Woodbridge and Sewaren
Protest to Long Delay and
Closing Off of Traffic
LETTER TO FREEHOLDERS
Fire Hazard for Sewaren Sec
2 ton Pointed Out in Plea
for Immediate Action

WOODBRIDGE. April 15;-Tbf
woodbridge Township Comnittet
last night took steps to have the
1reeholders take some action in
speeding up the completion of the
new Crab Creek bridge, or at least
nave this important span opened for
traffic. ~
Inc work has been under wav for
TWO months or more and for several
weeks the Sewaren- Woodbridge
road has been closed to traffic with
the result that Sewaren is practical
ly cut off from Woodbridge. All
vehicles desiring to go from one
place to the other must make the
long, roundabout trip via Port
Reading. The residents Of not only
Sewaren and Woodbridge but Perth
Amboy and other nearby places as
well are indignant over the laxity
being shown by the freeholders in
permitting such a condition to exist.
The fire hazard for Sewaren alone.
town officials say, is sufficient cause
Tor the indignation being shown by
the residents of that place as in case
OF O. big confiagration in that part
of the township much time would
be lost by the Woodbridge company
making the trip by way of Port
Reading.
It Is the understanding of the
Town committee members that when
the contract for the bridge was
awarded, there was a stipulation
that provision must be made to
maintain traffic which the construc-
tion was under way. This has not
been done and the structure has been
closed for many weeks.
The township clerk was last night
instructed to write to the Board of
Freeholders and request that body
to take action at once in either pro-
viding temporary crossing while
the work is being finished or reme-
dying what the township residents
regard as nuisance in having this
Important stretch of road closed for
SO long a period by speeding up the
work.

READY OR MUSIC WEEK

Tonight at st. Peters parish house,
Rector street, the Community Chorus
will hold its second rehearsal, at s
o'clock.
This chorus is open to any one who
desires to join, able to read music,
and is a revival of the organization
OF last year which gave a concert
in the high school for the benefit
of the nutrition work sponsored by
the Woman's Club.
This season the chorus is striving
TO form a permanent organization
Independent of the club. which fos-
tered it last year.
Maxwell MacMichael, the director,
hopes for at least $50 voices, and
urges all who can to be present to-
of who came from suburban towns,
of who mcame from suburban towns,
are urged to join and 1t is hoped
tonight's rehearsal will be largely at
tended. Because of Lenten services
in some of the churches, and the re-
petition of the Y. W., H. A. enter
tainment tonight, it is known that
some of the city's singers cannot
attend, but there should be enough
others to make a worthwhile meet
ing. There was a. good crowd last
week for the initial rehearsal.
Some of the music used last spring
has been loaned to the chorus By
the Woman's Club and some new
music, entertaining and not difficult,
is ready for trial tonight.
This chorus will furnish its quota
at the coming festival in music week

sails will be held with a later con-
cert in yiew

TELLS OF LIQUOR PLOT
AT DAUGHERTY PROBE

WASHINGTON, April 15.-C. H.
Kerns, recently released on parole
from the Atlanta penitentiary, told
the Daugherty committe today what
he declared was the inside story OF
Hhe liquor conspiracy in which he
had been convicted in Ohio.
He named Abe Ungerleider, of
Ohio as one of those to whom he
sold a large consignment of whis-
key, and declared Ungerleider had
told him he was in i position to dis
pose of the liquor because he had
contributed to the Republican
campaign fund.
AT one time Kerns also testified.
an Ohio attorney named Warren
Barnett had offered to get liquor
permits for him Il SIT a case
Through Howard Warrington and
Ralph Cole in Washington.
The witness said he employed
John Todd, a former partner of
Harry M, Daugherty. to represent
him in order to secure influence at
the Capitol, but went to the peni-
tentiary anyway. He was released
on parole in February, but declared
that since he had talked to several
people about appearing before the
Daugherty committee, he had been
ordered by Heber Votaw, the pris-
on commissioner, to return to At
1anta as soon as he was released
from subpoena.
Asked by Senator Wheeler if he
had employed Todd because he
thought he had Influence with the
Department of Justice Kerns re-
piled: II most certainly did"
- -
situation in Ohio, saying he had
talked several times with Abe I'm
gerleider," about his disposition OF
warehouse receipts for 500 barrels OF
whiskey Kerns owned. He said he
sold the whiskey to Ungerleider after
the latter had told him he could Sc
cure permits because of $4,000
contribution he made to the Repub-
lican campaign fund.

C0mPL Etc Denial MADE BY 2 ACCUSED
PATR0LMEN; CASE GOES TO JURY T0DA
SOLDIER BONUS MEASURE
NOW BEFORE SENATORS

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE
soldier bonus bill was formally re-
ported 10 the senate today by Sena-
tor Curtis, Kansas, Republican
member of the finance committee.
The measure is the same al passed
by the House except for mil. r
changes and would provide for
twenty-year endowment life insur-
ance policies and cash payments to
those not entitled to more than $50
in adjusted service compensation.
The committee report submitted
by Senator Curtis set forth without
comment three estimates made by
insurance actuaries as . the cost of
the insurance policies, the principal
feature of the bill, varying by more
than $1,400,000,000.
Consideration of tn bill by the
senate before the end of the week
is, in prospect, the finance committee
having agreed yesterday to place 1t
ahead of the tax reduction measure.
Howard P. Brown, Veterans
Rureau actuary, estimated the cost
of the insurance at $2,202, ,467, 42V;
Herbert Hess, the american Legion
actuary at $2,3S2,760,000 and JOS
eph Mccoy, treasury actuary at So
631,O47,691. The cpst was estimat-
e dat $2,025, 5,8S9,696 by the House
ways and means committee.
The maximum amount of an in
surance policy would be about
$1,000 if the service were overseas
and $1,000 for all home service, Di-
rector Homes of the Veterans Bu-
reau estimated Adjusted service
credits would be allowed on the
basis of 81 a day for home service
and SIPS for. overseas service with
maximums of $500 and s625 re-
spectively. The first sixty days SER
vice could not be counted.
Priority over the tax reduction
measure was voted for the bonus
bill by Republicans of the finance
committee and Chairman Smoot ex-
poets to call it up before the end
of the week. Plans to institute such
action by tomorrow or Thursday,
however, were checked somewhat by
failure of the. senate to restrict de-
bate today on the immigration bill.

HELD IN n. Y. ARM0RY

NEW YORK, April Is (By The
Associated Press) The Democratic
national convention next June may
be held in the 25Sth Field Artillery
armory in the Bronx. instead of
Madison Square Garden, it was
learned today from authoritative
sources.
The subcommittee of the nation
al committee, which is arranging de-
tails of the convention, has consider
ed a possible change, because of the
unprecedented demand for seats.
The Garden can only seat 12,231
persons, whereas the Bronx Armory
can seat between $4,000 and $4,000.
The huge armory. described as
the largest convention hall in the
world, covers 10000 square feet. 1t
is 600 feet long and 900 feet wide
and there are no posts to obstruct
the view of the spectators. The gall
lery alone willscare for 5000.

Will Be Ready Tomorrow for
Signatures-0rganization
Is Being Perfected

Although the copy for the petit
tions calling for a commission gov
ernment election in this city is in
the hands of the printer, there has
been a delay and it will be impos-
sible to place them in circulation be-
fore tomorrow. The petitions will
be in affidavit form, containing room
for about twenty-five signatures. The
person who circulates the petition
will be required to sign the affidavit,
which states that he or she has seen
the signatures written on the petition
and that they are not frauds. The
signatures will be arranged in wards
in order that the city clerk will
have no difficulty in looking them
up.
The petition calls upon the city
clerk to call an election for the
adoption of commission government,
as set forth under the Walsh act.
With this form of petition it is be-
lieved there will be little delay in
tracing the people whose names ap-
pear thereon and that the election
may be held without much delay.
Morris Margaretten, the attorney
who has drawn the petitions and is
furthering the movement for the
election, declared today that within
a few days he will be at liberty to
release for publication the names OF
those representative citizens who
have engaged him to start the
movement here. There is a possi-
bility Mr.. Margaretten said that
some of these names may be re-
leased tomorrow.
Although in political circles there
is much talk of the defeat of the
movement here. in other circles
people freely predict that the cleo
ton will be the means of changing
the form of government in this city.
Mr.. Margaretten has been assured
by people who have never before
taken part in commission govern
ment movements here. that they are
ready to back the movement today
and have even offered their services
in circulating the petitions, he de-
clares.
