TRIBES NENACING AFGHAN CAPITAL Kban Fights Fariously to Retain Seat on Throne ~ Moscow, Jan, 26 M—Kabul, capi- tal of Afghanistan, was menaced to- day by the Jalalabad tribes. Hati- bullah Khan was fighting despera#ta- ly to retain his seat on the throae which he ascended scarcely more than & week ago. The Jalalabad forces were under’ the leadership of Alliajmethan (presumably Ali Ahmed Khan, for- mer governor of Kabyl and one time ally of former King Amanullah.) Habibullah sent an- advance guard | to deal with this threat to his reign. ‘The two forces fought a pitched bat- tle near the summit of Khakijevar and the king's forces were routed, flceing precipitantly toward Kabul. Following up this advantage the main Jalalabad force reached Jeg- dalik, 30 miles from Kabul on one of the main routes. ° hey sent out a flanking column which crossed the region of the Tarmo and attacked Jebulseraj. This created a new menace to the north of the capital. To the south of Kabul the popu- lation of the fertile Locar river vil-| ley has not submitted to the new governmient and In this lies a pos- sible further threat to Habibullah, The Bovlet foreign office today de- niwd reports that Leon Trotzky had| an army under him near the Afghan border. It characterized the report as sheer nonsense, Mohammed Nadir Khan is willing to return to Afghanistan and at- tempt to rule from the troubled throne "despite anything” if called by popular vote. Nadir, who has been occupying a villa near Nice, France, has been proposed by some of his countryman as possibly a satisfactory ruler of the Afghans. He has been bedrig- den or confined to the house for sev- eral years, Nadir said .former King Amanul- lah made his greatest mistake when he failed to realize that Rome was not built in a day, being filled @th *“a desire to catch up with Europe immediately.” “Afghanistan,” he explained, “is tolerant about everything except the Mohammedan religion. We are a peaceable folk until you scratch our religious )eliefs. Ior example, I speak English with an Oxford ac- cent, but 1 do not believe that wom- en should appear on the streets un- veiled. ITALIAN NAVAL PROGRAN IS BENT ON PEACE Yesterday Is in Accord with Nation's Desire for Peace, Rome, Jan. 26 UP—The newspaper Popolo Di Roma eaid today that the naval building program decided upon yesterday was entirely in ac- cordance. with Italy's peacefully bent maritime policy. Italy, said the paper, does not in- tend to “follow in the wake of cer- tain crazy naval policies practiced in various parts of the world, not- withstanding the spirit and letter of various treaties designed for the limitation of armaments.” The paper insisted the decision to build ships did not mean feverish construction but “keeps faith with our strong and serene line of con. duct, conaclous of the responsibility | falling on Italy for the defense of our extremely long uncovered coast lines and our colonies in the Medi- terranean, Africa, in the East and | the Red sea. In fact no accentuation is made In the normal rhythm of Italian construction. x x x x | “The government only wished to | reconfirimi its desire to persue at least up to 1930 a program of con- struction of exclusively light craft. | Big shipa do not right now interest our navy, although the Washington agreement concedes 176,000 tons of capital ships. At any rate we have |in line only four units of this kind the Caio Duilio, the Andrea Dorla, the Camillo Cavour and the Giulio Cesare whose tonnage together is barely 87,000.” OKLAHOMA PROBE IS CONTINUED TODAY (Continued from First Page) activities of the highway department, ting testimony of three division cers of the highway department that they bought considerable high- hinery from Reed Scott, brother of Mrs. Hammonds, Asked if the salesman with the “best pull” did not get most of the highway business, L. C., Bernard of Oklahoma City, one of the engineers, answered, “Yes," also answering in the affirmative when Edward Box, attorney for the committee, asked him if he didn't understand it was “better to give Scott a share of the business.” IVE Your Boy more than one chance OW to give a son the fairest chance in life is a problem which troubles many fathers. Should the lad be protected against having too much money under his control? Or should he be left to sink or swim with his A solution that has brought many fathers peace of mind is to place the boy's portion undera trust agreement whereby he is given supervision of it gradually under responsible super- vision. Thus he will learn by experi- ence to value the use and worth of capital, to distinguish it from income. May we discuss with you a trust agreement to assure your son more than one chance to be a success? CAPITAL, SURPLUS AND UNDIVIDED PROFITS $1,775,000.00. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD bA'l'URDAY JANUARY as, 1929, E. J. Franklin, amociated with a bonding company, testified his com- pany hired James Armstrong, uncle of Mrs, Hammonds and political and legal adviser to Johnston after Arm- strong became associated with the governpr, “You saw an opportunity for bus- iness?” he was asked. “Yes, it was an opportunity,” he replied.

It became known yesterday that President Coolidge still felt that the tine clause should be eliminated and this is thought to have given oppo- nents of the bill in its present form a further rallying point. There had been discussion of the time clause, previously, and Senator Borah said if that were stricken out he would not oppose the bill. The president holds the opinion that the time clause should be elim- inated because of budget consider- ations, and not because of any ob- Jection on his part to the building of the cruisers in {he near future. Kegardless, he is insistent that thc clause should be taken out of the nieasure. Not Altered The president’s stdnd has not al- tered the determination of Chair- an Hale of the naval affairs,com- mittee, to leave the time clause in- tact. The fight over that particular scction of the measure came up when the bill was passed by the house last year. President Coolidge expressed his views then, but the House left in the provision requiring that construction on the 15 cruisers provided for begin within three years. One reason why Senator Hale de- sires the time clause lcft in is be- cause it would do away with the ne- cessity for a conference on the meas- ure with the house if the rest of the Provisions go through intact. Hale and other supporters of the bill also fecel that repeal of the time clause might delay indefinitely = the con- struction of the ships and make the program to strengthen the navy of dubious effect. Want Increase y Another point at issue that has been more or less in the background is the desire of some senators to de- crease the number of cruisers called for in the bill to 10 or &. Senator Bingham of Connecticut, yesterday raised a new question to be thresl.ed out when he proposed an amendment to the house provi- slons requiring the building of cight of the cruisers in government navy yards, He would leave where and by whom the cruisers are to be built to the secretary of the navy. A sidelight on the cruiser discus- sion was President Coolldge's atti- tude toward Senator Borah's amend- ment to the vill for the calling of an in‘crnational conference for the co- dification of maritime law. As a the- ory, the presidert thinks the plan is splendid but he doubts its feasibility und he also doubts semate ratifica- tion of any Lr-a‘ies coming from a conference of that nature. Begin Investigation Of Fatal Accident New Haven, Jan. 26 (UP)—Cor- oner James J. Corrigan began pre- liminapy investigation today of a col- lision’ between an automobile and a train at North Haven last night in which a father and daughter were killed. The victims were Edward W. Ben- nett, 39, and Kdna Bennett, 17, both. of North Haven, According to police, Bennett drove into the train on the Sackett's Poing Road grade crossing, which is un- guarded. After striking a north- bound express, it is believed by rail- road investigators that the wrecked sedan in which the victims had been riding was struck by a south bound train. Bennett aparently was killed in- stantly. The girl died at Meriden hospital shortly after admittance, WELL BABY CONFERENCE ‘The schedule for the Well Bahy conference conducted by the Visiting Nurse Association for the weck of January 28, will be as follows:— Tuesday, 47 Ellis strcet, (North- end school), ‘weighing conference, 2:00-3:00.
