House Again Fails to Elect a
Speaker---Vote Stands
Thirty to Thirty
Bu soeoial Correapondent.

BIZ Special Correspondent
TRENTON, Jan. 21.-The deadlock
in the assembly continues. After sew
eral attempts last night to organize
the house, adjournment was taken
with the vote still standing thirty to
thirty on the speakership.
The session was marked by person
alities INDUCED in by Assemblyman
Moore, Republican of Mercer county.
Mr.. Moore told a story that was evil
IDENTIFY intended to be funny, but which
was resented by the rest of the mem
bers. Republicans and Democrats
alike. The point was a reflection on
Middlesex county, the contention be
Ing that the Democratic asSemblymen
from Middlesex did not represent the
will of the people of that county.
Mr.. Moore's sarcastic remarks call
ed forth a rejoinder from Assembly,
man Wight, of Perth Amboy, and
considerable feeling was injected into
the fight that up to that time has pro-
ceeded in a most friendly manner.
The result of Mr.. Moore's effort was
merely~to make the Democrats stand
more fiji mly than ever behind their
candidate.
The Republicans at the opening OF
the session offered a resolution that
the Republican candidate for speaker,
Mr.. Pierson, be elected and the DEM
ocrats take the clerkship, the assist
ant clerkship to go TO the Republi-
cans and the rest of the offices, to be
split fifty-fiHy. The Democrats stood
solidly behind Mr.. McAteer for speak
er, however the vote standing thirty
to thirty. AS the ballots proceeded
with the same result Mr.. Moore start
ed his personality tactics which added
a touch of bitterness ana it was ap-
parent that any and all chances for
getting together for that session, at
least, were gone.
But little was accomplished in the
senate last night, the whole interest
in tho legislature being in tho or
ganization of the house. Many of the
senators came over to the house side
of the capitol to watch the fight.

DISEASE ACT OK.
Supreme Court UphOlds State
VenereaI Law.
Cities, However, Cannot Dictate
on Treatment.

/ The. state supreme icourt handed
down a lengthy opinion late Tues
day upholding provisions of the law
and action of cities in providing
for segregation of persons suffering
from venereaI disease. The case went
to the supreme court frcm Shawnee
county when four negroes sought to
escape a trip to the state farm at
lansing fer treatment.
In its syllabus the supreme court
upheld the constitutienality of the
statutes under which. provision was
made for the care OF men suffering
from disease. The court also neld
that no legislative power is delegated
and none asserted under the present
system of handling cases. The city
ordinance under which men were eX-
amined and sentenced was held to be
valid and in conformity with the gen
4ral law.
Action may be taken, the court de-
cIared, in cases where the city health
officer has made an examination and a
-report to the effect that persons are
suffering from disease. Such eXaTni-
nations are hell not to be N conflict
with the law. The fact that defend
ants may secure and pay for treatment
farm does not give them right to select
a manner of treatment or place for
treatment. Assertions that the place
of treatment for diseased men is vague
and indefinite was held not to have
been established to the satisfaction of
the court. All of the defendants must
go to the state farm for treatment.

Berlin, Nov. 1S.-Germany decided
upon unrestricted submarine warfare
in spite of, warnings that such a step

war as a decisive factor. This was
proved today by reports read at the
inquiry into, war responsibility being
conducted by a subcommittee of the
national assembly
Field, Marshal Won Hindenburg was
the leading witness of the day but his
testimony was scarcely more interest
ing than that of General Ludendorf
and seemed even less important than
the reading of reports to Berlin by DR..

state and former commercial attache
at the German embassy in Washing

The field marshal declared Ger

the struggle, with her defensive
strength impaired. He charged there
was LACK of cooperation between
the army and Interests at home," and
asserted this had vital effect upon
the final issue of the conflict. Rela-
tions between the German high com
mand and Count Won Bernstorff, for
mer German ambassador to the United
states, were Hot cordial, 1t was deVel-I
oBed, and it seemed an effort was
made to treat him as a scapegoat by
Won Hindenburg and Ludendorff, who
bitterly attacked him while giving
their evidence.
The field marshal and his chief aide
during the war rode to the reichstag
building behind a squad of newly or
ganized Berlin military police, being
mounted on shaggy, ill-groomed
horses. : Along the route from the
residence of Dr. Karl Helfferich, for

was a Gordon of military guards and
machine guns were placed in the win
