work is not in contemplation. The Foot Guard do not use dynamite, 75's or poison gas, and the governor is not sufficient of a General Persh- ing to lead an expedition into the neighboring state to set it right. NO towns will be occupied and no neutral zones established.
 The Republican holds forth a pre- cedent for the Nutmeggers to follow if they have the courage or are lm- bued with an adventurous spirit It is pointed out that Canadian resent ment at the diversion of waters which nature intended should flow through St. Johns river through Canada has twice resulted in marauding parties within the last 20 years. One such expedition, angered at the diversion by Maine paper companies, which forced the waters to flow down the Penobscot, dynamited the dam on Chamberlain lake, which prevents water from flowing into Eagle lake, and thence through other lakes into the St. John.
 Even such a precedent will be scorned in Connecticut. We are strong believers in law and order, and the dynamiting of dams on the Swift and Ware rivers is not to our liking. Besides, such tactics are only momentarily successful. The dams usually are repaired and the situ- ation returns to what it was previous to the marauding expedition.
 The thing for Connecticut to do is to make treaty with Massachu- setts settling the water diversion problem. X clause in the federal con- stitution permits this. Western states are trying to act under it relative to control of the waters of the Colo rado river. Connecticut and Massa- chusetts should find 1t easier to get together. The Foot Guard need never go to war over the matter, nor will Governor Trumbull ever need to di- rect hostilities from an aeroplane.

TERMINALS FOR TROLLENS
 AND BV SSES

From time to time we have called attention to the advisability of hay ing a street car and bus terminal in the downtown section of the city instead of permitting the trolley cars and busses to park upon valuable street space.
 There have been no signs of action upon the suggestion, which is not surprising considering the prevailing attitude not to enforce "unneces- sary" expense upon the hard-pressed transportation concerns,
 In the case of the taxis the official attitude was different. They were not allowed To park on city streets but must have their own stands. This was a proper conclusion by the city; but consistency would demand that the trolley and bus interests were treated somewhat similar, Tn the interest Of the public, the best interests of the concerns themselves, and the improved condition of the downtown thoroughfarcs which would result
 It is being done, too. Glimpsing a middle western newspaper we came upon this in tcrcsting item:
 A combined bus terminal and railway station is to he built at lith and Franklin streets in Michigan City construction to begin within three weeks, it was announced today in Michigan City.
 The terminal will be used by the Shore I..as Motor Coach company

SENATOR JONES HOLDS
PRESIDENT WILL NOT RUN
Says Chief Executive Would Not
Accept Nomination if Offered
Unanimously.

By the Associated Press.
The opinion that President Coolidge
would not accept the Republican
nomination again even if rendered to
him unanimously was expressed to-
day by Senator Jones. Republican, of
Washington. an administration leader.
With Mr.. Coolidge out of the race,
Senator Jones said Secretary Hoover
and Vice President Dawes were the
leading candidates in the West, and
he expresses favor toward both.
There was feeling. he said. that the
nomination might go to a Middle West
candidate rather than to one from the
Pacific Coast. and in this event he
thought Mr.. Dawes would be chosen.
Washington. however. seems to favor
Mr.. Hoover. Senator Jones said.

Friends Of Rev. Jason Noble Pierce.
pastor of the First Congregational
Church, which President and Mrs.
Coolidge attend, have started move
ment to have DR.. Pierce elected by the
Senate as chaplain to fill the vacancy
caused by the recent death of Rev. j.
J. Muir.
Queried on the matter today DR..
Pierce said that he understood such
movement was on foot, but that he
was in no sense a candidate. He did
not indicate, however, that he would
take any steps to discourage his
friends. saying that the position was
one of honor and importance and one
which any clergyman would be glad
to occupy.
According to the. Senate caucus com.
mittee. more than half a dozen local
ministers are seeking the position. 1t
is known also that numerous Senators
are receiving letters from ministers
in their home States urging support
for their respective candidates..
1t was pointed out today that the
Senate has never had a CongreSa-

Representatives has only had one and
that he served more than 60 years
ago.

days from the Gath day of October,
1927, has been forwarded to me for
decision in accordance with the pro-
visions of section 3, sUb-paragraph +,
of said act.
After reviewing the facts in your
case, it Is my decision that this sus-
pension should terminate on the 25th
day of November, 1927, and after that
date, your authority to act as a licensed
pilot will be restored.
Fine Is Reduced.
"Also, in accordance with your re-
quest, the same evidence has been
considered by me on the question of
the mitigation or remission of the
civil penalty to which you subjected
yourself by reason of violation of the
air traffic rules on the thirteenth day
of October, 1927. This is hereby nit
igated to the sum of $25.
Dukes statement follows:
while / have not had an OppOrtun-
ity TO consider it carefully, the decis-
ion Of Secretary Hoover seems to be
moral victory for my client, mas
much as his license as an air pilot is
returned Immediately and the penalty
of $500 is reduced to $25. The sus-
pension was for three months.
However. this young aviator has
been deprived of his license by the
suspension since October "a, which has
already cost him about $4l5 in loss of
pay. besides the expenses of the hear

Would Close Case.
Secretary Hoover evidently meant
by the third paragraph OF his decision
that he presumed my client desired
mitigation or remission of the civil
penalty, as we have always adopted
the position that even if the Depart
emnt of Commerce had jurisdiction in
the case my client was not guilty I'M
der the regulations.
The necessity for presenting the
matter to the Supreme Court Of the
District of Columbia for an injunction
is no longer necessary in view Of the
ending of the suspension, and l do
not know that my client will desire
to spend the large amount necessary
in fighting further, in view of the
fact that he can pay the small pen

May Favor Spillways.

The Senator expressed belief that
there is general feeling also that
some spillWays will have to be pro-
vided. AS to the engineering details
of controlling the Mississippi
against another devastating flood
Senator Jones said he would be
guided by the recommendation of the
Government experts unless good rea
sons can he shown why some other
plan should be followed
The chairman of the commerce com
mittee anticipates that the problem of
the future of the American merchant
marine will be a live question at the
coming session, although he was not
ready to say what legislation will be
offered.
Senator Jones has in mind two
amendments to the Senate rules,
which he plans to introduce. designed
to expedite transaction of business.
one thought he has is n rule to re-
strict debate to the matter before
the Senate and the other is pro.
posed rule somewhat along the lines
Of custom already followed by the
Senate occasionally Of limiting debate
after a question has been before the
Senate for q certain number of days.
Senator Jones believes that if there
was rule combining debate to the
question under consideration it would
not be necessary to invoke it except
when it became apparent that debate
was being prolonged merely to prevent
u vote.
