hand. If the survey brings out that
the river as greater waterway is
valuless. all efforts. which have been
made to have tmiprevonofbmod

LEAGUE GRANTS
BRITISH PLEA
To Postpone Consideration of
Geneva Peace Protocol
Secret Session


ROME, Dec. 9 (By The Asso-
ciated Press)-The council of the
League of Nations decided at a pri-
vate session today to accede to Eng
lands request and postpone consid-
Grafton of the Geneva peace protocol
and arrangements for disarmament
conference until the March meeting
of the council.
Austen Chamberlain. British Sec
retary for foreign affairs, assured
the council that the British request
was merely a question of delay. The
council accepted this assurance and
adopted resolution declaring in
effect that the retardation author
lied does not in any way prejudice
the protocol.
The sense of the session, it was
stated, was pronounced in the view
that the protocol was a living instru-
ment, as evidenced by the fact that
II was signed yesterday by Spain
while the British move for adjourn
ment of the discussion was still
pending.

The location selected is unusually

contemplate the bridge. which would
be short enough to permit of suffi-

The Perth Amhov structure was
begun as a utilitarian structure and
was too far advanced when the idea
of designating it as 'Victory Bridge"
was conceived to permit of much

of the advisory board. To place tab

MOVE TO END
EXCISE BOARD
Aldermen Take Action on
Ordinance Creating That
Body Years Ago

First steps were taken by the
aldermen last night for the abolish
ing of the excise board. This step
consisted in passing of an ordinance
on first reading which repeals the
ordinance approved on March 5.
1888, providing an excise board. The
ordinance as passed on first reading
last night by a unanimous vote Is to
take effect according to law.
The principal work of the excise
board, that of granting of licenses to
saloons and barrooms, ceased when
the prohibition act became effective.
Since that time the only work COM
Ing before the board has been that
of supervision and granting of IL
censes to pool parlors. BY abolish
Ing the board the aldermen turn
$1,000 to other channels. that sum
being paid to the five commissioners
on the board at the rate of 5000 a
year each. The work now being
done by the excise board will be con-
tinued by an aldermanic committee.
A motion was passed for the hold
ing of a special meeting of the alder
men on the night of December 10 at
which the ordinance will be taken
up on second and final passage.
Resolutions were passed for the
following:
Auth horizing an agreement with
the Lehigh Valley Railroad for a
sewer und er the tracks of the rail-
road in New Brunswick avenue; au-
thorizing an agreement with the c.
Pardee Steel Company for a sewer
across their land in Kennedale Park;
authorizing an agreement with the
Perth Amboy- Woodbridge Railroad
Company for a sewer in Lehigh

be set aside by the city for this pur-
pose, and urged that this amount be
placed in the budget for 1925.

BISHOP! BAST
UNDER ARREST
Charge Made in Copenhagen
Against Leader Who Has
Spoken in This City

Rev. DR.. Anton Bast. American
Methodist Episcopal bishop for Scan
dinavia, who spoke at the local Dan
ish Methodist Episcopal church on
October 26, was arrested on Sunday
night at Copenhagen on charge OF
misrepresentation of charity funds.
The complaint was made by Rev. Mr..
Ingerslev, head of the great Central
Mission organization, and certain
Methodists who have been dissa tis-
fed with the activities of Mr.. Bast.
Charges of the same nature We're
brought against the bishop last year.
1t was alleged at that time that the
bishop had been mixing his own in
terests with the money collected for
charity through the Central Mission
and Rev. Mr.. 1ngerslev
who arrived in Denmark two years
ago after training in the United
States, and the dissatisfied Metho-
dists, started a campaign against DR..
Rast.
An investigation was made and 1t
was found that DR.. Bast was unjustly
accused. He left Denmark for
American and visited this city where
he spoke on October 20. It was on
his return trip to Denmark that he
was re-arrested.
