a 1 I THE MORNING POST. CAMDEN, FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1930 MILLVILLE MAN HELD 30 FRAUD CHARGES BY LOUISIANA POLICE Merle Querns, Former Shoe Merchant, Sent Fake Suicide. Note Home SKIPPED PENNA. BAIL Millville, April Querna, former Millville shoe merchant, is being held for trial at Shreveport, on 39 charges of embezzlement and false pretense, according to information sent Millville police by Police Chief J. J.

Allen, Shreveport, who adds that he is wanted in Georgia and Mississippi on similar charges. Querns went under the alias of Donald Bishop. He sold cooking utenails, accepting a down payment and then failing to make delivery. He was arrested on a similar charge in Coatsville, early last year and jumped $500 bail bond, sending a letter to his wife, Mrs. Ethel Querns, of East Main street, in which he bade her goodby and said his bones would be found in the Virginia marshes.

That was the last heard of him until his arrest at Shreveport. Querns was arrested two years ago for obtaining money under false pretense on hosiery selling scheme In Camden and Gloucester counties. Woodbury police made the arrest and an uncle, Frank Carter, of South Vineland, paid the bill amounting to approximately $800, under promise that Querns would return to Millville and lead different life. He came home and joined a church and for while was a model husband. Betty, age 9, the only child, lives with her mother here, Mrs.

A second resolution, set aside Apri! 3 as American Creed Day on which every citizen will be asked to repeat the pledge of allegiance to the flag. In the course of report of the National Committee on the Sons and Daughters of the Republic, an of children, Mrs. Ike Barton McFarland, chairman, told the delegates: "Flaming youth can be a firebrand of disaster, or it may be a torch of enlightenment. Its destiny lies in our hands as well in its own.

And it will shine with a glorious radiance if its sparks but be fed with patriotism and love and fanned by truth and loyalty." Mrs. McFarland decried the inroads of communism and socialism 'or the schools, and urged the support the delegates in active moves to combat the propaganda. Against Alliances A series of brilliant social affairs took place this evening at conclusion of the business session. One of the U. S.

Senator Hamilton F. Kean to outstanding events was a reception by New Jersey's delegates to the convention. As hostess at a midnight supper, Mrs. C. Edward Murray, Trenton, regent of the New Jersey organization, entertained large number of Jersey delegates and members.

Upholding America's traditional independence of action in world affairs, the members today adopted a sweeping resolution opposing all foreign tanglements and alliances. The resolution said: "Whereas, the Daughters of the Revolution has as its founAmerican. best interests of the United States, and whereas citizens of the United States cherish the admonition of George Washington to refrain from foreign entanglements, therefore, be it resolved that the Daughters of the American Revolution does hereby oppose the commitment of our country to entangling alliances which could operate to limit our full liberty of decision in international The convention made decisive its stand of yesterday when it adopted a report opposing the entrance into the League of Nations, the League Court, or any European consultative pacts or security agreements. Repudiation by the 4083 delegates of the principles set forth by President Hoover when he opened the convention Monday night with a plea for -apport of the League Court, was unanimous. A.

few moments later the delegates went on record for adequate national defense, adopting with enthusiasm a report of Mrs. William Walker Sherman, chairman of the National DeTense Committee. "Only five and a fraction cents out of every tax dollar goes for providing national defense. Another ridiculous charge," she said, "is often heard, that the army and navy want war. Our committee answers that such an assertion insults and indicts their intelligence and training.

Do flood sufferers hope there will be another Hood? Do any who have gone through a tornado catastrophe or an epidemic scourge want to repeat their experience? How unfair then to say that those who know most about war are the first to want it again." PILLOW AND 3 SUITS FOUND AT STREET CORNER Three suits of boys' clothing, a pillow and a rug were brought into the Second: District police station, Broadway and Chestnut streets, yesterday by a man who said he found them.

Bridge Train Terminal Under New Plan BUS TERMINAL How bridge trains would At in with present arrangement of Camden end of Delaware River Bridge under plan submitted to the Bridge Joint Commission yesterday by Joseph K. Costello, bridge manager. Bridge trains would use two tracks but only the south wing of the bridge and end at a "stub end" terminal as shown. This Costello considered a "quick and method, to be developed later as the situation warrants.

The City Camden would be allowed to extend the bridge line as it chose. Site of a bus terminal en property owned by the bridge also is shown. Costello Suggests Bridge Speed Line (Continued from Page One) ket street tube in Philadelphia. Eventually it is to connect with a subway to West Philadelphia to be built on either Locust or Walnut streets. Under Costello's plan passengers from Camden could ride as far 88 Eighth and Market streets.

When the Locust or Walnut street line is built they will be able to ride to West Philadelphia. Terminal Farored The terminal to be used in Camden would be of an inexpensive "umbrella-, shaped type." the report says. Costello mentions but does not cuss proposals to continue the bridge trains to Fifth and Mickle streets here and to the Reading and Pennsylvania terminals. This matter, he says, "is entirely within the province of the city of Camden." A connection with the Market street subway direct or by running the Market street subway over the bridge into Camden instead of to South street, Philadelphia, is called "'impossible" in the plan. No action was taken on the plan presented and the report was taken under advisement.

The monthly report showed 921.732 vehicles crossed the span during March, an increase of 70.838 over March, 1929, and an increase of 335.291 over March, 1927. Receipts for the month were $282,816.59, an increase $44.990.99 over March, 1929, and of $127,013.27 over March, 1927. Text of Plan The full text of Costello's plan fol- hours. Lacks Cash lows: High speed transit on 1 rails across the Delaware river bridge between Camden and the subway system of Philadelphia is a possibility that can be attained economically and quickly. This would be a two-track line from Fifth and Linden streets, Camden, across the bridge using the south side both going and coming, through a subway to be built in Race street and thence into the Eighth street subway and Market streets, Philadelphia.

The demand for this connection seems to have grown very much within the past few months and numerous plans have been proposed. I submit that the problem resolves itself into three parts, namely, the City of Philadelphia, the City of Camden and the Delaware river bridge. The bridge was, of course, designed with a view to accommodating high speed transit lines and therefore the least complex part of the problem is our own. The connecting link to be afforded by the bridge is the simplest part of the chain and it would take less time to lay tracks upon the structure than to do the necessary work at either terminus. Corrects Impression Possibily arising from unfamiliarity with the rather involved subject, there has been an impression that high speed transit on the bridge was either doomed or was severely handicapped by the construction by the Delaware River Bridge Joint Commission of the vehicular underpass now nearing completion in Fifth street, Philadelphia.

It has been said that high speed trains could not operate unless the underpass were torn out and replaced by the longer underpass suggested in 1924 which called for the demolition of costly property from Cherry street to Race street and from Vine street to Callowhill street in Philadelphia. Six years ago the joint commission gave careful attention to the building of this longer underpass but no funds were available for acquisition of the necessary property and construction costs and the project was therefore of necessity set aside. The bridge was opened in 1926 with a grade intersection at Fifth street and for more than three years bridge traffic and Fifth street traffic mutually interfered with each other. Fifth street carried more north bound traffic than any other street in Philadelphia with the exception of Broad street and one of the busiest trolley lines of the city operated thereon, The swelling tide of bridge traffic made necessary a rather extreme when we expedient in the summer of were compelled to ask the police authorities of Philadelphia to divert all vehicular travel, with the exception of trolley cars, from Fifth street on Sunday nights. There was some complaint on the part of motorists that they should be compelled to detour but we found it impossible to keep traffic moving on the bridge unless the cross travel were banished.

Even 50 the necessary stoppages caused by the trolley cars which could not. be rerouted seriously hampered passage over the bridge at the busiest It was evident that a grade separation must be constructed and the 1924 plan? was again takeh up for investigation. The joint commission not have evallable the $2,000,000 or 000 which the long underpass was esI timated to cost and therefore a numher of Interviews were Had with of the of Philadelphia regarding the possibility of municipal construction of the tunnel It was found that the city was in no position to spend the necessary The alternative then, building an underpass from Race to Vine streets which would accommodate both trolley and vehicular travel on Fifth street and would remove the necessity of stopping the bridge traffle at any time. This underpass WAR designed by our engineers and the Joint. commission awarded the contract POLICE KILL 2 HINDUS IN FIERCE INDIA RIOT Great Crowd Threatens to Storm Karachi Jail at Salt: Makers' Trial United Press Karachi, India, disobedience, carried like.

a firebrand from coast to coast in' India, blazed anew here today. Two Hindus' already had lost their lives by violence here. A tremendous mob, gathered outside the jail, became a surging sea of defiance when it was announced that six illegal salt makers had been sentenced to prison terms at hard labor. Wild scenes of disorder followed, with the police finally quelling the disturbance. The six men senteuced were all followers of Mahatma Gandhi's passive resistance movement designed to adolisb British rule.

The defendants were tried in the jail, because the mob yesterday stormed the courthouse and drew rifle fire from police. Seventeen police and 41 members of the throng fell in yesterday's riots, and one of the natives, Dattaram. Konde, was killed. Konde. was cremated at sunset, thousands gathering around his pyre.

Today, 18-year-old Maharaj Reqachatd, another of those wounded by police bullets, died. His body was carried through the streets at noon, followed by a long procession of mourners. Gandhi Regrets Violence; Says Freedom Must Be Won Bombay, April struggle against British rule which he launched by his illegal salt manufacture 11 days ago must continue unchecked, Mabatma Gandhi said today. The apostle of passive resistance and non-violence made his statement after being informed that 80 persons had been injured in riots in Calcutta and 56 injured and two killed in Karachi. One of his sons, Ram Das, was serving prison term at Surat for making salt, and another, Davi Das Gandhi, was sentenced today at Delhi.

Gandhi admitted that the violence shown at Calcutta and Karachi was harming his movement. On the other hand he referred to alleged "atrocities" committed the Gujerat province against defenseless possessors of illicit salt and charged the government with provoking trouble. Navy Pact Drawn; Japs Threaten Delay (Continued from Page One) treaty, that power will notify the others of the amount and kind of building it requires. "Thereupon the two other po' ers shall be entitled to make proportionate increase in the same category or categories." Senator Defends Clause Senator Robinson further pointed out that such limitations of armaments is voluntary process, it is "wise, in principle," to enter into this arrangement, to avoid the responsibility of insisting that any other nation must have its hands tied in a possible emergency. Continuing, his statement reads: "While it is to be hoped that no situation will arise under which any of the three powers may find it necessary to increase its tonnage in auxiliary vessels, prudence calls fo- 8 provision in such a contingency.

"If a real emergency should arise, I should want the United States to be free to act without the consent of others, and of course, we must concede the same right to them. It is desirable that those who limit their means of defense should feel safe in that limitation. Otherwise, they will not continue the process of limitation." Treaty Likely to Go To Senate by May 1 Washington, April action by Senate will be sought on the London Naval Treaty it was indicated today following 8 White House conference between President Hoover and Senate leaders. It is likely the treaty will be sent to the Senate by May 1. Whether the treaty will be submitted to the Senate Foreign Relations committee or to the Naval Affairs Committee appeared to be in doubt.

President Hoover, it is indicated, desires the pact to go before the Foreign Relations Committee. Senator Hale, of Maine, chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee, declared he would demand that the treaty be submitted first to his Before that committee naval experts would be summoned to explain why the American delegation agreed to slash the number of cruisers to but 18, and agreed to build smaller cruisers, which it has been repeatedly stated this country can not use to advantage. Those attending the conference were Senator Watson, of Indiana, Republican leader of the Senate; Senator Borah, of Idaho, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee; Senator Hale, of Maine, chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee, and Acting Secretary of State Cotton. While Senator Borah declined to commit himself definitely one way or the other, he stated that he was disposed to regard any -treaty that tended to reduce armament with sympathy.

SHIP BOARD'S LUMP SUM PAYMENT HELD ILLEGAL Washington, April U. S. Shipping Board's proposed plan to pay operators of goyernment-owned ships a lump sum was held illegal by Comptroller General McCarl, according to a ruling given out today by Representative LaGuardia, Republican, of New York.

Bankers Sue Corio For Overdue Notes (Continued from Page One) county grand jury in connection with the murder Jerry Daniels, alias "Jerry the Greek." slain two years ago in his Corn Exchange Cafe.

Secrecy Shrouds Action Secrecy, however, shielded the indictment, but a statement from Prosecutor Repetto definitely established that neither Samuel "Cappy" Hoffman, erstwhile "King of the Underworld." nor Michael Curcio, alias "'Doc had been indicted for the slaying. Freely admitting one indict-: ment had been returned, Repetto said "If the person indicted was under custody we would be free to reveal the Both Hoffman, serving a 12-year sentence violation narcotic act, and Cutch, big time gambler and sporting are each under $20.000 bail: as material witnesses in connection with the two-year-old mystery killing of Daniels. One of the witnesses questioned today was Betty Bacon, the "mystery girl," who was arrested and held in $5000 bail as a material witness last week. Richard Black, former special police investigator, was not seen to enter the jury room. He charged some time ago that Inspector Malseed and Captain Feretti, of the Detective Bureau, split $20.000 to "cover up" the slayers of Daniels, in behalf of some "higher-up." Testifies Another witness who testified WaS Frank Harrold, chief of county detectives, who is under suspension at his own request.

He headed the probe into the slaying two years ago. While grand jury was delving into the Daniels case, eight men were under arrest here and two in Philadelphia, and eight others still were being sought, as members of the Atlantic Highlands liquor syndicate. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce, instigators of the vice crusade, considerable consideration was given to the progress of the inquiry. On behalf of the directors. W.

A fifth defendant, Lester Hines, a "Axer," turned state's evidence and testified against the ring. Two other men are to be tried later.

This underpass will be in operation next month within contract time. I know of no way in which such great relief from traffic congestion could be obtained by the expenditure of such a comparatively small sum. This underpass does not interfere in any way with the operation of high speed trains over the bridge. At a cost of considerably less than $100,000 the track spaces on the south side of the bridge can be connected with a be built by the city of Philadelphia. The commission can track spaces by swinging off from the bridge at a point 144 feet west of the' centre line of Fourth street, Philadelphia, in a curve with an inside radius of 207 feet into the portal of a subway which would start in the yard of the public school at the corner of Fifth and Race streets.

Our plan then calls for a straight line of 63 feet followed by a curve with a radius of 207 feet which would carry the subway into Race street. It is possible to operate high speed trains upon a curve with a radius of 200 feet. To Use Span Land The connection from the subway portal to the present track space west of Fourth Street would be built entirely over property owned by the Joint Commission to the south of the bridge. This would necessitate the closing of the present thoroughfare leading to the bridge on the south side but this closing would be welcomed from the view point of operating traffic as it is rather dificult to get vehicles around the pylon and on to the bridge without interfering with the main stream of traffic entering from the plaza. The question of clearances for the subway has been worked out with care.

It would be possible to build the subway connection with a clearance at Fifth and Race streets of more than 14 feet without interfering with the grade of the present underpass. This would be sufficient clearance, I am informed by engineers of the Department of Transit of the City of adelphia, to take care of the subway cars now in use. The grade proposed would be 5 per cent which is exactly the same as the grade adopted in the original design for high speed lines on the bridge. This grade is not prohibitive for high speed operation. It is my suggestion that the financial responsibility of the Joint Commission would be limited to the building of the link between our present track spaces and the subway portal.

With the most liberal estimate for labor and materials I believe that this could be built for less than $100,000. The Department of. Transit of Philadelphia has been studying, for several years, the problem of connecting the subway in Eighth street with the bridge. Director Myers and his associates in the Department have gone into the matter in detail. I believe the Department of City Transit would look with favor upon the extension of the Eighth street subway to the bridge by the construction of a subway link in Race street at an estimated cost of nearly $3,000,000.

Link to West Phila. The Eighth street subway is part of what is known as the Ridge avenue of the Broad street subway and is now under construction on Eighth street from Market street north to Race a street and on Ridge avenue from Race street to Fairmount avenue, the Broad street subway, opwhere a connection is to be utade with eration. The plans of the Transit DeI partment call the extension of the line from Eighth street into Locust or Walnut street and thence to West Philadelphia. The portions of the subway now under construction would. when completed and if rails were laid upon the bridge, permit the delivery of passengers from Camden at Eighth and Market streets, Philadelphia.

Later, as referred to above, passengers will be carried to West Philadelphia. No hope can be held out of connecting the bridge and the Frankford elevated and the Market street subway. Although on paper this connection seems desirable, the practical difficulties in the way are apparently insurmountable. Officials of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company have, within the last week, reaffirmed their previous declaration that the Market street subway is now carrying its capacity at rush hours. A suggestion was made that the Market street trains now running to the Chestnut and South street ferries be discontinued and that this service be extended over the bridge to Camden.

We were informed authoritatively within the last week that the demands from Frankford for' increased service on the Frankford elevated would not permit a permanent operation to Cammen and that even if the Public Service Commission were to approve abandonment of the service to the ferries the requirements of Frankford are such that service to Camden could not be given for more than two or three years. The cost of connecting the bridge and the Frankford' elevated is given at $1,000,000. It would, of course, be impossible to. expend $1,000,000 for two or three years' service, Such a link will not be built by either the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company or the Department of City Transit and in utterly beyond the resources of the Joint commission. Money Ready The Joint Commission' is financially able now to meet the expenses of layins rails upon the bridge.

Pennsylvania and the City of Philadelphia, towards construction of the bridge sufficient balance to defray one-half the cost of the rails puls the connection proposed above to the subway in Race street. The Legislature of the State of New Jersey passed, at the present session, a bill which apropriates for the laying of rails a sum of $375,000 to be taken out of the operating receipts of the bridge. In Philadelphia the way seems clear for the building of the connection to the Eighth Street subway and there is nothing to hinder the project so far as it relates to the Delaware River Bridge itself. The third part of the problem which is afforded by the Camden terminus deserves careful consideration. A proposal has been made that subway be built in Fifth street, Camden, from the Delaware River Bridge to a proposed bus terminal at Fifth and Federal streets and thence to the Broadway station of the Pennsylvania Railroad with either a subway or elevated line to the ferry house of the Reading te Railroad.

I have not yet seen an estimate of the cost of this proposed construction or any plan for the financing thereof but this, of course, a matter entirely within the province of the City of Camden and does not fall within this general survey. There is however, a temporary measure which might be considered and which I submit is both economical and practical. The high speed lines on the bridge would come to grade at the Camden end of the bridge at Fourth street. At the present time one of the track spaces is carried Fourth street while the outer track space is suspended in air at Third street. It would be possible to carry this outer section to Fourth street paralleling the inner section and then "stub-end" the line on the surface the space now belonging to the Joint Commission and which is at present used as a street on the south side the bridge.

Title to this property rests with the commission and the street has never been dedicated. A station could be built at comparatively little expense using the umbrella type now adopted in many railway terminals. The trains would be brought to a stop on the street level receiving and discharging their sengers on the same side. Expenses of constructing this "stub-end" would be within the limits of the money available for track facilities on the bridge. Suggests Bus Terminal' It is possible that consideration might be given to the building of bus terminal beside the station.

The Joint Commission owns the larger part of 'the triangle bounded on the north by the street to be used for the high speed station, on the south by Linden street the east by Fifth street and on the west by Fourth I street. There are at present on this plot. seven houses which cover an area of 130 feet by 100 feet and which are assessed for a total of $39,100. Undoubtedly these could be acquired reasonably by the City of Camden. It would be possible to construct a bus terminal of adequate size upon the triangle with a direct connection to the high speed station in the street.

The "stub-ending" of high speed transit lines is common practice. The Market street subway trains are stubended at the eastern terminus as are those of the Broad street subway at the southern end. The usual crossover trackage could be provided at the station between Fourth and Fifth streets. Under this plan both east and westbound trains would use the track seetions available on the south side of the bridge, leaving the track sections on the north side free for such use as the needs of the bridge would later indicate. I would like to make plain the thought that stopping the trains at Fifth and Linden streets is not intended to be permanent but is suggested as a measure of affording the promptest relief and this station could be built by the joint commission out of funds now available while plans for a subway and elevated line are being given consideration by the city of Camden.

The plans submitted with this study are to be regarded as general in character and no attempt has been made to go into detail. They are intended to show, however, that a simple and practical method of affording high speed transit on rails across the bridge is available. SUBWAY LOOP COST PUT AT $12,077,000 A West Philadelphia subway loop between the Market street subway and the proposed Locust street-Woodland avenue tube would cost about 000, Philadelphia's city council was informed yesterday by Director of Transit Myers.
