HOFFMAN TO LEAD FIGHT AGAINST
REPEAL OF CANAL ACT PASSED BY
NJ. LEGISLATURE OF LAST YEAR
Morris County Wants Moneys
Spent to DismantIe the
Old Canal Locks
WOULD USE UP FUNDS
Intra- Coastal Ship Canal from
Morgan to BordentoWn
Would Suffer

Any bills introduced in the legisla-
ture having for their purpose the
repeal of the law passed last year
devoting the Morris Canal abandon
ment funds to the purchase of rights
of way for proposed Intra Coastal
Ship Canal from Chesequake Creek
to the Delaware River will meet
with the opposition of the Middlesex
county legislators. according to As
semblyman Harold G.. Hoffman, OF
South Amboy
There was introduced yesterday in
the assembly bill by Assembly man
David f. Barkman. of Morris county,
which would repeal last years law
giving the moneys RECEIVED from the
abandonment of the Norris Canal To
the State Board of Commercs and
Navigation. This bill will be opposed
by the Middlesex county delegation
as will other bills. reported intro
Guced and bearing upon the same
subject. which have not as yet been
made public. The fight being made
for the canal moneys is being waged
BY those along the route of the canal
who claim the money from the
abandonment of that waterway
should be spent in dismantling the
locks If the money is used for this
purpose. it is estimated practically
ali of the funds VIII be consumed.
Senator Morgan F. Larson has
conferred with Assemblyman Hoff-
man on this matter and the upper
House member will endeavor to use
his influence to have the bills re-
pealing last years ship canal law
defeated when they are voted upon.
Majority Leader in the Senate
William H. Bright has introduced a
bill. Senate No. 120, which would
esta blish a canal fund for moneys
received in connection with the
Morris canal. The Middlesex legis-
lators have not yet talked with
Senator Bright to determine his
reason for introducing this bill, but
it no doubt is favorable to the intra-
coastal ship canal plan and IL so 1t
will be introduced by this county.
Democratic House Leader Fred
w. Deyoe, of New Brunswick, has
& introduced a bill authorizing the
construction of the bridge from
Perth Amboy to Tottenville under
the supervision of the New York
Port Authority. Such q method OF
having the construction work placed
lin the hands of the Port Authority,
rather than by commissioners from
the two states, was advocated by
Governor Silzer.
Two bills which would give the
State Board of Taxes and Assess
ments the veto power over all coun-
ty. municipal and school district ex-
penditures, either in the form of ap-
preparations or bond issues, were
also introduced by Minority Leader
Devoe. The bills would give the
state body authority to investigate
any local budget on petition OF
twenty-five taxpayers and IL it found
the expenditures to be "unwise, un-
necessary or excessive" to set a limit
on the expenditure. In the case of
bond issues, only those over $4,000
in amount would come under the
state boards jurisdiction. These
measures also were advocated by the
governor.

TamDicO Blockade Plan
Abandoned, Rebels Say
Consul Wood Reports Deci-
sion of Mexican Revolution
ary Leaders to Washington
DETAILS ARE AWAITED
Further Information Asked of
Ambassador Stationed at
Vera Cruz

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The De
La Huerta revolutionists in Mexico
are preparing to abandon plans for
the technical blockade of Tampico
and to substitute a policy under
which foreign commercial craft will
be warned that if they enter the zone
of possible bombardment there they
will do SO at their own risk.
First word of the change in plans
reached the state department today
in a consular message from Vera
Cruz, which merely said the blockade
Vas to be raised without definitely
establishing whether the policy
would be permanent. Previously it
had been announced that the block
ade order would remain suspended
until February 1.
Later, however, 1t was learned
through advices that American pro-
tesss against the blockade would be
observed but that a zone of naval
warfare would be declared in effect
off Tampico, and ships would be
notified that If they traversed the
line of fire they would take their own
chances. Rebel warships will re-
main at Tampico and commerce will
be warned that they may at any
moment open fire on the batteries
set up by the Obregon forces at the
mouth of the Panuco River and
along it's banks.
De La Huerta leaders at Vera
Cruz profess to see a precedent for
such a course in the Rio incident"
Of 1894.
Consul Wood reported the an
nouncement 70 the State Department
today but did not say definitely
whether the revolutionists decision
was to permanently raise the block
ade or whether it was of a tempor-
ary nature as had been previously
reported. He was asked for further
Information.
If Consul Woods reply shows con-
clusively that the De La Huerta
leaders have abandoned the Tam
pico blockade permanently, orders
VIII be issued Withdrawing the
American cruiser Richmond now
standing off Tampico to protect Amer
lean commerce.
The situation relating to the
postponed" rebel blockade of Tao-
pico and the projected mining of the
Frontera. Puerta Mexico and Vera
Cruz harbors meanwhile. is under
stood to be quiescent, as far as the
American government is concerned.
The President and his cabinet at
their meeting yesterday. devoted
little time to the question, Secretary
Hughes reporting no important de-
velopments along the coasts or in
the interior.
The new deal in arms, negotiated
by the Mexican embassy, calls for
delivery at Ell Paso to Obregon rep

the latter, bringing the number of
rifles thus far sold to the total
originally requested. The American
government is to receive altogether
nearly 100000 for the 10000 rifles,
100000 rounrs ammunition, eight
airplanes and other items involved
in the two transactions.

Prior to Civil War by Citizens

The Financial Times of London, in
a review of the history of the Citizens
Bank of Louisiana, at New orleans,
recalls the interesting origin of the
word Dixie" as applied to the South.
1t says:
"The Citizens bank was so closely
identified with the South that 1t gave
il the name of Dixie Land since pre-
served in the famous southern war
song, Dixie.
ut came about in this way: Prior
to the Civil war in the States, the
Citizens bank had the power to issue
paper money notes. These bills were
issued in denominations of $40 and
$50. but preferably SO. to the extent
of few millions. These $40 bills

Republican interests in Washington

wealth of many of today's richest
men, William Jennings Bryan charg-

Moneyed interests, he declared, arc

in subservience to such interests the
masses are being forgotten. Among
republican leaders guilty of such bias.
he alleged, are President Coolidge
and Secretary Mellon. The former. he
declared was so sympathetic with
the Weather class that the agricul-
tural provisions of his message to
Congress were nothing less than an
insult to farmers. OF Mr.. Mellon, no
charged that the Treasury Secretary
had framed his economy measures
with the almost exclusive view of
saving the purses of men who. like
himself, were extremely wealthy.
This supposed economy, he charg

service during the war. was the very
