oo | AIRPLANES URGED Naval Bill Amendment Calls for Four Ships to Cost Not ! Over $24,600,000 Each. Construction of e fleet of modern high-speed airplane carriers for the United States Navy is proposed in an amendment to the naval appropri- ations bill introduced yesterday by Senator Gerry of Rhode Island, demo- crat. It is proposed that four of these vessels be constructed to cost not more than $24.600.000 each. Before the House naval committee Representative Britten, ~ republican, Tlinois, and Representative Oliver, democrat. Alabama, announced that they would present bills, each pro- widinig for two airplane carriers. Officers Urge Action. All of the naval officers and Brig, Gen. Mitchell of the Army air service, who have been testifying before the House committee for the last two days, have stressed the importance of i val lane carriers e aaibie. Cea, Mitchell said ¥ ¢ that American aviation of- ficers had little knowledge of the uses of the proposed vessels because Great Uritain, the only available source of information, is keeping the data secret. " Representative Oliver's bill would set $30,000,000 each the limit of cost for the two carriers and would provige that until money Wwas appro- priated for the vessels none of the Tund authorized for the great battle- ships Massachusetts and Towa, already under_contract, could be available. e Britten proposal would divert $%,000,000 already authorized for twelve destroyers, one transport and sig fleet submarines for the construc- .t of the two airplane carrier: Mitchell Seeks Service Unity. Gen. Mitchell concluded his testi- fmony before the house committee yes- terday in advocacy of a united air mervice. He told the members that the plan would save the government money and would place the air service undef flying officers, who would be interested in developing every possi- dility of the air service. In warfare, under present conditions in both the Army and Navy, he said, aviation is under officers who are unsympathetic. Members of the Navy general board send Capt. T. T. Craven, director of naval aviation, will present the Navy's side of the case in opposition to the proposed united service Monday. The Senate naval committee yester- \day. continued hearings on Senator Borah's resolution to suspend naval building for six months while experts study types of ships. An unfavorable on the resolution has already ‘been’ made by a subcommittee. Rear Admirals W. S. Sims and Bradley A. Fiske, appearing before the committee, yesterday in executive session, op- pesed the resolution. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. #¢ Mark’s Non-sectarian Club will m rsday evening in the parish “3d and A streets.

Objections raised by Judge Hardison of the Police Court to the form of search warrant used in liquor raids. and which for a time have curtailed the activities of prohibition enforce- ment agents, have been met in a new warrant drawn up by United States Commissioner Isaac R. Hitt, after careful study of the points raised by the jurist and the laws and prece- dents involved. “The old forms have been used for a long time,” saild Commissioner Hitt, “but some of the courts have ques- tioned the sufficiency of those affi- davits and search warrants. In order to meet those objections forms have been drawn 80 as to cover every pos- sible objection. that has been raised 1o them. I feel sure that whereever there iz a search made under these mew forms both the warrant and the Search will be upheld by the court.” ‘The eommissioner added that so far o was concerned and had ‘the power to bring it about, the national gflnfl!lon act and all other federal iws will be enforced in the District of Columbia.

Washington is to have a horse show every .month of the year under the auspices of the American Remount Association, it was announced last night at the third of the association’s door meets held in the Riding and Hunt Club at 22d and P streets. The plan was adopted yesterday at the quarterly meeting of the board of directors of the association and is in line with the organization’s policy to revive horseback riding as a recrea- tion and stimulate interest generally in the development of thoroughbreds as a national asset. It was etated that the winter shows will be -held in the Riding and Hunt Club while the cutdoor exhibitions will be staged at the National Capital Horse Show grounds near the south end of High- way bridge. 2 At last night's show children and gray-haired men and women par- ticipated in the competitions, while the galleries were filled with society folk who applauded their efforts. The enthusiasm manifested by both riders and onlookers indicated mounted sports may become so popular here as to make Washington the premier horse city of the country. R. H. Williams, jr., president of the association; Pierre Lorillard, jr., and David M. k_of New York. all of whom came to Washington yesterday. for the directors’ meeting, Temained over for the horse show and officiated as judges. Victor Mather of Phil delphia_and Arthur B. Hancock of Paris, Ky., a member of the Ken- tucky Jockey Club, were other direc- tors from out of town who attended the meeting. Col. Jmes Shelley of the remount service was in charge of the horse show program, apd ran the events through rapidly, notwithstanding there were large fields of contestants. He was assisted by Maj. Charles L. Scott of the remount service and A. A. el a secretary of the remount on. The jumping events furnished plenty of thrills, and several riders had hard falls. Lieut. M. E. Jones had several mounts and gave an impressive exhi- bition of horsemanship. The veteran rider, James Murphy, also demon- strated that he has not forgotten how to take the jumps. In the saddle horse class Murphy won a blue. In-and-out jumps and the difficult trple bar tested the ability of the timber-toppers as probably no other jumping contests that have been staged in the ciub's small tanbark inclosyre. Some of the horses negotiated thé difficult obsta- cles with perfect scores, and the jump- ing for the most part was clean. In the opening number a children’s stal] race attracted a large number of contestants. This was a weeding out contest in which there was always one stall less than the number of riders. Sidney Neale on Dolly was the most alert and always found a stall for her mount until she finally won the last one. W. West on Brown Cap and Lillian Sanger on Rex got second and third places, respectively. The second event was a bending race in which Army officers and civilian riders piloted their horses at break- neck speed around poles placed twelve feet apart. The winner turned up in Lieut. J. J. Waters, who rode Gen. March. Second honors went to Col. H. N. Cootes, while Lieut. Barden finished third. James Murphy’'s mount, Gallantry, outclassed his field in the saddle class, in which there were twenty entries. Second and third places went to Lieut. J. J. Waters, on John, and Lillian Sanger, on Dennis Upson’s Revelle captured the in_and-out jump, with Col. Cootes fin- ishing second on Zeppelin, and Lieut. Jones third, on Rote. In the triple- bar contest, the closing number, Capt. Calvin De Witt got down in front on Giesmont, with Lieut. Jones placing on Smith and ColL Cootes landing his consistent jumper, Zeppelin, in —_— LECTRES G FLGRA OF BERUAN PENMSILA Ivar Tidestrom of Bureau of Plant Industry Gives Bird’s-Eye View of Spain.
