The North Dakota hasn't done
any fighting to pay for her keep.
She remained on this side of the
water throughout the war. She's
never fired shot in anger.
But she's trained a lot of naval
officers and gobs in the technique Of
their profession. So she's had an

Democrats Debate
Shifting Convention
To- Bronx Armorv

NEW YORK, April 15.-By the
Associated Press.)-The Democratic
national convention next June may
be held in the 25Sth field artillery
armory in the Bronx instead of Mad
ison Square Garden, it was learned
today from authoritative sources.
The subcommittee of the national
committee, which is arranging de-
tails of the convention, has consid-
cred a possible change, because of
the unprecedented demand for seats.
The garden can only seat 1921 per
sons, whereas the Bronx armory can
seat between q, 900 andi25,0 900.
The huge armory, described as the
largest convention hall in the world,
covers 1906 square feet. It is 60l
feet long and 800 feet wide and there
are no posts to obstruct the view OF
the spectators. The gallery alone
will care for 5000.

WEALTHY TENNESSEE
FARMER BELIEVED
KIDNAPPED Or SLAIN

LEBANON, Tenn, April 15.-That
a financIa Ideal was responsible for
the alleged kidnapping or possible
Staying of Jack Buchanan, reputed
the wealthiest citizen Of Wilson coun-
ty, is one theory upon which officers
are working, according to c. S.
Reeves, sheriff of Wilson county,
who is leading the hunt. A reward
Of $500 is offered for his recovery.
The missing man has not been
heard from since neighbors saw him
ride off with an unidentified man
in an automobile which pulled UP in
front of his home last Wednesday
night about o'clock just as Mr..
Buchanan arrived home and was
becloned to by the man in the
motor car, which was described as
a dilapidated machine. They drove
south, neighbors said.
Mr.. Buchanan would not have
gone away with the intention of not
returning" Sheriff Reeves stated.
HE was an upright, citizen and well
respected. Of course he had enemies,
as any man has in a town where he
makes more money than anybody
else"
The officers place little faith in
the robbery theory, as Mr.. Buchanan
had only diamond ring in waltz
ables on his person when he left, ac-
cording to Frank S. Buchanan, his
son. who came to Nashville in search
of information that might shed any
light on the mysterious disappear
ance Of his father.
Several deputies and a hundred
citizens Of the community have
secured the section in search Of Mr..
Buchanan without avail, though
Sheriff Reeves intimated that there
might be developments soon.
Apprehension is expressed by
Frank Buchanan as to whether his
father will be found alive. He is
known to have been man who
loaned money on mortgaged prop
erty, and some Of his friends believe
that he may have fallen prey to
enemies in business transactions.
Mr.. Buchanan is 72 years old. He
owns a farm on the Cumberland
river and plantation in Mississippi.
Communication with these has es-
tablished no clue.

from the standpoint Of those who
see insurance in a strong navy.
Again, some people don't.
And she'll have whatever value
she may represent as a target.
That's educational again.
Naval enthusiasts undoubtedly
will say the North Dakota fully paid
for herself, and more, too, as al edu.
cational and an insurance PROPOSE
ton. The average taxpayer proba-
bly, will say he guesses he got some
thing back for his money, but he
isn't altogether certain he got $25,-
000,0 worth. UItra-radicals will
say the whole thing was wasted
and worse, because militaristic.
The United States had and still
has to scrap number Of fighting
ships, under the limitation Ct arms
agreement. Naturally it picked out
its oldest ones to scrap.
OF these old vessels, the North
Dakota aud the Delaware are the
newest.
