SAY DEMOCRATS
FAVOR T0OLAN
AS County Chairman to Sue
ceed Hayes Who Will Re-
sign on Saturday

NEW BRUNSWICK. July 19.-As-
sistant Prosecutor John Z. Toolan is
the favorite choice of majority of
prominent Democrats who have been
willing to give their views as to who
should succeed Edmund A. Hayes as
Democratic eoInty chairman. AL
though the announcement by Mr..
Hayes that he would resign this Sat
urday as county head came as a big
surprise, Democrats playing an i'm
portant part in county affairs real
lied the Importance of a strong
leader and they have begun at once
to select as Chairman Hayes sue
cessor a man who will devote his
time and energies to the campaign
so that victory might be the reward
this fall.
Mr.. Toolan is reported to have de-
clared that, if selected for the chair
manship, he would try and see to it
that an earnest effort is made where
by every candidate will receive the
full support of the organization. He
has attacked the policy of dealing"
whereby certain candidates are sacri-
ficed in order that others might be

British Cabinet Meets

PARIS, July 19.-(By The AS
ISOLATED Press)-The German Gov
ernment, through its embassy in
London, is striving to have the forth
coming British note on reparations
convey to the French Government
Germany's willingness 20 cease pas
sive resistance in the Ruhr, subject
to certain concessions on the part of
France. This information has
reached the French Government on
what is regarded as unquestionable
but unofficial authority.
These concessions appear to in
clude:
First, withdrawal of the Franco
Belgian troops of occupation with
the exception of a mere skeleton
military force, which would in the
diplomatic sense be invisible"
Second, permission for the Ger
man officials and functionaries ex--
PEELED from the Ruhr to return to
their posts. restoring the local
administration of all civil services
as it existed before Jan. II, when
the occupation took place.
Third, that the French Govern
ment agree to restore the currency
it confiscated.
These conditions, it is declared
here, would be unacceptable to the
French Government, because they
are unaccompanied by any definite
assurances or guarantees that re-
paration payments would be forth
coming.
Likewise. it is explained, the
French Government feels that be-
tween France, which is enforcing
the peace treaty, and Germany,
which is refusing to execute it, it
would not be equitable that Germany
should impose conditions instead of
yielding 20 the French demands.

Mrs. Frank Parsons, superinten-

Mrs. Parsons gave very interest
Ing talk on the work at the hospital
and what 1t meant for the public at
large and also for the industries. On
account of the fact that the city is
composed largely of factory em-
ployes, Mrs. Parsons told how both
the minds of the employees and en-
ployer are resting easy as they know
that should an accident occur they
have a hospital here which is equip
ped to care for any case.
Mrs. Parsons told of the great
pride taken in the Alumni Associa-
ton which now has forty members.

being derived by the nurses from
their new home which is as we'll
equipped as any in the state. She
also referred to the cooperation
shown between the members of the
medical profession and how the aux
liary staff recently formed relieves
the strain of the staff physicians and
also gives the auxiliary physicians an
opportunity to follow up their own
cases.
The work of the Ladies' Auxiliary
was also highly spoken of by Mrs.
Parsons, and the way in which this
auxiliary has raised funds has been
greatly appreciated. With the aid
of the auxiliary it is expected that
the hospital will be better equipped
than ever before.
1t was suggested that the club hold
one of its weekly luncheons at the
hospital in the near future and up
on the invitation such a luncheon
will probably be held within the next
six or eight weeks.

Morgan Prefers Ruses

MORGAN, July 19-The abandon
nient of the Jersey Central Traction
line passing through here will not
affect seriously the residents of this
district in the opinion of summer
visitors who spend : the summer
months at the Morgan beach. They
admitted that the trolley was con-
venient but expressed that a bus
line passing Morgan would be pre-
ferred.
Charles L. Steuerwald, of Perm
Amboy, head of the real estate
agency which is developing the
Morgan beach property declared
that he was in favor of discontin-
uance of the trolley line. He be-
lieved that "the move was a good
one." He recommended that the
ate highway take over the strips
OF road occupied by the tracks ct
the trolley company and by widel-
ing that main thoroughfare which
leads into Keyport and seashore
points would relieve the present
t,affic congestion. BY the acquisition
of the track land by the state would
also eliminate the trolley crossing at
Morgan, Mr.. Steuerwald said and
provide a delightful boulevard for
motorists. He also said that bus
service between Perth Amhoy and
Keyport would fill the wants of the
people. "People want to ride on
