morning and wished the President
many happy returns of the day.
It was President Wilson'* birth
day, his sixty-second.

By Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 28.—This Is presi
dents day In the city of London.
The first two chapters of President
Wilson's English visit have been de
voted to meeting and factions with
loyal and political personages of the
government circle. The scene shifts
today to the sombre old precincts of
the Guild Hall and the Mansion House,
I set In the midst of the financial and
I commercial precincts which are the
heart of Britain's strength.
I In the Guild Hall an addregs of wel
come was presented to the president
on behalf of the city In the presence of
a company of more than a thousand
representatives of the government and
of finance and commerce.
Afterwards the president was en
tertained at luncheon by the lord may
or and the corporation of the city—a
function which was attended by 800
guests with the business element pre
. dominating.
j Of all American presidents. Grant
! and Roosevelt, after their respective
, administrations have received honor*
at the Guild Hall while the eloquence
of a long line of American diplomats—
such men as John Hay, Thomas W.
Bayard, Joseph H. Choate, Whitelaw
Reid and the late Ambassadoi* Page,
have been heard In the Mansion
House. A number of European ruler*
I and statesmen have been entertained
I In both places.
Speaking today In the Guild hall at
the ceremonial gnthernlg of Great
Britain’s most distinguished states
men, President Wilson reaffirmed his
principle that thero must no longer b*
j a balance of power which might un
' settle the peace of the wor d, but that
| the future must produce a concert of
power which would preserve It.
The President’s reception at the
Guild hall was so spontaneous and
hearty that It carried an unmtstak
1 able note of friendship and admira
tion. When he arose to spoak there
was a prolonged outburst of handetap
ping and cheering and his talk was
frequently punctuated by applause.
At the conclusion of his address the
audience roso with one accord and
cheered and It kept up the applause
and cheering as he passed out.
The President was given a notable
ovation on rising to begin his speech
and some of his points that won re
newed appluuse were his tributes to
the armies of the associated govern
ments and his declaration that people
throughout the world want peace and
want It Immediately—not, however,
by conquest, but by agreement of
minds.
Countries Harmonious.
I By Axtorifitrd Pi*Ml
I LONDON. Dec. 28:—Yesterday’s
conferences between President Wll
’ son, Premier Lloyd George and other
members of the British cabinet were
extremely successful, according to tho
, Mall, which says that the most cor
dial harmony of Ideals was found to
exist, "with the happiest augury for
the future relations of the United
. Stales und Greut Britain."
1 The premier has rarely been so
’ enthusiastic over the result of any
conference, tho newspaper continues.
It states that the first session of the
peace conference at Paris will begin
late next week or on the Monday fol
' lowing.
President Wilson cordially assured
all the statesmen who met for the
conference of the gratitude of him
self und wife over the reception on
Thursday at Dover, during the jour
ney to London and In this city He
said they had expected a fine recep
tion, the Mall says, not essentially for
themselves but for all America, but
they were not prepared for an ova
tion of such magnitude as was given
them.
When Mr. Wilson reached the pal
ace he was In conspicuously good
spirits without the slightest trace of
fatigue. Those nearest him, who were
trained observers of his moods, were,
according to the Mail, “convinced the
President had a fruitful and satisfac
tory day. They believe It unquestlon.
ably laid the foundation for an Vn
glo-Amerlcan-Entente cordiale and
all vital subjects at Issue.
"The conferences were conducted
In tho heart to heurt atmosphere
1 which the President is trying to find
In the capitals of Europe as best de
l signed to enable him to give a calm
f und cogent exposition of his v'ews
1 on cardinal Issues." the newspaper
members of Mr. Wilson’s party re
marked. “Mr. Wilson encountered a
good deal of the White House envi
ronment In Downing street and so
felt very much at home.”
Speeches Make Impression.
Last night’s state banquet lasted un
til after 10 o’clock, when King George
and Queen Mary with their guests, re
tired to the drawing room, where cof
fee was served and those present en

There were only two speeches at the

Monmouth Sheriff Pours Hot
Shot Into Governor for Stand
on House Speakership
CALLS M’ATEER EFFICIENT
Says Edge’s Own Argument
Shows he Should Have Stayed
as Governor of State
Bv Special Correspondent.
TRENTON. Dec. 28—Hot shot for
Governor Edge for making flsh of ono
Republican and flesh of another in his
public utterances concerning the or
ganization of both branches of the In
coming legislature characterized a
statement issued here today by Sher
iff Elmer H. Geran, of Monmouth
county, former Democratic house
leader, discussing the speakership sit
uation.
Geran questions the sincerity of
Governor Edge In advocating the se
lection of Pierson for house speaker,
Pierson being a Republican assembly
man from Union county, and refusing
to endorse Senator Wells, of Burling
ton, for senate president, despite tho
fact that the qualifications the execu
tive praises In Pierson are possessed
In an equal measure by Wells.
"Colonel Edge Is of the opinion that
qualifications of the candidates should
be the deciding factor,” declared Ge
ran. "If he is serious In that con
tention, he must admit that Mr. Mc
Ateer Is, entitled to the vote of the
Republican members of the hougq, un
less they have some one better qual
ified than Mr. Pierson, and Indeed,
they have none. But I take it that he
I3 not serious In the argument, sare
as it suits his own interest. If he
were, he would not withhold the
power of his office as governor from
Senator Wells as a candidate for the
president of the senate. He must
well know that Senator Wells would
be the ablest presiding officer of any
Republican member of the senate.”
Geran, who has been a member of
the house of assembly with Mr. Pier
son as wre!l as when Assemblyman
James J. McAteer was seertary to
Speaker Kenny In 1911, as he was to
Taylor in 1913, goes into the qualitlca
■— tious of tho two men whom the Re
publicans and Democrats are offering
respectively for the speakership. He
praises the services rendered by Pier
son, but points out that McAteer is
specially fitted for this post, sinco in
the more or less turbulent sessions of
1911 and 1913 the Hudson assembly
man acted a guide and assistant to
the respective presiding officers of the
house in those vej, th
"Mr. McAteer has also been on the
floor of the house as a member from
Hudson county,” said Geran, "and
therefore, with his experience at the
speaker's desk and as a debater on
the floor, he is as well equipped as
any mari in the state of New Jersey,
with the possible exception of John
Matthews, of Hunterdon county, in
the duties of a speaker and the knowl
edge of parliamentary law, rules and
practices.
Respecting the claim of the gov
ernor that the speaker should be a
Republican because he might have to
become acting governor m the event
of the disability of the president 01
the senate, after Mr. Edge goes to
Washington, especially since the peo
ple in 1916 said they wanted a Re
publican governor for three years,
Geran commented as follows:
"If he is so solicitous about carry
ing out the people's wish with refer
ence to the governorship, why,did he
not remain the governor of the state
of New Jersey for three years for
which he was elected, instead of using
the very office to which he was elect
ed as a means of breaking faith with
the people of the st. te and becoming
a candidate for the office of the Unit
ed States senator, in direct opposition
to the spirit of our constitution, 11
not to its very letter. Who knows but
that Colonel Edge’s actions in this
matter were the very reason for his
very large decreased majority in the
state, and the election of sixteen addi
tional Democratic assemblymana.
"He broke faith with the people ol
the state of New Jersey (he admit
ting that he was elected for three
years). The people of the state have
disapproved of It is action in this re
gard, or else in other matters in con
nection with his administration, and
he with little wit now argues that
Mr. Pierson should be elected speaker
in order to correct a condition for
which he alone is responsible. He
makes an argument based upon his
own branch of conduct and is trying
to take advantage of his own wrong."
Whitney Visits Edge.
By Sprclnl Correspondent
TRENTON, Dec. 28—Senator-elect
Arthur Whitney, of Morris county, one
of the ardent Wells supporters con
ferred here with Governor Edge yes
terday, on what is understood to be
the senate presidency situation. Noth
ing was given out as the result of the
visit of Whitney. It has been said,
however, that he might be taken up
as the compromise candidate, for
which all the Mackay senators are
now ready to vote, but the Wells are
not.

CONFESS TO POST
OFFICEJBBERV
La Ford, Brady and Belle, Held
on Other Charges; Admit
Sewaren Station Job
Through the untiring efforts of
Detective Sergeant John Huff and
Detective William Hartmann the
robbery of the Central railroad depot
at Sewaren has been cleaned up,
signed confessions obtained from the
thieves, all of the loot recovered and
the robbers will be turned over to tho
United States government postal au
thorities. -
Tho men who are under arrest and
who have pleaded guilty to the rob
bery are John LaFord of New York
and Jack Brady and Henry Beller,
of Staten Island, who were arrested
by the detectives shortly after the
Sewaren robbery on other charges
and who after being put through the
third degree confessed to tho robbery.
LaFord was arrested first on a
charge of carrying a loaded revolver
and threatening to shoot up the city.
He was locked up and when arraign
ed before Recorders Plckersglll said
that the gun did not belong to him
but to a friend for whom he was
keeping It. He was held In $1,000
ball to await action of the grand jury.
Shortly after LaFord was arrested
Detectives Huff and Hartmann were
Informed that Brady, who was want
ed by tho Staten Island police for
breaking jail on the Island, was In
this city and they located him and
locked him up. He was taken to New
Brunswick on a charge of disorderly
conduct.
Last week the detectives got word
that Henry Beller, whom they were
looking for, was In this city. They
arrested him In a local saloon on
suspicion. He was locked up at police
headquarters where he is still being
held.
From one of the three Detectives
Huff and Hartmann learned that they
had pulled off the Sewaren depot
robbery on the night of Saturday,
December 14, In which they had stol
en a $600 diamond ring, some money
and railroad tickets. The man who
told of the crime said that they had
opened the safe With a key and had
also rifled a mall bag and torn open
a number of registered letters.
Detectives Huff and Hartmann be
gan a search for the missing dia
mond, money and tickets. It was
learned that the diamond had been
given to Brady and a search of the
local pawnshops proved that It had
not been pawned and later on a stool
was planted with him in the county
Jail and from the "stool” It wss learn
ed that Brady had the diamond,
which he had taken out of Its setting,
in a scapular which he wore around
his neck.
Detectives Huff and Hartmann
went to New Brunswick and had
Brady brought into the warden's
office and they searched him and
found the stone where they were told
It had been hidden.
They then learned that somo of
the money had been hidden and the
railroad tickets thrown away at Port
Beading. The detectives went to that
place and found tho money and tic
kets.
At this time the postal authorities
were notified and two Inspectors were
sent here to help the local detectives
but they had cleaned up the case and
were able to turn over to the detec
tives the diamond, money and tickets.
Detective Huff and a postal inspec
tor took the diamond and the setting
In which ^t had originally been and
which was recovered with the other
loot to New York City yesterday
where it wab Identified at Tiffany's as
a setting In which they had set a
diamond for a Mrs. A. H. Cowles of
Sewaren and which had been sent by
registered mail to her.
The diamond and other loot Is now
in possession of the postal Inspectors.
Brady was taken to Newark last
night where he Is locked up and the
other two will be taken to that city
today.

Status of Dutchy Subject of
Controversies-*Future of Ser
bia Also Being Discussed
By A***rtated Vren*.
PARIS, Dec. 28:—In conference
circles the opinion prevails that sev
eral difficult questions which will
come before the allies at some time
during the peace conference may be
left over for arbitration after an
agreement lias been reached as to a
league of nations.
One of these questions may be the
future status of Luxemburg. One
party there desires the reestablish,
ment of the Grand Duchy. Another
favors the proclamation of a repub
lic. A third advocates annexation tc
Prance, while still another prefers
annexation to Belgium. The same
course may be followed conc.erninfi
differences between the Italians and
Jugo-Blavs as a division of territorj
and the eastern shore of the Adriatic
A question which attracts attention
Is the future of Serbia, where therj
is a conflict of several European in
fluences. Cardinal Bourne, arch
bishop of Westminster, went to Herbie
recently and before leaving Rome
had a long Interview with Pope Ben
edict. An Anglican bishop also ha!
visited Serbia, It Is reported.

Gen. Pershing Lays Down Rules
Guiding Actions of Inhabit
ants of Occupied City
By Associated Press.
COBKKNZ, Doc. 27.—Rules for the
guidance of the Inhabitants of regions
occupied by American forces were Is
sued today by General Pershing.
Kxcept for minor and specific regu
lations, the Americans have not In
terfered In local affairs up till today.
Cafes have been opened and theatres
filled night after night. Newspapers,
until recently, have published without
restraint such articles as they de
sired, while crowds promenaded the
streets until midnight and even later.
The Germans had come to believe that
such conditions would continue and,
while there were no serious Incidents
ns a result of the tolerant rule of the
Americans, it was deemed best to
check any tendency toward abuse.
The regulations published today
were signed by General James W. Mc
Andrews, chief of staff, "by command
of General Pershing.” In drafting
them an effort was made to avoid the
Inclusion of any rules which would
merely humiliate the population ot
which savored of retaliation or ro
venge. They are Intended simply tc
maintain good order.
Under the terms of the regulation,
the authorities will know the exacl
whereabouts of every Individual, foi
ench must carry an Identification card
and give notice of changes of habita
tion. Householders must keep posted
on their doors a list of the residents
of their buildings, with their ages, na
tionality gnd occupations. All weapon!
and ammunition must be surrendered
The gathering of crowds Is forbidden
and no meetings except courts,
I schools, councils and religious servlcei
will be allowed without permission.
