T the bottom of the Bay of
Al Naples lies a city. Archaeolo-
gists have christened it Paleo-
polls. 1t is belived to have been the
earliest Greek colony in Italy.
Now DR.. Hans Hartman plans to
explore Paleopolis with the aid of a
great steel diving bell which has
been built for him at the Krupp steel
works in Essen. Germany.
The bell is a great steel cylinder
with heavy glass window in 1t and
is designed to Withstand the pressure
Of the water at depth of $4,000
feet.
Divers cannot descend more than
200 feet because of the increase in
pressure. But DR.. Hartman has al
ready descended 1900 feet In a div
ing bell.
The new diving bell is equipped
with powerful searchlights for illu-
minating the water around it.
DIR. Hartman will take a motion
picture camera with him when he
has his diving bell lowered into the
water-filled streets of Paleopolis.

County Roads

r T Mess the county and the State get to-
" gether in the matter of road construction
it appears that no more roads may be built
for some time.
One of the argun ents seems to be over
the question of whether Marion County roads
should be eighteen or twenty feet wide. The
State specifications call for eighteen-foot roads.
The county wishes to build twenty-foot roads.
The width of it's own roads is detail that
should be decided by the county building them.
In fact, there is no reason why the State
should interfere with the construction of coun-
ty roads. Assuredly, the taxpayers should be
protected to the extent that there may be
open competition in bidding on contracts and
to the extent that they receive dollar s worth
of road for every dollar spent. But the ques-
ton Of width is one which should be determined
by local conditions
Traffic conditions in Marion County are
heavier than in any county in the State. Au-
tomobile traffic is growing daily and no one
can foresee to what extent it will increase in
the future. This would seem to be better
argument for a twenty -foot road than for
an eighteen-foot road in Marion County.

Cabinet Meeting Topics

A number of major situations
are awaiting the Executives atten.

under discussion tomorrow when the
President meets with his cabinet
for the first time in nearly three
months.
The anthracite strike Is quite
important for the Coolidge admin
istrstion.
The public, in the opinion Of Mr..
Coolidge, Is well protected from
bad results of the present suspen-
siog, but he has determined that
Congress at the next session should
pass legislation that win safeguard
the ultimate consumer from any
future strike that might endanger
the supply.
Other Matters Waiting
Another matter is the appoint.

FOR NAVY
SCOUT BOATS
STARTED
Six River Craft for Chinese
Patrol Service Also
Authorized

Plans for the construction of the
two scout cruisers and six river
gunboats, authorized for the navy
by Congress, are being prepared by
the Navy Department. They are to
cost not exceeding $11, 900, 900 each,
exclusive of armor and armament.
The boats will be of the highest
practicable speed and OF the
greatest desirable radius of action.
Under the naval treaty they
cannot exceed 10000 tons in dis
placement and the size OF their
guns is limited to not more than
eight.inch caliber. The plans OF the
Navy Department, which are to be
ready in December, call for ships
Of the maximum, as to speed and
armament, that can be produced
within those limitations, and navy
ordnance experts have designed the
most powerful eight-inch gun ever
produced for naval purposes.
Bids will be invited for construc,
ton of one OF the cruisers under
contract, and the other will be con-
structed at the New York navy
yard. The naval authorities hope
that appropriations for the fiscal
year 1927 will include provision for
construction OF the remaining six
cruisers authorized by Congress.
The commander-in-chief Of the
Asiatic Station, has been instructed
by the Navy Department to obtain
bids OF Chinese and British con.
Germs IN that section for construc.
ton of the six river gunboats,
which will cost not to exceed $40.
600 each.
These small gunboatsa are for
patrol service on Chinese rivers to
protect American citizens and in.
terests. 1t has been the recognized
practice of the principal powers for
many years to maintain small gun.
boats for this purpose on the
Yangtze Kiang river.

BERLIN, Sept. 10. Pastor
Strohschein and his son, allegedly
the American organizers of the
knights of the Fiery Cross" the
German branch of the Ku Klux
Khan, have been arrested in Bres-
lau, the police announced today.
The Strohscheins are being
brought to Berlin, where it is
understood they will be charged
with conspiracy. They are re-
ported by the police to have been
attempting to escape from Ger
many when captured.
Third American Escapes
Pastor tStrohschein and his son,
managed to escape just before the
disclosure that branch of the
American masked order had been
established in Berlin.
The third American. a student
named Gray, from Chicago, re-
turned to the United States three
weeks ago. it was learned. His Ger
man.American associates also were
former residents of Chicago, it was
believed.
The German police took a severe
stand toward the foreign organi-
zers and the Germans they enlisted
AZ knights of the Fiery Cross -
The American embassy was in
formed the Americans would be
tried for conspiracy, when cap
tured, as win the twenty-five Ger
mans. who already have been
taken in custody.
Under Atlanta Orders
According to reports, as many
a. 1000 Germans already had been
''naturalized" into the order. The
same formula as the American
maskers employ was used, and
police asserted documents seized
show the organizers were acting
under instructions from head
quarters in Atlanta.
The police consider the Amer
leans as swindlers, they said, and
the SO fee they exacted from their
German followers was a form of
robbery.
The police later refuted their pre-
vious charges that the organizers
OF the German K K X were
American ''swindIers." and stated
that they have evidence that the
leaders of the movement have ex-
tensive funds contributed by Ameri-
can members Of the Ku Klux Khan.
A complete list Of the German
members of the organization has
been confiscated, bearing about
1000 names, most of whom have
been identified as ltra-nationalists,
between the ages of thirty and
forty.
Police say the German khan main

A reconciliation OF the divergent
elements in the world court contro.
versy will demand more OF Mr..
Coolidge's time.
He has let it be known that he
believes the movement for Ameri-
can entry ID gaining strength and
that he Is confident the Senate will
pass the necessary resolution, but
he realized that much work must
be done to aolidify the views Of q
sufficient number Of that body 70

The presence on board the Presi-
Dental special OF Senator William

man of the Republican National
Committee, gave rise to some
political speculation.
Butler is scheduled to make a
swing around the country shortly

cussing the chances Of the Repub-

days children of this region have
waited for the familiar bell and
call of WILLIAM Brown, the towns

fists squeeze nickels while they
wat long and in vain for Brown s
familiar ring.
While Brown was driving into
town with his horse and buggy an
express train on the West Jerse.y
4 Seashore Railroad struck the
vehicle. Brown, seventy-three years
old, and his neighbor, George Gas.
XIII, sixty-nine. years old, were
both killed. Railroad men found
Brown holding a bag of nickels
which children had paid him for
his wares on the holiday. His horse
was cut loose by the. train and was
not hurt.
