of the right of the United States TO

fear of international complications
was made in the Senate today by
Senator Walsh, the first Democrat
to undertake any extended discussion
on the subject in that body. The

said, would clearly establish THAI
Great Britain was bound by her at

transfers in war time, which had
been maintained for more than a
century and that France had

Assuming the transfer of the

Mum seemed 70 be the word among
Republicans in the City Hall and
elsewhere in Newark today over the
resignation Of Jerome T. Congleton
as police judge and what that action
might portend.
Rumors are rife, OF course, and as
those in a position to know will not
talk and only display anger when
reports are published, the reading
public must be content with rumors,
and take them confirmed or other
wise, just as they are compelled to
take war news from the European
battlefelds.
That Mr.. Congleton is TO become
q member OF the law department
under Mayor Raymond is denied.
The mayor ts indisposed today and,
in consequence, did not put in an ap-
pearance at the hall. Mr.. Raymond j
has said, and Mr.. Congleton has also
said, that the latter's retirement
from the police judgeship was for
purely personal reasons and that no
i'll feeling exists between them.
Judge Congleton reiterated today
that he had had no personal quarrel
with Mayor Raymond, and that his
resignation from the bench was
actuated by his own personal de-
sires. He expresses regret that any
other construction was placed on his
action.
There is absolutely no truth, he
says, in the current report that he
had a dispute with the mayor over
changes in the personnel of the
police court staff and adds that
those who started such a rumor had
no foundation for It.

snecisl to the Evening star.

TRENTON, Jan. est is believed
here today that the re-argument on
the ninety-cent gas case will be held
at an early date. George L. Record,
special counsel for the cities Of Pat
erson and Passaic, and Frank Som
mer, counsel for the Pubic Utility
Commission, said before leaving here
yesterday that they would imme-
diately start about preparing their
arguments, and it is believed that the
Court of Errors and Appeals will set
an early date for the hearing, in
view of the enormous public interest
in the case.
The court yesterday voted to allow
reargument before a majority of
the members, on the affirmation by
the Supreme Court of the Public
Utility Commissions rule fixing the
rate for gas in the Passaic district
at ninety cents per thousand feet.
The Errors Court, by a minority
vote, recently reversed the Supreme
Court decision and invalidated the
