fore the circuits are set up or the
days business begins, every line is
tested, Just as this is being tested
now, or by talking and ringing tests.
A deft manipulation of certain com
binations of keys and plugs, a sway

rapid calculation and, perhaps, a ref

service of another specialist.
Waiting operators establish the con-

couple of hundred miles-a telephone
bell tinkles and a trouble man an

bed to answer, for on lines running
between the larger cities tests are
made at regular intervals during the
night, as well as in the morning.
There's an open between Pole 1903
and Pole 1894, just east of Elmhurst

board say. Into his working toys
he hurries, jumps into a flivver and
off he goes, picking up his gang en-
route, to locate and repair the break.
Nine times out of ten, or better, he
finds it just where the testboard man
tells him to look for it. And an hour
or so later the subscriber makes his
long distance call over that line-and
never knows the difference.
Or it may he cable that is being
tested, in which case the trouble gang,

ICE FIELDS CLOG COAST;
SEAL CATCH is SMALL

ST. JOHNS. n. F., March 24.-The
south coast of New Foundland again
is obstructed by great ice fields. The
mail steamer Kyle, which left this port
last Saturday, reported today that she
had just reached Harbor Breton, 160
miles from St. Johns, a trip usually
made in twenty hours.
Reports from the sealing fleet toda y
were that the total killed SO far is
only $4,000 seals, Of which $4,000 were
taken in one day. The owners express
fear that the fleet has missed the ice
foe carrying the main seal herd.
The stormy weather and rough ice
surface have made it impossible to use
an airplane taken along with the fleet
for spotting the herds from the air. :

MRS. HIT REWEDS
FORMER HUSBAND
Daughter of Late Senator e.
kins and Spouse Were
Divorced in Paris.
SOCIETY NOT SURPRISED
Have Been Constantly Together
Since Separation-Spending
Honeymoon in Gotham.
SOCIETY NOT SURPRISED

Mrs. Katherine Elkins Hit, daugh-
| ter OF the late Senator Stephen B
Elkins of West Virginia, was married
here yesterday to her former husband
William +. r. Hit of Washington
from whom she was divorced in Paris
in the summer of 1921.
Miss Elkins and Mr.. Hit were mar
ried on October 81. 1914, a few years
after first reports that she was be-
cousin of the King of Italy, and mem
ber of the House of Savoy. Hit, a
son of a former representative in
Congress from Illinois. was one of
her first suitors. and remained one Of
her admirers through the period OF
an International romance, which
caused echoes In more than one
European capital.
Honeymoon In New York.
Incompatability was said to have
been the cause of their separation.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine Elkins. with
one or two others, were present at
the wedding. They are supposed to
be spending their second honeymoon
at the Ritz in New York. Further
information than that the wedding
took place yesterday could not be
obtained from Mrs. Elkins, Mrs. Hits
mother.
Society folk of Washington and
New York refused to be surprised at
the announcement, since the devotion
of the husband TO his ex-wife was
quite apparent They have been con-
stantly together since a few months
after the divorce, and even at the
time the divorce was granted in
France, their friends knew they were
the best and closest of friends
Not Fond OF Society.
Mrs. Hit has never been a devotee
of society, and has spent almost her
entire time with her horses and dogs
since reaching womanhood. Her
stables at the Middleburg estate are
among the most notable Of the coun-
try, and her kennels are almost as
widely known. Both she and Mr..
Hit are ardently fond of horses, and
her trophies of the tan bark fill an
entire room in her mothers residence
on X street.
The Virginia estate has been oc-
cupied, alternately, by Mr.. and Mrs.
Hit since their divorce, each pre-
ferring the country to the city life.

VICE SQUAD SEXES
$4,000 OF RUM
762 Quarts of Alleged "ReaI'
Goods Taken From Train
at Union Station.

In a strategic follow-up of insorma-
tion obtained on recent raids. the vice
squad, under Lieut.. Davis and revenue
agents, last night seized 762 quarts of
genuine Scotch and rye whiskies at
the Union station, after an agent of
the squad had trailed the consignment
from Savannah, Ga, to this city.
The identity of the man accompany
ing the consignment, which was in
the baggage car of the train, is
known, police state. but he escaped
arrest by leaving the train at some
station before reaching Washington.
Valued Mt $4,000.
Valuation Of the liquor, If retailed at
a conservative bootleg price for good
Cuban stuff" experts of the vice squad
estimated, would run to more than
$4,000.
During the new system originated by
Lieut. Davis in raids, information as
to "follow-up'' cases came to him which
established the belief that at least
$4,000 worth of Cuban liquor each
week was finding it's way into Wash
ington.
The trunks were hauled to the second
precinct. They were dumped in the
hall way between the squad room and
the cells, and nearly blocked passa ge-
way for prisoners.

PARIS, March 24-Reviewing the
discussion now going on over the
Washington naval treaty, the Temps
today cites the interditcions imposed
upon Germany by the treaty Of Ver-
sailles concerning naval construc-
ton, and declared that, if the Yer
sailles clauses were respected, France
naturally would follow the Wash
ington treaty. But the German vio-
lation of the Versailles stipulations
would change everything. and new
French naval precautions would be
Indispensable.
These precautions might be SO
urgent, the Temps says, that there
would be no time in which to con-
woke a conference for reconsidera-
tion of the treaty, as provided for in
article XXI Of the document. There
fore the newspaper suggests the ad-
dition of a clause declaring that. the
Versailles treaty having fixed the
limit for Germany's naval arma-
ments, forbidding Germany to export
naval war materials or send naval
missions to foreign countries and
submitting Germany to define meas
ures of control and investigation
France shall ratify the Washington
treaty on condition that such ratifi-
cation will not prevent urgent meas

sary to adopt If the clauses of the

TO consider seriously on Tuesday the

garded as possible tonight that
Premier Poincare may demand unre-

the chamber, despite the committees

In such action. NJ. Poincare is ex-

tion 10 ratification without reserva-
tion by an appeal to the lawmakers
to leave observations to the govern
ment. which can make them through
diplomatic channels. In other words,
the premier could send separate notes
to the various other signatory ma

to defend herself against Germany's
violation or disregard of the disarm-
amcnt clauses Of the Versailles treaty
and at the same time not suffer the
onus of having broken the Washing
ton pact.
Hands Treaty to Experts.
Premier Poincare today handed over
to the treaty experts at the Quai

Washington document closely to
ascertain If the government consid-
ers 1t necessary to discuss with the
chamber further the interpretation of

only to accept or reject treaties. In

good faith with respect to the dis

For this reason, 1t Is not believed
that either NJ. Poincare. his experts
