Long before the funeral procession I left the Carroll home in Union street a crowd had collected. It increased and the police kept the street open for traffic.

News that other negroes were be- ing imported to take the place pf those that had left town seemed to infuriate the crowd more than any other circumstance and these re- ports were constantly being discuss- ed. Tuesday night there was no dis- turbance and no crowds on the streoU. The saloons and speakeasies were closed and there was no evi- dence of drinking. Out of town newspapers had broadcast rumors of a big demonstra- tion- against thecolored population on Wednesday night following the funeral of the murder victim. This proved to be another false alarm. The streeU on Wednesday night and last night were as quiet aa in normal times. In yesterday morning's mail a let- ter supposed to have been written by aome local person waa received by Mrs. Carroll. It denounced the Irish in general and pugilists in particu- lar, It had been mailed in New York and was unsigned. It was turned ovur to th<r police. Reports were in circulation yester- day and lust night that the negroei in the camp at the Lieblg plant were armed and that machine guns were also located in the plant. This wag denied by the superintendent but few zation last night completed arrange-1 ments for a big benefit boll for the widow and family of the late Johnny Carroll who was murdered by ane- gro last Saturday night. The ball will be .held in Dalton's auditorium on Saturday night, May 8. The en- tire proceeds will be given to the stricken family. Mrs, William Dutf is chairman of the committee in charge of the ar- rangements. Others on the commit- tee are: Mrs. John Adams, Mrs. Wm. Coughlin, Mrs. Edward J. Lloyd, Mia, CharleB Morris, Joseph A.

The tourists left for Carteret Wednesday morning. Throughout the trip they enjoyed delightful weather. Every one of the party was in K»"d health.

Today John "Gimp" Dolan receiv- ed a letter mailed from Harlem sec- tion of New York, a negro district. It waa illustrated with a pencil draw- ing that at first suggested a butch- el's advertisement. It was threaten, ing in nature but many regard it as a joke. Like the letter received by Mrs, Carrol] it was unsigned. The letter to the stricken woman was written ina big sprawling hand and covered five pages, the penmanship evidently being an effort to disguise the ordinary writing of the sender. The letter received by Dolan was in imitation of printed type. The police worked double shifts and on every hand they were com- plimented for their good judgment and discretion. They broke up every gathering- but they kept the crowd in good humor and in this way prevent- ed the situation f>om becoming more serious.

Ellsworth Baker is chairman of the committee om men that will be in charge of the meeting and that will serve refreshments. John Carroll, aged 25, of 78 Union street, was subbed to death Sunday morning at ten minutes to one, a few .yards from his Union street home. Robert Ducrent, a ne- gro also known as "Bar! Fyr", who killed Carroll and dangerously wounded Ralph Johnson, was arrest ed aa he was fleeing from thq bor- ough through the Boulevard section. The murder of Carroll touched off the pent up feelings against the nc groes that has been accumulating for years, and thelong predicted race •riot resulted. The attack on Carroll, Johnson nnd "Chick" Donnelly occurred near the corner of Hudson and Union streets. Carroll was found lying partly on the sidewalk and partly onndrive, way leading into the yard of Cheap John's store at that corner. After stabbing Carroll the negro tinned on Johnson and slashed him in the ab- domen. Donnelly is said to have re- ceived a slight cut or scratch across the face. Johnson though seriously injured was able to go to the head of Hudson itreet to a lunch cart where. he fell from loss of blood after giv- ing the alarm. Three policemen responded. The negro encaped for a time by dodg- ing into a building and out again. The night was foggy and wet and it was difficult to see. Sergeant Andres met a youth named Symborski who had just arrived in Carteret »n the fast line trolley. The youth learned that the police were booking for a negro and after asking for a de- scription of him said that he had seen a negro answering that descrip- tion running toward the Boulevard. Andrea borrowed an auto and rushed to the Boulevard where he captured the negro. Ducreast was out of breath from running. At the time he ran from the scene of the mur- der one of the officers fired but the negro kept going. In the meantime Johnson was taken to the Perth Amboy hospital. When the negro wag taken to the hospital.Johnson identified him, Carroll was one of the most popu "JOHNNY" CARROLL.

His clean sports- manlike manner of boxing and his skill; his generouaity and his per- Ronality all combined to win for him a legion of friends in this borough and in neighboring towns. News of the murder spread rapid- ly after it was known that Carroll was the victim, At the time Ducreast was locked up it waa not known that Carroll was the victim or the negro might never have reached the police station alive.

Two negroes that wanted to visitsome negro homes were given policeprotection and while the crowd wa»threatening there was no outbreak.

News that other negroes were be-ing imported to take the place pfthose that had left town seemed toinfuriate the crowd more than anyother circumstance and these re-ports were constantly being discuss-ed.

Tuesday night there was no dis-turbance and no crowds on thestreoU. The saloons and speakeasieswere closed and there was no evi-dence of drinking.

Out of town newspapers hadbroadcast rumors of a big demonstra-tion- against the colored populationon Wednesday night following thefuneral of the murder victim. Thisproved to be another false alarm.The streeU on Wednesday night andlast night were as quiet aa in normaltimes.

In yesterday morning's mail a let-ter supposed to have been written byaome local person waa received byMrs. Carroll. It denounced the Irishin general and pugilists in particu-lar, It had been mailed in New Yorkand was unsigned. It was turnedovur to th<r police.

John Carroll, aged 25, of 78Union street, was subbed to deathSunday morning at ten minutes toone, a few .yards from his Unionstreet home. Robert Ducrent, a ne-gro also known as "Bar! Fyr", whokilled Carroll and dangerouslywounded Ralph Johnson, was arrested aa he was fleeing from thq bor-ough through the Boulevard section.The murder of Carroll touched offthe pent up feelings against the ncgroes that has been accumulating foryears, and the long predicted race•riot resulted.

The attack on Carroll, Johnson nnd"Chick" Donnelly occurred near thecorner of Hudson and Union streets.Carroll was found lying partly onthe sidewalk and partly on n drive,way leading into the yard of CheapJohn's store at that corner. Afterstabbing Carroll the negro tinned onJohnson and slashed him in the ab-domen. Donnelly is said to have re-ceived a slight cut or scratch acrossthe face. Johnson though seriouslyinjured was able to go to the head ofHudson itreet to a lunch cart where.he fell from loss of blood after giv-ing the alarm.

Three policemen responded. Thenegro encaped for a time by dodg-ing into a building and out again.The night was foggy and wet and itwas difficult to see. Sergeant Andresmet a youth named Symborski whohad just arrived in Carteret »n thefast line trolley. The youth learnedthat the police were booking for anegro and after asking for a de-scription of him said that he hadseen a negro answering that descrip-tion running toward the Boulevard.Andrea borrowed an auto and rushedto the Boulevard where he capturedthe negro. Ducreast was out ofbreath from running. At the timehe ran from the scene of the mur-der one of the officers fired but thenegro kept going.

In the meantime Johnson wastaken to the Perth Amboy hospital.

THE WEEK IN CARTERET

Tlu> mission of editorial comment is to inffuence pjjblicopinion Moba and rioting come when public opinion is on fireand care must be exercised not to add to .the flame. The morelurid feature* of the trouble iy Carteret this week were pure-ly the product of imaginative New York newspapermen, es-pecially those connected with the tabloids. Not at any timewas there a serious situation such as develops in real raceriots. The police handled the situation witH credit and theydeserve unstinted praise.

No one with sense can sanction lawlessness, But it isnot amiss to consider the things that lead ap to the trouble—the causes. In Carteret the trouble has been brewing for manya day and the outcome should be a lesson to be heeded in thefuture.

The murder of Johnny Carroll was the match that ig-nited the powder but the powder was there before hand. Trou-ble of the kind that came has been .predicted^ Warnings havebeen ignored. Now that Carteret and Carteret officialdom facesthe facts there should be preventative action.

The plants have been blamed for importing the negrolaborers because they work for lower pay than the whites.But the imported laborers include many who were dangerousand troublesome and these "got away" with too much.

The man who killed the popular young Union street boxerwas known to the police as a trouble maker. A month ago heattempted to stab a man in a pool room. Another negro knock-ed a policeman flat on the street. Two policemen who arresteda cotfple of objectionable colored women, were unable to secureconviction on account of a technicality, a negro attacked awhite foreman with a knife a week ago and cut his leathercoat; another negro bit an officer on the hand and when hewas beaten into submission by the injured officer a letter ofprotest was "sent to the chief of police, because one of hispatrolmen had been "CRUEL" to a colored man.

The police are amply able to handle the situation if theyare backed up. The policy of considering how a man votes be-fore he is judged has been blamed for what happened and thatin part it true. Influence used to get one man out of troublemay get a whole town into it. Another remedy might comethrough the Board of Health. It is common knowledge thatmuch of the colored population lives in unsanitary conditions.The health officer hai done his best but has had little sup-port. The kind of colored man who will live like an animal isalso very likely to be as dangerous as a wild animal.

Cartewt has had much undesirable publicity in the lastfew days. One tabloid paper upon finding no riot tried tostage a mob scene for a flashlight picture. The police broke itup and it may be that some of the papers retaliated, makingmat teis appear much worse than they really were. Practical-ly all of the New York papers gave the impression that the"mobv stormed the church and burned it immediately. Thechurch did not catch fire until about four hours after the ser-vices were broken up and no real evidence has been found asto how the fire started. But the outside work, does not knowthat.

Such publicity hurts a community and the only way to pre-vent it is to keep thmgB in order all the time. We have had alesson, let u.s profit by it. Many worthy colored iolks sufferedindignities because unworthy ones had made so much troubleand by influence has escaped proper punishment. Back upthe police and there will be no more trouble.

INTERNATIONAL CARTOON CO.. w\High Living Pressure Big Contribution Toward

"Modern Decadence"By RABBI LEO M. FRANKLIN, of Detroit

SWISS LAW OFFERS GOOD SUGGESTION

Standardization and unification of traffic regulationsthroughout the United States, in order to reduce accidents andaid in law enforcement, was the program discussed by theSecond National Conference on Street and Highway Safety,recently held at Washington under the auspices of SecretaryHoover.

The committee on statistics showed that in 1924, therewere 23,300 deaths and nearly 600,000 serious personal in-juries, as the result of streets and highway accidents. Automo-bile traffic was incolved in at least 85 per cent, of the, accidents.

The large number of automobile accidents reported fur-nishes the background for continued agitation, in political cir-cles, for compulsory automobile liability insurance, usuallyunder a state fund—in plain English, state automobile liabil-ity insurance.

It is a grave question whether compulsory automobile lia-bility insurance, either with private companies or at the handsof the state, would reduce automobile accidents, It wouldseem that the natural result would be for careless people tobecome more careless, with resulting increase in accidents.

• Inasmuch as accident prevention is the end sought, ratherthan the writing of insurance, it has been suggested that ourTaw-making bodies take a leaf from the old Swiss laws—that

, the person responsible for the accident should T)e assessed5! poinething as a punitive example. In other words, if the lawI provided that 20' per cent of th,e verdict, with a maximum of| $200 for personal damages and $50 for property damages,jj|Bhould be paid by the owner of the car which caused the ac-

cident (tji i-ase it was insured), there would probably resultan immediate decrease in accidents. But simply requiring

X wholesale insurance, either with private companies Or the state,.'• wouki not reduce accidents.

HE prophets of evil hold carnival today. The univwal rwlt o!youth against the authority of tradition and its iimiatrnre uponthe ri#ht of independent thought and action are looked upon usijrne of a decadent Bociety. The question is justified (whether

these pessimistic oracles correctly diagnose our moral situation or whetherthey look at life through colored glasses.

Whatever may come, the "conspiracy of mlenoB* about things hy-gienic has been broken. '

On the other hand, nothing ran be more unwholesome and mislead-ing than overemphasiB on sei distinction, and there is • vast differencebetween prudery and brazeDness, between a becoming modesty and tfrankpess that approaches the indecent.

No one can be, blind' to the fact that with the new freedom that hascome to the youth of our day, there haa been bovn a kind of bravado thatcarries them to what an older generation would have called indecency, asthough they would tempt fate by trying to find how near they can go tothe edge without toppling over. And the numbers of those who fall intothe depths are appallingly large.

Stories one hears from the lips of teachers of these adolescents, theweird tales of petting partieB and'Other forms of familiarity which cannotbe wholly fictitious, are of a character to give pause. Yet I ftress myfaith in the average young man and young woman of today. Not onh, touse their own phrase, are they able to take care of themselves as a rule,but they have little desire to loweT their own standards of right conduct.

If we were dealing with a situation that affects youth exclusively wemight be reinforced in ourioptimism by the belief that oncoming yearswould give these young people release from the frailties of mlolwci'iiee.

I note the tendency on the part of- men and women to deny anddefy the normal oncoming of age. Men and women of an age (hat shouldsuggest serious purposes are prone to outdo the young in pursuing pleas-ure. Homes are being reduced to houses. There is a growing number ofmen and women whose lives are so entirely built upon the plane of thephysical that there is no room and no incentive to establish a right familyideal.

How can you blame young men and young women for drinking andgambling when their fathers and mothers set the example? How canyou ask young men to be clean if their fathers give them no better Teasonfor leading a moral life than the fear of physical disease? How can youask young women to dress and to act modestly when mothers and grand-toothers refuse to do so? What can you hope for in a Jay when, as someone put it recently, the demimonde are forced to dress modestly in orderto distinguish themselves from their more respectable sisters?

Once the war was an eicuse. This was called a reaction. But w*have gone on and on in pursuit of sense satisfaction. We envy andemulate the "go-getter" and we despise the plodding, patient toiler who,cannot push on fast because his end is not gold but godliness and thebuilding up of human life. Our standard! have become less Jewish andmore Grecian. '

All 1 ask is that we awake to the danger bells. It is time to lift OUTmoral standards higher for our own sake* and for the Bakes of the chil-dren unborn.

Rudolph Valentino and Mrs. Val-entino are both on the bill at theNew Empire Theatre, Rahway, nextweek. The great movie sheik is thestar in "Cobra" which is the lead-ing picture for Monday, Tuesday andWednesday. Wednesday is doublefeature day at the Empire and theother feature for that day it "WhenLove Grows Cold," with Mrs. Valen-tino as the star.

"Cobra" is said to be the greatestpicture Valentino has made. The plotis rather i-nusual in that the womanis the a«fft'i;ssive one in an off-colorlove affair. The sheir is cast in theharacter of a dashing Italian count,

n modern Don Juan. The wife ofhis heat friend—"the cobra wofhan"—falls in love with him. She usesher fascinating powers as the cobrafascinated a panther. He goes to ahotel where she goes. But his con-science tortures him and he leaves.She remains in the hotel and thatnight it burns and the wife of hisbest friend is burned to death. Thisis the big climax of the first dramaticsituation.

Later the count falls in love withhis secretary. It is an honest lovethis time aa he sees real happinessahead. But fate plays another card—the husband of the woman whowas burned to death is the count'sbest friend and now this widower iBin love with the secretary of thecount. Dramatic struggle and sacrirke mark the final chapters of theplot.

The Empire offers a fine bill oftwo feature pictures and a comedyfor Sunday's benefit show. CrejghtonHale is the star in "The Shadow onthe Wall." Enjoyment of this pic-ture depends almost entirety uponthe suspense of wondering what willhappen next and it would spoil thewhole thing to gtve a hint of theplot in advance. But it will furnishcreeps and chills and thrills enoughto satisfy the moat exacting moviefun.

"If Marriage Fails," the other pic-ture for Sunday is based upon thekind of mix-up that U commonamong wealthy, idle young wives.Jacqueline Logan is the star in thecharacter of Nadia, an Italian fortune teller. Eleanor, the wife of JoeWuotibury invitee the fortune tellerto one of her parties to tell fortunesEleanor is currying on flirtations withvarious idle, worthless men, Joe becomes interested in the fortune tell-er aiucti his own wife has little timefor his society. But Eleanor becomesjealous aad asks Nadia to discourageJoe. Eleanor refuses to be devotedto him andsAdda her further cunftdence that soon she is to present himwith heir. Kleanor is lying in eachinstance and when she in diacuvecedin a road house with another manwhen tbe police raid it, Nadia whohappens to be passing tak«s a handand makes a prisoner of Kleanorthen sends for Joe.
