SAY GERMANY DEFAULTS
IN LUMBER DELIVERY

PARIS, Dec. 27 (By the Associat-
ed Press. 1.-The notification to the
allies by the PREPARATIONS commission
that Germany had defaulted in the
delivery of telegraph poles and lum-
Der, provided for in the schedule of
payments and deliveries on repara-
tions account, fixed on May 10, 1921,
is regarded in French official circles
as making applicable the article of
the treaty of Versailles authorizing
the allies to proceed to take reprisals
and put into force economic and
financial measures as a penalty.
The matter will come up before
the conference of premiers next
Tuesday, when Premier Poincare
will propose that the allies in turn
formally register Germany's default
but reserve the question of the ap-
plicability of the penalties clause of
the treaty. 1t is improbable that he
will demand action before January
15, when the next cash payment is
due from Germany on the repara-
tions account.
The French government will MAIN
tain at the premiers' meeting that
Germanys failure to deliver the
lumber and telegraph poles must be
regarded as evidence of her deter
mination to resist carrying out all
her reparations obligations. The
government experts declare Ger
many's default is purely voluntary,
as she has state forests from which
the deliveries could be made without

FARE GUT ASKED
| BY TROLLEY CD,
Jersey Central Files With UtiI-
ity Commission Plea for
Scent Far
INSTEAD OF 10 CENTS
Also Would Discontinue Sale
of Low Rate Communication
Tickets

The Jersey Central Traction Com
pany, which operates trolley cars in
Middlesex and Monmouth counties
has filed a passenger tariff effective
January 1, 1928, with the Public
Utility Com mission, making the fare
eight cents, in each fare zone, in
stead of ten cents as now charged,
and discontinuing the sale of the low
rate communication ticket.
The notice which has been posted
throughout the territory served by
the company is signed by William H.
Hitchcock, general manager of the
company and points out that this re-
duction is made in the hope that
sufficient revenue may be had t.
continue the operation of the prop
erty, otherwise abandonment must
follow.
The notice reads as follows:
1.-THE Jersey Central Traction
Company has filed with the State
Public Utility Commission a pass
enger tariff effective January l.,
1923, making the fare eight cents in
each zone where ten cents is now
charged, and at the same time dis
continuing the sale of the low rate
commutation ticket
Both the ten cent fare and COM
mutation tickets were experimental
for a period of six months from
June, 1922. In adopting these rates
of fare it was hoped that the resi-
dents of the territory served would
patronize the service and thus stim-
ulate travel, justifying the low rate.
This hope has not been realized; the
use of the Communication ticket has
been insignificant and in no way a
stimulant to travel.
During the past several years op-
Grating costs of the Jersey Central
Traction Company have been cur
tailed as low as possible and vet
keep the property in safe operating
conditions. Despite these economics
during the eleven months of the cur
rent year 1t has not earned its op-
Grating expenses by $4,000. When
interest on funded and floating debts
and other fixed charges are added
the deficit exceeds 100000.
This reduction in the fare from
ten to eight cents in each zone is
made in the hope that sufficient
revenue may be had to continue op-
GRAFTON of the property, otherwise
abandonment must follow.

HALL MURDER
PROBE GOESO ON
SiIzer Says He Will Give Case
Attention When He Be-
comes Governor

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. 27:-
Complaints of residents of New
Brunswick that Special Attorney
General Wilbur A. Mott has not
been sufficiently active in the prose
cution of the Hall-Mills murder
mystery were referred to Governor
elect George S. Silzer today with the
query as to whether the governor
elect would continue Mott as special
state prosecutor after his Inaugural
ton.
"I am not governor yet" Mr..
Silzer replied, "and don't intend to
borrow trouble. I know less about
the mystery than any other person
in New Jersey because have been
too busy to familiarize myself with
it. However, you may be assured /
will give the case my attention after
I become governor"
Mr.. Mott, who was here today,
emphatically declared the case had
not been dropped. He refused to say
what course his Investigations were
taking and whether he would permit
Mrs. Frances N. Hall, widow of the
slain rector, to make her proposed
trip to Europe.
Miss Sally Peters, close conf1daLt
of Mrs. Hall and who has been liv-
ing at the Hall residence ever since
the murder, today said that Mrs.
Hall had completed arrangements
for a prolonged European tour and
that she was planning to sail for
Italy in about two weeks.
County Detectives David of Middle
sex county and Totten of Somerset,
have again taken up the Hall-Mills
case. They worked on new leads
all last night and today said that
they had developed several new an
giles to the mystery. They refused
to state, however, in what direction
the new information led, simply
stating that the case was shaping
up nicely" and that the solution OF
the mystery was imminent.

NEW BOAT IN
SERVICE HERE
New Craft Starts Here With
out Mishap-Is Given
Noisy Welcome

The new ferryboat Charles w
Galloway of the Staten Island RAPID
Transit railroad, for use between
this city and Tottenville, arrived
here yesterday at noon and was
placed on the route. The new boai
was brought down from st. George
by Captain Harry Martin and Chie1
Engineer John Mcdonald, and tbs
first trip out Of this city was made
at 1885 O'clock yesterday afts moor
! and the boat has been operating or
route ever since
Parrorman Michael Burke, the
traffic officer at the ferry, had the
honor of plotting the first autom obile
aboard the new craft to make the
trip over the sound. The car was
owned by Samuel Schultz of Boston,
Mass, and carried Massachusetts
license 266364.
When the new craft arrived it was
greeted with blasts from the various
craft and the different plants along
the water front. The first night run
over the sound was made under diff
ficulty in one of the worst fogs seen
in this section in years last night
and this morning. There was no
mishap during the fog which lifted
shortly after 8 o'clock.
The new boat is a fine addition to
the service of the concern. 1t Is al
most the exact duplicate of the fer
ryboat Perth Amboy which was built
fifteen years ago and has been oper-
ated almost continuously since that
time. The only difference is the
steam stearing gear and the steam
hoist for taking the ashes from the
fire room and the gangways for We
hicles are wider than the Perth AM
boy. This makes the cabins on each
side of the boat slightly narrower.
The Charles w. Galloway, named
for the vice president of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad which con-
trolls the Staten Island Rapid Tran
sit, is six feet longer than the Perth
Amboy and its dimensions are 1856
feet long, and Sc IL feet wide, with
a hold of IL feet II inches. The ves-
sci is of wooden side wheel type, es-
pecially designed for automobiles.
1t was launched the latter part of
June at the plant of the American
Car and Foundry Company at Will
mington, Del, and was ohristened
by Mrs. William Dickey, a daugh-
ter of Vice President Galloway. 1t
was completed at that place and
came north two weeks ago with
Chief Engineer Mcdonald in charge.
Shortly after the arrival of the
new boat yesterday afternoon the
Perth Amboy was placed in along
side of the pier of the Perth Amboy
Dry Dock and will later be taken to
the company's plant at Clifton. S. l.,
to undergo extension repairs and
overhauling.

Attorney Carman said that he
would fight any effort at extradition
on the part of the governor of Louis
lana. The former district attorney
declared that he believed that there
was no prima facie charge of muir
der against the former mayor and
he expressed the belief that the
Louisiana officials called for his ar
rest here because they wanted him
more as a witness or for the pur-
pose of obtaining possible informa-
ton from him.
"Dr. McKoin did not fee from
Louisiana after the trouble at Mer
Rouge" said Attorney Carman. "He
remained there for many weeks after
the death of the two men. He was
with his father thirty miles away
from Mer Rouge from August until
October when he came to Baltimore
at the request of DR.. Hugh Young,
who offered to permit him to asso-
ciate with him at the Johns Hopkins
Hospital.
"The mayor placed himself at the

education. The teachers OF the
public schools have already contrib
uted over $700 to this fund and the
Rotary Club has been asked to help
the cause. The club some time ago
decided to render what assistance
it could and it is proposed now to
map out a plan of action.

delinquent boys of Perth Amboy the
following committee was appointed
to take charge of the matter:
George w. Fithian, Arthur Stern.
George Stiliwell, Ernest Wadley,
Samuel Shull and Walter War;.
They are to meet and decide on
their own line of activity with the
assurance of the backing of every
member of Rotary.

The main thing the committee is
interested in at the present time is
the transportation of the children
to and from the Madison avenue
clubhouse where the party is to be
held. Everyone who can loan his
or her automobile on this occasion
should have same in front of the
clubhouse at 5 o'clock.
One crippled child from a dis
tant part of the city made its way
downtown this morning SO as to be
sure of being on hand for the party.
The child was taken back home in
an automobile and faithfully prom
ised that car would call for her
this afternoon and take her to the
clubhouse in plenty of time for the
party.
The event this evening promises
to be an even more successful one
than the crippled children's outing
which was held during the summer
under the auspices of the commit
tee of which Mr.. Pickersgill is
chairman. The outing was the be-
ginning of the real work of the local
