RAMSAY CLASHES
WITH NJ GOVERN
IN ROAD PROBE
Contractor Heaps Abuse on
Senator Following Confer
ence of Joint Appropriations
! Committee Yesterday.

Senator William E. Ramsay, of
this city, clashed with Thomas j Nc
Govern, a Mercer county contractor
when the latter took occasion to
heap aDuse upon the joint appropria-
tons committee OF the senate at a
railroad depot in Trenton last night.
The contractor, OF whom DR.. Ram
say, who IS an expert on insanity,
says he has his own opinion, came
in for a reDuke from Chairman Hen
messy, Of the appropriation commit
tee during its hnal session to con-
cIude its investigation into the affairs
of the State Road Department yes
terday afternoon.
\ The Mercer county contractor
led in vain to address the commit
h. at the opening session yesterday.
leator Hennessy requested that he
yIossAsa.. Soon after that the con-
,etor caused pos,efs- 10 be printed
Jon which In large letters was a
ltatement to the effect that whoever
caused smooth and slippery pave
ments to be placed upon the roads of
the state, SO that horses would slip
and fall and vehicles would skid,
few days. Senator Ramsay laugh
tngly exhibited copy of the poster
TO-DAY and then expressed his belief
as to what was alling McGovern.
1t was after the senators had fin
ished their work and were en- route
to their homes that McGovern made
an alleged attack upon the members.
He talked loudly about road work in
the state and then abused the sea-
ators openly. Dr. Ramsay went over
to him and ended the shower of
abuse in short order.
Following the request of Chairmal Il
Hennessy to McGovern to sit down
the committee heard some additional
testimony from r. B. Gage, state
chemist who has acted in his profc5-
sfonal capacity for the state road de-
partment; Percy II. Wilson, of Phila-
delphia, secretary to the Association
oe American Portland Cement Ma u
facturers, who claimed that the plan
of concrete road building was rapidly
growing, and Charles e. McDowall,
OF East Orange, an employe of the
Newton Paving Company, who gave
testimony on general contract let
ting and road work in the various
counties
Following the conclusion Of the
road probe, the senators delyed into
the affairs of the Inland Waterw; -
Department and listened to several
witnesses.

sand dunes. This is reported today
in the official communique which
announces the repu use of all German
attacks along the battle front. The
Belgians have gained ground on the
right bank of the ! ser south of Dix
nude. In addition to the advan, es
made by mining sand dunes and the
forward movement of Belgiaps south
of Dixmude French advances are re-
ported in the Argonne and Woevre
region.
The official statement today does
not report extensive advances along

counter-attacks reported appear to
Indicate that the allies are now meet

and the enemy IS making strenuous
efforts to reFain ground which has
