The snow storm which visited us,
Tuesday, seems to have been general
throughout the northwest In Chicago
more snow fell than at any time since
1867. Reports from all parts of Wis
consin, Minnesota, Iowa and most of
Illinois, give accounts of the prevalence
of the storm. Trains are impeded,
telegraph lines are down, and much in
convenience caused 1t is reported
that there are three feet in Minnesota,
two in many parts of Wisconsin, one
in northern Illinois, and so on to the
southwark, where it dwindled off into
rain with unusual cold. At the north
freshets are feared, and at the south
fruit prospects are regarded with some
solicitude.

GERMANS OPPOSE
PlEBISCITE PLANS


BY fIe Associated Press.
BERLIN, Nov. 30.--It is probable
the upper Silesian plcbiscite, the
date for which has been fixed for
next month. may be so arranged that
Germans residing out of Silesia and
stu entitled to vote will be com
PEELED to cast their ballots at Colo
gne, either before or after the vot-
ing takes place in the plebiscite. This
report which comes from Paris, has
stirred up some opposition here on
the ground that such a plan would
be a violation of the Versailles and
unfair to Germans.
Newspapers generally feel the ex-
clusion Of Germans from the plebis-
cite area, but encourage the Poles
to greater activities in the plebiscite
and would have a tendency to in
timidate Germans. The Vossische
Xeitung sarcastically accuses the
ententes of being Afraid it will be

Bic TERMINAL
REPORT AGAIN
Talk of Shipping Center to be
Located at Cheesequakes
is Again Revived.

Is central New Jersey to become
the shipping center of the United
States?
This is the question that is being
asked by many people, and rumor
has 1t that 1t is. The section which
is said to have been decided upon
for the huge shipping terminal is
situated on the Raritan bay, cover
ing the entire waterfront from the
Cheesequake creek at Morgan to the
Matawan creek, near Keyport.
Everything in connection with the
huge project is kept a secret, al
though it is known that the territory
said to be included in the terminal
has been gone over by a corps of
engineers who made their headquar-
ters in this city while the surveying
and other work of this nature was
going on.
Whether the project is a govern
ment one or one of private inter-
ests, no one seems willing to say,
but ii has been rumored that some
of the biggest railroads in the coun-
try are interested in the project. The
huge terminal, according to the re-
ports that have gained circulation,
will be modern in every way, out
doing any terminal now in existence,
both in the manner in which stuff
will be handled and the movement
of vessels.
OF course, new channels from the
main cht mel from Sandy Hook will
have to be dredged, but this work
has been taken into consideration,
and the mud taken from the bottom
of the bay will be deposited in the
low places along the water front.
which will aid in the construction of
the docks.
According to reports, everything
will be done by machinery. cars will
be run out on concrete docks to the
sides of the ships, where they will
be unloaded onto the vessels. 1t is
said that with the terminal in op-
Grafton ships can be loaded in less
than half the time it takes to load
them at present.
Recently engineers were at work
on the meadows at Matawan, and
when questioned as to what they
were doing stated they were survey
ing for canal. This is also thought
to be something in connection with
the project of which so little is
known.

Total
Have Two Views

owing to the fact that this liquor
could disappear. as though it had
flowed into a sewer. in SO short a
time. two views are taken by the
prohibition enforcement division
here in regard to recent decision of
the supreme court in the William
G. Street case. in which Street was
permitted to withdraw his booze
from New York commercial ware
house for personal use.
One view is that the internal
revenue bureau should open wide
the flood gates and let the booze be
withdrawn from the warehouses as
quickly as possible. The other
opinion is that the bureau should
construe the right to withdraw Ii
quor for personal use in cases eX-
actly like the Street case. and draw
the lines still tighter around the
booze in the bonded warehouses.
The view taken by John Kramer
is that the booze in the warehouses
should not be turned loose. The
ruling is now being prepared. That
kramer's view will prevail is a good
bet.
The present supply of liquor Will
last only two more years at the rate
1t is being withdrawn under strict
enforcement" When the eighteenth
amendment took effect January 16.
1920, there were 1900, 900 gallons
of liquor in storage, and in less than
u year 22.5O0.000 gallons have been
drawn out for medical. scientific
and sacramental" purposes. Only
one distillery is now running.
