The District Traffic Board will not decide what types of traffic signal lights should be Installed in Wash- ington until after Maj. W. H. Hol- combe, chairman of the Traffic Board, makes his contemplated visit to other large cities to study various methods of control. Maj. Holcombe said today he had »xpected to make the trip 10 days ago, but that he has been detained to as- sist in submitting the five-year school building program to Congress. The major said he is not yet con- vinced that synchronized 1ights, under which traffic moves simultaneously at each intersection on a given street, would be the best thing in the down- town congested section. Maj. Holcombe added, however, that nothing is to be decided until after he visits the other citfes. In addition to the synchronized lights, Maj. Hol- combe plans to consider the three- colored semaphore for individ crossings downtown. The third light, in between the red and green, would be flashed as a warning both to mo- torists and pedestrians before chang- ing the flow of traflic. HAYNES TO RETIRE IN REORGANIZATION PLAN FOR DRY UNIT _(Continued from l—xm Page.) inflict such punishment on any one, whether he was involved in the traffic of liquor or simply happened to be caught with a flask of liquor in his or her possession. This, Mr. Coolidge thinks, would be excessive. He feels that there are many violations of the dry law which when compared to| others are not so serious. He sup- poscs, for instance, that the posses- sion of a flask might not be seriou: whereas undertaking to make mooey out of the sale of liquor would be more serious. Both are violations of the law and | are strongly disapproved by the Presi- | dent, but for the first class of offense judges are vested with a certaln and they can impose jail ces wherever th think the car- ng of a flask of 1i r is part of an anized system of transportation and The Government cannot afford to hire | enough prohibition agents to search | the persons of individuals suspected | of carrying flasks.

SMALL. While Washington gossip generally concedes that Bascom Slemp, secre- tary to President Coolidge, has been disappointed in not realizing his am- bition' to become a cabinet member, the truth of the matter is that the secretaryship to a President seldom ever serves as a stepping stone to the official famnlly. Since President Cleve- land’s days there has been only one such promotion. Most Presidents have regarded thelr secretary as occupying & far closer and more personal rela- tionship than any member of the cab- inot, and thls may account for the failure of the Executives to regard the door to their private office as sort of portal to the cabinet. There {5 talk now that perhaps Representative Everett nders of Indiana, who is to succeed Mr. Slemp at the Whits House, has been prom- ised cablnet rank later on. Other- wise it is argued he would not have turned aside from his purpose to quit Washington because of the meager | congressional salary, Inasmuch as the post at the White House carries with it the same pay as that received by Senators and Representatives, namely, 37,600 a year. At the White House Mr. Sanders will have an auto- moblle and chauffeur, but whether | a car in these days ig to be regarded as an asset or a liability is thing else again. Cortelyou Was Advanced.

IN'BERLIN CABINET Luther Says No leferences Exist and Explains Delay in Address. By the Associated Pross. BERLIN, January 17.—Chancellor Luther today assured a conference of German editors that there were no | differences of opinion or other points | fon among the members of his new cabinet. Postponement of the government’s inaugural statement to the Reichstag was due solely to his desire to have his cabinet completed which he hoped would be the case be- fore Monday. Dr. Joseph of disser of Cologne has | accepted the porttalts of justice, it was announced. He is « retired jurist and a member of the Clarical party. The new chanceilor is still most urgently in quest of an occupant of the post of minister of finance, the importance of which is stressed in view of the tangled state Ger- many's present negotiations for com- mercial agreements with varlous na- tions, chiefly because of the impor- tance attached to the enactment of legislation providing for the prelimi- evaluation of war loans, go snds and saving deposits wiped out during the in Frenk. flation era “I am primarily a civil service offi- cial and no party man, and I purpose conducting the office of chancellor on { that basis,” Dr. Luther told the press representatives.
