Charges of Non-Support.
He Asks Divorce

Denying charges Of non-support,
made against him by his wife.
Mrs. Lolo J. Brodigan, 49S G street

for maintenance, Frank L. BrodfN
gan, 1911 Sixth street southwest,
has filed his answer and a cross
bill to her complaint in the District
Supreme Court, alleging desertion
and asking for a limited divorce
and the custody OF their infant
child.
Brodigan says that he had often
made attempts to get his wife to
live with him but that she refused,
telling him that she could not re-
turn to him unless he made $500
a month. Brodigan claims that his
wife, "for more than two years
past has been accepting the at
tentions of a man who is married
and has a wife and children living
with him and has accepted money
and very costly presents from him.
The husband declares that this
man lives in Alexandria, where
plaintiff resides, and that he fire.
quently visits her there. Brodigan
says that he warned this man to
keep away from his wife and on
one occasion chased him into the
Fourth police precinct station where
he sought protection.
The defendant, represented by
Attorneys Hegarty and Mooers,
says that his wife is living in
Alexandria for the purpose of
bringing suit against him in the
Virginia courts and has lost her
right to appeal in the District
courts and is without justification
in the premises.

ARMY "RED TAPE" HOLDS
YOUNG SOLDIER PRISONER

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. March 21.-
Though the War Department
agreed two days ago to release
from the guard house at Camp
Meade Albert Guy Tayman, the
young soldier who was arrested
last Friday while at work in the
Chance Shipbuilding Company here,
his parents. Mr. and Mrs. John f.
Tayman, of this city, are still
awaiting his return.
Apparently army "red tape" is
keeping him in confinement,
though the department admits 1t
has nothing definite against him.
A search which followed the
visit of the father to the War De
partment revealed that the records
are silent as to how young Tay-
man left the service, but contain
no contradiction Of the story OF
young Tayman that he was dis
charged at Camp Mcclellan Ala.
in February. 1919.
A letter from the department to
the elder Tayman states that the
accounts of the soldier are being
looked up. but meanwhile he will;
be released in his parents custody.
They are confident their sons story
is correct and that nothing further
will be heard OF the matter.

NEW YORK, March 21.-More
fortunate youngsters rode newly

308 East 1880 street, but four-year-
old Arthur Suchvolsky, in whose
home pennies have been scarce

and stare at them.
One of the spendthrift equestrians
waved a hand at the wistful little
figure. Arthur took a gesture for
invitation and reached upward with
both arms. One hand caught in
the wire netting revolving with the
platform and Arthur was hauled up
over the wheel of the wagon as the
platform turned and jammed be-

of the wagon seat.
Arthur was dead when an am.

Alexandria Warns Potomac
Not to Send Prisoners
to Its Jail

ALEXANDRIA, Va, March 21.-
The town Of Potomac viii be re-
quested today to discontinue the
practice Of bringing persons ar.
rested there to the Alexandria
police station, it was stated this
morning by Mayor William A.
Smoot, OF this city. This action Is
the result of a controversy between
the two towns following a commu.
nication of last Tuesday from
Mayor Smoot to Mayor r. ].
Yates, of Potomac, protesting the
posting Of the Alexandria Washing
ton river road with signs regulating
the speed of motorists to eighteen
miles hour on that portion OF
the road which borders the town Of
Potomac. The protest was made,
according to Mayor Smoot, because
the large number of motorists ar
rested by Potomac officials for
speeding on this stretch, when
brought to the Alexandria police
station, were invariably given the
impression that they had been ar
rested by officers Of the city of
<AlCAdHOTld.
A touch Of sarcasm was sounded
In Mayor Yates letter to Mayor
Smoot today when the former ad-
vised Smoot. Every person ar.
rested by our officers is informed
Of the fact that he is under arrest
by an officer Of the town Of
Potomac and such officers are pro-
vided with badges identifying them,
and unless temporarily deprived of
their normal faculties by indulgence
in Intoxicating liquors, know per-
fectly well that your city officials
have nothing to do with their
arrest"
Notwithstanding Mayor Yates
declarations, Mayor Smoot reiterated
today that the big majority of
motorists arrested on the stretch
Of concrete road near Potomac and
being taken to Alexandria for trial,
believe themselves apprehended by
Alexandria officers.
Mayor Smoot said that in the
past three months q total of 1900
collateral has been posted by motor.

FRANCE BLOCKS
ARMAMENT
PARLEY
Officials Here Admit Paris
Hostility is Holding up
Coolidge Call
By GEORGE r.. HOLMES.

France is still proving tho
stumbling block in the efforts Of
President Coolidge, and the Baldwin
ministry Of Britain toward the
staging of a second arms confer
ence in Washington next fall or
winter, 1t was admitted TO-DAY }Dy
Administration officials.
Some days have elapsed since
President Coolidge publicly pro-
claimed American willingness to In
vite the powers to Washington Tor
another arms-reducing parley, AMI
in that time the reactions Of this
world capitals have been carefully
noted. France alone, Of all the
world powers directly concerned,
has been cold 10 the proposition.
The Partisan press, which Is taken
here to reflect the attitude CT the
French government, has been down
right hostile.
French objections to again com
ing to Washington are based pri.
marily on two grounds:
Basis Of Objections.
I. A belief that a second arms
conference would inevitably result
in limitations being placed on air.
craft and submarines, two arms
which France is now energeticaIly
engaged in strengthening to offset
British, American and Japanese
supremacy.
3. Unwillingness to submit to fur
ther armament, restriction Of any
kind without an accompanying pact
by which the other world powers,
including the United States, guar
antee her security and present bor-
derS.
This security pact was 4 part OF
the French-promoted plan by which
the League Of Nations was going
to stage a disarmament conference.
1t has now collapsed through Brit

French alliance. And 1t was the
collapse Of the Geneva scheme that
prompted President Coolidge sever
al weeks ago to state publicly that

America to take the lead In prompt
ing another conference.
May Be Seeking 'sTrade." "
Whether French objections can
be overcome remains to be seen,
but it was readily admitted In Adj
ministration circles today that the
outlook is not reassurinE for an
other arms conference here next
winter.
There is also a well defined sus-
picion on the part Of American Of
ficials that France is Withholding
her assent to another conference
in the hope that some sort Of a
trade" might be arranged under
which the United States and Britain
would agree to scale down Ter war
debts.
So far as this government is
concerned, it was said to-day. no
such concession could be made up-
der any circumstances.

LORD FRENCH'S CONDITION
CAUSES DOCTORS ANXIETY

LONDON, March 21.-The condi-
ton of the Earl of Ypres, who was
operated upon two days ago was
still causing anxiety today. His
physicians announced the patient
had passed bad night.
During the war the earl, as Lord
French, was field marshal Of the
British army.
The Washington times., 1925-03-21


his best he is a kind OF combina-
ton of Reed and Walsh.
With him, as is not so much the
case with either Raed or Walsh, the
art Of debate is a conscious, studied
professional art. Borah can tell you
which speeches he thinks were the
best speeches ever made in the
British House of Commons. He can
compare Edmund Burke with Will
liam Pitt and William Pitt with
Charles James Fox. He can con.
trast the debating merits of the
Americans who debated in our Con.
stitutional Convention Of 1887.
'Senate's ErrOrIess Debate.
Being a student Of debate ne has
become what might be called the
errorless debator of the Senate. He
Is never as rough as Reed some.
times is. fIe is never in tons as
remorseless az Walsh sometimes is.
He debated the League of Nations
for month after month against the
policies of Woodrow Wilson without
ever indulging himself in any per-
sonalities against Woodrow Wilson.
He kept the regard of his Demo.
cratic colleagues even while he was
overturntng their favorite project.
He Is the debater debonair, the
debater in steady training and in
perfect trim, the debater so sure OF
his skill with his sword and with
his net that he disdains to make a
motion not full of grace and not in
perfect harmony with every rule OF
the game.
When to this perfection of style
he happens to add q deep moral
conviction that gives him winged
words as well as perfect control OF
their flight, he presents to the Sen.
ate an oratorical spectacle which 1t
Is believed has never been surpassed
at any time in any age OF the
history of the Republic.
Three Strong Personalities.
The Senate is a place which te
largely dominated by the personal
audacities, the personal tenacities'
the general personal character,
whether for power or for weakness
Of Senator compared with Senator.
If six certain Senators who voted
for Mr.. Warren had declared them
selves against him, but IL Borah
and Reed and Walsh had declared
themselves for him and had pro-
ceeded to debate on his behalf, they
would have converted the Senate
into confirming him.
What happened was In fact the
result of the personal qualities OF
Borah, Reed, Walsh. the three sen
atorial debating gladiators.

 The full significance of his inyen- ton was not realized, he said, and many uses now taken as ordinary were beyond their foresight, Some hopes and ambitions of the brothers have not becn realized, he said.
 'Its extensive uso in bombing ships. in destroying big junction points. in commercial work and mail service we did not fully realize, eMr, Wright said, i've could sec where the government might use planes for short hops into bad territory un- touched by railroads and where such roads could not be extended to carry mall. But VIC could not, and ncvr; thought of such thing as trans continental mail service on regula' i schedules"

Cilens Falls, N. r., Dec. IS R,- The bootleg trail from Canada-or what is left of it--has moved west ward to the lonely roads of the Adirondacks, and New York city bootleggers are bidding for the busi- ness once held by north country liquor importers whom the vigilance of enforcement agents, customs off cials and the state police has forced out of the trade.
 Such were the facts developed by reporters from this city invcGtigat- ing the gradual decrease of rum running automobiles along the roads Of eastern New York.
 The hazards encountered by boot lcggers in bringing their goods down from Canada along the old route, which touched Chestertown.

 Meanwhile, liquor salesmen work ing out of New York city are en- dcayoring 10 supply tho market in the eastern part of the state. Their Scotch and rye whiskeys, smuggled from the remnants of rum TOW or manufactured in the metropolis, can he sold at a lower price than that asked by the dealer who has run the gauntlet from the Canadian border.
