ASSEMBLY NOW
READY To WORK
Both Branches of Legislature
Breathing Easier as Result
of Breaking Deadlock
nu specfel Correspo,. 1enf.

TRENTON, Feb. 12-Both branch
es Of the legislature, breathing easier
as the result of the breaking of the
assembly speakership deadlock, ad-
journed yesterday after each body
had put its house in order and ad-
justed the legislative situation which
was somewhat out of joint, caused by
the house controversy. 1t was neces-
sary for the assembly to go through
all the procedure yesterday which it
should have carried out had a speak,
err been chosen on January IA, the
day the session started. A committee
had to be named to inform the sem
ate thai the house was ready to
transact business II then the SEN
ate decided to put all its bills back
on first reading" to conform to the
law which says a bill must be read
three times in each branch of the
legislature after each has reported
that it has organized to transact the
states business.
In the senate the absence of Presi-
dent Runyon. who is still i'll, brought
about the selection of Senator David
G.. Conrad, of Ocean, as president pro
tenn. In the house Speaker Pierson
announced he had appointed Bryor
M. Drew, OF Union, as his private
secretary. He also appointed Messrs.
Kellam, Camden; Whine, Bergen:
Rogers, Passaic, Republicans; Nc
Ateer, Hudson. and Fruend. Essex, as
a committee to inform the governor
that the house had organized inc was
ready to receive his communications.
| The four weeks of deadlock means
, additional expense to the state in
clerk hire. 1t was decided to pay the
temporary attaches one-third of the
salary of their respective offices for
the full term. Under this plan Upton
S. Jefferys, of Camden, will be given
about $500 as acting clerk during the
deadlock, which was a ticklish post,
in view of the situation. The clerk
for the full session of the house re-
ceived $1,000. Other temporary at
taches will be paid proportionately.
1t is expected that next Monday q
flood of bills will be introduced in the
assembly. There is talk that the
Democrats will attempt to abolish the
Edge corrupt practices election act
passed at the last session. 1t is a good
measure, but in some respect not
practical. The legislature will start
in earnest next Monday night.

of the Democratic party policy and
the work of hat party when in power

chase as the one piece of Democratic
work that was not a mistake.

Letter From Private Chester Medley.

Letter Private Chester Medley.
Dear Sister,
Just a few lines to let you know
that / am all right. You probably have
read in the papers that the Second Di-
vision has done great things. We
have been fighting at Verdun, Cha
teau Thierry, Scissors, st. Mihiel,
Champagne, and the Argonne-Meuse
front and there was tough fighting be-
lieve me. We lost a lot of our men
in the drive but 1 think our division
is the best in the A. +. f.
We have moving pictures at the
Y. NJ. c. A. often and they are fine.
You want to write me real often be-
cause it gets lonesome when l do not
hear from home. / wish / could be
home to tell you my story of my first
year in this country, I guess l will
have to stay up for about three nights
to tell you all about it. The casualties
in the Second Division during their
great drives were 735 Officers and
33,6O3 men, which is about ten per
cent. of the total casualties in the
whole A. E. F. The division captured
nearly $4,000 prisoners and 343 can
non, so you ran now see what a good
division / am in.
Your brother,

WOODBRIDGE, Feb. 12:-Just at
midnight the last diner filed out of
Masonic Hall, In Green street, after
the most notable ven in the history
of the Woodbridge Township Repub-
lican Club, the best of their annual
Lincoln dinners.
Two hundred and thirty members
and guests of the club entered the
hall at $3.50 o'clock and packed the
dinner that acknowledged no superior
n the guests took advantage of the
splendid menu, as prepared by Mrs.
Larson of Perth Amboy, and did full
justice to it.
But the dinner was not the only
treat. There was splendid music by
Ritter's orchestra of Perth Amboy,
starting with the Star Spangled Ban
ner."
But following the meal the real
treat of the evening came when
POSTMASTER Charles r. Brown an
nounced that there were two assem-
blymen present who, he was sure,
would listen to the plea of Middlesex
county and enter their names among
the list of legislators who favor the
proposition to have the state of New
Jersey AXE the burden of the two
bridges over the Raritan off the tax
payers of the county. This was re-
tGtNcu Will al % VI Bt1oo
but neither of the legislators referred
to the bridges in their speeches.
Assemblyman Harvey s. Moore, of
Trenton, substituted for State Comp
troller Newton A. K. Bugbee, who
was unable to attend. Mr.. Moore
spoke on q bill that he introduced in
the house yesterday under which the
display of a red flag would lead to a
prison sentence of fifteen years at
hard labor, a fine of $4,000, or both.
Assemblyman Charles l.. Morgan,
of Elizabeth, who is slated for a dis
trict court judgeship in Union county,
and who is being groomed in certain
circles for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton in 1921, made a strong plea to
Republicans of the state to put up a
candidate for governor his e with
new ideas and ideas that will conform
with the changed times Of the past
few years. The Union county mans
remarks were a revelation and were
received with great enthusiasm. He
disagreed with Mr.. Moore on the ex-
clusion of emigrants for a fo~ur-year
period after peace is signed and said
he believed that the seeds of BolShe-
vism were sown in the East Side of
New York and other crowded sections
and that If they are to be stamped
out it is u to the people of the Unit
ed States to wipe the conditions out
that make possible the breeding OF
these germs.
He arraigned the state of New Jer-
sey for it's failure to take proper steps
to start children off in the right chan
nels and for the fact that institutions
for the feebleminded in the state
were crowded, due largely to lack of
proper trimming.

Basketball Game.

With the result of today's High

games the teams stand in their same

their upper berth more firm by de-
feating the juniors by the score of
10 TO s. and the sophomores show
ing some fast team work swamped
the freshman b. the score of "a to
4.
The first period of the Senior
Junior game was very tight and not
many baskets were made on either
side, those that were made usually
being placed at difficult angles, Carl
son making seven points the first
period for the Seniors while Probst
made the only points for the Juniors.
The last half was a regular walk
away for the near grads. Carlson
placing basket after basket and be-
fore the game was over had six to
her credit. The Juniors in the lat
ter period were able to make but
one basket when mitchell got past
the Senio guards and placed a neat
one. The score ended Is to 8 in
favor of the Seniors.

The Sophomores in the last game
of the afternoon showed some fast
team work that set the yearlings
wondering at the start Of the game,
and before the game was over it
looked as if the Juniors might have
another contest for second position.
At the very start Of the game Tay-
Tor and Clauer of the soph forwards
started a habit of placing baskets,
the forwards seeming to have a con-
test as to who could place the most
ovals which resulted in a victory
for Clauer who placed seven TO Tay-
lor's five. Not only were the for
wards in good condition but the
whole five seemed TO be playing a
good game at floor work and pass
ing, especially Klotz. who displayed
good form at center. both at getting
the tip offs and passing. Woods
worth of the yearlings was the
mainstay of that team, being the
only one able to place.
