Motor Roads Jammed Near To Saturation on Sunday; Short Trips Consume Hours of Time Sunday motoring on Long Island, which has been growing worse week by week, reached the near saturation limit yesterday. Conditions were well nigh impossible on the main thoroughfares, and toward night, when thousands of cars turned toward Brooklyn, the roads were clogged almost solidly.

Every avenue leading into Brooklyn presented a continuous line of motors. Cars moved at a snail's pace after dusk. Progress was made a few yards at a time with sudden stops, and accidents were frequent. The roads leading to Brooklyn on the south side were more densely congested than the central and northerly highways, due to the frequent Long Island Railroad crossings. An instance was reported of a run of 4''3 hours from Long Beach to Lynbrook, a distance of five miles.

As early as 5 o'clock returning motorists found themselves in an endless line of cars, the tail of which swung over a semi-circle miles from Brooklyn. By 8 o'clock there was a double line out further and cars were four abreast nearer home. Cars leaving Garden City at 8:30 had to wait until they could squeeze into the line on the Hempstead Turnpike. A trip from that point required three hours. Long and exasperating stops were caused by the string of specials on the Long Island Railroad to and from Long Beach and the Rockaways.

Angry Crowd Makes Driver Wear Harness, Draw Cart Calls Governor's "Nullifi. tion" Attitude a Politi Blunder Deplores Grov i ing Tendency to Thr Responsibility on Government Declares Enforce ment Will Not Be Denver, June 25 President Hurl ing served notice In an address fi re today that the Federal was determined to enforce tha ro-hibition law even should the bu 1 of enforcement continue to be. creasingly thrown upon It by. States. i Moreover, the Executive the conviction not only that the nrc.

hlbltlon amendment will not be repealed, but that whatever chuifra may be made In the Volstjat1. act "will represent the sincere purpose of effective enforcement, rather lhaa moderation of the general Striking straight out at thos wao violate the law, the President eii4 the issue is fast coming to be not as one between the "weta" and "drys," but as one of. wiieme.f the laws of "this country can be and will be enforced." "So far as the Federal Government is concerned," he said, "and I am very sure also so far as concerns the very great majority of the State governments and the local governments, It will be enforced. A gratifying, indeed It may fairly he said, an amazing progress has been made In the laBt" few years toward better enforcement." While Mr. Harding made no direct reference to the situation New York State, he did say th "the spectacle of a State nullifying lta own authority, and asking the national sovereignty to take over a a Important part of Its powers, is new." He added that "when the The pessimists who cry out that the great metropolis Is a cold, heartless spot on tho map.

would have received a hard Jolt to their theory last night, and would have discovered that the coldness Is only skin deep, had they viewed the angry mob that surged around Brownie, a littl.c Shetland pony, when his driver, Max Lerner, tried drag the little horse to his feet, from where he had fallen exhausted in front of the postofflce. Not satis-fled with his arrest, the crowd, made up of sailors, men loitering around he postofflce, scores of passersby and belated newsboys, followed the driver to the Poplar st. police station, threatening personal chastisement, until he was locked up on a charge of cruelty to animals. Brownie, tho little bay Shetland. streaked with white, weighs about 251) pounds.

Yesterday morning, at Delancey Manhattan, he was hitched to a wagon loaded with Eskimo pie, eight gallons of Ice cream, lemonade and soft drinks and driven to Brighton Beach and to 42d st. and 28th Brooklyn, by Lerner. At 10 o'clock at night, on the way home, the little beast showed signs of succumbing, hut the relentless Max, from his perch in front, urged him on. The first time the pony collapsed at the corner of Myrtle ave. and Washington but Max clapped the reins sharply over tne pony back and he staggered on through Washington st.

Goaded on by the cruel Max, who shouted at him, Brownie dragged his weary little body as far as the postofflce. sank to the street, and refused to rise. Someone in the crowd that gath ered brought a pall of water, which was thrown over tho pony. Someone else demanded that Lerner unhitch his pony. Lerner heard himself called a "beast" and "cruel" and presently Brownie stood up unhitched.

The persistent crowd decided Lerner should pull the load while the pony walked behind. The heavy collar was dropped over the head of the 120 pound drink vendor and he bent his back to the load. Brownie's 300 pounds of heft could draw the wagon easily but Lerner could scarcely move it. Spurred on by the crowd, he managed to haul the wagon for one block. Miss Blanche D.

Small, of 309 Carlton an agent of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, came upon the scene. She summoned Sgt. Joyce and Patrolman Caulfleld of the Poplar St. police station, who were riding in a department motorcar. Miss Small demanded the ptddler's arrest for cruelty to implications of this strange proposal are fully understood by people and parties devoted to preserving the rights of the States, the new nulll-flcatlootsts, I venture to siv, will discover that they have perpetrated what is likely to prove one of the historic blunders in political management." Tho President disclosed that a good deal of testimony is reaching Washington that some States having prohibition enforcement codes and even some which successfully en forced "dry" laws before national prohibition are "disposed to abdicate their own police authority in this matter and to turn over the burden of prohibition enforcement to the Federal authorities." See Menace in Situation.

"Doubtless," he said, "this is largely due to a misconceived notion, too widely entertained, that the Federal Government has actually taken over the real responslbily. The fact is quite the contrary. The Fed eral Government is not equipped with tho instrumentalities to make enforcement locally effective. It does 3 DEAD: MANYARE Policeman Injured Chasing Speeders Three Felled in Bicycle Race.

The road race was that of the Italian-American Gymnastic Association, with a clubhouse at 321 Lorlmer st. Part of the course was down Ocean Parkway to Coney island and return. The avenue had been closed to vehicular traffic so as to leave an unimpeded path for the racers.

IRONWORKERS AND CEMENT MEN AGAIN TIE DP BUILDINGS On the heels of the bricklayers' strike settled last Friday treads a further tleup for the builders whose operations have been tied up for the past month. Twenty-four hours after a settlement was made with the striking bricklayers the cement laborers came with a demand for (1 a day increase, or $7.60, and being refused walked out. Today the inside Ironworkers, 3,000 of them, threaten to stop work if their demand of a 44-hour week, union shop, renewal of union wage scales of 76 cents for helpers and 11 for mechanics be refused. The concrete concerns met the strikers half way on Saturday with an offer of IT a day, or an increase of 50 cents, but the workmen Insisted upon the full dollar Increase, and not getting It laid down their tools and quit, christian S. Norman, chairman of the board of governors of the building Trades Employers' Association, has announced that on Wednesday, If the men have not re turned to their work, the Master league or cement Workers will begin filling places of the concrete and cement workers on strike.

The Mason Builders Association, against which the bricklayers struck, expect the men to start again on the buildings stopped when they walked out, either tomorrow or Wednesdav. Whether or not all of the men will return to their old Jobs Is problematical, according to members of the association, who are Inclined to believe that many of the bricklayers, who went over to speculative builders during the strike and who have been receiving as high as $16 a dav. may remain on these high-paying Jobs rather than accept even the advance for which they fought for more than a month. With the exception of the plasterers' craft there Is no group of workers In the building trade so small In numbers as the brickloyers, and the great demand for their services, builders say, has made tnem not only independent but aggressive toward their employers. It is estimated that approximately $18,600,000 will be bourne by build ing construction in New York City in the next six montha as a result of the bonuses and wage increases granted recently to the 116,000 workers In tho building trades.

Many of these workers have re ceived an increase of $1 a day, but Increases of $2 a day in the basic rate have been given to bricklayers, plasterers, hoisting engineers and one or two other crafts In the building trades.

1321. on Parkslde between Ocean and Flatbush aver. Welngarlen took III case tn the Appellate Division, but settled the claim on compromise A two-car elevated train, with about 40 passenger aboard, toppled from the structure on Flatbush near Atlantic and crashed into the street at 2:15 o'clock this afternoon. Three bodies have been taken from the wreckage in the street, one of these being a truckman who was driving under the structure when the train fell. None of the other passengers had been removed at 2:30 o'clock, and there was no way of ascertaining the number of dead.

It may amount to 15. At 3 o'clock the death list was placed at 6. The cause of the accident was understood to be a broken axle. According to witnesses, the train, which was on the 5th ave. line and bound for Park Row, slowed down aa it turned from 5th ave.

into Flatbush ave. There was suddenly a grinding noise, the tracks were ripped, the two cars swayed for a second, and then with a deafening crash toppled into the street. Every ambulance In town was sent the scene. Emergency calls for police and Jremen wero issued. In the mean-rime policemen near the seine did their best to keep the excited crowds away from the wreckage.

Volunteers came forward to aid. Women who said they had ha.1 nurs-lng experience were permitted to assist in removing and caring for the injured. Injured Removed, The injured were removed and taken into the sub-station of the postofflce in the Long Island station. Mayor Hylan was one of the i-crlicst to reach the scene of the Occident after notification had been ssnt to him in City Hall. The elevated structure at that point is 35 feet high.

The street at that particular point was fortunately not crowded. The truckman who was killed was driving his machine directly under the falling oars. Another motorist barely escaped, his car moving out a second before the crash. The first report sent to Police Hf adquarters said that three had been killed and up to 60 injured. Alexander Lewasky, of 447 Rogers a passenger In the first car, escaped death by a miracle.

When he felt the car leave the rails and start its grinding way along the splintering sleepers, he leaped to his feet and running to the side of the car away from the street, seized a strap and stood fast. As a result, he was knocked unconscious and received a deep scratch on his right arm but was soon brought around by an ambulance surgeon. "The train was moving slowly when It happened," he said. "As soon as the train left tho rails I listened Instinctively for the with Horror. "I don't remember whether I heard them or not.

I did hear the breaking timbers underneath. The car rolled along the ties like a drunken sailor. Nobody cried out. We were all petrified. "Then suddenly everything seemed to give way underneath and with a lurch over went the car.

It seemed like several hours but since bo apparently went only about 10 feet be- fore pitching down below I guess It was only a few moments." I. M. T. Ki'port. The following statement was Issued by the B.

M. T. office 20 minutes after the accident: "We have a report from one of our men on tho scene that a two car Bay Ridge elevated train b.iund for Manhattan has Just left the track at Flatbush and 5th av. ar.nl that both cars nrc now In the street be-side 'he elevated slrueture. "We do not know how many, If any, persons have bren Injured.

We not know what caused the acci dent nor any of the circumstances So far we have been able to learn un to 2:30 there was no collision Thiti. were only two cars In this train, and we do not know whethei there was another train at that point at the tlmo." mons There Is No Ground for Protest if Vessels Were Within Three-Mile Limit. Two More "Wet" Liners Arrive All Excess Liquor Stocks to Be Seized. (Bv the Associated Preat.) London, July 25 Stanley Baldwin, the Prima Minister, stated In the House of Commons today that there was no ground for protest if British customs seals were broken within United States territorial waters by officials of the United States Customs Service. His statement was In answer to a question whether Great Britain recognized America's right to break the seals on liquor aboard ships.

Mr. Baldwin said it was the practice for the British customs authorities to fix their seals as a maftor of routine on dutiable ship stores taken from England in bond, to prevent consumption of the stores in territorial waters. The seals must not bo broken in British territorial waters, but otherwise they were In no way Inviolable. Foreign customs seals, he added, were habitually broken, when necessity arose, In British territorial waters. The Earl of Birkenhead gavi notice of his intention of putting forward a question in the House of Lords tomorrow, drawing attention to the seizure of liquor on British ships in American waters and asking the Government what it proposed to do.

Two More "Wet" Liners Here. Two more "wet" liners steamed Into port today while United 8tates Government officials were preparing to move on six other vessels which had docked over the week end with liquor transported over the three-mile edict in defiance of the Treasury Department's dry ruling. The latest arrivals were the Anchor Liner Tuscanla and the French Liner Suflren. The Tusrnnia, arriving from Glas gow, brought a relatively small store. Seven dozen bottle of Scotch was the largest Individual item.

Eighty- nine bottles of assorted drinks made tip tho rest of the cache bearing British Government seals. Tho Buffrcn was more heavily laden. She brought from Havre, in addition to a slight stock marked medicinal supplies, .1,151 bottles of wine, 821 bottles of champagne, 6s bottles of gin, 18 bottles of rum and 9 bottles of whisky. rne stock was under French Gov ernment seal. Excess Will Be Seized.

Surveyor of the Port Whittle an flounced that the United States Gov ernment would follow its initial step Saturday, tne case of the Baltic. and seize excess liquor as fast as it arrived. The schedule today called foi re moval of liquor from the Cunardcr Berengaria, which arrived Friday and whose seals were smashed late Saturday afternoon. Then dry agents planned to take up the case of the other week-enders: Paris. Cedrlc, Caronia, Providence and Conte Verdi.

Masters' Sworn Statements to Govern Permits. Washington, June 25 Public Health Service officials, in making out permits for the retention by for eign snips or "medicinal" and crew ration liquor supplies, must be gov erned at present, according to Act ing surgeon General White, by sworn statements by the masters of the vess-H setting forth their understanding of the foreign laws un der wnich they are operating. Tne service, Dr. White exD mined. has been unable to obtain copies of foreign laws dealing with liauor sui- plies on ships, and Its only recourse, under the Treasury Department instructions to comply with these requirements, is to rely on the masters' Interpretation.

The lack of specific Information as to foreign regulations was emphasised in a telephone conversation yesterday between Dr. Whito and Dr. E. K. Sprague, the Public Health Service officer at New York, with reference to the report that Dr.

Sprague had signed permits allowing the Berengaria to retain all liquors aboard. Dr. Sffrague denied this, informing Dr. White that the permit he had given the Berengaria allowed retention of only four gallons of liquor for each 100 passengers, although the ship's master had claimed five gallons for each 100 on the passenger list as the legal requirement. Washington, June 25 Another 24 hours at least of the present broiling weather Is in prospect for Eastern and Southern parts of the coun try.

station house. Before the lieutenant at the station, Lerner managed to squeeto a ftw crocodile tears, with his bead buried In his arms. His stories about the ownership of the horse conflicted. Once he said yesterday was the first day he had rented Brownie from- a Delancey st. livery in Manhattan, and on second thought he claimed he owned the pony.

He said he lived at 751 oth Manhattan, was 32 years old, a Russian Jew, and three years In thii country. Out of the eight gallons of Ice cream he had sold three. He claimed he intended to be married next month.

"When we began the fight against the Treaty of Versailles nnl the League the papers were about ten to one against us. Now I think they are at least a hundred to one he said. It is probable that if his chance of winning seemed good he would fight and fight hard. But Johnson did not seem inclined to bt'c for a cause that seemed totally lost.

The defection of Senator Borah from the cause of total Isolation and the shift of Hearst from enthusiasm over Johnson entbiis'asm over Henry Ford can hardly have encouraged Johnson. Other politicians gave interviews and made speeches freely. Seni' or Spencer talked to the Amerlcn Club of Paris in the conventional terms of Washington and Lafayette. And Governor Allen talked to the Amclo-Ameriran Press Club of many thlrgs. including his Industrial Court, since consigned to the dust heap as i.n-constltutlonal.

Senator Johnson made no speeches. He listened and looked down nls nose. He showed signs of Inward cheer when reporters for pro-League papers toliii him unpublished stores of funny, not to sny farcical, e.ents at Geneva. From his diaphragm to his scalp he suffered seismic disturbances indicative of joy. And when reporters for anti-League papers countered with pro-League arguments, he looked pained nnd studied the bosom of his boiled shirt.

A REAL MAGAZISE C1 it) TO 7 Additional Proof of State Laxity Revealed in Traffic Court. An instance of the laxity attending the Issuance of licenses to drivers of motorcars In Brooklyn came before Magistrate Lawrence C. Fish In the Traffic.

Court today. Motorcycle Patrolman Aakland brought to court P.oeco Canonico of 2358 Atlantic ave. charged with reckless driving while on Bedford ave. last Saturday. Dur ing the examination Magistrate Fish asked Canonico If he could read.

"Of course," wna the reply. "What is written on this placard?" asked the Magistrate, showing to the young Italian a white card upon which was clearly printed in large type the following: "One way street. Street closed. Play street. Safety zone.

I liable tn Read Card. After stepping closer to the card nnd screwing up his eyes to scrutinize it the young man accepted defeat and confessed that he was unable to read the words in English. Imme diatety his license was revoked for fraud. The law requires that each aDoli cant should be able to both read and write and the applicant must swear to the truthfulness of his answers before the State Board of Licenses. Canonico also testified that one of the salesmen of the Reliable Service Auto Company, 1775 Pitkin where he bought the car, had asked him the questions and had then written down for him the answers.

On the application it was seen that the writing was different from the signature of Canonico. Incidentally lanonico produced a license issued to him by the State License Board Magistrate Fish told of another case more flagrant. Three days ago louis Montaiano, or 135 Navy was sent to the City Prison for 30 days for filling out. the application DianK or his father. Blago Monta a no, of the same address, answering tne written questions and signing his lamer name.

The rather was sent to prison for three days. The boy was caught by Inspector Williams of the licensing bureau, who quickly noted the variance In the written age of the father and the obvious youth of the boy. "That's Just one of many cases mat cause the slaughter of nedes trians on the streets of this great city," said Magistrate Fish. There should be more examiners on hand How can one man rightfully and careruny examine 60 or more annll cants a day? There should be greater efficiency and the truth of the answers to the written questions should be carefully verified."

If the burden of enforcement shall continue to be increasingly thrown upon the Federal Government, it will be necessary, at large expense, to create a Federal police authority, which In time will Inevitably come to be regarded as an intrusion upon and interference with the right of local authority to manage local concerns. The possibilities of disaster in such a situation hardly need to be suggested. Yet It Is something that we must recognize as among the menaces in this situation.

BY GVY HICKOK. (Staff Correspondent of The Eagle.) Paris, June 16 Senator Hiram Johnson may not, on returning to the United States, make a new fight on isolation. On the other hand, he may. He did not commit himself while on the continent Though the closest mouthed of all the Congressional and Senatorial spring voyagers in Europe, he declared Clearly to those who met him that he feared "that American entrance into world affairs would actually Jeopardize the institutions and traditions of our republic." Then be hedged by saying: "The wave of public opinion In fi.o.- of such entrunce is infinitely st roofer than It was during the las campaign so strong, in fact, Ihut I hardly know whether I feel like beginning the fight asain." I'nllke most of the visitors from Washington. Johnson listened much end an til He a dinner to the American correspondents In Paris when he came, and was given a return dinner by them when he left.

At both dinners he listei.ed and said little. Noii-Coiiinilltal on Presidency. Whenever the possibility of his Presidential candlducy was mentioned he looked modestly down his nose and remarked that he was "flattered," but that he had not heard of it. If Cicero was right In saying to Catullne that "silence gives vn. sent." then one may conclude that Johnson is willing to run If opetly urged, for though he did not say "yes." It Is equally true that he did not say "no." When Governor Henry Allen ot Kansas and Senator Seldnn Spencer of Missouri were Informed of this In Paris they each ejaculated: "Then he's a candidate." They know the mils of politicians.

They are politicians. Senator Johnson remarked gravely on his departure that ho nad lieard nothing tn alter his conviction Ihut entrance Into the League or the World Court would be unfcituir.tc for the t'nltcl Stales.
