NEW HOPE BARGE

MAN I'M DhED
Last Friday afternoon James Rose,
of New Hope, who was on one of
the boats operating on the canal
thru this place, was seriously in
jured when he fell into the hold of
his boat while it was at Point
Pleasant. He was taken in an un-
conscious condition to the Doyles-
town Emergency Hospital, and on
Monday was reported still uncon-
scious.
AS the fall only resulted in a
fractured collarbone, it is thought
that Mr.. Rose, who is 10 years of
age suffered a stroke of apoplexy
before he fell. This would account
for his not regaining consciousness

New Bedford. Mass, May ESSEN
ator William NJ. Butler was given a
rousing welcome home to his native
city here tonight with a banquet and
reception in his, honor, attended by
$50 at the New Bedford Hotel
Senator Butler after referring to
his early life in New Bedford and its
change from a whaling to a textile
center, said: Recently we have
heard more or less about New Eng
land and Massachusetts,, with refer
ence to the textile industry, and
sometime we have been a little dis
couraged. But my feeling is that the
present depression is merely temper
AIRY. We have been through these
things before. l think that at pres
ent We are suffering almost wholly
from conditions in connection with
the settlement that is going on all
over the world following the great
war.
Il do not desire to set up as a
prophet but believe there is a great
deal of energy, skill and wisdom in
New Bedford, and New England. We
have got to be courageous and we
have got to fight our way, but we
will go into conditions of prosperity.
and I predict that it will not be long
before We get some evidence of it,

President Would
Like to Make Cut
In Army Expenses

Washington, May 2S.-(AP)-Staff
officers at the war department contin-
ued work today on the studies they are
making to carry GU suggestions from
the White House that data be prepared
which will show what effect a pro-
gressive reduction in appropriation
extending over period of about FIVE
years would have upon the military es-
tablishment.
From one source of information It
was learned that the study Is based
upon the suggestion that as part of the
administrations economy program mil
itary funds provided for the regular
army, the national guard and the or
ganized reserves. the three components
of the new army of the United States,
might be reduced at the rate of $7.000,-
900 year for a five-year period.
War department officials fatty re-
fused to give any light on those
phases of the study having to do with
the application of such a reduction to
the various army components.
Acting Secretary Davis declined to
comment regarding the study OF its
purposes, declaring the department
had not and would not authorize any
statement in connection with publish
ed reports relating to it. Those ia
miliar with conditions which have
arisen in the army by virtue of re-
auctions in personnel and funds made
since the war, however are seriously
perp1exed over the possibility Of still
further cuts.
In this connection 1t was pointed out
that the army, with present author
lied enlisted strength of $4,000 men,
already reached point close to that
which existed before the war. The au-
thorized enlisted strength having been
1883 in 1916.

SAYS NOTHING TO

AMUNDSEN LOST

Oslo, Norway. May es.--(AP)-
There is no reason for supposing the
Amundsen North Pole expedition has
met with disaster. according to the
Norwegian Aeronautic Association,
which points out that Captain Amund-
sens instructions to the other mem
bers of the expedition aboard the ves-
sells Farm and Hobby were that the
polar flight might last fortnight. He
is also said to have instructed these
ships to patrol along the ice edge in
the event he did not return within
fortnight.
In order to make this patrol as eff
cient as possible. the association has
asked the ministry OF defense to place
the Farm. which is a naval transport
ship, at the disposal of the associa-
ton for a considerably longer period
than was originally intended. and, fur
Their. to order two naval airplanes to
assist in the patrol.
The associations requests that the
two planes be sent to Spitzbergen,
where patrols were on duty two years
ago waiting for Amundsen on his
fight from Wainwright.
The association is also asking that
Donald B. Macmillan, who Is soon to
leave for the Arctic with an all
American expedition, be on the lookout
around Cape Columbia.
The Shipping Gazette, commenting
on the American preparations for
rescue expedition, voices thanks for
the official and private interest which
is being shown in the United States
Backed by rich American resources,
It adds, the problem OF rescue Is more
sure of successful solution.

GOVT. WINS SUIT
TO KILL CONTRACTS
OF PETROLEUM co,

Los Angeles. May 2S.-(AP)-
Federal Judge Paul j. Mccormick
today decided in favor of the United
States government in its suit to can
eel contracts and leases held by the
Pan-American Petroleum and Tran
sport Company and the Pan-Ameri-
can Petroleum Company in the Elk
Hills Naval reserve California.
The trial of this suit in equity
against the Doheny oil interests
opened in Los Angeles October "a.
last, and continued for several
weeks.
1t was the first of the cases grow
ing out of the United States senate
investigation into naval oil reserves
to be brought to trial. The govern
ment asked that the court cancel two
contracts and two leases entered in
to between the government and the
defending companies. providing for
the operation of wells in the Elk
Hills reserve number and the
building by the companies of tanks,
pipe lines and pumping facilities for
the storage of 100000 barrels of
fuel oil at the Pearl Tarbor naval
base. Hawaiit The contract also pro-
vided for the deepening of Pearl
Harbor and the construction Of
docks.
Closing the governments case.
Owen J. Roberts. who was associat-
ed with former Senator Atlee POM
creme, summed up as follows:
First, the leases and contracts
should be cancelled because it has
been shown that there was a con-
spiracy between Albert B. Fall, for
mer secretary Of the interior, and
Edward L. Doheny, head of the oil
company, which resulted in the con-
tracts and leases.
Second, that the transaction
whereby Fall received 500 900 from
Doheny contained every element of
q bribe."
Third, that fraud was worked
on the United States government by
what was done.
