nection with the Staying. A number
of federal officers have arrived here

been the spotter and Stuart and
Ramsey actual leaders of the boot
leg gang which cOnspired to get the
two officers out of their way, ac-
Cording to evidence in their hands

Radio Wedding Music /
Every Day Proposed
By Atlanta Organist

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 81.
Brides in isolated farm houses, and
in distant rural communities, will
be able to march to the altar to the
strains of wedding music played by
the country's greatest artists If a
scheme proposed by Charles A.
Sheldon, Jr. of Atlanta, to the con-
Vention of the National Association
of Organists is carried out.
1t is suggested by Mr.. Sheldon
that a program of wedding music
played on the finest organs Of the
country be radiocast at regular in
tcrvals. The hours probably will be
between noon and o'clock in the
evening as these times seem to be
the most popular with brides.
1t is expected that action on the
plan will be taken by the convention
before adjournment.

be a great step toward a final set
Element
The plan was laid before the ex'
perts at noon. After considering it
for an hour the committee adjourned
until p. M. One of the points of
the French proposal provides for a
board of arbitration calculated to
make a declaration of default on the
part of Germany by the reparation
commission much more difficult to
obtain than now. Another provides
for setting up machinery to take
care of defects which might develop
in the working of the Dawes plan
and still another establishes guaran-
tees against Germany manuvering
out of payments in kind.
According to a French semi-offi-
cial source the proposal also provides
for the evacuation of the Ruhr in
successive steps as the securities
issued under the plan are floated.
