Peace Of Chinatown Broken
by Shots and Crash
Of Axes
RAIDERS FIRED ON
One House Broken Into Is Found to
be Sumptuously Furnished Through
out

New York, Feb. 20.-Rudely dis
turbed in the peace that for years has
brooded over it's crooked streets and
dwelling, Chinatown awnkc
at dawn yesterday to the sound OF
pistol volleys and the rcnding crash
of barrcaded doors as police raiders
stormed a succession of long suspect
ed opium dens.
Eight persons were arrested. IN
cludng a woman whose back was
thought to have been broken III q
leap from sccond-story window.
4 man whose plunge for freedom she
initiated was only slightly injured.
Two of the storming party had mar
row escapes from injury. Bullets fired
by unseen defenders passed through
the hat of detective and -graZcd the
shoe of a Federal narcotic agent.
Large quantities of opium, with
pipes and other paraphcrnalia, were
confiscated.
Under command of Ralph OyIer,
chief of the Federal Narcotic Division
a score OF police and Government
agents first surrounded suspected
den on Mott street, in the heart Of the
Oriental quarter. Two of the party
were stationed on the roof, with others
on guard at FIRE escapes and other
means of egress, while the main squad
led by Oyler. launched a sudden on
slaucht on the front door. Welding
heavy axes they chopped their way
through the door, which was strongly
barred and studded with iron.
As the barricadc yielded and crash
ed to the floor there was shrek
from within. With the first blows by
the attacking party those inside had
made for the Are escapes and John
Buff, II, and the woman, Ethel Kelly,
20, had leaped from the railing, strlk-
ing on a stone pavement ~ fect be-
low. Both were taken to Bellevue
Hospital under guard.
The apartment, police reported, was
typical opium joint equinned with
tiers of wooden hunks around the walls
and with empty or half-flled drug tins
strewn about, the pungent fumes OF
cooking pellets rising from tiny
alcohol burners.
An array of about 100 hollow toys
Of various sizes and descriptions also
was seized These were thought to
have been used for transporting opium
to customers outside.

ENORMOUS CUT
IN Navy Bill.
TRAINERS PLAN
Chairman Kelley Says There
Is No Money For Old
Warships
NO COMMISSIONS
Middies Will Return to Civil Life-To
Junk Old Battle Craft and De-
Str0yerS

Washington, Feb. 20.-Congress will
not spend one dollar for the upkeep
next year of old warships that are un-
able to contribute to nationa! defense,
Chairman Kelley, Of the subcommlt,,
tee on appropriations, which will
frame a new navy bill, announced yes
terday.
Opposing the appropriation of $3.50,
100000 asked for by Secretary DENLY,
Chairman Kelley declined to indicate
how much might be cut from the Sc
retary's estimate by carrying out his
program Of ''iunking worthless yes
sells" It was intimated by the chair
mans associates, however, that the
figure would be reduced to S2lO,OOO,-
600, or possibly S200,OO0,0O0.
Mr.. Kelley declared he does not be-
lieve that Congress will be willing to
furnish the necessary men and money
for that part of the navy which has a
military value But there are scores
of ships costing millions every year
which are worthless. He says he is not
going to vote to keep these old ships
in commission, nor will Congress, un-
less it can be shown that they can
contribute to our national defense.
Asked how he stood on the question
of turning the $40 members of the
first class at Annapolis back to civil
life in June, Mr.. Kelley said:
ut may be hard, but the first class
will not be commissioned. We will have
to be conservative in cutting the Of
ticer personnel, and in this emergency
we cannot swap men for boys. Some
of the first class may be taken in, to
give a sprinkling of fresh life and
energy, but with the wholesale reduc-
tions necessary the class will have to
60. It's members have received a fine
education; they are ready for the
struggle of life, and the loss will be
more sentimental than financial"
The impression was gained from the
chairman that he believes large
number of destroyers could be laid up
than the 100 mentioned by the Secre-
tary Of the Navy.
"The old rule called for four de-
stroyers for each battleship." he said.
I'VE are to have Is battleships, and
by applying this rule we might get
along with y destroyers in active
commission"

H0lJSELEADERS
Still. IN DARK
ON BONUS P. IN
Cannot Even Guess The
Method to be Used in
Financing
MORE DELAY LIKELY
Hone Expressed That Initial Cost May
Be Met BY Cuts in ApprOpria-
ITEMS

Washington, Feb. 20.-The soldiers
bonus situation continues TO be so
nebulous that Republican House lead
ers still were unprepared last night
to venture even a guess as to what
plan of financing ultimately would be
agreed upon.
It was understood to be their dis
position to let the question simmer
a while longer in the hope that sem
timent would so shape itself as to
facilitate the task of those who will
frame the measure.
1t developed yesterday that beneath
the surface of the storm which has
ragged around President Harding's sug-
gestion that the bonus be financed by
sales tax there has been lot of
quiet talk in support OF the proposal
advanced by some leaders last week
that the legislation be made gen
eral charge against the Treasury, with
expected savings through cuts in reg
ular appropriation bills relied upon
for the financing of 4. portion of the
initial cost.
When first suggested by Represen-
tative Alondell, of Wyoming, the ma
iority House leader, this proposal
seemed to meet with considerable
favor among the rank and file in the
House. but the idea became all but
submerged by the wave of tall; chat
swept through cloak rooms and cor
ridors after the Presidents letter to
Chairman Fordney, of the Ways and
Means Committee. had reached the
Capitol.
Irrespective Of the bonus, there
apparently was determination IN the
House to reduce sharply the estimates
for both the navy and the. army and
that possibly 100000. 1000, would be cut
out of the supply bills Tor those de-
partments alone. Such sum, it was
said, would go a long way toward
meeting the first years cost OF the
cash payments to former service men.
Views of the 1ajority members OF
the WAYS and Means Committee on
this plan have not yet been publicly
developed. These members will meet
today to go into the whole bonus
question, but an immediate decision
as to how the bonus will be financed
is not expected. Proponents of a sales
tax, however, are understood 20 be pre-
pared to force their fight in the com
mittee at the earliest opportunity.
Some opponents of the sales levy
corcedc that there are sufficient votes
among the majority members of the
committee to report out such tax,
but declare the question of expediency
must enter into the final decision. The
first consideration, they said, is the
probable effect of such a tax on the
minds of the people generally, and the
second the known effect that will he
produced among Republican members
of the House.
If such tax is proposed to party
conference the optimists assert that
thew will renew the fight which was
waged successfully in a similar con-
ference in 1920, when the first bonus
bill was presented with sales tax at
tached. Failing to win in the caucus,
they declare their fight will be carried
to the floor of the House, with the c%-
pectation of almost solid support from
the Democrats.

Mr.. Fordney is talking through ms

can make more optimistic predlc-
tions about what is going to happen
in his committee and in the Rouse
than any other prominent RepubiIcan
in that body. If you ask Fordnel
about the chances of a particular,
measure in which ne IS interested
he will place g maximum limit OF ten
DAYS upon any piece OF legislation

into Congressional life he served as

from some of his statements recent

For Beauty's Sake

But children need Pepsodent most. Young
teeth seem most affected by these film attacks.
And children have most to lose Very few chill

Why Teeth Shine
After a dental cleaning

Your dentist, when you visit him, removes tho
Nm on teeth. Then, for little while, your teeth
reveal their luster.
But dental cleanings may come only twice
year. In all the time between the fln-coats may
dim and damage teeth.
Pepsodent combats that film twice daily. It
also keeps teeth highly polished film less easily
adheres. Thus it helps to keep teeth ever whittier
md cleaner.
