Be a Surprise to Hiram
Johnson, Who Is Due In
The Capital Tuesday

Senator Hiram Johnson is cx-
pected to be on the floor OF the
Senate Tuesday. after having been
recalled from the Western speech
making tour on which he was re-
ceiving remarkable personal ova-
tions. He left Minneapolis yester-
day
1t was freely predicted last
night that the Californian might
be much perturbed when he heard
that the treaty fight was due to be
taken out OF the hands OF the
Progressive group and placed un-
der the leadership of Senator Pen
rose. .- a,
Prssressives Did Work
Up to this time leadership OF the
opposition to the treaty has nom
inally been in charge of Senator
Lodge, but the real work has been
done by Senator'S johnson. Borah
and Poindexter. Senator Reed
Democrat) started out boldly in
opposition to the league of nations
The Republicans let him make a
number of speeches and then
dropped him. Reed was Robinson
Crusoed a week or more since.
A Tour That Ran Out.
Then johnson went on his tour.
Borah trailed him. They were to
JOIN forces in Omaha
The Republican standpatters be-
came alarmed at the personal trib-
that he was needed here to defend
his amendment to the pact they re-
called him. johnson hesitated
forty-eiGht hours at Minneapolis
before deciding to return.
While he is headed for Washing
ton. the news is given out that
Fenrose is to succeed Lodge as
leader OF the fight on the treaty.
Penrose has been busy in PhiladeI-
phia nominating his man for mayor
and. incidentally. smashing the op-
position to himself for reelection.
He is now rested up" and on We'd
nesdav or Thursday, according to
announcement, will take Lodges
place.
Lodge Lacking in Pep.
The excuse for deposing Lodge is
that the Massachusetts Senator Is
an effective debater, but lacks most
Of the qualities necessary to secure
desired amendments presentations. "
I'm that sort of business, Penrose
is an adept" the announcement adds.
What johnson, Borah and Poindex-
ter will say when they become fully
conscious that Penrose has been plac-
ed in control was the cause of gen.
eral speculation in political circles
last night.

BordentoWn Avenue May Be
Paved Next Spring
81 special Correspondent.


SOUTH AMBOY, Sept. 23,-Prev-
ious to the meeting of the Common
Council last night there was a con-
ference with the Board of Freeholders
in regard the pavement of Borden
town avenue. Director William S.
Dey and Freebooter Haight and Beloff
were on hand to represent the coun-
ty rs well as the county engineer. All
he local councilmen represented the
city's interests. When asked the
question in regard what was the in
tention of the council In regard the
paving of the street the councilman
told the Board hat before they
would sanction pavement being laid
that first all water mains, gas mains
and storm sewers should have to be
laid. Mr.. McMichales was then asked
how long this work would AXE and he
advised those present hat 1t would
not be good engineering to lay any
pavement before next spring thus
giving the clay a chance to set over
by the city. Mr.. Belof expressed his
approval of the engineers suggestion
and stated that he thought 1t was a
mighty good one.
Councilman Hackett suggested that
inasmuch as 1t was a county road 1t
might be of interest to the Freehold
ers to take are of the storm sewer
instead of. the city. He suggested that
perhaps he was asking too much but
he said 1t was better to ask for q lot
and get a little han ask for nothing
and get nothing. Freebooter Dey in
formed the Council that If the Board
could legally give any aid to the storm
sewer they would do 1t.

COAST OVER cOBBLE STONES
Sport in Madeira Has Many Advan-
taoes Over That to Which North
erners Are Accustomed.

Cobble stones may not appeal to the
uninitiated as ideal for coasting pur-
poses. but they admirably serve the
purpose 1t all depends on how steep
is the mill the cobbles pave. In other
words, 1t isn't the material that makes
the Slide" but the pitch of the slope.
Those of US who are accustomed to
sliding down snow-clad hills, or tiny
ascents made slippery by Ice know lit
tie Of the thrill a slide may possess.
For some measure of the delight In the
sport is frequently minimized by the
frigid air that rushes past our tingling
ears and some measure of the enjoy
ment is entirely lost by the chills that
grip u shivering bodies.
Imagine-if you can-the thrill of
coasting down a hill so steep that your
"sled" fi,s over the cobbfes much as
is would speed over crusted snow or an
Ice glare. Instead of icy air that al
most chills you to the marrow at the
thought. picture yourself in springtime
garments and famed by summer
breezes.
If you car imagine such a picture
You will have enjoyed at least some
part of the sport of coasting In an
island where there is no snow or Ice.
Down the c~obble-paved road the "sled'
flies. For ten minutes you fash along
in breath-taking rush, thsn you begin
to grow accustomed to tie speed and
the novelty Of the sport md you take
time to look about xoy
