District Delegates - Mon
mouth Attitude the Same

County Clerk Bernard NJ. Cannon,
from the third congressional
district for Democratic delegate to
the Presidential convention, in a
statement this morning declared that
both Governor Edward l. Edwards
and Charles Mcdonald. the Monmouth
county Democratic chairman, had
personally told him that neither were
behind Senator Thomas Brown in his
fight for the nomination a. delegate.
Both the governor and the Monmouth
county leader. Mr.. Cannon declared,
assured him that they were taking no
sides in the matter.
Mr.. Cannon said this morning that
he had received an invitation from
Governor Edwards to meet him at
Trenton on Tuesday. This he did, he
declares. and was assured by the gov
ernor that the state executive was not
behind Senator Brown In this fight.
The governor, Mr.. Cannon said,
cratic committee had endorsed
Brown but he said they had
made a mistake in so doing.
Charles Mcdonald, recognized lead
er of the Monmouth county Demo
Gratis, met with Mr.. Cannon, the lat
ter said this morning, and also as
sured him that neither Sheriff Elmer
II. Geran nor any of the other Mon

HERSHFIELD CALLED TO TIME
FOR NOT ADVANCING BILL
Action Taken on Senate Allen Bill Civ
ing Bugbce Appointment of State
Vehicle Commissioner

TRENTON, March 18.-At the di-
rection of State Comptroller Newton
A. X Bugbee, Senate President Case
and Republican Leader Allen called
House Leader Hershfield to time for
not advancing the Senate Allen bin
to give Buebee the appointment of a
a 5000 motor vehicle commissioner,
by transferring the present motor We
hicle department from the secretary
Of state TO the state comptroller's of
fee.
The nomination Of Thomas Il. Mar
tin, for another term of five years as
secretary Of state went into the sem
ate yesterday, was referred to the SEN
ate judiciary committee and will be
confirmed probably next week. The
general impression at the state house
that William l.. Dill will be reappoint-
ed by Martin Is taken at its face
value notwithstanding the argu-
nlents advanced by Republicans that
Din should be retained by Martin, Bug
bee IS now pushing the bill 70 give
him the appointment of the next com
missioner.
House Leader Hershheld told the
Senate leaders that enough votes
could not be secured this week to pass
the bill desired by Bugbee. 1t may be
advanced next week when the session
gets under way.
Diliatory tactics or the assembly in
temporarily side-tracking senate bills
also came in for censure by the sem
ate leaders in their confab with Hersh-
field. There will be a compromise
here between both houss with the
result that senate bills will be given
earlier consideration in the House pro-
vided the senate accords the same
courtesy TO the measures originating
In tn lower branch.

BIZ The A ssoctdted Press.
WASHINGTON, March 1S:--Re-
suming consideration of pending
reservations to the peace treaty the
senate soon after meeting today re-
jected forty eight to twentyseven a
reservation presented by Senator
Reed, Democrat, Missouri, which
would reserve to the United States
for decision questions affecting Its
national honor or its vital interests"
The senate then defeated another
reservation by Senator Reed provid-
ing that the United States would re-
fuse to assume any obligation to em-
ploy its military or naval forces, its
resources or any form of economic
discrimination undor any article of
the league covenant.
Final vote on ratification of the
peace treatv loomed eminent today.
While plans were not being made for
showdown before tomorrow, and
perhaps, not until Saturday, senate
leaders were prepared TO put the pact
to a. test Immediately. if all the re-
naming reservations were disposed
Of.
A night session was regarded as
likely In event 1t seem possible to
bring conclusion to the famous con-
troversy which has been before the
senate many months.
The presence of William Jennings
Bryan and his Influence to persuade
the Democrats to accept the best COM
promise they could obtain on the res
ervation, submitted by the Repub-
licans, so that the treaty might be
ratified, before the Presidential elect
ion, gave added uncertainty to the
outcome of the ratification vote de-
spite the almost solid alignment OF the
minority yesterday against the Len
root reservation to declare this coun-
try's policy toward future European
wars.
1t had been hoped by the Republi-
cans that the reservation, declaring
this country would view with grave
concern" any menace to European
peace would mitigate resentment over
the reservation to article 10 sufficiently
to attract substantial Democratic sup
port for ratification with the qualifi-
cations to which President Wilson has
taken exception, but on the roll call
only two Democrats We're counted
among the twenty y-five votes for the
reservation defeated by thirty-nine
negative votes.
Other reservations voted down durS
ing the day were two relating to Irish
freedom, one relating to the British
protectorate over Egypt, and one de-
cIaring the armistice terms still bind
ing.
About dozen reservations remain
to be acted on but all are concerned
with minor questions unlikely to pro-
woke much speechmaking. Debate has
been limited to fifteen minutes for each
speaker on each reservation.

SIMS CONCLUDES
HIS TESTIMONY
Makes 13 Specific Counts inl
His Indictment of Navy De-
partment's Conduct.
b. The Associated Press.


WASHINGTON. March 1S:-Con-
cluding his long arraignment of the
navy departments conduct of the
war Rear Admiral Sims laid before
the senate investigating committee
thirteen specific counts in his indict-
ment charging mistakes and costly
delays.
Reiterating his declaration that
his criticisms were aimed at no In
dividual, but that responsibility for
any failures" rested upon the navy
department as an organization, Ad-
miral Sims says:
"If I have shown that there was
lack of conviction or clear under
standing on the part of the navy de-
partment as to where its efforts
should be directed; If I have shown
that the navy was hampered by a
lack of preparedness, by lack OF es-
sential plans, and by being held back
In the beginning; If l have demon
strated that victory was won not be-
cause of these errors but in spite of
them, and that such errors were only
nullified by q. combination of circum-
stances which we would be fool
hardy indeed to count upon in the
future-then I viii feel that L have
been fully justified in submitting my
letter (to Secretary Daniels) of Jan
uary z,
Ii any individual was responsible
Admiral Sims says, the fact would
| necess sarily have to be developed by
persons who knew the inner work
ings" of the department during the
war
The adoniral's summary of his
charges follow:
Ia uf1V
had been going on for nearly three
years. and our entry into II had been
imminent at least from February z,
1917, the vessels of the navy were
not ready for war service when the
United states entered.
That the first few months after
America entered the war We're eX-
tremely critical ones for the whole
allied cause, due to success Of enemy
submarines.
'''That thas critical situation was
made clear to the navy departm ent
q. few days after America entered the
war and repeatedly thereafter by
cables and letters supported by inde-
pendent advices to the governm ent
from the American ambassador In
London and by Mr.. Hoover.
''That the navy department sup
piled me with no plans or policy COW
ering our participation in the war
for three months. after our entry
therein.
THAT having information as to
the critical situation OF the allies, the
navy department did not promptly
assist them and thereby prolonged
the war by delaying the sending OF
anti-submarine vessels, none reaching
Europe for nearly month after war
was declared and two and one-haif
months elapsing before thirty vessels
arrived.

Crowds In Ugly HumOr.

PARIS. March 1s-Omcial advices
from Berlin describing conditions
there Wednesday, said the public
places were filled with crowds In an
ugly humor. The military appeared
to be of a panicky disposition. Many

socialists, reported to have 10000
armed men at their command.
The situation in Germany is more
obscure than ever this morning. Little
reliable news came out of that coun-
try during the night, but the position
of the Ebert government seems to be
growing stronger, whiio the move
ment led by DR.. Kapp has definitely
collapsed. President Ebert seems to
be facing a situation almost as diff
cult as when Spartacanism first ragged
In Berlin, but it Is evident the old
government does not intend to lose
any time in acting.
Orders We're given for the arrest
of DIR. Kapp and General Won Luett-
weitz last night. Up until 3 o'clock
man national assembly. including five
independent socialists had arrived in
Stuttgart.
1t was announced in today's session

port the constitution. Members of
the German popular party. which is
the old conservative organiza ton, met
yesterday to discuss participation in
the government elections for the
Reichstag will probably be held be-
fore July l.
The foreign office reports declare
that the Won Luettweitz party under
cover of the Spartacan movement is
endeayoring to form a coalition min
istry including independent socialists.

of the snakes that st. Patrick
chased came to Perth Amboy yes

y The roundsman took the snake,
which is about two feet In length,
down Smith street to State street

Perhaps 1t was beginning to
breathe for it's second life, thought
the policeman, so he dropped 1t,
struck 1t another blow and let it

PIONEERS HEAD
 THE SAMSON CO.

s.We are very apt to associate in our minds the word pioneer only with the dead and gone heroes of the early west; the men who crossed the continent in prairie schooners. fought Indians and hewed homes in the wilderness. The word has a romantic, adventurous sound that brings up pictures of long haired, buckskin- -clad, eagle-eyed men with long rifles over their shoulders" !" says J. M Stewart, distributor for Sam son tires.
 Tt is right that we should rever ence these men. They made it possible for us to be here today, enjoying all the soft ease of modern life in this the most wonderful part of the greatest country in the world.
 ''But we don't want to forget, in the acceptance' of the easy life we have to- day. that we have men among us who are just as truly pioneers as the men of the early west. Pioneers Of indus try men who are fighting against just as heavy odds though not for their lives. for their industrial lives, for the very existence of their projects.
 Such men have given us the Samson tire. Mir.
