Reorganization of Federal
Departments Has Presi-
dents Support

Unless the Federal establishment
Is completely supervised and check
ed up, it will run to seed, in the
view of President Coolidge.
The President favorsa continuous
inquiry into all Federal functions,
so that any tendency to retain
useless or wasteful cogs in The
Federal machinery may be counter
acted.
The reorganization Of all the Fed
eral departments has the strong
support of the President, it was
made clear at the White House to-
day. The President expects that
this legislation will be enacted at
the next session Of Congress.
Specific proposals TO permit him
to transfer or consolidate Federal
bureaus in a practical way has not
yet received his direct attention,
but the President expects that this
plan will be part Of reofganiZa-
ton legislation to be considered by
the next Congress.
Supervision of the entire Federal
establishment is to be continued
unremittingly as part of he
economy and retrenchment pro
gram. The President believes that
many functions are being cOntin-
ued which have outlived their USE
fulness in peace time. He thinks
many of them are survivals Of the
war conditions, and could easily
be dispensed with.

BRAND NOT
To TAKE
POST
Refuses Premiership Because
Foes Among Socialists
Prefer Painleye
By international News Service.

PARIS, April Ia. - Aristide
BRAND, seven times premier OF
France, will refuse to accept the
premiership because Of the action
of the socialist congress in refus-
ing to enter the cabinet he was
forming, it was said this after
noon.
Upon leaving the chamber at
500 o'clock this evening, n.
BRAND said to international News
Service:
II am now going to the Elysee
palace to inform President 0ou-
mergue that I can not form a
new cabinet"
Resolutions before the Socialist
congress were sponsored by Leon
Blum, reputed power behind the
Herriot throne. Barred from
restoring Herriot to his former
political power, the Socialists de-
termined to nullify Brands
efforts.
Socialists Want Painleve.
Having accomplished this they
began to bring influence to bear
on M. Painleve to reconsider his
decision and to accept the premier
ship.
Theodore Casals, president of the
radical Socialist party, and Senator
Maurice Sarraut visited Herriot in
the name Of the party and re-
quested him to urge Painleve to
follow their program.
BRAND does not take the financial
over-seriously.
After discussing with competent
financial advisors, it appears the
financial situation is not nearly as
serious as has been represented, and
a prolongation of the crisis will not
be fatal" BRAND told the press.
Result of Conferences.
BRAND had reported to the presi-
dent the result of this mornings
These included talks with Cover
nor Robineau, of the Bank of
France; Finance Minister de Monte,
Senate Finance Committee Reporter
Henry Berenger and rormer Finance
Minister Paul Doumer. With all of
them he discussed means of settling
the crisis.
Il informed the Socialists they are
in the Left bloc, and
asked them to decide to take the
encumbent as stock
holders" Rriand said
The Washington times., 1925-04-14

This was disclosed here today
with the first definite announce
ment from Macmillan himself con-
corning his plans. He has sub
n1itted his program in detail to the
National Geographic Society, under
whose auspices the trip Is to be
undertaken.
Under MacMillan's directions,
reconnaissance flights will be made
with amphibian planes over the
central part of the great Greenland
ice cap, the whole interior of
Baffin Island, and the northern
part of Labrador.
Practicable With Planes.
Il believe" said Captain Mac
MILAN, that the practical way of
erasing these unknown areas on
the maps of today is by use of
airplanes, particularly the emphi-
bians, which are capable of land
ing safely on water, ice or land.
II plan to establish a base at
Etah, about 700 miles from che
pole, which good strong ship
can reach by August 1. 1 expect
to leave Wiscasset, Maine. about
June 27, proceed along the Nova
Scotia coast to Sydney, there take
on our coal supply for the season,
and then continue up through the
Gulf of ST. Lawrence to the Labra-
dor coast, and from SIS degrees
north latitude cross to the Danish
town of Julianehaab, South Green
land.
with Julianehaab as base we
shall study the remains OF the old
Morse settlements established in
south Greenland some 1900 years
ago."
1t was from this point that the
early Norsemen are said to have
sailed away centuries ago to dis
cover America. After studying
these ruins the party will proceed
to Godthaab.

IN
ARLINGTON IS
RUMORED
So, 900, 900 Gas and Light
Center Planned, Accord
ing to Report

Construction by group Of New
York financiers of. great combined
electric light and Illuminating gas
plant to serve Arlington county,
Virginia, and portions Of adjoining
counties near Washington, is being
planned for the near future, accord
ing to rumors now in circulation.
1t is stated that approximately $4.-
900, 900 in capital is at the disposal
of hackers of the project.
The movement, IL IS said, has re-
ceived impetus because of the be-
ginning of construction of the
Arlington Memorial bridge and the
resulting hope Of a great increase
in" land values and population in
nearby Virginia.
This plan will be in opposition
to the proposal Of the existing COM
mercial center group to secure cleo
trio current from Great Falls.
Local public utilities companies
have been kept in the dark con-
corning the plans of the New
York group.
Utilities Needed.
Ine neeQ Tor adequate electric
light and power in portions of
nearby Virginia counties has long
been recognized. SO great was the
need south of Alexandria that Con-
gress last session passed legislation
permitting homeowners to tap in
on the Alexandria, Camp Humphreys
power line for lighting purposes.
Plans Are Kept Secret
The new project, details of which
are being held close secret until
plans are more nearly perfected, is
not related to the proposal made
recently by a joint committee of
Washington and Alexandria bust
ness men to establish a great COM
mercial center and river shipping
point on the Virginia shore of the
Potomac between Washington and
Alexandria.
According to present plans Of the
group, 1T is said, the construction
of the plant probably will be under
taken within the next few months.
The rapid growth of nearby Vir-
ginia communities in which many
Washlngtonians are establishing
their homes, has created an insist,
ent demand for increased public
utilities.
Bills were introduced in Congress
last session and will be reintroduced
in December to provide for connect
ing of the water and sewer system
of Arlington county with those of
washington across the new Key
bridge.

Necessity of Cooperation
of State

The need of some agreement be-

over the development of property
adjacent to the Maryland and Dis.

Engineer Commissioner J. Franklin

De C|SION
PLEASES
LABOR
Notification Of Kansas Indus
trial Law Is Praised by
Federation Head
By FRED ]. WALKER,
international News Service.

Terming it their 'Magna
Charta," American Federation Of
Labor officials were jubiliant to-
day over the United States
Supreme Court decision multiplying
the Kansas Industrial Court law,
which for: more than two years
has been the center of heated
controversy.
"The Supreme Court has re-
established the charter rights OF
labor as laid down by the Ameri-
can constitution" William Green,
president of the federation, said
to international News Service.
Free to Bargain.
The Kansas law forced both labor
and capital to submit to arbitration
and comply with the decision OF the
arbitration tribunal, providing pen
aIties for noncompliance.
1.-THE decision leaves labor free,
as it should be. to bargain collect
lively with employers. In my opin-
ion it completely destroys the Il
fectiVeness of the Kansas Industrial
Court and American labor can now
enter an era of new progress with
this milestone behind it,"
Green said the whole industrial
atmosphere had been clarified, and
both capital and labor would mate
rally benefit by the decision.
Compulsory arbitration. as pro-
vided by the Kansas statute, car
ried to it's logical conclusion means
industrial slavery. If you can force
men to work they are slaves"
Works Both Ways.
A significant feature Of the court
action, according to Green, was
that the Wolf Packing Company,
of Kansas City, employing hun.
dreds of men was the agency
through which the case was car
ried to the Supreme Court.
This employer realized that his
freedom was also interfered with.
If men are forced to work against
their wills, employers also must
abide by the decisions of court
which might force them to keep
more men on their payrolls than
they desired"
Labor attorneys have started an
investigation of the Colorado law
which forces employees to remain at
work for thirty days after strike
has been called so that an Inyesti-
CATION of the difficulty can be
made by a State tribunal.
Not Parallel Law.
Although the Colorado act IS not
believed to completely parallel the
Kansas statute, it is thought that
the thirty-day compulsory labor
clause might similarly be inter
preted as interfering with the con-
stitutional rights Of American
citizens.
Unofficial opinion in labor circles
was that an effort might be made
to break the Colorado law.
Green foresaw better relations
between employer and laborer now
that there is a clear cut" inter.
probation of the cardinal principle
of labor uniOnism-the right Of col
lective bargaining.

Bucky Harris to Play Despite

NEW YORK, April IL eveJ
in my life have seen : ball club
SO infused with the winning spirit.
or 50 Wild for an opening game,
declared Stanley Harris IS he s'ir-
veyed his gang, about to depart
from the AIamac Hotel for an
early workout in the Yankee
Stadium, where this day will clash
the world champion Griffmen and
the not SO distinguished New York
entry in the American League.
It would fit nicely if one could
say that the dashing young chief
tain reviewed his battling clan
with head held high and eyes
sparkling. But the youthful Lead
er's neck is almost as stiff as
his backbone, and to tilt the chin
is painful. However, the eyes
glinted.
Harris Sure To Go In.
Bucky's rigid craw, Fred Mar
berry's lame ankle, and a diminish
ing blue spot between the shoulder
blades of Ossie Bluege are all that
prevent the assertion that the
Griffmen are in perfect fettle for
the opening Of campaign in which
they hope to prove to partly
doubling world that the memorable
triumph of 1924 was in no way a
gift of the gods.
Excepting Fred Marberry, every
man jack of the ball club Is ready
to leap at the Yankees, as 1t were.
Harris, noted as gamester, laughed
at a suggestion that he might not
perform, and Bluege was so eager
for action that he rubbed his hands
together like one looking forward
to great joy. George Mogr1dge,
slated to pitch, said he never felt
better. He viii probably oppose
Urban Shocker.
YanIks No Easy Meat.
The Griffmen will face a thorough
w formidable enemy today, even
with Babe Ruth out OF the ranks.
One of Miller Higgins men soberly
confessed that the Griffmen knocked
all the cockiness out of the Yankees
in their last meeting. The over
confidence has given way to grim
determination, he said and added:
YOU that the Yankees are not a
great club. We feel that way about
IL but we realize that no matter
how good a team may be, 1t can't
ho certain Of knocking off another
strong team. The Yankees last year
Thought they had such an edge on
tha other teams that they didn't
need to bother much. Those Sena-
tors sure woke 'em up" And In
reply to a supercilious question;
eyes, they are still awake"
with the big test at hand. Man.
ger Harris sized up his team in
the following words: We start
with a better ball club than we
finished with last October. Our
pitching staff is stronger. be-
lieve we have added much to 1t by
getting Gregg, Ruether, and Cow
eleskie. All three have shaped up
we'll this spring. Young Kelly
shows a lot of promise. haven't

Jenkins. but his record with
Georgetown is enough to convince
anybody that he has something.
Adams Shaping Up Well,
"Our infield reserve Is stronger.
Spencer Adams is playing better
ball right now than was expected
of him. Mike McNally has been a
trifle slow in hitting his form but
is getting on fast and soon should
be ready.

AVA R|X IS
NAMED IN
DIVORCE
Wife of Herbert ]. Fahy Calls
Mrs. Clair M. Adams
Correspondent

Another chapter Of "A Romance
Of the Skies" in which Mrs. Clair
NJ. Adams, pretty aviatrix, and
Herbert j. Fahy, a commercial
aviator, play the leading parts.
began today with the filing of a
suit in the District Supreme Court
for an absolute divorce and ali
mony by Mrs. Elizabeth Fuss
Fahy, who names Mrs. Adams as
correspondent.
The marital difficulties of the
two families began last July,
when Mrs. Adams filed suit for a
limited divorce against her hus-
band, James Henry Adams. a
motorman on the Washington
Railway and Electric Company.
She alleged non-support and asked
for the custody of their four-year-
old son, Jimmy Adams.
He Named Aviator.
Adams, in answering his wife's
bill of complaint, alleged that his
wife was not a proper person to
have the child, and named Aviator
Fahy as the third party in the
domestic difficulties of the couple,
who had been living apart for sew
eral months.
On July 8, last, according to Mrs.
Adams, her husband forcibly took
little Jimmy" from her and placed
him in the custody Of his parents
home in Fairfax county, Va. Adams
intimated in his bill that his avia-
trix-wife was too friendly with
Fahy, who was a lieutenant IN
the air forces during the world
war, and alleged that beside teach
ing her to fly al airplane, he had
persuaded her to fly the domestic
coop.
Orders Boy Returned.

District Supreme Court and Janu-
airy 9, Justice Hoehling, after listen
Ing to lawyers for the boys fathe..
and mother, ordered that the young
ster be returned to his mother
until the divorce case had been
settled.
In the bill filed by Mrs. Fahy
today, through Attorney Walter
Holland, she also charged her hus
band with desertion and with leav
Ing her in destitute circumstances.
She asserts that she is compelled
to depend largely on the charity
of her mother, Mrs. Marie Fuss,
and that she is working in a Iaun-
dry at salary of SIC a week.
She claims that her husband told
her last October. that il she brought
legal proceedings against him or
attempted to indict him for non
support, he would leave town and
she would never see him again.
Fahy, she says, has a weekly in
come of 800 and is owner of an
airplane and an expensive auto
mobile.

Mrs. ]. E. English Writes Of Her
Experiences in the Nations Capitol

Mrs. ]. E. English. 1419 Clifton
street, Washington, d. c., writes
most interestingly of her expert
ences in the capital, where she is
spending the winter. Mrs. English
left Baraboo the latter part of DC
tober and writes that she is very
pleasantly located in the east.
Among other things. she says:
New Years came in with one Of
our rare snow storms which the
children here enjoy so much.
CAS- it was a National holiday
very little was done in the way of
removal and as the storm continu-
ed through the night, by morning
traffic was badly tied up, driving
almost impossible and walking very
difficult. No law requires property
owners to clean their walks, SO in
front of many houses no effort has
been made to clear them.
1.-THE End found people struggling
on foot and in every way to get to
business and very few succeeded i'll
being on time.
Before the storm was over eight
inches of snow had fallen. The
car tracks we're cleared, still travel
by then was very congested and ex-
tremely slow. Even now on the
9TH conditions are still bad, with
only a few blocks cleared. Old
Sol has been doing something and
good deal of water stands around
convenient to step in. | am sure
that in no other city in the Union
would conditions have remained so
bad for a single day.
Washington is governed by con-
gress. A certain amount is ap-
propriated for the streets for the
year, and no deficit must be incur
red. Heavy snow falls are not
customary, so when they do occur
there is not the necessary equip
ment nor the money available to
handle the situation. Is not this
ridiculous position for our nation
al capital?
