COMMITTEE ROW ENDS IN CALL
 FOR NAVY PROBE
Coolidge Reveals Plan To Call World Disarma-
 ment Conference
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.--The future of the American navy took on g new aspect today with simultaneous expression of opinion from both the White House and the house naval com mittee as to what should be the first step in that direction. &
 Just as the house committee decided to begin an inquiry into the needs of the navy, it was revealed that Presi- dent Coolidge still is hopeful that an other international arms limitation conference may be held during 1925.
 Although the President is not Ien- tirely convinced that such conference will be possible, he, nevertheless, is hopeful that an opportune time VIII arise for such a venture.
 The naval committee in agreeing to motion for an investigation, took the nosition that Secretary Wilbur should he given an immediate opportunity to present to congress such recommenda- tions as he might deem expedient.
 Follows Stormy Session
 The action was taken after stormy session. and it was only after much de- bate that a decision was reached to have MT. Wilbur appear before the committee January 8, for this purpose.
 During the discussion Chairman Butler of the committee, announced he had been informed unofficially Of the attitude Of the White House regarding another naval limitations conference. Il was at the suggestion of MT. Butler however, that the motion, as approved was made. The chairman said he or fered the motion because he had been charged with attempting to override the will of the committee. MT. Coolidge will exert his influence to bring about another arms limitation conference whenever the time is considered pro pitious, but at present he is unable te determine just when such conference could be called with fair prospects oi success.
 Action Is Compromise
 The action of the house committed | represented a compromise between those desiring to take up a bill proposing naval building program and members who sought to have the committee al rect it's attention to a measure designed to adjust certain irregularities in the naval establishment.
 MT. Butler and several committee members opposed the proposal to cal

SENATOR WALSH
 AGAIN TO LIFT LID ON TEAPOT DOME
Senate To Be Asked M0n- day To Approve Report
 Conforming Lease
fCnnvrigI1t. 1024l

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-Teapot Dome, dormant, since it figured in cam paign talk before the election, will spout again next Monday. At that time Sen ator Walsh of Montana, who conducted the famous oil investigation, will ask the senate to approve the report of the public lands committee condemning the leases made by former Secretary Of the Interior Fall, on which action was blocked last session.
 Once thrown into the senate again, there can be no telling what may hap pen. It may pass quietly or there may be flare-up comparable to those which kept the senate in constant turmoil last session.
 time may lead to airing the most recent turn of the cases now before the courts, the investigation of new evidence pur- porting to show that Fall received at least 800, 900 in liberty bonds from pro- ceeds of a "paper" company in whose formation Harry Sinclair is named as principal. Continuation of the govern ment's case was granted recently Tn or der that additional clues of further transfer of liberty bonds to Fall may be traced.
 Fall was shown no mercy by demo- crats in the senate last session. De- cause of disappointment that the issue failed to "take" in the election, they may seize this opportunity to pour salt into the old wounds.
 Action on Walsh's report last session was held up by Senator Spencer of Ms souri, a member of the, committee, on the ground that minority report ne was preparing had not been completed. l. of kho oil nor known whether he will attempt to pre- vent action at this time. Walsh's re- port is signed by seven other members of the committee, including Senator Iadd of North Dakota, chairman.
 Walsh said Tuesday that he expects adoption of his report by the senate, ana does not look for any considerable de- bate when it is presented. He said ne would make only brief speech, urging that it be adopted. The quiet-mannered Montana senator has a way ot coming out of his shell unexpectedly, however. and he may say some things that VIII agitate republicans and stir up other democrats.
 Walsh recommended certain legisla- tion in the report he drew up and pre- sented to the committee, but It was stricken out, on the ground that s1ch recommendations should await dlsposl- tion of the ceses in the courts.
 Walsh probably will review his recon mendations fer legislation if the govern ment wins the suits, and again. obtains control of the navy's reserves. These recommendations provide:
 1. No lease can be made except upon competitive bids.
 2. No lease can be made Yxcept TOT the purpose of protecting tbe reserves from drainage, unless in Ease Of an emergency proclaimed by te President.
 8. Every lease must b4 approved by the comptroller general b Fore taking ef- feet. 4. .,
 4. That the author%y to exchange oil ia restricted to the kchange of crude oil ormawsrs.sas tsaGal,aiE or other products or SPivatives of oil or gas.

There is nothing inherently inn probable in the yarn, TOT many of these unknown rich are pathetically unoccu- pied. Their lawyers handle the money some one has left them. There are skyscrapers full of lawyers of this type. Society bores them, they are appalled, by the out-of-doors, their homes are run by competent nousekeepers and they do not read. From sheer ennul they become collectors.
 They have their place in life, just as have the redhot worms some scientist has recently found at work running glaciers. They keep the innumerable curiosity shops and antique stores go- ing.
 If there were but one kitchen chair of nine made by Ethan Allen in 1742 it might be worth $500 to a museum. But argument will never prove to me that all kitchen chairs of this vintage are worth that price. These Jobless millionaires set the value. When they have bought a barn-full of Ethan AL lens chairs they lose interest, and be- gin to collect the glass bottles made by Solomon Hoopengobbler in 1901. More than one fortune has been given to charity in the last decade by men known to their fellows as being as hard hearted as General Sherman's statue. Charity was just a substitute for glass bottles.
 On the whole prefer the newer mill lionaires who made their money in war babies, and are shooting it on yachts and country houses. They are more human than the weazened little shrimps who totter in chase of silver-plated vinegar cruets. One of them went to sleep in his theater box the other night, mussed and red-faced, while one of the ladies in his party was violently ill. But perhaps I shouldn't tell tales about sick ladies.
 It should be urged, too, that the motto seems to be a short life and a merry one for a green-stick millionaire. Many have sold their houses and gone back to work in the last few years. Not admirable, perhaps, but shucks !!
 Better than spending your life col lecting colonial pants buttons.

 q counted seventeen millionaires sit ting there," he said. And no one knows a dern one of them. And they don't know where to go"
 It was Saturday afternoon and the stock exchange had closed and they didn't have blessed thing with which to occupy themselves until 10 o'clock Monday morning. Later on saw what was said to be a correct list of New York's millionaires. I've forgotten now how many there were, but what struck me hardest was that nine out of ten were unknown.
 Ont where I come from a man with a two-story brick barn was as con spicuous as a fire in a tobacco ware house.
 Not long ago an old lady died in town leaving an estate of $12,000 900. So far as the world knew, she hadn't done a blessed thing in her life. She was wholly unknown. Not until the executors began to dig into her effects was one heart-warming fact revealed.
 She had chest after chest filled with the most superb shawls and scarfs of the most eXOIlC COlOrb duu ucSABuc. ~ was her one touch of romance. Barred off from the world, she satisfied her starved heart by drawing these gorge ous fabrics through her thin hands. Except for the glint and flare of these silks her life was as drab as that of an old maid in a poorhouse.
 Someone-probably the reigning Nor gan-gave a collection of whatchfobs to the Metropolitan Museum the other day. Our great-grandfathers wore them. Silk and gold and huge, mis- shapen seals that thumped on the rounded dummies of our progenitors They were worth, one hears, an in credible sum because of their rarity and beauty. And here is the story that goes with them.
 Mind you, do not vouch for it, but the tale is that an unknown rich mar made that collection. He gladly travelled to Europe on the hint that ( pawnbroker on the Liepziegerstrasse had a quaint fob for sale. They cant into the hands of the donor on hi' death.
