M'ADO0 SHOWS GREAT

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. al
CBy The Associated Press)-Claim-

Dental campaign in behalf of Henry

Adoo today began work on a state
platform which they hope may be

CAMP RAR|TAN
ROBBERY TRIAL
Six Men on Trial in FEEDER,
Court for Theft of U. S.
Property

NEWARK, Nov. 21:-Henry Il
SET Justice of the peace, and fN
other men went on trial before Juds
Runyon and a jury in federal cour,
here today on charges of stealing
dreams from the Raritan arsenal
of Raritan, N. j. The five other
defendants are George j. Perpente.
Cecil K. Title, Edward Humphreys,
Edward Timmey, and Edward Rut-
zell.
The indictments also include
of conspiracy, concealing and
dlsposing OF government property,
and were handed down last Feb
ruary 4. The indictments charge
that Title and Timmey took twenty
two cases of army automatic pistols
from the arsenal to the home of
Perpente, at Highland Park, who
agreed with Humphrey and little
to sell the pistols. Bosset is involv-
ed through having executed a docu-
meht purporting to be an authori-
cation from the government of the
sale of the pistols to Title. The
pistols were later sold to a repu-
table New York concern and through
the fraudulent government order
given to this concern the conspiracy
was discovered and the arrests made.
During the morning session of the
court the complexion of the case
was considerably changed when
Federal Judge Runyon granted a
seryance from the case of Humph-
reys and Perpente after it was an
nounced that they had pleaded
guilty to the charges and would tes-
tify for the government. Title
pleaded guilty and this eliminated
him from the case.
One of the counts under which the
men are being tried is that on No
vember 16 at Highland Park, Per-
pente met Humphreys and Pittle and
agreed to dispose of certain govern
ment property and did contract to
steal and embezzle the property. il
is also charged that Pittle secured
from Rutzell, the latter having
charge of the motor transportation
service at the arsenal, a truck. Thai
Timme and Pittle loaded twenty-five
cases of automatic reyolvers and
rifles on the truck and took same
to P~erpente's house in Highland
Park. 1t Is further charged that
Pittle, Perpente and Bosset caused
to be executed a written paper which
was claimed to be the genuine or
dnance order.
This paper it is charged, was wit
messed by Bosset and was drawn
with the idea in view of showing
that the purchase of the stun was
o. X. The men were caught through
the activities of the government
agents after they have offered the
stuff for sale in New York City.
Another court charges all the men
on December 81 conspired to dis
pose of government property, %
sisting of revolvers and rifles. wal
ter D. Van Ripper, is representa- ?
the government.

.SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST
SOON To Be DECIDED
Continued from Page y

claiming would vanish and he would
have at best not more than possibly,
seventeen votes. So the significance
of tomorrow nights pow WOW in Es-
sex is apparent.
There has been talk here that
Senator Pierson has been to Newark
and conferred with Arthur I. Van
derbilt, the political mentor of the
eight "drys" presumably in behalf
of Pascoe. Just what effect this
missionary work upon the part of the
Union senator has remains to be
seen at the coming conference.
Now that the Senate Republicans
have settled their controversy over
a president and a floor leader the
state leaders can focus their entire
attention upon the House organiza-
ton. In the senate fight the friends
of Senator Edge came off victorious.
S~ingularly enough two dry" sup
porters of the wet senior senator
Reeves, of Cumberland. and Bright
of Cape May, were chosen respec-
lively to be senate president and
ena leader for 1924.
Mr.. Edge, who is in the south at
present. may rest on his oars and
let the House organization go to
whom il will. But his chances of
controlling that body this year are
slim anyhow. The possibilities of
the Kean-Baird men having the
upper hand there are brighter than
they were in the senate caucus A
year ago it vas just the reverse.
Edge men dominated the House and
the Observation-Disclosures group
ruled the senate organization. But
neither side has yet held complete
sway over both bodies.
Few of the forty-two Republican
House members were here for gov
errors day" yesterday and Assemb-
lyman Hershfield, Of Passaic, dean
of the lower body, said he had not
fixed a date for the call OF the eau
Gus, as very few requests had come
to him to do so. Usually all the
members-elect flock to Trenton to
go over the situation, but it is APP
parent that many either Of their
own will or by advice. are staying
away until they can determine just
whom they are going to support for
speaker.
Mr.. Pascoe was here yesterday,
but MI. Corio was not noticed in
the corridors. Howe and Bostock
the two Essex candidates for speak
er, were also noticed mingling in
the corridor groups. Bostock said
his candidacy began last March,"
There was lot much buttonhohng
for votes because outside of the
candidates few other House mem
bers were present, Assemblyman
! Powell. of Burlington, and De Lor-
enc, of Bergen. candidates for floor
leader were also present. To date
this is a very tame fight. with Pow
ell apparently we'll in the lead. In
deed the suggestion was made ves-
terday from one quarter that there
might be a compromise by naming
Powell for speaker.
The. Howe candidacy is the only
surface evidence of the Edge in
fiuence in the House fight. Howe is
a protege of Jesse Salmon. Chancery
Court clerk, and Edge lieutenant.
The talk of making Powell. who is
a dry. speaker emanated from an
Edge source too.

INSTRUCTIONS
TO LORD CREWE
Received by Ambassador at
Paris Regarding Note to be
Sent to Berlin

PARIS. Nov. 21.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press)-Lord Crewe, the
British ambassador, received in
strrctions from London this morn
ing regarding the note the allies are
to send to Germany. 1t was then
announced that the council of am
bassadors would meet this afternoon.
One little word-the word CON
Suits what has been delaying
final action by the council on the
note since Monday, 1t appears IRON
today's developments. The decision
reached by the ambassadors decision
on that day was that h note to
Germany would set forth the allied
demand that the military clauses of
the peace treaty be complied with
and that If Germany failed to satisfy
that demand the allies would con
suit" as to what action the situation
called for.
LONDON, Nov .21 (By The Asso-
.ciated Press :-The British govern
ment's final instructions to Lord
Crewe. the British ambassador at
Paris, for handling the delicate sit
nation which during the past week
has threatened the existence of the
entente were forwarded to Paris
early today. Foreign office officials
expressed the hope that definite and
permanent beneficial results for the
entente itself and for the entente's
relations with Germany would be
achieved by the meeting of the
council of ambassadors in Paris this
afternoon.
The French willingness to meet
the British half way on the terms
of the allied note to be dispatched to
Germany is said here to have been
the salvation of the situation, Pre-
mier Poincare having given way or
the three chief points involved dur
ing the negotiations between Paris
and London which terminated last
night.
M. Poincare has assured the Brit
ish, in the first place that the ulti-
matum feature could be deleted
from the German note; secondly
that the request for the expulsion oil
the ex-crown prince from Germany
could be dropped, and thirdly, thai
no definite penalties were to be
threatened Immediately.
The British believe a nailed note
along these lines will enable the
German government to accept the
situation without endangering its po-
sition.
Whether Germany succeeds as {
British spokesman put it today, il
maintaining ''her traditional role
of playing the foor' remains to bt
seen when the moment comes fol
Berlin to reply to the allied com
munication.
