|MAYCOMPROMISEB BY BUILDING DEADLlEST. BAT TLESHIP AFLOAT.

Washington, July 2S.-Authorization for the construction of the fastest deadliest battleship is, the compromise plan to enlarge the navy to be sug- gested by House Democrats to end the deadlock with the Senate over the naval appropriation bill.
 Construction of mammoth dread naught, with light armor plate but superlative fighting force capable ot making 8 knots an hour-the most powerful sea bulldog ever conceived is the Democratic suggestion. It will be considered tomorrow afternoon, al caucus of House Democrats.
 Senator Tillman, of South Carolina and Representative Gregg. of Texas are Democratis behind the c0Fapro- mise It is Tillman's. idea to build an all-powerful fighting machine. It is Gregg's scheme to make it the light est, speediest ship of any nation Gregg suggests that the new warship be larger and faster than the German cruiser 'Moltke''-just now the last word in warship construction.
 That the "armor plate trust is blocking ar agreement is charged by Democrats.

GERMANY'S NAVAL PROGRAM MAY FORCE - y-'s ssz
 ENGLAND TO FIGHT

E. London, July. 2S-Lord of the Admir- atty Winston ChurchilPs admission ir parliarnent that the speeding up oi warship building in England is neces- -sary because of the rapidity with which the Kaiser's fleet will grow un- der the new German navy law, is re- sponsible for deep misgivings through out Great Britain today. N The general view is that the race between England and Germany for su- premacy at sea has got to stop, Re gardless of what Germany can do England can bear the increasing cost of it's armament no longer.
 But politicians and people are di- vided as to the right course for Eng land to take. Tories want the rivalry stopped by prompt use of the present British navy to demolish Germany before it is too strong to be crushed. Then England will not have to be building neY Eshfps,
 Members df I the labor party talk of a combination of English and German workingmen to stop so much ship building in both countries 7 Churchill is at odds with his own party, the Liberal, in his big navy poll icy, and many think he will split 1t in pieces by his course.

.HERMIT'S HOME
 LOOTED IN HUNT
 FOR HIDDEN GOLD
Fairfield Authorities Per plexed By Crime in Va cant House of Dead Re cluse.
Special to The Farmer )

Fairfield, July 23-Many wild tales of the hidden wealth of Alonzo Chat terton who died, a recluse, in his home here, last week, led to a robbery in the Chatterton home last night.
 Thieves broke through the front door and ransacked the entire house looking for the treasure of the eccen- tric old hermit Those best informed as to the old mans financial condition declare that he had no wealth in his home and that his estate, estimated at $10000, is altogether in real estate.
 The authorities are in doubt as to whether the work is that of mischiev- ous boys or of desperate men. They incline to the former belief, and have already subjected several youngsters to questioning. Up to-iate this after noon no arrests had been made.

 FEDERAL JURY PROBE

Washington, July 2s-Investigatfon by a federal grand jury of the caused leading up to Judge Hanford's resis. nation, while under fire of possible impeachment, was threatened today by Representatives Berger, the Wisconsin Socialist. He said he would ask the attorney general to have a grand jury called in Seattle and if the attorney general refuses to act will introduce a resolution in the House to that end.

easily in his seat.
 Attorney Robert Mason, for the estate, quickly objected, saying that the only issue was whether Dakota Dan' is brother of William Russell and therefore the rightful co-heir. The conspiracy charge, he declared, has no bearing on the case. Attorney Scharton, with heat, arose before Ma son was seated and said:
 'tI ask you to state whether Fresno
 Dan entered into any contract before he was recognized by the state as the real Daniel Blake Russell and in which he waived all rights to the es- tate. will take your word for it here in this court Will you answer the question?''
 T have nothing to say" quietly an- swered Attorney Mason. l State Officer Silas Smith was in at- tendance at court today. His presence gave rise to the runor that the state police at the direction of District At torney Higgins were making an inves- tigation of charges of perjury brought by Attorney Scharton.

PLAN TO DEMAND
 FURTHER PROBE
 OF HANFORD CASE

Seattle, July 23-Despite the state- ments of Federal Judge Hanford and his counsel that the judge resigned, yesterday, because his health was poor, the impression is general today that the resignation was really pre- scented in an effort to prevent sensa- tional disclosures which might prove serious to powerful associates of the judge. So strong is this impression that many attorneys are planning to demand that Attorney General Wick. ersham take up the investigation where the Congressional sub-committee dropped it and pursue it to the end. They believe it will disclose a state of affairs which will demand immed- iate correction.
