SALE OF HOBOKEh SHORE
LINE R. R. is CONSIDERED

WASHINGTON. Dec. 15s-The
proposed sale of the Hoboken Shore
Line Railroad was on Pres.dent
Coolidge's schedule for $3.50 p. Al.
today. with Senators Edge and Wads-
worth and Secretary of War Weeks
listed as conferees. The Port Au~
thority of New York an the Dela-
ware and Lackawanna Railroad have
been interested IN the property,
while Hoboken and New Jersey have
filed protests against any sale which
would interfere with the right of ira
posing taxes.
It is understood that Senator
Edge and Wadsworth viii urge Sec
retary Weeks not TO accept a private
bid received for the project pending
action by congress on legislation
which would permit him to accept
tn ebid OF the Port Authority.
The private bidders have not heen
revealed, but they are said to have
offered cash whereas the Port Az
thority is offering bonds which are
not at par and which, il is believed
here, will not be for some time.
Secretary Weeks is understood TO
be sympathetic toward the develop
ment plan, but TO favor a prixafs
bid for purely business reasons.

COOLIDGE ASKS
FOR CONF FIDENCE
OF Country in National De-
Tense Program on and,
Sea and Air

WASHINGTON Dec. I5=Presi-
deDt Coolidge IS giving his personal
attention TO the question Of national
defense, which recently has become
a subject of widespread agitation,i
and he hopes the country VIII have
confidence that its dafenses On land.
sea and in the air VIII be adequately
cared for.
Reports OF negligence and inefTi-
cheney in the maintenance of the
navy and other branches o The ma
tion's defense forces have caused
some concern at the White House,
but the president does not believe
such reports viii be accepted as cor
rect by the American people He is
satisfied that the government IS pro-
ceedinS with its army, navy and air
programs TO the fun extent of con-
gressional appropriations and that
the budget figures on which appro-
riations for next year are to he based
reflects fairly the needs OF the situ-
alton.
So far as the Washington arms
treaty is concerned. Mr. Coolidge be-
lieves the United States is following
out the five power agreement to the
letter, and =he likewise Is convinced
after a study of all the confidential
information available that the treaty
provisions are being followed by all
the other signator.es.
The president is not apprehensive
of the real state of mind through
out the country on the question of
national defense. He has observed
with intense regret. however, that
there is a tendency in some quarters
to measure American efforts at pre-
paredness by what other powers are
doing, rather than by the yard stick
of American national requirements

HIGH TRIBUTES

City, County and State PoIiti-
Cal Leaders Shocked at
Congressman's Death

TRENTON, Dec. 15:--Goyer-
nor Silzer may call u special
election TO fill the vacancy in the
next congress caused by the
death of L. Frank Appleby. Mr..
Aprieby's term would not begin
until March 4.
The special election will be
conducted after the beginning of
the term for which Mr.. Appleby
was elected. The situation Great
cd by Appleby's death is without
precedent in New Jersey. Special
elections heretofore have been
he'd to fill vacancies caused by
death or resignation of con-
grcssmcn in office.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1924-12-15

Political leaders in this city and
county were awe-stricken when IN
formed by the Evening News this
morning of Congressman T. Frank
Appleby's death. John Pfeiffer. Re-
publican county committee chair
man, Senator Morgan f. Larson and
State Committeeman Frederick C.
Schneider were shocked when told
the unexpected news. 1t was gener-
ally believed that Mr.. Appleby was
recovering following his recent oper-
alton in the hospitai at Baltimore,
his condition having improved to
such an extent that his sons, who
were with him when the operation
was performed, had all returned to
their business in Aspury Park.
Commenting upon the death of
Congressman Appleby, Governor Sill
zer today said:
"I cannot tell you how sorry l am
to hear this. l have known Frank
Appleby for good many years. He
was good father, an able business
man and faithful representative of
The people of my district in the con
gress of the United States. We have
lost a good citizen and good friend
and I deeply regret his untimely
death"
1--WE have lost an able represen-
tative whose place it will be difficult
to FILL" Senator Larson said. "I can
express for Congressman Appleby's
many friends in this county their
deep sympathy at his sudden death"
State Committeeman Schneider
expressed his deep regret and de-
clared that he Ronsidered Mr., APP
1a1N 0f hac 1.
ever represented New Jersey in con-
gress. We knew during the last
campaign that he was very i'll and
that it was only his grit and spirit
that enabled him to carry through.
His death comes as severe shock"
County Chairman John Pfeiffer
paid a high tribute to the memory
of Mr.. Appleby when told of the
.congressmans death. 1.-THE people
of not only Middlesex county but
the state and nation as we'll are
losing a wonderful man." he said,
his conscientious work in behalf of
the public at large being such as
could be done only by a man of the
highest type"
The death of Mr.. Appleby causes
a situation which puzzled the poll
tieal leaders as he had not yet start
ed to serve the term for which he
was elected. In order to determine
the course of procedure in this case
former Judgn Adrian Lyon was ques-
toned. Judge Lyon was deeply
touched by the news of Congressman
Appleby's death and spoke highly of
his work. After consulting the laws
Judge Lyon stated that Article /,
Section 2, Paragraph : of the Con-
stitution provides that in case of
vacancy the executive authority
shall issue a writ of election.
In Section 81 of the New Jersey
election law, Judge Lyon said, it
provides that whenever vacancy
occurs in the House of Representa-
tiyes, /. shall be the duty of the gov
ernor to issue a writ of election un-
less the term of the incumbent shall
expire within six months after the
vacancy occurs. This will mean that
Governor Silzer will likely set a date
for an election nj the third con-
gressional district for the purpose Of
electing a successor to Mr.. Appleby.
