Although he is a member Of the Pres

Mr.. Ford is nevertheless pacifist.

facture," was his answer.
Considering his recent statement that
a small type of submarine operated by
a gasolene engine and manned by one
or two men was the logical undersea de-
fence of the future, Mr.. Ford yesterday
hardly seemed enthusiastic. He ad-
mitted that he picked up some new
ideas-he never went anywhere with
out doing that, he declared and that
he might submit them TO the naval ad-
visory board for what they were worth:

Washington, Sept. 23.-As Colonel f..
NJ. House, friend and adviser OF Presi-

,topped by one of the big policemen
who guarded the entrance with Say,

Colonel House smiled, but kept on
walking. TIE policeman had just
started after MIN in more or less
threatening attitude. when the doors
opened. and the doorman, with deep
bow. waved the colonel inside.
Soon afterward the Acting Secretary
Of State walked up the steps to call on
the President and Mr.. House. The
sans policeman was on guard, and Mr..
Polk was also warned.
When the policeman was told who
the two distinguished visitors were he
said: well, you know lot Of cranks

careful"
Colonel House expects to be the

His visit is said TO be a social one, but

sion is TO retain It's human touch
otherwise known as John Skeily, as
sistant secretary.
The commissioners had hard fight
yesterday afternoon with the sub-com-
mittee on budget over cuts recon-
mended in their staff. They had asked
that Mr.. Skelly's salary be increased
from s2,400 to $4,000. Much TO their
surprise, the Bureau of Standards had
his place down for abolishment. Every
member of the commission went to
the bat for Mr.. Skelly, who was de-
clared a much needed individual.
MANY of our visitors are irate, SAID
DR.. Henry Moskowitz, president OF the
commission. "Our assistant secretary
treats them tactfully and tells them
what they want 10 know. He supplies
the human touch"
The budget committee decided TO re-
tain Mr.. Skelly and his office, but de-
MED him any increase. The commits
sion won out on several other points,
but the committee voted to abolish sew
eral small clerkships.
No action was taken on the recon-
mendation of the Bureau of Standards
that the position of F. G. Ireland. CHIEF
examiner, at $4,000, be abolished and
that he be made supervisor. at $3.50.
The budget of the Court of Special Ses-
sion will be considered this afternoon.

FEUD IS AGAIN
NEARING CLIMAX
On Grand Jury Results
Riley Hopes Governor
Will Allow Removal.
WARDEN OFFERS AID
TO DISTRICT ATTY
Says in Port Chester, Riley
Might Visit the Prison
Occasionally.

Indications were plain in Albany and
White Plains yesterday that the fight
of John B. Riley, Superintendent Of
Prisons, to force Thomas Mott Osborne
from the wardenship Of Sing Sing is
again approaching a climax, with Riley
relying upon what may be developed by
a grand jury investigation to furnish
an excuse for Osborne's decapitation.
Osborne and District Attorney Weeks
Of Westchester conferred for an hour
yesterday on the proposed grand jury
Investigation. At the close of the con-
ference both men refused to talk.
While this conference was in session
John B. Riley. Superintendent of Pris-
ons, was in Albany planning TO lay his
case against Osborne before Governor
Whitman on his return to his desk.
In Albany last night Riley said he had
nothing new 10 present to the Gov
ernor at this time.
Talking in Port Chester last night,
Warden Osborne said the trouble in
Sing Sing is largely due to IRE
porter Imagination" referring par
ticularly to the recent search Of
cells by William A. Orr, Governor
Whitmans secretary, and fight
that is alleged TO have broken up a
session of the Mutual Welfare court.

Osborne's opponents in Westchester
and in Albany were of the opinion last
night that Riley is at last in position
to force Osborne out. In this connec-
ton the word was passed IN West
chester last night that there would be
big developments to-day. The nature
of these developments was not dis
closed.
The charges which the grand jury is
expected to investigate deal with as

move from the top to the bottom OF

It was not until the early seventies

this passengers were required to pay
