The new ordinance, supplanting a "contract executed originally by v.Uayor' Sharman's administration last 'Din ember and replacing a substitute ordinance tabled early in March, provides that illumination be of 100 candlepower instead of 250, at a cost of $32 a year for each light instead of Negotiated early in October of last year, the legislation was lirst passed in December and the contract certified by Councilman Hunter two days before ho retired from office.

When the company asked that the, contract be authorized by ordinance instead of resolution, introduced a substitute measure. Then Councilman Maurer discovered there was a difference of $3 in the price compared with that for installing lights on lie Lindbergh viaduct. Maurer requested tabling of the ordinance and Snyder withheld introduction of the Lindbergh DAD DIM ru ti viaduct light measure. Inspection Made On March 14 Mayor Stump and members of council made, an inspec Hon of the area and it was decided that lights were needed but of a lesser candlepower. It was finally agreed to have them conform with the parkway lights put in by the borough of West Reading.

Snyder today will also introduce a new ordinance for lights for the Lindbergh viaduct. Nineteen lights of 230 candlepower will be installed on the viaduct at a price of $42 instead of $35 and IS on the approaches at a cost of $G3. The. original ordl ranee provided for 600 candlepower the" approaches at a cost yf of $S5. The city's rate for similar lights is $65.

Tiie difference in the prices now is caused by the difference in construction. The city has provided standards and conduits on the viaduct, while on the approaches the Metropolitan Edison company must provide the equipment. In the Eighteenth ward area, Irvin F. Impink, of the Wyomlssing Development company dug 18,000 feet of trenches to aid the city get a cheaper rate.

The new realty development is located on the extension of Centre avenue beyond the northern city boundry. Permission to tap water mains was granted by council last week. Councilman Smith is preparing an ordinance amending his garbage contract ordinance to require housekeepers to provide regulation garbage cans with loose lids. The purpose of the legislation is to facilitate enforcement of the penalties against the contractor for failure to empty cans and replace lids. Covers for Cans Present regulations provide for "covered cans of capacity no greater than two bushels, to bo water tight and so kept; to have suitable handles and tight fitting covers not to bo removed except when necessary." i Replacing lids of the tight type, 1 which are easily knocked out of 'shape, will bo difficult, according to Smith, who says he cannot blame householders for past conduct in using lard cans as garbage receptacles.

Smith provided fines of 10 cents each for not replacing lids and $1 for not emptying cans In the new contract awarded last week to William B. Shcidy, of Wyomlssine. The contract is effective April 15. Damaged cans must be replaced and overloading of trucks or use of dripping or leaky conveyances is punishable by a $10 fine. Uncovered trucks will bo fined a' dollar.

Smltji will handlo complaints in his department and Inspectors will see that the contract Is enforced, lie says, i VOTE BY POSTCARD ON BUYING WATER West Reading water consumers will bo asked to vote on buying water from Reading.

PROTEST TO HARDING ON SINCLAIR LEASE AT New York Banker Tells of Failure to Be Allowed To Place Bid HOOVER CLAIMED IN CLEAR Lenroot Declares He and Smoot Asked Fall to Tell All in Investigation WASHINGTON, April 3. () Some interesting disclosures of events following the lease of Teapot Pome were made today before the senate oil committee, which reopened Its hearings for an hour and a half, but no new light was shed on tho missing Continental Trading company bonds. Former Senator Irvine L. Le.nroot, of Wisconsin, revealed that Will H.

Hays, one time postmaster general, had visited him hero late In 1923 to discuss the status of Albert B. Fall about tho time Lenroot, then chair man of the oil committee, and Sena tor Smoot, of Utah, a member, had called on the former interior secre tary to urge him to tell all In the oil investigation. Birch Helms, a New York banker, but a Texas oil operator when Tea pot Dome was leased to Harry F. Sinclair on April 7, 1922, disclosed that ho had protested to President Harding and three of his cabinet Of ficers the late John W. Weeks, Harry M.

Dougherty and Herbert Hoover against the lease, but without avail. Sought Chance to Bid Helms said he had protested be cause of his company The Texas Pacific Coal and Oil company had sought an opportunity to bid for the Wyoming naval oil reserve several months before the lease was granted. but had been given to understand by Fall as well as by Edwin Denby, then secretary of tho navy, and Theodore Roosevelt, then assistant secre tary of the navy, that there was no intention of making a lease. The protests to Harding and some of his official family were telegraphed from Texas after Helms had read In the newspapers that a lease was made A letter sent to President "Harding sked for an interview on April 25 or 2C, but the president's secretary replied than an engagement could not be made for either day because on tho first there was a cabinet meeting and on the second the chief exec utive was to leave for Ohio. Weeks replied that no doubt the president would sec Helms, adding for himself: "For good reasons I can not be come involved in the controversy." Hoover Wrote Fall Daugherty made no reply.

Helms said, but telegrams and letters placed in the record showed that Hoover did write Fall about the matter and received a reply from K. C. Finney, then acting secretary of the interior, saying that the matter had been closed. Helms' telegram to Hoover was acknowledged by Christian 11, Iler er, an assistant to the commerce secretary, who said he had noticed that the Helms' message had stated that "the arrangement in regard to (Turn to Page Two) Irish Up, Says Frank He Thinks of Benny Nor the hospitals.

Freed, Republican, who has been mentioned for the judge ship said yesterday "I am serious about getting the appointment," but declined to say what he would do about it. District Attorney Oliver M.

Wolff, Democrat, is the third aspirant for the honor. No real efforts to have him appointed are expected, however. as the feeling among Democrats is that Governor Fisher will appoint a Republican this time. He appointed Robert Mays, Democrat, last year The only reason Wolff is being mentioned now, his friends say, Is that Wolff will be a candidate for the full judgeship term of 10 years in 1929. By keeping his name before tho public at this time, Wolff's friends feel they are getting the jump on any other candidates.

Whoever is appointed to succeed John B. Stevens, the Democratic judge who resigned will serve only until January, 1930, unless he Is elected for the full term next year.

MacFarland, a member of Par sippanong Chapter of Hanover and state president of the American As soclatlon of Women. The national officers, she charged, had Indorsed the wide circulation among members of documents tie famatory to persons and agencies of outstanding character and of one document which "had completely whitewashed tho men involved In the oil scandal now being Investigated by the government of the United States."

BLACKLISTING FESS IS SELECTED TO AT G.O.P. Ohio Senator Has Been Strong Advocate of Coolidge Policy and Was Pledged to Willis INDORSED BY BUTLER White House Not Consulted About Appointment, National Chairman Says KANSAS CITY, April 3 Senator Simeon D. Fess, of Ohio, one of the stalwarts of the Coolidge ad ministration today was chosen to sound the party keynote as tempor. ary chairman at the Republican na tional convention here In Announcement of the selection of Fcss by unanimous vote of the sub committee on arrangements of the Republican national committeo was made late today by William But Ier, of Massachusetts, national chair man.

Butler would not discuss what went on behind the closed doors at the subcommittee's session, but it was understood the Ohio senator's name was presented by the national chairman, who was requested by tho committee members to name his choice. Denies Political Significance Prior to the vote Butler declared that no political significance could bo attached to the selection, adding that tho committeemen were in terested only in choosing the best man available for the role of key stone speaker, i Half a dozen candidates were considered but the final choice narrowed down between Senator Fess, Senator Moses, of New Hampshire and Senator Gillette, of Massachusetts. Opposition by Senator Moses to several administration measures was understood to have been a point raised against him. Senator Fess had been one of the leaders of the Coolidge administra tion, acting as assistant Republican whip in the senate. He is known as a forceful speaker and has been a strong supporter of the president.

Chairman Butler denied that the White House had been consulted saying' thaf the "selection of a tem porary convention chairman was "not a question to oother Washing ton with." May Support Curtis As a delegate at large from Ohio, Senator Fess wa3 pledged to tho presidential candidacy of tho tate Senator Frank B. Willis, of Ohio, and in filing for tho post he named Sena tor Charles Curtis, of Kansas, as his second choice. While he has made no announcement, reports have been circulated that Senator Fess felt that since the death of Senator Willis he would be bound to throw his support to Senator Curtis. The subcommittee adjourned after disposing of the temporary chairmanship and probably will not meet again until just before the convention opens June 12. Chairman Butler said there had been no discussion of a permanent chairman.

He will return to Kansas City the last week In May. ARSON SUSPECT HELD IN HOSPICE FIRE QUEBEC, April 3.

MUST LIMIT TAX $290,000,000, Proposed by House, Must Be Trimmed to $182,000,000, Tells Senate WASHINGTON, April 3 CP) Faced with a warning from Secretary Mellon that tax reduction must be limited probably to and not more than $201,000,000, tho senate finance committee started work today with some apprehension on the $290,000,000 measure passed by the house.

The $182,000,000 limit must be adhered to, Mellon said, if flood control legislation is enacted, it has already passed the senate by unanimous vote and soon will be acted on by the house. Before going1 to the senate, he laid the treasury position before President Coolidge, who agreed that $190,000,000 was the outside limit of reduction which the administration would sanction. Income Collections Lower Income tax collections and oher government receipts will hold up next year, on the basis of present indications, the secretary informed the committee, but increased expenditures necessitate a paring down of the original limitation of $223,000,000 set by the treasury last fall. Chairman Smoot, of the committee, leader of the Republicans who have a slim majority in the tax fight, ac cepted the figures, and went a step farther than Mellon to point out that his program did not take Into account prospective appropriations Involved in farm relief and Boulder Canyon dam legislation. Mellon said that without flood con trol legislation, which probably will require a $30,000,000 appropriation for next year, a total slash of $201,000,000 was possible but there seems no doubt that congress will go through with the flood measure which was speeded through the senate in less than two hours last week.

Simmons Unconvinced Unconvinced by the tale of Secre tary Mellon, however, Senator Sim mons, of North Carolina, leader of the Democratic minority in revenue warfare, sharply questioned Under Secretary Ogden Mills who presented the treasury outlook to the commit tee with Mellon. Senator Simmons recalled to Mills that when the last bill was under consideration congress went far beyond treasury limitations and was warned of a deficit, but that the next year a surplus of $100,000,000 was found In tlie treasury. Mills re plied that this surplus was attribut able to the unusual prosperity of that period. To meet the terms of the new limitation, Mellon proposed to the committee that It restoro to the bill th 3 per cent automobile tax hich was repealed by the house, invol ving revenue, and also restrict tho proposed cut in 134 per cent corporation tax to 12 per cent rather than 11 per cent a3 voted by the house. In fact, he said under the $152,000, 000 limitation the senate must con fine itself to the slash in the corporation levy, a revision of the rates applicable to the intermediate eur taxes; repeal of the estate tax, re peal of the cereal beverage levy and reduction of the wine tax.

Twenty one barrels of beer In the truck were seized, along with two barrels bn the pavement. Then the officers entered the club, where they say they found the two barrels which had been unloaded and one barrel "on tap." Behind a bar, they say, they seized two quart bottles of whiskey, one pint bottle of whiskey and a quarter bottle of gin. They called the state police bar. racks at Reading and asked for a detail to conduct a raid on gambling machines. Troopers Stickle and Wagner were sent.

They carried from the club rooms 10 money machines of varying denominations and three punch boards.

MILWAUKEE, April 3 (P Scattering returns from the primary election showed a close contest between the two factions in tho Republican party for control of the state's delegation to the national convention at Kansas City.
