A heavy fog this morning paralysed
river traffic, retarded trolley service and
was responsible for a smash-up In
Camden In which eight trolley pas
sengers were hurt.
A dense white hase, through which
headlight penetrated but a few feet,
covered the entire city and the sur
rounding country. Even the rising sun
did net scatter it. Thousands of per
sons sat In stalled trolleys while thou
sands of ethers waited Impatiently en
street corners.
The Camden accident occurred at
Mount Ephralm avenue and Van Heek
street. Twe trolleys halted there before
rounding a curve and n Hadden Heights
car hurled into the rearmost trolley,
catapulting It into the ether.
Tbe injured:
Paul Sherman, thirty years old,

Worst Feg in Years,
Says Chief at FerrUs
"Beth from my own ezperitae
and from what I hear old tUawt
aay, this is one of the worst fega
we hare ever had," said Harry
Caatel, superintendent of ferries of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, today.
At the Maritime Ezchange it was
said that the fog would probably
continue for twenty-four hours,
lifting at times In small areas, only
te settle down again. The last bad
fog here began en Tuesday, Decern
ber 1, 1014, and lasted seventy-two
hours. "
Today's fog is caused by a heavy
frost which settled last night and
early this morning, it was said at
the Weather Bureau. The cold
ground chilled the air, causing con
densation in the same manner clouds
are formed.

Washington. Dec. 4. The recently
organized Progressive bloc showed its
hand this morning, when Senators La
Toilette and Norris objected te the eon een eon
flruintien of Pierce Butler, who wns
nominated te the Supreme Court by
President Harding as the successor of
Justice Day. As the extra session had
only a short time te run, Mr. Butler's
name will luue te be sent In te the
Senate in tbe regular session, which
begins at neon today.
The Progressive Senators objected te
the immediate confirmation of Mr. But
ler en the ground thnt they wished te
knew inure about him and bis record
before uiting en his name.
Prosrcs-he opposition te Mr. Butler
wus inevitable. He is a railroad lawyer
nnd the Pncre-sive-. aim at radical
railroad, legislation. They will nt least
take occasion te make the farmers and
organized labor think thnt the Presi
dent is giving the Supreme Court n pro pre
railroad cast. Tbe ultimate eonfumi eenfumi eonfumi
tlen of Butler is almost certain. The
Administration Bepuhlleans will sup
port him, anil, as be Is n Democrat,
most of the Democratic Senuters will
vote for him.
Signs of Coming Storm Appear
The special session thus druws te n
elesc with signs of the storm thnt will
gather in the regular session and break
m special session of the newiv elected
engrem next spring, If President
Harding cannot avoid calling one. In
the session just ending, the Itepublic
aim hnve been compelled te abundun
the Dyer Anti-Ljnching bill without
obtaining the quid pre quo which Sen Sen
nter ntsen sought en agreement with
the Democrats te expedite the nppro nppre nppro
niiatien bills. The ship subsidy bill,
for the passage of which the President
called Congress together, has get
through the Heuse. b t has net even
been reported in tht enate. It gees
ever into the regula, session te clog
tlm works nnd te face un organized
opposition within tbe Republican party.
The Progressives, who premise te be
raore effective us nn obstructive than
ns a constructive force, nre cemmittci
against the subsidy plan and will
shortly produce shipping legislation of

te accomplish in eighteen menth$t
The selection of a Director
General of national reputation.
A definite decision at te what
form the Centennial ahall take.
The presentation te Citf
Council in a straightforward,
rational way of Sesqui plane,
with a request for an appre'
priatien sufficiently large (
launch the preliminaries of the
enterprise and give them ade
quate publicity.
The preparation of plana of
buildings and grounds thai
could be adapted te pictorial ad
vertisement for presentation
the world.
The selection of a real pun
licity head and the inauguration
of a publicity campaign.
Harmonious co-operation with
City Council, whose member
are as greatly interested in th
geed name and integrity of tht
city as any ether set of mm
within its boundaries.
The prosecution of suitable
methods for raising funds.
An appreciation of the neces
sity for, pushing the work with
out tWmtenTand with the idem J
of success rather than failure
in the mind of every citizen.
The project efTesquI-Centennfal
Exposition hits been hampered and hung
up by a series of inexcusable blunder
and delays. Alse, through the opposi
tion of certain individuals who. becauM
their pet ideas or schemes failed te
fnictify. turned their backs upon the
entire scheme.
The thing te be condemned in this Is
that these individuals supported the
pieject until they found their devices
for persennl aggrandisement thwarted.
Instead of being requested promptly
te resign, or bnving the geed taste
voluntarily te get out. they continued
te cling like barnacles te the hull of
the ship retarding its progress te its
ultimate pert.
Failure te get rid of this clement hat
strengthened a growing opposition te
the centcuniul plans and thwarted the
designs of its friends ujkI supporters.
Incorporated with this was the part
played by eager politicians who de
signed te capitalize the idea te further
their own ambitions or te strengthen
themselves in power.
The acrimonieub contest in Council
ever the question of n site for the big
show is u case in point.
Petty Bickerings Intrude
Councilmen representing sections nf
the city which had sites thnt were pre
sumably elegible, denounced the final
selection of the exhibition grounds, thus
iieatlng among their constituents a bit
terness nguinst the project which bas
net jet subsided.
The effects of this ure seen in sections
of the city where the reaction against
the celebration has reached the point
of open attacks.
It is a petty, provincial, deg-in-tho-manger
spirit that would make a great
municipality subservient te the desires
of n small section of the city.
Auether contributing cause te this
le-s of Intel est has been the delay of
the directors iii forcing the Centennial
idtn te the front nnd keeping it there.
This may laigiiy he attributed te the
lack of an adequate publicity bureau.
Bather te the lack of any publicity
bureau, for fren. all visible indications
there neter has been a publicity bureau
since the Scsiiui-C'eiiteimial Idea was
promulgated.

This, in turn, can be directly traced
te the determination of the former
president of the Sesqul-Centennlal As
sociation, Majer Moere, te ferce bin
own selection of paid officials upon the
beard.
It may he asserted that there ha
been no money available for publicity
or printing or ether similar purposes.
This muy or may net be true, though
