REPUBLICANS MAY NOT
START MoVET0 "CURB"
POWERS OF EDWARDS
Interference Of Edge and Poor
Leadership on Floor Of
House by HershfieId Causes
Situation.
BIZ Special Correspondent.

TRENTON, Jan. 14-Interference
by United States Senator Walter E.
Edge with the affairs of the New Jer-
sey Legislature and poor leadership
by ASsemblyman Henry G. Hershfle d,
of Passaic, the Republican floor lead
er in the House, have led to situation
which will likely result in a decision
by the Republicans not to attempt to
pass legislation to curb the power of
Governor elect Edwards to remove
state boards or individual members OF
them from office.
s. There is open resentment in the
Legis ature because of the activity of
Edge and his friends to protect Edge
appointees to state board in office
and there is an open revolt by the
House Republicans against the
leadership there of Hershfield.
These two deve' opments have
brought about a bitter breach in the
Republican ranks and it appeared
reasonably certain at noon today that
because not enough votes can be
mustered to pass any kind Of legisla-
ton to curb that removal power of
the Governor, the series Of five bills
proposed by some of the Republicans
will not Seven be introduced.
Members of the Legis' ature who
are in position to know what they
are talking about declare that the
hand of Edge Is plainly visible In the
effort to curb the power of removal
of Governor Edwards and that he is
particularly interested In the matter
so that the present Public Utility
Commission will not be disturbed in
office.
Edge was in Trenton yesterday
and shortly after he appeared mem
bers of the Atlantic, Passaic and
Bergen delegations in the house be-
gan to insist that the curb" legisla-
ton proposed specifically provide
that members of state boards shall
be removed from office for neglect
Of duty or misconduct. The interest
of Atlantic county, which is Edges
home county, is to protect in office
all men appointed by Edge when he
was governor.
Bergen county wants to curb Ed
wards in order to protect Utility
Commissioner Gaul, Edge appointee
and Bergen county man. Passaic
county wants to protect Utility Com
missioner Wright. an Edge appointee
early today that If the curb" bills
are introduced there will not be
more than twenty-four votes for
them in the house, which number Is
seven shy of the total necessary to
pass bill in the house. This de-
nectton or seven votes Is confined
exclusively to Republicans who were
at first willing to amend existing
laws SO that the governor could not
remove boards until after charges
had been made and hearing had.
In the senate the five Republicans
who are known to be lined up
against the curb" legislation are
Pilgrim of Essex, Runyon of Union,
White Of Burlington, Whitney of
Morris, and Bright of Cape May
These five Republicans with the six
Dem ocratic senators, making q total
of eleven votes against the curb"
bills and without a change lineup, it
will be impossible for the partisan
measures to get through the senate
provided they happen to be intro
duced in the house.

FOR RUSSIAN PORT

KEEL, Jan. 13-The United States
army transport Budord. carrying a
party OF aliens deported from the
United States. left here for an un-
named Russian port at 7 o'clock to-
night.
The Finnish legation here was un-
willing today to express an opinion on
the trans shipment through FINLAND
OF undesirable aliens deported from
the. United States as seemingly an
agreement has been arranged between
the United States and FINLAND re-
garding the radicals deported aboard
the American army transport Buford.
1t was learned that the Finnish
government and people are apprehen-
sive at the prospect OF having several
more such ships unloading In their
harbors for it is feared that although
communication with the deported
aliens is prohibited their continued
passage would make an appeal to GER
tain classes in FINLAND. where inter
nal peace is mainly due to the pres
cnce of volunteer guards.
In some quarters the opinion Is eN-
pressed that FINLAND already has
suffered enough from Bolshevists and
IBolshevism and, as an outpost against
the Reds should not be troubled with
the additional menace incidental TO
handling Americas undeslrables.

Find Eight Barrels of Wine
In Saloon; For Church
Purposes, OtUner Says

Following up a tip received stating
that Joseph Seemann. a saloon keep
er at 400 Smith street, had received
eight barrels of whiskey from New
York yesterday, Internal Revenue
Collector James J. Curran and officers
John H. Martin and William Clooney,
of the local police force, last night
visited the saloon in question and con-
Quoted an investigation. A search of
the place revealed the eight barrels
but an investigation Of the contents
showed that instead of containing
whiskey they had wine.
Seeman was charged with having
brought eight barrels of wine in vio-
lation of the national prohibition act,
the wine was seized by Inspector Cur
ran. Seeman was not arraigned last
night but will be brought before
United States Commissioner John A.
Delaney shortly.
The trip to the saloon was made
between 10 and 1890 o'clock, Inspec-
tor Curran coming from New Bruins
wick upon receipt of the "tip" that
Seeman had yesterday received several
barrels of liquor.
The barrels contained Rhein wine,
which Seemann claimed had been pur-
