MESSAGE UNFAVORABLE

CHRISTIANIA, Nov. ~ (By The
Associated Press):-The Norwegian
explorer, Otto Sverdrup, today told
the Berlingeke Tidende that the lat
est message he had received from
Raoul Amundsen's exploration ship,
The Maud, was "unfavorable." He
expressed the fear that the plan to
drift past the North Pole in the
Arctic ice foes would have to be
given up.
DIR. Fiidtjof Nansen, the explorer,
is said to interpret the message from
The Maud to mean that the vessel
has abandoned the drift and is now
trying to get back to Bering Strait.
He believes The Maud has exhausted
her oil supplies and must depend on
her sails to reach safety.

Cnrernnr Seen Here

Although there was considerable
rain during the night in certain parts
of South Jersey, no announcement
was made up to noon tine today
taking the ban off hunting. Cover
nor George S. Silzer, when inter-
viewed here at noon today, said that
all announcements removing the ban
would be made by the Fish ana
Game Commission at Trenton.
The governor was of the opinion
that the ban might be lifted from
some of the southern counties If the
commission considered it safe.
The governor declared he does not
want to see the forests and hunting
both destroyed. which would happen
if fires swept the forests of the
state, burning off not only the wood
land but also destroying the game.
He was of the opinion the gunners
hold the same view of the matter.

TRENTON, Nov. 12.-State Forest
Fire Warden Leonidas Coyle today
said he would not recommend to
Governor Silzer the lifting of the ban
on hunting invoked last week be-
cause of the unusually dry condition
of the woodland. The governors
proclamation stopping hunting except
for wild fowl on the salt marshes
contemplates lifting of the embargo
when recommended by the forestry
bureau.
Coyle today said the heaviest rain
fall in the state last night was in At
lantic, Cape May, Cumberland and
Salem but today's weather indications
were for cool and colder weather.
The hunting season which opened
officially November 10 VIII be OFF,
cially closed December Is.
State house officials say the hunts
men fear a tracking snow before
DECEMBER 8 which would outlaw
hunting.
/. Mr.. Coyle indicated that he would
not act in the matter until having
conferred with the governor. Efforts
to reach the executive to ascertin
whether he would sanction letting
down the bars to hunters proved
fruitless.
It is indicated that steps may be
taken to lift the prohibition against
hunting in south Jersey while keep
ing it enforced in other parts OF the
state The woods there have been
made temporarily safe because OF
the falling of a drlzziing rain Tor
thirty-six hours. According TO Fire
Warden Coyle, who has been receiv-
ing reports from state forest hre
officials, wind conditions are such
that twenty-four hours might make
the situation as bad as ever.

Grant. president of the chamber : Julius II. Barnes, former president and Lewis E. Pearson, president of the chambers executive committee.
 "The administration has played a great part in tax relief" the committee said in statement isued after the con- ference with the president.

 Congressional leaders generally have approved the suggestion made by Mir. Coolidge in his annual and budget mes sagps for postponement of tax legis- lation until the next session of con- gress. Such postponement would per init the converting this summer of con terence along the lines originally sug,, yested by Mir. Coolidge and advocated today by the chamber of commerce.

of his own companions in the federa- tion, follows in part:
 "It was on May p that President Gompers was taken from his office in Washington to hospital room in New York. It was really then that the fatal illness began. His amazing recupera- tion over the period of the American Federation of Labor convention and the Pan-American Federation of Labor convention was but triumphant inter- Jude. Those who knew him will al ways be convinced that it was an al most miraculous victory of will power over failing flesh.
 Talks For One Hour
 '"The democratic national convention came and Mir. Gompers, coming in from Brighton, stood on his feet and talked for nearly an hour. When he had finished he seemed scarcely to know his friends, but his talk had been clear and concise to the last word. He watched the convention from Brighton. There his associates went to report to him. There he summoned them after the close of the convention and there he told them that, in his opinion, there was but one course to pursue-a course long since known. It was the old fight ing voice in feeble frame that called to the workers to support La Toilette.
 Opened Convention
 "In August the American Fedora ton of Labor executive council met in Atlantic City. The sessions were opened by Mir. Gompers, but he was unable to preside through the conclu- sion of the sessions. The meetings were overcast with the gloom of the impending approach of death.
 '"Few who saw Samuel Gompers in those days expected that he could find the strength to go to Fl Paso for the annual convention of the American Fed eration of Labor.
 Then on November came the de- parture from Washington for the long trip to Fl Paso and Mexico City. There seemed no ill effects from the railway journey to the border city. And the Samuel Gompers who stood on the platform at Fl Paso was q remarkable Samuel Gompers."

 Two special coaches on regular M. K. T. train waited at the depot for their noted passenger and the labor of ficials who had been MT. Gompers of- ficial council in life and were now his chief mourners in death.
 The rear observation coach was made yeady to receive the casket, while mem- bers of the labor group were to oc- cupy sleeping car just ahead. Two beds were placed in the funeral car, near the casket for the labor officials who will act as the watch and guard on the journey. Plans were made to have at least two comrades of the late leader on watch at all times.
 Council To Escort Him Home
 Members of the executive council of the federation have been sent tele- graphic requests to board the train at points on the route nearest their homes so that the full council may escort the fallen president to his home in Washington.
 Sixteen stops are listed on the trains itinerary as it goes to Washington. The first stop will be at Fort Worth tomorrow morning at z :45 o'clock. From then on the stops in order will be: Dennison, McAlester, Okla; Mus kogee, Vinita, Okla.; Parsons, Kans. i; Sedalia, Mo-; St. Louis, Vincennes, Ind; Mitchell, lnd.; North Vernon. Cincinnati. Midland City, Ohio; Park ersburg. w. Va; Granton, Cumber- land, Md, and then to Washington.
 Services are to be held in Washing ton and the body is to be taken to New York Wednesday morning, where further services probably will be held and funeral oration preached by some one to be selected. Burial will be in Sleepy Hollow cemetery at Tarrytown, N. Y.
 The death of Samuel Gompers had been felt to be near for some time by closest friends and co-workers, accord ing to an official statement issued to- night by the publicity department of the federation. For months the Grand Old Man." as they called him, had been going on his nerve"

Arrest Of Pair For Open Kissing
 Arouses Paris

PARIS, Dec. 13.-Prohibition in regard to alcohol has hitheto pro- voked merely laugh but all France feels itself outraged by the action of representative or the law in hailing a young business man of Bordeaux and his sweet heart who were guilty of the awful crime of kissing in public.
 The high courts of France will be called upon to decide whether Police Inspector Chassaigne, what ever may have been his individual opinions, had a right to see an out rage against public morality in the fact that Andre Massart, not hav- ing seen his fiance for several months, imprinted public recogni- ton of his joy on the girls lips in full view of all the diners.
 Chassaigne insisted that he didn't object to one kiss. That happens to everybody once in while. But, according to the local newspapers, Chassaigne jumped up after having eyed the offenders and said:
 You have not only offended against article S39 of the civil code, but you have rendered yourselves guilty of aggravating circumstances by repeating the offense after my warnings
 Massart, handcuffed, was taken to the station. His fiance joined him there some minutes later, hav- ing been permitted to take taxi cab. They were kept all night. In the morning the prosecutor-gen- eral told them to go but to be care full. Nassart has asked the Paris department of justice to give rul- ing.
