aries as the insurgents call them
following the ruling of Lieutenant
Governor Walker. Thaddeus G. Sweet,
Speaker of the Assembly, attended the
meeting. He has q budding revolt on
his own hands. AS a result of this
meeting Senator Walters called con-
ference of the Republican Senators.
The insurgent quartet - Thompson,
Frederick NJ. Davenport, Ross Graves
and j. Samuel Fowler-attended.
If Senator Walters surrenders to
the demands of the four, all will be
harmony. But if he attempts to eau
Gus the conference, the insurgent quar-
tet will walk out, as they announced
before going in that they would not
submit to being hog-tied by any parlia
to the end, with possibility of the
session being prolonged till one side
surrenders.
Although the Republican conference
began at o'clock at midnight it
was still in session in the Senate
finance room. Frequently the voices
men in anger could be heard through
the locked and guarded doors.
One bill, the advancement of which
was hotly contested, was that Of
Assemblyman Wilfred E. Youker Re
publican, of Kings, not to exempt the
positions of any Civil Service employees
in state institutions who had held them
for five years. Senator James A.
Foley, the minority leader, asked what
politician it sought to protect He al
lowed it to be advanced only after
being told that it was introduced at
the request of New York City Civil
Service employees. He said, however,
that he was against the bill, and Will
oppose it on final passage.
The Senate passed the bill Of SEN
ator John A. Lynch, Democrat. of
Staten Island. creating a department
of ferries in New York City, headed by
a commissioner who is resident of

have control over ferries now exercised
by the Commissioner of Plants and
Structures.
The Assembly passed the bill of Sem
ator Lusk, authorizing the establish
ment of industrial aid bureaus by mu-

Service Given Long Sought

Being Worked Out by the
War Department Staff
Personnel Set at 23,776
Programme Contemplates
LOO Machines in Ser
vice; 3,4OO in Reserve

| WASHINGTON, April Army re-
organization plans upon which the War
Department is now working, it was
learned to-day, provide for an air SER
vice with approximately 1,700 airplanes
in actual commission and a minimum
available reserve Of 3,400 additional
planes. This is based upon the pro-
posed military establishment of 500 900
men, in which total the air service per-
sornel will be 1923 officers and 1,S53
men.
The organization tables show the
air forces on peace basis will COM
prise eighty-seven service squadrons,
of which forty-two will be assigned to
coast defence work in the United
States and insular possessions, twenty
will be pursuit squadrons and twenty
five observation and bombing squad
rons. The typical army airplane squad
ron includes eighteen planes in SER
vice and their personnel
The tables also call for maintenance
Of forty-two balloon companies divided
into three wings of fourteen companies
each.
Nine Squadrons to Each Corps
The general plan Of the army reor-
ganization calls for twentyone divi-
sions, including one cavalry unit OF
nine regiments, to be formed into five
army corps, each to be commanded by
lieutenant general. To each corps
will be attached five observation and
bombing squadrons and four pursuit
squadrons; representing a wing forma-
ton for each type of machine.
The effects Of this will be to give
the air service definite recognition
as the fourth service of the line, or
combat forces of the army, the others
being the old trio of artillery, cavalry
and infantry. All other units are sup
Elemental forces, generally known as
auxiliary arms or staff corps troops.
Carrying out the organization of
this new element of the line, the tacti-
of the air service will be in squadrons,
groups and wings and the balloon sec
tion in companies, groups and wings.
Formation Made Elastic
The formation is elastic, however,
squadrons, as circumstances require,
forming group and two or more
groups a wing. The same arrange
ment prevails with infantry division,
two or more of which form a corps.
Machines in sufficient number to
equip all air units planned for are now
being stored at the various aviation
fields that are being retained by the
government. Storage capacity has been
provided for approximately 5000 COM
plete planes, not including those in
service or in immediate reserve with
the squadrons. In addition, airplane
motors by the thousand have been
stored, the upkeep Of any unit in SER
tors plane.

Fight
Brooklyn Bridge
Shuttle Project

Plans of the B. r. T. and the Public
Service Commission in connection with
the so-called Ashland Place link, which,
by the institution of shuttle service,
will cut off Brooklyn Bridge from ele-
waited train traffic, is meeting with
heavy opposition in Brooklyn. Mer-
chants charge that the Fulton Street
shopping centre is threatened with
business extinction by the scheme and
that property values below Cumberland
Street are certain to depreciate as soon
as it is put into action.
The Question Of the adoption of the
plan will come up at the meeting of
the Board of Estimate tomorrow. 1t
has already been considered by the
Transit Committee of the board and
been approved
Under its provisions the Brooklyn
Bridge will be shut off entirely from
elevated traffic and the tracks on lower
Fulton Street, Myrtle Avenue and
Adams Street will be turned into
switching yards. This, it is said by op-
ponents of the plan, will doom these
streets, as lar as business is concerned.
Through elevated service below
Cumberland Street on the Fulton
Street line and below Flatbush Ave-
nue. extension on the Myrtle and Lex
ington Avenues and Adams Street lines
is to be discontinued. Shuttle service
will go into operation between Cum
berand Street and the Fulton Street
ferry and Flatbush Avenue and Brook
lyn Bridge. This, it is predicted. will
cause great confusion and an enor-
nous amount of congestion.
At the junction of the Myrtle Ave
nue. and Flatbush Avenue extension
passengers will also transfer to the
Fourth Avenue subway to Manhattan
Here, it is predicted, the congestion
will be a great menace, and traffic
of scores OF thousands of persons will
be diverted daily from the Borough
Hall district of Brooklyn to Canal
Street and Broadway. Manhattan.

ity Leader j. Henry Walters and those
supporting him, when Lieutenant Gov
ernor Walker ruled that motion to
discharge a committee was in order

Gratis in the Senate will give their
support to the Republican insurgents.
Combined, the Democrats and the in
surgents Will have a majority over
the standpatters, which would reduce
Senator's Walters to the position of
a minority leader.
The insurgent quartet was jubilant.

Without League of

Herbert Hoover is so deeply con.
cerned over the opposition to the
League OF Nations in the United
States that he has let himself be in
terviewed at length on the League sit
uation. In talk with the New York
Times correspondent In Paris, the
Food Administration Chief asserts that
having caused the League idea to pre-
vail America cannot abandon 1t. We
cannot withdraw, he says, and leave
Europe to chaos. ITO abandon the
League Covenant now means that the
treaty itself will collapse"
Mr.. Hoover's wide acquaintance
with conditions both here and abroad,
his reputation as an administrator, a
man Of great affairs who deals with
facts, not theories, make his state
ment one Of the most important con-
tributions to the recent League discus
slOns.
There are one or two points in con-
nection with the present treaty" said
Mr. Hoover, "that need careful consld-
GRAFTON by the American public. We
need to digest the fact that we have
for century and half been adyO-
eating democracy not only as
remedy for the internal Ills Of all So
ciety, but also as the only real safe
guard against war. We have believed
and proclaimed, in season and out,
that world In which there was
free expression and enforcement of
the will Of the majority was the real
basis Of government, was essential for
the Advancement of civilization, and
that we have proved its enormous hui
man benefits in our country.
