Palmer Garfield, state federal prohi-

Staten Island, at 5 o'clock and re-
turned half an hour later. saying his
inspection tour had been satisfactory.
The flight was made, Mr.. Garfield
said, principally to determine wheth-
er the afrplane could be made q
weapon against rum smuggling by
spotting the whereabouts of the
liquor vessels SO that coast guard
cutters could mobilize from the sea
and prohibition agents on land to cut
on the traffic.
"This means the death Of the rum
fleet" he said on his return. II will
use mile a-minute seaplanes equip
ped with machine guns, which will
put an end to the practice of bringing
liquor ashore. I have already advo-
Gated the use Of water patrol Of the

The national board Of the Y. W. c. A.,

efforts of Andrew G. Pollock, news

ton to prevent custer proceedings
being conducted against him by the

Justice Siddons of the District Su-
preme Court has announced that he
will sign an order denying the appli-
cation for Injunction.
Mr.. Pollock claimed that the oppo-

that he not only failed to keep his
agreement as to the sale Of tobacco,
but did not conduct tho beauty parlor

taken the position that the right Of

Gated that his attitude would be

The newspaper asserts that the pre-
mier holds the ruling to be contrary

1t should be remarked, adds lie

it would be extremely easy to turn
against American ships.

AQUEDUCT BRIDGE
IS NOT FOR SALE

Acting Secretary Davis of the War
Department has informed r. H. Phil
lips of Kensngton. Md. that the War
Department is without authority
either to sell or lease the Aqueduct
bridge over the Potomac river at
Georgetown. and that the disposition
of that structure rests entirely with
Congress.
Mr.. Phillips recently offered to
lease the old bridge and put it in
good repair with a view to it's use
for heavy motor traffic and steam
railroad transportation between
Georgetown and Rosslyn. He posted
$1,000 with the War Department as
an evidence of good faith and stated
that his plan was indorsed by many
merchants as being in the interest of
increased traffic facilities between
the District and Virginia.
Bridge Safety Question.
Army engineers question whether
the Aqueduct Bridge can be made
safe for heavy traffic, even with ex-
tensive and costly repairs. They
pointed out that the piers were dis
integrating and that the structure
had been officially condemned as un-
safe several years ago. That was
the main reason, it was explained,
why Congress authorized the con-
struction of the new $2.000,000 con-
crete bridge since named in honor Of
Francis Scott Key. author of The
Star Spangled Banner"
The engineers say further that the
act of Congress calls for the re-
moval of the Aqueduct bridge on the
completion of the Key bridge, but
that no specific appropriation is
available for that purpose. At pres
ent the old bridge is used only to
carry the cars of the Washington and
Old Dominion line to it's terminus
in Georgetown. That use will be
discontinued when the new terminal
station of the company at Rosslyn
is put in operation, probably in Au-
gust next.
Georgetown residents are interested
In the fate of the old bridge to the
extent of preserving the span over
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal at the
Georgetown end, II possible. for use
as a recreation and observation pier.
1t is expected that the War Depart
ment will present the question Of
the disposition of the historic struc-
ture to Congress next December.

Stops Considered.

President Harding has under con-
sideration. among other plans for his
western trip. a proposal advanced by
Secretary DENLY that he return from
Alaska on d naval vessel by way of
the Panama canal and Porto Rico.
Secretary DENLY said today that
he had outlined such a trip for the
president and had pointed out the
advantages which would accrue not
only in the way of rest for the
executive and Mrs. Harding, but also
the opportunity it would afford to
visit Porto Rico. So far as could be

Possible Use OF Warship.
The proposal made by the Secretary
OF the Navy is understood to con-
template the use, possibly. Of one of
the new naval vessels. such as the
cruisers Detroit and Omaha. which,
have just been completed. In event
OF return by water. the President
also might use one of the Shipping
Board vessels. and 1t is understood
that he has discussed that possibility

The President. in discussing with
visitors his western trip. has always
made IT plain that it's chief object
was not the speeches to be made in
the west. but the study of conditions
IN Alaska. Those who have brought
up the question OF return to Wash
ington by water have pointed out
that such a route would permit the
President to study also conditions in
Porto Rico. another possession which
during the past two years has pre-
sented problems Of administration

AS opposed to those who have ad-
vised the President to return by boat
are a great number of senator's and
representatives. political leaders and
also cabinet members who believe the
President should not throw aside the
opportunity to obtain information as
to the problems and viewpoint of the
northwestern states. The tentative
schedule of the Presidents trip has
always provided for a return through
the northwestern states, beginning at
Seattle and continuing through such
cities as Spokane. Helena Boise,

lis. Chicago. South Bend, Ind, and

council of ministers. 1t was submit
ted to the Belgian government
Thursday night and will be trans
mitted Saturday at the latest to
Great Britain. the United States.
Japan. Italy and Germany. The re-
ply is dominated by the following
principles:
l. France will refuse to reopen
conversations of any sort with Ger
many until Germany has entirely
ceased her passive resistance in the
Ruh-, which France regards as an
open defiance of Germany's treaty
obligations.
1st Pay, Then Eyacuate.
2. France under no circumstances
will evacuate the Ruhr prior to re-
ohNci Sasi'HS, oul " Al ehSSt
this evacuation only progressively and
gradually as Germany actually pays.
3. The only basis for discussion
which France will accept Is the So
called scale payments of May, 1921
solemnly accepted by Germany, or
as benevolently modified by the
French proposals of last January.
4. Finally, in the question of se-
curity, France will accept no more
German pledges as Belgium's expert
ence In 1914 showed that pledge is
worthless, but demands something
concrete: fofr example, the permanent
naturalization Of the Rhineland.
See Sign OF Collapse.
Under the January plan France Of
fered Germany a moratorium of two
years tor cash payments and special
discount facilities in case the money
was raised by an international loan.
1t accepted fifty billion gold marks
az the total reparations. of which the
French share would be 26,000. 600, 900
gold marks. but reserved the right
to hold enough unissued c bonds
eventually to compensate the French
debt to Great Britain and the United
