 Foundering Point
rRepublloan A. p. Leased WlreJ


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-The Fordney emergency tariff bin had reached the laundering point when the senate adjourned tonight until Monday.
 Republican leaders at a confer ence agreed next week to endeav- or tO again secure an agreement for vote, and 1T unsuccessful, 10 attempt cloture.
 That both plans were virtually certain of defeat was stated pri- vately by Republicans. who said that in the event of failure they would be compelled to lay aside the measure in favor of other pressing business. Such a course. they con- ceded. probably would mean it's de- feat.
 Under the plan decided on by the Republican leaders, Chairman Penrose of the finance committee would be authorized Monday again to ask unanimous consent for a final vote.
 It Is said that he would propose Feb. IS. Expecting objection from Democratic opponents to voting on a fixed date, Republican leaders said it was agreed that, following an objection, Senator Penrose would present a petition for cloture. It is said to have the signatures of all but six Republican senators here.
 With two thirds vote necessary to invoke cloture, something which Republican leaders admitted prob ably could not be secured, the vote on 1t would come Wednesday.
 If the cloture petition is voted down, Republican managers said, it would be demonstrated that pas sage of the bill would be impos- sible

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Jan 29.-Although Nicaragua did not sign the treaty ne- gOtiated at San Jose, Costa Rica, this month providing for the creation of a Central American republic, ratification by the congress of the four signatorv countries is expected in time to have the new federation come into existence before September IS. Dr. Julio Bian chi, Guatemalan minister, announced tonight.
 By the treaty, Guatemala, Honduras Salvador and Costa Rica would be merged under the new federation. Nicaragua, it was explained, withheld signature because she did not wish to surrender certain rights. especially as to the treaty making power. but a pro- vision was inserted to permit her ad- mission at any time.
 fhe treaty. which would ultimately create a republic of more than 5.000,000 people, provides for a government modelled after the constitution of the United States with three branches, the executive. legislative and judicial, al- though the executive is more on the Swiss system. A constitution em- bodying these provisions would be framed at a convention to be called when three signatory countries have | ratified.

Will Remove Uncertainty

Washington. Jan. %. Fixing of Germany's separations, treasury off cials said tonight, should go far to- ward removing the uncertainty in Eu- rope. If a certain incorle can be as- sured the allies, they said, the process of unwinding the tangle left by the war can, in their opinion, proceed with good prospects of success.
 Except indirectly, however, officials said, the fixing ofthe separations would be without effect on the liquidation of the $10,000, 100000 war loan to allies by this country. The moral effect oi the settlement. they contended, might somewhat accelerate payment by the allies.
 The United States, officials said, had consistently held that no scheme fol 8aurN .Sng the allied loan would bC acceptable which made payment con tingent on Germany fulfilling her rep arations obligations.

SAY REMOVAL OF GERAN
is NOT A DISMISSAL
BY GEORGE III. MANNING
Washington Correspondents OF the
Perth AmhOY EVENING NeIXS.0

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The De-
partment of Justice in calling upon
Elmer III. Geran for his resignation
as United States district attorney for
New Jersey, wishes to make it plain
that this is in no way a dismissal, but
only in pursuance of the regular
plan of calling for the resignation of
district attorneys after their four
year terms have expired.
In this instance Geran's second
f~our-year term expired in June, 1t
was said, and he has already been
allowed to serve six months more
than district attorneys are usually
allowed to hold on.
The letter to Mr.. Geran was sent
from the department December IA
and his resignation is expected to be
sent in within the next few days.
When the resignation is received the
attorney general will ask Senators
Frelinghuysen and Edge to recon-
mend a Republican successor.
Senators Edge and Frelinghuysen
stated today they have not given n
thought to the appointments; have
not discussed the matter between
them and have not in mind anyone
for the place.
Several lawyers made application
to the senator's six or eight months
ago for the place but none of them
were men of prominence. it is said.
and no steps were taken to get them
the place. 1t is unfortunate this
place only pays about $4,000 a year
and that men of a calibre fitted for
it, cannot usually afford to make the
financial sacrifice.
