Two Organizations Notify
Association They viii Re-
move Their Signs.

Definite assurances from two well
known corporations that they would
stop advertising on billboards within
the metropolitan area Of washington
were received today by the American
Civic Association in reply to its appeal
to cooperate in the campaign to i'm
prove the appearances of the highway
approaches to the National Capital.
The two firms were the Chevy Chase
Dairy, 1906 NJ street, In this city, and
the Carvel Hall Hotel Corporation of
Annapolis, Md.
With these assurances Of co-opera-
ton, officers of the American Civic As
ISOLATION were hopeful that many other
users of billboards in the outlying dis
tricts of Maryland and Virginia would
welcome an opportunity to put them
selves in the privileged class of those
firms which refrain from advertising
on the landscape. Letters to all ad-
vertisers now using billboards within a
2O-mile radius of the District line were
sent out last week by the association.
Bloom Makes Appeal.
Representative Sol Bloom of New
York, associate director of the WASH
ington Bicentennial Commission, like
wise appealed to advertisers to discard
their billboards within 2-rnile radius
of the District line, an area which the
commission is endeavoring to Clean
up" before the 1882 celebration.
On behalf of the Chevy Chase Dairy,
John Fl Hardie of the advertising de-
partment wrote: Our existing con-
tracts expire with the current year
and for all time"
Continuing, he wrote: "Please be as
sured of our desire and determination
to cooperate in the movement for i'm
provement of the highway entrances
before the bicentennial celebration, in
1882. We wish you every success in
the constructive, capable and consider

NAVY MEN DECLINE
TO REINSTATE PAIR
Academy Heads Give Stand to
Senator's on Dismissing Boys Who
Took Girls to Dining Hall.

BY the Associated Press.
Naval Academy officials declined
today to take the responsibility for
reinstating the two midshipmen dis
missed last year for taking two girls

naval affairs subcommittee the disci-
pline they had meted out to Midship-
men M. S. Burgin of Jacksonville, Fla,
and L. L. Myatt of Wollaston, Mass.
The youths were present.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, MaSsachu-

luton, said questions by members of the
committee indicated they thought the
discipline was "a little too severe" in
view of the statement of the students
they considered the incident merely

The two boys were dismissed after
they had escorted two girls, dressed as
midshipmen, into the mess hall. They
ate the meal with the other students
and we're not discovered until they were

ONE SMALL HOPE HELD.
Trade Wind Crew May Be Isolated on
Seldom Visited Isle.

1rauc Wlnu OTeW way DC ASOAaScu On
Seldom Visited Isle.
HORTA, Island of Fayal, Azores, jan
uary IS (P).-One small hope was held
here today for Mrs. Beryl Hart, 27-
year-old widow, and Lieut.. William S.
MacLaren, who are missing after taking
off from Bermuda Saturday for Horta
in their monoplane, the Trade Wind.
This was that the flyers, hampered
in keeping to their course by bad visi-
bility and buffeted by northeast gale,
had reached one of the other nine
isolated islands which form the Azores
Archipelago.
The islands of Corvo and Flores are
100 miles west northwest of Horta;
Gracioss is 40 miles northeast and Santa
Maria is 100 miles southeast. None Of
these four islands has means of ready
communication with Fayal. A mail
steamer will call at Santa Maria and
Graciosa this week and at Corvo and
Flores at the end of the month. There
is no wireless on the Islands.
Seas Reported Rough.
Aside from this one possibility, hope
for the flyers had faded almost entirely.
Extremely rough weather conditions
continue to prevail. Radio messages
from ships along their course report
high seas and strong winds, which prob
ably would have prevented the craft re-
naming afloat long should 1t have been
forced down on the water.
The aviators carried a "payload"
which they hoped to take to Paris, COM
pleting the first commercial trip across
the Atlantic IN an airplane.

A partially melted pistol, be-
lieved to have been the weapon
with which Beulah Limerick was
killed, was found today in stove

street southeast, where the girl
met her death.
This discovery followed close
upon the arrest of Mrs. Martha
Bargfrede, the dead girls best
friend, who was taken into custody

fed at the coroner's inquest this

been turned over to the Bureau Of
Standards for examination, was regard
ed by police as the most important de-
Yelopment in the investigation to date

to bring out the fact that q gun was
believed to have been In coal stove

|. TO HOUSE WITH BIG
|. DRY LAW INCREASE
$2,369, 500 Allowed for 500
New Agents-Immigration
Funds Increased.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Large increases for enforcement of
prohibition and immigration laws were
included in the $135, 739, 668 supply bill
for the State, Justice, Labor and Com
merce Departments reported today to
the House.
An increase of $2,369, 500 allowed by
the House Appropriations Committee
for 500 additional agents in the Pro-
hibition Bureau resulted in the fling Of
minority report by Representative
Tinkham, Republican, Massachusetts,.
In all, the Prohibition Bureau was
allotted $11. 1859, 900 for the next fiscal
year. The total carried for the Justice
Department was $51.23s, 900. an increase
of $5,S43, 900. The Labor Department
figure was $13,s30. 900. with an increase
of more than one million for deporta-
ton of aliens and other Immigration
Bureau uses. The Commerce Depart
ment total was cut slightly below the
current year to $50, 1888 900, with re-
duction of more than 100000 for the
Census Bureau, largely compensated by
increases for aeronauticS and other di-
visions The State Department allot-
ment was $16,681 900, a cut of less than
a million from the current year.
Increase Of $5,Ss1,O
The total for the four departments
was $2,411 900 below budget estimates,
but SIS 1871 900 above total expenditures
for the present fiscal year.
Tinkhann'S minority report asserted:
1.-The 500 additional enforcement ofii-
GERS provided for in the bill will add
a new measure to the corruption, law
lessneSs and perjury now generally COM
nected with the enforcement OF pro-
hibition, and must increase the present
resentment of and contempt for law
and government and the disrespect Of
the administration of justice in the
United States
The transcripts of closed hearings be-
fore the committee disclosed that At
torney General Mitchell declined to
answer questions on prohibition policy
propounded by Tinkham.
IT have never openly entered into any
controversial field about prohibition"
Mitchell testified, 'if I could avoid lit.

as head of my department If I got into
a discussion of these controversial mat
tiers. do not think I ought to do 1t
and I will ask the committee to excuse
me-"

But Director Woodcock of the Prohi-
bition Bureau, testified under question
ing:
I'VE do think we can stop the open
traffic in intoxicating liquor. So,
/ would have to say that we would
reach degree of enforcement when we
have prevented the traffic in intoxicat-
ing liquor, when you would see no open
saloons or SpeakeasieS, when you see
no liquor being manufactured, when
you see no liquor being transported
commercially. We think that is enforce
ment and that is our ultimate objec-
tive"

noted that neither the attorney gen.
eral nor the director of prohibition
would estimate what the ultimate cost
of enforcement might be-"

one had been passed over. I greatly appreciated
the opinion and action of the chief of staff whom
had always held in high esteem.
Gen. Scott outlined the general plans in so far
as anything definite had been determined Be-
ginning with February the War College division
of the general staff presented number of recon-
mendations for action in the event of with the
Central powers. One was for the enactment of a
draft law and others referred to the size of the
Army to be organized and the necessity for the
procurement of equipment and supplies.
March is, acting under instructions of the
chief of staff, the War College division submitted
a more detailed scheme for raising an Army of
500 600 men.
But these were all eleventh-hour suggestions
and no definite action was taken on any of them
until May 1S, when Congress passed the law
authorizing the increase of military establishment
through the application of the draft.
