MYSTERY SURROUNDS
 RUM.FLYING ARREST
Names of Prisoners and Amount of Cargo Withheld--Suspects
 Held On Cutter

New York, April i.--Federal of fcials refused last night to give any information regarding the Lorraine II, an alleged 'rum-fiying' seaplane captured off the New Jersey coast Monday. The number of men arrest ed, or their names. could not be learned. These men were not brought to the city. for arraignment, as Is customary. but were said to be held in custody aboard the coast guard cutter Mojave.
 The Mojave made the capture, il was said, as a result of a radio mes- sage. The Lorraine II Is a Curtis plane, painted like a United States navy machine. It has two forward hatches in which liquor was re. ported to have been hidden. Motor boats lowed the plane to a Brook. lyn pier today. In August. 1928, ar airplane belonging to Thomas Ham. burger of Bayport. L. l., was cap tured at Blue Point, L. l., under similar circumstances.

May Take Sam Brown
 Belts From Policemen

Washington, April 1.-The de- partment of justice wants to elim- mate the popular Sam Brown belt from the uniforms of state consta- bularies, patrols and police, and hold 1t exclusively for officers of regu- larly established federal military or- ganizations. Attorney General sar- gent said yesterday that authorities of some states already had agreed to order elimination of the belt from regulation equipment in their state organizations.
 Mir. Sargent warned that federal statutes prohibit the wearing by a civilian of any piece of equipment or insignia prescribed for federal military forces, including National Guard troops.

 COURT VERDICT
Get Judgment for Si7,@0 Net
 Against Texas Man

Houston, Texas. April 1.-The Ku klux klan has been awarded a yer dict 0f sl7,000, net, against George B. Kimbro, Jr., by a jury in the dis trict court here. ....
 The jury gave the klan s1s.29o.5O under the instructed verdict. cover ing sums which the Klan proved by cancelled checks that Kimbro had received from certain states of his domain.
 The Klan also was given q verdict of s7.920 under the second special issue of the courts charge, which permitted the jury to fiHd for the plaintiff as much additional as it thought proper, up to about SIP,
 As offsets, the jury allowed Kim bro $1,6l5 for expenses and salaries claimed under a verbal contract which Kimbro said he made with F. '. Clarke, former imperial wizard of the Klan, and s2,000 under another similar contract.
 Kimbro originally had another counter claim for s500,eOO damages for alleged conspiracy by Klan off cials to defame him, but this was ruled out by Judge Ewing Boyd last week when he sustained a motion for an instructed verdict that there was no evidence of the alleged conspir- acy on which the claim was based.

BAD BREATH
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets Get at the Cause and Remove It

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. the sub stitute for caloHael, act gently on the bowels and positively do the work.
 People afflicted with bad breath find quick relief through Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar coated tablets are taken for bad breath by all who know them.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets act gen. tly but firmly on the bowels and liver, stimulating them to natural action, clearing the blood and gently purifying the entire system. They do that which dangerous calomel does without any of the bad after effects.
 All the benefits of nasty, sickening, griping catharticS are derived from Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets without griping, pain or any disagreeable effects.
 Dr. F. M. Edwards discovered the formula after seventeen years of prac- tice among patients afflicted with bowel and liver complaint, with the attendant bad breath.
 Olive Tablets are purely vegetable compound mixed with olive oil; you will know them by their olive color Take one or two every night for a week and note the effect. l5c and 30c.

COME ON F|SHIN,
 THIS IS APRIL 1
Trout n EVerythin' Just
 Anxious to Be Hooked

Many an anxious adult eye re, sponded at an unusually early houi this morning tothe raucouscall u an alarm clock and peeked through the most convenient opening that would afford glimpse of the great outdoors in order to size up the weather and determine whether rain or sunshine was the order of the day. Many a man, grim and de- termined in business, of few diver sions, perhaps, and many responsl- bilities, started In last night to turn back the hands of time to his boy hood barefoot days. Many a busi- ness problem was shelved for the time, while thoughts and ambitions ran into new stream. Why? Be cause today is the first of April. Not because April 1 Is April Fools day, but because it marks the opening Of the trout fishing season in the state of Connecticut. And 1t Is surprising, the number who look forward to that time of the year, even while they are shoveling feet of snow off the front walk or tons of coal into the furnace.
 Be the fisherman possessed Of the finest split bamboo rod with line and reel of intricate and delicate make, or nothing but a hickory stick with a length of store string on a com mon eyed hook 1t makes little diff ference as to the amount of enjoy ment to be gained from day In the open along favorlte stream. Be the string at the end of the day the limit of big fellows or a few just over the legal six inches, the joy Of fishing has been experienced. The thrill of expectation as the humble worm or the gorgeous fly goes into a pool where a big one has been seen, this year, or last, or ages ago. is as 1t was before and always shall be. What matters 1t If only a sun fish or a dace responds to the fisher mans wiles-the big fellow is still there and waiting to be caught and the awakening trees, the brook alive with the promise of spring, the bashful birds hunting their future homes along the banks and in the shrubs-all Of them have contribut- ed to the pleasure of the day. Ar rayed in hip, boots, clothed in water proof clothing the fisher stands on the bank or in the waters of his favorite brook. Tn his mind, quite probably, there exists a feeling that he is equipped in nothing but a pair of ragged pants and cotton shirt he fears parental retribution when he returns to his home because of a neglected wood-pile, the two and a half ounce rod to his selt-hypnosis is again the worped and ugly alder switch. He is a boy again, he has realized the wish so ably expressed Turn backward, turn backward, oh time in thy flight and make me 6 boy again, just for tonight.
 The streams, according to the e1- perts, are at an extremely good pitch for good fishing at this time of the year. There is every indt- cation that today will bring many bags of good trout to this city. The efforts of the state fish and game commission in stocking various brooks about the country are mak- ing themselves felt and there are more trout than of late years, at least, awaiting the skilful fisherman. Every condition points to good Ash ing and

ATTRACTIVE
Many Pretty Houses Erected
In FairIaWn, Just Across
Anacostia Bridge

With the rapid growth of Wash
ington, builders here are now TAX
ing advantage Of all available land
to supply the ever-increasing de-
mand for. attractive new homes.
One section that is now feeling
the expansion of the city and is
fast becoming a community of at
tractive new homes Is Fairlawn,
located between the Pennsylvania
avenue and Eleventh street bridges
in Anacostia.
For many years this section has
been partly built up by houses of
frame construction, erected long be-
fore the present rapid but steady
growth of the city began.
Upbuilding Of this section was
given it's first impetus when the
United States Government bought
the land along the shore of the
Anacostia river and announced that
the ground would be turned into a
park.
Engineers Of the. Government
soon after built a wall along the
shore, graded the ground back OF
it and started landscaping the park.
Landscaping has now been COM
in front OF Fairlawn. The work
Of identifying the other sections
Of the park will be completed as
soon as possible.
Realizing that athletic facilities

a park, the Government is now pro-
viding the equipment for all sorts
Of athletics In the section Of the
mark In front of Eairl4wn
Among the things already com.
pleted are five tennis courts, a
baseball diamond, a football field
and part Of the equipment for
track events. Construction Of a
large clubhouse has already been
started and is nearing completion.
Other features planned for the
park are q splendid automobile
drive, auto parking space, two
swimming pools, children's play
grounds, additional tennis courts,
equipment for all track events,
bowling green and various other
recreationa1 facilities.
Shortly after the park program
was announced development of
Fairlawn by local builders and real
estate men was begun sand the
public was quick to see the adj
vantages of a home community
there.
One Of the first local builders
to see the opportunity was w. M.
Ward, who has far outdistanced
his competitors in building up this
desirable section.
His operations have already in
cluded more than a hundred homes,
