BREAK GROUND TODAY TO CONSTRUCT TUNNEL UNDER HUDSON RIVER

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 12. Construction of a vehicular tunnel under the Hudson River, between New York and Jersey City starts today with the breaking of ground for one of the tube's big airshafts. State, county and municipal officials from both states have been invited to participate in the ceremonies in Manhattan this afternoon. Engineers expect to complete the structure by 1924. The cost, estimated at $20,000,000, is to be borne equally by the two states. Shore works, including shafts and approaches, will require IS months to construct, after which actual work of boring under the river is to begin. Ferries Congested. Continued congestion at the ferries between New York and New Jersey prompts the belief of tunnel engineers that 5.600,000 motor and horse-drawn conveyances will use the tube in 1924, with traffic showing a steady increase, reaching an annual figure of 22,000,000 vehicles by 1943. Tolls based on the ferry rates will be levied for 20 years to pay for the tube, and then it would be free for the use of all. Four driveways, two in each direction, will be provided. A sidewalk, t'o feet in width, also is planned. The tunnel, comprising twin cast iron tubes each with an external diameter of 29 feet, will be six feet wider than the " Pennsylvania Railroad tubes under the Hudson East Rivers. Will Prevent Blockades. Traffic blockades, now common on

ferries, would be precluded by provid-! ing nt each end of the tube derrick-

equipped trucks to take stalled auto mobllps In tow. Three driveways in each direction will bo furnished on the approaches, because slight inclines there are expected to slow down the movenr.ent of the vehicular queues. Ventilation to rid the tunnel of carbon monoxide gases from automobile exhausts will be furnished by four large shafts and also by an air duct under the roadway and an exhaust above. Smoky vehicles circulate poisonous gas freely in closed places but chemists working on the tunnel ventilation system estimate that at th

highest point or saturation mere be only 3 parts of carbon monoxide to 10.000 p"arts of air in the tube. It requires 8 parts of the gas to 10,000 parts of air. they figured, to givo a man a headache. New Executive Secretary Takes Charge of Work of Tuberculosis Association INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 12. Plans for the 1921 drive against tuberculosis in Indiana are now being formulated by Murray A. Auerbach, whose appointment as executive secretary of the Indiana Tuberculosis association is announced at association headquarters. "There were 3.26S deaths in Indiana last year from tuberculosis," says Mr. Auerbach. "This means there must be at least 30,000 cases, all of them sources of infection, in the state. Our duty is to save these cases and to protect the people of the state against them." "Indiana has made a splendid start in the long fight against tuberculosis," Mr. Auerbach said, "by establishing sanatoria, open air schools and clinics. This work must be kept up and more such facilities arranged, but the next step is in reality the first step the finding of the tuberculosis cases. Persons suffering from the first stages of tuberculosis must be found and placed under treatment. We know that the high mortality rate in tuberculosis is due to the lateness with whieh most cases are subpected to treatment rather than to incurability of the disease. Ninety per cent of the cases can be saved if thy are found and cared for in time." Mr. Auerbach, who was a first lieutenant in the sanitary corps during the war, came here from Red Cross work in New Orleans. He succeeds E. Q. Laudeman, of Rochester, Ind., last year's secretary. Mr. Auerbach will direct the Christmas seal sale for Indiana, the proceeds of which defray the year's anti-tuberculosis campaign. SHIP'S CREW REFUSES TO BATHE WITHOUT COMPANY CONSTANTINOPLE. Oct. 12 The crew of the Italian steamer Polacky went on btriko upon the arrival of the ship here the other day because the health officers insisted that they houlc take a bath before landing, as '.eerage passer get s must do. The crew refused to bathe unless first-class paae.ngers also wore compelled to go swimming. The strike ended when first-class passengers agreed to this. Crew, steerage and first-class passengers all entered Bosphorus taking sea bath, then returning to the ship which proceeded to Naples.

RURAL PHONES CHANGE TO AUTOMATIC TYPE

Rural subscribers of the Richmond Home Telephone company, using 400 phones in country homes surrounding Richmond, will receive an automalic instrument by Jan. 1, to replace the phone now in use. W. M. Bailey, manager of the company said Tuesday that the cost of replacing these instruments would a. proximate $30,000. When all the iu struments have been installed, the farmers will have at their command one of the most up to date and ef ficient systems that has been devised, Paul 11. Haynes, a member of the Indiana Public Service commission, iecently wrote the local manager, con. mending the innovation. The letter follows : My Dear Mr. Bailey: I have your letter of the 25th. Permit mc to congratulate, you on the improvements you are making, particularly as regards the extension of automatic service to rural communities. This is indeed a forward step in Indiana and one which your patrons should appreciate. It, however, is typical of the progressive methods which you have followed since my acquaintance with your property. The automatic toll switching should also prove to be a splendid improvement. If all the companies of Indiana were

Rev. Albert S. Mennaugh, 61 years old a Brethren minister, has been taken to the Indiana slate prison at Michi gan City.

TOKIO, Oct. 12.Japan is not likely to subscribe to the idea that the naval strength of rations which are members of the League of Nations, shall be cut down or their increase stopped, in the opinion of the leading daily, the Nichi Nichi. "All powers are agreed on that proposition on principle," observes the Nichi Nichi in its political news column. "But the United States,

which was the power that proposed ! curtailment of naval expansion, has ! not as yet joined the League and she ' is fast Increasing her naval strength, i

Even if other powers should strictly and faithfully adhere to the principle of reduction, the peace of the world will just the same be menaced by the powerful naval power of America. "Thus, the general conference of the League of Nations will not accomplish

anything, except that each of the mem-1

bers present will search into the heart of another." (The first meeting of the Assembly of the League of Nations has been called at Geneva for November 15.) Policy Outlined. The Nichi Nichi therefore observed that the Japanese navy would consider the question from the peculiarly Japanese point of view. "But, briefly speaking," the Nichi Nichi goes on, "the policy, it may be understood, may be summarized as follows: "The eight battleships and eight

cruisers plan, which had been a long cherished idea, and which was approv-

vessels. This plan must be completed regardless of the time of completion. "If because America is not a member of the League of Nations, the members present should consider any action made as useless and should content themselves with simply meeting each other in a conference, the Empire's representatives may not express the view of, the Empire at all."

SEAMAN ARE ACCUSED ' OF SMUGGLING LIQUOR (By Ansoclated Presn

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. Evidence gathered by federal agents which is said to have disclosed that seamen cn a number of foreign ships frequently in collusion with the masters of their vessels, have been smuggling liquor into the United States, may lead to the seizure and sale of ships whose crews violate the American prohibition laws. Officials of the bureau of internal revenue it was said today, are of the opinion that smuggling, which they say has increased considerably during the past six months, particularly along the Atlantic seaboard, can best be curbed by invoking provisions of the Volstead Act which authorizes the government to confiscate vehicles of transportation used in violation of the prohibition laws. Within the three mile limit, foreign ships are technically subject to American laws. Although seizure of foreign vessels it was said might result in complications with foreign nations,

prohibition officials are said to be agreed that confiscation of a few ships would check the activities of bootleggers.

The mystery surrounding the fate of a Flemish army officer and an Italian pilot flying in a Savoia biplane from Milan to Finland, who had been miss ing since Sept. 7. was solved yesterday when the bodies of the men were found frozen near the summit of Toedf mountain at an altitude of nearly 12,000 feet. The machine, which was the property of the Finnish government, was badly smashed. It apparently had struck the peak head-on and was partly buried in the snow.
