GENEVA AWAITS
 BR|T0NS' RETURN
Bridgenan and Cscil's Absence
 Delays Naval Farley .

Geneva, Switzerland, July 27 R- The American and Japanese dele gations to the tripartite naval re- duction conference sat down for an- other period of waiting today, be- ing without information from Lon don as to the precise nature of the terms which w.. c. Bridgeman and Viscount Cecil will bring back to Geneva.
 The British delegates went to London recently to lay before the cabinet the status of the Geneva ne- gotiations and receive further in- structions as to their future course. It was thought they would be back before now, and on hearing nothing from London the American delega- tion made inquiries. The reply came back that they would leave London Wednesday at the earliest"
 Americans are not favorably dis posed to the suggestion that the British might ask that the confer ence conflne itself to fixing the num- Der of 10,000-ton 1-inch gun bearing cruisers to be allotted to each of the three powers, leaving the questions of smaller cruisers mounting six inchers, and destroers and subma- rines until a later date, possibly 1881.
 The United States said one Amer ican delegate, came to Geneva with a definite programme of reduction all along the line and could not consent to such piecemeal solution without losing prestige before the eyes of the world.
 The hitherto prevailing 50-50 bet ting on the chances of treaty growing out of the present discus sions was changed slightly over night, veering toward a break. The Japanese alone among the three powers maintain there is still a chance of an agreement.

NAY CANCEL PLATES
 FOR EXCESS LOADS
Motor Vehicle Dept. to Act on :, Weight Law Violations

Hartford, July 27-Suspension of registration for violation of the Con- necticut laws prohibiting overload ing of trucks Is planned by the state motor vehicle department as a curb to the practice. Analysis is now being made of court convic- tions in every town in the state to discover which companies are fre- quently guilty of loading their vehi- cles beyond capacity.
 That some motor freight compan- ies do follow the practice of over loading every vehicle is indicated by complaints to the department from court officials and the police. It would appear that the policy of the violators is to pay whatever fines may be imposed rather than make a second trip or use two trucks for a particular load.
 In one case the owners paid the fine and reimbursed the driver for the time spent in court Another driver was discharged from the COuIpoAy 5 cuiploy DcSouSo Ao ~ fused to operate the overloaded ve- hicle. A representative of this com pany has been called before Com missioner Robbins B. Stoeckel and asked to explain his attitude. He has been warned that another violation will mean cancellation of it's trucks registrations.
 Overloaded trucks not only inflict heavy damage upon the surface of the highways, but are found to be a menace to traffic safety. The over strain on the brakes because of the overload often makes trucks unman- ageable.
 The most extreme case brought to the attention of the department was that of truck, carrying load of sev- en tons, when its maximum capaci- ty, as certified by the manufacturer, was two and one-half tons. Ere ouently, trucks are discovered with loads from 2.000 to 4,000 pounds above capacity. Particularly is this so when the company considers that its truck is old and the springs more or less collapsed and beyond repair.

 RESTORED TODAY
Maine Gives Them Back to
 Southland

Mackinac Island, Mich, July 27 CP-Symbolic of the new brother hood of American commonwealths" once torn by Civil war, was the ges- ture by which Governor Ralph o. Brewster of Maine returned to the southland six tattered battle flags once carried by the troops of six Confederate states of America.

 Twenty-two governors, representa- tives of four other states and 700 banquet guests were. silenced and eyes filled with tears when squad of marines bore in the Stars and Bars of Dixie's lost cause.
 There was the battle emblem of the Fist South Carolina volunteers, captured by the Maine infantry at Morris island, S. C.. the flag of the 3Srd Virginia captured by the 18th Maine infantry at Spottsylvania, Va. and four other flags. The four other emblems were taken by the 18th Maine volunteers at the capture of Fort Hemmes, Texas. by the 1st Maine at Aldie, Va, by the 5th Maine at Rappahannock station. Va, and another taken by the 18th Maine 1 in Texas.

FRENCH CABINET LAYS
 DOWN RULE FOR PLIERS
Win Not Sponsor Ocean Flights Unless Planes Are Equipped
 With PontOons.

Paris, July 27 R-The French cabinet today formally declared It. self against authorizing the propos- ed Paris-New York flight of Dieu- dome Coste, at the same time lay Ing down the principle that no such flights in military planes would be sanctioned unless the planes are equipped with pontoons for a safe descent in the sea.
 The question of pontoons for transatlantic planes assumed consid- erable importance some months ago during the flight of Captain Saint Roman and Mouneyres across the south Atlantic. Captain Saint Ro- man removed the pontoons from his plane while on the African coast and substituted ordinary landing gear. The French authorities then withdrew their sanction of the flight contending that removal of the pom toons made the transatlantic hop too hazardous.
 Captain Saint Roman, however, made the hopoff despite this. He and his companion have since teen missing and only recently portions of a plane which are believed to be part of the Saint Roman plane were found floating in the mouth of the Amazon.
 The recent three successful cross- ings of the north Atlantic by Ameri- can flie-s were accomplished in planes equipped with ordinary land ing gear. The crossing made by Commander Francesca De Pinedo by way of the Azores, however, was made in a regular seaplane.
