ASK PONTOON BRIDGE
ACROSS THE HUDSON
Congressional Action Is Re-
quested for Big Span From
YOnkers to Alpine.
10 YEAR RIGHT SOUGHT
Plan Would Relieve Traffic
Pending Tunnel and Per-
manent Bridge Building.

Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. e.. July "a.
Congressional authorization for con-
struction of a pontoon bridge across
the Hudson from Yonkers to Alpine
or thereabouts, is proposed in a bill
introduced by Senator Frelinghuysen
IN. J.) to-day.
The project would utilize for pom
toons the wooden ships which have
been like a white elephant to the
Shipping Board since the armistice. IT
is sponsored by the United States
Chamber OF Commerce and prominent
New York and New Jersey business
men and requires no appropriation. 1t
would be a toll bridge. built and oper-
ated by private capital
Plans for the structure must be ap-
Is to have a draw to admit passage of
large ships The charter would provide
sufficient space between pontoons and
bridge of at least thirty feet high to in
tefere as little as possible with naviga-
ton.
George A. Post, head of the railroad
committee of the United States Chamber
of Commerce, and president of the Hud-
son Bridge and Terminal Association,
conferred with President Harding on the
project to-day and found him favorable.
The incorporators named in the Fre-
linghuysen bill are Otis II. Cutler. D. z.
Pomeroy. George A. Post. Manuel Ri
onda, Charles A. Fuller, julius F. Mann.
John Forster, Thomas J. Watson, George
T. Smith, r. A. c. Smith. Henry D.
Welbridge. John II. Love. Ludwig MIS-
sen. Garret A. Hobart George w. Nor
gan. Thomas A. Gillespie and H. Dupratt
White.
In a statement explaining the pro-
posal Senator Frelinghuysen said:
THE charter asked to be granted by
Congress Is limited as to its life to ten
years. from the date Of its completion,
unless the Secretary of War shall decide
that 1t is to the public interest to grant
an extension Of its life for five years
longer.
1.-The bill Is drawn with the intent that
every possible interest shall be safe
guarded. The proposal to build a pom
toon bridge across the Hudson had its
inception in the fact that there are
available for purchase from the Federal
Government at this time wooden ships
that may be utilized for the support of
the proposed bridge as pontoons (about
fifty of them should be required). so
rlaced that there will be sufficient clear
ance for all towboats. a majority of the
freight shipping and all pleasure craft
while a draw span will permit free
passage of all other vessels.

ENRlCHT IN ACCORD
WITH STATE DRY CHIEF
Will Cooperate in Enforce
1enf of Prohibition.

Harold L. Hart. Federal Prohibition
Director for the State Of New York. and
Police Commissioner Enright have come
to an amicable understanding as to %
operation in the enforcement of prohibit
tion In New York city.
Politicians who heard of the matter
last night were specializing as to whether
or not IL meant that prohibition would
be eliminated as a partisan issue In the
coming campaign. Up to the present
time the Democrats have been inclined
to make political capital over the fact
that Republican Legislature passed the
Mullan-Gage enforcement act. But the
Republicans claimed that the Hylan ad-
ministration had gone to illegal and un-
constitutional lengths in an attempt to
make the State law odious and burden
some.
II was learned that there would be no
change in the enforcement policy of
either the Federal or city authorities
from that adopted since the recent ruiz
ing OF the Corporation Counsel showing
that the police had exceeded their au-
thority In searching persons and prem
tses without warrant.

CHALDEAN PRIESTS

Bogus Clerical Arrested in

for the Turk harassed Christians and
returns to Chaldea with his belt filed
with American gold to spend the re-
mainder OF his life in ease and luxury.
That swindle is an old story at Ellis
Island. The immigration authorities
have exposed and deported hundreds Of
these men and they expressed the great
est interest yesterday in the despatch
printed in THE New YoaK HERALD con-
cerning the arrest in Paris of two Chal-
deans, one of whom was reported to
have claimed Immunity as an Ellis
Island stool"
That man, John Malick, made pill
grimage to the United States two years
ago, and Is said to have operated sue

He is we'll known to the Presbyteriar
BOARD of Foreign Missions and yester-
day the board received cable from the
Paris police informing them that Malick
claimed Robert Speer, president OF the
board. as his sponsor. Mr.. Speer is out
of town and the board will not act until
his return Monday. In his absence one
of the other officers said he knew
"Pasha." but had not heard from him
recently
when he was in this country there
was a question as to his standing. that
official said. 1--WE Investigated him and
while we could not give him clean
bill Of health we learned that he was
helping the Department of immigration
to expose other Chaldeans. and nothing
was done We understand that with
the aid of 'Pasha' and other informers
the country has been rid OF THESE

According to Sleewm Breka, the

and "Pasha" collected 100000 in New
York. Chicago. Cleveland and elsewhere
which they spent in riotous living at
Paris and Deauville.
Ellis Island officials did not deny that
they had employed "Pasha" as stool
One of them said
For the good of the service we have
to use such expedients to keep these
crooks out. Six years ago We rounded
up about thirty of them and shipped
them home by way of Siberia. Since
then we have gradually thinned them
out.
ut has been going on for years.
Young Chaldeans get a little education

Among the letters seized when
"Pasha" was arrested was one frcm

R0CKAWAY STATION
FOR AIR TESTS ONLY
All Activities Are to Cease
About September 1, Navy
Order Directs.

Orders placing the Rockaway Naval
Air Station on a "non-operative status
as soon as practicable after September
1" were received at the station yes
terday from the Secretary of the Navy.
Pending final decision by the Navy
Department Capt. Damon e. Cummings.
station commander, was ordered to stop
all operations except for tests. to order
no material after the date mentioned
and to make preparations for disposing
of the material on hand.
The station was opened In 1917 and
hundreds OF pilots were trained there
during the war. At one time 500 Off
GERS and men and eighty planes were
located there At present the personnel
consists of thirty officers and $50 men.
In recent months several experiments
have been under way at the station.
These included tests of new towing
airship, the HI. This craft was so
constructed that 1t could fly to sea un-
der its own power. pick up a cable from
battleship or other marine craft, and
be towed through the air as an observa-
ton balloon.
Ine D-o, tne laFBest navy uTissoic Ill
America, Is also stationed here. together
with ten seaplanes in active service. and
a number of other seaplanes. kite balloons
and airships In storage. Tests have also
been conducted here recently on twin
motor torpedo plane and n bomb sight.
The station Is located on city property,
although negotiations were started last
year to have the city deed the property
to the Federal Government. The argu-
ment was then made by naval authorities
that Rockaway provided the city with
aerial defence from attacks by water.
The Board of Estimate. to which the
matter was referred, postponed definite
action until next November.

in bridge building estimate that the
pontoon bridge could be ready for traffic
by June 1. 1922. II that is true. then
what benefit it would be to those who
now suffer so terribly because of the
woeful conditions now prevailing.
THE vehicular tunnel To be built by
the States of New York ana New Jersey
probably will consume five years In con-
struction. It will be eight or ten years
at best before the projected highway and
railroad bridge in the vicinity of Fifty
seventh street in New York across to
Weehawken can be completed. Mean
time the traffic conditions grow worse
day by day and the proposed pontoon
bridge is the only relief in the immediate
future that Is possible"
