of the armament of land and aerial

ARCHITECTS DENY
DELANO CRITICISM
Declare Presidents Selection of
New Yorker to Fill Vacancy
Brought No Protest.

A statement issued today from the
headquarters here of the American
Institute of Architects by Edwin H.
Brown, its secretary, made it plain
that the association has not now and
never did have any criticism to offer
of the appoin ntment of William Adams
Delano to the Fine Arts Commission
The statement said, in part:
1.-The American Institute Of Archi-
tects has received several inquiries as
to it's position with regard to criti-
cisms of the recent appointment by
President Coolidge of New York
architect, rather than a Washington
architect, on the Commission of Fine
Arts. In answer to these inquiries
the secretary of the institute, Mr..
Edwin H. Brown, has authorized the
following statement:
1.-The American Institute of Archi-
tects was largely instrumental in
bringing about the establishment of
the Commission OF Fine Arts, whose
principal function is to guard and
develop the established plan of Wash
ington. The relations between the
institute and the commission have al
ways been and are most cordial. The
members of the commission are ap-
pointed by the President and the com
mission reports to him. 1t has long
since been the policy of the institute,
as a national society, to make no in
dorsements or recommendations for
the filing of vacancies on the COM
mission.
with reference to the filling of
the vacancy caused by the death of
Mr.. Henry Bacon, the institute most
carefully refrained from making a
recomme enda ton in any form. There
fore, the Institute of Architects
wishes the public and the executive
and legislative branches of the gov
ernment to know that it has no criti-
cism to offer, publicly or privately, of
the Presidents recent selection for
the commission, and that it has moth
ing but praise for the splendid ac-
complishments of the commission

Both the Western and Eastern
branches ovcrtiowed their banks and
played havoc with the surrounding

which the Eastern branch runs, was
the worst hit of all the suburban
points. and the porches of several
houses were still under water today
When the onrushing flood water
met the incoming tide at Bladensburg
the branch measured more than six
feet above normal and swept over
the baltimore boulevard in Il torrent.
Shortly before dark the police closed
the road to motor traffic, and hun

One of the prisoners listed in the
arrests Saturday night was Julia
Curtain, who was charged only. with
sale of liquor, and not with sale and
illegal possession, as at first reported.
No LIQUOR was seized at her address at
224 Az street southwest.
Estimated Value $4,000
Value of the liquors seized Satur-
day was placed at $4,000 by Maj. Sui
livan, superintendent of police, in re-
missioner Oyster. The estimate was
based on bootleg prices.
The major also handed the Com
missioner report summarizing the
results of dry law enforcement last
week, showing the following:
Total number of arrests, 1877; total
quantity of beverages seized, 1,045
gallons; automobiles, seized, 3.

SHIP BOARD PROBE
STIRRED BY DEBATE
Reports of Alleged Influence
of Brush Brings
Discussion.

Investigation of the Shipping Board
by a special House committee turned
up its first live debate today when
Representative Davis. democrat, Ten
nessee, prosecutor" brought up re-
ports of alleged influence by Matthew
Brush, president of the American
International Corporation. in the for
mutation of American merchant marine
policies.
Representative Davis had been ex
amining Chairman OConnor of the
board to what he knew of the
original memorandum submitted to
President Coolidge by Senator Jones,
republican, Washington, chairman of
the Senate commerce committee.
recommending enforcement of the
Fleet Corporation and the Shipping
Board. This proposal differed ma
terially from the resolution finally
adopted by the board delineating the
authority of the two:
on the appointment of Leigh c.
Palmer president of the corporation
after President Coolidge had accepted
in principle the advice of Chairman
Jones as to separation of power, but
rejected the recommendation that r.
T. Rossbottom be placed in charge
of operations. Chairman OConnor re-
piled he did not know.
Tells of Conference.
Chairman O'Connor testified that
Palmers name was suggested to the
board at a meeting with the Presi-
dent, which Chairman Greene of the
House merchant marine committee:
Representative Edmonds. republican,
Pennsylvania; Senator Fletcher. dem
NJ
members of the Shipping Board were
present.
Representative Davis asserted that
in view of the affiliations of the
American International Corporation
with the International Mercantile
was IAN adviser of the President on
shipping matters, he believed advice
from this quarter might be "objec-
tionable."
Representative Davis read from re-
ports to show the International Mer-
camille Marine was operating so per
cents Of it's ships under foreign flags.
He added that its contracts favored
the British trade and that it's opera
tions had been investigated by the
Senate.
Questions Salary Raises.
Representative Lineberger, repub-
lican, California, protested the ques-
tions were not relevant and were
based wholly on press accounts and
hearsay," whereupon Chairman White
objected to what he termed inter
ference" on the part of a member.
Asked why Sydney Henry and w.
B. Keene. vice presidents of the
Fleet Corporation, had been given
salary raises in 1923 from s11, 900 and
$4,000, respectively, to. $4,000, -Mr.
O'Connor said he believed the men
were worth that much in view of
salaries on the outside" for similar
work!
Mr.. .O'Connor said no recommenda-
tions had been made by Mr.. Palmer to
fill the vacancy created by the resig-
nation of William J. Love as manager
of the United, States lines, but that
Mr.. Rossbottom had taken over one
of his several duties. REPRESENTATIVE
Davis pointed out that prior to his
coming to the board Mr.. Love was
connected with the Furness Witty
Company, which, he said, has never
operated ship under the American
flag"

Appeals today reversing the action
of the commissioner of patents, who
had dismissed an opposition proceed
ing brought by the Orange Crush
Company against the California
Crushed Fruit Company, which
sought to register the trade mark

The use of the mark by the latter
company, the court finds, has resulted

pirate the good will of another whose
