JERSEY ASSEMBLY

Plan Dividing Legislative Pa

litical Tangle

Trenton, N. j., Jan: 10.-A COM
mittee of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis representing the newly elected
members yof the House, of assembly
failed. afterta conference. here last
night, to break the deadlock over
the speakership and clerkship of the
House resulting from the tie men,
bership in that Body as a conse-
quence of the last election
The fight will now go to the floor
of the House when the Legislature
meets Tuesday and both sides will
contend for this important office
and the control of the assembly.
The situation is similar in the Sen
ate where the Republicans who are
in the majority have deadlocked over
the selection of a president and the
Republican senators are to confer
Saturday in an effort to effect COM
promise.
The House conference committee
last night considered a tentative
plan for the distribution of about
$2S,600 worth of patronage in the
way of legislative offices and this
plan, which was proposed by Ralph
n. Kellam, Republican on Camden,
the senior member of the House will
probably be accepted by the Demo-
Gratis as it embraces an equal divi-
sion of the salaries and positions be-

use his authority to force the with

Paderewski is working hard and
making appeals to patriotism. He
declares that he himself is willing
to sacrifice every ambition if only
a cabinet can be formed. which the
Allies can recognize and extend aid
to with safety to themselves, as they
fear that certain sort of cabinet
would lead to headlong Bolshevism.
General Pilsudshi and other lead

the Director General to pay off obli-
cations already incurred in opera
tion and equipment.
Early inthe night it became apparent
that the bill had been chosen as the
principal object of attack by the tili-
buster and as the night wore on SEN
ators Martin and Underwood. who
were in charge of the bill, gave up
hope and resigned themselves to its
defeat. They had conceded earlier in
the day that the following bills also
would fail:
Army, Navy, Agricultural. Sundry
Civil, Indian and District of Column
bia, all of which carry large appro-
priations.
1t was a surprise to them to find
that the deficiency bill had been SINH
larly engulfed in the maelstrom OF the
filibuster
Senators had been told by Director
General Hines that passage of the bill
at this session was imperative. Al
obligations for which the appropria,
ton was sought were incurred a Ions
time ago, and Director Hines ex-
planned that serious results might fol.

Hoped to Force Session.
This statement tended to encourage
the leaders of the flibuster rather
than fill them with alarm. They felt
that If the bill were of such great i'm
portance its defeat might force the
President into calling an extra session
sooner than he desires. So they talked
on and on throughout the night and
the life of the session drew steadily
to a close.
Several attempts were made to break
up the flibuster by taking the Sen
ators off their feet. Under the rules
of the Senate it requires nothing short
of a parliamentary trick to do this.
Each attempt failed. Senator Sher-
man, the last speaker. refused to yield
for consideration of conference re-
ports, resolutions or anything else.
Senator Chamberlain pleaded in vain
with Senator Sherman to permit an
executive session, so important ap-
pointments made by the President
might be considered. The Senator re-

lesser appointments failed of confirma-

their Offices under recess appointments
until Congress meets, when their
names must be again sept to the Sen
ate for confirmation. 1t is doubtful if
the next Senate will confirm Williams
in view of bitter opposition to him.
Elevation of Surgeon General Noble
to be a major general in the regular
establishment Of the army also failed
of confirmation.
In addition to the appropriation bills
which died on the calendar, there were
a great many bills of almost equal
Importance which were refused action.

All Legislation Blocked.

The last day of Congress was
marked by one of the most spectac-
ular and successful flibusters on
record. From 10 o'clock on Monday
morning until the hour of adjourn
ment not a single piece of legisla-
tion was allowed to pass. The time
was taken up by speeches by Sena-
tors Sherman, La Toilette and
France, all Republicans. who had
made up their minds after passage
of the Victory Loan bill that they
would not permit any other meas
ures to become laws. They talked
all day Monday, all Monday night
and up to fifteen minutes before
noon yesterday.
Some notably long speeches were
made by the filibusterinE Senators.
Senator La Toilette spoke from 1
a. m. to 5:15 a. m, Senator France
from 5:15 to 1880. and Senator Sher-
man held the floor from 1880 to
11:45, giving way only to permit a
vote on the resolution demanding
rehabilitation of soldiers now on
American soil.
The Senators talked about every
subject under the sun. During the
night few of the Senators remained
in their seats, but by 8 o'clock this
morning most of them. refreshed by
few hours sleep, returned to their
seats and remained to the finish.
Although 1t had been generally
understood that Republican Sena-
tors were prepared to inaugurate a
filibuster to prevent passage of the
army and navy bills and the sundry
civil bill, it was not believed that
the general deficiency bill, which
was before the Senate, was in any
danger. This bill carried the ap-
preparation of s750,00o,000 for the
Railway Administration, to enable

CARE IN PLANNING EARTH ROAD

In view OF the present widespread
activity In every form OF road build

are laid out originally as earth roads,
the Bureau Of Public Roads OF the
United States Department of Agriunl-
ture emphasizes the bearing that the
location and design Of dirt roads have
ON future highway improvement. In
locating and designing public roads
the following considerations should be
borne in mind:
Sharp curves should be avoided be-
cause they are menace TO traffic.
The width should be ample for We
hicles to pass each other without leav-
ing the Travelled w.,
II road ever becomes OF any con-
siderable Importance. It's users proba-

eral topography of the region which
the road traverses.
