Reeves seized $50,000 worth of choice liquors at the home of J. Bayard Kirkpatrick, prominent lawyer and manufacturer of West Caldwell. Later the liquor was ordered returned by United States Commissioner George R. Sommer, who ordered the warrants and evi- dence quashed. Warrants Suppressed. ‘Warrants and evidence ' in connec- tion with the selzure in Middlesex County homes of whisky alleged to have been landed by the British traw- ler Kilmarnock were suppressed re- cently by Federal Judge Rellstab, with the comment that he had seen “some measly ones, but none so fundamen- tally wrong as these (customs war- rants).”” Action on return of the liquor is pending in Fedcral Court. Col. Reeves took charge of the New Jersey district in October, 1926, and recently announced that his conflsca- tions since that date cost rum run- ners and moonshiners $30,000 a day A veteran of many military cam- paigns, he placed a squad of his men in uniform, “so that violators would not be able to say they thought they were shooting at hi-jackers,” and struck his blows at the larze dis- tiller. In one of Reeves' first weeks as administrator, his agents destroyed liguor and equipment valued at $1,- 000,000. He arrested some 600 per- sons, dynamited stills, deported aliens, libelled freight cars and put to flight manufacturers of bogus labels. He pressed railroads so hard .that they agreed to set out no cars at night on sldings likely to be used by beer run- ners. Col. Reeves is 54 years old. He served in the Spanish-American War and was wounded in the Philippines. He was recalled to active service dur. ing the World War and served in France. —— E is also referred to,” the report continued, “which is a substantial ob- Jection and hard to overcome.

History of Progress. At the Monday evening session Dr. John Nolen of Cambridge, Mass., pres- ident of the conference, who has made plans for many self-contained com- munities, such as the town of Marfe- mont, Ohio, which have been laid out before construction, will present a brief history of the I 20 years’ progress in city planning. When it is remembered that the McMillan Park report on the District of Colum- bia, in 1901, and written by Chairman Moore of the Fine Arts Commission, s a ploneer in planning reports and that it was not until 1905 that we began to find published reports on different phases of planning from the different cities in the country, it will be realized that the history of the last 20 year§ is enormously significant. At this session Lewis -Mumford, author, will attempt. a_prediction for the next 20 years in city planning. Tuesday’s program is rich in emi- nent speakers and in subject matter of interest to Washington. Among them is Bdward M. Bassett, whose legal advice aided in the presentation of the zoning case which was finally upheld by the Supreme Court and so entrenched the zoning law in the Di trict of Columbia. At the morning sesion regional highways, parks and parkways will be discussed by Col. Sidney D. Waldron, chairman of the Detroit Rapid Transit Commission, and Henry A. Barker, chairman of the Providence City Pian Commission. Of Especial Interest.

Saint Roman and Comdr Mouneyres, French aviators, vho, starting from St. Louis, Senegal, early Thursday morning for Pernambuco, failed to arrive at their destination and have been missing for two days. No word has come from them, though their arrival at Pernambuco had been expected by midnight Thursdiy or shortly after. There is much anxiety among Dra- zilians as to their fate. Every effort is being made in the search for the aviators, and now a vessel is to pro. ceed to Roccas, a desert island off the mainland and about 85 miles from Fernando do Noronha. This island is quite large, and has a naval light- house, with alternative flashes, end there is some hope that the French. men might have alighted there, with the possibility of their rescue. The Brazilian plane Jahu, which recently made a transatlantic flight from Italy under command of Joan Ade Barros, has been repaired and will take the air tomorrow, proceeding in the direction of Roeccas ¢nd other places in an effort to find the missing men.
