U, . T0 PROTECT NAVAL STANDING (Continued From First Page) which the main differences of the conference appeared to be centere are only incidental to the main is- sue about the size of a navy which England would require this country to build under its plan. Mr. Cool- idge in ealling the conference,- it was recalled, had expressed the hope that a reduction of the size of navies of the three nations and a resultant economy in their gov- ernmental expenditures would be evolved together with a concom- mitant development of peace and better understanding between the three countries. The British proposals likewise, | according to the views of Washing- son officials, would be of no advan- tage to the United States nor pro- duce economy in naval comstruc- tion. One official, analyzing th plan, said that, while America was asked to build from 12 to 16 ten thousand ton cruisers which its navy needs, the British also pro- posed the construction or retention of pearly 200,000 tons of smaller cruisers which it does not need nor PROTEST DECREE 1N HURDER CASE Kbout 130 Friends of Saceo and Vanzetti at Meeting Here About 150 sympathizers of *Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti who {out the tallest standard | ark, N. J,, and ascended it to estab- are awaiting the decision of Gove: nor Fuller of Massachusetts in con- | nection with their execution - murder, gathered last evening United Hall to voice a protest against the intention of Massachu- | ‘setts ‘to- electrocute the men. The speaker of the evening, M. A. Masmano of Boston, outlined the | | history of the case, pointing out how | the state’s case was weakened by the crumbling of circumstantial « evidence which, he said, decided the issue. He stated that in his opin- fon there was a very good chance of | Governor Fuller's decision being in favor of the two men and alleged that no right minded person could declde In favor of the execution While Masmano had only words of praise for Governor Fuler, he took several chances to let fly criticism at the ability of Justice Thayer who sat during the trial of the men. No startling statements were made at the meeting, the speaker conflning himself to a history of the case and a discussion of the probable deci- slon of Governor Fuller. The crowd, which was made up mostly of Ttalians, conducted itself in an orderly manner and no heck- ling was evident during any of tl addresses. The audience was ad- dressed in both English and Italian, After the meeting, for the release of the two men wr circulated and was signed by a greater part of the audience.

J., Woman How- ever, is Given Release in Bonds £ of $17,000. New Brunswick, N. J., July 30 (P —Under indictment on charges of conapiracy to take the lives of four relatives, Miss Bessie Morse, 40 years old, of Prospect Plains, today went about her duties incidental to keeping house for her father, one of the four against whom she s al- leged to have plotted. ‘With Miss Morse was indicted Mamie Todd, Negro maid, who was taken into the family thirteen years ago out of a reform school. Bills were returned at a special session of the Middlesex county grand fury yesterday accusing both of attempts to bring about the deaths of the father, George F, Morse, 84, Bessie's sister, Mrs. El- mer Dey, the latter's husband, and Raymord Brittain, an adopted son. Prosecutor John F. Toolan, at- tributed the plot to an attempt on the part of Miss Morse to secure the half-million dollar fortune of her father, Father and daughter scoffed at the charges, both laying the allega- tions to the wild imagination of the maid. The aged man furnished $7,000 bail for his daughter the day after her arrest on June 18, and ex- pressed implicit faith in her. FLAGPOLE SITTERS BEHIND THE TIMES Simeon, a Monk, Did This Cen- turies Ago Chicago, July 30. (M—Even the history of flagpole sitting repeats itself. When “Shipwreck” Kelly picked in New- lish a world record for nonstop “flagpole sitting, he thought he had devised an entirely new invitation to fame. And when Joe Powers =et out to break Kelly's record on a staff 637 feet above Chicago’s pave- ments, he eyed “Shipwreck’s” mark as the one he had to beat. They have learned too late that the all-time record for lofty perch- ing was made 1,500 years ago, and that beside {ts 37-year duration their own records of a scant fort- night look puny indeed. Simeon, a monk, made in the fifth century the record for endur- ance sitting which still stands — only he used a pillar instead of a flagpole, and he undertook the feat not for the vaudeville contracts and advertising testimonials which lured Kelly and Powers, but for religious reasons. Even mere people gazed on Simeon than peered through rented telescopes at his modern emula- tors, and among the crowds Simeon won converts. His world record has been periled only once. A fellow named David approached fit,. but lasted only 33 years on top of his column. So many tried the feat that they'be- came a cult, called “Anchorites” or “Simeon Stylites,” but pillar- sitting became a nuisance in the tenth century and laws were pass- ed against it. Powers displafs a trace of pro- fessional scorn as he observes that Simeon's perch was but 60 feet high, a scant tenth as tall as his own. “But just the same,” he adds, “I'm glad I'm doing my act in Chicago and not under the blazing sun of Constantinople.” WORGAN NAHE WILL PASS FRON FINANGE Will Not Be Perpetuated in Bank- ing, It Is Revealed New York, July 20 (/) — Fifteen veal P.

PRODF 1S LACKING 10 CONVCT ORULA Driver Who Pushed Policeman Off Car Is Freed Adam Okula, aged 25, of 90 Al- bany avenue, who pushed Supernu- merary Officer William Temple off the running board of an automobile on Bond street last Sunday evening about §:50 o'clock, when the officer told him to get out of the car, was discharged by Judge Henry P. Roche in police court this morning on the charge of operating an automobile while under the influence of liquor. The fact that there was no evidence that Okula had been drinking, while the testimony of the state’s witnesses was conflicting, created reasonable doubt, Judge Roche said. Okula’s action in pushing the offi- cer off the automaobile was some corroboration of the officer's story, Judge Roche remarked, still there should be more proot before convic- tion on the charge, which is very 1 Policeman Smells Liquor Ofticer Temple testified that he saw the car on Broad street and suspected that the driver was un- der the influence of liquor. On Bond street he stepped onto the running board and opened the door. Okula | was alone in the car. *The smell of liquor was enough to knock you over,” the officer sald. He ordered Okula out of the car, and the latter gaid, “All right” and then pushed him oft the running board and drove off. Okula admitted he was driving the car when the officer stepped on the running board. He was arrested once, and he did not want it to happen again, 8o he pushed the offi cer oft and drove away.

From the position of the cars the officer believed Callahan had the right of way and Ginsberg failed to observe the rules of the road. In reply to Attorney Le Witt the officer said marks on the road indicated that GinsBerg’s ¢ar was just aproaching the point of intersection when the collision occurred. Callahan testified that he was driving east on Lasalle street and the other car came south on Wil- cox street. He had passed the point of intersection when the other car strubk his car. Ginsberg is a licensed driver but did not have his license with him at the time of the accldent. He produced it in court. B.

In consideration of the plea of guilty the charge was changed, Mr. Greenstein said. Michael Tronchida, aged 19, of 16 Beaver street, pleaded guilty to | the charge af speeding on Frank- lin Square. Officer W. P, Hayes ar- rested him at 11:15 yesterday morn- ing on Elm street. He drove a truck at the rate of 35 miles an hour through Franklin Square and across Main street into Elm street, the officer testified.

This remarkable telephoto picture gives a graphic view of the excursion steamer disaster in Lake Michigan, a mile off Chicago, which took a death toll of 27. The Favorite, a small excursion boat, was carrying about 75 people out into the lake to escape the oppressive heat, when a sudden squall struck it. Most of the passengers rushed to one side of the boat to escape the rain. This extra weight on one side and the strong wind caused the boat to tip over on its side. The craft then righted itself, but sank so that only its smokestack and top deck were visible as shown in the picture. Life guards rushed to the scene of the disaster and were able to rescue some people who were clinging to the wreckage. The arrow points to a group of the rescuers taking the body of a woman out of the water. In this group is Johnny Weissmuller, world famous swimmer, who . aidéd in the rescue work.

Ogilby of Trinity Warns Aguinst Extravagance Hartford, July 30—~When the pur- chase price of an automobile, plus operating costs, exceeds the amount a family can afford to pay for the benefits derived from the use of & car, it is “better to stop and think™ before buying, in the opinion of President Remsen B. Ogilby of Trinity college, Hartford. “A pros- pective owner who is not -cautious before purchese,” he says, “may not have enough caution of another sort when he gets behind the -driving wheel.” President Ogilby gives his views on the economic problems involved in the ownership of a car in an ar- ticle, “What I Should Spend for a Car,” written for the July Bulletin of the state motor vehicle depart- ment. A family should first determine how much it can pay for a car, his article says and “if its resources do not allow the luxury of & new car, of the make in mind, the dealers in used cars should be turned to with- out apology.” He frankly admits that he gets ‘keen pleasure” from driving an automobile built in 1920, which he bought in the second ‘hand market four years ago. “While the automobile has been intruding itself as a factor in fam- ily life,” says the article, “it is a property of such a peculiar nature that few people have recognized ail the financial obligations of upkeep and purchase price involved. It is time thdt the inherent. common sense and thrift characteristic of Americans should be applied to this problem. - We all recognize the temptation to desire to own 2 glis- tening new car, but age we equally quick to recognize the tragedy and the pathos of doing so on insufficient financial resources? A $4,000 car may bring a man to a destination 50 miles away five minutes before his neighbor who starts in the cheapest form of automobile avail- able. How much is that five min- utes worth?” President Ogilby does not advise against the purchase of a new car, when the family budget allows, but rather enumerates many benefits to be gained from ownership. Hiy ar- ticle works out a hypothstical case, which might be used as the bosis for determining the price of the The case is not aver- age, he explains, but is based partly upon personal experience and more upon certain available statistics, Four items are attached to the eredit side of operation of a car for a year, the article says. Those, and the amount of saving, include: Family carfare, $120; taxis, shired cars, and railroad fare for vacations, $130; dncreased radius of business opportunities, $300 (a widely vary- ing figure); health for the whole family, $250. The total credit for the year is $800. Against this thes article lists operating costs of $530. “The difference, 270, is the amount,” the article says, ‘that can be put down In the yearly budget to- wards the purchase price of an @u- tomobile. Multiply this by four to declde the momentous question as to whether. this automobile shduld be a Marmard, a Truick, a Chevo- lodge or anly a Quiver. The reason for multiplying by four is obvious. The average automobile today has a quick depreciation. At the end of four years it has practically no market value and a careful owner will see that the purchase price is written off by that time, even though the car may still be running. For a man who turns in his car for a for ‘turning in is &t Seqond .year, It is however, that the mobile may very ed over four years for the life the car. ¥ “What ‘price the B Four times $370 15 $1,080. :l‘m the sum which the head of . problems and flected in the the end o the computation works out, 'ho should turn frankly without apology to the dedlers’'in used cars.” Professor Ogllby points out that computations of this sort must naturally vary in accordance with the experience and resources of different familles. ‘“There are face tors that may enter into such cal- culgtions' In unexpected ways,” he says. “However, an estimtae of this sort may be of some value as u guide, so that a man may realize that it he purchases a more expen- sive car than is justified by some such estimate as this, he is prob- ably paying simply-for personal gratification or for family pride.” A final word for “careful thought" is contained in the conclusion of the article. President Ogilby says: “Wi are in daily touch with a ‘marvelous invéntion which has made a contri. bution of incalculable worth to our civilization. Those who are posses- sors of such a powerful engine, of comfort, convenience and efficiency, or those who want to join the class of automobile owners, should exer- cise cagful thought upon the econ. omic problems involved by the own- ership of a car and prove theme. selves worthy of this newly won ability to annihilate time and dis- tance.” | ~ School Supt. Held In Florida Flogging MacClenny, Fla., July 30 J. L.

Hodges was taken in custody on warrants sworn out by Dennison, who requested the papers to be held in abeyance pending a more com- plete investigation.

Mother Given Chance to Win Love of Children Chicago, July 30 (M—A father charged with teaching his children to dislike their mother has been or- dered by Judge Fisher of the cir- cuit court to give up custody of the children for a month in order that the mother may win back their love. The mother, Mrs. Sylvia Gerson, of New York, instituted proceedings last week against the father, San- ford Mathes, from whom she was divorced in 1925 later remarrying. At the time of the divorce, she consented to placing the children in the father's care. She sald that dur- ing the two year separation from Mathes, he embittered the children against her.

In answer to the thousamds of pe- titions reflecting opinion of a wide- ly divers ified nature which have poured into the state house the gov- ernor and council may take any one of four courses, it was pointed out today. * They say pardon the prisoners or refuse to stay the execution, and fhey may grant a commutation of sentence or decree a sccond reprieve of the death sentence. So there has mot been the slight- | est inkling of which of these four courses may be taken. Gov. Fuller since the start of his long inquiry, which included two visits.to the con- demned men at the Charleston State prison, has steadfastly refused to discuss his course or its probable outcome.
