SCRAP BETWEEN EDGE
AND APPL LEBY REPORT
BY GEORGE H. MANNING

WASHINGTON, Dec. IS. - A
scrap is certain to ensue between
Senator Walter E. Edge and Con-
gresham 7. Frank Appleby of As
bury Park over the appointment of
a postmaster at Red Bank, N. J.
President Harding sent to the SEN
ate yesterday the nomination of
George r. Treux for postmaster at
Red Bank. The nomination was
made on the recommendation of
Representative Appleby. Senator
Edge will not permit the confMma-
ton of Treux by the senate Because
he wants another man appointed.
This episode marks the first open
evidence of Senator Edges efforts
to strengthen his political machine
in New Jersey in preparation for
the contest for his reelection in
1924.
Edge and Appleby talked this ap-
pointment over several weeks ago
each knows the others position. Sup
piled with the names of three men
who were eligible for the appoint
ment. Mr.. Appleby recommended
appointment of his friend, George f.
Treux, knowing that Senator Edge
would not allow his confirmation be-
cause he wants William A. Sweeney
to have the job.
On Oct. "a, 1922, the Civil Service
Commission examined the applicants
for the Red Bank postmastership
and on December 14th certified that
William A. Sweeney, George W.
Bray and George r. Treux were elig-
ible.
Mr.. Appleby is opposed TO Swee-
neZ,s appointment because the latter
did not favor Appleby in the primary
of 1870. Sweeney is editor of the
Red Bank Standard and man of
high standing and character.
Treux is superintendent of mails
at Red Bank and has been in the
service there fourteen years.
The leaders of the Edge faction in
Red Bank have decided to back
Sweeney for the appointment and
Senator Edge has agreed to endorse
their views. In the absence of SEN
ator Edge. who is on his honeymoon
in Europe, the appointment will be
held up in the senate awaiting his
return.
Ultimately. it is expected, the nom
ination will be Withdrawn and the
President may send in the name of
Sweeney, Senator Edges choice.

WASHINGTON sixty-sixth
birthday anniversary-Decem 2S,
1922-finds Woodrow Wilson again
in the edge of the political spot
light
Whether that spotlight again VIII
swing to put the former president
in the center of its radiance is TO
many the most engaging question
before America today.
There seems little doubt that Will
son today is physically better than
at any time since his collapse in
1919.
Though his left side still is partly
paralyzed, Wilson now is able to
stand without his cane and he even
walks a few steps in his garden
without its aid. His color is better.
He has taken on weight.
Abreast of Affairs
And there are evidences that his
stronger physical condition is per-
mitting more active following of
national affairs.
Wilson has been writing letters on
public uestons-notably on the
late elections. Also his Armistice
Day speech to admirers gathered at
MS nome revealed he does not yet
concede defeat in the cause in which
he sacrificed his health, and indica-
ted his expectation that American
participation in world affairs would
become the dominating issue IN
1924.
wilson unquestionably is the lead
er OF the Democratic party TODAY.
Hls hold on the minds and hearts Of
the rank and file of his sartv has
oeen strengthened by his illness and
ny the difficulties in which the world
mas found itself the last two years.

FAULTY PISTOL RESULTS
IN ESCAPES AND DEATH


DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 2S.-A pis-
tol that would not fire for a jail
guard played an important part last
Sunday in the escape of seven pris-
oners from the Wayne county Jail.
Reliance on the same faulty weapon
was responsible in a large measure
for the death early today of Joseph
Ryan, the convict who wrested it
from the guard as he fled from the
Jail. 1t refused to work when Ryan
and three other fugit:yes were cor
nered in an apartment house last
night and a detective fatally shot
him and arrested his companions,
Ryan, leader in the Jail delivery,
died shortly after midnight, after
admitting a part in several daring
robberies since his escape.
A wooden key found in the pock-
cts of one of the captured men
solved the mystery of their escape,
the sheriff's office announcing it un-
locked a door leading to the main
corridor.

NEAR EAST CONFERENCE
CRISIS IS REACHED

LAUSANNE. Dec. 2s-(By the
Associated Press)AThe Near East
conference was faced, with a sertcus
crisis today as the sharp and appar-
emily irreconcilable conflict between
the English and the Turks over the
Mosul oil fields reached decisive
stage.
Lord Curzon's statement that 'the
turning point of the conference had
come and declaring that Englard
would decline to continue the Mosul
controversy, was in direct confii~s
with Ismet Pasha's note asserting
that the Turkish people had decid-
ed ito employ to the last limit of its
forces all means to obtain the re-
turn of Mosul to the nTotherland.
Between these two extremes
there is a gulf which seems likely to
be difficult, if not impossible, for
the conference to bridge.
