PROTEST MADE
Aldermen Clark and Mcclure
Protest Against Certain
Bills Before Board
CLARK WARNS MEMBERS
Says They Are Liable to In
dictment for Malfeasance
in Office
CLARK WARNS MEMBERS

The aldermanic wheels failed to
run along very smoothly at last
nights meeting as both Alderman
John j. Clark and Robert A. Nc
Guire managed to throw the ma
chinery out of gear on several oc-
casions. The opposition of the min
ority, however, proved to have little
effect as there were sufficient votes
among the majority in most cases
to carry through the various meas
ures.
Opposition to bills coming from
the city engineers office, the city at
torney and the Perth Amboy Record
again was made by the fifth ward
alderman, who also opposed a bill
for $125 rendered by former City
Collector Joseph E. Hornsby for two
weeks services rendered in instruct
ing the new collector, James Mullen,
in the duties of that Office.
Alderman Clark opposed two bills

Lenine, Soviet Premier
OF Russia, Is Dead
Died at Moscow Yesterday,
But Death Was not An
nounced Until Later

MOSCOW, Jan. % (By The Asso-
ciated Press) .-Nicolai Lenine. Pre-
mier of Soviet Russia, Is dead.
The end came at $3.50 O'Clock
Monday afternoon, but the death
was not announced for some time
afterward.
Death of Premier Lenine leaves
domestic political affairs and for
eign relations of Russia in a tangled
state. Following as it does the vir-
tual Disappearance of Leon Tpotzky
from the affairs of the Communist
party and Secretary Hughes recent
rejection of Foreign Minister Tchit-
cherin's proposals for resumption of
trade relations with the United
States it appears probable that re-
moval of his influence will further
increase the chaotic state of affairs.
Despite the fact that the premier
had taken little actual part, because
of his illness, in the actual business
of government his advice was sought
in the party and governmental
councils and his followers exercised
a powerful influence.
The crisis in the affairs of the
Communist party has been growing
steadily within the last few weeks
and the meeting of the Soviet dele
gates at Moscow early this month
developed a number of acrid squab-
bles with regard to conduct of party
affairs. Trotzky was censured by a
majority vote of the conference a
resolution declaring that he had
made political mistake in appear
ing to press against the unanimous
decision of the central committee on
party policy. Shortly thereafter it
was announced he had left for the
south of Russia to seek rest and
relaxation.
Representative of foreign diplo-
matte missions and others with
whom the correspondent talked after
the announcement agreed in express
sing the opinion that Lenine's death
would probably produce no general
disquiet in Russia. but nevertheless
would have an important political
effect. So long as he was alive, al
though not actively participating in
he government, he was at least Its
titular head and his death now
opens the position to other leaders.
With Trotzky eliminated, the So
Wet leadership, now that Lenine is
dead, seems possible of falling into
any one of a half dozen or more
hands Some indications of the rela-
tive strength of the different leaders
with the all-Russian Soviets may be
found in the number of votes re-
oeived by the candidates for the
presiding committee of the Soviets
In an election held the day before
Yesterday. Moscow dispatch on that
dale said Premier Lenine. Leo Kam
eneff, the. acting premier, M. Zfno-
vieff. chairman of the executive
committee of the Communist inter-
national, NJ. Stain. a prominent
member of the Soviet councils and
considered one of the strongest of
the present leaders. NJ. Bucharin,
editor of Pravda and head of the
left wing of the Soviet central COM
mittee. and M. Kalenin, who had
chareg of the famine relief work, all
received more votes than Trotzky,
who ranked seventh in a list Of
forty-seven.

TRENTON, Jan. 22:-The senate
in executive session last night unan-
imously confirmed three out of the
five first appointments sent in by
Governor Silzer during this session
of the legislature. One of the three
men confirmed is DR.. Andrew F. Nc
Bride, of Paterson, to be commits
sioner of the Department of Labor
for the unexpired term of the late
General Lewis T. Bryant, of Atlantic
City, who died last summer. General
Bryant was re-appointed to the office
last year and consequently DR.. NC
Bride has four years to serve at
ls7,500 a. year Commissioner Nc
Bride was first appointed by Cover
nor Silzer after Bryants death to
serve until the senate met this winter
to confirm him.
Circuit Court Justice Luther A.
Campbell, of Hackensack, was con-
firmed in the Office of supreme court
Justice in the place of the late JUS
tice James ]. Bergen. of ,Somerville,
whose term would have run out in
1928. Justice Bergen died recently.
Campbelrs salary will be $4,000
year.
The third man to be confirmed by
the senate is William Clark, of Ber-
nardsville, to be a lay Judge of the
court of errors and appeals to sue
ceed the late Judge Robert Williams,
of Paterson, who died last year. The
lay Judges receive $40 a day when
engaged in business of the tribunal
Judge Williams term should have
run out in 1927 and Clark will serve
until that time.
Edward L. Katzenbach, of this
city, who was named as the Demo-
cratic successor to Attorney General
Thomas f. McCran, Republican, by
ths executive, did not eceive the
firmation of the senate for the job,
neither did Newton H. Porter, OF
Montclair, receive the confirmation
of the upper House in tn position
of common pleas judge of Essex to
succeed Fred G. Stickel. Jr., whose
term is about to expire.
The failure of the senate judiciary
committee to report The name of
Katzenbach was the reason for the
failure to confirm him to the $1,000
year job for five years. The judi
ciary committee likewise withheld
the name of Porter.

Ice-COVered VeSSeE
Safe AT This Port
Norwegian Steamer Fran
Completes Most Stormy
Voyage in Its History

When the Norwegian steamer
Fran arrived at the plant of the
Barber Asphalt Company plant to-
day, she completed one of the most
stormy voyages in her history. The
vessel left Venzuela, South America,
on January II, and soon encoun-
tered heavy weather. Captain N.
G. Uuf declares today that it was
the most trying voyage he has had
in recent years or on the last six
ships over which he has had COM
mand. The vessel is covered with
ice from the water line to the top
mot mast, the ice being about six
inches thick. Huge waves at times
completely covered the vessel and it
was only possible to make two knots
an hour.
Captain Ulf declared today that
the warmest place on the vessel was
the icebox and at one time two live
pigs which are carried on board were
placed in the icebox to keep them
from freezing. Captain Ulf recently
married and his pretty wife kept hot
Cocoa always ready for her husband
and the crew. At times, Captain Ulf
declared, it seemed as If the ship
would have to turn back as the indi~
cations were that she could not stand
the high seas and winds which
threatened her from all angles.
Although other ships were forced
to stop their voyages and put into
safe harbors, Captain Ulf said that
he kept on his course, although he
admitted that he lost his bearings
several times. but regained them
through the aid of the why radio
station. Captain Ulf gave this sta
tion great credit for the part it
played in making his voyage to this
port successful.
1t was not until the ship reached
Cape Hatteras, that it encountered
any rough weather. AS it neared
this well known graveyard of
the seas. Captain Ulf said it ran into
one of the worst storms he has ever
weathered. He gave great credit to
his crew and the work of his wife
in aiding him in making the port in
safety. At times the wind and water
were so bad that windows were
broken and the cabins flooded. The
vessel carries a cargo of crude as
phalt.

Dome naval oil reserve put off to-
days session of it's hearing until

"amazing testimony" developed by
the committee and certain observa-
tions OF his own. He also said that

latter had told him he was in pos
session of cancelled checks for
$4,000 drawn by Sinclair to the

Assembly Minority Leader Fred

in the assembly authorizing the New

gin work on the construction OF

sound between this city and Totten-
Vile. Under the provisions of the
bill, the Port Authority are granted
all the power necessary to begin the
work of construction as soon sthe
bill is passed in this legislature and
that of New York state. AS the re-
suit of a conference which was held
yesterday, it is believed that the bill
will be passed in this legislature and
a similar bill passed in the New

party affiliations.
In discussing the measure today,
Mr.. DeVoe declared that the Port
Authority already has the authority
vested in it to carry on construction
work If necessary and is permitted to
Issue bonds in anticipation of rev.
