NAVY PERSONNEL IS
LAUNCHED IN HOUSE
tBy Associated Press)

Washington, April 10.-The fight
over the naval appropriation bill,
presaged by the vigorous attack on
the measure in the minority report
signed by five republicans and one
democrat and in statements by two
other republican members of the ap-
preparations committee, was expect
ed to begin in the house today fol-
lowing formal presentation of the
minority views. Those in charge of
the bill, which was reported to the
house on Saturday, planned to bring
it up before adjournment today.
The minority report, made public
last night, declared the bills pro-
posal to reduce the enlisted person.
mel of the navy to $1,000 and the
number of officers to 6,356, meant
total disregard of the "basic naval
policy" set down by the arms confer
ence and would make this country a
"third-rate naval power" An en-
listed personnel of $4,000 with 5000
apprentices would be required to
keep the United States abreast with
Great Britain and ahead of Japan, as
contemplated in the conference trea-
ty, the report declared
Representative Macarthur, of Ore
gon, a republican member of the ap-
committee, declared in a
statement on the bill that he believ-
ed after canvass Of the house men,
bership that the prospects of secur-
ing its amendment to provide for
$4,000 enlisted men "are excellent"
Representative Britten, of Illinois,
another republican member of the
issued a statement as
serting that had the British and
Japanese delegates framed the bill"
to that end "they could not have
more deliberately reduced the Unit
ed States to third-rate power"

Work on the grandstand at the
ball park, in which all loyal fans were
invited to participate, has been de-

.AFL LOAT IN RIVER
ASKS WASHINGTON
lntimated May Have
; Connection with Bu-
reau Removals
AGENTS DIG FOR Coin
Treasure Hunters Are
Delving for Supposed
Buried Coin
tBy Associated PressD

Washington, April 1O.-While still
trying to solve the mystery of the
$4,000 in five-dollar bills turned
over to them by boatsman who
found the money floating in the Po-
tomac river Friday, department of
justice agents spent yesterday dig
ging in various places in the vicinity
of the bureau of engraving and
printing. Whether they had definite
clues of money stolen from the bu-
reau and buried nearby could not be
learned, nor could it be ascertained
whether the search had any connec-
tion wit hthe inventory now being
taken of the money production plant
of the bureau. So far as could be
learned, however, no treasure was
uncovered in yesterdays digging.
Department of justice agents, SO
far as known, ha dnot succeeded in
their efforts today to trace the
source of the 1000 five-dollar bills
found in the river. The bills, which
had been torn into fragments and
placed in an envelop, were examined
yesterday by Director Hill, of the bu-
reau of printing and engraving, who
succeeded to that office on the recent
dismissal of James w. Wilmeth and
numerous other officials of the bu-
reau. Director Hill later indicated
that he did not believe the bills were
stolen from the bureau.

Possibility Is Giving
Much Concern in Both
States
GOVERNMENT CAUTIOUS
Will Take No Steps to
Provoke Any Trouble
Right Now
(By Associated Pressl

! London, April 10-Will the extre-
mist Republicans in Ireland observe
the anniversary of the Easter week
uprising against Great Britain in 1915
by again attempting this Easter week
to oust the provisional government
and establish Republic in its place?
This is question that is being SER
iously discussed in well informed cir
cles both in England and Ireland.
The London Daily Mails Dublin
correspondent declares that this phase
of Ireland's perplexities has been ra-
ther freely debated in Dublin and
that opinions there differ widely. The
correspondent is convinced that the
provisional government will do moth
ing to provoke a rebellin by immediate
attempts to restore order. He is less
clear about the attitude of the more
radical Republicans and appears to .
thSk THAT the iatterfs actipn de-
pends on how far they believe they
can sway public opinion with them.
The correspondent remarks that the
extreme Republicans are already in
ill favor with the genrally recogniz-
ed thinking element in Ireland and
also with the great bulk of the gener-
al public.
r He recalls, however. that, the peo-s.
pie in ireland generally were at first
against the rebellious element in 1916
but later rapidly veered to the point
of view of the revolutionists. He has
come to the conclusion that both sides
are simply jockeyng for the psycihol-
ogical moment, in the meantime care
fully considering the temper Of the
general public in Ireland
Certain commonly well informed
political quarters in London expect
violent stroke by extremist Republi-
cans at an early date. Consequently
these English sources of opinion be-
lieve that Easter week will be selected
as timely moment for bold stroke
because of its 1916 associations.
According to some political reports,
the British government is keen1y
awake to the possibility of any SER
ious revolt this week. Winston
Spencer Churchill, minister of state
for colonies, has kept in closest touch
with affairs in Ireland and is prepar-
ed for any vigorous action that may
be needed. -
Lieutenant Colonel Wilfred Ashley
Tylde divisio min Lanca-
shire, raised the question of another
irish rebellion in the house of COM
mons. He asked what instructions
mad been given to the British militia
~ commander in the event that re-
public was proclaimed in Ireland and
Urged that arrangements be made for
he immediate re-summoning of the
house of commons, in such a serious
before it recessed for the
Easter holidays.

Circuit Judge Names
One After Comptroller
Has Acted
JURISDICTION ISSUE
Law Regulating Receiv-
ers Gives Comptroller
Authority
(By Associated Press)

Tallahassee, April 10-A conflict
of authority has arisen in Palm
Beach county where the State Bank
of Felismere was taken over by the
state comptroller following an in
vestigation nito it's affairs after the
death of the cashier, and whose ac-
counts were found several thousand
dollars short.
Under the law the comptroller is
specially authorized to name receiv-
ers for banks under his jurisdiction.
In due form a receiver was named
by the comptroller, but it was found
later that Judge Davis, of the cir
cult court, had also named a receiv-
er, who went to Fellsmere and de-
manded from the examiner and re-
ceiver named by the comptroller, the
keys of the bank. The examiner wir-
ed to Tallahassee for instructions,
and was told to hold to what he had.
He later advised the comptroller's Of
flee that forcible entrance to the
bank was either being attempted or
had already actually been made by
the receiver named by the court.
Assistant Attorney General Gaines
then left here for West Palm Beach,
there this morning to pre-
sent a request that the appointment
of receiver by the court be vacated.
The alternative is an appeal to the
supreme court.

Delegates Assemble to
Consider Needs of
Mankind
33STATESREPRESENTED
Great Things Expected
to Be Accomplished
at Convention
(By Associated Pressl

Genoa, April 10.-The nations OF
four continents, in this ancient and
venerated city of Genoa, today began
efforts to restore to the world nor
NAL conditions. All plans had been
completed today for this great eco
nomic congress, which was generally
regarded by competent judges, as the
most important and significant as
sembly since the Versailles peace con-
ference.
Representatives of 33 states were
prepared to take steps that it was
hoped would lead to the economic re-
construction of Europe, the confer
ence particularly to be concerned
with plans for rebuilding central
Europe and rehabilitating Russia,
which was admitted by many dele
gates, to be a subject of supreme i'm
portance by itself, perhaps the most
far-reaching question which the con-
gress shall be called upon to solve.
The ambassador from the United
States, Richard Washburn Child, was
to take his seat today in section
reserved for eminent visitors. He
was to attend all the open meetings,
but will not be present at any con-
ferences of committees at which the
actual important work of the con-
feence will be completed.
Formal opening of the sessions
was to take place at 8 o'clock this
afternoon in the historic palace of
st. George. This picturesque struc-
ture was built in 1860 by Frate Oil
viero and was the first official resi-
dence of the captains of the people,
then the seat of the celebrated COM
pany and Bank of st. George,
Great throngs on Palm Sunday Wis
tied this scene of today's conference
and found scores of assistants en-
gagged in carrying plants and flowers
to relieve the somewhat sombre and
loonely aspect of the auditorium.
Thousands of Genoese gathered along
the water front seeking advantage
ous posoitions from which to observe
foreign diplomats and distinguished |
statesmen upon their arrival. In the |
Bay of Genoa, itself, screeches of |
small tugboats and the more impress
sive and deep-throated whistles of |
more important vessels seemed to
breathe life into the modern COM
nercial city of Genoa, whose vessels
sail to markets on all seven seas.
Lively scenes surrounding the
opening of the congress, intensified
~ the activity of this pussy port of
impressed observers as a
fitting background for a congress
whose serious mission is the restora- !
ion of economic health to suffer-
ng and sorely-tried Europe.
A complete list of the nations and
tates represented, with the number
# their delegates, follows:

LIS RAILROADS SEEK
WAGE REDUCTIONS
Federal Labor Board Closes Docket
with All Big Lines Except

Chicago, Ill.,, February 22.-More
than ITS railroads, including every
big transportation line in the country
except the Pennsylvania Railroad, had

present wages asked by the six rail-
way shop crafts unions, as announced
two months ago.
Hearings on the wage disputes for
all classes of employees except the five
train service brotherhoods-the engi-
neers, fremen, conductors, trainmen
and switchmen-will begin March 6,
the roads submissions generally seek
ing restoration of wages paid prior
to May /, 1920, when the first wage
award, amounting to 100000, 900, be-
came effective. The cross petitions
for more pay vary in the amounts
sought, ranging from 6 to Is cents an
hour.

GREAT OPPORTUNITY
FOR FARMERS

Monet will lhold her first sales day
for the year on Monday, March 6.
The sales day project has been plan
ned for the following twelve months
and each one will give the buying
public big bargains in merchandise in
Monett, and an opportunity to dispose
of their surplus from the farm with
only small outlay.
The Commercial Club wishes to en-
phasize the auction sale, held in con-
nection with sales day. Farmers,
who wish to dispose Of surplus stock
or produce may have their market
able wares advertised in the sales
sheet, free, by giving in their list to
the secretary of the club. John P.
Davis, twelve days before the sales
day. The club furnishes an auction
eer, and only a small per cent of the
sale price is asked in payment for the
sale of the goods.
The Club has no paid secretary to
go out among the farmers to work the
auction feature up, but would appre-
ciate their turning in their lists with
out solicitation. This is rare oppor-
tunity to dispose of surplus stock at
a very small cost.
