OFFICIAL INQUIRY
IN DARDANELLES
FAILURE LIKELY
Gen. Stopford, Severely Crit
icised in HamiIton's Report,
Asks Immediate Probe.


LONDON, Jan. THE whole Dar-
danelles failure may be subjected to
an official inquiry, it was reported to-
day, as the result of General Hamil-
tons report. General Stopford. men,
toned by General Hamilton, has de-
manded that the war office make an
immediate investigation of the Suvla
bay failure, the Pail Mall Gazette an
nounced
General Stopford, who won honors
in Egypt and in the Boer war was
severely criticised by General Hamil-
ton in his report on the British de-
feat at Suvla bay. He Was relieved
of command of his division. and re-
turned to London.
1.-THE division generals were in
formed that, in view of the made.
quate artillery support General Stop
ford did not wish them TO make
frontal attacks upon entrenched
one section of his report.
"Within the terms of this instrnc-
tion lies the root of our failure to
make use of the priceless daylight
hours of the Sth of August"
Hamilton also complained that Stop
ford was moved by the objections of
some OF his division commanders to
refrain from pushing on against the
Turks, though that was the proper
course.

MOODY Tip"
IS AGAIN OUT
Gossip Has 1t He Will Be Put
Across as Comp
troIler.

"Moody's going through some time,
and maybe tonight" was one of the
tips around the City Hall today, but
dilieent search brought no substantial
confirmation of the suggestion that
Mayor Raymond's nomination of his
secretary, IL. Erie Moody, for comp
troller would be confirmed at to-
nights session of the Common Coun-
Gil.
In spite of the elusiveness of the
tip, many who pretend to know the
trend of undercurrentS insisted that
-four Democrats are going to flop: the
only question is when" Getting the
rumor mongers to name the four
prospective choppers" was another
proposition.
Tyler Permly, the present incum-
bent, has had the support of the
Democratic members of the Common
Council thus far, and the first sug-
gestion that q break in his support
was possible came New Years Day.
When the nomination of Moody as
comptroller was read Alderman T..
Garfield Clifford, minority leader, in q
stead of permitting an adverse vote
to be recorded, moved that the nomi-
nation lie on the table, thus making
possible its revival at any future
time.
The procedure caused many to say
that it was not for nothing the alder
man made the move and that its only
possible meaning could be that the
cause of the mayors secretary was
not hopeless. Since then the rumors
have continued to grow, but they
seem to have no more substantial
foundation than the belief that the
action of minority leader has a sig
nificance.
After the business session of the
Common Council tonight outgoing
and incoming members, as well as
the holdoyers, will join in social
session, when flowers and more cost
ly tokens of regard and esteem will
be distributed according to custom.

NEWARK BAY BY
CITIES IS URGED
Board of Works Suggestion for
Joint Action by Riparian
municipalities.
CONFERENCE MAY BE
HELD NEXT WEDNESDAY
Proposition to Assess All Pri-
vate OWners-Government
Assistance Wanted.

A proposition having as it's object
the formation of a Newark bay har-
Dor development commission was
suggested at the meeting of the Board
of Works yesterday afternoon. 1t
was decided to hold conference
next week to which representatives
of Newark, Jersey City. Bayonne and
Elizabeth will be invited. The pur-
pose of the movement will be TO con-
centrate on a Newark bay improve
nent program that will be satisfac-
tory to the municipalities along the
waterway.
commissioner Charles p. Gilien be-
neVes 1t will be possible to assess a
large portion of the cost of dredging
the bay and channels on the riparian
owners. He suggests legislation that
Will permit an assessment for filing
in the low lands. AS a result he
saws, the waterway will be deepened
and the adjoining lands will likewise
be benefited.
Colonel Charles II. McKinstrey, the
engineer for this district represent
ing the war department, is of the
opinion that such Il plan could be
worked out. Colonel Frederick V.
Abbott, also of the war department.
also G'vanced this theory He was
of the opinion that by joint effort of
Newark, Jersey City, Elizabeth and
Bayonne, it would be possible to
bring about a development zone in
Newark bay.
commissioner Gillen yesterday
urged upon his colleagues the i'm
portance and necessity of holding n
conference Of officials. II Is his plan
TO secure legislation which would
create a comm'eSion that would
finance the greater portion of the
cost of making Newark bay more
available for commerce.. The United
States government, it is expected, also
VIII pay for part of the work while
the NUN. pa,.:;es directly henetitisg
would also pay their share. 1t was
also figured out that If riparian own
ers on Newark bay could be charged
for the benefits received the financial
problem would be materially re-
duced.
Federal Aid.
Newark's single handed effort to
get a federal appropriation for New
ark bay improvement has not met
with much SUCCESS. With a united
force of the four larger cities of the
State interested in one program of
work and development it is the opin-
ion of Commissioner GilleH that bet
ter and more satisfactory results will
be Obtained.
Chief Engineer Norris r. Sherrerd
said he had discussed the question
with Colonel McKinstrey. He an
nounced that possibly Wednesday
next would be the day set for the
conference.
Commissioner Arthur r. Denman
presented a letter from Richard c.
Jenllinson describing a ledge of rock
On which the Bergen light is located

is member of the New Jersey Har-
hor Commission, enclosed a blue print
showing the course which vessels en-
tering Newark bay have to follow
