Hongkong, Oct. II Cp-Several tows, lighters and other craft left Hongkong this morning for Kong moon, Samshui and Wuchow, es- corted by British gunboats and arm- ed launches.

WASHINGTON AGAIN
 BEING ASSAILED
Married for Money, Not Love, Is
 Latest Charge

New York, Oct. 14 CPD - That George Washington married for money and not for love is the charge made in two biographies of the hero just published here. One was written by Rupert Hughes who aroused quite a storm last winter with similar iconoclastic charges The other volume was written by w. E. Woodward, author Of Bunk"
 Hughes declares and Woodward intimates, that Washingtons mar riage at the age of 26 with Mrs. Martha Custis was founded on sound business considerations, but that his love was given solely to Mrs. Sally Fairfax, two years his senior. and wife of the friend who had given him his first chance as surveyor in the valley of Shenan- doah Hughes represents that Washington before he won the rich widow Custis had tried for the hand and fortune of Miss Mary Philipse, who owned 51,000 acres. Martha Custis had only 15,000 acres, but she also owned 150 slaves and $100,000 in cash.
 All this Mir. Hughes deduced from a letter that Washington wrote to Mrs. Fairfax after his en- gagement to Mrs. Custis. The biography covers Washington's life up to his 30th year and the hero is depicted as a church summer. a hard taskmaker with his slaves and a most exacting man in business, although liberal with rum in his dealings with the voters. Wash ington was always drinking but never drunk" the author notes.
 Not of First Rate Ability
 W. E. Woodward in his book says that Washington was not a man of first rate ability but in many ways was a great man-not only great but very great" As to the heros marriage, Mir. Wood ward avoids a direct statement of belief but leaves distinct impress sion that 1t is his conviction that Washington married for money and that he was in love with Mrs. Sally Fairfax. Of his drinking Mir. Wood ward says;
 Washington was one-bottle man at dinner he customarily drank a pint of Madeira besides rum punch and beer If he was ever intoxicated I have never read of it and judging from what l know of his character, I am in clined to think he never was"
 Letter to Sally
 Washington wrote in his letter to Sally Fairfax that Huges quotes: The world has no business to know the object of my love de- clared in this manner to you when want to conceal it, Adieu to hap pier times if I shall ever see them. The hours at present are melan- choly dull" The biographer con- ments:
 There were numbers of people that knew he had loved Sally Fair fax for a long time. She kept that love hopeless either because she did not love him at all or because she did not love him well enough to destroy him and herself and the home of her admirable husband"
 Hughes characterizes Washington as past master of dancing, drinking, gambling, polite and ex- quisite tlirtation."
 Rupert Hughes beck Is entitled George Washington. the Human Being and the Hero" and is pub- lished by William Morrow and Co. W. E. Woodwards biography is en- titled George Washington; the Image and Man." and is published by Boni and Liveright.

New State Commissioner of Ed.

Calls For Statewide Survey

Although the New Jersey school
laws require the State Commissioner
of Education to determine the efficien-
cy of schools of the State, no proviS-
ions have been made to carry out the
required surveys to comply with the
law.
Dr. John p Logan, the new commits
sioner, has asked the Legislature for
$25, 900 the survey, and Governor
.s-.,s.er7s As indorf dul,rfe . "a d1st- The
fund would be used to carry out the
work continuously by establishing a
Director of Research and Efficiency
working directly under the commits
sioner to study the whole question of
efficiency and coordinate all of the
present facilities of the department. A
principal task would be the supervis-
ion of the whole question of efficiency
tests Another would be to furnish
valuable special help to localities and
to undertake surveys of individual
school systems.
Commissioner Logan does not pro-
pose to establish new bureau at pres
ent. His plan is for a director report
ing to the commissioner and such adj
ditional clerks as would be needed to
grade the papers of efficiency tests and
prepare material informing all school
people of the exact nature of the de-
partments' standards.
Work of the nature described by DR..
Logan would be highly welcome to the
school men of New Jersey he declares.
There is a general feeling that the
present State efficiency tests are and
must be failure until these tests can
be scored throughout by single group
of experienced graders, he asserted
Under the provision of the Logan
plan, the new director would be paid
a salary of from $4,000 to $4,000.

Plan Overhead
Traffic Route
Traffic to Go Over Inclines in
New Road and Decatur
Avenues, PleaSantville
Cost State About $336,OOO
Shape of Route Now Proposed
Like a Question Mark, With
End at Verona Avenue Bou-
levard.

Improvement in routing traffic west
and east through the city of Pleasant
vile has been provided in plans now
being completed by the State High
way Department. AS already stated
in The Pleasantville Press, the volume
of traffic will be diverted from the
Harding pike at the New road to the
south and east. In the first plans, tun-
nels under the rail crossings were con-
sidered and it was hoped that the
traffic could be sent through Verona
avenue direct to the Pleasantville and
Atlantic City boulevard.
Recent studies developed the advisa-
bility of overhead crossings of the
Third Rail electric at Harding High
way, or route IS, as it is officially
known, and New road. The safety
detour will come to grade at New road
and Decatur avenue, follow Decatur
avenue to the Fast Shore Line cross
ing, going on an incline again, swing
ing at right angle over the tracks and
coming to grade again at Verona ave
nue. and the Pleasantville boulevard.
Roughly the shape of the proposed
new route is that of question mark.
The Improvement will cost approx
matyle $336,000. The burden of ex-
pense will be borne by the State.
The City of Pleasantville has held
up street improvement work in Verona
and Decatur avenues in the face of the
plans of the State Highway Commits
sion. The Atlantic County Board of
Freeholders have endorsed the plans
and has urged the State to make the
improvement at the earliest possible
moment.
A committee of Freeholders has
been appointed to confer with the COM
mission as follows: Director Fraley F..
Doughty; Chairman John B. Tomlin,
of the road committee; Judge E. A..
Higbee, county counsel; Japhet Price,
supervisor of reads, and County Engi-
neer Nelson,
