STRICT SUPERVISION PROMISED BY BOARD Council will today bring to a fmat decision the problem of whether a doe- raring track is to be operated at the; )lign scnoot stadium this summer, with: indications pointing to a favorable i result for those desirious of opening the place as a new source of revenue for the city. An opinion will be sought from City Solicitor Joseph M. Turner on somewhat different interpretation of the state racing law than any to which it has yet been subjected. If Turner declares the broad intent of the recently passed statute gives the city such authority, council will by resolution ap prove leasing of the stadtmrr board of education.

the Subsequently strict regulations will be included in a new ordinance which is to include the entire Florida racing; cocie. The decision to go ahead if possible with the racing project, was reached by unanimous consent of council and school board at an informal conference last night. xhe dclav in jemg the stadium has been on whether the state law permits school to lease property if ap- only "auditoriums and arenas" can be renU'd for racing, but in both Long Branch and Wall township, vacant land has been rented for tracks. Strict Control Promised Harrison C. Hurley, president of the school trustees.

Mayor Sherman O. Dennis and Councilman Louis P. Croce were emphatic in insisting that if the stadium is rented it will be subjected the strictest supervision by a local commission. This body would see a fair return was obtained by spectators on pari-mutuel betting and prevent any racket being developed. Croce asserted that if the track is opened the few residents who have complained will be first to admit its value to the city.

Under a revenue scheme of being given three percent of betting receipts, has been estimated the city would receive between $40,000 and $60,000 during a 10-week season. Several members of the two official bodies felt that in addition the city-should charge a small tax on all admissions. If a favorable opinion is given by Turner, both council and school board will act on racing at their regular sessions tonight. If the property is leased it will require about a month to get the track condition for racing. SPRING LAKE INS NAME FIGHT "Como" Will Not Appear on Boro Station, Railroad Agrees.

and Loch Arbour, N. died at his home in Genr.antown yesterday of heart disease. Illness had compelled his retirement about a year ago. Sutherland's father-in-law, Ezekiel C. Williams, built the Allen avenue home, one of the first large residences in that boro.

There the famous wrirtr was married by his father, the Rt. Rev. Alexander Charles Sutherland. Always a champion of the oppressed. Sutherland battled strenuously for Irish self-government, opposed the British imperialism when it crushed the Boers, and despised German militarism.

His editorials, which became almost a textbook for American comment on the World war, have been published hi a four-volume edition under the title, "The War From This Side." Sutherland was born in Toronto, Canada, son of the Rev. Mr. Sutherland, Methodist Episcopal bishop of the province of Ontario and first trustee of the University of Toronto. He came to this country in 1897 and for two years was with the New York Herald. Later he came here and was associated with the North American until 1925.

New York; and Hugh Brock, of Philadelphia.

FEAR HE DROWNED (Continued from Page One) found in the house after the boy was missed. Swift Current In Creek The creek which runs almost in front of the Fiddler home is only a few yards wide in most places, but the water in it was nearly six feet in depth yesterday In the shallow places and deeper in the holes. The reason for the unusual tide Is said to be that water has been let into the stream from cranberry bogs which are now being drained. Yesterday the current in the tortuous channel was running swiftly over the sunken logs and branches that obstruct its course. Winding in snake-like fashion thru the forest, the stream finally empties into the Toms river several miles to the southeast.

Had the boy fallen into the water, he would have had no chance of coping with the current that carried a log along almost as fast as a man could walk, police said, and his body might even be carried thru the entire lencth of the stream into the river, tho the prevalence of the snags and stumps which rendered operations so difficult r.mde it more than possible that the body might be found near the spot where the mishap is supposed to have occurred.

A') A new Finnish debt agreement, slashing Its present high Interest rate almost to the zero point, awaited President Roosevelt's approval today. The draft, if satisfactory to the president, would give America's only paid-up-to-date debtor an Interest rate of .03 percent as compared to the present 3.5 percent. Altho Finland's remaining debt Is a comparative trifle $8,726,645 this definite and official suggestion assumed importance when dropped into the muddled situation involving debts run- lion. President Roosevelt intends to dispatch to congress shortly a message on war debts at least part of which will deal with the Vinnish obligations. Responsible officials said today the more favorable terms to be offered Finland could not be considered any standard formula for solution of the entire tangle.

There were no denials, however, that the agreement would be held up as an example to other powers. If finally approved, Finland's Interest rate would drop from the highest to the lowest. Great Britain also shares a 3.5 percent rate. The scale runs down to a present 1.0 rate by France and an .04 figure for Italy. Johnson Flays Token Payments The war debt situation flared Into high relief yesterday with an assertion by Senator Johnson (R-Cal.) author of tlie act banning financial transactions with defaulters, that further token payments would not be accepted on the next judgment day June 15.

Johnson, angered at Attorney General Cummlngs' ruling that token payees were not defaulters and thus were outside the scope of the Johnson bill, hit particularly at Great Britain ln his senate speech. He asserted it was absurd to accept a payment smaller than agreed upon from a nation that boasted a surplus in Its treasury. Senators expected today that the powerful voice of Borah of Idaho would join In the war debts argument before nightfall. While debtor nations and administration officials considered the ifs and ands of tokens, Alexander Troyanovsky, the Soviet ambassador, made a prompt appearance at the state department to protest the attorney general's designation of Russia as a "defaulter." He told reporters he had "objected," but said he could not make public tlie official Soviet position "at the present time." Altho negotiations are now in progress on the U. S.

"I think Uiere is no question but that the code will be slightly amended and extended," Johnson said. "Will the amendments be ln accordance with the federal trade commission recommendations?" he was asked.

"They'll be In accordance with our own Johnson replied. "We've been sitting in ot) the code right along." The trade commission assailed the basing point method of -establishing prices as a procedure which led to price fixing in the steel industry.

FOR STATE CODE Jersey Liquor Sellers Tell Tepper Bootleggers Hurt Legitimate Trade. H0TELMEN OPPOSED TO FURTHER REGULATIONS NEWARK. May 8. if) Bootleggers are undermining the legitimate trade in alcoholic beverages in New Jersey, representatives of liquor dealers told State Administrator Harry L. Tepper yesetcrday in applying for a state code.

Favoring a code were WiUiam C. Egan, Jersey City lawyer, representing the New Jersey Licensed Beverage as sociation; Thomas Burns, Newark, speaking for the Essex County Tavern and Restaurant association; Herman Silverstein, Jersey City, of the New Jersey Retail Liquor Stores association; Sidney Simadl, Newark, of the Newark Retail Liquor Dealers association, and A. L. (Gus) Waldron, Trenton, representing the Mercer County Liquor Dealers association. "Our trade must assist the federal and state governments to clean up the bootleggers," Egan said.

"To do this effectively we must have a state code. The trad; is now in chaos. Under a state code it can work out its own salvation." He said he represented 4,376 concerns and that the need for a code would still exist if the number of dealers were decreased. A copy of the tentative code has been sent to D. Frederick Burnett, state alcoholic beverage commissioner.

Waldron said many of the dealers were buying from bootleggers because of the intense competition, and declared a code would rid the state of bootleggers. Clarence A. Leggs, secretary of the Nation Association of RetAll Beverage Dealers of New Jersey, objected to a state code on the grounds that it would increase prices, and L. W. Parsons, manager of the Stacy-Trent hotel, Trenton, representing the New Jersey Hotelmen's association, said the association was opposed to a state code because of the cost, since hotels are now-working under the hotel and restaurant code.
