GOVERNOR IN WAR ON
"ROAD CRAB ACT
Continued from page u


added route "as soon as practicable"
The road board is left to judge of the
practicability of laying out the route,
which it Is pointed out here may
mean that the Mathis road might be
built o or fifty years from now.
The State Highway commission
declared a short time ago that no
new construction is being contem-
plated in state highways. 1t was
said that construction and mainte-
nance work already projected will
be the only wrok which will be done
for some time to come.
Another difficulty in constructing
the road provided for in the road
grab" act. is the question of finances.
The 10000, 900 bond act for state
roads provides only fer the construc-
ton and repair of roads already
built or in process of construction.
There is said to be no o avail
able to build any state roads planned
subsequent to the referendum ap-
proving the road bond act.
The road board, however, will not
play any politics in the building of
roads. according to report. Senator
Mathis was one of the bitterest of
the "bitter-enders" in the recent leg
islative fight for confirmation OF
the present road board. Mathis
stood out consistently against con-
flrmation. The board will not on
that account, 1t Is said. defer the
building of the Camden-Toms River
road.

STAND
IS DEFENDED
Two Episcopalian CIergymen
Praise His Stand on Prohi-
bition Issue

TRENTON, April Tn response
to his letter asking for personal
opinions as to his attack on the Fed
erai Volstead Prohibition Enforce
ment act, former Governor Stokes is
constantly receiving replies endors-
Ing his attitude. Three of his COM
munications have just been made
public, two of which r from Epis-
copalian clergymen.
The Rev. J. o. Ferris, pastor of a
Newark Episcopal church, praised
the Republican state chairman for
his straightforward and splendid
letter to James K. Shields, OF the
New Jersey Anti-Saloon League.
Both as a citizen and as a clergy
man." continues the Rev. Mr.. Fer
ris, II unreservedly agree with every
word you say in regard to the Vol
stead act.
although personally, I may be
more radical, than yourself, in my
opposition to the whole question or
prohibition, / cannot help but feel,
that could the wiser ~counsels OF
men like yourself prevail, In the set
Element, adjustment, practical opera
ton and application of the 18th
amendment, we should be spared
much of the moral chaos, disrespect
tor law and judicial authority, In
temperance and general national
disgrace, which nov seem to be
overwhelming us. as a result OF the
attempt to enforce a most unreason-
able, tyrannicaI and impossible law"
Commenting upon Governor
Stokes letter to Superintendent
Shields of the Anti-Saloon League,
Louis Schlesinger, of Newark, says:
"Just a line to let you know ]
read your Shields letter in the news
papers and want TO congratulate you
upon writing it and you clearly ex-
press my sentiments and many OF
your friends and 1t requires courage
In these days for men in public life
to express their views so forcible."
Nothing could be truer than your
exposition of the evils which flow
from the Volstead act" Such Is
the declaration of the Rev. Hamilton
s.. Schuyler. of this city, rector OF
the Trinity P. E. church. However,
the clergyman does not approve OF
the increasing of alcoholic content
to satisfy this trouble. He goes so
far as to say that a prohibitory law
should never have been placed on
the statute books.
st has been done, however" says
the letter, land there seems to be
no likelihood of its being repealed"

BEER DRINKERS ARE
DANCING With GLEE
BritiShers See Reduction Of Penny
a Pint in Drinks

London, April 16.-(By Associated
Press 1.-The prospect of a reduction
of penny a pint in the price of their
favorite beverage gave beer drinkers
something to think about today. All
the publicans and saloonkeepers said
that If the expected announcement of
the reduction in the beer tax was
forthcoming in connection with the
presentation of the budget in the
house of commons they would start
selling on Tuesday at a reduction of
a penny a pint. This would be in ac-
cordance with instructions from the
brewers who hold most of the pubs"
The newspaper political experts
were virtually agreed that a reduction
in the income and beer taxes would
be made, but beyond these there was
a wide difference of opinion. Their
guesses included sugar, tobacco, pos
tai charges, corporation profits and
entertainment tickets as possible
items in which the chancellor of the
exchequer might grant relief, but no
certain predictions were ventured.
1t was generally conceded that the
laborites would fight the budget to the
utmost if it did not lift existing indi-
rect taxation on such articles as tea
and sugar.

Berlin. April 1e.-(By Associated
Press. Premier Poincare's remarks
at Dunkirk were intended primarily
for English consumption. the Berlin
newspapers think, yet they cannot UNI
derstand why such new stimulant
was regarded as necessary In view Of
the fact that Louis Loucheur was .re-
ported to have found British senti-
ment on the Ruhr Question swinging
toward France.
II. however. the French premier's
speech was intended to furnish a cue
from the German government and the

Immediately given will spell new
disappointment for him"
The newspaper adde's that Germany
is determined and Is In position to
continue her passive resistance cam
paign for long time to come II nee
essary.
The press asserts that Germany has
been getting along without Ruhr coal
as Premier Poincare pointed out
simply because most of this supply
has been used previously within the
Ruhr itself and because the fuel
shortage in the unoccupied territory
is being relieved by the importation
Of foreign coal.
With regard to the premier.s ref
erence to Germany's use of foreign
currencies, the press says this has
been necessary in order to stave off
hunger in Germany and to save Ger

'65 and half HOURS
IS new Dance MARK
Houston, Texas, Beauty Also Long
Distance ShuHler

Houston, Tex, April 10, - Miss
Magdalene Williams, a Texas beauty
having danced 65 hours and 80 min
utcs, ceased shutting about sos p. m.
yesterday, called II q record and went
home waiting to hear from others in
Cleveland, New York and Baltimore,
who aspire TO be world champion long
distance dancers.
The record was made at McMil-
lians Dancing academy here, 81 cou-
pies having set forth AT 9:l5 p. M,
| Thursday, with a cash prize and a
trip to New York as the goal for the
best record.
Miss Williams, winner also In n
recent beauty contest. danced through
two days and three nights and the
greater part of third day, while
couple after couple, unable to stand
the pace, dropped out, To the very
last step she exhibited very little eX-
haustion, and for q swan song she
staged as lively n one-step as she did
on the first night.
Three Break Record
Three Houston dancers broke the
world record established at Baltimore
Saturday when they continued dane
ing after 1883 a. m. Sunday. Doctors
prevailed on Miss Goldie Hughes to
drop out shortly after a. m. and
leave the contest to Miss Williams and
L. Kessler At 2:27 p. m. Sunday
Kessler was ruled off the floor as a
result Of his apparent inability to keep
time to the music or to do any real
dancing.
Miss Williams announced she would
go on through to 8 p. m, making q
72-hour record. Doctors felt her pulse
and offered no serious objections and
the dance continued despite protests
of the hall management. The young
auburn haired miss socrned all who
advised her to quit, and apparently
had plenty of vitality left, but a note
from her parents prevailed and she
consented to leave the floor at 3:oS
p. m. after having been on 1t contin-
ually for SIS hours.
or To Turkish Bath
A waiting limousine carried her to
a Turkish bath and then to her home
and sleep. Hundreds packed the
street as the car left the dance hall.
Sunday on-lookers crowded on the
dance floor surrounding the last re-
naming couple. Police kept them
back while violinist walked along
side playing the latest jazz, in unison
with the orchestra at one end of the
hall. Orchestra music was provided
during the entire 65 hours and there
was never an hour, day or night when
there were not hundreds Of onlookers
in the dance hall.
