CONGRESS MEETS EARLY TO SPEED FINAL LEGISLATION (Continued from First Page) consider bills dealing with the coal industry. Although Congress is to close its doors for the Summer, the bill hoppers still remain open and measures of all sorts continue to pour in, even though their sponsors know there is no chance of action upon them. Among the new measures was a resolution by Representative Gallivan, Democrat, Massachusetts, requesting that a proposition for repeal of the prohibition amendment be submitted to conventions in every State. The conventions would be held before the Fall of 1928.

The Senate last night passed a bill giving the Commissioners general au will pre- | thority for the elimination of all re- | maining railroad grade crossings in the District, but it is extremely doubt ful that the measure will he able to get through the House in the last minute rush. The bill does not make funds avail- able for this purpose, but puts the substantive legislation on the statute books. to be followed by specific items in appropriation bills from time to time. If it does not get through the House it will be one nf the measures considered early at the next session. the lead to 4—0 against the puzzied Frenchmen. Cochet’s cannon-ball service gave France her first game and a net at- tack against Kinsey's service her sec- ond. Brugnon's service accounted for the third French game, but the Amer- icans finished off the setwith great teamwork at the net, allowing their opponents only, one more game. Mlle. Lenglen and Jean Borotra were spec- tators in the royal box Brugnon's terrific service proved the undoing of the Americans in the third set. With the French game score at 5—3, he put over such effective serv- ices that, although the Americans took the game to deuce, he had no difficulty in delivering the final punch. As in the second set, Richards was liant heightg in the second, for a lead- of 2—0.

The only so- lution seemed to he cutting away the iron work, but neither police nor help- ers had any authority to chop up Westminster Bridge, which is the property of the London County Coun- cil. Fortunately the L. C. C. hall was only a few hundred yards away, on the south side of the bridge, and a policeman hastened there to obtain permission. The officials realized prompt action was necessary, so they did not sum- mon a special council meeting. A member of the highway and bridges committee took the responsibility on himself and courteously gave permis- sion for the removal of such small sections of the bridge balustrade as might be necessary. A hacksaw was brought into use, but without much success. Brass- helmeted firemen who had arrived in two fire engines brought their axes into play. but the ironwork was too thick, and eventually the rescue was effected by chipping away pieces with & cold chisel. Meanwhile two hospital students held the boy and protected his neck with cotton, wool, lint and other stuff. The boy was rushed to St. Thomas' Hospital in the motor ambulance, pur- ple in the face but little the worse for his experience except for a few lacer: tions hehind the ea ised by his first_efforts to free himself. After a short while he was well enough to be sent home, presumably well satisfied with his view of the Thames, and ex cited crowds regretfully resumed their journeys. (Copyright. 1926.) .

House Passes Bill to Cede 46-Acre “Bootleggers’ Paradise” to Virginia A “no within by Repr man’s land” of 46 acres, 10 miles of the Capitol, said entative Moore, Democrat, Virginia, to be a “hootleggers’ para- dise,” would be ceded to Virginia under provisions of a bill by Repre- sentative Moore passed by the Ifouse and sent to the Senate yesterday. The land, over which the soverelgnty is undetermined, was “pumped up out of the Potomac River” by a_shipbuild- ing corporation during the World War, Moore recently told the House military affairs committee. More than a scorg of illicit liquor stills are said to be. in operation undisturbed on this tract, Moore added, because no gov- ernmental jurisdiction has been termined. de- he “no man's” lund referred to by Mr. Moore lies just behind Jones Point light, below Alexandria on the Virginia side of the river. It is all “made” land. If there are any stills there they are sufficiently well hidden to have escaped a thorough search by & reporter and photographer from The Star who went out to look for them some months ago when Mr. Moore made his statements hefore the House military affairs committee. Pro- hibition officers asked about conditions there at the time were ynable to shed further light on the existence of a “bogtleggers’ paradise.” sur- | heing quite | JUDGE BUNDY GIVEN RECEPTION AT % {Representatives of Organiza- | tions Join Friends in Hon- oring Him for Servces. | Judge Charles S.
