DRY HEAD INDICTED
ON LIBEL CHARGES
New Jersey Man Accused of Link
ing Judges Names With
Vice Conditions.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. 81
NEWARK, n. j., November "a
Three indictments charging criminal
libel of three judges stood today
against Rev. DR.. Marina S. Poulson
State superintendent of the New
Jersey Anti Saloon League.
The indictments were returned by
the grand jury of Essex County. In
which Newark is located. after an IN
vestigation of statements by DR.
Poulson in which he said ne mao
linked Judges Walter D. Van Ripper
prank A. Boettner and Nicholas AL
bano with general charges that there
was a vicious combination existing
between organized vice and disor-
ganized law enforcement"
Or. Poulson. who said he spoke as
an individual and not as an official
OF the Anti Saloon League, declared
he inferred no personal corruption In
his charges. He said the Anti Saloon
League would support him in any
charges of vice conditions in the city
however.
The indictments grew out of DR.
Poulson's charges in a recent debate
with Arthur Garfield Hayes of the
American Civil Liberties Union, in
which he asserted three judges in
Essex County "were in on the gam
bling game" Later. in statements
to newspapers, he named the judges
to whom he said he had referred in
the debate. He subsequently said he
had "merely linked them up with
general charges that there was a
vicious combination existing between
organized vice and disorganized law
enforcement"

PRESIDENT WORKS
DESPITE HOLIDAY
Spends More Than 2 Hours
Debating on His Message
Before Going to Church.

Although a devout believer in the
principles of an annual day of Thanks
giving, the President did not take the
holiday enjoyed by thousands of Gov

went to his study on the second floor
of the White House and struggled for
nearly two hours with the preparation
of his message to Congress.
Thanksgiving day. however, did not
alter greatly the customary routine of
the White House. The President
arose at his usual early hour, and by
the time he had gone through some
setting-up exercises in his bedroom
and had personally given himself a
good, clean holiday shave. he was

After going to his study the Presi-
dent sat back in a big. stuffed. easy
chair, looking off at the cheerful in
spring view to the south OF the
White House. as he slowly dictated to
Erwin Geisser, his personal ste
nographer.
The President became so absorbed
in this task that he barely had time
to go to his desk in the executive
office for a brief glance at his mail
before making ready to leave for the
religious services.
An invitation has been received by
the President and Mrs. Coolidge to
attend the formal opening Of a new
Red Cross house at Walter Reed
Hospital, this afternoon at o'clock.
but at noon it had not been decided
whether or not they would attend

NEW MERGER PLAN
GIVES PUBLIC SHARE
Traction Proposal Based on
System Used in PhiIadeI-

The street car merger plan drawn
up by the engineering firm Of Charles
Hansel for the public utilities COM
mittee of the Federation of Citizens
Associations is radically different In
many respects to the scheme proposed
by Harley P. Wilson, according to
first details which leaked out today.
The Hansel plan, which the fedora
ton is expected to sponsor, If it is ac-
ceptable, is was intimated, is pattern
ed after the so-called Mitten method
which governs the operation of the
Philadelphia transit lines. Funda-
mentally the Mitten rlan, 1t was said,
is designed to protect the interests of
all parties directly concerned with the
transportation systematic public. the
street car employees and the stock
holders.
Public Owns Share.
The public through the municipality
and the employees of the car com
panies under this plan it was pointed
out would own a predetermined ratio
of the stock of the Consolidated Co.
This would give them certain protec.
tive rights, it was explained, and re-
suit in a more efficient and economic
operation of the transportation sys-

Like the Wilson plan the Hansel
scheme of consolidation also proposed
the re-routing of car lines and the re-
arrangement of tracks which. 1t is
estimated. would result in saving Of
more than $1,000.000 a year in the
operating expenses. This more econ
nomic operation it was said would
inevitably be reflected in lower street
car fares.
Capitalization Is Lower.
While the Hansel plan suggests a
capitalization for the consolidated
company the amount was not re.
vealed, but it was indicated that the
figure is considerably less than the
$52, ,O00,0 proposed in the Wilson
merger proposition. The capitalization
