New Courthouse
Begins to Look
Like Business

Work on the new courthouse has
now reached the stage where its
progress can be noted by the pass
ersby in the street, and from now
on, greater interest will doubtless
be shown in the erection of the new
home for the government of I'M
perial county. The forms for the
concrete work now rise 10 or 10
feet in the air, following the lines
of the future walls Of the struct-
ure so that thev resemble a series
of trenches such as were used in
some of the training camps during
the war.
The next few months will be a
repetition of building forms and
pouring concrete until the walls of
the courthouse have reached their
designated height. Owing to the
favorable weather, which makes ii
possible to work every day, there
will be little or no delay in the
actual construction work.
Jarboe and Murray, general con-
tractors for the new building, have
a large force of men at work, and
with plenty Of material already on
the ground, progress should be
rapid

vice.
Following the session this morn

! SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-THE
maintenance of the United States
Navy up to the very limit Of
strength provided by the Washing
! ton naval limitations treaty, and
! the development of a powerful com
panion merchant marine, were pro-
posals brought before the fifth an
nual convention of the American
Legion here today.
The report of the naval affairs
committee, which probably will be
one of the most important commit
tee reports to make its appearance
at todav's session, expresses the
legion policy that there be no econ
omv in naval affairs that will Jeop-
ardize this country s position as one
of the leading naval powers.
Congress is asked to see to 1t that
the j-5-3 ratio be maintained III all
naval branches and that an ade-
ouate naval and marine corps re-
serve be maintained. The commit
tee report frames the policy that
the American merchant marine be so
developed that at least 80 per cent
of all American goods be carried in
American vessels and that the mer-
chant vessels may be adequate to the
emergency OF war.
The committees on resolutions
and legion policy are understood to
be confronted with dispOsing of a
resolution which would place the
legion on record as condemning the
Ku Klux Klan, it was learned. Klan
proponents and opponents are I'M
derstood to be attempting to reach
an agreement in committee on this
resolution so that it will not reach
the floor. The majority of these
two committees believes q klan
fight ON the convention floor would
be bitter and wish to avoid it if
possible.
Would Limit Aircraft
The committee on aeronautics has
its report nearly completed. This
committee is known to be favoring
an international conference to eff
feet a practicable limitation of air
craft armament. Pending the as
sembling of this conference, should
it be called, or the effecting of such
limitation, the United States will
be urged to use all means possible
to develop an aircraft armament
second TO none.
4 joint conference of the naval,
military and aeronautics committees
held last night considered the air
armament question.
The finance committee is expect
ed 20 report today or tomorrow with
its plan for keeping the legion on a
sound financial basis. Continuance
of the method of spending only so
per cent of its receipts i'll its work
and accumulation of the remainder
in a "safety fund.- is championed
by this committee, it was learned.
