"While living in small western
town a few years ago, my husband
purchased an automobile. Upon in

placed a five-gallon pail on top Of 1t.

NEW LIQUOR ACTION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-(By The
Associated Press)-The machinery
of the Federal government has been
set in motion to ascertain whether
any foreign embassies and legations
here have brought into the country
excessive shipments of liquor which
later was diverted into the boot
leg trade in the national capital.
AS a result of recent disclosures
by the Washington police, who
charge openly that some foreign en-
voys are using their diplomatic i'm
munity to supply bootleggers, the
authorities are understood to call
attention to certain unusual ship
ments" of liquor coming to embas-
sizes and legations here.
While no formal protest concern
ing shipments was made high treas
ury officials said today that several
shipments in recent weeks were OF
such magnitude as to attract the
attention of prohibition enforcement
officers. The treasury was repre-
scented as believing that more liquor
was coming in than was reasonably
required by the stats of the for
eign representatives here.

WEST JERSEY PRESBYTERY
WOULD FIX TEACHINGS

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25:-The
P~resbytery of West Jersey, which
embraces most of the southern half
of New Jersey, has fled with the
stated clerk of the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian church an over
ture asking the General Assembly to
"direct the Presbytery of New York
to take such action as will require
the preaching and teaching in the
First Presbyterian church of New
York City to conform to the system
Of doctrine taught in the confession
of faith"
DR.. Lewis S. Nudge, stated clerk
of the General Assembly, said to-
day that the West Jersey P~resbytery
took this action on January 16, and
that the overture was filed as a rou-
tine matter for submission to the
General Assembly.
The overture does not mention the
name of the Rev. DR.. Harry e. Fos-
dick, who is pastor of the New York
church. 1t states that in a sermon
preached in the pulpit of the First
Presbyterian church on May Fl,
1922, many statements were report
ed to have been made which seem to
us irreconcilable witt important and
fundamental doctrines taught in the
Word of God, and the confession of
faith-of the Presbyterian church, u.

Last fall the Philadelphia Presby-
terry adopted a somewhat similar
overture.

CONTINUE CONTROVERSY
ON TOTTENVILLE BRIDGE

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 25:-In
a statement issued today Assembly
man Fred w. DeVoe replies to the one
of Mayor William c. Wilson publish
ed yesterday in which the assembly
mar was asked certain questions by
b AYnboy executive. The contro-
versy is in regard to credit for pro-
posing a bridge or tunnel between
Tottenville and Perth Amboy.
The DeVoe statemert follows:
IF we can get a bridge or tunnel
built between Perth Amboy and
Tottenv1lle there viii be enough
credit to be passed around and 1 will
be n OF the first to SEQ that Mayor
Wilson gets his share.
He knows / do not claim to be a
pioneer in this project but simply
want it understood that three years
ago l did something definite toward
a survey for the erection Of a bridge
Or construction of a tunnel between
Perth Amboy and Tottenvil1e and
that something definite was in the
form of two bills introduced in the
assembly by me and referred to a
Republican controlled committee
which s~nothered the bills I exerted
every effort to have the committee
make a report.
Mayor Wilson said that years ago
several men, including himself,
walked yer the bridge to political
victory Or off the bridge to a glorious
defeat advocating the bridge or
tunnel. l asked him what they did
after election towards carrying out
their idea. Mayor Wilson evidently
political history, but he
forgets his story book lore. Robin
Crusoe was not written by a
named DsVoe, but was written
~ an author named DeFroe.
SIN reply to Mayor Wilson's com
rnent about my family tree, if it Is
OF interest 10 Mayor Wilson, I may
add that I am a cousin of Fred W.
DeVoe, paint manufacturer. and
have the honor of having been
after him. If Mayor Wilson
viii get behind my bills down at
Trenton and we succeed in getting
The bridge built, I will have it
painted with DeVoe paint"
