When the steamship Lnrllne arrived
lu San Francisco recently she brought
as a member of the crew George
Sherman, millionaire of Chicago and
Honolulu, en route to Washington to
confer with A. Mitchell Palmer, alien
property custodian, concerning the af¬
fairs of the H. Hackfleld company,^re¬
cently seized by the government, and
of which Mr. Sherman has been placed
In control. Falling to obtain passage
on the Lnrllne when she left Honolulu,
because the owners had failed to re¬
new their passenger-carrying license,
Sherman made arrangements with the
captain to ship as a cabin boy.
TO DEMOLISH PARIS FORTS
■
City Alderman Wants the Walla
's Pierced to Make Suburban
Travel Easier.
Paris.—The question of the demoli¬
tion of the ring of antiquated fortifi¬
cations which surrounds Paris will be
brought up, before the municipal coun¬
cil during the course of the uext few
months.
This Is not as a result of the arml
stice or because of the league of un¬
tlons, which Is expected to put an
end to wars forever, or because of the
fact that with modem artillery the
fortifications would be useless. The
matter has already been brought up
before the council. It dates back
to 1884. The plan, however, would
have to be referred to parliament by
the municipal council after Its adop¬
tion.
Louis Dausset, an alderman of the
city of Paris, Is sponsor for the proj¬
ect. He argues that the benefits to be
derived are a closer, easier contact
with the Paris suburbs, elimination of
the necessity of entering or leaving
Paris through the various gates, and
the freeing of valuable land for build¬
ing purposes.
