Sky-W.ays

This city is a step closer to
having its own airport since
Washington-Hoover Airport has
been offered on lease to the
Government. i. it would not
take much time nor money for
the Aeronautics Branch Of the
Department of Commerce to
make this airport a model for
all municipal ports. and 1t
would be a distinct advantage
to Washington.
That aerial passenger trans
portation is rapidly growing in
favor is evidenced by the fact
that all such lines report in
. creased business. the United
Air Lines alone report 20,586
passengers carried this year
since January /. as compared to
9,741 for the same period OF
1881.

Pennsylvania AirlineS, Inc, will

have a corresponding plane
from the Middle West, with
mail for early local delivery.
Eastern Air Transport reports
a gain Of 3,739 passengers car

Garner Feels Sure of Action
At December Session; Off
To Albany Today

NEW YORK, Oct. II
G.N.S. illegal beer by next
March was predicted today by
Speaker John n. Garner,
Democratic vice presidential
candidate. He said:
"My guess is that there will
be legislation on the prOhibi-
ton question this coming seS-
sion. / think there is a strong
probability of having beer be-
fore March 4. There will be a
sufficient number Of Democrats
in Congress to make this pos
Sible."
Garner also expressed doubt
that d Supreme Court decision
on beer would delay the actual
legal sale.
He is confident, he said, that
the Democrats will be swept into
office By "the greatest majority
in history"
Garner will leave late today
for Albany to confer with Gov
ernor Roosevelt about speaking
tour.
He does not plan to call on
former Governor Smith. he said,
but added that he was pleased
with Smiths Endorsement of the

A mystery house on the
Marlboro Pike today entered
into the police pursuit of the
"phantom sniper"; = pursuit

from some of the robberies and
hold-ups might be found.

The troopers prodded the pro-

AS National Guardsmen attempt

hearted" over the student strike,
his friends said. The strike was
an aftermath of the educators
threat, never fulfilled, of expell-
ing two football players who were
involved in a hotel brawl.
Bewildered and disheartened
over the strike, DR.. Baker told
International News Service at
that time:
"AlI / ask is fair treatment
from the newspapers"
His plea was voiced when $50
of the 412 members of the stud
ent body walked out Of their
classrooms in protest against the
dismissal of three professors and
the threat of expulsion of the
football players.
A short time later, DR.. Baker
resigned.

BY order of the minister of

Early Release Doubted
Action of the American Lega.

early release, as the matter must
now go before the Greek courts
for adjudication.
Premier Eleutherios Venizelos
personally interested himself in
the insult case today. From
Loutraki, a popular watering
place near Athens, Venizelos tele-
phoned to the minister of justice
to determine whether the deten.
ton of insult was in compliance
with Greek law.
The minister replied that any
suspected alien was liable to
detention until his identification
had been established. The police,
he said, were ready to release
insult and would have done so
had not the American Minister
presented a written request today
for his continued detention.
Up to Appeals Court
The American note was handed
to the Greek foreign minister.
Following the usual course of
procedure, the indictments re-
turned against insult and the
demand for his arrest will be
turned over to the court of ap-
peals, which must decide whether
