AIR BOMBS PROVED
TOO WEAK IN TEST
Army Planes Must Be Built
Bigger to Sink Warships,
Patrick Testifies.

Modern battleships have the power
Of resisting bombs carried by the
type Of airplanes possessed by the
United States Army. Maj. Gen. Pat
rick. chief of the Army Air Service.
said yesterday in testifying before
the House committee investigating.
aircraft problems. \.
Tests on the hull OF the uncomplet-
ed battleship Washington, Off the vir-
ginia Capes recently, he said. proved
that the Army bombing craft were
obsolescent and should be replace
with bigger and more powerful ships
capable of carrying bombs, which
would be effective against modern
enemy capital ships.
The United States, he said, had de-
veloped types of bombing planes,
which equalled any in the world, but
service were Of ae older type.
Bomb Defenses Improved.
Gen. Patrick pointed out that a race
between battleship designers and
makers ofsaircraft and aircraft bombs
was In progress similar to that which
has gone on for years between armor
for battleships and armor piercing
pro1ectfles for great naval rifles
Bombs Of a size that could be carried
by the present day Army bombers
were Of sufficient power to sink or
cripple any battleship Of a pre-Jut-
land type. he said, but the expert
ments against the post-Jutland Wash
fngton, had made 1t obvious that
more powerful and heavier bombs
would be required.
The statement to the committee
was In line with that made by Secre-
tary Wilbur in his recent appearance
before the House naval appropria-
tions subcommittee in urging that
funds be made available to strength
en-. the decks and install blister pro-
lection on pre-Jutland battleships of
the American fleet
The Secretary said that tests had
shown that the deck armor OF even
the older battleships would resist ex-
plosions of bombs dropped on those
decks. but. he added, that protection
must be provided against armor- pierc-
ing aerial bombs. The naval Secre-
tary also said that the proposed mod
ernization work on the old battle
ships was expected to render them
as secure from aerial or submarine
attack as was possible in the case of
any old ship.
Throws Light on Tests.
ASsoiiS VI luc con-
Quoted against the Washington's hull
nave never been revealed by the Navy
Department, which regards the data
as highly confidential. Gen. Patrick's
statement yesterday, however, threw
additional light on the subject. as
there had been no official announce
ment that the ship had been attacked
from the air with heavy bombs and
mad wfthstood the attack. She was
sum- by the big guns of the battle
ship Texas. ~.
Gen. Patrick also discussed before
the committee the decline of the air.
craft building industry in the United
states. While the Army Air Service
mad attempted to 'standarize types of
planes 1t required, so far as was pos
sible in the present stage of aircraft
development, he said, it had been
| necessary to place orders for Army
aircraft through negotiated contracts
rather than by competitive bidding
| in order that as many aircraft fac
tories as possible might be kept alive.

MOVES TO prevent
MONEY OLIGARCHY
Ayres Proposes Radical Change in
Federal Reserve
Elections.

Proposing to put stop to the build
ing up OF a financial oligarchy." Repre-
sentative William A. Ayres Of Kansas.
Democrat, a member Of the House ap-
propriations committee, yesterday pro-
posed a radical change in the Federal
Reserve act in regard to the election of
Federal Reserve Bank directors.
In brief. the bill introduced by Rep
resentative Ayres proposes that every
director Of a Federal Reserve Bank
shall hold office for a term Of three
years. and be ineligible to. again hold
that position until another three years
have elapsed.
In explaining what he proposes to ac-
complish through this legislation, and
what he means by building up a flnan-
cial oligarchy," Representative Ayree
points out that "in several of the Fed
eral Reserve districts the officers and d.
rectors have themselves reelected, and
in doing SO can form a combine against
certain localities in their districts. 1t
has been charged in some districts this
Is. or has, been done. OF course, it is
not charged openly because Of fear on
the part Of the bankers in such iocali-
ties
'It is contrary to the intent and
spirit Of the Federal Reserve act for q
set Of directors to perpetuate them
selves in office. This is being done
through influence with member banks
they are able to dictate their reelection.
I have seen letters sent out by these d.
rectors soliciting their reelection as
directors, and also letters sent out by
their friends for the same purpose
When q bank receives such letters its
officers hesitate to say no.
..It may be for the best interests OF
the Federal Reserve banking system to
have the active officers in such banks,
80 long as they are competent, succeed
themselves, but 1t is a mistake for the
directors in these banks constantly to
re-elect themselves"

WOMAN FATALLY
INJURED BY AUTO
Victim Unidentified-Driver
Did Not See Her Until
Too Late.

An unidentified white woman about
so years of age was knocked down
and fatally injured last night on First
street between Randolph and r
streets by an automobile operated by
Randolph Norup of III Adams street
northwest.
She was crossing the street, accord
ing to the story Norup told police,
and he did not see her form in mid
block until only few feet from her.
He s., Il an automobile running south
was j2st passing his machine, which
was running north when he noticed
the form of the woman. She seemed
to be swerving, he said, although
he was not sure whether she had
been hit by the other machine or
| not. He jammed on his brakes. he
| told the police, but the distance was
| too short to prevent hitting her
Police believe that the woman
| passed in the rear Of the south bound
automobile from the west side Of the
street toward the east side into the
| path of Norup's automobile. After the
accident, Norup stopped and picked
up the woman, speeding to Sibley
Hospital, where she was pronounced
dead by DR.. Rogers. 49,. -
Norup was taken to the second pre-
cinct to be held pending order of the
coroner.
Police Immediately started work in
an attempt to learn the identity Of
the victim. In her pocket was found
a. thin piece of "fimsy" or tissue
paper, bearing the name Mrs. Annie
E. Robinson" The paper was the
| type used in the United States Rail-
road Administration. police estab-
lfshed. Another piece of paper from
the Bureau of Lighthouses of the De-
partment of Commerce also was found
on her person. zee,
The woman was OF medium stout
ness with mixed gray hair and a
round broad face. She wore a black
velvet hat relieved Of somberness by
bright pink band. Her outer coat
was black and three-quarter-length
garment. She also wore a suit coat
with white collar and a tan blouse
with blue and red squared figures.
Her skirt was black with white and
red stripes, and she wore high tan
shoes and black stockings.

b0RAH GETS FACTS
OF MYSTERY FUND
Campaign Expenditures Com
mittee to Consider Docu-
ments This Week.

Having come into session of
documents bearing on the mystery
story Of campaign expenditures re-
lated by two Chicago men, Chairman
Borah, of the Senate campaign in
vestigating committee. said yester-
day he would call the committee to-
gether early this week to consider
the matter.
These documents are the ones
Samuel Untermyer, New York attor-
ney. who assisted in prosecuting the
prediction inquiry of the COMMITTEES,
presented at Chicago to Chairman
Butler OF the Republican national
committee, who testified that he had
never seen them before and had no
information as to their subject mat
ter
Up to this time the documents have
been closely guarded as profound
secrets for the disclosing of which
neither Mr.. Untermyer nor the COM
mittee would assume responsibility.
AS described yesterday by Senator
Borah they are kilograms purported
to have been sent from the Franklin
National Bank at Washington, D. c.,
to the Federal reserve banks at St.
Louis, Kansas, City, Minneapolis and
San Francisco, and referring to
$1.000.000 to be sent to those banks
in equal installments Of $250,000 for
use on behalf Of the Republican ma
tional ticket In the last campaign.
The documents came into the pos
session of Mr.. Untermyer while the
Senate committee was sitting in
Washington last October. 1t was the
understanding at that time that two
telegraph operators had identified
them as messages they had seen.
Mr.. Untermyer said he did not care
to spread the evidence on the record
without further substantiation be-
cause Of the possible effect on the
Republican campaign and asked that
the committee hear with esses In ex-
ecutive session. This the committee
refused to do.
There the matter rested until the
Chicago end of the hearing was re-
opened.

Trojans Direct
Attention To
Future p olicy

LOS ANGELES, Nov. A. With
the cancellation of Saturday s sched-
uled football game with Stanford
off their chests, University of
Southern California officials today
directed their attention to lining up
a future athletic policy for the Tro-
Jan institution.
1t is regarded as probable that
U. S. c. may appear in the Tourna-
ment of Roses New Year IS at Pasa-
dena. It has been announced that
tournament sponsors have thrown
their allegiance to u. S. G. in the
coast s tangled athletic situation,
and that the Trojans may be invit
ed to oppose, Notre Dame in the
rose engagement.
An estimate Of the financial loss
entertained by U. S. c. in the can
collation. of Saturdays game places
the figure at $4,000. Part of the
loss will be carried by the Coliseum
management.
Following yesterdays action,
which informed Stanford that con
ditions made a Stanford-U. s. C.
game "clearly a mercenary exhibi-
tion devoid of the spirit of inter-
collegiate sportsmanship" and that
the contest "be hereby cancelled, "
a telegraphic vote, taken by all nine
colleges in the conference, sided 5
to 4 with the Trojans and declared
the four freshmen barred from the
California game last Saturday as
eligible for any other conference
game during the rest of the season.

Los ANGELES, Nov 4.-The
of Southern California
will not meet Stanford University
in football Saturday,
The associated student body Of
the local University at a mass meet
ing late Yesterday voted unanimous-
ly to cancel the scheduled contest
as a result Of the action of Stanford
and the University of California in
refusing to meet U. s. c. in athletic
competition after this year
Announcement of the action was
made by New Lewis, president of
the associated student body.
The cancellation of the Stanford
game is considered Il protest, fol

California with the L. S. c. over the
charge that Bill Cole, star U. S. c..
player, was paid for coaching the
Santa Ana high school team.
Action of the local university
students was not unexpected. The
hundreds who returned from the
game with California Saturday, at
which the split was announced, were
incensed at the action of the north
crn schools.
Particularly were they vexed at
the distribution of hand bills
around the Berkeley amphitheater
announcing the action 1t would
