A Held of Icebergs In the North Atlantic bears a gravo nienaco to steamships plying between Europe and tho
Western Hemisphere. Two freighters, tho Seapool, a British vessel, and the Chariot, a Shipping Board vessel
from Philadelphia for London and Hamburg, have been damaged by ramming Icebergs. Ships have been warned
to change their routes In order to avoid the peril. The above map shows tho ice field, tho usual steamship routo
and the route recommended by tho Naval llydrographlc Service
the Camden sido near our natural out
lils to such suburbs as Hnddonfield an 1
Moorestown. As I had tie wed thn
matter, a delivery terminus at Sixth nirl
.Market streets would have been btst.
However, the terminus of the bridge
as recommended by the Hoard of Engi
neers is nt Sixth and Penn stretiii,
which is oiilv two siiuarcs uw ly. The
site recommended might not be so bad,
therefore. I am expressing merely my
personal viws, and in t speaking iw
president of Camden Council. '
i:. (t. C. lllcnkley. Cumdeu Cit;. So
lieitoi, siiul lie would not set his judg
ment against that of the engineers.
"The members of the Hoard of Knei-
! neers are well qualified men, who have
I gUeii the matter much study," mid
; Mr. Hleokley. "I would not venture
I to set my private opinion against their
weighed and measured judgment. They
I have given careful tudy to each of the
i sites suggested and have considered
what would prot mnt heneficinl to
both Camden and Philadelphia. I be
lieve tills fact ought to set aside my
personal judgment. It isn't possible to
please everybody ."
K. K. Hennett, president of the Com
den Chamber of Commerce, has named
Henry 11. Murray chairman of n com
mittee to digest the leport of the
engineers and present It to the chamber,
"I do not care to commit myself or
the ihamber, pending receipt of the
committee's report." said Mr. Dennett,
"I know of no objections to the site
proposed. What we want in Camden is
a bridge that will best take core of the
traffic. 1 am not in a position to say
whether or not the site recommended
will do thi. Until I can form some
opinion I shall not be in a position
to commeut on the report of the engin
eers." Mr. Hennett explained that the
Chamber of Commerce Is strongly for
n bridge, but has not committed itself
to n site.
The same need of "taking care of the
traffic" was voiced by C. A. Munger,
a leading business man of Camden.
"From a cursory review of the report
the site suggested seems as good as any.
A good many suggestions are being
made for selfish ends, uud therefore we
have been cautious about recommend
ing any site. We want u bridge that
will handle the traffic expeditiously,
particularly something that will ex
pedite the hiavy traffic to seashore
points."
Property Value Hlsc Seen
K, F. Moore, president of Henry
Ilolnicr & Co., wholesale grocers. Fifth
and Hace streets, said: "The Philadelphia-Camden
bridge is a wonderful
project. Undoubtedly property values
will rise. One of the good things it
will accomplish will be the elimination
of the so-called Tenderloin. The bridge
will nl-o wipe out many of the old
buildings which are eyesores in this
neighborhood. If we are in tlie line
of progress we will simply have to
moe."
The Franklin Square-Pearl street
line, as the recommended locations nre

According to Prosecutor Stanton's

Mrs. Knber Bald "two foreigners did

"The mnn tvlUi tho cap" was ar

Mrs. Knber's confession, sat nt Kaber's

by police.
Mrs. Kaber's confession declares, ac
cording to Prosecutor Stanton's infor

according to n statement which the
New York Evening World today says
Chief of Police Christcnsen, of Lake

The newspaper quotes Chief Christcn

sulted a woman medium for advice as
to how to change her husband's atti

manner after an illness was said to have
occasioned the visit.

Chief Christcnsen snid Mrs. Kaber had
declared that sho had refused to pay
the two foreigners when they reappeared
after (he funeral, nsscrting they had
not fulfil led tho role of ghosts as she
ban Intended nnd thnt she would not
luvohe herself by paying for murder.
Mis. Knber then was said to have
fled to New York to escape the
foreigners without uchisins the Cleve

Captain Arthur Carey, head of the
Homicide Hurenu. characterized stories
concerning an alleged consultation with

Thomas McArdle, former husband of

"If Mrs. Knbcr had nny desire to

plan?" naked Mr. Cavcn.
Knew What They Wcro Doing
"As for the sympathy that is voiced
for the contractors, the answer Is, that
every one of these gentlemen knew just
whnt he was doing when he took Ills
contract this year. It was with the
understanding thnt the city was em
powered to step in and tnke tho work
off his hnnds.
Then the Director pointed to the fol
'owing In the contractor's contracts :
The llddcrs agree that nny con
tract atoardetl to them may be term
inated on October 1, 1021, t( they
are given three month)' notice by
the Director that tho city destrcs to
exercise such option, and that they
wiiJ accept as full payment jot all
claims against the city ninc-ttcclfths
of the price bid in this proposal.
"I think this effectually disposes of
nil talk about legal proceedings against
he city. Such talk is mere camou
flage. .
It Is claimed thnt they will suffer
loss. Well, didn't they figure on thnt
when they took the contract this year
And is not tho city losing money every
day this contract system continues. And
what of the new charter? Arc we to
obey it or not?
"We are going nhend with this work,
at the time specified, nnd if we do not.
then tho public will know, nnd will be
told, nil the inside facts of tho attempts
to obstruct the Administration in its
undertaking to fulfill the mandates of
the new City Charter," said Director
Cavcn in conclusion.
Opinion of Clfy Solicitor
Terhnps the most conclusive answer
to tho fry of legal reprisal by the. con
tractors is the opinion of City Solicitor
Smyth ou the subject. .Mr. Smyth
says:
"The primary purpose of the char
ter provision was clearly to authorize
the citv to enter into contracts for
more than one year, nnd to qualify
the other provisions of the charter
with reference to appropriations, so
that should n contract be let for more
than one year only enough need bo
appropriated to carry it through the
first vcar, and so on from year to
venr, and not an appropriation largo
enough to cover the entire term of
the contract.
"In my opinion this wns not in
tended to, nnd docs not, prohibit the
city from entering Into n contract for
supplies, work or material for a less
period thnn ono year, and, therefore,
It docs not affect or in nny way for
bid a contract for ono yenr with tho
privilege of termination reserved to
the city nt any stated time before the
expiration of such year.'

are satisfied Obregon hns not refused to
sign. On tlie contrary, he expects to
sign nfter a few Lntin mnneuvcrs. The
obstacles are not insuperable.
Allow a little lor the difficulties of
the Mexican President. He cannot
appear to y ichl right off to the big
country to the North, He must show
them something. He must bo stiff. He
must have a diplomatic victory, some
thing to prove that he is a splendid up
holder of Mexico's dignity. Mr. Hughes
must bo fori i'd to amend his pioposals
in certain respects.
Wants Recognition First
And presumably Mr. Hughes is n
good diplomat to leave a margin for
amendment, for yielding on tlie part of
the United States in order to save tlie,
face of Mr. Obregon. T
Ono point the Mexican President isJ
going to make, apparently, is that this'
country should recognize him first, be- j
fore asking him to sign n treaty. Mr. '
Hughes proposes recognition in the act
of signing the treaty.
Virtually, from the Amerlcnn stand
point, the issue is one of tweedledum
or tweedlee. Our State Department
makes it perfectly plain that recognition
is not the question nt Issue. The reu1
quest. nn is whether Mexico reeogiiizi
that prim iple of international law w I . U
guarantees the inviolability of proper!
of other nationals.
That is the American side of t,
enso. The Mexican utile is different
Recognition bulks pretty large in tic
Mexican consciousness. Tlie cmintiy
has been unrecognized for a long time.
So great is the demand for recogni
tion thut when It wns announced h
Mexico City that Obregon had refuod
Hughes' proposal, the Mexican press
rose in revolt nnd demanded to be shown
, liv XTnvirn ii'nntH n ilrnnmllc n ef
iciognltinn, not one of these It bsalU I
fallows from the signing of this trnt '
that you arc recognized.
Clianre, for Roth Sides fo Win !
Here Is n chance for n diplomat!
victory for Obregon, flattering to the
national consciousness. Mr. Hughes,
perhaps, can well afford to let him have
it, first reaching an understanding with
him that recognition will cause signing
of the treaty.
Onco Mr. Obregon sustnlns some con
cession that he can show his fellow
countrymen, his constitutional objec
tions may prove minor and inconsider
