Judge Doremus,
Busy on Campaign
Irnpresses All

Asbury Park, April 29.-Judge Cor
nelius Doremus, Republican candi-
date for the nomination for governor
carried his campaign into Monmouth
county for a third time last night
when he addressed a group meeting
of five councils of the Royal Area
mum in the Metropolitan hotel here
at SIS o'clock.
About $50 men and women, mem
Long Branch, Red Bank, Keyport and
Atlantic Highlands were present as
he was introduced by Past Regent J.
w, Buckley and Henry C. M. Quelch,
presiding officer.
From the support, the letters, the
telephone and personal calls l have
received in the past two weeks" the
judge said, "the reaction from my at
tacks upon unenforced laws has stead
lily grown from the light rattle of
musketry when l was the first Re
publican to announce my candidacy
to what has now become the rumble
of heavy artillery.
1.-THE most un-American thing about
the administration of American gov
ernment today is it's laxity of enforce
ment. And if we are going to keep
those great booming messages of
Roosevelt and Lincoln and Washing
ton alive in this state l tell you peo-
,,1n Nf hot
must put executives into Office from
the blue rims of the Ramapo noun
tains on the northern border to the
stretches of sun-baked sand in Cape
May, who will put teeth into the prac-
tice of the statutes.
ut is not out of order that some of
the fighting spirit of that intrepid lit
tie band of patriots who wrote the
name of Monmouth so indelibly upon
American history be injected into the
actions of our state authorities. For
we have never had a more insidious
foe, who hesitates at nothing, than
the bootlegger and the hip pocket
flask, which are making of us a race
of hypocrites."
Following the judges speech there
was a class initiation of the Royal
Arcanum and the degree work was
conferred by Coronal Council of Key
port. Past Grand Regent Knox of
Passaic and Grand Regent Jacob
Serbia of Newark were also speakers.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Dore-
mus spoke before nearly 100 repre-
sentatives of the financial group of
the Bond Club of Newark at the
Downtown Club in the Kinney build
ing at o'clock. At noon yesterday
Judge Doremus addressed the Rotary
Club in RidgeWood.

How New Jersey
Sends Its Daily
Hordes Into N. Y. City

The Jersey commuter to New
York is no longer a downtown COM
muter. The North Jersey Transit
Commission has found as a result of
the recent passenger traffic census
that the Jersey man penetrates to
Manhattan's "farthest north" in the
business world.
Jerseymen are supposed to do
business almost exclusively below
Chambers street. The count shows
that only 33.5 per cent of the Jersey
commuters go below Chambers street.
In fact, only 500 per cent of the Jer-
of Thirty-third street, which is the
more surprising. In the check-off of
passengers it was shown that 20.5
per cent go to business between
Thirty-third and Fifty-ninth street,
while five per cent go to work north
of Fifty-ninth street
The checkup, in detail, shows the
following: Below Chambers street,
33.5 per cent; Chambers to Four
teenth street, 1872; Fourteenth to
Thirty-third, 1872; Thirty-third to
Forty second, 1O.7; Forty-second to
Fifty-ninth, 9.S; north of Fifty-ninth,
so; Brooklyn, AS; Queens, 10; else
where, 81.
These conclusions are being stud
led with great care by the North Jer-
sey Transit Commission in the work
ing out of plan for rapid transit
from New Jersey to New York The
wide distribution of passengers is
very interesting in view of the work
of the commission toward an inter
state belt line loop connecting Jersey
City and Weehawken, in Hudson
county, with present subways, or new
subways, in New York, via tunnels or
possibly by the proposed Lindenthal
bridge to Fifty-seventh street, Man
haitian.

8471 Per Cent Profit

A fraction more than SAT- per cent
profit on the original investment.
Land value now has 85 times the
value it had 22 years ago. That is
the newest story of advance in real
estate value due to city growth which
has come to the National Association
of Real Estate Boards. This time it's
from the records of a recent real es.
tate transaction in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The transaction was the sale of a
75x140 foot lot. In 1903 the lot was
bought by R. S. Corlitt for s1,75O
Corlitt just sold the lot for S150,00O
The property during the last few
years is said to have yielded a yearly
gross income nearly three and hall
times its purchase price.

Movie Activities by
Local People in Fl. Lee

The old Peerless Studio property
on Lewis street and Linwood ave-
nue., have been taken over by the
Fort Lee Studios, Inc, which is COM
posed only of Fort Lee people.
The permanent office of the new
firm is located on the premises. Re-

to visitors to see what can be done
to increase the revenue of the people
of Fort Lee, when the studio is again
active.

necessary to start the plant will soon
be obtained. 1t is hoped that early in

Court Rules Against
City in Zoning Case

Zoning in New Jersey was given
another jolt last week when the
Supreme Court ordered authorities of
Weehawken Township, Hudson
County, to issue building permits al
lowing the Nelson Building Company
and Solomon Rosick to build apart
ment houses in zone restricted to
one-family houses. The permits had
been refused by the local authorities.
The township has no building code,
explained the court, and attempts to
regulate construction by coming Or
dinance.
The arbitrary limitation of certain
zones to one and two-family houses,
however, said the court, is unreason-
able.

Awards Contract for
Mausoleum Bronze Work

An award of contracts for bronze
work for the million-dollar mauso-
leum in Fairview cemetery has been
awarded to John Polecheck, Incor-
porated, of Long Island City. The
contracts aggregate over $4,000.
All metal work in the mausoleum
is of bronze. The massive portals
will be entirely of bronze, as will
also the doors to the costly private
rooms, the window frames and all
metal work, interior and exterior.
Massive bronze gates, in classic
design, will enclose the front of the
private sections.
The designs for the bronze work
were made in Europe by famous
art worker in bronze, sought espe-
cially by Frederic Alson-Garner on
a trip some months ago. The bronze
work is among the last in the mau-
soleum to be put in place, and the
awarding of the contracts from the
designs which have recently come
from across the seas is an indication
of the fact that the great structure
is nearing completion.
Thousands who have visited the
mausoleum during the past two
weeks will also attest this fact, for
the beautiful structure is now open
for inspection each day and all day
on Sundays.
The widespread interest in the
mausoleum is shown by the fact that
people are coming from all parts of
New Jersey, from New York, and
even from Connecticut, many of
them especially to see the structure
in which they have bought crypts or
private rooms.

Lord Byron and the Eagle

The last bird ever fired at was an
eagle on the shore of the Gulf of
Lepanto, near Vostiza. 1t was only
wounded, and I tried to save it, the
eye was so bright, but it pined and
died in few days; and never did
since, and never will attempt the
death of another bird" journal Of
Lord Byron.

There Is something naive about
these rascals who say they commit
crime for the thrill. Presumably
there is thrill to be experienced in
jumping off some high building and
no prolonged suffering to accompany
it. nor serious injury to other folks.
When human being like Chapman,
now on trial at Hartford for murder
and with long sentence for robbery
hanging over him, has had his lib
erty for but a third Of his time In
the past fifteen years, has been har-
ried from pillar to post, has risked
his own and the lives of others in
his struggle to loot society and new
er paid his acknowledgment for its
permitting him to grow to manhood,
his should not be very attractive
master mind. Really he is a
ghastly failure. Something must be
wrong with those wishing to initiate
him. No wonder Chapman himself,
when his exploits were alluded to, is
reported to have said: "And what
has it got me?" He really is an OBJ
ject of pity, wastrel, a wrecker Of
his own and others hopes, not one
to excite admiration In any but a
weak mind.

Editors Letter Box
Pretty Little Spring Drama

Augusta, Mar. 26, 1925
Editor. Kennebec Journal,
Dear SIR
Perhaps the following isn't worth
writing, but this morning a robin
the first that we have seen, flew
down from a tall tree and alighted
on the ground by my house. In
stantly. a flock of sparrows-five or
six-dropped from a nearby bush
and surrounded him. Mr.. Robin
looked resentful, braced himself
back, swelled out his red vest POM
pously, and gave an important
sounding chirk, as if saying: per
haps you don't know that / have
been South this winter"
At this the sparrows started a
great chattering which sounded like:
'Yes, but we are just as fat and
healthy as you are and we have been
here all winter working, and boost
ing Maine" Sir Robin quirked his
head and seemed considering, but
having nothing to offer in way OF
rebuttal wisely looked down and be-
gan pecking at what seemed to be
a choice morsel, that his bright eyes
had. no doubt, seen from afar.
The sparrows were willing to share
it with him, but all was harmonious
and the gathering seemed to end IN
q little social affair and as If in hon
or of the guest from the southland
until they all happened to think of
something at the same time, and
flew away together-but it was all
a very pretty little spring drama.
