LEDGER-PHILPEtPHlA
ALL SOUTH JERSEY SOLID
FOR BRIDGE, SAYS BARSTOW
Commissioner Refutes Claims of Unknown Circulators of
Propaganda Which Favors Tunnel Instead
"South Jersey, nlmosl to n man, Is
for a bridge between Philadelphia and
Camden, and not a tunnel. 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."

The circulars favoring n tunnel and
urging taxpayers in South Jersey to
vote against tho proposed direct tax
to help defray tho cost of n bridge read
as follows:
Urge Support of Tunnel
"What good will a brldgo do you who
go to Philadelphia and back every day
lo your work) You will use the train
to the ferry and then take the boats
across the river as you do now, nnd tho
ferry eervlco will not bo ao good as it
now Is.
"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."
ROOSEVELT SPEAKS
TO NAVY YARD MEN
Pays Tribute to Lafayette in
Accepting Gift of Lov
ing Cup
New York. Sept. 0. (By A. P.)
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic vice
presidential candidate, today placed a
wreath on the statue of Lafayette in
Prospect Park, Brooklyn, during the
Labor Day celebration nnd later was
presented with a silver 'loving cun by
the 13.000 employes of the New York
Xavy Yard in appreciation of his serv
ices as assistant secretary of the navy.
Just after placing the wreath on
Lafayette's statuo he made a speech in
which he said:
"The reason for tho permanency
from one generation to the other of our
admiration for this grent man is be
cause in the hearts of every liberty
loving Americnn n man who gives his
best for liberty is never forgotten. This
day is. peculiarly of all days in the
year, the day to express anew our ad
miration for one of the foremost charo
nious of liberty that France ever raised,
because today is also Labor Day. the
day when American labor celebrates the
throwing off of its medieval shackles of
the past, and proudly celebrates her In
dependence in this new country of ours,
and it is also the anniversary of the
first battle of the Marne. where France,
unterrltied. threw back the army of des
potism and found herself thrice armed
I ( . , , - .
I because her quarrel was just surely
' worthy anniversaries foMiberty-
lovlnc Americana to celebrate.
After receiving the levins cun from
employes of the New York Navy Yard,

Special callo ditpatch from Carl

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.
