Logical dispute. She made her

Indians for 40 fathoms Of white
wampum, 20 hoes and i0seoats.. !
The name Of this island was
changed to the Isle OF Rhodes,
probably after the famous Greek
island Ia the Mediterranean.

known as Rhede Island. In 1852
Charles II gave Rhode Island
very liberal charter, and this. Te-

with only 1,248 square miles, it

which is more than those Of. a
number Of states of much larger
territory.

ing and entertaining program was
presented by the pupils of the local
school in the school auditorium re-
Gently in connection with the first
meeting of the Parent-Teacher As
ISOLATION for this year. The pro-
gram consisted of twenty-four num-
bers, including Rotations. solos,

scented by the pupils in a very salts
factory manner. Each pupil carried

ner and the mothers applauded
loudly for the children.

SANITATION here e. given great
encouragement in their tasks by the
large turnout of mothers at the first
meeting.
The chairman introduced Mrs.
Albert L. Gardner, president of the
Parent-Teacher Association of Fords
and also a member of the township
board of education. Mrs. Gardner
had a heart-to-heart talk with the
mothers, emphasizing on the neces-
sity of a parent-teacher association
in this district to bring about more
cooperation among the pupils
teachers and parents. Mrs. Gardne;
related to the Fords organization
and it's rapid growth and the good
results already obtained therefrom
She urged the mothers to come out
and take an interest in the organiza-
ton and saw no reason why Hope
lawn could not have as good an or
g%anization as other districts in the
township.
John III. Love, supervising princi-
pal of township schools, also gave q
stirring talk on the good of an or
ganization in this district.

to thank the many mothers and
others who so willingly contributed
to the Thanksgiving fund used in
helping the poor and to provide food
for the poor families.

meeting of the Parent-Teacher As
ISOLATION was repeated Wednesday

WET NAMED
AS CHAIRMAN
William Evans Head of House
Assembly Conference
Committee

TRENTON, Nov. At. Harry
Rowland. OF Camden. selected by
the Republican caucus which met
here November Is. as speaker of
the House of Assembly for the
forthcoming session, todey appoint
ed William Evans, of Paterson, a
wet" as chairman of the confer
ence committee. The caucus at
their meeting, resolved that a COM
nittee of five be appointed to con-
fer with a similar committee from
the senate regarding the introduc-
ton of bills in the coming session
in keeping with the party platform
adopted bY the convention October
4. The other four members of the
committee are former Speaker
George s. Hobart of Essex; Arthur
y. Piersh. of Union; George w
Guthrie, of Mercer, and Speaker
Rowland. The resolution as adopt
ed provided that the speaker and
the majority leader should be mem
bers OF the conference committee,
Speaker Rowland also appointed
a committee of five to be known as
the stationery committee OF the
House. The craftsmanship of this
committee was given to Assembly
man George w. Guthrie, of Mercer.
The ether members of the commit
tee of five are, Willard T. Gibbs,
of Camden; John w. Cliff, of I'm
ion; Harry Runyon. of Warren, and
Frank II. Welsh, Hunterdon. Mr..
Runyon and Mr.. Welsh r the only
Democrats on the committee.
1t is likely that the conference
committee will meet jointly with a
similar committee from the senate
in the near future to discuss plans
for the Introduction of bills for the
carrying out OF the platform of the
Republican party which was adopt
cd at the convention
Although nothing authentic has
been said. it has been reported
about the corridors of the state
house that a concurrent resolution
will re introduced providing for a
referendum vote on Van Ness act
and for ratification of the eigh-
teentk amendment. A similar bill
was introduced last year. but failed
to ONE up for a vote. However.
it is said that the Anti-Saloon
League would not be in sypathy
with sl.ch n measure.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-11-25

TRENTON, Nov. 25:-Aceording
to present indications there will be
Sufficient votes in the next legisla-
ture TO so amend the Van Ness en-
forcement act as to restore the much
discussed jury trial for violators OF
prohibition and probably eliminate
the other features of this act which
have been the subject of criticism.
The Anti-Saloon League. on the sur
face, would appear to have a sum
cient number OF dry votes in ootn
branches Of the legislature to keep
the law intact, but there is appar-
entity a move on foot among kepuD-
1ican leaders to line up South Jersey
support for the proposed amend
ments TO the act. Its repeal OUT
right is not looked for at the next
session.
South Jersey assemblymen and
senator's. with the exception of At
lantic and Mercer. are always dry
but the unpopularity of h Van
Ness piece of legislation in the
northern end of the state is thought
to be the reason for the leaders tax
ing a hand to convince their party
representatives from the southern
end of the state that they should
vote to amend the law in the coming
session as a matter of party exped-
iency and to save the Republicans
from defeat next year. Former Gov
ernor Stokes recent statement on
the results of the election and the
Van Ness act is a barometer of how
the leaders feel on this subject n
is a criterion of what they are IN
derstood TO be urging the "drys OF
the CT o. p. to do at the coming ses-
- wrffh rnananf m this
ment measure.
Assemblyman Blizzard, OF Cum
berland county, which is in South
Jersey, ran at the last election on
the Republican ticket pledged 10
amend the law in question. He IS
expected to be Joined by probably
the representatives from Salem.
Cane May and several other oun
ties. thus giving enough votes from
the Republican side, joined with the
Democrats to insure in the House
changes in the act. The leaders in
f1uence which is understood to IN
clude that of David Baird. of Cam
den. will probably make itself felt
among dry Republican senators or
the upper body to insure the passage
of the amendments there. The hght
be closer in the upper branch,
Dut the u. ". Z. CHlellidno AONN ~
the realization of their aims.
The pilots of Republican fort
unes in the state knew that If each
branch of the legislature, Republic
in complexion, can amend this
law. Governor Edwards will have
to sign the bill which carries the
changes. The executive is commit
to approve all liberal and So
called .wet'r legislation and he
could not stand in the way of the
plan of the G. o. P. to gain what
it may regard as an advantage

See Enough Votes in House
To Amend Van Ness Act

through passage by a lawmaking
body controlled by it, of changes
in the Van Ness act TO meet the
views of the North Jersey senti-
ment.
However, before the next session
on the Legislature convenes the
supreme court may have spoken on
the merits of this law. Justices
Trenchard, Bergen and Minturn
now have the arguments made by
counsel for each side here recently
before them for a decision on the
constitutionality of the act. 1t is
reported that Justice Mtnturn is
writing TIE decision end also
has it that 1t will be a ruling agains:
the measure. However. the deli5-
Grafton of the supreme court are Sc
oretive and there are no advance
tips" as TO what may be h views
of this tribunal with respect to any
case argued before it. The fact
that Justice Minturn is known to
have been pronounced in his views
with respect to jury trials in other
legal disputes has probably given
rise to the talk that a decision
against the Van Ness law might be
expected.
Whichever way the court decides
this case, it is likely to be appealed
TO the court of errors and appeals
which will not convene again until
the first Tuesday of next March.
This action. therefore, would hold
up the effect of the supreme courts
ruling until the rrors court, the
tribunal of last resort. had spoken,
which would not be until probably
some time in the spring, unless
there was an immediate decision.
This would not likely happen, so
that the lawmakers next winter will
undoubtedly be called upon to take
a stand on amendment to the act
before the subject is finally disposed
OF by the high courts of the state.

whereby the ratio of government 4
nancial participation in road construc-
ton in the eleven great public land
states of the West will be greatly

burden in road building. The amend
ment refunds on the basis of govern

Western states, Nevada will be very
favorably considered i'll the matter

Should the amendment be adopted this
state would receive $ll.o5 fedora
money against every Sl.00 expended

was clad in his usual faultless attire,
light shoes, etc. He was taken below
the sloughs on the Schurz road. and
told to have the sack and lights ready
