New Challenger
Pounding to Pieces
on Cape Ann Rocks

Gloucester. Mass. April Fin
stead of being fitted with sails and
spars to go afishing out of Gloucester
before May /, and so qualify this fall
as a contender for the honor of Chal-
longing for the international fishing
vessel championship trophy, the new
schooner Henry Ford was breaking up
tonight on the rocks of Cape Ann.
The schooner. slick in her new tim
hers and fresh painted, had been
launched only yesterday at Essex.
The Henry Ford with Captain Nor
rissey, one of the most noted fish
killers of this port at her wheel as
skipper and part owner, struck on a
shoal at the mouth of Essex river
while heading here for rigging. She
spent the night there, slapped by seas
which, in the early morning, tore
loose parts of her shoe. Later the
schooner was carried off the shoal
and onto a ledge where she stuck
fast, Notwithstanding efforts by three
tugs to float her. There she stood to-
night, apparently a Wfcck beyond re-
claiming.
The Henry Fords accident comes a
year to the day after the launching
Of the schooner Mayfower, which al
so went aground at the river mouth,
but floated free later. The Mayflower
declared ineligible, last year and the
Puritan launched at Essex recently
remain to contest for the right to
challenge Nova Scotia fishermen for
the cup they hold through, BluenoSe's
victory last fall.

Former British
Premier Made Earl

London, April 1e-(By A. P.)-
Formal official announcement was
made today that an Earldom had been
conferred on Sir Arthur James Bal

lord president of the council.
The announcement confirmed what
had been unofficially known for some
time. Throughout his political car
Ger he had steadily set his face
against the acceptance of any title,
even. according TO gossip, having de-
clined one when offered him on his
return from the Washington arma-
ment conference. Then he accepted
the order of the Garter without real

Washington. April 1.-THE 1928
naval budget ran through hostile wa
tiers in the House today.
AS the weary end OF eight solid
hours of debate was reached tonight,
with less than a corporals guard on
the floor. the air was filled with claims
by leaders opposed to the bills pro-
visions for an enlisted force of $1,000
that votes enough had been n!edgcd
10 beat it.
This prediction. coupled with violent
attacks on the measure, took the edge
off Chairman Kelleys smile. and once
or twice he put on his fighting clothes.
Time and again the chairman broadly
charged that back of the movement for
bigger navy was the desire of men,
bers from navy yard districts to in
crease the total appropriation so that
the activities Of these establishments
might not be curtailcd.
Suggestions from some sources that
the committee add a little to its per-
sonnet strength were cast aside by
Chairman Kelley with the declaration
that the bill had to stand or fall as
reported, and that if the enlisted fig
ure was raised to $4,000 there would
be record vote in the House.
