A tunnel Is out of the question," This was tho answer today of Thomas J. S. Barlow, of Moorestown, N. J a member of tho Joint Dolawaro Bridge Commission, to circulars bolng distri buted to residents of Moorestown and vicinity opposing n bridge and favoring n tunnel. Tho circulars are signed ' Taxpayers' League.' Mr. Barlow said he did not know who was sending out the circulars. "But you can say this much, thnt we want a bridge. Wo have gone on record for a bridge and we are strictly opposed to a tunnel." In answer to statements In tho cir culars that "North Jersey has a tunnel plan, why not South Jersey?" Mr. Bar low said : Commission Favors Bridge "The only reason why a tunnel is to be built in North Jersey, botween Jer sey City nnd New York, under the Hud son river, is because they found it Im possible to build a bridge. The people up there wanted n bridge, but when they found it would cost $100,000,000 to build the bridge they abandoned It " Work on the North Jersey tfinncl Mr. Barlow nid, Is to start October 12 It will he the largest traffic tunnel in the world. The work of tunneling will be started slmtilatneously from thn Jer sey City nnd New York ends. "As far ns the members of the Del aware Bridge Commission are concern ed, they nre unanimously In favor of a bridge," said Mr. Barlow. "A bridge will accommodate 48 per cent more traf fic than a tunnel. During the war auto traffic had to use a brldgo at Trenton in order to reach South Jersey. A bridge between Philadelphia nnd Cam den will end this inconvenience to everybody's satisfaction. Even If we wanted a tunnel, a new bill would have to be passed, nnd this would mean more delay. And I am sure the peo plo of South Jersey would never voto tor a tunnel."

"North Jersey has n tunnel plan. Why has not Sontli Jersey? Did the commission ever ask for an expression of opinion as to whether the people wanted a bridge or tunnel? They went ahead in n slipshod manner, changing membership ob the political changes took place. "Do j ou know the present bridge plans do not even provide for an Inter state ttolley? A trolley Is planned for but Is this to be a purely bridge trolley? Where Is It to begin? Where Is It going to help tho man who gcU to Philadel phia daily if it does not even carry him to tho railroad terminal in Camden, which It will not do? "What you want ia n trolley Bystem across tho bridge that will take you to vour town. Tho brideo nlans do tint make this n surety. Do you not want to get on your train In Philadelphia and go to your homo without n change of cars? Will you vote to boost your taxes for all the rest of your life to accom modate the ntitomoblllsts that go to the shore once a week or will you vote to spend the money for something that will mean much to you every day nnd which will make your property jump in value? "If you want to vote for your own Interest, vote against tho bridge bond issue. If you nro an automobile owner; a tunnel will take you across the river as It Is planned to take automoblllsts in north Jersey. There is not an advantage In n bridge that a tunnel has not nnd tho tunnel, besides, will carry your train to the heart of Philadelphia. That will double the vnluo of property within twenty-livo miles ot Philadelphia. A bridge will not benefit even tho farmers, for they will be mado to pay higher tolls than they pay on tho ferries."

IREPORTI SWINEY IS FED SECRETLY Radical Irish Group Smuggles Lifo-Suataining Drugs to Captivo, It Is Said POLITICAL PLOT SUSPECTED Special callo ditpatch from Carl IF. Ackerman reprinted front lo Aau' Publlo Ledger. Copyright, J 080, bv Publlo Ledger Co. London, Sept. 0. Ti Is1 not possible nor Is it necessary to disclose my sources of Information, mit I am able nnw to cable the inside atory. of Lord Mayor MacSwiney's hunger strike. At the very beginning It mav 1a stated mo9t emphatically that If Cork's chief mag istrate, who at the time of writing has fasted 052 hours, dies it will be an ac cident. Neither the British Govern ment, tho British officials in Ireland nor the Hlnn Fein moderate leaders want him to die. Tho secret fact atiout the lord mavor's case Is that thn Tirtn.i, n . ernment and the 8inn Fein leaders aro playing a game of chess with his life, and each thinks that It will be able to cnecKmaie mo outer Derore 6e dies. The British Government hltA. (.. Mayor MacSwIney is tho pawn of Sinn tern pontics, um me moderates do not wish and do not Intend to have him die that they will Interfere hefnm t, in comes dangerously ill and the govern ment also thinks that the MacSwIney case will test tho strength between the Htnn rein numerates, ieu by Arthur Griffiths nnd the Catholic bishops, against 'Michael Collins and tho ex trcmlsls. Playing Waiting Gome The Sinn Fein, on the other hand, sees the caso of tho lord mayor becom ing a political issue in Great Britain, the British Empire and in world affairs, and those Sinn Fein leaders are of the oninlon that' if MacSwIney holds out long enough, world opinion will compel the uritisn caninei to release aim. Meanwhile MacSwIney languishes in Brixton prison, nourished by food tab lets smuggled Into him and sustained by the drugs administered by the prison physician. I learn on excellent authority that MarSwiney should bo able to survive at leaM ten oays more unacr me present conditions, unless his heart elves way under the strain, uotn the government nnd the Sinn rein, however, nre watch -W this delicate organ while thev con tinue their political maneuvers. Great pressure is being brought to bear upon the government to release him, nnd gov ernment officials here are not certain, from day to day, what the exact atti tude of the. Eovcrnment is. While the government bus declared repeatedly that be will not he released, tew persons dc lievc the government will persist to the bitter end. Tho government Is In n delicate position, however. While the hlcbest officials would like to release MneSwiney. because of the effect of such notion upon world opinion, they feel they cannot do so without having such action interpreted in Ireland as a sign of wenkness on behnlf of the British cabinet. As is so often the case with Irish questions, whnt Is good for Ire land Is misinterpreted abroad and what is satisfactory abroad ia misconstrued in Ireland. Effect on Police Feared From the standpoint of the British governing power in Ireland, the release of the lord mayor is certain to hare n serious reaction upon the police forces and tho army because those bodies be lieve that MacSwIney, us chief of the Cork brigade of Irish republican vol unteers, is directly and personally re sponsible for nil of the assassinations in the south of Ireland, They consider him tho murderer of noliccmcn and officers nnd they believe he is guilty, ns the chief Sinn Fein official in Cork, of the burning of government buildings. The Sinn rein, "i the other hand, maintains that the Irish republic is tho renl government of Ireland and that all o,f the British forces are there contrary to the will of the Irlh people Tho Sinn Fein malntnln that the British officials aro enemies of Ireland, and as enemies it is just nnd right for tho Irish volunteers to kill them. That nosition of the Sinn Fein has been very forcefully expounded by the editor of the Catholic Herald, who recently herved six montns for maintaining that the killing of British officials in lielnnd was not murder. The Sinn Fein naturally does not acknowledge that MneSwiney is responsihle tor thoso acts, u there Is any responsibility it rests upon tho Irish' government and not upon Indi viduals, in their viewpoint, chess.
