SAYS PATIENCE
HAS|TSL|M|Ts
French General Says The
Stubbornness of Germans
Will be Broken

LONDON, Jan. 30 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) General Degoutte, in
a statement to the press at Duessel-
dorf this morning sounded the warn
ing, according to the Evening News
correspondent, that ''they are mis-
taken to think our patience has no
limits" and added that the allies oc-
cupying the Ruhr will carry out
their plans and will break the stub
borness of their adversaries."
AT another point, according to the
correspondent, he said; More gen
eral sanctions will soon be decided
upon, and it will then be possible
to say where the mad policy of the
Berlin government has led Ger
many"
General Degoutte said the French
and Belgian forces had entered the
district without political intentions
and had promised as little trouble
as possible to the normal life of the
German people. The French had
asked the workers to perform their
duties in a calm and orderly man
ner. but the German government
had tried to cause a general rebel
lion OF the people and had placed
obstacles in the way OF the French
and Belglans by means Of partial
strike. sabotage. boycotts and similar
measures.
This provocative policy" he con-
tfnued, did not succeed in shaking
our self-command. The French army
is not like the Prussian army. We
are not anxious to put everything to
the fire and sword and beat civilians
in the same way as the disciples of
Bismarck.
Moderation, however, is not
weakness. They are mistaken to
think our patience has no limits"
The French commander asserted
that the German political leaders
were proceeding with useless strug-
gle. and that they must be held re-
sponsible for the misfortune of their
country.
THE allied governments" he de-
clared, will not continue in the
same way as they began. They will
carry out their plans and will break
the stubbornness OF their adversa-
ries. The high official or civil ser
want who obstructs our action will
be arrested or expelled. as will also
all people who will not recognize the
right conferred on us by the peace
treaty and by international law"

MESSAGES BY GOVERNOR
Important Messages on Coal
and Taxation by SiIzer Be-
fore State Legislature

TRENTON, Jan. 30-Three spe-
cial messages upon important mat
ters were sent to the legislature last
night by Governor Silzer. The most
| important, perhaps, was that on tnt
coal situation in the state complying
with the legislature resolution of
January 16. calling for a repo. t
from the Fuel Commission to Gov
lernor Edwards, who passed out of
Office that day. Referring to the
report the Governor says:
From this you will see that the
commission has been busy from the
third day of August in looking az
to function long before similar
commissions and before the Federal
Commission.
you will also see that New Jer-
sey has received its full share of
coal allotted to this district.
"It is also interesting to note that
thei operations have been very
economical compared with the cost
to other states.
Complying with your request for
suggestions as to legislation, would
| say that since the coal originates in
Pennsylvania and almost immediate
ly comes into interstate commerce,
the problem Is primarily a federal
one, over which we have no control.
The only control we have is over coal
shipped into this state for consump-
| tion here.
with regard to this, I would call
your attention to the report made
under joint resolution No. 9, ap-
proved March 8, 1921. which provid-
ed for an investigation into the coal
question in the state of New Jersey
That report quoted by the COVER
nor showed a combination of dealers,
by which retail coal prices were fixed
and sales controlled, and he says:
after making this report the
committee was continued for another
year, but I am unable to find that
any further report was made. ]. do
not find any legislative action taken
to- carry out the committees recon-
mendations.
81 would recommend, in conform
ity with your request, that laws be
passed to correct the conditions to
which attention is called in the COM
mittee's report; also the re-enact-
ment Of chapter 13 of the laws OF
1913, being one of the -o-called
seven sisters acts. regulating un-
! lawful combinations.

Developments inFrench
OccuDdtiOn of Ruhr

The German railroad workers
are continuing their sabotage
campaign against French at
tenpts to operate the Ruhr rail-
ways, but the Ruhr gas and
electric workers have decided
not to strike. The mines are still
turning out a two-thirds coal
supply, but the railroad tie-up
threatens to compel shutting
down of the pits. In Duessel-
dorff the striking telegraph ser
vice employees have resumed
work.
The Paris foreign Office de-
clares the strike situation is i'm
proving, particularly in the
Rhineland, where CoblenZ, Bonn
and Treves are the only points
at which the men are still out.
London advices indicate Pre-
nier Bonar Law will not accede
to the British labor party de-
mands that the British parlia-
ment be called into session be-
fore the date set for its assem-
bly,, February 13, 50 that the

Judge DaIy's Name Goes to
Senate for Confirmation
Other Appointments

County Court Judge Peter +. Daiy
of New Brunswick, was nominated
by Governor Silzer last night for
the Office Of circuit court judge tc
succeed Judge Richard Doherty this
nomination being one of the first
group of selections to be announc-
ed by the new kgovernor. All of the
nominations went at once to the ser
ate for confirmation.
Governor Silzer did not nominate
a new county court judge for Mid
d1esex to fill the vacancy which will
be caused by Judge Daly's going to
the circuit court as he will await
the confirmation of his selection of
DAILY. It is generally understood
John P. kirkpatrick will be named
as Judge Daly's successor.
Although Judge DAILY has been
named to succeed Judge Doherty, IT
is pointed out that a re-allignment
OF the circuit court districts may be
made by the chief justice so that a
more businesslike handling of these
courts may result, the judges being
assigned to districts close to their
homes.
Upon the resignation of Circuit
Court Judge William H. Spear
Judge Cutler was named to fill the
unexpired term. Judge Doherty De-
ing named to take over Judge Cut
ler's district. Judge Cutler has
been appointed and Judge Daily has
nod been named to succeed judge
Doherty. If no reallignment is
made it seems likely that Judge

Camp Raritan Man Is Accused OF Big The
PLOT TO KILL FRENCH CHIE|
RICHARDSON'S BILL IS
AMENDED and APPROVED

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 30.-The
county expenditure bill, drafted by
County Solicitor Frederick i. Rich
ardson, was approved yesterday by
the State Board of Freeholders at
their meeting in Trenton after the
third clause of the bill had been
struck out. This clause provided for
tax limitation in preventing any
county setting figure to be raised
by taxation in excess of the 1920
figure. This clause, it was pointed
out, would make it impossible for
some of the counties. which have
pledged themselves to certain road
and improvement programs, to keep
these pledges.
Under the two clauses of the bill,
which will likely be introduced SIM
ultaneously in the assembly and SEN
ate next Monday night, the Boards
of Freeholders have absolute juris-
diction over the budgets and every
bill paid by the county.

(By the Associated Press !,

New measures by the French
and Belgians to make the ex-
tended occupation of German
territory more effective are fore
cast in today's advices.
General Degoutte, French
commander in the Ruhr, is quot
ed as declaring in an interview
that further measures to bring
the Germans to terms would
soon be decided upon.
In apparent pursuance OF this
policy France and Belgium, 1t Is
announced in Brussels, have
agreed on measures to be taken
in the Ruhr in the near future.
The agreement was reached at a
conference between high French
and Belgian officials, including
General Weygand, Marshal
Foch's chief of staff, and Pre-
n1ier Theunis of Belgium.
In the concerted action plan
ned with Belgium to make the
customs barrier in the Ruhr ef-
fective an extension of the
French lines to Frankfort may
be necessary, it has been uroffl-
cially limited. Complete stop
page of coal shipments into Ger

TRENTON, Jan. SEA- near riot
was the climax of the hearing here
yesterday before the senate judiciary
committee on the bill to prohibit the
employment of women in factories,
bakeries and laundries between the
hours of 10 at night and in the
morning. 1t came from the factory
workers of Passaic county who were
here in large number to support
their employers in the opposition OF
the latter to the bill. When Senator
Stevens Of Monmouth, Republican,

that the time for both sides to pre-

with cries for an extension so they
might be heard. They swarmed

to those who made the arguments

Ir between there were all sorts
of biting comments and character

prospective mothers, to be engaged
in employment at night when the
vitality of the human being is at Its
lowest ebb and that work should
be done during the hours of sun

women employees of the telegraph
office at Dusseldorf, in the Ruhr,
have been driven with blows OF
riding whips from their Offices" was

The statement, summing up con-

established by the French, details of

cials in the Ruhr territory and on
the left bank of the Rhine are con-

Legislation May be Introduc-
ed Today for Relief Of City

TRENTON. Jan. Ex-senator
Morgan z. Larson, of Middlesex
county. told an Evening News rep
resentative at noon today that he
had a conference scheduled f,r
early this afternoon with a deiega-
ton of Perth Amboy city officials
on the finance bill which they pro-
pose to have placed before the leg
islature for action. Senator Lar
son said he will endeavor to lea n
during this conference ust what leg
islation the officials desired in order
to make it possible for that city
to finance its share of the grade
crossing elimination work.
The Middlesex county senator
said he could not understand why
the Perth Amboy officials found !t
necessary to rush to Trenton for a
conference with him when his hons
is in Perth Amboy and he could
have been reached there the latter
part of last week. No attempt was
made by these officials to confer
with him Senator Larson, but as he
was confined to his home with ton
silitis for a few days this "gave
them something to hang their hats
on" in not comforting with him.
The senator said he wNs not too
sick to confer with the city Off
cials on Friday, Saturday or Sun
day.
''If the aldermen and city off,
cials could agree among themselves
as to just what plan they desired
instituted, I feel sure the thing can
be properly cared for" Senator

City Is Represented

Alderman -at-Large CALVIN, SlIy
Attorney David T. Wilentz and City
Engineer Louis P. Booz, Jr., are in
Trenton again today in the interest
of having introduced in the legis-
lature the bill allowing the increase
of the city debt limit two per cent.
Members of the Board of Aldermen,
the city attorney and city engineer,
were in Trenton yesterday on this
matter but as the bill was not in
troduced, returned again today to
urge the measure In order that funds
may be provided to do the city's
part of the grade crossing elimina-
ton.
There is only a short time left in
" hich the bill for the raising of the
debt limit can be introduced, and un-
less it is introduced tonight or next
week it probably will be impossible
for the city to do it's share Of the
grade crossing elimination because
of lack OF funds and this will bring
about the threatened court action of
the Public Utility Commission to
force the city to act in the matter.
The bill was discussed with Sena-
tor Morgan T. Larson yesterday at
Trenton, and according to City At
torney Wilentz, the local representa-
tives look at him to introduce the
bill.
According to reports today three
more property owners have reached
an understanding with the railroad
companies concerning the purchase
of their property for the grade
crossing elimination. It is under
stood that the property owners who
have settled within the last few days
were those scheduled for hearings on
February before the condemnation
commission.
The commission is scheduled to sit
in the city hall on February 6, z and
8 to hold hearings on the condemna-
tion proceedings in connection with
the properties whose owners have
not as yet disposed of their property
to the railroad companies. Since
three more of the property owners
have settled it is likely that the COM
mission will sit two days instead Of
three as announced.
