RIPPER VETO
IS OVER RIDDEN
BY LAWMAKERS
Hoffman'S Bill to Repeal Easy
Divorce Measure Is
Also Adopted
AT SESSIONS TODAY
Confirmation of katzenbach
Is Still Held Up by Senate
in Same Case

TRENTON, Jan. 29-The senate
of the New Jersey legislature today
passed the Richards bill over Gov
ernor Silzer's veto by vote of 12-4.
The bill gives the Bridge and Tun-
mel Commission instead of the at
torney gsneral the power to appoint
counsel for the commission.
The House, also in session. passed
the Hoffman bill to repeal the
Blackwell act by which extreme
cruelty was made ground for di-
vorce in this state. The vote was
4S-S.
This measure occasioned the
longest debate of the session. dur
ing which Miss May Carty, assembly
woman from Hudson county, made
her maiden speech, in which she
favored the reneal bill.
Governor Silzer today sent to the
legislature a message on the coal
situation supplementing his annual
paper. The governor urged that the
legislature of New Jersey take
prompt and effective stGps to bring
relief and prevent suffering and
hardship in the future"
Remedies which the message had
been suggested so that in the fu-
ture our people may be assured of
an adequate supply of coal at a
reasonable price" were: to call upon
the state of Pennsylvania to adopt
such measures as might deem advis-
able to control the situation so far as
it lies within the power of that
state; to urge upon congress the
necessity of regulating the industry
and to enact such legislation within
New Jersey to deal adequately with
the situation after the coal is out
of the interstate jurisdiction and in
the possession of local dealers.
Shortly before the receipt of the
governors message the Bowling as
sembly bill making 2240 ponds the
legal weight of a ton of anthracite
at retail was recommended. Debate
on the measure indicated much OPP
position.
In disappearing the measure. the
governor declared that its purpose
was the preservation of political
jobs and the creation of new ones.
He declared that it gave the tunnel
board power to appoint as many
legal assistants as 1t pleased and to
pay them such salaries as it desired,
with no check upon the action of
the tunnel commission.
The executive, in his veto message
sent into the senate. asserted that 1t
was unfortunate that one of the first
bills to be introduced land passed
in great haste" was this bill when,
said Mr. Silzer. there were so many
important and pressing problems re-
quiring the attention of the legisla-
ture.
81 do no believe that the people
of New Jersey are so much interest
ed in who holds the jobs as they are
in seeing. that the work is well,
economically and honestly done, .
said the executive veto.
The governor also took a fling at
the tunnel commission by saying
that it came into existence through
ripper" legislation which was
purely partisan, and that the board
has continued as such. BY reason

Problems, Says the President,
to Be Worked Out by
Special Counsel

u WASHINGTON, Jan. lJ.--
President Coolidge asked a dl-
rect question by callers to his Of
fee today, relative to the Robin
son resolution requesting the re-
signation of secretary DENLY, re-
Piled that it was a matter he did
not care to discuss.
These two problems are to be
worked out by the special coun-
sci to be employed by the Presi-
dent, and there is no indication
that the executive at this time is
contemplating any additional ac-
ton. He discussed the matter
today at a cabinet session lasting
two hours. <
The President considers the
whole oil leasing investigation as
having resolved itself into two
major problems for the executive
branch of the government-F'irst,
to determine whether there was
criminal liability, and second, to
ascertain whether the leases are
legal and to the best interests OF
the government. All other mat
ters are of lesser Importance in
his opinion.
Selection of counsel to prosecute
tn, oil lease cases, it was indicated
today at the White House, is being
held up to await action by the senate
on the Walsh resolution. In event
of adoption of this resolution, the
President desires that the men Sc
lected be confirmed by the senate.

SENATE ACTION
TO KILL LEASE
Also to Disavow Acts of For
mer Secretary Fall-Cabi-
net at Long Meeting

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. - The
swirling storm of senate protest
against the Fall oil leases embraced
today an ever-wid dening circle.
With senate action to disavow. the
acts of former Secretary Fall assur-
ed, attempts Were instigated on the
Democratic side to drive both Secre-
tary DENLY and Attorney General
Daugherty out of the Cabinet.
After a Cabinet meeting at which
the whole situation was discussed
Mr.. DENLY announced he had no in
tention o. resigning and wanted a
record vote on the Robinson resolu-
ton asking him to do so. From the
senate floor Senator Robinson re-
piled thai such vote would be
sought at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
At the Department of Justice 1t
was indicated that Mr.. Daugherty.
who is in Florida, had entertained
no intention of retiring from office.
A resolution, asking for his removal
and making references to unprose-
cuted charges made both in the vet
Grams inquiry and the oil investiga-
tion, was drawn up by Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, Montana.
Although he went over the whole
ground at the cabinet meeting. Pres
ident Coolidge delayed for the pres
ent his choice of special counsel to
prosecute the oil cases. He expects
to act after the senate, probably late
today, has adopted the Walsh reso-
luton asking for such prosecution.
He will ask for senate confirmation
for the men he selects.
AS during yesterdays session the
senate debate today ran scale of the
entire leasing problem, although the
measure Immediately under consid-
GRAFTON was the Walsh annulment
resolution.

TO AVOID DRAFTS.
Why Train Passengers Sleep With
Heads Toward Engine.
From the Pullman News.


Pullman berths are made down with
the head. or pillows, toward the loco
motive as all travellers know. AL
though this has been the custom FOR
some 50 years. number of patrons
have recently written asking the why
of it.
There are two good reasons. and
both founded on common sense. Ear
ly in sleeping car history il VS. dis
covered that passengers suffered less
from drafts if they slept with their
heads toward the engine. the head
boards being ample protection. I'm
mediately this became standard prac-
tice and has remained so.
In the early days when some pas
sengers favored sleepingNith their
foot toward the head of fhe trH IN the
second objection was discovered. Not
only were drafts more notice. bic. but
if window was opened talwayS by
the feet today) the passenger
found a pile OF cinders and dust re-
posing upon him on awakening. and
he also had steady stream OF the
Sd me in his face all night. Even with
both screened windows opened in ex-
tremely hot weather. passengers in
variably find the most cinderS at the
foot of the berth. due to the speed of
the ira in and the consequent def1ec-
ton of the air currents from the head
end.
