NAVY O RETIRE 3 SHIPS AHEAD OF REATY SCHEDULE Plans to Lay Up Utah, Flor- ida and Wyoming at Sav- ing of $4,000,000 Year. VITAL DISMANTLING WOULD WAIT ON JAPAN Work of Completing Scrapping to Start When London Pact Is Ratified. The battleships Utah, Florida and | Wyoming are to be retired from the | United States Fleet about October 1, without necessarily awaiting Japan's ratification of the London naval treaty, sccording to a tentative decision dis- .closed yesterday by the Navy Depart- ment. The treaty right to keep one ot these ships in commission for a year and the other two for 18 months after the treaty goes into effect is to be waived, regardiess of whether Great IAUTO ‘BEATS 'FOOT POLICE Every “Pavement Pounder” in | | Precinct to Be Every foot patrolman in the second precinct will be temporarily replaced by automobile policemen in an experiment of -doing all patrol work with automo- biles which will be tried out late this month under a scheme now being_ de- veloped by Police Commissioner Her- bert B. Crosby. Should the scheme succeed, it may spread to other parts of the city. If it is a failure, it will be discarded. As far as is known it has never been tried out in any other large city. Sn August 13 the Police Department will open bids for the purchase of some new automobiles. Commissioner Cros- by's plans are to assign some of these to his experimental work in the second precinct and abolish the “beats” now covered oy the precinct’s regular “pave- ment pounders.” be manned by two policemen each, and new “beats” worked out and assigned to the motor patrolmen. Reasons Auto Is Faster. Crosby reasons that the automobile is faster than the pedestrian, and that a motcrized precinct can either cover the same territory with fewer men, or a larger territory with the same number of men. The light automobile is now in extensive use in the department in such outlying incts as the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth, In those Britain and Japan, the, other principal | treaty powers, follow suit. | ‘The plan is designed to save lbuul.i $4,000,000 to the United States 'l‘rel.s-‘ ury this year and also as a gesture of | international confidence. * It assumes | that no situation could arise in view of present world conditions which would find the United States Navy handi- capped in the next 18 months for the lack of these warships. It was the first official word that the United States would proceed imme- diately to reduce its battleship fleet to the uitimate treaty level of 15 units. ‘The alternative would be to reduce hand in hand with the other two iowers. first going from the present 'vel of 18 American, 20 British and 10 Japanese units to a basis of 17, 18 and 10 units a year hence and six mmonths later to the final treaty limit of 15—15—9. Dismantling To Be Delayed. While the Utah, Florida and Wyo- ming are to be laid up soon after the end of the Naval Reserve foreign cruise, the dismantling cf vital equipment will not be started until Japan has actually ratified. In the expectation that Japan will raitfy within the next month or so, however, fuel and supplies will be taken of the ships in the meantime. The treaty goes into effect as between the United States, Great Britain and Japan when the last of them shall have rati- fird, and the first two of these powers @§iready have done so. Once the treaty is in effect, work will be started toward 5 the Florida and ry the and Wyoming “unfit for warlike serv- ice.” The Wyoming, stripped down, is 1o be held in reserve for a training ship and the Utah for a ta CCLhIK,IlI lowed by the treaty. ere is still a t possibility that the Arkansas tht be substituted for the Wyoming, but the Navy's present dispositicn is to remove the Wyoming rather than the Arkansas from the fleet at this time. ‘They are sister ships and the treaty makes the decision optional with the United States Government. Within not more than a year two battleships named in the treaty mnst be taken out of the British fleet and started toward the scrap heap, to be followed out of that fleet #ix months later by three others, two of which are condemned to completed scrapping within the specifie perfod of 30 months.

Saves Maintenance Cost. Underlying th> American decision to| fetire the Utah, Wyoming and Florida | a year to eighteen months ahead of schedule is the view that the Govern- ment might well save the cost of main- | taining them so long as it involves no | actual sacrifice to the Navy. The fact is_that, with new cruisers coming in and the enlisted personnel limited, the Navy is only too glad to lay up the condemned warships at the earliest possible date.

Crosby's scheme as it now stands would not dis- turb this work. It is in addition to the present functions of the police car and absolutely does away with foot patrol- ling. . Plan Has Disadvantages. Certain disadvantages of the motor- ized patrolmen have bebn suggested to him. It has been said that he would not be so handy on a chase of a sus- pect through & narrow alley—that traveling faster there would be less op- portunity for him to notice what is going on—that im certain localities traffic is so-dense that thers would be difficulty in navigating the car and parking it in sudden emergencies and so forth. Crosby dveg not deny any of these, but replies that the scheme is an experiment, and that if the defects outweigh the advantages, it will be easy enough. to discard it. The second precinct was chosen for the experiment because its command- ing officer, Capt. O. T. Davis, fell in with the scheme readily when it was broached to him and expressed the view that it would probably work well and that he would like to have a chance to_try it out. The second precinct is bounded on the morth by S street, on the south by K street, on the west by Fifteenth street and on the east by Fourth street northeast. The station house is on Fifth street between L and M streets. P ZUTA 50TH KILLED IN1930 BY GANGS, Chicagoan, Coolly Slaugh- tered, Lived Month Longer | Than Was Scheduled. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, August 2.—Jack Zuta lived an extra month. His stay of gangland's sentence ended last night when & squad of executioners drove up to a Summer resort at Dela- field, Wis., for him. Now “Bugs” Moran and Joe Alello must look for a new col- lection manager for their North Side liquor trade. His death made gangland cut the fiftieth notch in its 1930 col- lective gun stock as against 48 all last year. Zuta, deserter from the Capone ranks, repug"d plotter of the death of Jake | Lingle, Tribune reporter and friend of Al Capone, knew his time was coming. He said so a month when he was discharged from the Detectives Bureau and asked for an escort across the Loop. | At State and Jackson streets his enemies overtook the squad car and showered 1t with lead Two innocent bystanders were hit, one killed, but Zuta slunk out of sight unhurt. Registered Under Alias. That was July 1. On August 1 he had no chance. He had registered four days ago at one Delafield hotel under an alias, J. H. Goodman, He had moved to the Lakeview Hotel. There they found him. The five killers transacted their sav- age business in the matter-ofyfact gang- They stalked across the dance and girls glid- the patter of a mechanical or- chestra, Zuta idly fed a nickel into the machine. “Keep out of the way,” the leader said (op bystanders, and sent a bullet into Zuta’s body. While horrified dancers and swimmers watched the five dispatched a volley of unnecessary but convincing lead into the gang- ster's prostrate form and then, as cooly as they had entered, left. ‘Once more thg police are seeking Ted Newberry, the erstwhile boss of Moran’s whisky bureau, now an ally of Al Ca- pone, who was reported to be in Chi- cago. They have been looking for New- berry since the first attempt to kill Zuta—and last night, they believe, he may have had the assistance of Capone marksmen. Linked With Lingle Death. Zuta was credited by police thebrists | with inspiring the assassination of Lingle, friend of Al Capone and for- mer Police Commissioner Russell. Through Lingle's death there came about the retirement of Russell from the commissionership and the end of an alleged liaison between gang boss and police chief through a reporter, ac- cording to published reports. It was through Zuta's scheming that Newberry lost his job with the Moran gang and Zuta's {riend, Solly Vision, (Continued on Page 4, Column 2.) 33 TAKEN IN RAID ing to By the Associated Press NEW YORK, August 2.—A dispatch from Geneva to the New York Times | Tep that & party of monks from the | great St. Bernard Monastery, seeking | the body of & young woman lost in| the snows of Barrasson Peak, were fired | upon yesterday by a Fascist guard sta- | tioned on the Swiss. n frontier.

The dispatch says that the Fascist guard resented the fact that some of the monks had recently guided a group of anti-Fascists escaping from Italy. s i o S T BORROW 5,000 Watch New York Police Break Alleged Gambling Ring. NEW YORK, August 2 (#).—Thirty- three men were arrested today in a police raid on an alleged gambling hall in the Times Square section. Po-: lice estimated that 5,000 persons Wit~ nessed the rald.

Secretary Mellon has ordered an fnt | vestigation to determine for the Gov- ernment directly whether Russian goods offered on the American market are produced by convict labor. The Treasury, it was indicated yester- day, is not to depend in future upon hearsay evidence, as in the case of Rus- sian pulpwood destined to American paper manufacturers held up at Ameri- can ports for a week and released on a Treasury order yesterday. The spectacle of indecision in the pulpwood case is alien to the Treasury’s way of doing business, it was indicated, and will probably not be repeated. By what method the Treasury will gather data on the true origin of hun- dreds of Russian articles and products | offered to American trade is not dis- | closed. Texas Company Complains. Secretary Mellon, it was learned, de- | clined to embargo Russian lumber on insufficient evidence that it was pro- duced by convict labor. This was prior | to the issuance of an order by Sey- mour Lowman, Assistant Secretary of | the Treasury, barring Russian pulp-| we 00d. Complaint_that Russian lumber was | of convict labor origin_came to the | Treasury from Senator Tom Connally, Demoerat, of Texas, acting in behalf of the Long-Bell Lumber Co. of Doucette, Tex., against the Dutton Co., an im- | porting competitor. As in the case of | rulp\vood, several cargoes of Soviet!| umber at Gulf ports were held up pending investigation, In a letter to Senator Connally, Sec- retary Mellon said there was not suffi- clent proof that the lumber was of con- viet origin, and added: “There was positive evidence to the effect that they (the lumber cargoes) were not convict-made while, on the other hand, all we had to support our contention that the goods should be excluded was the announced program of the Soviet government and copies of affidavits from escaped prisoners who have been working in forests at a place remote from Archangel where the car- | soes originated. Continue Investigation. “We are continuing our investiga- tion,” said Mr. Mellon, “and if you can assist us in establishing the fact that the lumber being imported by the | Dutton Co. is convict-manufactured, we would appreciate it very much.” The revocation of orders detaining | both pulpwood and lumber in ships in American ports is not to be regarded as a precedent, according. to Treasury | advices today. American importers will ‘be obliged to protect themselves in as- certaining whether Russian or other | foreign goods are convict-made before signing contracts in future. The Treas- ury is expected to have its own direct | information regarding such imports in the near future and once cargoes are banned on such evidence, there will be no_appeal. | Pulpwood cargoes released by Assist- | ant Secretary Lowman yesterday were assumed to have been derived from free labor after both Russian exporters and American importers had given evidence that this was true. | EIGHT KILLED IN CRASH OF ARKANSAS TRAINS e Cotton Belt Accident at McNeil Takes Toll of Five Trainmen and Three Hoboes. By the Associated Press. MCNEIL, Ark., August 2.—Eight men were killed in the head-on collision of two freight trains of the St. Louis Southwestern Raflway Co. on a curve of_the main line here today. ~he dead were H. W.

Playing hide-and-seek with Wash- ington police, a youth sought as the | third member of the trio which Friday morning abducted a young runner for the Mount Vernon Savings Bank and robbed him of a $4,000 pay roll, last night still was at liberty, having eluded several traps set by police and spoiled what otherwise was a quick bit of work in clearing up the robbery. Police are looking for P. C. Embrey, implicated, they claim, by the confes- sions of his two alleged confederates, who are in custody, and by other| threads of evidence obtained in the in- | vestigation of the robbery. Last night police were without a clue to the whereabouts of Embrey, but be- lieved him still to be hiding in the Capital after haling made at least one | unsuccessful attempt to escape into| Maryland. Two Held Without Charge. Meanwhile police are holding, with- out formal charges, the two youths they say have confessed taking part in the robbery. They are Morris C. Beck, 18, 2523 Fourteenth street, and Carl Ben- east. Both youths are locked in cells at the Thirteenth precinct. How the trio planned to make a much larger haul, $30,000 which the young runner earlier Friday morning had carried from the Treasury to his also was told, police say, in the con- fessions of Davis and Beck. The original plan of the robbery, | police say, was for the runner to be quietly persuaded to enter their car with the $30,000 and driven off to some secluded place, relieved of the money and then set free. Lost In Traffic Tangle. In their machine the trio is alleged to have followed the runner to the , watched him come out and then take up the trail again. Just as they were about to pounce upon him, the police say, their car became delayed in a traffic tangle and the plan went awry. The trio, however, kept on the trail of the runner, and when he next ap- Ye‘red coming from the bank they fol- lowed him, pounced on him, took him for a little ride out Sixteenth street, then took the money, a pay roll destined for the Union Co-operativé Insurance Co. offices, near Fifteenth and M streets. Embrey slipped through the first police net yesterday morning at 11 o'clock when he failed to keep a pre. arranged rendezvous with Beck at the Earle or Fox theaters. Police had in- formation that Embrey expected to meet his alleged confederates either at the Earle Theater or in front of the Fox Theater. Plain clothes men were stationed in the vicinity of both play- houses, with accurate descriptions of the man, obtained from the police “rogues gallery.” But Embrey failed | to keep his appointment and police set guz on a different tack to apprehend im. Recover $400 of Loot. An_extraordinary lookout order was broadcast to captains of all precincts, to police of nearby towns and to dealers in second-hand automobiles. The look- out stressed the importance of the case, and called for the utmost diligence on the part of police officers. Police had seized about $400 believed to be part of the money taken in the robbery following the arrest of Beck and Davis. Last night they believed the rest of the $4,000 was in Embrey's pos- session. Police next were hot on the trail of a man believed to b> Embrey, who sought to buy an automobile from L. M. Wal- den, constable at Hyattsville, who also works in an automobile agency there. Late yesterday afternoon a man an- gwering the general description of Em- brey walked into the Hyattsville auto- mobile agency and negotiated with Wal- den for the purchase of a car. The man, according to Walden, appearcd nervous. He asked to see some second- hand cars, but after looking at a few left hurriedly. A few minutes later, H. G. Machen, sergeant on the county police force, and Constabls Norgle of Bladensburg arrived with a_description of the man wanted in Washington, which, they said, tallied in all respects with the man who had sought to buy a machine from Walden. Washington police were notified that the man when last seen was headed They were furnished with a description of the car he was driving. | Couple Will Continue to Live | By the Associated Press. ‘Il City and county police patrolled the ~(Continued on Page 2, Column 1.) gl“ | il \nl I} "fl m ON THE REPUBLICAN PROSPECT RIVER.
