tary Weeks has received still another
proposition for disposition of the
Muscle Shoals project.
Details of the new plan have not
been disclosed. but 1t contemplates

with proviso that title to the
property remain with the govern
ment and that the way be left open

The new proposal still is tentative
but the war secretary said it came
from entirely responsible people.
He declined to reveal the source.

GIRL IS SLAIN
At ELIZABETH
Miss Ellen Alber is MortaIIy
Wounded by Filipino
at her Home

ELIZABETH, Jan. 10-Miss Ellen
Alber, seventeen, was shot three
times and mortally wounded by Felix
Salazar, twenty-five. a Filipino, at
her home here today. The shooting
took place about 8 o'clock in the
hallway of the girls home, where
Salazar awaited her. She died in
the General Hospital shortly after.
Salazar was arrested and is said by
the police to have confessed to the
killing.
Salazar apparently had awaited
Miss Alber in the hallway of her
home at 272 Second street. He fired
six shots at her as she came out to
go to her work. Three shots went
wild, the others hitting her in the
right side, just above the heart and
in the head. Salazar then fled and
was caught outside the house by
Frank Carberry, who heard the shots
as he was passing.
1t was said that Salazar had
threatened the girl a few days ago,
who identified him as her assailant
before she died in the hospital.
Mrs. Younginger, with whom Miss
Albert lived, opened a window and
screamed when she heard the shots
and a neighbor telephoned for the
police. Carberry held Salazar until
the latter arrived, when he was
taken to the hospital. After Miss
Albert identified him he was taken
to police headquarters, where, ac-
cording to the police, he confessed.
He is being held there.
The police found Salazar's empty
20 calibre revolver in the hallway.

George Washington is Presi-

Hughes U. S. Senators

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 10
President Coolidge has his place OF
residence in Perth Amboy.
George Washington is the Presi-
dent of the United States.
Morgan F. Larson and (Char1es
Evans) Hughes are the United
States senators from New Jersey.
The laws of this country are made
by the vice president.
These four statements were among
the answers made by applicants for
citizenship papers in naturalization
court here yesterday four men also
admitting that they did not know
who George S. Silzer was.
County Judge Kirkpatrick was
particularly amused at the answer
referring to the vice presidents
power to make the laws he declaring
with smile he was "glad to see
we have some use for a vice presi-
dent"
A total of 113 applicants received
their citizenship papers, 101 of this
number being civilians and twelve,
soldiers. Ten applicants had their
cases continued owing to their not
possessing sufficient knowledge to
secure their papers. Thirteen per-
sons failed to put in an appearance
for the examinations. Eighty more
applicants are scheduled to appear
in naturalization court today.

CUMM|NS HAS
ANOTHER FIGHT
For Position of President Pro-
tenn of the Senate, is the
Washington Outlook

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10:-Reyer-
baton from the months battle in
the senate which resulted in the
election yesterday OF Senator Smith,
Democrat, South Carolina, as chair
man of the interstate commerce
committee over Senator Cummins,
Republican. Iowa, continued today
in the form of rumblings that pre-
saged a somewhat similar fight over
the retention by the Iowa senator
of the Office of president protein.
The House, meanwhile. began
work on the first big appropriation
measures of the session-the inter-
ier department supply bill-which
was reported yesterday by the ap-
propriations committee with the
total cut to $261,727,965. which is
S35,792. 044 less than allotted to the
department last year.
Senator Cummins was defeated for
the interstate commerce chairman
ship on the 32nd ballot, receiving
only twenty-nine votes against
thirty-nine votes for Smith. which
included six cast by Senator LaFol-
lette, Republican. Wisconsin. and
five members of the insurgent group
he heads. Senator Couzen, Repub-
lican, received six votes on the final
ballot.
The likelihood an effort to un-
seat the Iowa senator as president
pro tenn now that the Craftsmanship
fight is out of the way, has brought
out suggestions in some quarters that
certain of the Republican insul nts
and the Farmer-Labor senator's COM
prising the LaFo1lette group might
throw their support to Senator Pitt
man. Democrat, Nevada. The insur-
gents have been described as willing
to vote for Senator Cummins for the
Office if the Democrats =. ..itated a
contest, but an stiles developed
during the Interstate Commerce
Committee deadlock have raised
hopes on the part of some of Sena-
tor Pittman's supporters that their
votes can be counted on in an effort
to elect him.

MATH HANSEN RECOGNIZED
AS OVERSEER OF POOR

Until the court decides the issue
between Math Hansen and Mlchaei
Stumpf, for the position OF overseer
of the Poor, the former. who claims
that he has another year to terni'
will be the overseer recognized IN
the local police court.
This decision was made known
This morning when City Attorney
David t. Wilentz presented poor
complaints in the cases of Mrs. VIII
liam Harding, of Keene, street, and
a Mrs. Auerbach. These complaints
were signed by Stumpf ana foiioW-
ing the action taken by Recorder
Harold e Pickersgill in making
known his stand on the hght, a
summons was issued for Auerpach
on a complaint made by his WIFE
but as Harding is confined at New
Brunswick on a non support cnarse'
no action was taken in this case.
Math Hansen, still recognized In
most quarters, as the overseer OF
the po.r, continues to occupy his
old seat in the corner of the first
bench, and his opponent for the po-
sition. sat on the end of the same
bench this morning. When the
rivals meet, they exchange the time
of day as usual for they have known
each other for years and are not
desirous of allowing job such as
this one to interfere with their
friendship, they say.
Poor cases brought to the atten-
tion of the local court will be taken
care of without an overseer, until
the matter Is settled.

er is given a higher appointment.
II Toolan is not selected for the
prosecutorship 1t is hardly thought
likely he will continue in his pres
ent capacity of assistant prosecutor.
Assistant Prosecutor Toolan is not
the only Democrat seeking the ap-
pointment should Prosecutor Strick-
er be given something better by the
governor. In New Brunswick the
names of County Democratic Chair
man Edmund A. Hayes and Assem-
blyman Fred w. DeVoe are heard.
Former Assistant Prosecutor John
A. Coan, of South Amboy, is also
mentioned as possible choice.
The Hayes constituents argue that
the county chairman has worked
hard fer the organization and is
deserving of the appointment. Too
lan's supporters point to the manner
In which he has conducted the du-
ties of assistant prosecutor and claim
that he is entitled to promotion be-
cause of the conscientious and ca
pable manner in which he has done
his work in the prosecutors office.

PROGRESS MADE ON R. R.
DETOUR LINE IN CITY

Progress is being made on the
changes necessary on the nortn
shore branch of the Central rail-
road. at the location of the new
state bridge across the Raritan river.
This branch line consists of one
track at the bridge site and is used
only for the movement of freight
trains from the various plants on
the north shore of the Raritan river
to the main line. Some changes were
necessary in the track in order 10
meet the requirements for the new
bridge and work has been going on
for some days past.
Work is also progressing raploly
on the changes necessary on the
main line tracks near the Rarltan
Copper Works where the new trunk
line sewer will cross under the road
bed. Trains operating to the south
are being sent over a specially laid
detour track, while the work OF
bridging the rails on the main line
has been going on. 1t is likely that
this work, which is the first actuai
work to be done in connection with
the grade crossing elimination, VIII
take several weeks to complete.

EXPLOSIONS ARE CAUSED
BY BLASTING AT PLANT

Two explosions about 10 o'clock
this morning, were the cause of con-
siderable comment about the city.
The reports were caused by the
blowing up of some old foundations
at the Standard plant of the Nation
al Fire Proofing Company. Some
months ago the Standard plant was
destroyed by fire and as the rebuild
ing operations have begun, 1t was
found necessary to clear the land of
some of the old foundations. so they
were blasted out. No damage was
done and no one injured.

Police Investigation
Following the report OF the sfnks
ing yesterday morning, Lieutenaht
Detective Joseph Gutowski went to
the scene and learned that Ca aptain
Conklin had been placed. in charge
of the barge the night before the y
sinking. A man named Gaffney had
previously been in charge and he sse-
turned to New York following the
arrival of his successor. The woman
unknown to Conklin. according to
the police, was left behind.
The Green-Clay came to the local j
plant for q load of hollow building
tile and seventy tons had been placed
aboard the day before the accident.
It is believed that large pieces OF
ice damaged the barge and its filling
with water caused the sinking. AS

in the past carried more than its
present load. The tile viii be takeu'
