MANN'S CONTENTION MAY HOLD UP NAVAL
 APPROPRIATION BILL

WASHINGTON. Feb 10.-Adminis- tratiou leaders tomorrow will ask the aid of the house rules committee in an effort to prevent the naval expansion program from being eliminated from the annual naval appropriations bill on points of order raised today by re- publican leader Mann and sustained by Representative Garrett of Tennessee, democrat, who was presiding.
 Representative Mann contended that the authorization of the superdread- naughts and ten scout cruisers was legislation which could not properly be carried in an appropriation measure. When this point had been sustained, Chairman Padgett of the naval com mittee sought to save the program by offering an amendment appropriat- ing S5.000,000 for new ship construc- tion.
 This amendment was ruled out on d point of order made by Mr. Mann. and Mir. Padgett then proposed an amend ment appropriating $2,000,000 for the ten battlehips. Opponents of the naval expansion policy made an effort to press their advantage and after an hours debate on the S2.000. 900 amend ment. the house adjourned with the points of order still pending.
 During the discussion Chairman Pou of the rules committee, conferred with Mir. Padgett and immediately after wards sent out a call for meeting of tho rules committee tomorrow. Un- certainty of the attitude of the mem bers of the committee was said to have been responsible for the decision to hold the meeting tomorrow, instead of pressing an immediate session.
 Speaking on the Padgett amendment, Representative Keating of Colorado. democrat. urged the adoption of the naval expansion program, saying that "posterity will view with surprise the heckling of President Wilson and the efforts to embarass him"
 Mir. Keating said the president repre- sented all the people and not any party and that congress should support his work at the peace conference by ap- proving the new building program ! which he recommended
 ! Opposition to the program was voiced ! by Representatives Saunders of Virgi- mia, and Currie of Michigan. Mir. Cur rie said that unless the president 1 feared war with England, his action ir urging the program was a mean ana | contemptible bluff to gain power a, | the peace table"
 Mir Saunders read the testimony of | Secretary Daniels before the house | committee in 1915 in which he quoted
 him as saying it was not necessary ! to have a navy as big as England"

NUT SCHOOL, BUT WORK HOUSE IS AT FORT GRANT
State Institution for Boys and Girls Is Deplorable Says Andrew Baumert, Jr.. and Should Be Rem edied

That the industrial school at Fort Grant is misnamed and is not an in- dustrial school at all, is the opinion of Andrew Baumert. Jr, chairman of the commission of state institutions, who with Lloyd B. Christy and John Rock, members Of tho commission, reached Tucson Friday night to inspect the new dormtory at the university, after their first visit to the Fort Grant school
 Tho Fort Grant school is a work house rather than an industrial school" said Mir Baumert. There is nothing there which gives any evidence of being a school It is deplorable situation and one that should be reme- died by the legislature immediately.
 There arc SO boys and about l6 girls at the school. They are housed in two old tumble down buildings. There are a number of window lights out. There arc no facilities whatever for voca- tional education. There is a shoe shop and tailor shop, the latter not now in use. About all the boys do is their own work
 No Amusements
 At o'clock at night after dinner is over, the boys are marched to big room used as a dormitory and locked up for the night. They are kept there until z in the morning. There is no library at the school and no amusc- mcnt is provided. The room is not heated and there are no tables It is simply punishment of the worst kind and of the sort that breeds mischief
 'The only way for the state to do at the Fort Grant school is to start over
 
 The present buildings inherited from the government are not suited to the purpose Modern buildings with facil- ties for vocational cducation should be provided either here or at some other site
 Any parent visiting the school would certainly be shocked at the sit uation there. lt is true that a light plant has been installed. but the bat teries for storage have not been pro- vided. the current is fed direct and every now and then the whole system IS blown out There are two old pianos but they have not been tuned for ages and cannot bc used.
 Should Provide Employment
 "The salvation of the school is to provide employment for the boys and girls along vocational lines. teach them a trade and provide wholesome amuse- mcnt for their leisure hours. It will be hig job Co putsthe school on its feet and win cost considerable money but h will he worthwhile and the state owes it to the boys and girls confined thcrc. They will never be made good citizens unless this is done"
 Mir Baumcrt and tho other members of the commission will return to Phoe nix tonight.

British Isles to the United States and

The R-34 poked her nose out of the
clouds northeast Of the village and,
after circling the flying field three
times, glided gently to the ground, and
ten minutes later was housed in the
dirigible shed. The voyage from Long
Island was without particular incident
and was completed In approximately
seventy-five hours.
AS the R-34 approached the field,
she dropped from height of 5000
feet to 1000 feet. The 400 men who
were to aid the airship in landing
were ordered to their positions and
waited silently as the ship circled the
field, dropping lower and lower.
When Maj. G. H. Scott, her COM
mander, had Unanswered the airship
into position for the landing, the water
ballast was released to steady her and
rope was thrown from the bow.
The rope was grasped by eager hands
and the giant ship moved across the
field to the shed where the delicate
operation of berthing her was COM
pleted quickly without accident.
A military band, stationed on the
field, played THE Call of Duty" as
the airship began to settle, and then
changed to the strains of "See, the
Conquerlng Hero Comes" AS the ship
was warped into the shed, the band
played Keep the Home Fires Burn

found that he suffered financial reverses and other
personal misfortunes.
Hope is credited with having given the diamond
10 MS daughter at the time she married the Skin
duke OF Newcastle in 1861 But apparently 1t was
the fiction mongers and not she who beQuenthed
the gem to her son, Lord Francis Hope. that 1t
might get sensatonnlly into the life of May YOhe,
the American actress.
This part OF the story ia mere fiction 1t is true
that May YOhe married Lord Francis Hope. 1t
is true that she elOped with Capt. Putnam Brad
lee Strong son of former mayor of New York.
Lord Francis obtained divorce. and the wife
married Captain Strong. only to be divorced u
second time.
But May Yohe, although she has been quoted
saying that she the Hope diamond only
twice and that her troubles due to its malign
influence, probably never even saw the stone Ger
tanly Lord Francis never had possession Of it.
So, when the story goes to say that he sold
1t for Sl6S,OOO to Joseph Frankel. New York
jeweer the statement is untrue.
1t is true that Frankel had the gem in New
York Where and from whom Frankel acquired
the stone never has been made clear, but the
stone went back to Paris and into the possession
Of Jacques Colet, who bought 1t from Frankel.
COlet has been reported having killed himself
after losing his mind.
Before that tragedy however. the diamond is
reputed to have passed into the ownership of
Prince Ivan Kanitowski. and the legend promptly
dsposes of the prince at the hands of mob Of
Russian revOlutionsts Thence the story skips to
the murder of Mile. Ladue, to whom the Russian
prince had loaned the diamond. A jealous ad.
mrer Is charged with this murder.
Next in the legend of the jewel is listed Simon
Moncharides, of whose identity there appears to
be uncertainty. But the legend sends him riding
close enough to a precipice to be thrown over and
killed. Just before his death Moncharides is cred
tied with having sold the diamond to Sem Habib,
4 Persian. who acted agent for the Sultan
Abdul Hamid
One version OF the next chapter Is that Habib
was drowned in a wreck and the diamond lost
The publication of this was later explained as
ruse to throw thieves of the trnil. This version
takes the stone to Constantinople where 1t cuts a
wide swath in violence, misfortune and death and
finally brings about the end of Abdul Hamid.
Be all that as 1t may 1t appears that instead of
having drowned with the gem in the shipwreck
Habib got back to Paris with it. 1t was sold at
auction for $4,000 June "a, 1909.
The gem then passed into possession Of p G.
Cartier and the Cartier firm brought It to this
country. In January 1911, announcement was
made that the stone had been sold to the Mclean
family and that the purchase price was $4,000
Mrs. Mclean wore the stone at least once In pub
lie, according to the newspapers.
An authoritative article by T. Edgar Wilson in
the Jewellers Circular Weekly about the time Of,
the Mclean purchase states that the "evil eye"
reputation Of the Hope diamond dates from the
publication Of q sensatonal article In 1901 when
