Both Parties Fighting
for President Plan

EE AVA VVASAOAAS - = ASSAA
Washington, Feb. 7.-Speaker Clark
and Republican Leader Mann fought
side by side today for adequate ma
tional defense. With party lines OBJ
liberated most of the members fol,
lowed their leaders and the two navy
measures passed without a dissenting
vote.
One measure to provide for adding
300 midshipmen to the entering class
at Annapolis next July passed 173 to 0,
and the other to equip navy yards for
construction of battleship Nos. 43 and
A, passed without roll call.
Mr.. Mann tried to put the anti-pre-
paredness advocates on record by call
ing for division on the naval acad-
envy bill but there was no negative
responses. The appearance of Speak
er Clark on the floor to champion the
preparedness measures aroused inter
est. Rumors persisted that he would
take active charge of the fight to in
crease the army and the navy, Ma
jority Leader Kitchen having joined
the opposition.
Immediate improvement of the navy
by the designing of new battleships
along lines of the best now in use,
double membership of both Annapolis
and West Point, creation of many ad-
ditional regiments for the army, and
short term enlistments to produce a
reserve were among suggestions made
by the speaker. He said he expected
to discuss the subject of preparedness
generally soon.
Mr.. Mann reiterated his previous
pleas for a larger army and navy and
aided in maneuvering the bills to pas.
sage.
'This is not the time for crin'ina-
ton and recrimination," he said. 1T
is not the time to find fault with that
which has been. 1t is the time for
all to join hands for that which has
come"
The debate went far ahead of the
measures under consideration extend
ing to the general subject of military
preparedness.
Mr.. Clark urged haste in getting the
new battleships into commission. He
asked Chairman Padgett of the naval
committee, why it would not be good
plan to pattern the two battleships
Nos. 49 and "A after the best United
States ships afloat and get them COM
pleted.
Simply because" Mr.. Padgett said,
'the chief of the bureau of construc.
ton told us that he had plans already
worked out that would make decided
improvements against torpedo at
tacks."
"Why do they not put those plans
into operation?" the speaker con-
tinued.
"They will,'' Mr. Padgett said, "as
soon as they get authority provided
in this resolution" ..r.a. -. ....-
Representative Padgett told the
house that three ships-the Oklahoma,
the Nevada and the Pennsylvania
regarded the three best in the world
at the time they were designed and
laid down, would be completed and put
into commission during Ibis year, two
Of them in the early summe4 and one
in the autumn.
If any emergency should arise"
he said, "a very small resolution of
congress carrying the necessary ap-
preparations could provide for extra
ships"
Representative Cannon, Of Illinois,
created a stir by asking if the talk of
preparedness was a sham performance
for campaign purposes. Later he said
he did not intend the remark as a
criticism of the president.

DEATH ANGEL
CALLS DR. MAURICE WALLER
FORMERLY OF THIS CITY.
AZ the Home Of His Sister, Miss Lille
Waller, In Oak Park, Ill.-Had
Been Minister For the Greater
Part Of Llfe-Was 20
Years Of Age.

Word was received here yesterday
Of the death Of DR.. Maurice Waller al
the home of his sister, Miss Lille
Waller. at Oak Park, ILL.,, yesterday
morning at $50 o'clock.
DR.. Waller had suffered a general
breakdown last winter and was taken
in February to Kenova, W. Va, to stay
with relatives. In July he was taken
to Oak Park to remain with his sis
ter. His death came rather suddenly
and as a great surprise to his many
friends and admirers here.
DIR. Maurice Waller was born in
July, 1910, on the place now owned by
Mr.. W. W. Baldwin on the Lexington
Pike. He was the son of Henry and
Sarah Langhorne Waller, his father
being a prominent lawyer OF this
county at that time. In 1861 his fam
lily moved to Chicago.
He professed an early desire to be-
cdme a minister and attended Centre
College and the Danville Theological
Seminary at Danville, Ky. He was
also a graduate Of the Mccormack
Theological Seminary of Chicago. At
ter entering the ministry he filled
many important pastorates in several
states at various times but he always
claimed Maysville as his home ana
loved to be in this city. His last regu-
lar pastorate was at Lebanon, Ky. At
ter his restirement from the active
field of the ministry he settled in
Maysville and from this point he
would fill various churches in the
surrounding country.
His wife was Miss Elizabeth Mar
shall of Washington, daughter of Col.
Charles A. Marshall. She preceded him
to the grave several years ago. To
them were born five children one Of
whom is dead. The surviving chill
dren are Mr.. Henry Waller of Port
land. Ore, Miss Phoebe Waller of New
York City, Mrs Shelby Blatterman of
this county and Mrs. Gilbert Wilkes
of the Philippine Islands, He is also
by Jour sisters and two
brothers.
DR.. Waller was known to almost ev-
cry resident of the county as he had
filed pulpits of all the Presbyterian
and many of the other churches in
the county.
He was a very earnest minister and
preached for the joy of it. Often af
ter preaching a very long sermon he
would be surprised to learn that so
long time had passed. He was an
speaker and never failed to
command the attention of his audi
ence. He was a splendid character
and a gentleman in every walk of life.
AS yet no arrangements have been
made for the funeral but 1t is supposed
that the body will be brought to Mays
vile for burial Announcements of
the burial will be made in tomorrow's

The claims of Dover, KY, were
placed before the board of selectmen
for the proposed government armor
plant yesterday by Arthur F. Curran,
delegate from that city.
In its brief the city outlined the adj
vantages to be derived from that To-
cation, from which access to all parts
of the country is comparatively sim
pie. The richness of the section, to-
gether with the list of improvements
now in operation or under contempla-
ton, was also made a feature of the
plea.
Particular stress is laid on the fact
that the location is safely removed

STOLEN HORSES FOUND.
Thief Abandons Team Taken From
8sg l6 Parry EarmAr


M Perry. May o.. The two horses stolen
from the barn Of Thomas Scott the
night the building was fred and nine
other animals burned have been found.
and are once again in the possession OF
the owner. The identity of the flend
who Aired the barn is still unknown
and may never De found out.
The horses were picked up by Frank
Freestone in his barn yard just north
of the city and a few hours later were
Identified by Mr.. Scott and taken
home. 3 IA
There Is now no doubt but that the
animals were stolen and that the thief
became frightened and left them rath-

dispose Of them. When found one Of
them had a leather halter on. but the
halter was on the other horse the
night they were put in their stalls in
the Scott barn.
