PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD SEEKS
TO BOTTLE UP" LAMBERTVILLE
Want to Close Coryell Street Bridge, Leaving
Only One Opening Across the Canal Be-
tween This City and Pennsylvania.


Lambertville-Not content with
subjecting Lambertville to the con.
tinued nerve-raeking blasts Of
shrieking whistles as trains pass
thru this city, and blocking traffic
FOR an hour at time over the two
railroad crossings here, the Penn.
syivania Railroad now seeks TO add
insult to lniury in eliminating the
CoryeA street bridge over the canal
owend by the railroad.
1t only recently came to light that
Mayor Moonan was in receipt of a
communication from A. B. Clark
superintendent of the Trenton Di-
vision, requesting that the City
Commission pass an ordinance to
make it lawful for the Coryell street
bridge to be closed. 1t is to the
Mayors credit that he did not rec
ommend any such action when re-
porting the letter at the next meet
ing.
However, a protest was filed with
Mr.. Clark against the blatant
shriekin" of engine whistles as they
pass thru this city. As far back as
Septer,jer 26. 1925 the Board of
Commissioners have been protesting
against these nerve-racking blasts
which start from the time trains
enter the city and continue until
both crossings have been passed,
But beyond few suave promises,
the Railroad officials have never
stopped the nuisance. Again on July
1th and July oath City Clerk Van
Malta has protested in writing
against the continuance of the nui-
sance, and informed Mr.. Clark that
"Unless this nuisance is abated the
Commissioners state that they will
be compelled to resort to whatever
laws will cover the situation.
Mr.. Clark replied, 1--WE have re-
newed our instructions to our men
to keep the blowing of the whistles
to the minimum required by law
and the rules governing the run
ming of trains" But the shrieking
blasts continue, if anything, with
even greater intensity and arrogan,
disregard of public comfort. In IN
meantime the Board of Commission
ers is heseiged with complaints, and
this paper is constantly implored
to give publicity to the matter t.
show the arrogant disdain with
which The Railroad is treating Lam
bertville.
1t is a general theory that the
Railroad officials seek to drive pub
lie opinion into submitting to the
closing of the Coryell street bridge
with the idea that the continuous
whistle blasts will be abated if the
crossing is eliminated. But instead
of submitting to this, public opin-
ion is at last so resentful that con-
certer efforts are to be made to
force the Railroad to install gates
at the two crossings so that traffic
will be better protected and there
will be no excuse for the horrible
blasts of train whistles.

SHOULD HAVE CROSSING
GATES

1t has been pointed out on num-
bers of occasions that the heavy in
terstate traffic crossing here between
Pennsylvania and New Jersey makes
it exceedingly dangerous where only
a man holding small disk warns
of an approaching train. With traf-
fc heavy at the Railroad Station
and with pedestrians constantly
passing back and forth, it is diff
cult to see the grade Waterman
with his little disk on a pole.

All the strategy of the Navy

Before Wilbur left Washington,

with the home folks in Kansas
would change his mind, Zirkle. to
the surprise OF the Navy chiefs, re

EMBEzzLER TELLS
 STORY OF LOSSES
Forced to Bed by Race Track
 "BOOkieS"

New York, Nov. T. Pl--- An in- vestigation of racetrack bookmakers is to follow a story of trickery told yesterday by c. Russell Morton, one of the three Bowery Savings Bank tellers under arrest for embezzle- ment of s45,000. The action against the boollmallers was promised by District Attorney Banton, to whom Morton related how he had been cheated of S52,00o winnings.
 Morton said he began playing the ponies about two years ago. and when the bookmakers learned he was bank teller they wrote him let ters threatening to 'tell on him" un- less he increased his bets.
 To comply with the demands of the bookmaker3, Morton said he took s5,2o0 from the bank and placed it on "1O to 1 shot" The horse won, but when Morton appeared to col lect his bet the "bookie." he related, told him he had not placed the mon- ey on the horse because he had been confdentially informed the horse would not win.
 Instead of returning his s5.200. Morton said, the boollmaker put s. GOO of it on "25 to i shot,' which did not win. The rest of the S5,20O was lost in an effort to recoup.
 Morton, who tried to commit sui eide by leaping from a window in the district attorneys office when arrest ed Tuesday, was held in s50.000 bail with Clarence Oliver. Reginald To- see, the third teller vas released on S5,000 ball.

HARVARD OFFICIALS
 TELEGRAPH APOLOGIES
Both President Lowell and Dean Greenough Regret the Lam-
 poon Incident

New York. Nov. II R-The New York Times today says apologies telegraphed to Princeton by Presi- dent Lowell and Dean Greenough of Harvard for articles appearing in the Harvard Lampoon were as follows:
 To President Hibben:
 You can imagine how humiliat- ed we feel here by the action of the Lampoon. The policy of not cen soring undergraduate publications is, believe, in the long run, right, but it is subject occasionally to breaches of propriety which give a false impression of the student at titude toward our friends in other institutions This is particularly true of comic paper. I can only tell you and all Princeton men how badly we feel for conduct which is wholly repugnant to the sentiments of Harvard men.
 Yours very sincerely,
 "A. LAWRENCE LOWELL"
 To Dean Gauss:
 "I have just read the Princeton number Of the Lampoon. It seems to me to require apology, and as dean of Harvard college apologize to you and to them for having shown such a lack of tact. apol- ogize to you as dean of Princeton college for utterances which cannot help but have bad effect on the relations of the two colleges.
 .. "C. NJ. GREENOUGH."

OIL SHARES ARE
 QUITE GOOD TODAY
Rails However, Fail to Respond
 to Favorable Reports

New York, Nov. II Pl-Specula- tors for the advance regained con- trol of the price movement in to- days stock market, which was fea- tured by the strength and activity of the oil and public utility shares. Rails railed to make any appreciable response to the establishment of new freight traffic record and little progress was made by the motors, but outstanding strength was shown by number of food, mercantile, chemical and copper shares.
 Further indications of an casing of the credit situation was seen in the lowering of the rate on bankers acceptances. The renewal rate on call money was unchanged at IA per cent, but plenty of funds were available below that figure in the "outside market" The announce ment that U. S. treasury officials would oppose a permanent reduc- ton In income taxes at this time failed to dampen bullish enthusiasm
 Bear traders offered little opposi- ton to the advance. The borrow ing demand for some issues was so large at the close of the market yes terday as to lead to short covering on the first signs of an active buy ing. United railways investment preferred jumped six and a half points, and was followed into new high ground by nearly score other issues, including Montana Power, Dupont (new stock,) Texas Gulf Sulphur, Radio Corporation pre- ferred and Virginia iron, coal and coke. Other strong spots included Continental Baking A and B, South Porto Rican sugar. American Agri- cultural Chemical preferred and h. ternatioral Agricultural Chemical prior preferred.
