The extension is approximately 3,000 feet long, bringing the length of the Boardwalk to miles.

In addition to the boardwalk, new jetties were constructed and the beach was filled in. Bids for New Work Soon. Within several weeks the Bore President will advertise for bids for the construction of an $80,000 comfort station and two $25,000 pavilions. These will be placed alongside the new extension.

Chicago, June 1 (P)-The gantlet through which J. Durkin, Chicago's sheik bandit, twice shot his way to freedom, today led him to the courtroom to the first of two murder charges to confront face, three former sweethearts as possible witnesses against him. The trial, for which a special venire of 100 men has been summoned, the fatal shooting of Edwin Shanahan, Federal agent. The defense contends that Durkin had a large sum of money on him at the time and that he shot in the belief that the agent was a bandit. The unknown element in the trial is the testimony of the three women.

Two of them the debonair Durkin deserted, The third is Irma Sullivan, 18, who married the youth during a brief stop in his flight to the Pacific Coast. Irma was with him when he was arrested aboard a train at St. Louis some months ago. Betty Werner, the girl who deserted her husband for Durkin and who was in turn deserted by him, is relied on by' the State as one of its principal witnesses. Irma Sullivan may testify if it is established that she is not Marty's legal wife.

The third feminine figure is Ruth Fieback, who appeared after Durkin was captured, announced herself as his legal wife and obtained a divorce. The State, seeking a hanging verdict, has a second murder charge. It alleges the killing of a Chicago detective, shot to death with another man when a police ambush went astray during a visit of Durkin here. Durkin claims the officer was killed by shots fired at him as he fled. BORAH INDICATES INVASION HERE AS INDEPENDENT DRY Montana Referendum On All Dry Statutes Of State Is Assured Helena, June 1 (AP)Montana voters will be given an opportunity to vote next November State statutes relating to Prohibition, except those forbidding the sale of liquor to minors.

This was assured yesterday when the last of the necessary petitions required to initiate repeal was filed with the Secretary of State. Petitions now have been filed from 24 counties. The movement for the repeal vote was started by the Montana Branch of the Association Against Prohibition several months ago. (Continued from Page 1) fight would be bitter and leave many scars. It, therefore, is clear that the Republicans are for a bad time in 1928 on the Prohibition "issue.

A middle-of-the-road platform of "law enforcement" will satisfy neither Wets or Drys. Big Fight at Polls Looms. If Governor Alfred E. Smith is the Democratic candidate, the Drys will not rest content with a mere "law enforcement" opposition to him. It is becoming evident that "law enforcement" is a mere phrase, signifying nothing.

The Federal enforcement people themselves admit that Prohibition is not being enforced. Indicates New York Invasion. Senator Borah today indicated that he would keep a free hand with regard to campaigning in New York the Prohibition referendum. Although he would not commit himself to any program, he Indicated he probably would carry his dry fight into New York on his own responsibility. He already has two tentative engagements for speeches in the State, but has not yet determined whether these will deal with Prohibition or some other subject.

Promises to Give Views. "After Congress adjourns there are several, questions that will bear discussion before the people and I doubt very much if any organization will want to become responsible for my views on the different questions." The possibility of Senator Borah entering the New York campaign on the dry side creates an embarrassing if not dangerous prospect for Senator Wadsworth. If an independent Republican Dry is put into the campaign, thus Ing it three-cornered fight.

Senntor Borah's participation will give such a candidate a tremendous ad- vantage. Wadsworth Faces Hard Fight The New York Senatorship campaign this autumn will thus become one of the most important in the country. The New York referendum already has attracted nation-wide attention. If Senator Borah actually goes Into the State and conducta a dry, anti-referendum campaign, the move for an independent dry I publican candidate to oppose Senator Wadsworth will gain great impetus. The spectacle of Borah, a dry Republican from Idaho, battling with Senator Wadsworth and Governor Al Smith, will be epie ih nature.

Mr. Borah will give his opponents for their money, run He does not intend to speak in New York under the auspices of the Anti-Saloon League nor campaign against "Jim" Wad worth as such. But the Borah campaign Inevitably will make a great appeal to dry up-State Republicans, and, if an dependent candidate is in the field, anything may happen. Sees Poll as Subterfuge. Mr.

Borah's main contention that referenda on Prohibition are mere political subterfuges that enable politicians and candidates office to dodge the issue, shifting responsibility to their constituents. Behind the scenes the real Borah motive in to get back in a sense at senators Reed of Pennsylvania, Edge of New Jersey and Wadsworth of New York, all of whom are Wet and all of whom are wild about referenda. Mr. Borah considers their attitude hypocritical. What New York regular RepubIleana backing Senator Wadsworth will think of Borah's intrusion Into New York State affaire remains to be seen.

Borah did not hesitate month ago to go into the Republicnn primary campaign. in Illinois and deliver -speeches against Senator William B. McKinley for his vote In favor of the World Court. There has been some talk of his going to Massachusetts and other States, Bornh's Views Differ. contradiction in Mr.

Bornh'a attitude in that his excitement over HOLIDAY TRAFFIC BY ROAD AND TRAIN HEAVIEST KNOWN Vast Crowds of Returning Tourists Jam Every Avenue of Travel Leading Into City. Week-end traffic returning to New York City by railroad and motorcar jammed a every train and every highway from early afternoon yesterday until long after midnight. Motorcars waiting for the ferry from Staten Island to Brooklyn made a line half 8. mile several hours in spite of additional ferry service. The heaviest traffic jam was at Weehawken Ferry, while the peak of travel by boat from Staten Island to Manhattan came about 7 o'clock blast night with three additional boats (in service making the total capacity 250 cars per hour across the bay.

Traffic was 80 heavy through Westchester County that cars were rerouted over Bronx River Parkway at White Plains and extra traffic police were stationed at all congested pointe. Roads slippery from the rain made traveling slower than usual added to the congestion. The State Police reported the largest number of returning vacationists in the history of Westchester County. The railroads were equally jammed, with extra trains to carry the crowds. The Pennsylvania estimated 300.000 as its load over the Pennsylvania and Long Island lines.

More than 125,000 were handled at the Grand Central Station. West Shore and Ontario and Western Railroads reported the heaviest traffic of any Memorial Day yet known. referenda does square with his expressed that Senators and Representatives should ignore them and vote their own convictions. And what becomes of Mr. Borah's idealistic confidence the wisdom and rights of the people, it he wishes off an expression of the voters of New York State, even if it mere expression without any Immediate legislative effect? Senator Not Consistent.

What does Mr. Borah think of a Senator from Idaho interfering in the domestic affairs New York State? These questions are being suggested in Washington today to Indicate that Mr. Borah is not consistent. As a matter of fact, consistency 19 not one of his strong points. Many of his attitudes, especially on questions of foreign affairs, have not been susceptible of logical analysis.

Mr. Borah 19 so disposed that he doesn't care. He says what his mind at the moment and ignores the con- sequences. His Dry Views Fised. His views on Prohibition, however, represent a fixed conviction.

It is most improbable that denouncing referenda he had any fixed plan of pushing his candidacy. The immediate reaction, looking toward 1928, and the ardor with which the Anti-Saloon League 1a embracing him, will be quite pleasing to him, but his record in the Senate, at this and recent sessions, has not been that of a man who was compromising his convictions to the wind of a future nomination. That, after all, is the strong point with many people. He 19 far and away the most distinguished protagonist of the dry cause who has yet taken the fleld. The Anti-Saloon League, which has been having bad time of late, fully realizes this.

But the main significance of Mr. Borah's crusade turns inevitably 011 I his dramatizing of an issue that is bound to confront the Republican party with in inescapable dilemma in 1928, if not before. It is certain that Prohibition will dominate that campaign to the exclusion of ay else, Wheeler Answers Tinkham. Washington, June 1 -Defending the propriety of paying members of Congress for speeches favoring Prohibition, Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti-Saloon League, in A statement published today, said his organization never had paid a Senator Representative for introducing or championing I a bill.

Wheeler's statement was issued in reply to one made public by Republican, Repre- I sentative Tinkham, Massachusetts, announcing that he Intended to Introduce AL resolution today providing for an investigation by a special House Committee to ascertain whether Representative Cramton, Republican, had Michigan, or other members, "received money or fees from the Anti-Saloon League OP any other organization interested in legislation pending before Congress."

Holding that a member of Congdress "who has ability enough HO that the people want to hear him should not be stopped from this service simply because he is a public official," Wheeler asserted that when a Congressman makes speech for prohibition, expenses and sometimes an hororartum paid by the organization that arranged for It." Representative Tinkham's, charge that the head of league's "professional lobby has admitted that $2,500,000 WAR spent in one year and $106.000 in a single Congressional election." brought from Wheeler the statement that the sum was the total spent "for all purposes in the height of the campaign for ratification."

Davenport, president of the Midwood Trust Company and the Home Title Insurance Company, returned to his office today after two-months absence spent largely in touring through Italy with Mra.

"Mussolini," he said, "seems to be much loved by three-fourths of the people and much feared by the other fourth.

PANDA BORAH'S CHANCES FOR 1928 RUINED BY SPEECH--KARLE "If Senator Borah thinks his Baltimore speech puts him in line for the presidential nomination he's fooling only himself. Once again Senator Borah is on the wrong side of the fence.

The referendum in New York State will show that this country is not so dry as he thinks it is." The above statement was made today by State Senator John L. Karle, co-author of the beer and wine referendum law under which New York State will vote for or against Volstead Act modification at the coming election. In his Baltimore speech Senator Borah criticized the New York referendum. He said the State by refusing to aid in the enforcement of the prohibition law "showed disloyalty to the fundamental principles upon which the Federal Government is founded." "If there's any act of disloyalty involved in determining the sentiment of a people. by added Senator Karle, "then let's turn the Government over to Mr.

Borah and the Drys and let them run it." Flint Won't Be Candidate. Coincident with Senator Karle's statement came word that Chancellor Charles Wesley Flint of Syracuse University had definitely declined to be the candidate of the Drys against United States Senator James W. Wadsworth. Chancellor Flint's name has been mentioned prominestly within the past week as the choice of the Dry forces to make the run against Senator Wadsworth. In a statement at Syracuse Chancellor Flint said: "I amn not in politics and have no intention of entering that engrossIng game.

The Chancellorship of Syracuse University is my one and only job. "I have paid no attention to vague newspaper reports Including "my name ILS possible candidate for the Senate.
