Hopes Papers Will Permit
News of Court Proceed
ings Ex-Banker Says

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Frank A.
Vanderlip, retired banker. in a re-
ply today to the 100000 libel suit
filed against him yesterday by the
owners of the Marion Star, declared
he welcomed the suit and expressed
the hope that it would be the fore
runner of court proceedings that
would make public some of the news
that the great newspapers did not
see fit to print"
II am prepared to spend quite as
much as has been asked for in these
court proceedings in an effort to
make public this news" the state
ment said, adding that there is
nothing this country needs so much
at the moment as some court pro-
ceedings initiated by grand juries
and pressed by incorruptible prose-
cutting attorneys"
The statement continued:
Twenty-Five months ago, in April,
1922, the senate, hv unanimous res
olution, called for the facts in the
Teapot Dome leases. That resolu-
ton was so framed that the red flag
of suspicion was run up. For weeks
no answer at all was received and
none was pressed for and thereafter
until quite recently. the search for
the facts was made without vigor
What were the newspapers doing for
22 months? What was Senator
Walsh doing? 1t looks as if some
body had been asleep at the switch
or perhaps asphyxiated at the
switch. At least, no court proceed
lngs have yet resulted from the Tea
pot Dome situation.
Nor have there been, so far as
| am aware, any C1 srt proceedings
initiated as a result of the criminal
mismanagement of the Veterans Bu-
reau. The wholesale dishonesty
there is not matter of rumor; it is
a matter of official record in the
committee proceedings and the pro-
ceedings of congress and Mr.. Forbes
and his friends have as yet en-
countered no court proceedings.
There have been no proceedings
nor even thorough Investigation OF
the alien property administration.
There are other directions in which
court proceedings would be admir-
able.
Congress today is spending its
time solemnly and partisanly debat-
ing an income tax measure. 1t is
ike discussing the size of a faucet
you would put in a barrel leaking
between half the slaves. If we can
have an honest administration of the
taxes that are collected the rate of
income tax will take care of itself.
If this country were invaded by
an alien foe and 1 were a young
man. l believe l would offer myself
for its defense. 1t has been at
tackled by something more danger
GUS than a military invasion by a
foreign foe. Corruption has attacked
the government at its heart. l be-
lieve 1 am a patriotic citizen and
propose to Offer the same service in
fighting this danger that a young
man should offer in fighting a mill
tary invasion. l am really enlisted
in this matter because of profound
conviction.
MY attitude hides no motives of
partisanship. l have been a life
long Republican. I believe that the
facts are not fully presented to the
country and even when presented
are not being acted upon."

ADDITIONAL BOAT FOR
BARBER ASHALT co.


The Barber Asphalt Company has
added an additional boat to their
fleet of vessels carrying asphalt and
crude oil from the British West In
dies and South, America to their
plant in this city. The new steamer,
which has been chartered by the
company and which completed its
first trip in the asphalt trade when
she arrived at the plant today. is the
Skogheim.
This makes a total of five vessels
now under charter to the Barber
company. The other four are Fran,
Nature, Mayaro and Maraval. The
Matura, Mayaro and Marayal ply be-
tween the plant here and the asphalt
lakes in the British West Indies,
while the Fran and Skogheim run
between the plant and the asphalt
lakes in South America.
The Nora sailed today from the
plant of the Mexican Petroleum
Company in Carteret for Mexico. The
vessel carries a general cargo.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2I.-Provi-
sions of the revenue bill relating 70

further tightened today by the House
with adoption of an amendment sub
iecting earnings on stock redeemed
by corporations in liquidation pro-
ceedings to regular income rates

An amendment proposed by Rep
resentative Dickinson, Republican,
Iowa. proposing to make farmers
and mutual insurance companies ex-
empt from tax also was adapted by
viva voce vote.
An amendment exempting benevo-
lent mutual life insurance associa-
tions, mot operated for profit" then
was adopted. 9S to 81. on a tellers'
vote.
A stubborn contest over the in
come rates voted into the bill by the
Democrats and Republican insurg-
ents appears certain, with Represen-
tative Longworth, Republican leader,
claiming a detection in the ranks of
the seventeen Republicans who voted
for the Garner schedule. Some of
them. he said. have made overtures
indicating they would like to vote
for a Republican measure.
Leaders are studying the parlia-
mentary strategy involved in such a
contest, and the organization Repub-
licans are centering their attention
on an effort to obtain record vote
on the compromise suggested Tues
day by Mr.. Longwroth calling for a
maximum surtax rate of 81 Y per
cent, and the normal income rates
recommended by Secretary Mellon.

New Brunswick Thought They
Had Gone to South for
Spring Training

NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. 21-For
a time yesterday it was feared that
this city had been effected by the
departure of the major league base
ball combination for the south.
The freeholders baseball team as
the Democrats referred to the jani-
tor force of the county buildings
last fall, was conspicuous by it's abb
sence during the better part of yes
terday when the grounds around the
county buildings should have been
cleared of the snow, slush and water
the remains of the biggest storm of
the present winter.
For some time the janitor force
organized by the Board of Freehold
ers has been noted for its ineffi-
cheney, but yesterday new laurels
were added to the record of the
squad. Only three men, Alfred
Puerschner and two janitcrs, of the
force of nine, turned out yesterday
morning to clear the walks. There
was considerable unfavorable talk
about the conditions about the coun-
ty crumbs by persons who visited
the county buildings on business.
The small paths made by the men
On the job were full of water and
several persons, it is said, who had
counted on good paths waded up to
their neck.
Puerschner who is supposed to
have charge of the awkward and
inefficient" squad, ordered the entire
force out at O'Clock yesterday
the order having been given
the previous night. Only three men
had answered the call up to late
hour yesterday.
Another member of the force de-
cided to air his feet when he spied
Freeholder Clarence Haight on the
scene late yesterday and still an
other decided to spend the balance
of the day leaning on shovel at a
late hour in the afternoon. The re-
naming stars. it Is believed, are still
enjoying their "snooze."
The inactivity of the janitor force
has been up for discussion many
times in the past, for little attention
Is ever given to the county buildings.
It is believed that majority of the
men are of the opinion that they
work hard enough each year around
election time and take the balance
of the year for their vacation.
Puerschner is again expected to
take the matter before the meeting
of the freeholders this afternoon. A
decision will be reached at this time
whether the janitors are to work or
just draw their salary. Pretty soon
their money will have to be deliver
ed.

AVENEL PLANS
To c. 7 DIVORCE
At WOODBRIDGE
Say Township Government
Has Done Nothing to I'M
sove Their Section
PLAN FOR MASS MEETING
High Tax Rate Is Also Given
AS Move to Start Bor-
ough of Own
PLAN FOR MASS MEETING

AvENEL, Feb. 21.-Dissatisfie
with the Woodbridge township re-
Yime for their laxity to improve the
Avenel section" a group of promin-
ent taxpayers and business men
headed by Leo r. Goldberger, for
mer Perth Amboy city attorney, II.
S. Abrams, Committeeman Joseph
FELTON, and a score of others have
instigated a movement here to es-
tablish a borough in Avenel. The
move became known this morning,
when a group of citizens made ten
tative arrangements to lease the
community hall for monster mass
meeting, which probably will be held
on March first.
The movement, according to opin-
lon expressed to reporter of the
Evening News, Is apparently very
popular and meets with the un-
equivocal approval of a majority of
the Avenel residents. The high rate
of taxation, which they say Is con-
tinually soaring higher has caused
the Avenel people to want a govern
ment of their own.
It is pointed out that the Avenel
section has been entirely neglectcds
as far as improvements are con-
cerned, despite the fact that huge
taxes are collected. The only way
out, the citizens claim, is to form a
borough, believing that the amount
of taxes now paid into the treasury
OF the township would easily cover
the expenditures of an independent
borough governm ent. The tax funds
now expended on other districts.
such as Fords, would be utilized for
improvements in Avenel. Tor a
period of years, Avenel people con-
tend, little or no improvements have
been made. although the annual tax
bill was collected in full from the
people.
The borough government move
lists among the instigators besides
Mr.. Golberger, Mr.. Abrams and Mrs.
FELTON,. also the names of Frank
Barth. Edward Moran, P. j. Donate,
b. B. Clark and James Rigby. AL
most every citizen will be glad to
Join the movement" Mr.. Golberger
remarked.
Attorney Goldberger said that the
present woodbridge township terri
tory is altogether too big. The
movement, he felt. would be advan-
tageous to al. Avenel needs many
improvements which it should nave
received long before now. Another
school is wanted on the east side OF
the railraoi track, better lighting OF
the streets, sidewalks and roads. Mr.:
Goldberger said adding that lack OF
water and gas pipes on the properly
has considerably handicapped the
progress of the section. "Avenel
is a coming borough. there is much
building contracted for the spring
and therefore we need these I'M
provements' the attorney pointed
out.
A local board of trade Is being
formed at once, which in conjunc-
tion with the Avenel Taxpayers AS
sociation will push the borough
movement. Committeeman FELTON,
at the last meeting of the township
opposed the move to include Avenei
into the municipal garbage collec-
tion district of the township, declar-
ing that 1t was not required there
and that 1t would be an additional
burden on Avenel taxpayers.
