decided to recommend some changes in
the boundaries to his fellow Commits
sioners when the rules come I'D for
action tomorrow.
Protests Received.
The rules recommended by Mr.. Har-
Iand greatly restrict parking in the
downtown section and there have been
several protests against them as being
700 strict. Yesterday Gen. Crosby and
inspector Ernest w. Brown, in charge
OF the Trafhc Bureau, made a tour Of
the proposed zones and concluded it
would probably be impossible to en-
lorce the rules in an area as wide as
that called for in the original plans.
The Commissioners also are going to
give representatives of the Government
establishments mentioned a hearing to-
morrow morning before taking action
on the new rules.
Other Zones Created.
Besides the third zone, there Is a
small first zone, where parking will be
forbidden between 3 and $50 O'clock
each morning, and second zone, where
the parking viii be restricted to one
hour. Both of these zones also have
come in for some criticism, but it Is not
believed either win be materially
changed.

Colon are equally rotten" he said.

that the Navy already has good regula-
lions, the sailors being required To
return to their ships by pm. when
the feet is here.
Maj. Gen. Preston Brown, command

said he had mo comment" to make
on the Senator's statements.
Speaking last night from the pulpit
of the Union Church here, Senator
Brookhart said prohibition is a settled
question in the United States and most
people are not eve nthinking about it
any more.

the prohibition laws, the Senator as
serted, they joined the agitation be-
cause they would get advertising rev.
enue from the booze business. There
is nothing for them in prohibition"
Editorial opposition to the eighteenth
amendment, he said, 'is the widest sys-
tenn of falsehood and deception ever
put out by any people In the world"
Replying to an editorial in q local
newspaper which criticized his previous
assertions that prohibition is success
full, the Senator said most of the gang
sters and bootleggers in the United
States are in Federal prisons.
"Capone Of Chicago is about the
only one left" he said, "and he is
under sentence"
