NEW JERSEY LEGAL
 SYSTEM ASSAILED
Governor Moore Says It Needs
 Complete Survey

Trenton, N. J.. Jan. 10 R1The work of the criminal courts is hin- dered by legal technicalities surviv- ing from time before the radio, air. plane and even the telegraph and telephone, Governor A. Harry Moore said in his annual message to the New Jersey legislature today.
 'our legal system needs sur vey," he said. "The legislature should ruthlessly cut away all tech nicalities from legal criminal pro- cedure and leave the courts free to deal with crime on tho simple basis ot whether it has been committed. and if 20, who committed it and how shall the punishment go."
 Tho governor asserted that prohi- bition. despite many attempts to sidetraok it as an issue. was in point of fact the most outstanding issue in the country today.
 II again recommend the repeal of the state enforcement act" he said. "and the submission to the people Of the state of . real referen- dunn which will permit them 10 ex- press their Niews.'
 Remarking that New Jersey must keep abreast of it's sister states in the matter of aviation. Gov. Moore told the legislators that the matter Of building adequate airport facili- ties was one that could not be "un. duly postponed" He advocated em- powering counties and municipaii- ties to issue bonds for airport pur- poses and called attention to . re- quest in his budget message for Sl5O,000 for buildings at the air port of the filth Division observa- lion squadron to be organized this year.
 The governors message was transmitted to the legislature at the opening Of its 1sod session.

PLAINvILLE CROSSING
 WILL BE ELIMINATED
(Continued from First Page.)

The hearing on the crossing elin- ination will be held at the office of the commission, Room 4l in the state capitol at Hartford at 10:30 o'clock on the morning of January c6, according to notices received here today from Secretary Henry F. Billings. At that time the individ- uaIs and concerns having property in the neighborhood of the crossing or other wise interested will have an opportunity to inspect the plans and learn the highway departments es- inmates of damages.
 The property owners who are af- fected by tho project are the follow- ing: New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Co. Southern New England Telephone Co.,, Con-
 necticut Co.,, Conn. Light < Power ! Co.,. Bristol Gas O.. Plainviile Wa ter works. Western Union Co, Will liam and Elizabeth Irwin. 36 East street: John and Minnie Mitchell. 34 East street. Mary sames and Nellie

Arnold. 30 East street: Mary and Antonio Melito. s7 East street: Anthony colella. s1 East street: Hugh Flood. B East street: Ruth Meehan, 90 Garden street, New Britain; and the town of Plainvtlle. The East street crossing is that which lies just south of Blossom's corner. near the Trumbull Electric Mfg. Co.,. on the short cut" which avoids the center of Plainvillc and rejoins the main road at Hart's cor ner. It is considered a dangerous crossover. It has been the scene of several bad accidents. the last ser- ious one occurring on the night of February 2. 1927, when Mrs. Ethel Schutte was critically injured and three other persons hurt as a train ran down the automobile in which they were riding.
 It's elimination has been consider cd for some time by the state, which requires the abolisllins of 8 certain number of grade crossings each year. For several years, also. the state has wished to pave East street and use it as portion of the College highway. thereby diverting traffic from the center of the town and shortening the highway by fully d quarter of a mile. This plan has been held up pending the elimina- ton of the grade crossing and it will probably be carried out along with the latter step. although Mir. Mac- donald today could set no time for the beginning of work.
 The proposed East street change will not affect the East Main street crossing, Mr. Macdonald said.

entirely wrong in attempting 10 prosecute the man when he knew the evidence in the case did not war rant it, and want to publicly com- mend Judge Saxe for the stand he took in refusing to tnflict punish ment on the accused man.
 IT read in the newspapers that Chairman Chamberlain of the police board does not wish to accept any complaint against the officers unless the complainant makes his identity known by complaining in person. l feel r. Chamberlain has been lax in this case. He knows the facts; knows the man was beaten with a club and that he was found not guilty of the offenses for which he was placed under arrest. Chairman Chamberlain should have enough in- tercst in the department to institute an investigation without everyone in town writing a letter to him to tell him something he already knows. It is his duty and an obligation on his part to investigate.
 Too Much Clubbing
 There's altogether too much of this business of beating up a prison CT with policeman's club. The police department for the most part presents a fine body of men who are doing good work. But there are very apparent examples also which makes the need for a shake-up imperative.
 T am not going to make any com- plaint in this case or ask for an in- yestigation, because I don't feel it should be necessary. If the commis- sioners do not wish to be marked by laxity they will proceed without any further formality or complaint"

CIVIC CLUBS FEAR : TO DISCUSS ISSUES
Roy. Gaho1 Badg Idu
 @uBs a Noea LlnAeps

''Civic clubs in New Britain are afraid 10 discuso Geneeal civic h. sues in a large way" membeFs of the New Britain LieA9 club were told today by Rabbi oershon HadAs, who addressed the club.
 Referring to the Lions' annual frolic for the benefit Of orphans and blind children in the city. which will be held the i-st three nights Of next week. Rabbi Hadas said he did not think the publtc of New Britain was sufficiently we'll informed upon the eventual purpose of the funds of this frolic. "'
 He said he disliked the werd charity and preferred to. use . Jewish word meaning justice" He said the frolic is for the purpose Of providing justice for those who need it.
 He said that he did not think the Justice given orphans and needy children in this city was adequate and that the civic clubs of the city were afraid to discuss in a general manner. public issues in ! large way.
 "We should care for the helpless in | moro fundamental manner than by simply throwing them ! bit of charity from time to time." contin- ued Rabbi Hadas. Tt should not be necessary for the Lions to go out and beg people to buy tickets to help in d just cause. America has fallen down in recent years iron, what used to be a universal custom of discussing political issues.
 "Now>if . group of men meet In a Pullman car or in q church vestt- bule or any other place, when the subject Of politics is brought up the discussion immediately falls of.
 Tt used to be that men would dis. cuss politics whenever they met; now it has come to pass that even the children must come to us and de- mand justice.
 You should say te the people Of New Britain that Your children and my children demand this thing from you which you must give them.'
 We should provide in the future when this frolic is over. 80 that We can help these children get justice at all times when they actually de. mand it.
 The situation demands careful analysis. We should find some way to, provide for these children ade. quately and regularly. The work you are doing along this line is blessed by God, by humanity and by little children"
 What was considered a real ind, was the introduction of Carmen Gag liardi, Il years old and student in the Central Junior high school. Car men. who is . student of James D. Donahue, surprised the members by his rich. full soprano voice. He sang several numbers.
