- tenti0D TO Dy-prOuuct VI
the worldwide discussion of the dis
armament and armament truce pro-
posals-what the United States needs
in the way of industrial improvements
to increase its efficiency.
Engineers, efficiency experts, trans
portation managers and far-seeing
business men have had much to say In
a general way about the need for
greater production and better distri-
button. The possibility of disarma-
rlent or of an armament truce mas
stimulated them to estimating what
the United States would save ana
suggesting what it should. do with
the money thus saved.
Here is an example of the many
suggestions for increased Industrial
efficiency. The United States geolog-
ical survey has been making an inyes-
tigation of the potential water power
of the East. On the basis of its find
ings, Secretary of the Interior Payne,
Just before going out of office, SUBJ
mitted to President Wilson a. report
covering the area from Boston to
Washington. He urged unified devel-
opment of electricity, supplied from
both water power and steam-driven
machinery, to effect an annual saving
of about 25,OOO,OO0 tons of coal, run
$4,000 miles of railroad. light cities,
run street cars, factories and mines,
through the concerted development OF
water power from the st. Lawrence,
Raquette, Delaware. Susquehanna, Po-
tomac rivers and streams in the Adj
rondacks.
Financial feasibility of the idea is
urged by the report on the following
estimates:
Identification of $4,000 miles of
railway at gross cost of SSO0,OOO,OOO,
reduced to $65OOOO,000. by salvage
of steam locomotives while yearly
savings on coal and maintenance
would return approximately IA per
cent on the investment,
Incomplete data on $4,000 rover
using plants indicates saving of $780,
600 to 100000 tons of coal year.
Electrifcation of hard coal mines
to save 100000 tons of coal yearly.
Public utilities to be saved 100000
tons of coal annually at average cost
of $3.50 ton.
Hudson Maxim assumes that the
United States would save five billion
dollars through a five-year armament
truce and proceeds to tell what the
nation could do with those five bill
lions. Writing in the New York
World he says among other things:
"a billion collars would build in the
United States $4,000 miles of concrete
roads 20 feet wide-fve roads extend
ing east and west from ocean to ocean,
and six roads extending north and
south. from Canada to Mexico and the
Gulf-roads connecting all the prin-
cipal cities and towns in all the main
directions. The roads could be made
20 feet wide, of the best and most
substantial concrete construction, with
the liberal allowance of $4,000 a mile,
or $1,000. 100000 for $4,000 miles.
''With our billion dollars saved, the
second year we could build the pro-
posed 1ntercostal ship and barge canal
from Boston to Florida, running
through Long Island Sound, crossing
New Jersey to the Delaware, on to
Chesapeake Bay, thence running be-
hind the chain Of islands southwark,

Men Stole $4,000 From Bank
To Be Bootleggers, Say Police

planned their action by declaring that
Sleischmann, who was able to get
liquor withdrawal permits, had per-
suaded Brenner to enter the liquor
business with him, supplying the capt.
tai from the accounts of other deposi-
tors.
Whatever money Sleischmann was
compelled to draw for purposes of the
business the bank bookkeeper is said
to have made good from the accounts
of other depositors. According to the
detectives, Brenner said that they had
just completed a deal which netted them
$500 apiece, and, if business kept up
at this rate, expected to make restitu-
tion to the bank before many months
had passed.
Last month, however, Anthony Ziesat,
manager of the bank, had an account
ant go over Brenner's books. He re-
ported a shortage of $4,000 on No
vember 20, and the following day the
police were notified. Since then Love
and Fitzpatrick have been trailing the
bookkeeper. Noting his frequent con-
ferences swith Sleischmann, who, they
found, was a depositor whose account
had been consistently larger since Au-
gust !, they arrested both of them
when sncy met last night.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-03

Jacob Sleischmann and Harry Bren-
ner were arrested last night charged
with stealing $4,000 from the Broad
way Central Bank, 2574 Broadway, near
Ninety-seventh- Street, although they
said according to the police, that they
had invested the money in a bootleg
ging enterprise which was doing very
nicely and intended to make restitu-
tion as soon as the business war
ranted it.
Brenner, who lives with his wife and
two children at 367 East 155th Street,
is bookkeeper at the bank. Sleisch-
mann, a widower with one son, who
lives at 800 West 1l6th Street, kept
comparatively small balance at the
institution prior to last August.
Brenner is accused OF crediting to
Sleischmann's account deposits made
by other patrons of the bank, to the
amount of $4,000, between August 1
and November 90 According to De-
tectives Love and Fitzpatrick of the
West Tooth Street police station, who
arrested the pair at Third Avenue and
Eighty Street, they acknowl-
edged the truth of the allegation.

;, George A. Glynn, chairman of the
Republican State Committee, seemed
considerably surprised yesterday when
asked about the report that Governor
miller would not accept renomina-
ton He said:
Governor Miller was supported for
the nomination last year by the Re-
publican organization" he said. "He
mas earned a denomination, and the Re-
publican organization leaders expect
nim to be candidate again next year,
IN which case the organization will
heartily support him. If he should de-
eide not to be candidate, no one will
know that fact before it is made known
to the Republican State Committee"
The local Republican leaders are al
most solidly of the opinions that the
Governor will be renominated. They
argue that he has started number of
important projects, like the reorgani-
cation OF the transit system of this
city, reduction in the cost of handling
foodstuffs in this city through a re-
organization of the port facilities and
5ne utilization by the state of it's
hfydrp-electric resources, all of which,
they say, are only fairly under way.

He agreed to return to New York on
the same ship when she sails next
Monday, provided he was not arrested.
Under these circumstances he was per-
mitted to land. He established him
self in the Continental Hotel and is
expected to remain there until the

The official explanation made by
French police officials tonight was
that Mr.. Morse had been requested to
return to America because he was an
undesirable alien" IT was at the
same time made plain that the merits
of the case had not been entered into.
Morse Says He Is Ill

Immediately expressed a willingness to

PARIS, Dec. 2.-Premier BRAND
landed on French soil to-day, after his
effort in Washington to impress
Frances need Of adequate defenses,
and tonight he was again in Paris,
struggling with the knotty problems
of reparations, which are vexing the
Allies almost to the point of breach
between France and England.
The Premier landed at Havre at II
o'clock this morning, announcing that
he had had an ideal voyage and was
satisfied with the results of his So
journ in Washington. He arrived in
Paris on a special train at $3.50 p. m.
and Immediately motored to the Quai
d'Orsay, where he held lengthy con-
ference with President Millerand.
The Premier talked through almost
the entire journey from Havre with
Louis Loucheur, Minister of Devastated
Regions. on Frances position on the
separations problem, and it was this
subject which occupied his hour-long
talk with President Millerand.
In Sparkling Humor
The Premier was in a sparkling
humor as he received the correspond
ents at the Foreign Office tonight, de-
claring he would like nothing better
than to have remained in Washington
for the entire conference. He would
have done so, he added, if the inter
pellators in the Chamber of Deputies
had been able to spare the presence in
Paris of Premier they think has no
other duty but to answer their criti-
cisms.
BRAND repeated that France intends
to do her share toward the reduction
ofland ornaments and will soon cut
them down so per cent. He did not
believe that the vital reparations ques-
ton now troubling Europe would be
introduced at the conference, whose
agenda were fixed on the limitation of
armaments and the Pacific problems,
but it was certain that another meet
ing would take place, at which these
questions would be discussed.
THE Washington conference, under
the rules now promulgated, could not
extend the agenda or call in certain
other powers aside from those repre-
sented without the unanimous consent
of all the powers involved" said the
Premier, in commenting on reports
that Germany and Russia probably
would be summoned to Washington and
that the injection of European prob
lens would result.
