SHARP FIGHT OVER
MARINE MEASURE
Plan to Have Government
Buy Ships Meeting Strong
Opposition.

The situation with respect to Govern
ment purchase OF ships for use in tn.
merchant marine Is indicative Of a
sharp fight in Congress between the
friends and the opponents of such leg
islation.
The opposition to Government pur-
chase is growing. The White House at
utude continues to be In favor, of Gov
eminent purchase. On the other hand,
private shipping interests are careful
ly fostering opposition.
Some OF the Democratic leaders are
inclined to balk on the ground that,
with declining revenues, this Is a bad
time TO venture on the Government
ownership Of ships.
The bill should be passed" said
Senator Simmons. III for no other rea-
son than that the Government may not
be left helpless II private shipping In

ty Of silver bullion. Senator Smoot
said today after a conference with Sec
retary Of the Treasury McAdoo. Sena-
tor Smoot said that McAdoo had re-
ferred the Dutch government to the

Jean Glanini, the sixteen-year-olc
boy arrested for the murder Of Miss
Lydia Beecher, a school teacher, who
was found beaten to death near the
village OF Poland, n. Y. on Saturday
broke down and confessed the crime.

trict Attorney Farrell. shows that the

trying to reform, invited the young
teacher to call upon his parents and
urge them to allow him to return to
his studies in the Poland high school.
The youth had left the school last
year when he was committed to St.
Vincents Industrial school for incor-
rigibility.
Believing that the boy really de-
sired to mend his ways, Miss Beecher
volunteered to accompany him to his
home last Friday night. Gianini armed
himself with a monkey wrench, hiding
the weapon in a piece Of burlap in his
pocket
Suddenly Gianini drew his weapon
from his pocket and struck his com.
panion upon the head. knocking her
unconscious. He continued to rain
blows upon her, and then drew a dirk
knife and stabbed her.
Gianini said that he had talked 1
calmly to his companion about his |
plans to reform until they reached the
summit Of ColdbroOk hill, quarter Of
a mile from the nearest dwelling
where the attack was made.
