The Grub Stake" starring Nell

REPUBLICANS
PLAN POLICY
Legislative Maiorities Meet
ing at Trenton Today to
Decide Upon Program
ARE SLOW IN ACTING
House Democrats, Headed by
De Voc, Receive Commit
tee Report Tomorrow

TERNTON, Dec. determination
of a program for the coming ses-
sion of the legislature Is to be the
subject of a conference here today
of the Republican members of that
body. With but two weeks remain
ing before the lawmaking grind be-
gins, the leaders realize that IL any
concrete accomplishments are to be
achieved this winter some prepara-
ton must be made for them. To
date there has been a singular lack
of activity upon the part of the ma
jority with respect to program Tor
the session. In other years the con-
ference committees appointed by
each house to whip a legislative
policy into shape have held frequent
meetings for this purpose but todays
event marks the first definite move
in that direction.
Tomorrow the House Democrats.
eighteen in number, will meet mere
to receive a report of the work OIL
their conference committee in for
mulating a lawmaking course for the
1924 session. This committee Is
composed of Minority-leader- -elect
Do Voc, of Middlesex, Marshall. of
Mercer, and Crawford, Barison and
Candy, all of Hudson. 1t has already
met and drafted a report to be sub
mltted to the other members tomor-
row. Just what the House Demo-
Gratis have in mind for the incom-
Ing. legislature to consider has not
become apparent on the surface.
Therefore they may be preparing TO
spring o surprise on the majority
which to date has shown so much
lethargy in this respect.
Only Democratic Senators
There are only four Democratic
state senators and this small num-
Der is probably the reason they have
failed to be heard from so far IN
the preparations for the opening OF
the lawmaking mill. There has been
talk however, that Senator David
II. Agens. of Bunterdon, may become
the minority leader. This would be
novelty in that 1t would mean
"dry" Democratic senate leader, be-
cause the Hunterdon man is very
arid. Senator Simpson, of Hudson
however. Every wet" who has been
his party's spokesman for some years
will continue to take an active part
in all debates.
The fact that the Republicans
have said so little up until today
about a legislative program may
mean they intend to do as little in
the way of lawmaking this winter as
possible. In other years the joint
conference committee has gone to
Atlantic City to talk over bills and
policies and there have been meet
ings in addition at the state capitol
and in Trenton hotels.

S|LZER TALKS
ON COAL CRISIS
Urges Cooperation of Govern
ment, Pennsylvania and
Consuming States

BOSTON, Dec, 26:--Co-operation
between the federal government the
state of Pennsylvania and the Nari-
Gus anthracite consuming states to
regulate the anthracite industry was
urged by Governor George S. Silzer,
of New Jersey, in an address before
the Boston Rotary Club. today.
"The President" he said, 'in deal

asked for the power to act in an
emergency. We seem to be in the
midst of an emergency all the time
whether the federal government
can exercise to the fullest degree the
power of price-fiXing and regulation
or whether 1t cannot, there IS no
doubt at all that through the power
which the Interstate Commerce

which could be given to it or sim

doubted authority and power. TO
eliminate the fraudulent and eXtor-

petition and control which are the
largest factors in the curtailment or
production, the creation of shortages
and the raising OF the price.
"The people of the thirty anthra-
cite-consuming states should petition
Pennsylvania to take some action.
"Pennsylvanla in all fairness ls

of Pennsylvania to repeal the coal

and immoral. !
"Pennsylyania should regulate and

"Within our respective states we
should be willing to cooperate. our
difficulty of course, Is first to get a
sufficient quantity of coal into the
state. and second to sec. that It ar

being accomplished, we can prevent

MADISON AVE. RESIDENTS
AGAIN MAKE PROTESTS
Comment is Withheld

Residents of Madison avenue,
north of Market street, are up in
arms over the establishment at 265
Madison avenue. where it is said,
disturbances almost every night,
keep the neighborhood awake.
The cause for the latest complaint
was an occurrence about o'clock
yesterday morning. when 1t is said,
three men kicked the front door
through and this unexpected hap
pening, caused a big crowd of men
inside, to run to cover fearing the
police had arrived.
Although, it is alleged, police were
attracted to the scene, no arrests
were made. This section of Madi-
son avenue has been the scene of
considerable trouble the past year or
50, and the nelgAbors have about de-
cided that the time has come for
action of some kind.
No better time could be obtained
for the arousing of the children of
the neighborhocd than o'clock Of a
Christmas morning. 1t is sounded
out. 1t is rumored that the resi-
dents of this district will sign pc
tition to be presented to the police
at an early date.

ADMITS CLAIM
That he Made Fortune in Wall

year-old son of Governor General
Wood of the Philippines, has admit
ted making between 100000 and
100000 in speculation in Wall
Street securities conducted by cable
from Manila, where he is an aid to
his father, says a copyrighted dis
patch to the New York Times, today.
Comment is Withheld
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-In tht
absence of Secretary Weeks, who is
away over the Christmas holidays.
the war department today withheld
formal comment on the financial op-
erations of Lieutenant Osborne G.
Wood, son and aide of Governor Cen
eral Leonard Wood OF the Philip
pine Islands, but 1t was indicated
hat the question has never been for
mally before the department and
that nothing in the way of instruc-
tions or orders had been issued deal
ing with it.
Apparently Secretary Weeks some
time ago was advised informally of
Lieutenant Woods transactions az.
intimated through private channels
which would reach both General
Wood and his son the feeling that
continuance of speculative operations
by the officer might prove embarrass.
ing to General Wood. SO far as
could be learned this was the only
connection of the war department
with the matter.
Lieutenant Wood has not filed an
application with the state depart
ment for appointment to the diplo-
matte service. The next examine
tions for diplomatic secretaries will
be held about the middle of the COM
ing year.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26:-Financial
operations of Lieutenant Osborne G.

"thlt the department. found nothing
whatever in the transa ctions of the
young officer to call for censure, but
that the department did strongly ad-
wise him to stop speculating at once
AMI that communications on the
subject passed between the depart
ment and Major General Wood. who
directed his son and aide, to put an
end to all his speculative operations.
