BREACH
WITH COOLIDGE
AND DEMOCRATS
Of Senate Following Presi-
dents Vigorous Message
Given Out Yesterday
OFFERED
Relating to Inquiry Now in
Progress-MeIIon Is Now
Brought Into Matter

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Differ-
ences between President Coolidge
and senate Democrats over the con-
duct of tigation-particula
the one dealing with the internal
revenue bureau-have developed to-
ward an open breach.
In addition to the Presidents Wig
orous message admonishing 1T to
confine the activities of it's COM
mittees within constitutional and
legal rights" the senate has before
it two resolutions relating to the in
quiry-one by Chairman Watson,
Republican, Indiana, proposing dis
charge of the committee, and another
by Senator Jones, of New Mexico, a
Democratic member of the commit
tee, proposing authority to employ
counsel at the senate's expense.
Senator Watson's resolution was
introduced prior to receipt of the
Presidents message, which trans
mitted letter from Secretary Mel
lon. but after the committee had
voted TO to permit Senator Couz-
ems, Republican, Michigan, to employ
Francis J. Heney of California, as
special counsel at his own expense.
Mr.. Mellon said this action made
it "obvious" that Senator Couzens'
sole purpose is to vent some personal
grievance against me- and declared
he was unwilling to take the respon-
sibility for the treasury "if some one
else is going to run that depart
ment" The latter statement was re-
garded by some as a threat to resign.
but President Coolidge viewed it
merely as notice that he could not
be responsible for maintaining etfi-
cheney in the face of "unwarranted
interference"
Senator Jones' resolution was in
troduced during the storm of discus
sion which followed receipt of the
Presidents message, and was laid on
the table beside the Watson measure
with indications that action would
not be sought on either until the
return of Senator Couzens, who is
ill. MIR. Coolidge referred to the
employment of Heney as exceeding
the Legitimate requirements" of the
inquiry, which he termed IAN attack
being made on the treasury depart
ment."

New Legal Obstacles

WASHINGTON, April 12:-The
Daugherty investigating committee,
which encountered new legal OBJ
stacles yesterday in Ohio, spent to-
day drawing up plans for its future
procedure, and held no public hear
ing.
Chairman Brookhart, returning
from Washington Court House,
Ohio. conferred with his colleagues
over the best method of meeting the
court stay issued against the COM
mittee there yesterday, which re-
suited in failure to get at the re-
cords of Washington Court House
banks and in the refusal of several
witnesses to testify.
A hearing had been set for today,
but the committee members found
themselves too busy with other
things to continue their examination
of witnesses. In addition some of
those summoned were not on hand

CROSSINGS HERE
NO 7 EFFECTED
BY COURT RULE
That Is the Opinion as Rem
dered Today by City At
torney WiIentz
SENT TO MAYOR WILSON
Fears Were Held Here that
Ruling Would Tend to
DnlaV Work Here
SENT TO MAYOR WILSON

That the recent opinion of the
supreme court in Washington con-
cerning the California grade cross
ing elimination CASE does not affect
the elimination of the crossings
through this city. is the opinion rem
dered to Mayor william C. Wilson
today by City Attorney David T.
Wilentz. The opinion which explains
itself follows:
April IL, 1924.
Hon. William c. Wilson, Mayor.
Perth Amboy. N. j.
My dear Mayor:
This morning 1 received a copy OF
the opinion in the case of the Rail-
road Commission of California
against Southern Pacific Company
and other companies, which opinion
was delivered by Mr.. Chief Justice
Taft in the Supreme Court of the
United States. 1t was reported in
the New York Herald recently
(Which is the report that you called
to my attention), that according to
the opinion in this case the various
states had no power to order the
elimination of railroad crossings at
grade. OF course, If the newspaper
article was correct in stating the in
depreciation of the opinion in the
case above referred to, it might
have a drastic effect upon the work
contemplated and now bein, carried
on in connection with the elimina-
ton of railroad crossings at grade
in this city.
1t is my belief that the recent
opinion in this California case does
not affect the local situation. The
questions raised in the California
case are of a different nature and II
is my belief that should any ques-
tions arise in connection with the
local improvement, these questions
would be governed by the decision
laid down in the Erie Railroad Com
pany against Board of Public Utility,
254 u. S. 394, wherein the United
States Supreme Court upheld the
decision of the Board of Public IT'LL
ity Commission of this state in or
deriug the Erie Railroad Company
to eliminate it's railroad crossings al
grade.
Chief Justice Taft states. in his
opinion in the California case that IL
is not necessary therein to pass upon
the principle laid down in the Erie
Railroad Company against the
Board of Public Utility (supra). The
opinion in part reads as fol- .ws:
1--WE avoid any inquiry how far H.
at all, the principle laid down in
Erie railroad VS.. Board of Public
Utility, 254 U. S. 394, is qualified by
the provisions of the Transportation
Act. Our only question here trefe :
ring to the California -case) $
whether the power to direct the new
Union station with it's essential in
stances is committed exclusively to
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion under the act of 1920"
incidentally, recently. While
speaking to a railroad official 1t was
suggested by him that the compa-
nies would make no effort to avoid
the proposed program here regard
less of the opinion in the California
case.
| hasten to submit this opinion to
YOU, knowing that you desire this at
the earliest possible moment.
Yours truly,
DAVID T. WILENTZ,
City Attorney.

1 Wheh Harry 1ngalfs Checker Girls
 Revue" opens at the Lyceum on Mon- day Al Lemons will again be in his old position as chief comedian, but there will be a number of new corners to the cast that should be pleasing to local theatcr goers. The costuming of the troupe is new, the song numbers the latest and the specialties original.
 Tonight theater goers will have their last chance of seeing Edna Pur- yiance in Charles Chaplin's first per- sonally written and directed drama
 "A Woman Of Paris" This is not a comedy but a drama about a little French girl who goes to Paris, gets in with the fast set and in the end seems to lose her struggle for real love. There are some gay parties and stu dio attractions in this picture as well as some gripping romantic scenes. The vaudeville offering includes sev- eral fine comedy numbers, eccentric singing and dancing offerings. a good comedian and a remarkably active troupe of Japanese gymnasts who have an entirely new line.
 Beginning tomorrow and continu- ing for the remainder of the week the Lyceum will feature as its photo- play. Hope Hampton in the William Fox special, Docs It Pay?
