ALLIED MILITARY HEAD
QUARTERS, NEUSS, March 10
Allied forces virtually have complet- :
ed the occupation of Rhine ports or
the Ruhr region. all that remains
few villages and important cross
roads. As yet commanding officers
have not arranged for division of oc-
cupied zones between the British
Belgian and French units gathered
along the eastern side of the Rhine
The soldiers engaged in the opera
tions were delighted with their mill
tary promenade. which was favored
by unusually fine weather. They
drew comparisons between the re-
ceptions here and in Frankfort last
year, and there seems to be a sort of
friendly atmosphere in the occupied
district.
A Dusseldorf paper said that if al
lied authorities followed out the lines
laid down in the proclamation by
Fen Dugoutee, the occupation of the
city would be "supportable.
General Gaucher in direct COM
mand of French units. has issued a
new proclamation saying, in sub
stance that the German delegates at
the London conference showed un-
willingness 10 observe the Versailles
treaty and that the allies were forced
to coerce the German government
to fulfill its agreement. He has laid
emphasis on the fact that the occu-
patton is not a hostile act against the
people, but has stated that the peo-
pie must obey any regulations that
may be laid down.

and the defendants wife. mother

for the defense. Leo Goldberger rep
resented the city at this hearing. and
Fred w. DeVoe represented the de-
fense. 1t is possible that evidence
given at this hearing may result in
at least one officer being brought up
on charges in the near future. Chief
of Police Patrick J. Burke. who was
In charge of the department when
Morgan was suspended. was not in
attendance at this hearing.

at the time. told similar story.
Chief of Police Niels j.. Tonnesen
answered various questions asked by
both sides, and told that he had been
unable to find the small report book
Officer Morgan used on or about
October 5. The statements of the
girls attempted to show that Nor

out in their testimony that Edward
Morgan was on duty from z o'clock
in the morning until 3 o'clock in the
afternoon on October and 5. They

SITE FOR NEW BRIDGE
NO HEARING HELD TODAY
ON METUCHEN BOOZE

United States Commissioner John
A. Delaney today announced that
the hearing in the case of william
Lillian, truck driver, who was ar
rested Saturday night at Metuchen.
charged with carrying concealed
weapons and Illegally transporting
fifty-seven cases of whiskey, would
not be held at o'clock this after
noon as scheduled. Commissioner
Delaney could mot say when the
hearing might be held. Those who
are inte. ested in the case feel that
in all probability an indictment has
been handed down by the federal
grand jury which sat in Trenton on
Tuesday, and for this reason no
hearing in the case will be held.
Lillian. who is twenty-five years
old, and resides at 1,227 Fairmont
avenue, Elizabeth, was arrested by
Patrolman Titus Schmelzter, of
Metuchen, when the truck which
Lillian was driving, punctured a
tire. The officeg walked up to Lii
liam, who was liking the tire and
jokingly asked him How many
barrels of booze have you in that?"
Lillian answered None" He grew
fiustered and this caused the officer
to grow suspicious and looking in
the truck he saw the liquor. Lillian
was released under $4,000 bail.

Vague Hints That Unrest Un-

[By The Associated Press ]

DUISBURG, March 10:-Vague
hints that work throughout the
Ruhr district of Germany will cease
within the next few days as imme-
diate result of occupation of Duis-
burg, Dusseldorf and Ruhrort and
the seizure of customs were made
by German mine operators, civil
officials and workmen here last
night.
There seemed to he little unrest
among workingmen last might, after
they had finished full days work,
and thousands gathered in streets
to watch curiously French sentries.
and to inspect the French machine
guns and tanks. They appeared
quite cheerful and showed no re-
sentiment at the allied troops.

clared there would not be. a strike

AMb0Y AVENUE
PLAN PUSHED
Mayor and City Engineer to
Go to Trenton Again to Get
: State Aid.

In an effort to have Amboy ave-
nue. curbed from curb to curb north
of the cemetery where, at present,
the road is in a dangerous condi-
ton, Mayor William c. Wilson and
City Engineer Morgan l.. Larson will
go before the State Highway Com
mission at Trenton next Wednesday
to see what aid can be expected from
the state in this matter. The local
officials will also bring before the
state board the matter of'doing away
with the curve sat the Spa Spring
section of the road, thus straighten-
ing the road between Woodbridge
and this city considerably.
This work will be financed jointly
by the county, city and state. II
has been brought before the free
holders and state at various times
but nothing definite has ever been
done although it is understood the
freeholders will give financial assis-
tance to the amount of $4,000 in
completing this work. The remand
der would have to be paid by the
city and state. If the state will give
some estimate of what its share will
be the city of Perth Amboy will be
in a position to carry out its end of
the work, 1t is pointed out.
Bridge Engineer Mead of the
State Highway Department. pointed
out at Trenton yesterday that road
leaving Amboy avenue at Koch's
farm and proceeding just west of
Alpine cemetery to Convery place.
would be almost in a straight line
and it is probable that this will be
the course travelled over Route in
few years. Owing to the fact that
the state cannot take over and con-
struct roads in cities having such a
large population as Perth Amboy.
it will probably be necessary for the
city to do this work.
Thus with the widening of Amboy
avenue and the elimination of the
Spa Springs curve the route through
this city from the north to the
bridge would be big Improvement
over the present Zig-Zag system
which includes grade and trolley
crossings as we'll as traffic across the
principal streets.
Some opposition was voiced in this
city against the new bridge site on
account of the automobile traffic
across Staten Island from New York
to the shore resorts, it being claimed
that these cars would have to pro-
ceed out Smith street. the busiest
street in the city, thus causing con-
gestion as far as Convery Place. En-
gineer Mead said it was his opinion
that large percentage of the New
York automobile traffic which
came by way of Staten Island would.
IN the future come by way of Jersey
City. Newark. Elizabeth and Perth
Amboy owing to the efforts, of the
highway department to keep Route
No. in good condition.
1t has also been pointed out that
cars coming into the city by way of
the Tottenville ferry can be diverted
north on Front street to Fayette
street and thus out New Brunswick
avenue to Convery Place. This would
mean two grade crossings but would
take the traffic from Smith and Mar
ket streets.

withhold Comment.

WASHINGTON. March 10.-Ad-
ministration officials withheld COM
ment on the statement made at the
French foreign Office that negotia-
tions were under way with regard
to the acceptance by the United
States of modified League of Ma
tions. The impression was given
that the initiative in such develop
ments rested with the French gov
ernment and in any event the matter
had not reached the stage of negoti-
tions.
Secretary Hughes refused to dis
cuss the question. 1t became known
that last Tuesday he had half hour
talk with Ambassador Jusserand
just before the presentation of the
diplomatic corps. Mr.. Jusserand is
the dean of that corps and at the
time it was understood the visit had
to do with the reception of the en-
voy Whether the object of the
league was preached has not been
made known.
President Harding has indicated
that his first steps in foreign affairs
would come after the formulation
of definite domestic reconstruction
program and that nothing formal
would be done until the attitude of
foreign governments had been felt
out tuIOuSn uHOuiCldl CildiIitlS.
Mr.. Harding has received consid-
erable information through unoffi-
cial sources regarding feeling of
European statesmen -and. 1t is ex-
pected that he will make a still
more exhaustive investigation be-
fore he launches his foreign pro-
gram.
Whatever steps France and other
nations take to inform him volun
tarily. are expected to fit in with his
general plan of procedure. The forth
coming visit of former President vi
viani on special missions. and the re-
turn of Ambassador Davis from Lon
don, are regarded as opening two
important avenues of information,
aside from those which the Presi-
dent is preparing on his own initia-
tive. 1t would not surprise those in
close touch with the situation if in
addition the President sent several
representatives abroad within the
next few weeks to make inquiries.
In the natural course of events the
reports would be expected to lead
later to more formal negotiations.
In such conferences as Mr.. Hard
ing has held with the secretary of
state. and congressional leaders. only
the more pressing foreign problems
are understood to have been consid =
cred. Such questions as the Panama
lombian treaty have pretty well oc-
cupied the Presidents attention and
his advisers on foreign affairs.
