he had refused to aceede to Attorney

contained In q ten-page letter
Van RiBer refused to discuss or re-
lease for publication the letter which
he had received from the attorney
general in which he said his resig-
nation had been requested.
In his letter to the attorney gen.

conferences which were held at
Washington with the attorney gem
eral and United States District At
torney Whine and Van Ripper. after
Mrs. Willebrandt had barred Van
Ripper from conducting liquor prose-
cutions.
/. He reduced the complaint against
him from that first preferred of
lack of public confidence" to tech
nical administration errors which he
laid to lack of facilities in the New
ark Office.
There will always stand out in
this case" declared the lerter, "the
undeniable fact that a proud woman.
angered by newspaper publicity COM
mending the district attorney for his
work in the Weehawken case, and
inspired and spurred on by the loose
talk of those who had political axes
to- grind. lost her head, and publish
ed a malicious telegram, which she
could not substantiate, which she
dared not attempt to substantiate
and which she lacked the courage to
repudiate."
The letter asserted that the attor-
ney general had freely admitted
that there has been no question
which reflected upon the honor or
integrity" of Mr.. Van Ripper.
''For my official conduct in Office
have no apologies to make.
In view of the fact that during the
past two years l have handled prac-
tically 1900 liquor cases and that
out OF that vast number my conduct
was criticized by your office in just
one, and that a case where my ac-
ton has recently been approved by

cision. is a matter of great satisfac-
ton to me, continued the letter.

duty honestly and fearlessly and that

cline to resign, realizing that this
leaves TO you no other alternative

LARSON GIVES
PARTY'S VIEWS
Legislation Discussed-More
Rigid Supervision of Build
ing Loans Is Likely

TRENTON, Dec. 31.-More strin-
gent supervision of building and loan
associations, to safeguard the hum
dreds OF millions of invested capital,
will he discussed by the Republican
Joint Conference Committee at a ses-
sion at the State House Friday or

dlesex. Republican leader. said the
majority party legislators were
awaiting the outcome of the investi-
gation into the affairs of the Hack
ensack Industrial Building and Loan
Association before disposing of the
question of a. legislative inquiry. The
$3.50. 900 shortage in the Hackensack
company has focused the attention
Of the Legislators on the fadvisabiffty
of studying the building and loan
situation from the angle OF greater
protection for the investing public.
Republican state senators and the
Republican House Conference Com
mittee met at the state house yester-
day afternoon. Senator Larson. as
spokesman. said the absence of Sem
ators Mackay of Bergen and Case of
Somerset. caused the deferring OF
the session of the conference COM
mittee until Friday. Informally the
Republican senators and assembly
men discussed important subjects
which will press for solution at the
coming session. Larson announced
that the legislature would stand ada
mant against the propaganda ema-
mating from Pennsylvania to free the
PHILADELPHIA Camden Bridge from
tolls. Larson said the bond issues
for the bridge were approved by the
electorate with the understanding
that tolls would be eXacted until the
project was a paying proposition.
The legislators. he added. intend to
stand by that promise.
Larson indicated that a committee
will likely be named to survey pota-
BILE water supplies. The Republican
legislators are not committed def
nitely to any stand on ratification of
the proposed u. S. child labor
amendment. the senate leader ex-
planned Speaker-elect Powell of

Port Authority to Get Evidence
on Location and Con-
struCtion of the Span

Representative of this city and
Tottenville will attend the hearing
of the Port of New York Authority
to be held at its Office at No. IL
Broadway, New York City, at 10:30
o'clock next Tuesday morning, at
which time the authority will re-
ceive evidence and argument relating
to the location of the Perth Amboy-
Tottenville bridge, it's height and
span, its approaches and all other
matters precedent or incident to the
location and construction of the
bridge. including it's site, size, type
and method of construction.
The authority has been authorized
to construct a bridge across the
Staten Island sound between Perth
Amboy and Tottenville, and although
engineers have been making sound
ings and doing other necessary pre-
liminary work, this is the first time
the people of the places affected
have been given an opportun to
voice their opinions concerning the
location and method of construction.
City officials and some of those in
terested in the matter in Tottenville
have been on survey tours with
members of the Authority, and vari-
Gus sites have been inspected, but it
is believed that the actual naming
of the location of the bridge will be
made following this hearing.
In the afternoon OF the same day
at 2 o'clock the Authority will hold
another hearing, at which time the
location of the Howland Hook,
Staten Island and Elizabeth bridge
will be discussed. The hearing in
the afternoon will be similar to that
of the morning and the same mat
ters in relation to the latter bridge
will be heard.

Report to Washington

WASHINGTON. Dec. 31.-Ambas-
sador Herrick's report of his con-
versation with Premier Herriot on
the question OF Franco American
debts reached the state department
early today. and is understood to
contain first official assurance to be
received here since the question en-
tered its present phase that France
does not intend to repudiate her
obligations to this country.
Pending a careful scrutiny of the
report by Secretary Hughes. depart
ment officials declined all comment
but 1t was obvious that they well
coined the communication because
of it's official and timely nature.
1t had been hoped since NJ. Glenn
entel. the French finance minister,
published his celebrated balance
sheet and gave rise to whirl of
discussion. that some representative
of the Paris government. either in
the foreign office there or the en-
bassy here. might see fit to explain
the facts to officials here.
