kc -tJc circle POOR WEATHER I i fM INDIA EM 1 JA? The above map shows the possible routes the Graf Zeppelin may take across Asia. The course is settled to Moscow. Dr. Eckener, the commander, said he intended to go via Danzig and that he would not touch Leningrad. But from Moscow on the line is indefinite and the choice depends on weather reports.

The favored route is the extreme northerly one shown in a light line, but just before the Graf started Dr. Eckener said he did not believe it would be attempted because of bad weather predictions. Therefore from Moscow he plans a direct route to Omsk, passing over the center of the Ural range. Depending again on weather outlook, the choice of course from here lies between the northerly route to Yakutsk and Saklislin Island and a southerly line via Irkutsk and over Manchuria. The terminal of all three lines, of course, is Tokio.

Two more arrests were made today on indictments handed up late yes terday by the Grand Jury in Queens, which has been lnvestigating-eharges of graft in the Department of Street Cleaning.

France, Italy, Belgium, Japan Band for Fight The Hague, Aug. 15 (F) The British delegation, by let ter and otherwise within the past 24 hours, has made known to other nations participating in the conference to make the Young plan ef fective that its ultimatum still stands and it will not accept the Young plan without an increased share of German reparations. It was made known also that Philip Snowden, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Intended to demand action on his resolution for revision of the Young plan and would brook little further delay. In timate personal conversations between the delegates continued any way, with the hope of finding some way out of the deadlock. Mr.

Snowden was understood to have given this warning to the other delegations because the talk of offers and concessions had created in England the impression a com' promise was being considered. Chancellor, while willing to consider reasonable proposals, wanted to forestall any Impression which might have taken root in consequence of the talk of offers which might or might not prove accept able. Other Nations Unite. The situation arising as a result of this development was made all the more serious by the resolution of the other creditor nations France, Italy, Belgium and Japan- to stand together In opposition to Chancellor Snowden. If the Snowden resolution comes up for action Saturday ut the meet' ing of the financial committee un amended, it undoubtedly will be rejected and the Chancellor will be raced with the necessity of going home or backing down.

The number increased yesterday. Officials of the bank then learned that a report was being circulated that Dr. Lewis had died. Dr Lewis, as a matter of fact, was In a Connecticut hospital, where a carbuncle had been removed from his neck.

Davis. N. Y. DRYLEAGUE Superintendent Resigns as Factional Trouble Is Seen in State Body. Formal announcement of the res ignation of Arthur J.

Davis as State Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League was made at the office of the league today. It was generally understood that Davis had resigned as the result of factional disturbances within the league. The announcement of his resignation aid that Dr. S. E.

Nicholson of Brooklyn, editor of the New York edition of the American Issue, would serve as acting superintendent pending the selection of a successor to Davis. Davis will return to Mas sachusetts as superintendent of the league there. Anderson's Hand Seen. Particular significance was attached today to the fact that William H. Anderson, Davis' predecessor, attacked Davis' administration en a number of occasions.

In June, 1925, after he had been released from Sing Sing Prison, Anderson accused Davis of being responsible for tht e'efeat of Col. Theodore Roosevelt and the re-election of Governor Smith. It was felt In some quarters today that Davis' retirement had been brought about by Anderson or his supporters in the league or both and that the former superintendent had an ambition to regain some of the prestige he lost when he was convicted of forgery In 1924. McBride Wants Outsider. The utmost secrecy surrounded the meeting yesterday afternoon when Davis' resignation was ac cepted.

It was said that F. Scott McBride, national superintendent of the league, was present at the meeting and declared that Davis' successor should come from outside the State. McBride Is expected to meet with determined opposition If he presses his point. Dr. Nicholson and F.

A. Victor, associate superintendent of the league, are leading the race for Davis' Job. Orville S. Poland, attorney for the league, declined to discuss the situation further than to confirm reports that Davis had resigned. He promised a statement late today or tomorrow.

Had Stormy Career. Davis as State superintendent had a stormy career. The league was split into factions following the sentencing of Anderson to Sing Sing Prison. Anderson at first appeared to be friendly toward Davis, but this attitude changed to one of extreme unfriendliness. Rollln O.

Everhart resigned as ed itor of the American Issue when Davis took office because he declared Davis had given Anderson a clean bill of health. A year later Anderson turned on Davis at the time of Smith's re-election and declared that Davis and his adherents had "injured the Anti-Saloon League na tionally and endangered the dry cause everywhere." A month later the Rev. Wilbur E. Schoonhoven of Huntington, L. demanded that Davis resign.

Srhoon-haven, a trustee of the league, backed up Anderson's assertion that the Davis crowd had bungled the campaign and allowed the re-election of Smith. Dr. George P. Merrill Dies Suddenly; Noted Geologist Auburn, Maine, Aug. 15 Dr.

Silver Lake, N. Aug.

15 (P) On the theory that this State has no deflnlate knowledge of Its agrlcul tural possibilities. Gov. Roosevelt's Agricultural Advisory Commission has proposed a detailed survey and classification of all farm and forest lands. The proposal was announced today by the Oovernor In an address here before the Wyoming Valley Pioneers' Association. The survey, which the Governor said could not "be done In one year," but could be started at the next legislative session, would cost about $110,000 a year for the first three years.

The projects contained in the program would fall, according to the Governor, Into the following classes: Completion of the soil survey, Including preparation of detailed maps. Assembling and preparing complete weather data. Classification of land for agrlcul lurp, forest, recreation or incidental purposes. Survey of the present uses and best adaptions of land. Including charts for vegetables, forests and pastures.

Studying the cost of producing milk under the various existing systems of dairying. Says Wrong Crops Are Raised. "It Is not stretching the point to say that a very large portion of agricultural lands is now used for the production of the wrong kind of crop, said the Governor. "The commission proposes, tncre-fore, that the first step must be to complete the soil survey of the Stale. For many years past co-operative work has been going on between the State and the Federal government, but It has resulted In the survey of less than half of the counties of the State.

At the present rate of procedure It woulj require 30 years to finish the soil survey. "It Is said that more than half of the orchards of Western New York are planted on the wrong kind of soli. If knowledge of these soils had been available, millions of dcllars would have been saved the fruit growers of that part of the State. "With this soil survey, there should go a complete survey of the climatic conditions of the State, and It Is a fact little recognized that one county may have conditions of climate very different from an adjoining county, so different In fact that the effect on the same crop will be marked. "The third step In the survey Is to take an Inventory of all the forest reserves of the State.

While It Is true that the State Is consuming far more timber each year than It is growing, it Is also true that thousands of owners of wood lots are unable to obtain dependable markets for their forest crops. In other words, we are losing at both endv-not growing enough timber and at the same time not getting what we should for the timber which we have. "There has been much talk and some legislation on reforesting the waste lands of the State, but we have little detailed knowledge of where that land Is, what Its boundaries are and what kind of trees should be planted on it for best returns. "I have long been Interested In the general subject of city and regional planning. The present proposed survey of the whole State Is merely an Intelligent broadening of the planning which heretofore has been localised.

It Is a study for a Statewide plan which will Include the use of every acre In the whole State. So far as I know, Is the first time In the United 8tatei that the city or regional plan idea has been extended to take in a whole State."

It was said His Majesty expected to proceed there In due course, although no date has yet been fixed for his departure. The official announcement was made in refutation of a report published in the Dally News today and to be inferred from other published stories that King George would not go to the summer palace at San-dringham but would be removed shortly to Bognor, Sussex, for a turther recuperative stay. Would Include AH Places Taking Deposits Calls Present Law Characterizing the Private Banking Act ns "a disgrace to the State," Superintendent of Banks Joseph A.

Broderlck today told a meeting of the Joint Legislative Committee on Banking, at the Bar Association Building, Manhattan, that It should be rewritten to give the Banking Department supervision over private banks, steamship ticket agencies nhich accept deposits and all other agencies handling Invested deposits cr transmitting money. The meeting of the legislative committee today was the first since Moreland Commissioner Robert Moses submitted his report on the City Trust Company wrecking. Assemblyman Nelson W. Cheney, com mittee chairman, used the report a the basis for questioning Broderlck. Moses recommended that all private banks b-j placed under State supervision.

Aks Wider Powers. Broderick pointed out that the Private Banking Act represented a compromise when It was adopted. "The most important thing I can recommend at this time," said Brod erlck, "Is the re-vamping of this act to clear It up and end its present ambiguity. We in the department feel we ought not to have to leave this law to the mercy of the Attorney Ocneral's Interpretation. "The rewriting of this act is Important since the department now has only a small percentage of the private banks of the State under Its control, although there is a mistaken idea held by the public that we supervise them all.

We want the responsibility fixed by law. Only 10 Percent Supervised. Explaining that not more than 10 percent of the private banks In New York came under the supervision of the State Baukmg Department and that the department had been unable to examine the books of the defunct Clarke Brothers bank "because we had no way to lorce an Inspection of thfir books under the terms of the law as Interpreted by the Attorney Generals omcc, Broderlck continued: "What we need very badly is the right of limited Inspection of the books of all banking houses In order to discover whether the department actually has supervision." Cheney, after conferring briefly with the other committee members, said: "I believe that the committee's sentiments are in agreement with you when we hold that any deposits of any sort should be supervised so that the depositors may be protected by the State." HERIC ASKS POWER TO PHOBE tlons were these: That it would utilize school buildings the entire 12 months, thereby saving In school costs. That It would bring employment to the army of 3,000 teachers now awaiting appointment. That so great Is the demand now for summer schooling that uninterrupted teaching would be more beneficial to students and teachers alike, saving In the end In cost of education.

Patterning his plan after the Philadelphia "stagger" system, Mr Somers described how the academic year could be divided Into platoons of terms, three or four months eaJh. This method would permit a periodic shift of teachers: likewise of Hudents. Vacations could be arranged in summer, winter or any season. Idea Wins Praise.
