TRUCKS CARRIED OVERLOAD
 AVERAGING 100 PER TT

Nearly 5000 revenue was withheld fryom the state in the registration of forty motor trucks whose drivers have been arrested by the state police within the past several weeks for overlooking. Informa tion to this effect was,made pub lie by Captain Alden L. McMurtry who was present in person at many of the arrests in Greenwich.
 The revised law on commercial motor vehicles adopted by the 1921 session of the legislature, not only contemplated conservation of public highways and the extension of safety precautions, 1t was pointed out, but was also intended to work out for the state a proper revenue for actual business done on it's high ways. The idea was to have the regis trant of commercial motor vehicle pay for what he actually carries. The rates were fixed according to the capacity of the motor trucks registered
 Trucks can legally carry over state highways only the weight for which the ! owners pay on registration. Any amount carried in excess of the registered ca pacity, Captain McMurtry said, involved

HALF MILLION BOOZE
HAUL TO BE RETURNED
Prohibit on Authorities Must Surren'
der Record Seizure Made
in New York.

New York, Nov. H.. Federal pro
hibition authorities must surrender
to its owners the largest seizure of
liquor made in New York since en-
forcement Of the Volstead act began,
The decree issued by Judge Augustus
II. Hand in the Federal District court
last July, ordering the return Of
1000 cases and twenty-five barrels of
the finest bonded whiskeys and 253
barrels of domestic and imported
vines, to Giovanni Acquini Inc, was
affirmed yesterday in the United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals.
When the seizure was made last
March by agents acting under the
orders of Dan Chaplin, chief of en-
forcement at that time, the bootleg
value of the stuff confscated was
placed well above $500,000. The raid
was made on a supposedly abandoned
garage in 900 University place, The
Bronx, being used as an additional
warehouse by the Acquni company
whose downtown address is SS9
Broome street. Several shots were
fired before the agents gained admit
tance to the garage.

NO AMERICAN PLAN
TO cur LAND FORCES
Army Limitations Seem to Concern
France to Exclusion OF
Other Nations

Washington, Nov H. (By the AS
sociated Press)-The United States
does not contemplate offering any
definite program for limitation of land
forces during the conference here and
so far as the American delegations
and their military advisers have been
able to ascertain, none OF the foreign
delegations has prepared proposals
for army reduction.
The question OF army reductions
will be broached in open conference
by Premier BRAND of France. He
already has intimated that France
would urge an army for lerseif sufil'
cient for protection against near
neighbors, and the whole question OF
armies is then expected to be refer
red TO the armament committee OF
the whole. The United States has
no proposals for army limitation, 1t
was said on authority today, as she
has nothing to offer on her own be,
half, the American army already pc
ing as small as is consistent with ma
tional safety and domestic needs.
Great Britain, it was said, was IN
similar position.
Having no suggestions for reduc,
ton of their own forces II was sald
that neither the United States nor
Great Britain were in position to OF
fer any concessions nor were they de
sirous of suggesting on their own ini'
tiative limits for the armies OF other
powers
There was much speculation among
the eonferees whether France would
propose or hint at reported desires
for definite assurances from America
and Great Britain for protection
against German aggression, in consid
GRAFTON for an agreement to make
radical reduction in the size Of tho
French army If so there was high
authority for the statement that she
would be doomed to disappointment
The American position was said to be
against any treaty, compact or agree
ment formal or informal, assuring
France that America would go to her
aid in case OF outside aggression.
While the American representa-
tives we're said to feel Frances spec.
ial position with its full force and
with keenest sympathy 1t was de-
clared that under no circumstances
could America consent to such an
agreement, express or implied
