demeanor of the delegates.
Although differences of opinion have
already arisen relative to the Danzig
question, the makeup of the commits
sion on mandates, the protection of
racial and religious minorities in Bal
kan states and the admission of Ger
many to the league with some of the
former allies, there was an evident
disposition on the part of all the dele

fairness and open mind.

present when NJ. Hymans appeared
on the platform and called the meet
ing to order A J. Balfour, head of

New-York tribune., 1920-10-15

the Irish problem, notably by Premier
mer Premier Asquith, received a fresh
impetus to-day when Mr.. Asouith hit-
terly attacked Mr.. Lloyd George, while
at the same time Sir Edward Carson,
the Ulster unionist leader, made an
equally acrimonious assault on Mr..
Asquith.
: Speaking at Ayr with reference to
the Premiers Welsh address, Mr..
Asquith declared that "all the Pre-
mier's fippancies and all his vulgari
ties have not diverted and cannot d.
vert attention from the outstanding
tact Of his confession of political bank
ruptcy"
Tie said that the Premier's speech
would be interpreted as at least con-
donlng the reprisals in Ireland.
Sir Edward Carson, on his part. in a
speech in London, asserted that Mr..
Asqulth at the most critical moment
IN the Irish question was attempting
to minimize the efforts toward q solu-
ton. man who would do that for
the purpose of gaining support for his
party issues, he declared, was a traitor
to his country.
Sir Edward, discussing the measure
put forward by the Premier for home
rule for the south and west counties
and another for Ulster, said that a ma
lorlty for this was secured, but he per
sonally thought it was cruel to the
people Of Ireland at present to try to
iead ireland into a political war for
independence. If once that war broke

given to disprose the various charges
of unfaithfulness against the Utility
Commissioners. Each step to oust
them was vigorously fought and legal
technicalities were raised to stay the
hand of tho Governor.
Among the formal charges on which
his action was based to-day Governor
Edwards named these:
"That the board failed to fix proper
and adequate rates Of depreciation for
each utility and to compel the utility
to set aside the moneys so provided
for out of the earnings, and to prevent
the depreciation fund to be expended
for other purposes.
THAT it allowed companies to divert
money from the depreciation fund to
pay dividends.
"That it showed favoritism and un-
due bias toward subsidiary Companies
Of the Public Service Corporation and
against other smaller corporations.
"That it allowed the Public Service
Electric Company to make retroactive
rates.
THAT it permitted the Public Serv-
ice Railway Company to put into effect

Gov. Edwards Keeps
Promise to Dismiss
Utility Commission
Neglect of Duty and Malfea-
sance in Office Charged
Against Four Ousted Men;
New Board Partly Picked

TRENTON, Oct. 14.-Governor Ed
ward I. Edwards, in conformity with his
prediction pledge, to-day peremptorily
ousted from office every member of
the State Board Of Public Utility Com
missioners. In his notice of immediate
neglect of duty, misconduct and NAL
feasance in office.
The board, numbering four members,
consisted of John W. Slocum, of Long
Branch, president; George F. Wright,
of Paterson; Harry L. Knight, Of Med
ford, and Andrew Gaul Jr., of Ridge
field. With the exception of Mr.. Slo-
cum, who is a Democrat, all are Re-
publicans.
Directly after their dismissal the
Governor called special session Of
the State Senate to confirm his appoint
ment Of three Democrats and two Re-
publicans. who will comprise new
board. The Democrats appointed are
Representative James A. Hamill, Of
Hudson County; Arthur A. Quinn, of
Middlesex County, president Of the New
Jersey State Federation Of Labor, and
Walter F. Whittemore, of Sussex Coun-
ty, member of the State Highway Com
mission.
Republican appointees will be an
nounced later
Immediately after their dismissal
each member of the board announced
he would fight for reinstatement
through the highest court in New Jer
sey.
Governor Edwards's action followed
exhaustive hearings on many charges,
which had their inception as far back
as the spring of 1919 During his cam
paign last fall the utility question was
one of the important issues which cul-
minated in the then nominees promise
that if elected his first official act
would be summarily to dismiss the en-
tire board. AS a first definite reason
he recited the board had lost the conf
dence Of the people through their own
acts of misconduct.
Much criticism has centered about
the executive because of his failure to
make good his pledge. 1t became
known yesterday, however, that since
early winter conferences have been
held at which much testimony was
