To the worlds youth, and shall sing

Mayors from several New Jersey
cities and towns gathered Ia the eoun-
Gil chamber irf@Tng gfty-zfgff- today to
! further the plans OF forming a league
of New Jersey mayors.
Mayor Raymond was not present.
Through his secretary, E. Erie Moody,
Mr.. Raymond sent word that he was
indisposed. Mayor Frederick W. Dom
nelly, OF Trenton, called the confer
ence to order about noon and Mayor
Mark NJ. Fagan, of Jersey City, was
selected to act as chairman.
The conference fixed Tuesday,
February 9, at Trenton, as the date
for the convention of mayors, at
which time the league will be for
mally organized and constitution and
bylaws framed. The convention will
be held in the Chamber of Com
merce.
Copies of draft OF bill permit
ting municipalities in New Jersey
TO send delegates to a convention OF
municipal officials, which bill is to
be introduced in the Legislature
next week. were passed around
among the conferees.
The draft was approved by the con-
for the cities of Paterson and Pas
sale, which project originally brought
the mayors together. spoke for the
adoption of the measure. Mayor Don
nelly was instructed TO present the
bill for introduction through some
member of the Legislature from Mer-
Ger county.
The bill is an elastic one, and i'm
poses no obligation on any city or
town.
Commissioner George r. Brensinger,
of Jersey City, presented to the con-
ference the g!st of bill before the
Legislature which has TO do with the
taxation of public utility franchises.
The measure is House bill No. is, in
troduced by Assemblyman Dolan.
When Commissioner Brensingsr
asked for the approval of the confer
enee of the measure Edward F. Mer-
rey, of Paterson, opposed il. He said
the time was not ripe for the passage
of such a measure.
Should we lose our fight IN the
gas fight, It would be well to have
such a law as provided for In the
House bill No. IS. We are contend
ing" he went on, that franchises
have no value. Our approval of this
measure would be incons'ste with
our stand in the case soon to be re.
argued before the Court of Errors
and Appeals.
Mr.. Record said he agreed with Mr..
Merrey's viewpoint as a lawyer. but
not as a politician. He suggested an
amendment that nothing in the pro-
posed act should be construed by the
State as a right for basis for tax
alton of franchises.
Mayor Layton Calkins Of Plain
field. urged that Immediate action on
the measure be deferred. He thought
the conference was moving TOO
swiftly. A long argument ensued.
The motion to approve the bill was
tabled.
Mr.. Mercy next called the atten-
tion OF the conference to two bills in
the Legislature having to do with
grade-crossing accidents. The meas
ures were introduced by Senator
Peter ]. McGinnis and Assemblyman
John Hunter, both of Passaic county
Mr.. Mercy said the bills are the first
step toward a real elimination of
grade crossings. since they put the
anne for grade-erossing accidents
directly up to the railroads.

PACIFIC COASTS
DEFENSE URGED
IN HOUSE DEBATE
Day Given Over to Discussion
of $148, 100000 Appro-
priation Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.--Enterinl
g. strong plea for Pacific coast nava
defense, Representative Stephenss o.
California, featured the early hours
of the House debate on the $14S. 600, ,00t
naval bill today. He predicted thai
Great Britain never would seriously
participate in any war upon the Uni
ted States, but that in the interest OF
world wide peace the United States
should be prepared for defense
against attack by any other nation
and be fairly prepared to repel Great
Britain.
I'VE should not appropriate hun
dreds of millions additional" he said
until we know what defense we
ought to have. We can double the
number of submarines now built, and
not hinder any proper program. We
can build few battle cruisers and
not go contrary to the lessons of the
war in Europe.
I'VE have two great ocean fronts
and a fleet large enough to fairly pro-
tect only one. The Pacific coast has
more miles of territory touching the
three-mile limit than has the Atlantic
coast, but 1t has no dreadnoughts to
help protect it.
Calls Attention to Pacific.
"I am not one of those who think
war imminent or likely at any very
early day. Yet, if war should CONS
tomorrow, in which direction would
you ,ook to see the flash of the guns? {?
Now that the Panama canal Is
opened, do you think the only fleet
we should have should be on the
Pacific coast at least a part of the
time?
Secretary Daniels has said the feet
shou not be divided. Then why not
keep 1t In the Pacific most of the
time. It Is no farther from the
Pacific to the Atlantic than from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
"If the fleet Is to remain the larger
part of the year on the Atlantic coast.
do you think fifty submarines should
be stationed along our Pacific
shores?'
The House agreed to remain in
session continuously until conclusion
of the general debate late tonight.
Representative Hensley, of Missouri
was allowed four hours for speeches
against the bill by the minority on
the Democratic side; Representative
Gardner, of Massachusetts,, an hour
in favor of the full program of the
general board Of the navy. and
Chairman Padgett, of Tennessee. and
Representative Butler, of Pennsyl-
vania, ranking Republican commit
teeman, controlled a general equal
division of debating time,

Former Harvard President
Praises General Education
Board at Probe.
TELLS HOW HE GOT FUNDS
FOR UNIVERSITY BUILDING
Does Not Think InterIocking
Directorate in Endowed
Foundations Harmful.
BY JOHN EDWIN NEVIN
United Press STAFF Correspondent


NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Paying high
tribute to the benefactions of John
d. Rockefeller, Charles w. Eliot,
president emeritus of Harvard Col
lege, today defended the Rockefeller
Foundation and the General Educa-
ton Board from the charge that they
have poisoned education at the
source"
Education in this country has been
ia the past largely conducted by
chartered corporations, and these corr
porations, as well as all charitable,
religious and philanthropic effort,
have been far better for the country
than any effort of the government"
he said.
He believed in organized labor un-
der certain conditions. But their
present methods are improper, he de-
clared, especially in their action to
limit the hours of labor and the ex-
tent of production
mo ambitious, jealous man can be
happy under conditions of a limited
output" he said. "The highly eff1-
cient individual naturally is more
happy than the inefficient. I would
confer with organized labor in the
sense of communion, but would not
permit it to dictate. Labor should
have the right to strike to improve it's
condition, but boycotts and sympa-
thetic strikes cannot be too strongly
condemned.
Calls German Policy Failure.
II do not believe that government is
the strongest agency to promote pub
lie welfare. We have seen in Ger
many how the government dominated
industry, and all effort and the result
has not been happy for the German
people.

tions has been the corporations which

The opening Of bids today for ths
new Centre Market is a sequel 70 liti-
CATION that has been going on for
some months. When the matter Of
erecting a new building was first
suggested there was objection en-
tered by many persons. Others urged
a new site. Others stiIl urged the
building of several new district mar
kets. The last named plan has beeen
favored by Mayor Raymond.
When bids were opened for q new
building on the present site the Essex
Company won out. The award Of
the contract was then attacked by
John L. Armitage, as a taxpayer. and
the case was carried TO the Supreme
Court The award was declared
Illegal Meantime the Essex con-
struction Arm had started the eXca-
walton work. When the contract was
found to be illegal the contractors
stopped leaving a big hole along
Commerce street.
Since then the Common Council
has voted to award the Essex firm
about SIG 900 for their work on exca-
walton. This effort To compensate the
concern has also met with litigation
and that matter now is pending be-
fore he courts. It is claimed that
any such awerd is illegal, because
the award Of the contract was lille
gal.
Last month the building commit
tee of the Common Council decided
to resdvertise for bids. This was
done and was sanctioned by the Com
mon Council.
