IBy Herald Leased wirc.J

Albany, N. V. March 31.-The for
NAL ousting of the five suspended
Socialist assemblymen was assured
by a bipartisan deal between
Speaker Sweet and the Democratic
minority in the State assembly to-
night. Early polls indicated that
the majority report of the assembly
judiciary committee, recommending
formal ousting. would muster be-
tween so and 80 votes +
The original plan of voting Upon
the ousting of the Socialists as a
group was abandoned on a motion
by Simon Adler, majority leader, to
consider each Socialist assemblyman
separately.
Up till a late hour tonight. after
a stormy and acrimonious session.
the fight over the adoption of the
majority report, centered about Gov.
Smith. Agents of the governor on
the floor of the assembly sought
vainly to save him from the respon-
sibility of either calling or refusing
to call a special election to replace
the ousted members.

Assemblymen Martin McCue and
Peter J. Hamil, Democrats, of New

Socialist five, took refuge in the
fact that the debate could be pro-

that the formal vote would bear

tionists until Friday noon to sur
render their arms. If by that time
they have not submitted to con-

cabinet, will send orders to the
troops now taking up concentric
positions, to advance into the dis
trict, suppress the rebels, and re-
store constitutional authority re-
gardless of the threats of a new
general strike, and Notwithstanding
Frances inexplicable attitude"
In these words a members of the
Mueller cabinet summed up to me
this afternoon the government s
policy towards the insurgents in
Westphalia- He had just attended
a cabinet meeting at which this
policy was decided upon.
Face New Complications
1t developed today that aside
from the revoIutionaries' falling to
heed the governments first ultima
tum. which expired at noon yes
terday, other complications have
arisen.
The story that France had given
her consent to the German govern
ment's using troops to quell the
Ruhr rebellion as told to me yes
terday by DR. Gessler, the minister
of defense, proved today to have
been a telephone misunderstand-
ing" between Berlin and the Ger
man charge d'affaires in Paris.
The news that the governments
understanding of Frances decision
was all wrong has quite upset the
equilibrium at Wilhelmstrasse and
occasioned some bitter comment.
1t was authoritatively stated to-
day that the troops are hard to
control.
The secretary of the German en-
bassy at Paris, in repeating a con-
versation he had had with Premier
Millerand, had not been correctly
understood at this end of the line.
Merely willing to Listen.
The French premier had not, as
reported. committed himself favor
ably to Germany's plan of sending
troops to Westphalia. He had mere
ly stated he was willing to re-
ceive representations on the matter.
Today it is stated on government
al authority that the French gov
ernment actually considers occupa-
ton OF Westphalia by German gov
ernment troops unnecessary and
dangerous"
The government has not made this
public yet. the explanation being
that to do so would serve to en-
courage the revolutionaries to re-
sist at a moment when they are
about to give way under pressure
of the encircling troops. as well as
to moral influence and the hope
Iessness of their present condition.

Dorothy Ann, the little three year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. E. L.
Foulks, had a very narrow escape
from drowning Monday afternoon,
when she fell into the cistern of the
house which they recently moved into.
The little girl was down cellar with
her mother, who was busy working,
when she stepped onto the door of the
cistern, which in some way did not
happen to be securely fastened and
she dropped into the water. Her
mother heard the noise and immedi-
ately summoned some neighbors, who
brought a ladder and managed to get
her out. It seems that when she came
up after falling in, that she grabbed
hold on a water pipe in the cistern
to which she was hanging when res
cued. This was the only pipe in the
cistern and it is still conundrum how
she managed to get a hold on it, as
it was quite distance, from where
she fell in. .-'<, zt.as.+

COx's Answer

"Having had considerable exper-
fence in the publication of newspapers,
both country and metropolitan, and
having worked in all phases thereof,
I have some very definite ideas about
the proper conduct of newspaper
plants, with full recognition Of the
service the press of the country has
rendered to government in all times
and the marked aid rendered in all
needs of war. look upon the press
as an arm of the government. l rec
ognize, however that the success of
the press is in sense because of its
recognition as a public servant. When
a newspaper fails to realize it's eX-
istence under public franchise and for
gets its duty to the public in support
of all good causes, that newspaper is
doomed to certain and swift failure.
1T is the province of the press to
set watch on public contract as an
honest critic. It would most assuredly
weaken the newspaper in its present
aspect as an agency for good to SIM
ply convey information on public mat
tiers in way only that might be paid
for by public funds. I can think of
no one thing so subversive to the pub
lie good as to permit the building up
of a self advertised bureaucracy in a
government by means of system Of
governmental advertising, no matter
how honestly intended it might be-.
II do not care to categorically reply
to your queries in regard to the Sen
ate Committees report on print paper
without a more careful analysis of
that report. l have no hesitancy
whatever in saying to you that there
must be a decisive governmental ac-
ton for relief Of the print paper sit
uation, especially as it is applied to
the small country paper"
The issue is clean cut. Harding
stands fatty for government adver-
Using. Cox seems to stand fatty OPP
posed to it. Harding stands for for
ward looking print paper policy pledg-
ing the government to protect the
country press. Cox says there must
be decisive government action for re-
lief, but does not care to pass upon
the report of the Senate Committee
on Manufacturers.
