Washington Interested

Washington, Nov. 28.-American postal officials are much interested in the plans of Dr. Hugo Eckner, contemplating weekly airship mail service between the United States and Europe, but they know of no definite steps to that end.
 Paul Henderson, second assist ant postmaster general. who has charge of the air mail service, has been studying the possibilities of using airships of the Zeppelin type in connection with the future of the United States recent acquisition of the ZR-3, now the Los Angeles. There has been much discussion among army, navy and postal off, Cials and some idea of the approXi- mate costs has been worked out. The government is in a friendly at titute toward any proposals which will permit of trans. Atlantic mail transmission by airship at cost within reason, but thus far no pro posals have been made 10 Washing ton by airship manufacturers.
 There is doubt in the minds of American postal authorities as to the correctness of the belief of the Zep- relin Goodyear combination that weekly service each way across the Atlantic carrying letters at 25 cents each should be q business success. To compete with the present steam ship services, scmi-weekly air ship service would be required.
 Five Ships Needed
 To carry on such q service at least five ships would be needed and hangar on both sides of the ocean capable of housing two ships, The cost of equipping such service would be at least $2o00o,Ooo, 1t is roughly estimated The cost of handling ar sirship, if hydrogen were used for imitation would he about $11, ,000 weekly, and if he Hum were used it would run several times that amount
 The daily accuAulation of Ameri- can mails for Great Britain and France at present is about 2S0, ,O0O letters weekly. To carry this amount across the Atlantic about S35,o00 a week is paid the steamship compan- les. Only a small proportion of this large foreign mail, in the opinion of American postal officials, would be despatched by it's senders at the rate of 25 cents, suggested by the Zep- pelin-Goodyear combination.
 While the American government might consider proposals for carry ing this foreign mail by arship at a slightly higher cost than at present is paid steamship lines, the opinion of postal authorities IS that the gov- ernment would not undertake the full cost or even the major portion of any such experimental service.

Dr. Eckner of Zeppelin Company Announces Plans Which Do Not Includ e Passenger Trips For Present.
German Expert Also Plan- ming Madrid-Bueno Aires ROute-Aircraft Larger Than ZR-3.
By the Associated Press.

Iv NfN NHSSN'otou iSsS'
 Berlin. Nov. 3S.-There will soon be a weekly mail Zeppelin service between the United States and Europe, the correspondents here were informed today by Dr. Hugo Eckener director of the Zeppelin company. who had charge of the ZR-3's transatlantic flight.
 No Passenger Service
 The Zeppelin-Goodyear combina- tion does not intend to establish a passenger service for the present, 1s Indicated, but believes one Zeppelin each way weekly carrying a half million letters at 25 cents per letter would be a success.
 Dr. Eckener expects soon to leave for Spain to arrange for a Madrid Buenos Aires service operated on the same basis as the weekly serv- Ice to and from the United States. The dirigibles on this route would take four days going from Europe and four and half days returning, he estimated.
 Larger Airships
 The aLrship of the future will oe larger than the zRi-3. according to Dr Eckener, who predicted the ca pacity at from 100000 10 10000 cubic metres. With such ship. he declared, the North Pole region could be easily explored.
 AS measure for effecting an easy landing for the big dirtgibles, making a repetition Of the trouble eper- fenced last week at the Washington christening of the Los Angeles un- likely. Dr. Eckener suggests starting and landing at night, when the sun Is not shining and little gas need be brown off.

LaF0LLETTE AND HACKERS ARE READ OUT OF PARTY;
 CURTIS SUCCEEDS LODGE
Ladd, Frazier And Brookhart Placed On G. 0. P. Blacklist By Vote Which Was Overwhelming.

Washington, Nov. 2S.--senator Robert M. La Toilette of Wisconsin, and three of his principal supporters In the senate practically were read out of the republican party today at a conference of senate republi- cans.
 The conference adopted a resolu- tion by Senator Reed of Pennsyl- vania, under which Senator La Foll- cite, Senators Ladd and Frazier of North Dakota and Brookhart of Iowa will no longer be given repub- lican places on senate committees or invited to attend future party con- ferences.
 Text of Resolution
 The Reed resolution follows:
 Resolved, that it be the sense of the conference that Senators La Toilette, Ladd. Brookhart and Fraz- fer be not invited to future confer ences and be not named to fill any republican vacancies on senate com mittees."
 Senator Ladd was the only one of the four senators named in the reso- lution present at the conference. Senator La Toilette who was an in- dependent candidate for the presi- dency, remained at his home.
 No Changes At Present
 The resolution will not disturb present committee assignments re- publican leaders said, but will serve as an expression of the view of the conference to be considered by the committee on committees, when the question of filling vacancies comes up.
 Separate viva voce votes were talk en on each section Of the resolution, and the majority was overwhelming in each case, with only two or three voices raised In opposition. There were no speeches in opposition, but Senator Harreld, Oklahoma, suggest ed certain notifications which were disapproved.
 Senator Spencer of Missouri moved the appointment of com- mittee to suggest ways of accom- plishing the same purpose sought in the resolution. but the conference adopted the Reed resolution as the preferable alternative.
 The question first was raised by Senator Edge of New Jersey, who told his colleagues that republican senators faced a responsibility in the matter 10 the country, to the party and to themselves which could not be shirked.

BUTLER WILL KEEP
 PHILADELPHIA JOB Agrees to Remain Three Years
 More as Police Head IF HE CAN GET LEAVE
Marine Corps General and Mayor Kendrtck Have Peace Talk and Agree To Start All Over Again Policemen Are Given Warning.

Philadelphia, Nov. 28.-General Smedley D. Butler will remain the head of the Philadelphia police ana fire departments for the next three years If his leave from the marin. corps Is extended, 1t was announced today by Mayor Kendrick and Gen. Butler.
 After a conference between the mayor and general, Mir. Kendrick said: General Butler called and we had very nice talk We are in per- feet accord, The general desires to stay and I will take up the matter with President Coolidge at his con- venience."
 Cleanup, Says Butler
 General Butler said:
 T will remain here for four full years. There Is no use of any more wobbling in the department. Let's get out now and clean up this city"
 Mayor Kendrick said he would communicate with the president either by wire or letter to arrange an engagement.
 General Butler came here in January of this year as director of the department of public safety. He had been granted one-year's ab- sence from the marine corps to &C., cept the place. Until today's an nouncement there was uncertainty as to whether the general would be asked to remain the full four year term of the present city administra- ton. The one-year leave expires on January 5.
 Will Start Out Fresh
 we start out fresh again" said General Butler to the assembled po- lice ieutenants later. "The mayor and I have just finished a fine talk. as the result of which the mayor will communicate with President Coolidge in regard 10 my staying in Philadelphia. have extended the lease on my house and that's enough isn't it. to convince you that I am going to stay.
 There is no use listening to any more talk about this crazy man go- ing to leave. That poison has been shot and has lost its odor. It's 8 thing of the past. To any man who has good sense and wants to hold his job, nothing more need be said.
 Warning To Policemen
 q want you lieutenants to spread the nets among the patrolmen. Tell them if they want to hold their jobs they won't come fin with any more canned reports on disorderly places. They'll clean them up. They will not make notes of drunks going tn and out of cafes, but will arrest them, and they'll grab every person they see with liquor in their pos session.
 Tn my tull-speed ahead drive I am going to make a personal appeal to every policeman of the city at a meeting which will he held in one of the armories next week.
 i've never in my life felt in bet ter condition for a scrap than do at this moment. We have gone through & lot of fire, but we're purg- ed now and we're off with run ming start"

Worid's Platinum Supply

The main source of the worlds sup
plies Of platinum is normally Russia,
which once had an output Of 100000
ounces per annum, derived from gravel
beds. AS result of the war the price
Of platinum Is about three times what
it was formerly, and the temptation
has been considerable in this country
to boom platinum mining.
To this end all sorts of properties
have been pronounced to be capable of
producing platinum from ores Of vari-
GUS kinds, and even shales and sands
AS a matter Of fact, this country Is
practically destitute of platinum, as 1t
Is Of nickel and tin, and the cases In
which the United States bureau OF
mines has been able to check claims
advanced have revealed at the most
practically unavoidable traces of the
metal" wrtes Engineering.
