States must have navy equal to
That of any power in :ne. world, even
though it is necessary TO spend s1,OOo.-
10000 year for it according to
Franklin ID. Roosevelt, Assistant
Secretary of the Navy. who addressed
the Brooklyn chamber of commerce
here today.
We will find out from the second
writing in Washington of the war,
what the navy has DONE" Mr.. Roose-
welt said. Undoubtedly many mis-
takes were made, but they were
mostly from hindsight.'
In speaking of the maintenance of
the navy. Mr.. Roosevelt estimated
that 1t now requires from $500, ,000, 900
to SJo.00n,0O a year, but that to pro-
tect the commerce of the country
properly, 1t would require 1000. O00. .0OO
a year.
THE league of nations will try to
limit the size Of the navy and there
fore large sums will be saved"
Roosevelt said. "In any event, we
must have a navy as large as any
other nation because of our peculiar
situation and our large
coast line"

to contemplate her.
He saw a girl slightly above medium
height, tanned, robust. simply gOwned
In q Bingham dress. Her hands were
sOiled from her recent labOrs in the
pansy-bed, and her shoes were heavy
and coarse; yet neither hands nor feet
were large or ungraceful. Her head
was well formed; her hair, jet black
and of unusual lustre and abundance,
was parted in the middle and held In
an Old-fashiOned coil at the nape of
a neck the beauty OF which was re-
vealed by the low cut of her simple
frock. Her nose was patrician, her
face oval; her lips, full and red, were
slightly parted In the adorable Cupids
bow which is the inevitable heritage OF
a short upper lip; her teeth were
white as Parian marble; and her full
breast was rising and falling swiftly,
as If she labored under suppressed az

blow the auto and all to pieces. The
officers went to the spot, but no sign
of the mystery man could be found.
Early last evening Mr.. Evans re-
ceived another mysterious telephone
call, during which the speaker gave
him detailed instructions on how to
take the $4,000 to an alley three
blocks south of the college grounds.
Deputy Sheriff Byrd Halligan and
City Policeman Fred Cave were IN
Mr.. Evans home when the call came
In.
They slipped out Of the house a mo-
ment or two after The speaker had
hung up his phone. When HallIgan
ard Cave reached the ,alleyway to
which the voice directed Evans to
come. a man stepped out Of the dark
ness and jumped on the running board.
The two officers grappled with him,
but he wrestled himself free and fed
as they fired shots after him without
effect.
A moment later Thompson called
preclpitously at the home Of Professor
Emslle. the professor said later. He
was out of breath and explained the
fact by saying that he had fallen In
the darkness and had been overcome
by heart trouble, TO which he was sus-
ceptihIe. Professor Emslie was suspI-
cIous and reported the call to the sher-
iff. Thompson was taken into custody,
and later confessed.
