Embellishments Unite
With Democrats
WASHINGTON, Jal

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The
House struggles again today with
the proposed new rule to enable
mem bers by petition to institute pro-
ceedings for the discharge of COM
mittees from consideration of legis-
lation, after failing twice yesterday
to fix the number of petitioners to
be required.
Each of the contending groups in
the rules revision battle--the organ
ization Republicans and the COM
bined Democratic and Republican
insurgent forces-was victorious yes
terday, the former losing by vote
OF 205 to 1S5 on a proposal by Rep
resentative Graham, Republican, IL
linois, that the names of at least
half the House membership be re-
quired on such petitions but sue
ceeding shortly afterward in defeat
ing an effort to place the number
at 100, the second ballot being 225 to
163. This left the rules committees
recommendation of $50 signatures,
around which the fight is centered,

LOCAL RECOUNT
IS NEARING END
Perth Amboy Ballots Should
All Be Counted by Tomor-
roW-Many Blanks

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. 1S-
The recount of the third, poll of the
sixth ward of Perth Amboy yester-
day afternoon resulted in another
large batch of blank ballots being
found, as far as votes for the Re-
publican freeholder candidates and
Klemmer Kalteissen one of the
Democratic freeholder candidates,
were concerned. There were sixty
seven of these ballots, many of
which contained votes for only one
freeholder. John Bird, showing that
the Democrats in that poll were en-
deavoring to make sure of the cleo
ton of Perth Amboy Democratic
candidate.
The recount of this poll in the
sixth ward favors Kalteissen slight
ly. The original vote gave Dey, 374:
Orpen, 1862; Quakenbush, S91. and
Kalteissen, 1919. The recount shows
Dey with 36S: Orpen. 355; Quak-
enbush, 1856, and Kalteissen, 1913.
There were six Orpen and three
Kalteissen votes referred.
The first poll of the sixth ward
was recounted this morning, result
ing in eighty-seven more blank ball
lots being found which had been
cast by Democratic voters in that
poll. 1t was thought most of the
litting of Kalteissen had been done
in the fifth ward but the inspection
of the ballots of the first and third
polls of the sixth ward show that the
work was carried on In these dis
tricts on just as broad scale as in
the fifth ward. In a majority sof
the cases in the first poll. Bird was
the only candidate for freeholder
who received vote on the eighty
seven ballots which were otherwise
blank as far as freeholder choices
were concerned.
The original count in this poll
was Dey. III: Orpen, 149; Quaken-
bush, 200; Kalteissen, 244. The re-
count vote was Dey, 172: Orpen, 147:
Quakenbush, zoe: Kalteissen, 239.
There were two Republican and sew
en- Democratic ballots referred.
With only two more polls to count
In order to complete the Amboy re-
count, the county election board
mem bers had hopes of finishing up
the Perth Amboy count this after
noon. 1t did not appear possible
to do this early this morning but a
speeding up of the count was no.
ticed all during the day.

OPPOSE SOLDIERS BONUS

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S:-A reso-
luton opposing a soldiers bonus
was made public today by the Au-
gustus P. Gardner Post of the
American Legion with the consent of
the District of Columbia depart
ment's executive committee. The
committee, however, emphasized
that 1t did not endorse "any Of the
subject matter" of the resolution,
merely acting on the posts request
for permission to make 1t public.
The resolution expressed the opin-
lon that "the silence of large num-
Der of posts throughout the legion
has given false impression of prac-
tical unanimity' for a bonus, but
the committee. stating that the post
included only five per cent of the
legion members in the department,
declared it's action demonstrated
how small the minority of veterans
who oppose adjusted compensation
really is.

Tampico Not in Danger

HOUSTON, Texas, Jan. 1S:-Ac-
cording to information received to-
day by Houston oil companies hav-
ing interests in the Mexican fields
below Tampico yesterdays bonn
bardment was not in the direction
of Tampico and that city Is In no
danger. Some fifteen shells were
fred, but out to sea.
Two rebel gunboats were bottled
up in the Panuco river between the
shore line and Tampico, the latter
five miles back from the mouth or
the Panuco river. One of these
boats slipped out to sea wednesday
right. The other rebel gunboat
made a futile effort to join its COM
panions
The federals had erected emer-
gency fortifications at La Barra on
the north side of the Panuco river
and at it's mouth. The second boat
fired on the emergency fortifications
and some of the shells fell on the
beach at Miramar, farther to the
north and close to some Chinese
refreshment stands serving the
bathers The attempt failed, how
ever. and the rebel boat is still lying
In the Panuco river.
1t is generally believed that neith-
err the rebels nor federals have any
wish to destroy or interfere with
the oil field operations and hence
Tampico is safe.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The SIT
uation in Mexico, complicated re-
Gently by declaration of revolution
ist blockade at Tampico, was consio-
cred by President Coolidge ana MS
advisers today at one of the longest
cabinet sessions in recent months.
There we're indications that more
active steps to protect American In
terests in the blockaded port were
considered at the meeting but capl-
net members said afterward that any
announcement must come from the
President. White House officials
were silent.
THE Revolutionary leader De La
unerta has been warned that the
United States will not permit en-,
oroachnnent upon its commerclai
rights in Tampico. but some ON
ciais incline to the belief tnat 2
warming alone will not be sulnGle,. =

fusal of the acting governor of Texas
to permit passage of Mexican feoeral
.roops across that state, privilege

in Mexico City. New Mexico ana
Arizona already have given permls-
sion for such troop movement
within their borders in order to facil-
tate Obregon's operations against
the rebels in the north, and 1t was
indicated that there still was hope
here that similar step eventually
would be taken also by the state OH
cials of Texas.
AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. 1S-Permis-
sion to transport Mexican federal
troops across Texas was refused to-
day by Acting Governor L. w. Da,
vison in a telegram to Secretary OF
State Hughes. Possibility of trouble
with Mexican residents on the Texas
border prompted the refusal, the
acting governor said.
Although formal protest was ad-
dressed to the governor of Texas last
night by Reincaldo Esparza Marti-
nez, representative at San Antonio OF
the De La Huerta revolutionists, and
opposition to the proposed troop
movement was expressed by Mayor
r. M. Dudley of Ell Paso. there IL

Our holiday time is over and as We
stand on the threshold of a new veal
we have pleasant memory of the
jolly parties, fun and laughter, the
many happy reunions and the hearty
good wishes of kith and kin for the

We hear it is quite fashionable now
to tug furiously at the rope of we'd
ding bells in keeping with the Christ
mas spirit, at least one of our pOpu-
lar young men says so, for on Deem
Der 25th, Carlton L. Lingo, son of Mr..
and Mrs. A. H. Lingo, and Miss Villa
Z. Messick of MillsborO, slipped along
to Maryland and were married. The
happy couple are enjoying a tour
through the Southern States. There is
rumor that their example will soon
be followed by others.
Moving time has rolled around
again and several are changing their
residences and getting settled in their
new homes. Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Barto
have moved on what is known as the
Bull-Eye Farm, belonging to L. P.
Fawcett.

place they have vacated.

on the Lingo farm which has been oc-
cupied for some years by Warren T.
Wright.
I. W. Harmon has moved in his new
house at Frames Point.
Miss Edith M. Barto who has been
spending the holidays with her par
ents, has resumed her school duties
in Wilmington.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. R. Lingo spent

lloyment.

ives in this vicinity.
