AreAN1. Feb. s.--New York and New
Jersey will so on with present plans for
building the si2.ooo.Ooo vehlcular tun-
mel between New York city and Jersey in
spite OF the action OF the United States
senate IN refusing to include an appro-
pr,s,ion for half that amount in the post
once bill So said New York officials
tonight.
Republican leaders in the Legislature
after a conference on the tunnel plan
announced two weeks ago that they had
agreed to pass a bill authorizing this
state 70 go halves" with New Jersey
on the tunnel cost, and that a hill APP
proprlatng $1,000 900 for immediate use
in starting the tunnel would be put
through likewise.
Counsel for the New York State Bridge
and Tunnel Commission already have
prepared such a bill, and It is understood
tNat speaker Sweet OF the Assembly has
a cory OF II ready to submit to the other
Republican leaders early next week. As
soon as several details are agreed upon
he measure will be introduced and its
Tsssase by the Legislature will be a
matter OF only few weeks, II Is be-
leved
one thing under discussion for a time
VAS whether tolls would be charged
FOR trucks and wagons using the tunnel
The New Jersey authorities were in
cl!ned TO the belief that the tunnel
should be free to all traffic. Speaker
Sweet and Republican leaders however
believed that tolls should be charged so
that the cost OF the tunnel to each state
100000. would be amortized in less
han twenty years.
These figures are based on calcua-
lions Of experts as to the minimum traf-
&c that might be expected through the
rev tube. The difference in opinion was
'hreshed out last week when Governor
smith had tine New York legislative
leaders, and the New Jersey leaders at
;he mansion for conference. The Jer-
sey men agreed that IL New York State
wanted tolls charged tolls would be
charged. II is expected that the bill will
fix the tolls and will go into detail on
other matters OF financing.
Governor Smith has not stated yet
tina; he favors the Appropriation for the
tunnel this year. He wants the tunnel,
but says he desires to see where the
'-orey is 20 come from before he goes
IN record for the plan. The Republicans
take the position that the tunnel is a
necessity that will benefit not only New
York people, bnt up-Staters who send food
and other products to New York, and
should be built without delay. no matter
how stringent New York States money
m rket Is.

BORAH FAILS TO GAIN
CENSORSHIP REPEAL
Senator Seeks to Obtain Re-

Post office Bill.
LOSES ON TECHNICALITY
His Effort to Suspend Rules
Voted Down-Measure Now
Goes to Conference.
Special Despdfch TO THE suS.


WASHINGTON, Feb. s.--After a spirited
but futile nght by Senator Borah
Udaho) to repeal the censorship powers
OF the Postniaster-General. the annual
Post Office appropriation measure,
carrying total OF $500, 10000 and
providing for $500. 100000 additional for
road building in the coming three years
was passed to-day in the Senate. The
measure must go to conference for ad-
justment.
Mr.. Borah urged that exercise of the
powers granted the Postmaster General
under the espionage act was tanta-
mount to the creation OF complete
censorship OF the press lie demanded
the repeal OF the section OF the law on
purely impersonal grounds. however,
without referring to Mr.. Burleson's con-
duct of the office.
The amendment proposed by Senator
Borah was purely new legislation In an
Appropriation measure and therefore I'M
der Senate rules subject to point OF or.
der as such. Chairman Bankhead OF
the Post Office Committee at once made
this point Of order. which was sustained
BY the Nlce-President. and Senator
Borah thereupon moved the suspension
of the rule for the admission OF his pro-
vision. This would have required a two
thirds vote of the Senate, and was some
thing that Mr.. Borah wisely did not even
hope for, although he was able by max
Ing 1t to place the Senate originally on
record on the subject The motion to
suspend tho rules was defeated. ayes

In addressing himself to the subject Of
the proposed removal of post Office CEN
sorship Senator Borah explained this
amendment did not propose repeal of
any of the Espionage act except the pro-
visions giving the Postmaster General
authority to exclude matter from the
mails which he might hold to be in VIC
lation Of the terms OF the Espionage act
These provisions OF the Espionage
act said Mr.. Borah. resulted in
complete censorship OF the American
press. IN my opinion IL Congress ever
should assume to usurp the power to es-
tablish censorship there could be no
more effective and successful method
adopted than that OF giving tho Post
master-General certain powers with ref
erence to the exclusion OF printed matter
from the mails. When the Espionage act
was first before Congress II provided
specifically for a censorship OF tho press.
a thing which seemed almost Incredible 10
be proposed. II was stricken out after
long debate. but this clause which had
the same effect remained In the bill
81 said in the Senate at the time that
II this clause remained in the bill Il
would mean Just as complete censor
ship az the clause which was intended
70 establish n censorship and practice
has demonstrated that was correct
statement. The way In which this re-
suited IN censorship was this: II an
article appears IN newspaper which
the Postmaster-General deems to be in
violation of the espionage law attention
is called 10 the fact by excluding the
newspaper from the mails and immed-
ately the editor or the publisher seeks
consultation with the Postmaster Cen
eral and obtains from him an fntirrRt ton
or guidance as TO what shall thereafter
appear In the paper and not he in viola
ton OF the law. That is complete sys-
TEN OF licensing the press.

There Is belief that this censorship
stll obtains. / do not know what the
opinion OF the Postmaster-General Is. for
] do not know whether he regards It as
closed or not. but there is a universal
belief throughout the country that II is
still in existence and that the law may
still be invoked. We might be willing to
yield upon such matters In the eXigency
OF war, but when peace has been re-
stored and We are dealing with our do

any restraint upon the mind Of the Amer

themselves upon these questions with

nothing better established as his
toric fact than the belief in the minds
OF the trainers OF the Constitution OF the
United States that they gave no power
whatever TO Congress 10 deal with the
subject matter OF the freedom of the
press or OF free speech. That was the
opinion OF the men in the constitutional
convention. II was the opinion Of Ham

The receptions and ovatlons that
Sgt. Alvin C. York is receiving
from all over the country makes all
Tennesseans feel proud. There is
no question about the great quail
ties of the man; he has not only
shown unflnching courage on the
battle field, but he is showing the
great man he is, by refusing the
tempting offers of money to go on
the stage or allow himself to be
shown in the movies. The real test
of bravery came when he refused to
see the agent of a Vaudeville Com
pany that made him an offer OF
800, 900 for six weeks show over
the country. 1t takes more courage
to refuse such offers than to face
the German bullets in the Argonne.
All honor to this stalwart man of
the mountains. He is one of the
great men of the age.
