WR|GLEY TO BUILD y,
Up ISLAND RIVIERA
Owner of Catalina Has Plans
That Will Require Years
for Completion.
BY CHARLES r. HUGHES,
International News Service.

AVALON. Catalina Island. Cal,
April Eff fortune had been very
kind to you and wads and wads
of money, and stocks and bonds. and
blocks and tracts of valuable real
estate. scattered here and there. and
you had. in fact, pretty much Of
everything that gold will buy to
make you happy, would you yearn
for something else?
William Wrigley. tr-. the Chicago
multi-millionaire and sportsman, was
Just such a darling of fortune. Yet
he wanted something more.
1t was
An island in the Pacific Ocean.
Not a little toy AFFAIR with a few
houses, a boat landing, a few trees
and containing some scattered acres:
on the contrary. small empire in it,
self. being twenty-five miles long,
nine miles wide and containing 1000
acres of some of the most pictur-
esque mountainous scenery in the
world.
Mr.. Wrigley talked about his island
OF wonders, or rather Santa Catalina
island, to use its full name, in much
the same matter of fact way that q
proud suburbanite would tell OF q
new home he had but recently pur-
chased. ..
About two years ago I found that
I could obtain Catalina Island at An
advantageous price," Mr.. Wrigley
said. II was interested in a banking
deal which involved buying the prop
erty at what seemed to be a rea-
sonable figure. / took the owners up
on their offer and a few millions OF
dollars changed hands. I didn't get
to inspect my property for six weeks,
but i knew that ! had not bought a
pig in a poke. / was delighted with
my buy and have been moro and
more pleased every day am here
to enjoy it
when I have completed a long
list of improvements and have the
island laid out according to plans
that will take several years for their
execution, l expect to make II a play
ground for the West. 1t will become
a Riviera of the Pacific, but IL will
be distinctly an American Riviera,
catering to Americans desiring Amer
loan amusements.
Last year the payroll OF the is
lands hotels. boarding houses, camps,
fishing enterprises, furniture fac
tory and amusement concessions was
s9S0,00O. The islands population at
the height of the summer season
was 10000. Quite a hefty business

IMPORT VALUATION
TARIFF PROBLEM
Ways and Means Committee
Strikes Stumbling Block
Over Price Question.

Working out Of the scheme for re-
quiring imposition of customs duties
on American valuations of imported
articles ID proving the most difficult
OF all the tax and tariff problems be-
fore the House Ways and Means Com
mittee.
After more than two weeks con-
sideration of the problem many mem
bers of the committee are ready to-
tay to abandon the American valua-
ton plan as impractical. Certain il
Is that no headway has been made in
framing legislation necessary to its
Introduction In the tariff system.
A report has been received by the
committee from the Federal Tariff
Commission on the effect of the
American valuation plan. While this
report has not been made public. II is
understood to be unfavorable to adop-
Ion OF the plan, because of almost
unsurmountable difficulties and in
justices in the way OF it's operation.
The committee is making progress.
II was reported today, on other fea-
:ures OF the new tariff legislation. 1t
has been decided by the subcommittee
raining the cotton schedule that the
iuties on the coarser grades of cot
on manufactures shall be lower than
n the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. The
luties will be higher on the inner
;rades of cotton goods, going beyond
ven the Payne-Aldrich rates on such
goods in which there Is required q
maximum OF hand and machine labor.
Chairman Fordney. Of the general
'ommittee, has been placed at the
,ead of the subcommittee to frame
he tariff duties for earths and

the subcommittee on wool which has
made good progress with duties car

Flynn Says Explosion Caused
By Gang That Wrecked
Home of Palmer.

NEW YORK. April 2.-Onicial as.
surances were given yesterday that
the mystery of the great Wall street
explosion Is likely to be solved soon.
No arrests have been made as yet.
but II was limited that important
ones were imminent
Chief William ]. Flynn Of the De-
partment of Justice said that the ex-
plosion was engineered and executed
by the same gang that bombed the
home of former Attorney-General
Palmer in Washington.
Departmental operatives are trail
ing suspected members of this band
in Canada and Europe. other gang
members are believed to be in hiding
In this country.
Mayor Hylan said that the police
Of this city have located the man
who shod the horse attached to the
wagon-load of explosives.
The Mayor added that a "composite e
picture" of the driver of the wagon
was in circulation.
The photograph was made by per-
mitting all persons. who had seen the
wagon at Wall and Broad streets
before the explosion, to select from SOD
photographs those which they con-
sidcred most resembled the driver.
All the pictures shown were of men
known to be bombers or violent anar-
chists. Out of them all. two were
selected by witnesses as bearing the
strongest resemblance to the driver.
Three views were made of each OF
these two men, and the two sets of
pictures were re-photographed on the
same plate SO that the features and
characteristics Of the two men COM
pounded.

FRANCE ST|RREDB BY
NAVY PLANS Of US,

PARIS, April 2.-That France can
not any longer remain inactive and
disinterested in affairs of naval con-
struction is the theme put forward
by the Echo de Paris in discussing z
the proposed naval program of the
United states and Japan and the mas
terry OF the Pacific.
while we certainly have enough
worries over here in Europe and
while the Pacific is a long way from
us. we cannot forget that we have
possessions in India and China which.
In the event of trouble, might need
our protection. Also let us remember
that matters even afar off often t-ou-
BILE the peace Of the rest OF the world.
The Austro-Serbian squabble in 1914
was enough to entangle the rest of
the world in a gigantic war.
America" adds the French news
paper. needs a large navy for vari-
Gus reasons. Firstly, she has to pro-
tect her merchant marine, which even
In 1914 was equivalent to two-thirds
of the British mercantile marine. Sec
ondlys she has possessions to watch
and guard, and, thirdly. she has a
large coast arae to patrol both on the
Atlantic and on the Pacific Thus she
has had to build large ships capable
OF operating at long distances.
America has a feet of eighteen
dreadnoughts and 100 big destroyers
maneuvering in the Pacific. In June
this fleet is to visit various parts of
the world for Propaganda purposes.
1t will visit South America and South
Africa and will carry Old Glory to
visit the British dominions of Aus
tralia and New Zealand. What will
England think OF this little demon
strationf
Japan also Is building a huge fleet
which. when completed in about six
years, will consist OF 100000 tons,
which added to her existing powerful
feet, will be capable of competing
with the strongest navies in the
world.
I'm view Of these formidable naval
programs, France should at once set
to study naval matters. Why not now
appoint a strong commission headed
by competent naval experts and in
trust II with the creation OF a power

Coolidge Eulogizes
 Theodore Roosevelt In New York Speech
Republican A. p. Leased WireI

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Great men are the ambassadors of precedence sent to reveal to their fellowmen their unknown selves Calvin Coolidge. vice. president elect, declared in an eulogistic address on Theodore Roose- welt tonight.
 There is something about them bet ter than anything they do or say, he said If measured at all, they are to be measured in the responsive action of what others do or say"
 The greatest peril 10 our institu- tions," he added, does not lie in a direct assault upon them Disaster will come from those who probably gith good Intentions seek the private control of public action. Tn the exer- else of that eternal vigilance whicr they tell us is the price of liberty. il requires constant reiteration and nc
 estimate of the services and character
 of Theodore Roosevelt can be made without the re-telling of it."
 1 Roosevelt's last great service, he de clared. was rousing the nation to the
 meaning and menace of the war. "Ht reused the national conscience into righteous action" he continued "H, spoke to the soul of his country aut l he saw her response. He saw ba rise triumphant. He saw his fellow countrymen make their sacrifices ant ! he made his. He knew their suffer 1 ing but he knew their courage. II,

EIGH I ESCAPE FROM CITY JAIL;
 FIVE RE I AIKEN
Prisoners Cut Through Ceil- ing Into Office Above All But Three Picked Up BY.OfficerS

After trying out the board and room to the city jail for several days, eight of the prisoners folded their tents like the Arabs and silently stole away about o'clock last night, leaving be- hind them some 30 or 50 disgruntled cell mates. Five had been recaptured by midnight.
 The eight gained an exit by ham, mering at the ceiling of the bull pen" until they had cleared away sufficient plaster to pry up several boards of the flooring in the room above-the office of the city assessor. Although the door of the assessors office would have opened at the simple turn of the night lock, the escaping prisoners took the more spectacular method of making their getaway through the window.
 Because of the crowded condition of the city jail it is impossible to place all the prisoners in cells. Those who escaped had been given the freedom of the bull pen.
 All except one of those who effected escapes last night were serving sen tences for vagrancy. The one excep- tion was being held in connection with | a felony charge He was later cap tured by officers at Tempe in com pany with another escapee. Assistant Chief of Police McGrath picked up three more of the escaped prisoners on the Tempe road.
 In commenting upon the escape, Chiei Brisbois last night called attention tc the fact that although the jail had 1 been repeatedly condemned by repre-
 sentatives of civic organizations, by
 the federal and county grand juries anc l by the public press, the people of Phoe-
 nix voted down the proposed bond is sue for a new jail.
