Legislature Doings

TRENTON, Feb. 23-One more
bill was introduced in the Assem-
bly, last night, in spite of objection
by Democratic Leader Gaede under
the resolution requiring unanimous
consent for the introduction of new
bills this late in the legislative game.
The measure was submitted by As
semblyman Dater for the commits
sion appointed last year to study
school tax reforms, and was receiv-
ed as the committees report.
The measure would give the. State
Commissioner of Education power to
distribute ten per cent of the nearly
$4,000 received from the mill school
tax among poorer school districts,
at his discretion on recommendations
by county school superintendent.
At present this ten per cent goes
back to the counties from which it
came in the basis of ratables.
The bill is the first step which
has been made in the House toward
the Relation of a well-developed
plan to extend relief to rural school
districts by centralizing the dis
tributing power at Trenton. Rural
county educators are in favor of such
Capitalization, while the school men
of the more populous and wealthy
counties are opposed, so that a con-
test IN the bill, without cnsidera-
ton of party lines, is likely to de-
velop. Opposition to further CEN
~tralization of authority in the Tren-
ton Education office was declared
to be the policy of the Republicans
this year at their early procession
conferences.
RiIIS Passed Over Veto
Four bills vetoed by Governor
Edwards, were passed over his head
by the House today. The Republi-
cans recessed the House and went
into conference before taking this
action, and Democratic Leader
Gaede remarked, in opposing the
second passage of the bills. that he
his opposition was futile.
IT presume" he said, "the Republic
cans retired to get up steam for the
old steam roller"
Two Republicans, Hobart and
Mrs. Laird. of Essex. refused to vote
for hte second passage of Hersh-
fields bill to add four committee
clerks to the House patronage list.
All the Democrats voted mo" of
course. The bill went over 36-14.
The other bills put over against
the governors veto were Assembly
man Pascoe's two bills designed to
give the Republicans control of the
Elizabeth city government. and

FINED FOR BEING DRUNK. And Walter Smith Wanted to Turn Tables on Prosecuting Witness.

There is a saying in the good book advising against "biting the hand that provides food and drink but this biblical wisdom isn't applicable to conditions these Volsteadian days. At least Walter Smith of Vandervoort doesn't think so, for he was not only willing Monday to bite the hand that provided the drink, but to have the rest of the body arrested in addition. 1t all happened in Justice Sam Smiths court. Smith was on trial charged with having raised a Christmas eve row at the home of Enoch Golden at Vandervoort. Smith is not only said to have been under the influence of that whitish liquid forbidden by the statutes, but he also possessed an un- loaded revolver which caused just as much fear and trembling as tho it was in prime shooting condition. Golden caused Smiths arrest on all the charges possible, and when the case was called Monday the defend ant asserted pointedly and emphat- icaliy that his unusual behavior was due to moonshine liquor Golden had sold him and Golden just as firmly and emphatically denied being boot legger and anyhow he was there as a complainant and not as a defendant. Which view Justice Smith upheld and there being sufficiency of evidence regarding the Vandervocrt mans un- lawful behavior, the court decided a fine of S10 and costs would be ahout right. Smith was also placed under S750 peace bond to be good here after.

ARMS CONFERENCE
 OVER THE WORST
France Accepts Submarine Principle in Principle, the Last of the Pre- dominant Issues-Britain AL
 ready Agreed.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The American proposal to prohibit use of submar- ines against merchant vessels, now the predominant issue of the arms negotiations, has been accepted in principle by France, but her dele gates have reserved final approval pending a discussion of the precise language of the declaration.
 British acceptance previously has been given, and aItho neither the Italians nor the Japanese had re- ceived final instructions, there were indications that neither Rome nor Tokio would interpose serious objec- tion if the proposal received France's full approval.
 The exact nature of the French reservation was not revealed but the impression was gathered in some quarters that it might concern such a definition of the terms of the dec. laration as would make it clear just what conduct would be expected from merchantmen in view of theii immunity from submarine attack.

SENATOR TALKS OF
 ACR|CULTURALbLOC
Capper Declares It Is Group of Sena- tors Who Seek to Aid Country's Farmers, Says Farming Industry
 in Worst Condition of History.
(Ry International News Service. ,

Washington, Dec. 29.-The agri- cultural bloc came into being as a logical result of the situation exist ing among the farmers of the country and will dissolve itself into thin air immediately that situation is solved according to Senator Capper, of Kan sas.
 He declared all the alarm about this group of agriculturalists in the national legislature is without ade- quate foundation. In his annual mes- sage, President Harding complained about this bloc, and Secretary Weeks also recently took a whack at it. Capper said the group was not a de- fiance of anything or anybody, but was merely for the purpose of seeing that the farmers got what was due them. He said the farming industry was in state of absolute collapse at the present time. Farms capable of producing thirty-two billions of new wealth annually ars in the very worst possible shape, he said. Both young and old men are getting away from the soil to go to the cities and those who stay behind cannot afford to buy seed, tools, etc. Neither can they afford to pay the present wages demanded by farm help. These con- ditions resulted in a tacit understand ing among Senators from the West and South, both Republicans and Democrats, to do everything in their power to relieve the farmers.
 Senator Capper said that the American farmer was today the only business man in the world who always sells at wholesale and always buys at retail
 Tt was not the agricultural bloc which put over the emergency tariff measure, but another group Capper said. He declared senators who thought alike on any given question were warranted in getting together and working as unit. He pointed to New England manufacturers, New York bankers and other industries which took similar means of obtaining desired legislation in Congress.

OFFICER PARKS, SHOT NEAR
 0CTAVIA, DIES OF WOUND
Bill Kimberlin, Who Did the Shooting, Not Expected to Recover--De-
 tails of Affair,

Deputy Sheriff Carl Parks of Oc- tavia, Ok, died Monday from the re- suit of the shot fired into his body by Bill" Kimberlin, a well known bor- der character, Saturday. The death by the wounded officer, is momentar- fly expected.
 According to latest information re- ceived in Mena, where both Parks and Kimberlin are known, the double shooting was the direct result of moonshining activities on the Arkan- Oklahoma borden. Parks, as deputy sheriff of Le Fibre county, had a warrant for the arrest of Kim berlin and went out to arrest his man Saturday.
 When the officer encountered Kim berlin, the latter was on a horse, and expecting arrest, inquired if Deputy Parks had come after him. Receiv- ing an affirmative answer, Kimberlin extended his Winchester rifle as tho to surrender the weapon. As Parks reached to grasp the muzzle, Kimber- lin fired. The 38-calibre bullet struck the officer in the lower part of the ab- domen and ranged downward. As Parks fell he kept hold of the rifle, and this, with the jumping of Kim berlin's horse, also threw him to the ground.
 Kimberlin jumped up and started to run, when Parks, who retained the gun, turned it upon the fleeing man, and when the first cartridge failed to explode worked the lever and threw another shell into the barrel The second shot travelled with deadly ac- curacy and Kimberlin fell, shot thru the thight near the hip. The leaden bullet smashed the bones of the mans legs in such manner that it was considered inadvisable to operate up- on him, and his recovery is doubtful. Five doctors were called to attend the wounded men. Dr. D. w. Connally and Dr. J. L. Nelson of Cove were among those summoned. Despite their care, Parks died about o'clock Monday morning.
 Evidence is said to have been se- cured that Kimberlin was one of the men operating big still between Smithville and Octavia, and it was for participation in this alleged violation of law his arrest was sought

New York Expects More Deaths to

New York, Dec. 9O.-The worst is yet to come--this is the view of New Years eve taken by city officials still dealing with the dead and injured laid low by wood alcohol in Christmas drinking bouts.
 The police were still seeking the source of the poisonous liquor with which the city has been deluged dur ing the holidays, causing eleven known deaths and presumably a num- Der of others which have not received official notice because the victims died without medical attendance.
 Notwithstanding the death roll, New Workers continued to swallow bootleg of unknown origin, as if warming up for the heavy drinking with which the new year is usually ushered in to the city. The latest victim was a man who tumbled into the East river Belleview hospital alone has received forty-nine liquor patients snce Christmas eve and pri- vate hospitals have had their quota.

NEW SILVER DOLLARS
 COMING OUT TUESDAY
Have Head of Liberty on One Side, Dove With Olive Branch and

Washington, Jan. 2.-The new sil- yer dollar of the 1921 design--the peace dollar-will be ready for dis tribution Tuesday.
 Coinage of the new dollar is being rushed by the Philadelphia mint, treasury officials said, and the first dollar of the new series struck off has been presented to President Harding.
 The new dollar has the head of Liberty on one side and on the other a dove upon a mountain top clutching an olive branch, struck by the rays of the sun, with the word Peace" be- heath it.
 This is the first change in the de- sign of the dollar since 1878, officials said, and will remain as the design of the dollar for 25 years unless changed by Legislation, as the coinage laws prohibit any change in the design of the standard silver dollars more often than once in that period, except by special legislation.
