ARGUE PADL0CKING CASE
BEFORE SUPREME COURT

By the Associated Press.
The question whether a landlord
can prevent the padlocking Of his
premises by evicting a tenant charged
with violating the Federal prohibition
law was argued in the Supreme Court
yesterday in case from Detroit in
which the Circuit Court Of Appeals
asked instructions.
The premises were owned by John
A. Grosfield and Richard Caplis and
leased to wholesale grocer. The
landlords ousted the tenant upon
learning that he had violated the pro-
hibition law, but nevertheless the Fed
eral District Court issued a paddock
injunction.
The Government contended yester.
day that it was in the discretion of
the courts to apply a paddock when it
appeared there was still danger of q
nuisance being set up by subsequent
tenant.
Members of the court. inquiring into
the practical application of the uues.
ton. suggested that If it should be
neld that a paddock could not be an.
pied under such circumstances land.
lords would be in a position to per.
petuate the nuisance of changing ten.
ants as rapidly as violations of the
law were discovered.

Av|ATORS SOUGHT
IN QUEBEC W|LDS
Wreckage of Counts Plane
Found on Shores of Lower
ST. Lawrence River.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
QUEBEC, October ga search
for Count Jacques de Lesseps, vet
eran airman, missing with his me-
chanic since Tuesday, when they
took off on a 75-mile aerial survey
flight. was directed today along the
heavily wooded shores of the lower
ST. Lawrence, after discovery OF
wreckage of their plane at Matane
and Sandy Bay.
The finding of plane parts scattered
on the beach served as some con-
firmation of the view that the airmen.
unhead from after their take-off from
Gaspe for Val Brilliant. had been
forced down by the storm that ragged
since their departure.
Both flyers carried life preservers,
and it was believed possible that they
had managed to reach shore at some
point almost inaccessible of approach
by the usual means of communication.
Airplanes kept a wider lookout. and
both banks of the st. Lawrence were
surveyed.
Count de Lesseps is son of Fer
dinand de Lesseps, builder Of the Suez
Canal and head of the unsuccessful
French Panama Canal project. His
wife resides in Toronto with their
four children.
The De Lesseps romance dates back
some 20 years to the early days of
aviation. At one of the first aviation
meets in Canada, held near Toronto,
Count de Lesseps, one Of the most In
trepid Of the aviators at the field,
met his future wife, then Miss Grace
Mackenzie, daughter Of Sir William
and Lady Mackenzie.

BOARD WILL PASS
ON ONTRAFF|CL|GHTS
HarIand Program Submitted
to Utilities Body for
Consideration.

The District Commissioners have re-
ferred to the Public Utilities Commits
sion for study and report the traf1c
light installation program or Tra1nC
Director William II. Harland, it was
learned today at the District Building.
Because certain of the proposed in
stallations would have vital effect
on street car and motor bus opera
tionS, the Commissioners, it was said,
are anxious to obtain the view of the
commission before taking action on
the program.
Early Action Expected.
The commission probably will make
it's report to the Commissioners some
time next week, and early action is
expected, as the available funds for
the purchase of lights will either have
to be spent or obligated by the close
OF the current calendar year, other
wise they will revert back to the
Treasury.
Mr.. Harland said that he is prepared
to proceed with the installations as
soon as the Commissioners approve
his program. Specifications for the
lights and all other details preliminary
to the award for the contract have
been completed.
Expenditure Attacked.
While the Utilities Commission has
not indicated the position it will take
in regard to the traffic light installa
tions, Capt. r. G. Klotz, it's chief en-
gineer, who has made study of the
program, said that in his opinion the
expenditure contemplated for auto
matte signals is not justified under
existing traffic conditions
Capt. klotZ said that several of the
isolated installations proposed by Mr.
Harand undoubtedly would improve
conditions at intersections where
boulevard highways cross street cal
tracks, as at Seventh street an(
Rhode Island avenue. but any blanket
installation should be made in the
downtown congested section, where
the flow of traffic is balanced in al
directions and where the movement
Of vehicles and street cars could be
synchroniZed.

HELD KEY TO PEACE
Steed Says 0utIaWing of All
Wars Depends on Two
Nations Relations.
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 22.-Closely
knit relations Of peace between Great
Britain and the United States must be
the foundation for the worlds out
lawry of war, II. Wickham Steed.
owner and editor Of the London Re
view of Reviews, declared last night
at dinner given in his honor by the
World Alliance tor international
Peace.
Obligations incurred by Great
Britain as a signatory to the League
Of Nations covenant, but evaded by
the United States in its refusal to join
the League, need be no bar to a moral
alliance between the two nations, he
said, If this nation would but establish
the doctrine that 1t never would aban-
don it's place as second to none among
the peace-loving nations of the world
Never before in the worlds his
tory" he said, has sympathetic un-
derstanding among nations been more
necessary than it is today. 1t may be
dangerous and deplorable fallacy to
assume that because physical dis
tances are being reduced the nations
people are automatically approaching
an ideal condition Of brotherhood.
Mr.. Steed reaffirmed his disagree
ment with the British debt policy, de-
claring that the policy as laid down
in Lord Balfour's note of 1922 had
brought sharp criticism upon the
British government. Though short.
sighted, he maintained. the policy in
no way deferred Britain from her pur.
pose to shoulder her debt burden. 1--WE
borrowed" he said, I'VE promised to
pay, and we will pay"
Other speakers were DR.. Joseph w.
Cochran, pastor of the American
Church in Paris. and DIR. Henry A
Atkinson, secretary Of the Church

"A great peace movement Is in
progress in European schools" DR..
Cochran said. 1--WE can cooperate
through non.political contacts. World
acquaintance is the key to world
peace"
