DISASTER UPSETS
NAVY AIR PLANS
Loss of Shenandoah Forces
Calling a Halt in Navy
Air Experiments.
FORMULATE NEW PLAN

Washington, ID. C. = 81 The
disastrous loss of the dirigible Shen-
andoah apparently has thrown the
navy's whole future policy with re-
spect to lighter-than-air craft devel-
opment into a state of uncertainty.
Out of this may come a decision to
close down the navy's air station at
Lakehurst, N. J. Secretary Wilbur
is now considering the best course to
pursue and has definite plan in mind,
but will discuss the matter widely
with naval experts before announcing
any decision.
Wilbur Makes New Order.
The collapse of the Shenandoah, oc-
curing in the shadow of the failure
to find trace Of the missing PN-9, No
plane in an attempted Nonstop
flight to Hawaii, has not broken the
navy's determination to carry forward
aircraft development to the utmost
but Secretary Wilbur has decreed that
the rewards must be equal to the risk
He thus has ordered the plane Phi
which was planning to hop off from
San Francisco for Hawaii today in the
wake of the missing plane to abandon
the effort. Unless very positive rea'
sons develop to warrant it, he said the
fight will not be made.
"We have had enough trouble for a
WHILE" the secretary said. "And we
don't want to hazard the lives of 9TH
er men until we have some definite
reason for doing So"
Holds Seas Are Defense
AS its third reverse in recent weeks,
the navy also is contemplating now
the failure of its plans to achieve
their major mission with the MacMil-
Ian expedition in the Arctic. From
all of these, however, Secretary Will
bur draws the re-assuring conviction
that, in the expanse of the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans the United States
has a bulwark of defense which there
need be little fear of penetration by
present day enemy aircraft operating
from an overseas base.
The navy department already had
under consideration a future program
with respect to dirigibies, and the
Los Angeles and Shenandoah in par
ticular before the disaster to the lat
ter ship. How far this will affect the
program, not only it's bearing on the
problems of engineering science in
volved but the attitude of congress as
well, remains to be developed.
The secretary declined to say wheth-
er or not the Lakehurst station would
be closed, but no other official denied
that this step was in prospect.
As to the Los Angeles, now left as
the navy's only dirigible, Mr.. Wilbur
said the plan in mind for her would
not be affected by the loss of the
Shenandoah.
The loss Of helium in the wreck Of
the Shenandoah leaves on hand only
about half of the volume of gas nee
essary to initiate the Los Angeles.

HUGH MORTON
Is BOUND OVER
Judge Declares, However,
That He Has sympathy
for Defendant.
Is MATTER FOR JURY
Jury Must Decide Whether
Killing OF Lee West Was
Justifiable.

Although Judge Slater went so far
at the close of the preliminary hear
ing in the case of the state VS..
Hugh Morton as to say that "his
sympathies were the defendant" he
declared that it was his duty to bind
the defendant over to circuit court on
the charge of murder of Lee West,
leaving it with jury to decide wheth-
er or not the killing of West was
justifable.
3 The judges decision came at the
close of the days hearing in the case,
and in ordering the defendant bound
over he denied the motion of the at
torney for the defense, Walter Ham
mond.
West Assaulted House.
Under the states own evidence, it
was shown that Lee West had come. to
the home of Hugh Morton after one
o'clock in the morning and demanded
to see his wife, from whom he was
estranged, and that when he was re-
fused adnlittance, he kicked in first
the window frame and then the door,
being met by Morton with shotgun.
The testimony showed that Morton
had warned the irate man that If he
came further, he would be shot, but
that he continued to plunge in. The
testimony of the police officers showed
that bottle of Intoxicating liquor was
found in Lee Vests Ford coupe short
ly after the shooting.
With this evidence before the court,
Mr.. Hammond argued that the state
had not proven the commission of an
offense, as the law holds that if a
crime is not committed, if Staying
takes place in resisting a felony, COM
mitted upon the defendant or upon
any dwelling house.
II will agree with counsel on the
law" said Judge Slater, "that every
thing in this case establishes a de-
tense. But all the distinguished au-
thorities on the law agree that when
a life has been taken it is a matter for
a jury, not for a magistrate, to de-
eide whether that taking Of life was
defensible or not.
~ will say that the district attorney
has big job to secure a conviction
in such a case as this, and that my
sympathies are with the defendant.
But, however, it Is my duty to find
that an offense has been committed
and that there is probable cause to
believe the defendant guilty. He will
be bound over for trial to the next
term of the circuit court"

practice what they preach in Wlscon-
SIM" asked the senator. Governor
Blaine had the last legislature IN the
hollow of his hand; when he cracked
the whip, they danced; he may have
had 10 offer some appointments to
few but he got their votes anyway.
What is the exemption in this state
Not $4,000 as in the federal law but
$1,000; it was raised to $1,000 at the
last legislature with slight raise in
the exemption for dependencies. Why
haven't Bobbie, Blaine and Ekern
raised the exemption in the state of
Wisconsin? Let them answer that. "
On Esch Cummins Bill.
He also discussed the Esch Cum
minis bill, calling to attention the fact
that the so-called Progressives are
not repeating the statements which
they made regarding that in 1920.
s'They know that lie won't serve any
longer" declared Senator Lenroot. ut
was lie in 1920 and is now and every
voter known its. The fact that the
st. Paul line is now in bankruptcy
has shown without doubt that the
government never, guaranteed any
earnings to the railroads. If further
proof is needed look at the drop in
the value of the railway stocks:
North Western was at 1870, and is
now below 100; St. Paul stock was at
102, and is now at 9.
"Now one of them has new state
ment about the Esch- Cummins law.
He declares that the railways have
taken more than billion and half
dollars more than they are entitled
to in earnings during the past year.
The net railway revenue for the year
was a billion dollars. How in the
name of common sense could they
have taken a billion and half more
than they were entitled to? In order
to cut down their revenues a billion
and a half it would be necessary not
only not to pay interest or dividends
but also to reduce the wages of all
railway employees 500 million more.
Do they want US to do that?
Zone trouble we real Republicans
have in Wisconsin is that we feel
some honor in telling the facts, we
feel it isn't fair to lie. The other side
hasn't any such scruples; anything to
get your vote is their policy"
On Debt Funding.
The senator also touched on the
debt funding question, declaring that
as long as European nations had
money to build navies and to finance
small nations in war, they had money
to pay their debts to the United
States.
In closing his address, Senator Len
root appealed for united support be-
hind Roy P. Wilcox to back the
Coolidge administration and to put an
end to the Madison ring" in Wiscon-
sin. "You may not like everything
about Wilcox, he may not be your
preference, but it is time for team
work, time to forget minor issues and
unite on the main issue-to redeem
Wisconsin. Hasn't this bunk in Wis
consin gone about far enough?
Hasn't the time come when as intelli-
gent men and women we should get
the facts and favor just and capable
government? That is the question
you are to answer at the polls at the
primary election. A vote for Wilcox
is vote to endorse the Coolidge ad-
ministration and help it and a vote to
redeem Wisconsin"

TWO BANDITS
PART COMP ANY
Lincoln Hill Goes to Wau-
pun; Daniel Johnson
to Green Bay.
BOTH ARE SENTENCED
Each Draws Indeterminate
Sentence for Crime of
Auto Theft.

"You two young men have been to-
gether too much" said Judge Slater
in the municipal court to Lincoln Hill
and Daniel johnson late Friday after
noon as he pronounced sentence on
the first for stealing an automobile
and on the second for aiding and abet-
ting felony.
Hill, who is % years old, and john
son, who is q entered pleas Of guilty
to the charge and Judge Slater de-
ferred sentence until he could look
further into their histories.
Spectacular Confessions" in which
each admitted series of crimes in
GLIDING the hold-up and robbery of a
woman in a Ford sedan on Milwau-
kee avenue just the other side of the
state line, were laid before the judge.
Admit Truth of Confessions.
care these stories true as told in
your confession?" Judge Slater asked.
Both answered, Eyes, sir" "And were
they obtained from you voluntarily,
without force ?" the judge asked, and
again the question was in the af1rma-
tive.
you two have lost all respect for law"
said the Judge. "You thought you saw
an easy way to make living by TAX
ing the property of other people. Most
of these people got their property
back, that should be an extenuating
element for you.
"But jumping on that automobile
south of the state line is something
which cannot understand" continued
the court. Had this happened in the
state of Wisconsin you would have
been liable to ten years in state pris-
on, and were you prosecuted in ILL
nois on this charge l believe the pun
ishment would be the same under the
laws of that state"
Hill told the court that "this work,
this outlaw stuff happened six months
ago, and since then they had gone
straight"
Hill the ''Master Mind"
Judge Slater said that he believed
that Hill, the older by year, is the
master mind" of the two. "But you,
Johnson" he added, "heve reached the
age Of manhood, you are not addicted
to drink, you knew what you were do
ing. You have a good father" III
have yes, sir" agreed Johnson con-
tritely). 81 should like to do as he
suggested, parole you, but can't. l
cannot ignore the things which you
yourself admit having done.
"You two young men have been too
much together, and now / am going to
separate YOU" the judge went on.
Lincoln Hill was given an indeter-
inmate sentence Of from one to five
years in the state prison at Waupun,
and Daniel Johnson was given an In
determinate sentence of one to five
years in the state reformatory at
Green Bay.
The Judge explained that under the
indeterminate sentence they would be
subject to parole if they behaved
themselves, and that it was up to them
to so conduct themselves that they
would show they had been taught a
lesson.
