To Prevent Move


VIENNA. March 30-The Aus
trian government is taking every
possible precaution to prevent for
mer Emperor Charles from re-en-
tering the country from Steina-
manger. In West Hungary, just over
the Austrian border where he is
reported to have taken refuge on
the estate of a Hungarian noble
man after his unsuccessful attempt
to induce the Hungarian regent,
Admiral Horthy TO turn over his
powers to him
II is rumored, however, that semi
official statements that Charles is
in Steinamanger are intended as a
cloak to cover the fact that he is
already en- route to Switzerland.
Armed guards from various or
Plantations have been stationed
along the frontier to intercept the
former emperor should he attempt
to recross into Austria.
"Tyhe little entente comprising
Czecho- acknowledging Slovia and
Roumania have served notice on the
Austrian government that troops
will be marched into Austria on
the slightest indication that former
Emperor Charles is to be permitted
to remain in the country. Dis
patches frcm both Belgrade and
Prague state that the Jugi-Slav
and Czecho-Slovak governments
win not tolerate his presence.

Is Contingent on State Aid
Received, Says the County
Solicitor Today.
STOPS AT WOODBRIDGE
Only Enough Money for Half
of Connecting Link, is the
claim Made.

IBy Evening News stan Correspondsnt.l
NEW BRUNSWICK. March 30.-
The paving of West avenue, Sewaren,
by the county is contingent on the
state aid received, according to the
statement made by County .Solici-
tor Frederick S. Richardson this
morning. The people interested in
this road. desire the entire road
which is connecting link between
Perth Amboy and Roosevelt to be
paved, but from present indications
only half of the distance will be
taken care of, and instead of pa1ing
the remainder, traffic will be turned
from the West avenue road TO Wood
bridge avenue, necessitating a long
detour.
After delegations from Perth Am-
boy, Sewaren, Roosevelt, Woodbridge
and other places in this vicinity. had
taken the matter OF paving this road
up with the board of freeholders and
the state highway department. it
was finally decided to consider paw
ing this road, with the county and
the state sharing in the expense.
The only public action taken to
date was the taking over of this road
as a county road. At the present tins
it is being planned to pave TINS road
from curb to curb, and inasmuch as
it will cost s650,0o0 tor this work
for one half the distance up TO
Woodbridge avenusa fwarer, it II
road win be paved The reason
given for this plan. is that the state.
il called upon to spend large
amount On this road. will not give
aid in repairing other highways.
If the one-half plan is carried out.
the road will be paved from Wood
bridge Creek bridge up to Wood
bridge avenue, Sewaren. In this case
traffic instead of continuing on this
road, will be switched to the left into
Woodbridge avenue. The Wood
bridge avenue road leads through
Woodbridge on the old concrete
road. This road matter may be taken
up at the meeting of the Board OF
Freeholders tomorrow.
The delegations before the county
board of freeholders and State High
way Department have always been
for pavement of the entire road, and
it is likely that they will not be sat-
isfied with the halfdone job. The
Perth Amboy Chamber of Commerce
played a big part in bringing about
action in regard TO this road.

Hungarian Government Did
Not Fall in With Charles
Plan to Take Seat.
HE VISITED BUDAPEST
Invited Regent to Turn Over
Reigns of Government, But
He Was Turned Down.
rBy The Associated press.I

BUDAPEST. March 3O:-Former
Emperor Charles of Austria Hungary
made a visit here with the idea OF
taking possession of the Hungarian
crown, but was unable to induce the
government to fall in with his plans.
Official confirmation of the fact Of
of the visit was supplied today and
numerous details developed from
various quarters. The former ruler
came to Budapest accompanied by
two friends. He arrived at o'clock
and invited Admiral Horthy, the
regent, to turn over the reins of
government to him. The regent,
however. after setting forth consti-
tutional and political objections, re-
fused the place and induced the
former monarch to promise to re-
turn to Switzerland.
Charles is reported to be at Stein
amander in West Hungary. near the
Austrian frontier. at which place he
stopped on his way to Switzerland
before coming to Budapest.
Fears were expressed here to-
night that a sahguinary conflict
might break out between support
ers and opponents of former EN-
peror Charles now at Steinamanger
castle, near the Austrian frontier.
He is guarded by the troops of
General Lehar. who is credited with
having fifteen thousand royalist
troops under his command
1t is reported here that General
Lehar is planning a forcible entry
into Budapest if the government
opposes restoration of the former
emperor.

Action of House Opens Way
to Neutralizing of Manda-
tory Features of Act.
WORK OF FRANK S0MMER
Utility Board May Go Outside
of Ford Co. and Use Other
Data.
[By Evening News Correspondent ]

TRENTON, March 30.-By an
amendment offered to the MacKay
bill, providing a review by the courts
of the valuation fixed by the firm of
Ford, Bacon e. Davis, of the proper
ty of the Public Service Railway
Company. now being completed, the
House of assembly yesterday opened
the way for the neutralizing of the
mandatory features of the Allen act
of last year. providing for the valua-
ton. That act would compel the
Utility Board to accept the appraisal
being made by the firm of experts
and to use 1t as a basis for fixing a
definite trolley fare to be charged by
the Public Service Railway Company
The action of the assembly IN
vide that the Utility Board may go
outside the Ford. Bacon &c Davis
valuation and may use other facts
and figures, is regarded by those
who have been following this sub
ject, as a great victory in the inter-
ests of fair play in the trolley fare
matter.
The amendment was adopted in
the House yesterday when the Mac
Kay bill was advanced to third read
ing and final passage. 1t is the work
of Frank Sommers, counsel for the
New Jersey League of Municipalities
and Jerome T. Congleton. counsel for
the city of Newark.
1t is also a victory for Senator
Parry, OF Essex county. who has been
pounding away and urging the re-
moval of the mandatory feature, of
the Allen act. Parry had a bill to
do this and it failed of passage in the
senate recently by one vote. Under
the amendment passed yesterday it
will not be necessary for the Utility
Board to be compelled arbitrarily to
accept the figures fixed by the firm
of experts who are now making the
valuation at a cost of 100000 to
the state.
The House of assembly yesterday
passed the annual appropriation bill.
carrying items totaling s15.946,795.-
03. The bill has already passed the
senate. 1t was amended in the
House so as to include 500. 900 for
the New York port development
program.
{. The House yesterday passed AS
sembly Bill 4S3. which carries out
the recommendation of the Special
Motor Traffic Commission, relating
to increases to be charged formotor
vehicle fees in order to provide ad-
ditional revenue for the maintenance
of county roads. The bill will boost
the fees about thirty-five per cent
and this provides an additional an
nual revenue at S1.20O.000 to the
state. The vote was 35 to 0 in favor
of the bill. The House also passed
the measure authorizing s50.000.-
600 bond issue to complete the State
Highway system and another bill on
the same lines for s14.000.000 in
bonds to care for the future needs
of the state institutions.

NEW DAYLIGHT
R. R. SCHEDULE
General Mixup Will Occur
Again This Year From
Present Indications, Belief

A grand mixup, In the opinion of
city officials, will occur this year
over the daylight saving time. Be-
cause the city of New York has
adopted daylight saving ordinance
the railroads are confronted with
making their commuters trains run
in accordance with the daylight saw
ing ordinance.
Now the Interstate Commerce
Commission has ruled that the rail-
roads in this region must operate
on Eastern Standard time, and in
order to do this and still meet the
requirements of the New York day.
light saving ordinance, the trains
will have to be operated an hour
earlier, although still operating on
Eastern Standard time.
In order that passengers may
familiarize themselves with the mat
ter, and thus avoid some of the con-
fusion that is bound to occur. the
Central Railroad of New Jersey has
sent out the following information
concerning the operation of trains
on its lines. This statement follows:

THE railroads are again confront
ed with the problem of daylight
having adopted an ordinance setting
the clocks ahead one hour for the
period of five months from Sunday,
April "a. to Sunday. September 25.
1921.
''The Interstate Commerce Com
mission having ruled that the rail-
roads in this region must be operated
on Eastern Standard Time. requires,
therefore, to meet the situation, that
the Jersey Central must of necessity
revise all of its schedules of those
trains which service it's patrons the
requirements of whose employment
and duties are affected or governed
by New York Daylight Saving.
For example: Train No. 334 now
leaving Perth Amboy on the present
schedule at 1859 A. NJ. will on the
revised schedule leave at 6:52 A. NJ,
and arrive in New York at 1855 A.
NJ. (S:55 A. NJ. daylight saving time.)
In the opposite direction. and
for example,: Train No. 333 now
leaving New York at 5:3S P. NJ. will
upon the new schedule leave at 4:3S
P. NJ. (5:sS P. NJ. daylight saving. }"
No Action Here as Yet
Whether this city will adopt the
daylight saving time or not is a
question just at the present time.
A communication has been received
from the Raritan Copper Works re-
questing the city to adopt n day.

that of New York, but no action
has been taken as yet other than
referring 1t to a committee of the
whole.
The matter has been referred to
the commp ptee as whole. and II is
understood no action will be taken
until it is earned what action will
be taken by the state legislature,
