HOUSE COMMITTEE
CUTS NAVY BUDGET
BELOW LAST YEAR'?
WASHINGTON, Feb, 9.—The an
nual naval appropriation bill carry
ing $271,942,867, of which $30,000,-
000 would be available for complet
ing more than a score of vessels un
der construction, was reported to
day by the house appropriations
committee. The total is $4,453,000
less than budget estimates and $23,-
024,000 less than the amount al
lotted the navy by congress a year
ago.
The bill provides $117,000,000 for
pay, enough to keep the navy at
its present strength of 6,469 officers
atid 86,000 enlisted men during the
fiscal year beginning July 1 next.
Provision also is made for 1,002 of
ficers and 19,500 enlisted men in
the marine corps—the present
strength.
For aviation the bill carries $14,-
590,000, or $57,174 less than last
year's appropriation. The commit
tee explained that it had slashed
$410,000 from the budget estimate
for aviation on account of a develop
i’nent program recommended at
jFejirl Harbor, Hawaii, and Coco
Asio, Canal Zone, which have not
- n authorized by law.
Commenting on the proposed polar
exploration trip of the dirigible
Shenandoah next summer, the re
port said actual expenses over nor
mal operating costs would approxi
mate $183,000 and that since most
of this amount would be met with
current appropriations, the commit
tee had not seen fit to‘interfere in
any way with plans for the expedi
tion.
New Ships Provided For
As to new ship construction, the
committee said it was without power
to authorize expendntures for vessels
not yet sanctioned by congress but
cited information it had obtained to
the effect that the navy department
is committed to a program for build
ing types permissible under the
Washington arms conference treaty
which, with the modernizing pro
gram already under way, would in
volve expenditure of approximately
$35,000,000 for the next ten years.
“A year ago,” the report stated,
“the committee proposed—and it
finally became law —a request by the
congress that the president take ap
propriate steps looking to the con
summation of a supplementary
treaty to limit the construction by
the leading naval powers of ships of
the types to which the existing
treaty did not extend or only con
trolled as to tonnage and gun power.
Up to this time no formal conference
has been held looking to such a sup
plementary treaty.
"So far as this committee has
been able to ascertain, none of the
foreign powers which a .’o parties to
the treaty actually has yet begun
the construction of any treaty ex
empted or permitted craft since the
conference was concluded. America
certainly should not be the first, and
should exert its influence to prevent
the necessity arising to commence
at all.”
With reference to the appropria
tion of $30,000,000 for continuing the
building of ships permissible under
the arms conference agreements the
report said that on November 30
last, one battleship, two airplane
carriers, six scout cruisers, thirteen
submarines, three fleet submarines,
one gunboat, two destroyer tenders,
one submarine tender, and one re
pair ship were in various stages of
construction and would be completed
during the coming fiscal year, with
the exception of the two airplane car
riers, three of the scout cruisers and
the three fleet submarines. An ad
dition of $6,500,000, It was estimated,
will have to be appropriated to com
plete the work.
Submarine Tests Proposed
The committee declined to accept
a budget recommendation that $2,-
x 50,000 be appropriated for commenc
ing the construction of three fleet
submarines authorized in 1916, de
claring the value of this type of
craft had not yet been proved. It
recommended instead that S6OO 000
be made available for the develop
ment and testing of submarine mo
tive power under actual service con
ations.
For betterments at navy yards and
naval stations the committee recom
mends an appropriation of $1,916,500,
or less than half the budget estimate,
to be distributed for the most part
as follows: Boston navy yard, $175,-
000; Mare Island navy yard, $728,-
000; Puget Sound navy yard, SIOO,-
Harbor naval station.
SYtH>O; Cavite Philippines naval
JuHR, $141,000. and Great Bakes
naT* station, $115,000. The report
pointed out that the committee had
no authority to make allotments for
some of the projects provided for in
the budget estimates, including the
Alamedia, Cal., base and the Sand
Point, Wash., aviation station.
With a view of cutting down the
officer strength of the navy the com
mittee recommended that appoint
ments to the Annapolis naval acad
emy be reduced on a five to three
basis, bringing the graduating class
down to 254 in 1928. It also sug
gested that about 30 civilian instruc
tors at Annapolis be dropped and
their places filled by naval officers.

‘CLEAN GOVERNMENT’ ISSUE
AS CHIEF CAMPAIGN PLANK
Taxation Is Overshadowed,
Conference on Bonus Pre
dicted by Lawrence —Ru-
mors of Dark Deals
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1924.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Clean
government will be the paramount
issue of the 1924 campaign.
Taxation has been overshadowed.
The soldier bonus will be disposed
tn by a compromise. The Democrats
will take the offensive and ask the
country to return them to power on
the ground that their record of ad
ministration was not sullied by anj r
misuse of power.
The air is full of rumors an.',
everywhere one goes -there are
whispers all tending to inciriminate
persons of prominence with a mis
conception of their personal 'elation
ship to the positions they hold. If
half the stories which are being
talked about are ever brought out
under oath before the senate inves
tigating committee, the sensations
of the past three weeks will be tame
compared with the disclosures to be
made.
Boiled down to fundamentals, the
big question is who in the govern
ment knew ahead of time abo.it the
making of the oil leases? Who tipped
off friends so that operations in the
stock market might be profitable?
Who in the government is engaged
in stock market speculation based
upon the acts of the government it
self? And where shall the line be
drawn between speculation and In
vestment?
Lease Values a Question
The usual tales-of the roundabout
efforts of the oil companies to gain
favor are being told and while no
one is talking about outright bribery
there are suspicions being expressed
that favors were extended in orde
to bring about a favorable viewpoint
toward the leasing of the oil re
serves to private interests.
One of the most perplexing phases
of the controversy is the diffe ence
of opinion which seems to exist with
reference to the true value of some
of the oil leases now under investi
gation. Responsible persons arc
making the statement that some of
the leases in question are really of
doubtful value and that the owners
know it. but that the latter had to
keep on making public statements
about the amount of money expect
ed to be made out of the leases in
order to bolster up on the stock
market the value of the stocks of
particular oil companies involved. If
they admitted that the leases were
without value, the stocks would
tumble. If they admitted that large
sums of money would be made, th,-
senate would get the impression that
the government had made a con
tract unfavorable to itself.
Republicans Can Reply
Just how much did the oil com
panies know ahead of time concern
ing the making of the leases? Did
they gather all outstanding claims
and arrange a settlement so that
the government would look with
more favor on the making of a lease
or did they settle the claims because
they knew the land was so valuable
that they could put out the claim
ants at a low figure and ultimately
make more money themselves?
As for the general leasing policy,
this undoubtedly will figure in the
answer to be made by the Republic
ans to the Democratic attack. Cer
tain leases were made under the
Democratic administration. While no
one has proved that any Democrat
received money or loans or any
other favor to make the leases, it is
a fact that private interests did se
cure leases under certain conditions.
Were these leases wisely made? If
not, then the Republicans can claim
that both the Democrats and the
Republicans followed the practice of
making leases.
The Democrats will say, of course,
that they made their leases in the
open and asked for bids. But should
the government’s reserves be leased
to private interests? One day Presi
dent Harding in a conference with
newspaper men discussed the sub
ject tb some extent. The criticism
of the Teapot Dome lease had begun
to develop and there was talk of an
investigation by the senate. Mr.
Harding declared .with vehemence
that it was all right to talk about
preserving the oil for the navy, but
if nobody would drill the wells there
wouldn’t be any oil, and that if the
lands adjacent were being tapped
by private companies the govern
ment’s supply might be drained.
Harding Against Control
Mr. Harding never believed in
government development of its own
oil lands. He didn’t want the gov
ernment to go into the oil business.
He believed that if the government
entered into a. contract with private
concerns which would find it to their
advantage to invest their money in
drilling operations, both purposes
would be served —the navy would
get its oil and the private companies
would make their expenses and a re
turn on their investment.
Granting the principle of this ar
gument as sound, the question then
turns on whether the private com
panies got more than their share of
the oil and made a return entirely
out of proportion to the investment
they applied. And shouldn’t the gov
ernment have gotten more out of it
all?
Experts are at odds on these
points, but the controversy will real
ly turn on unprejudiced testimony
of experts. If it is proved that the
interests of the government were
neglected it will make the issue of
clean government even more con
spicuous in the campaign. There
are signs of cleaning already. The
administration is probing itself,
making rules for the conduct of gov
ernment business based upon tl e
disclosures made. Clean governmer t
is a trite issue, but it /will have .
' concrete significance in the 1924 po
litical campaign.
CHESPARSENATE IS
OEM CROP PERIL.
FARMERS ME TOLD
A statement warning farmers that
cheap calcium arsenate, not up to
the standards required by the state
and federal government, is being
sold in Georgia, was issued Saturday
by Ira W. Williams, state entomolo
gist. Farmers who buy such cal
cium arsenate will lose their cotton
crops, as well as waste their money,
it was said.
“It has recently been reported to
me,” Mr. Williams said, "that cheap
calcium arsenate, that is, calcium
arsenate not up to the standard re
quired by the state and federal gov
ernment, is being sold in Georgia at
a very low price. We are very anx
ious that the farmers of the state
have' calcium arsenate at the lowest
possible price, and we are doing ev
erything that we can to bring this
about, but it must meet the require
ments.
“The farmer who buys calcium ar
senate that does not meet the re
quirements is not only throwing his
money away, but will lose his crop.
“The Georgia state board of ento
mology shipped out of the state last
year several cars that did not meet
requirements. It is not always pos
sible’ for us to catch and analyze all
calcium arsenate, which is sold often
times in the state without our knowl
edge.
“We are therefore writing this
article to warn the farmers against
buying calcium arsenate' from any
thing but reputable companies, and
those companies that have been ap
proved the state board of ento
mology.
“Do not buy calcium arsenate that
does not. have the inspection tag of
the department attached to each
package or drum.”

FATHER OF CO-OPS
TO POINT FLAWS
IN FEDERAL POLICY
WASHINGTON, Feb. B.—After an
address by Secretary Wallace, Ihj
National Council of Farmers’ Co
operative Marketing association here
today was asked by Aaron Sapiro,
organizer of the first co-op associa
tion, and prominent in organizit.g
many others, to draw up a “bill
particulars” criticizing the agricul
ture department’s policy toward co
operative marketing.
The secretary had pledged support
to the co-operative marketing move
ment “within its legitimate scope.”
and had declared that criticism of
the department was due to “lack of
knowledge of legal and moral limita
tions” that surround it. He said the
department could not support any
specific form of contract, but could
pass on to the farmer the informa
tion it had compiled.
“Most of the criticism is unffjust,”
he stated. “We have criticism from
those who feel that the department
is not sympathetic enough with co
operative marketing and on the oth
er hand from those who feel it is too
sympathetic.” He then called on his
critics to subhit a detailed state
ment of their complaints.
At the close of the address, Mr.
Sapiro asked if the secretary would
answer a few questions there and
then. Mr. Wallace replied that he
was in a hurry to get to a cabinet
meeting, but would return later.
After he Lad left, Mr. Sapiro called
an executive committee meet.ng to
consider a “bill of particulars.”
Former Governor Frank O. Low
den, of Illinois, in an address yester
day charged “certain subordinates”
in the department with being hostile
toward the co-operativo marketing
movement.

111. S. WILL CULL LAST
WITNESS IN COOPER
TRIAL ON MONDAY
WILMINGTON, N. C., Feb. 9.
I (By the Associated Press.) —Testi-
' mony today in the trial of Lieu
! tenant Governor W. B. Cooper and
Thomas E. Cooper, in federal dis
, trict court, ending the first week of
the hearing, paved the way for the
appearance Monday of the govern
ment’s final witness, by which the
prosecution will seek to prove its
charge that the Cooper brothers
conspired in alleged violations of the
national banking laws and to em
bezzle and misapply funds of the
Commercial National Bank of Wil
mington, of which they were re
spectively chairman of the board of
directors and president.
H. R. Tull, agent of the federal
department of justice, is the wit
ness upon whom the prosecution is
depending to link ,up the vast quan
tity of evidence already introduced.
Investigations made by Tull, after
the closing of the bank, led to the
arrest of the defendants and of Hor
ace C. Cooper, cashier of the de
funct bank, and son of the lieuten
ant governor, and Clyde W. Lassi
ter, who are also under indictment.
For the first time since the trial
started, the prosecution placed on
the stand a depositor who testified
to having "lost everything” in the
failure of the bank. She was Mrs.
Cuthbert Martin, widow of a for
mer vice president of the bank, who
said that all of her husband’s estate
and more than $5,000 of her per
sonal funds were entrusted to the
bank at the time of its failure. Mrs.
Martin testified that Lieutenant
Governor Cooper was administrator
of her husband’s estate, that she
had become dissatisfied with his
methods in handling it, and had
sought' to have herself named ex
ecutrix. A legal action relating to
this controversy was brought be
fore Judge Connor in which he ruled
that the federal court did not have
jurisdiction.
Most of Saturday was spent in in
troducing records of the Commercial
National and a large stack of ledg
ers and other books was added to
the great quantity of documentary
evidence already introduced.
Testimony yesterday was to the
effect that a large block of the
stock with" a par value of $43,000
had been sold to the citizens of
Wilmington a few months before
the doors of the bank were opened.
Several witnesses testified that the
stock had been sold to them by
Thomas E. Cooper, who told them,
they testified, that he was doing
them a favor to let them have it
at a bargain of SIOO per share as it
was worth more than that and that
their names were on a “list of prom
inent citizens” who would be allow
ed to become stockholders in the
I bank. These same witnesses testi
fied that a few months later re
ceivers for the then defunct bank
called on them to pay par value as
sessments on their holdings.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala., Feb. 8,-rAlf
Winchester was acquitted at his
trial here late Thursday on a charge
of murder in connection with the
finding of the charred remains of a
young woman in a burned negro
church near here last October. The
jury was out one hour and a half.
Acquittal of Winchester came last
night after the jury during the day
had heard a maze of circumstantial
evidence presented by the state in
an effort to connect Winchester
with the case,
Mose Ashley. Tuscaloosa police
man, testified that he saw Winches
ter alight froma Birmhigahm train
in company with a woman on the
night of the fire. Mrs. M. Butter
man, of Bessemer, Ala., said that
the bar pin found in the ashes of
the church was similar to the one
worn by Irene Hughes, of Bessemer,
whom the state attempted to prove
was the victim in the case. Sam
Simmons, a Bessemer merchant, tes
tified that the steel frame of a suit
case found in the burned building
was similar to one he sold Irene
Hughes.
Winchester denied any connection
whatsover with the case.
Magnus to Attempt
Comeback as Milker;
McCormick Is Victim
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Having
been bested in a milking contest by
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, a
“dirt farmer,” Senator Magnus
Johnson, Minnesota, today chal
lenged a “city chap” as his next
opponent.
Senator Medill McCormick, Illi
nois, is the intended victim. Al
though McCormick is best known as
a politician, he lays claim to “dht
farmer” distinction, and is not like
ly to prove a “cinch” for Johnson.
Perhaps unwittingly, Johnson is
giving McCormick an advantage in
the contest. One of his stipulations
is that Holstein cows shall produce
the milk. McCormick owns a big
farm in Illinois, stocked with Hol
steins.

LLOYD GEORGE SAYS
RE DID NOT CHARGE
WILSON WITH PLOT
LONDON, Feb. 8. —An alleged in
terview with ex-Premier Lloyd
George, purporting to criticize the
actions of the late ex-President Wil
son at PaTis, has been repudiated.
“I did not give the interview.”
Lloyd George said in a formal state
ment.
Three nations—France, America
Britain —had been aroused by
the allegation that Lloyd George
bad accused Wilson and Clemenceau
of making a secret pact regarding
French occupation of the Rhineland
while the British statesman was
absent in London.
‘‘Mr. Wilson, I need hardly say,
acted in perfect loyalty,” LloyJ
George said, “and it cannot be im
puted as blame of either Wilson or
Clemenceau that I was called to
England when these grave matters
were under discussion. The fact
that Wilson and Clemenceau had
come to an agreement during my
absence was communicated to me
upon my return.”
