State Bridge Scandal
Told OF BY Governor

HACKENSACK, Oct. 30.-Gover-
nor Silzer carried his fight for a
Democratic legislature into Bergen
county last night and took occasion
in several speeches to answer the at
tacks recently made upon him for
vetoing the resolution under which
the investigation of the Perth Am
boy bridge scandal was made.
"They forgot that on the third
of February l directed the attorney
general to investigate the sale of
the lands for the approach and to
start suit to set aside the sale and
recover the over-payment made on
that OCCASION" declared the COVER
nor. "The fact is that proceedings
were started and the courts consent
ed to have the sale set aside and the
S230,000 was paid back by paying 1t
into the court of chancery."
Mr.. Silzer referred to his veto mes
sage on the investigation resolution
in which he said 1t failed to call for
a thorough probe including the pat
ent paving graft as well as bridge
scandal. He said he promised to
sign a resolution which would pro-
vide for that.
"If a real investigation had been
desired I would have been glad, as
I said in the message, to have had
such an investigation, for as ] said.
there ought to be a thorough In
vestigation looking into the activities
of those interested in patent paving

EDGE SAYS SHIELDS
TRIED TO KEEP COME

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 30--Unit-
ed States Senator Walter e. Edge
replied today to the attack made up-
on him in st. Paul's M. T.. church
mere Sunday night by DR.. James L.
shields, state superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League. Senator Edge
said
I'VE all know DR.. Shields. He is
superintendent OF the Anti Saloon
League, one of the most active no
htical organizations in New Jer-
sey and Is doing his best to earn his
salary.
I'll bet he didn't tell his audience
how he tried to keep Sam Cone as
chief of the prohibition force i'm
New Jersav after it had been dis
covered that Cone had been previ-
ously compelled to get out of gov
ernment service.
m glad he's pleased with the
Republican state platform. Inas-
much as his own Representatives dis
cussed with me and others the Vol
stead act failure plank and came to
an agreement even before the con
vention convened. then everybody
must be happy following the CON
Vention,
Il read 4 lot of amusing and labor
ed efforts on the part of DR.. Shields
office staff 10 try to read a dry mean
ing in this plank. but when it clearly
admits the intolerable conditions now
existing through efforts to enforce
an unavoidable act, it departs a long
way from the national bone dry pol
icy supposed to represent anti-sa-
loon league activities

roads in the various counties at
Trenton
1t is amusing to have the people
who blocked a real probe of patent
paving in the legislature declare
that the governor would have been
embarrassed by such a course, Mr..
Silzer declared.
IF the governor had not wanted
an investigation, he would not have
directed the attorney general to pro-
ceed," continued the executive.
What the governor wanted then,
and is ready for now, is the widest
kind of an investigation on the quee-
tion not only of bridge frauds. but
OF paving graft. This. however.
strikes too near home for those who
nearly three months, in the legis-
lature, opposed reform on the high
way question"
The governor declared that there
was not one word of substantiation
in the testimony taken at the bridge
investigation to show that any part
of the $4,000 paid by the Donnell
Lumber Company to a political lead
er went to the Democratic campaign
fund. This reference was to the
Barney" Cannon incident.
Senator Mackay, Republican, who
represents Bergen county in the
legislature, was scored by Silzer for
failing to Garry through" in his coal
investigation of several years ago.

Tax Board Members
Discuss Equalization
County Tax Board and Num-
CipaI Assessors Confer in
City Yesterday

Members of the Middlesex County
Board of Taxation together with To-
cal, Carteret, Woodbridge and Rari-
tan township assessors met in the
local city hall yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of holding their an
nual conference on the making of
assessments which would result in
an equalization of taxes.
William Casey represented Car
teret, John johnson was the Raritan
township representative, o. II. Hir-
ner spoke for Woodbridge and the
three local assessors. Hugh Gala
CHER, Max Klein and Walter Bic
lecki looked out for Perth Amboy's s
interests. The three members of the
county tax board are: George J. Ha-
ney of this city, Joseph A. Hermann
of Carteret, and p. II. S. Hendricks
of New Brunswick.
Considerable time was taken up
with open discussion on the man.
ner in which waterfront property
should be assessed. 1t was generally
agreed that the municipalities hav-
ing waterfront property would en-
deavor to 'equalize their figures In
making the 1924 figures.
Tne county Doafd approved VI d
system outlined by the Perth Amboy
board, whereby automobiles will be
taxed. A card index system will be
used for each car and the value OF
the car will be determined from the
books on second hand values ayaila-
BILE to automobile dealers.
Reports from the various asses
sors present showed that the 1924
WORK is well under way and tha
books should be ready by January
10. Although the complaint of the
johnson & Johnson Company of
New Brunswick, arguing that there
is not an equalization of taxes in
the county, was talked over no de-
cision was reached. Several asses
sors called attention to the fact that
industrial plants having buildings
which are twenty-five or thirty years
old seek a reduction owing to the
condition of these structures These
plants, 1t was said. maintain the as
sessnent are entirely too high and
intead OF having them lowered as
the value of the buildings decrease
from year to year, the assessors have
increased the valuations.

PLEAS FOR LAW
Urges Policing of State for
Enforcing of Liquor Law
and Constitution
SPEAKING AT METUCHEN
What is Matter With Prose-
CutorS, He ASks-Big Ral-
ly is Held at Metuchen

METUCHEN, Oct. 30.-"This state
of New Jersey needs policing, needs
the enforcement of the law and
needs the realization by the people
that the supreme law of the land,
constitution of our government,
should be observed" declared for
mer United States Senator Joseph
S. Frelinghuysen at a meeting of the
local Republican Club last night, "as
the trafficking in liquor in this state
goes on unhampered.'
what is the matter with the pros
ecutors of the state who permit their
subordinates to fail in seeing that
the laws are enforced, where are the
members of the state police who al
low the violations of the law to run
rampant" he queried, amid big
burst of applause.
Reading from the daily publica-
tions of one of the papers from the
northern part of the state, he read
headline after headline indicating
that the news features of the day
were crimes involving shooting, rob-
berries and brawls directly traceable
to the open violations of the liquor
laws.

which they have taken an oath to en-
force, and it is time that the peo-
pie should realize that the govern

ence and the public officials up
hold it," the senator continued, in
speaking of the liquor situation as
it appears to him.
A most enthusiastic assemblage
of residents of this vicinity gathered
to hear the former senator speak,
and the greeting accorded him was.
q most cordial one, many of the To-
cal people being warm personal
friends.
The accomplishments of the Hard

general conditions of the country fol-
lowing the world war. were summed
up in the words of Secretary Mel

LONDON, Oct. 80 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) Andrew Bonar Law,
former Premier of Great Britain,
died early today.
Former Premier Law had been
suffering from septic pneumonia.
Sir Thomas Horder, the famous
cancer specialist had been unable to
check the progress of the grave
throat malady fro mwhich the for
mer Premier was suffering.
Five months ago-on May 20
Bonar Law resigned the premiership
on account of a throat malady which
for a long time had troubled him.
Even then he was reluctant to admit
that his career was finished and re-
tained his seat in the House of Com
mons where he since made two or
three appearances.
Ten days ago Mr.. Bonar Law re-
turned to London from Brighton af-
ter a sojourn of several weeks. His
physicians issued statement to the
effect that he had contracted a Sc
we're chill, but the public did not
suspect that the end was so near
until they read in this mornings
newspapers that he had developed
septic pneumonia and a condition
that gave rise to considerable anx-
iety. But soon after extras appeared
giving the news of his death.
The ex-premier's daughter, his
only near relative left in England,
was with him during the last days
of his illness. His two sons were
killed in the World War, a sorrow
from which Mr.. Bonar Law never
recovered.
1t is understood Mr.. Bonar Law
was conscious to the end and that
his daughter Isabel and her husband
Major General Sir Frederick Sykes,
were at the bedside when death
came.
The flags flying from public and
private buildings all over the city
were lowered to half-mast as fast
as the news spread. Former Pre-
mier Asquith paid tribute to the deao
statesman as "one of the greatest
of parlimentarians, gallant fighter,
a formidable opponent, much-val-
ued colleague and a devoted servant
of the state"
King George sent a message of
sympathy to the family.

Paris Situation

PARIS, Oct. 80 (By The Associat-
ed Press) Some hitch in trans
mission appears to have held up on
the way the queries which, accord
ing to reports from London, the
British cabinet sent to Premier
Poincare last night as to how the
| committee of experts to examine
Germany's capacity to pay would be
composed, when it would meet, and
what powers would be invited to
name delegates. According to the
London dispatches the replies to
these queries were awaited by the
British cabinet, which adjourned till
one o'clock this afternoon to con
slider them.
No communication of the nature
indicated had been received by the
French foreign office up to 100
p m. it was said that, generally
speaking, Premier Poincare was
willing to accept any decision of the
reparation commission on those
points, so long as any action taken
remained within the scope of the
treaty of Versailles. The commits
sion would naturally decide as to the
date of the meeting, while the rep
resentatives of the different govern
ments on the commission would be
supposed to follow the instructions
of their governments as to the COM
position of the committee.
The understanding here is that the
committee will be made up of rep
resentatives of Great Britain, the
United States, France, Belgium and
italy.
