N. Y. c. Wins Right to
Build Hudson Bridge
Supreme Court Decides Fed
.eral Government Has Full
Authority in Situation

ALBANY, June 28.-In overruling
a demurrer by the State of New York
against the New York Central Railroad
in connection with the railroads pro
posal to build bridge across the Hud-
son River at Castleton, a few miles
south of here, Supreme Court Justice
Chester held that laws enacted by Con-
gress are paramount to state laws if
the decision is upheld by the higher
courts. The railroad accordingly will
be allowed to erect bridge.
"A temporary injunction restraining
the railroad from building the bridge
was obtained few months ago, op-
ponents to the bridge claiming that it
would be a menace to navigation and
the deeper Hudson project The bridge
War Baker and other Federal officers
Much benefit would be derived from the
bridge, railroad officials contended, be-
cause serious grade would be cut off
for trains running east and west.
The proposed bridge across the Hud-
son River at Castleton would make
possible "cut off" in hauling freight
from the West to the ports of New
York and New England, and would al.
most double the freight carrying ca
pacity of the New York Central and it's
connections near Albany, said state
ment issued by the railroad company
here tonight.
1t would divert heavy traffic from
Albany, where steep grades and draw
bridges have caused most serious rail-
road congestion, the transportation off,
cials declared, and would provide direct
connection over easy grades between
the West Shore, Boston & Albany and
New York Central main lines.

ty-six concerns, alleged virtually to

sented to decree in Federal Court

Repair Dock Found
Adrift i'm Atlantic

The master of a British steamship
in the service of Belgian relief re-
ported on arrival yesterday that his
vessel steamed by a double pontoon
craft, which might have been used as
a floating repair dock for submarines.
He said he observed it first when
about six miles away, and changed his
course to position about half-mile
away. A boat was lowered and the
chief officer and several sailormen went
aboard. They described it as sort
Of drydock that had probably drifted
seaward from some shipyard or was
lost at sea while being towed from
one port to another.
There was no one aboard, and it is
believed that the craft had been adrift
for several weeks. There was nothing
about the construction or markings
that would lead to the belief that it
was of German construction or owner
ship, but the sailormen said they be-
ieved that submarine could be hoist
ed between the pontoons and repairs
made at sea.

Leaders Plan to Put Meas
ure Through Before
Recess
Hardly Any Debate;
No Dissenting Vote
1t Paves the Way for the
Fourth Liberty Loan
Issue

WASHINGTON, Juno 28.-Without
q dissenting vote and with virtually
no debate the House passed to-day
the bill authorizing an additional bond
issue of $4,000 100000.
For the fiscal year ending next Mon
day there are $4,021, ,214, 200 OF bonds
authorized and unissued, and with the
fourth Liberty Loan planned for Oc-
tober fixed at minimum OF $6,000,-
O0O, 900, the bill will provide a margin
of approximately $4,000, 100000. 1t is
planned to pass the bill in the Senate
before the July recess. Authorizations
for bond issues since the war began
then will total $4,000, 100000.
While Representative Kitchin, Of
North Carolina, was explaining the
bill Representative Gillett, of Massa-
chusetts, Republican leader, asked if
it would not be better to wait un-
til after the relection to launch the
next loan campaign. Mr.. Kitchin SAID
that Congress ought to get away by
October 1, 80 every member could go
back home to help sell the bonds.
Mr.. Gillett asked what securities
: foreign governments were giving for
the billions loaned them. Mr.. Kitchin
replied that so far there were notes
signed by the ambassadors upon au-
thority of their governments and that
there would be more formal security
later.
Representative Fordney, of Michi-
gan, ranking Republican on the Ways
and Means Committee, again objected
to the policy of the Administration in
raising what he believed to be too
high percentage Of anticipated expen-
ditures by taxation. Not more than
third Of the total expenditures
should be raised by direct assessment,
he said, and none Of the funds loaned
to the Allies should be raised by tax
alton.
Representative Longworth, of Ohio,
n member of the Ways and Means
Committee, told the House that in the
little more than year since the
United States has been at war more
loans have been authorized than have
teen authorized by Germany in all the
time it has been at war.

Enright Will Drop
Branch Detective
Bureaus on Monday
Force to Work Hereafter
From Station House in
Each District

Police Commissioner Enright an
nounced yesterday that the reorgan-
ization Of the detective bureau, which
was forecast several days ago, would
be effected ,on Monday. Branch bu-
reaus will be abolished and detectives
will work from station houses as head
quarters. with a supervising officer in
the inspectors Office in each inspection
district
There are nine branch bureaus at
present. and their abolition, Commits
sioner Enright figures will save the city
$4,000 in rents and telephone charges,
as we'll as resulting in a more efficient
police force. There are 100 detectives,
who will be assigned to station houses
in groups Of ten or more. The clerks now
employed in the branch bureaus will
no longer be necessary, as the clerical
work will be handled in the offices of
the various inspection districts.
The man shortage resulting from the
draft, which took about 700 men from
the department, will be largely COM
pensated for, Commissioner Enright
believes. by having the detectives in
precincts. where they will supplement
the work Of the uniformed patrolmen.
The detectives unassigned will go out
on patrol in the precinct with sort
Of rowing commission, under instruc-
tions to cooperate with the uniformed
patrol and to call up the police station
at intervals in case special assign
ments for them develop.
"By the present SYSTEM" said Com
missioner Enright, "at least an hour is
lost from the time Of the presentation
Of a complaint by a citizen at the
police station before the detective COM
municated with at the detective bureau
can get in touch with the complain
ant"
The new system contemplates having
detectives pretty close to the scene Of
any trouble that may develop, and also
gives the detective, q chance to be-
come familiar with the section in
which he works as only q ratrolman
on post can learn it. The branch bu-
reau system was held responsible to q
large extent for the delay in the Ruth
Cruger murder case, which eventually
escape.
Whatever tenant next occupies the
residence in 342 West 123d Street,
which will be vacated on Monday by
the Fourth Branch Detective Bureau,
will find improvements in the property
which were lacking when the detectives
took possession. Electric lights have
been installed and within six or seven
months the entire house has been re-
decorated, the woodwork freshly paint
ed and the tenders at the freplaces
Strengthened and polished. Electric
lights were installed in the Third
Branch, 219 East 116th Street.

Y. w. G.. A. to Supply
r ecre cation for
Women Workers

The United States government has
recognized new army within its boun-
daries. Its business is munition max
ing and 1t is feminine. 1t Is called the
women's industrial army. and the ord
nance department at Washington,
through Miss Mary Van Kleeck, Of the
woman's industrial service section, has
asked the Y. w. c. A. to provide rec
reational programme for the twenty
two munition cantonments now being
built throughout the country.
Miss Ernestine Friedman, head of
the industrial department Of the Y. W..
C. A work council, who is directing the
work among these women, made public
yesterday the plans of her department.
There are now several thousand
women In the munition factories. By
August each of the twenty-five canton
ments will be employing from one to
three thousand. The ordnance depart
ment hos provided houses, workshops
and doymitories, but that does not
satisfy the workers.
For example, demand has arisen at
for shampooers to remove the effect Of
the picric acid on the hair. The gov
ernment has already issued a call for
expert shampoocrs to do this work.
In each centre there will be opened
by the Y. W. C. A. q cafeteria-a club
house with comfortable chairs, cots,
flowers and books, and recreation hall
with gymnasium. In each centre the
War Service Club will be organized like
military unit. except that the captain
will be elected. It will include physi-
cal training corps, which will be drilled
by army officers whenever possible; a
service corps for Red Cross work and
others. Each club member will be re-
quired to take this pledge:
"It is my desire to serve to the best
of my capacity in the ranks of the
women's industrial army, second line
Of defence. I pledge my loyalty to my
country, and l pledge to express that
loyalty by promoting in every way pos
sible the spirit of service and goodwill
In my work and community"
Miss Friedmann, who has just re-
turned from tour of the new indus
trial cantonments, says that women Of
every age, condition and station are
going to the munition factories to
work. 1t is the plan Of the Y W. C. A.
to start each community on a self-gov-
erning basis and to impress upon the
women that the society of their com
munity will be what they make it.
There will also be industrial man.
ayers in the factories to keep the work
ers where they are most fitted. The
Y. W. G.. A. is financing a course at
Bryn Mawr, which will begin July / and
last eight months. Here women indus
trial managers will receive thorough
course Of training, involving three
months actual labor as munitions
makers
