DRY LEAGUE LOSES
Remenstrances Filed Toe Late.
Judge Urges Missionary
Werk by Church
DELAY CHANGE DECISIONS
The conversion of saloon loungers
by, missionaries was recommended by
Judge Stnnke in the License Court to
day when he dismissed a remonstrance
filed by the Rev. A. J. Creek, pastor
of the Twelfth United Presbyterian
Church.
Soen after Judges Stnalte and Mc
Cullcn had dismissed nineteen remon remen
strances filed by the Law Enforcement
League,. Mr. Creek objected te the sa
loon of .Tames P. Dlskan. who Inst Jan
uary ebtnincd a transfer from 2801
Kensington avenue te Somerset and
Ruth streets, opposite his old place.
The changed location moved the saloon
about fifty feet nearer le Mr. Creek's
church and the saloon entrance faces
the church deer. The pastor told the
court the saloon might be a uuisancc en
Sundays.
"Toe Late," Says Judge
Judge Stankc advised the minister
that the remonstrance was tee late. He
snld the saloon would be closed Sun
days anyhow, and thut the property
might hjvu been acquired ' for some
ether business Which would have ic
malncd open Sundays.
"Yes, but there are men hanging
nreund the saloon corner," Mr. Creek
asserted. He said his congregation lias
mere than 400 members.
"In view of the strength of 'your
church," JiidgeStaakc commented, "it
would be a geed plan te send mission
aries ever te the saloon. Maybe the
could induce seme of the loungers te join
the church."
Judge Stanke'H curiosity was aroused
when Herman N. Sachs nsked for n
bottler's license for 805 North Twenty
eighth street. The applicant explained he
was in the trucking business, but that
business was peer and his ten trucks
were ldin most of the time. He added he
thought he would make money by bot
tling, ni be had many friends.
"What are you going te bottle!" the
Judct asked.
"Nrnr-becr," Sachs replied.

saparlllaV" the Judge persisted. Sachs
looked indlffecnt, even bored.
"Yes, I might bottle these, tee." he

advisement.
Drys Didn't Fellow Law
The opinion dismissing the Law En

that no satisfactory objections had
been given, that they were improperly
drawn, that no signatures were attached
and that the pretests had net been filed
within the time required by law.

Thcre have been several strangers

of the party.
Dr. Prince gave orders that no one

SEVEN CHANGES IN CAMDEN;
DISTRICT HEADS RETAINED
Svtclal Dispatch te F.itntna Public Ltdgtr
Atlantic City, March 13. Ninety
odd changes brought another upheaval
of pastors this year in the announce
ment tedny of appointments for the New
Jersey .Methodist Episcopal Conference.
Mere than one-third of the churches
were involved.
The four superintendents were re
turned. The Rev. M. E. Snyder went
back en the Trenten district for his
eighth jcar; the Rev. Alfred Wagg te
the Bridgeton district for his fifth year:
the Rev. Alexnnder Oorsen, te the
Camden district for his fourth year,
and the Rev. J. D. Blllstet. New Bruns
wick district, for his fourth year. Mr.
Snyder enjoys the honor of serving the
longest term en reeeid ns superintendent
in the history of the conference.
Because of the great number of
changes Inst year at Asbury Park, It
was generally expected there would be
a minimum this year and the list con
tained a big portion of surprises. The
1023 meeting will he held nt Asbury
Park. There was n strong sentiment for
Lakewood, but it was found that the
resort lacked church facilities.
Seven Cltanscs in Camden
Contrary te earlier report, the Rev.
J. B. J. Rhodes was returned te Cen
tenary Church. Camden. There arc
seven changes in Camden. C. V. D.

f SEES ALLIANCE
Declares It Means National Sur

"
ODDnCCC TDCATV 111 CCM ATC
UrTUbtb IHbAIT IN btlMAIt
.
By the Associated Press
Washington. Maicli 13. Assailing
the Four-Power Tiealv as a "quad
ruple alliance." Senater Jehnsen told
the Senate today that its ratification
would mean net only a recession! from
American tradition, but n national sur
render under threat of foreign Powers.
If the statements of the treaty's
friends nrc te be accepted, Senater
Jehnsen declared, nnd ubrngitlen of
rtic Angle-Japanese Alliance is te be
regarded as the chief purpose of the
four-Power agreement, then the only
conclusion In that the United States
must enter the "new alliance" te escape
a threat of danger because of the old.
"The argument for this present sur
render of our ancient policy of inde
pendent nntlennl action," snid tSennter
Jehnsen, "Is nothing in the end but
that one word, 'danger.' The Anglo Angle
Japanese Alliance, thi4gentlemcn en the
ether side say, exposes us te danger.
Therefore, we have no choice. We must
accept this treaty.
Will Vete Against Treaty
"I shall vote against this treaty be
cause if any foreign alliance can ever
speak te this country with the word,
'must,' then the spirit which made this
country safe when It was feeble will
have departed from it nnd our record
In history will be that in striving te
barter our heritage for safety we lest
snfety itself."
Mr. Jehnsen quoted many uttetance
of Japanese and British statesmen, giv
ing assurance that I he Aiiele-.Tniiniie-e
Alliance nevcr'Tvrnrdlfrcferi against the
United States, und asserted if these
solemn declarations were net te be be
lieved, then this Geverdnmcnt was fol
lowing a foolish policy by establishing
n paitnership with Powers which hnd
deliberately deceived the American peo
ple. The piesent conflict in the Senate,
asserted Senater Jehnsen, is net unlike
that which was ptcclpitated by the
League of Nations.
"Fer the second time," he said, "the
Sennte is nsked te change the foreign
policy which has prevailed in the repub
lic since p became a nation.
"The old familiar nrguments ling
out again that we may be forced today
te accept what ycterdny we rejected.
Net a Hermit Natien
"Frem the beginning of the contest
concerning the League of Nations, some
of us have endeavored te 'make plain
that our position was net one of nloof nleof nloef
ness) or isolation for the United States.
We neither expect nor wl-.li te live a
hermit nation. I believe in tynsultn tynsultn
