Memorial Day in washington
upon completion OF the Arlington
Memorial Bridge, three years from

attended by ceremonies which VIII
attract visitors from all parts Of
the nation. 1t was indicated today.
According to tentative plans now
being formulated, the day will De
observed with ceremonies as Inn"
pressive as those accompanying the
interment of the Unknown Soldier.
Picked military organizat lOns
from all parts of the nation arc ex-
pected to take part In the cere.
monies, including solemn process
sion from the Capitol across the
new bridge to Arlington Cemetery
and impressive services In the
Arlington Amphitheater, in which
the leaders of the nation will take
part.
Entrance to Be- Dedicated.
It IL probable that the magnifi-
cent memorial entrance to Airing.
ton Cemetery, to be constructed ~
q. portion of the bridge project, Will
be dedicated on the first Memorial
Day following its completion,
One of the principal aims OF de-
signers Of the bridge was to give
an adequate and impressive line OF
communication between the Capitol
and the cemetery, where the hon.
ored dead OF the nation rest.
The Arlington Memorial entrance
Ii to be one Of the most impressive
in the world. It will be of unique
design, being composed OF q greaf
circular plaza, the rear of which
will be cut back into the side OF
the heights leading up to the Lee
Mansion.
On the arc CT the great circle,
back against the hillside, will be
q beautiful white granite retaining
wall rising to height Of thirty feet.
In the face of this wall will be
inches for statues OF q memorial
character.
Broad Road to Cemetery.
From either eide of the plaza, be.
ginning at the foot of the ssrni-
circular wall, broad roadways viii
lead into the cemetery, one to the
amphitheater, the other to the Lee
mansion.
Al broad double highway, divided
by q parkway thickly planted with
lockwood and cypress and guarded
on either side by many impressive
sculptural pieces, will lead from
the bridge to the memorial entrance.
Completion of the bridge viii
make possible Memorial Day pro.
cessions directly into the cemetery
which are now virtually impossible
because Of the great distance and
the narrow roundabout roads which
must be followed.
The distance from the Lincoln
Memorial to Arlington across. the
new bridge will be about the same
az from the Capitol to the White
House. The construction of the
plaza entrance to Arlington win per-
NIT the disbanding of the parades
there or viii permit the entrance to
the cemetery by either Of two
routes or by both routes In the case
OF very long professions.

FLARE-UP OF
!. SENATE ANTS
THREATENS
IrreconciIables Question Le-
gaIity of Agreement
Signed in Paris
By GEORGE r. HOLMES,
International News Service.

International News Service.
A controversy that goes to the
very root Of constitutional interpre-
tation was threatened in the Senate
today over the Paris agreement me-
gotiated by Ambassador Kellogg.
wherein the United States becomes
an official partner in the Dawes
plan in exchange for IN per cent
of the money that the plan ex-
tracts from Germany.
For the first time since the pres
ent flare-up over the Kellogg agree
ment. irreconcilable Senators were
inclined today to seriously question
the authority of the President and
the Secretary Of State to negotiate
such pact without consulting
the Senate or submitting it to the
Senate for ratification.
To Get Full Airing.
There has been no move. in this
direction yet, nor will there be
until Secretary Hughes complies
with the Johnson resolution for
demanding full information" con
corning the agreement and Amer
ica's commitments hereunder. But
1t was declared in the cloakroOms
today that unless this Forthcoming
explanation" is satisfactory to the
Senators concerned the matter will
get a full airing on the Senate
floor.
While recognizing that it is the
constitutional right of the execu'
tive branch to settle claims, it was
nevertheless pointed out by the
irreconcilables today that in mat.
ters affecting the pocketbook OF
the American taxpayer Congress
has made it's voice heard
Senator Moses, in charge of the
blk predicted it's passage within
ten days. 1t will then go to the
House, where it must be given the
same consideration as new legisla-
ton.
In the collection Of war debts, for
instance, the irreconcilables pointed
out that Congress set up a collection
commission and stipulated not only
who should go on the commission.
but also that any settlements az
rived at would have to be ratified by
the Senate. That has already been
done in the British, Polish and other
funded debts. Now they are in
clined to hold that the collection of
moneys from Germany Is not materi-
ally different, In that half of the
sum involved was incurred by Amer
lean military occupation of the
Rhine and thus came out Of the
United States Treasury.

D. c. Judges Are to Blame,
Cong. Stalker Tells Coolidge
: at Conference

Scoring District of Columbia
judges who impose small penalties
for violation of the liquor laws,
Congressman Stalker Of New
York, called upon President Cool
idge today to urge more rigid
enforcement Of the Volstead law.
IN his statement to President
Coolidge, Congressman Stalker
used washington as an. example
Of how the prohibition law was
falling into contempt because Of
lax enforcement and the nominal
punishment meted out to violators
of the law. g
Making Joke Of Law
"A small money fine is u weak
deterrent to liquor law violators. F"
said Congressman Stalker. MANY
judges are taking advantage of the
fact that there is no minimum
penalty in the law and are irnpos-
ing ridiculously low fines, which
tend to make the law a joke in
these communities.
"In 1922 the average fine for
violation of the prohibition act in
the District was $42.67.
In 1923 it was $79.43. The
average fine in the District Is much
less than for the United States.
which was $170 in 1923.
It is much less than a liquor IL
cense used to cost. Much of the
court docket congestion would be
eliminated If heavier penalties were
imposed. In the jurisdictions where
the judges are imposing heavy
penalties there is greater respect
for the law"
Bill Has Teeth
Congressman Stalker sponsors a
bill in Congress which not only
provides for minimum fines for VIC
iation of liquor laws. but also jail
sentences for offenses that are re-
peated.
President Coolidge is understood
to be opposed to Jail sentences for
minor infractions of the prohibition
law.

VI /. WHITING IS
SLATED FOR
j. S. POST
Coolidge Looking for Suitable
Place Here for One of His
Closest Friends
By WILLIAM HARD.

A new possibility for public
honors was catapulted into the
national scene today when it be-
came known that consideration for
a place in Washington had been
given by President Coolidge to
William T. Whiting. of Massa-
chusetts.
It was with large reason thought
that if cabinet place should be-
come vacant, Whiting would be
most seriously considered for it.
The only cabinet place now
Immediately vacant is that Of
the Secretaryship of Agriculture.
Other places, however, it was
thought, might become vacant in
time.
Is Trusted Friend
Mr.. Whiting, it was found. al.
though he virtually never has been
mentioned in association with Presi.
dent Coolidge, is one Of President
Coolidge's nearest and most trusted
friends.
He was called to Washington not
long ago and had a conference with
the President in the course Of
which it is believed that the finding
of a place in Washington for him
was most seriously discussed and
analysed.
If Mr.. Whiting should get a place
in the Cabinet, he would be the
first Coolidge Cabinet sappointee
from the ranks of Mr.. Coolidge's
strong, intimate personal friends.
The other appointees to date
namely, Mr.. Wilbur to the Navy
Department, and Mr.. Stone and
Mr.. Warren to the Department of
Justice, and Mr.. Kellogg to the
State Department-have not been
from among Mr.. Coolidge's own
personal original friends and fol-
lowers.
First Personal Choice.
Mr.. Whiting, IL a place is found
for him, will be the first outright
personal Coolidge Cabinet choice.
There is no doubt whatsoever that
a strong effort to find such a
place for him, or to find some
other equivalent place, is vigor-
ously under way. Mr.. Whiting is
likely soon to be added to Mr..
Stearns, Of Massachusetts,, and to
Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts as a
leading member of the strictly
Coolidge contingent in Washing.

Judge Charles NJ. Egan today dis
missed the jury in the Hudson
county liquor cases heard the
evidence in the case of ten police
men and two civilians, when the
jury reported at 10 o'clock that it
was hopelessIy divided.
The jury reported at 10 q. nns
today. The Judge. who had been
delayed in reaching court, arrived
shortly before the jurors filed
into the room. They had been
out since 3:07 p. m. yesterday
and appeared to be tired.
Foreman Reports.
Gentlemen, have you reached

Henry A. Lauenstein, OF Bayonne,

replied. 1--WE have disagreed for
fifteen hours and we cannot reach a

''Then, under the circumstances,
and in view OF your sincerity, /
am compelled to discharge you

balance of the term of this court,
the judge said.
It was understood that the jury
stood to 3 for conviction when
dismissed. The first vote, 1t was
said, was to for conviction; an
hour later Il switched to to 3
and remained thus until they finally
DECIDED they were hopelessly dead

Defendants Relieved.
The defendants in the main
seemed to accept the disagreement
as they would have a verdict of nc
quittal. Every one of the ten
police in uniform broke into smiles
as did Stearns.

clear that he was speaking only hi

WHAT'S YOUR HURRY?

Governor Hunt in his Douglas address on Sat
urday calls halt on the whole business OF devel-
oping the Colorado river. "a great furore is be-
ing raised-largely as a smoke screen to becloud
the questions at issue-over the development Of
the Colorado river at this time. So far as Arl-
zona is concerned, there is no mperative pressing
need for the development of the river at the
present time" says the governor
We had suspected from the outset OF the Colo
rado controversy that the governor was not dis
posed to rush things and take the development OF
the river out of the hands OF posterity, which now
in circumstances over which it has no control, is
unable to be present and be heard. The governor
and others, we remember two years ago consti-
tuted themselves board of trustees for poster1ty
and regarded the Colorado as a sacred trust and
not an asset.
A little later these trustees seemed disposed to
view differently this self-assumed trust and they
set about the immediate development of the river
in violation of the trust, the laws of natures and
as some engineers suspect the law of gravltatlon
Posterity be hanged! Let the river be damned and
acres.
The governor never by word indicated that
he was averse to this proposal of postertys trus-
tees. Some suspected though that he had become
Indifferent to the plans of the board and we can
only gather from his remarks at Douglas that ne
has again put himself on the side OF posterity
The governor we suspect, feels that he has
common interest, though not similar, with pos
terity in preserving the status quo of the river
against the High Liners, the designs of the
thirsty Californians and the grasping private
power companies.
In the opinion of the governor the undeveloped
river is a political asset of which he may make
use with Incidental advantage to posterity.
The governor and posterity have never met AND
they will never meet but some time posterity will
come on and learn what a champion it had-Ari-
zona Republican.
