mas, and now tonight, on Christmas
Eve, mother has given us nut cakes
with orange icing ~
There were four children at the
supper table with father and mother.
The cakes had just been brought in,
and all the four pairs of eyes were
wide with pleasure. This was an I'M
expected treat. Usually suppers in
this parsonage were affairs of bread
and milk, AM prunes or junket for des-
sert. Even father was a little elated
over the nut cakes
But little Frances was the most
elated of all; for suddenly, right on
the spot, a problem that had been
troubling her for two whole days was
solved. Yes, the nut cakes answered
the problem to perfection. Carefully,
and all unobserved, she slipped the de-
licious cake, with its deiectable frost

the cosy library where he was sitting
reading with mother and cautiously
started to investigate.
In the back parlor, to which he
tracked the tiny sounds, there was dim
starlight. That is how he saw the
little white figure over by the chill
dren's stockings. 1t was too little for
Santa Claus, surely-even too little
for burglar. The minister switched
on the lights.

For FIVE years he had thought OF
Stella Thompson as his-the thought
had never occurred to him that some
one else might come along and take
her from him. True, he had never
come right out like the men In the
story books and asked Stella to be his,
but surely he thought any girl would
have sense enough to know when a
man really wanted her. Things had
been so pleasant, anyhow, coming and
going to Stella's home that he had put
off naming the day, but otherwise, in
his mind, the whole thing had been
settled.

CHECK On COAL
INTO GERMANY
Move to Overcome Passive
Resistance Shown by the
Germans

DUESSELDORF, Jan. 31-French
customs collectors, backed by the
army, will today cut off the Ruhr
from Germany completely, and will
prevent the passage of any coal or
iron. This is their answer to the un-
bending attitude of the Berlin gov
ernment.
An ultimatum in spirit if not in
form will be presented to the Ger
man government, demanding rever-
sal of its policy regarding the Ruhr.
1t will be told once and for all that
France will not tolerate passive hos
tility supported and financed by the
German government by the inhabi-
tants of the Ruhr. If a satisfactory
reply TO this ultimatum is not forth
coming drastic measures will be
taken, exceeding those already in
force under sanctions already au-
thorized by the Rhineland Commits
sion and under the state of siege de-
clared by the French in the newly
occupied area.
What the French plan for further
action may be is not clear, but it is
obvious it is not likely to involve fur
ther occupation of territory or meas
ures of military repression, with
which enemies of the French charge
them. The French have been too
fully occupied in the Ruhr to seek
trouble outside.

SiIZer Hits at policy
of q. O.P On Roads

NEWARK, AN. 81. Governo or
Silzer is ready to unmask those who
are "Ku Kluxing behind closed
doors" as he terms it, to prevent
the passage Of legislation designed
to rid the taxpayers of New Jersey
of the burden of excess profiteering
in highway construction upon the
part of paving interests. Such was
his threat made here last night in
an address which sensationally at
tackled the manipulators whom he
declares are seeking in the lawmak
ing body to block the effort to
ttwart the Latent pavement trust
and the cement trust. The speech
was made here before the New Jer-
sey Les que of Municipalities. Mr..
Silzer reiterated the figures he read
to the legislature, in special message
over a week ago, showing that pat
ented surface cost the state $2.S5
per square yard, or eighty-five cents
more than sheet asphalt would cost
and that whereas ent cost oU
cents a barrel in 1c- the figure
now is $500 a barrel, when talr
price 70 hit should be $1.25 a differ
'ence of seventy-f1ve cents.
Mr.. Silzer then referred to a less
of approimately$ 100000 to the
people during the past year for the
use of patented paving or warren
ite in various counties in this state.
Declaring that it was this situa-
ton confronting him that cause
the removal of the highway board,
the governor then charged that III

remedy the situation by the crea-
ton OF a new commission, there
have been conferences OF the Leg
islature. designed for no other pur-
pose than to prevent the relief ri

the closed door maneuvering.

will also have the good will and

islature Seems Program
ACTION NEXT MONDAY
Question of State Engineer is

Name Mentioned

TRENTON. Jau. 31.--A five-man
highway commission named by the
Republican majority of the present
legislature is what seems 90 be loom
ing up as the result of the moves
in the senate and House Repub-
iican conferences here this week.
Both houses have adjourned for the
week and when they reconvene next
Monday evening 1t is expected that
they may have a definite program
ready for passage through the law
making body. Although a group of
Republican senators have held out
for cooperation with Governor Sill
ger in the reorganization of the COM
mission, the majority of the G.. .. p.
the problem without the co-opera-
ton of the executive.
This seemed to be the situation
yesterday as the lawmakers left for
home after day marked by con-
ferenceS. The ten members Of the
majority in the legislature, five SEN
stors and five assemblymen, en-
trusted with shaping the destinles
OF the party's course in this session,

ment for the week had been taken.
ber of newspaper men endeaVored to
obtain from the chairman, Senate
Leader Stevens Of Monmouth, a
statement Of the situation Mr.. Stew
ems was very non-communicative
He said the situation was not in
shape to talk about and that there
was nothing definite he could say.
I1e hoped to have something for the
press representatives next week.
From other sources, however,
came the talk that the Republicans,
at least those who control, plan to
pass a bill naming five highway
measure, three to be Republicans
and two to be Democrats. This
scheme, of course, fails to include
Consideration for the governor, as it
would take from him the power of
appointing the men. 1t is under
stood that the House of assembly
majority is behind this idea and it
row has ten votes On the senate Re-
publican side, or one short of the
necessary majority there.
1t seems to be we'll defined that
teutenants of former Senator Board
of Camden, who is himself in the
south, are behind the move to pass
a. bill giving the legislature the
apparent that the plan has at least
he tacit approval of Republican
State Chairman E. C. Stokes.
Gossip in the corridors of the
state house had it that the apparent
deadlock on the highway question
was merely a move to delay until too
late consideration of the public uto-
ity fare problem by this session Of
the legislature. OF course, this could
not be confirmed. 1t was explained
in this connection that with final
adjustment scheduled for an early
date In March and all lawnaking
side-tracked for the road depart
nent issue, bills on other subjects
naturally would jam up in the clos
ing day of the session and the util-
ity question might be lost in the
rush.

The Middlesex county senator and
three assem- blymen were interview
ed today by the Evening News for
the purpose of determining their
position on the question of whether
the state highway commission should
be appointed by the governor or by
the legislature.
Senator Morgan +. Larson and AS
semblyman Thomas L. Hanson, both
of this city, took the same stand on
the matter. They said they were
not in favor OF taking the appoint
ment of the commission out Of the
hands of the governor if the COVER
nor could select men of sufficient
ability to be acceptable to the 1egis-
lature.
"We have got to have a highway
commission" Senator Larson said,
'aDd if the governor can select a
board acceptable to the legislature
it should be done in this way so that
they can get down to brass tacks.'
Assem- b1ynan Harold G.. Hoffman,
OF South Amboy, when questioned,
said he preferred not to be quoted
at this time. A joint conference is
being held this week, he said, at
which date will be presented infor-
nation desired by both senators
and assemblymen. ''I don't care to
be quoted until after I have heard

Assemblyman Hoffman said.
Assemblynan Fred w. DeVoe, OF

be solidly behind Governor Silzer be-
ing given the power to make the ap-
pointments. A statement, to be found

(By The Associated Press1

II
Further drastic -ction by the
French if the Germans do not
cease their passive hostility to-
ward the Ruhr occupation is
forecast by some of the corre-
spondents in the valley. They
assert that the French intend
sending a virtual ultimatum to
Berlin tonight announcing this
step.
Meanwhile the German inten-
ton to stand firm in an attempt
to make the French realize the
futility of their effort is asserted
by a Berlin semi official agency.
The coal situation in the Ruhr
is growing worse. Only about
one-half the normal amount is
being mined, and car scarcity is
causing coal to accumulate at
the pits.
Expulsions of German officials
from the occupied area are still
in progress. Thirty-four addi-
tional civil functionaries were
sent from the Rhineland today.
Communications in the Ruhr
were further crippled by addi-

Mr.. Silzer then referred to the
effort in the last two legislatures
to get an "open specification law
passed ''In whose interest was It
to keep closed specifications? he
asked. Referring to the present
situation in the legislation on the

said:

know their methods, and if it be-
