MELLON STUDYING
NEW PLAZA PLAN
Treasury Architects Consid-
er Various Schemes for New
Buildings in Triangle.

Although he has reached no deci.
sion, Secretary Mellon is deeply inter
ested in the proposal to create a huge
plaza at the Fifteenth street end Of
the big triangle bounded by PeDnsyl-
yania avenue, B street and Fifteenth
street.
The plan, which was formally out
lined in q. letter from the Fine Arts
Commission to Mr.. Mellon, has re-
neived the closest attention from the
Secretary, who explained that it had
been studied not only by the Fine Arts
Commission, but by officials of the su-
pervising architects oqace Of the
Treasury and by his own architectural
adviser, +. II. Bennett.
Among the major questions to be
considered in a general way, Secre-
tary Mellon said. was the development
OF the Government building program
along lines which will create harmony
on the whole but avoid monotony.
Closely Studying Plan.
The plan for a development of the
west end Of the big triangle. which
would be substantially different from
the one already adopted by the Pub.
lie Buildings Commission, Is being
closely studied by all experts con-
cerned. but a final decision, IL is
understood. viii not be reached soon.
1t is a matter of far-reaching inn
portance, which will make great
changes in the plan as already laid
down. For instance, the Depart
ment of Justice Building. which now
is projected for the southeast corner
OF PENNSYLVANIA avenue and Fifteenth
VA r
ment. would be Joined with the De-
partment of Commerce Building. i'm
mediately TO the south.
Under the new plan, the vista from
Pennsylvania avenue looking toward
the Treasury would be greatly altered
and made more dignified and impress
sive. From the District Building the
Aver,Ie would widen into a plaza
whic probably would include parks,
flowers. lawns or rejecting pool.
Might Widen Avenue,
The Avenue itself might even be
widened sufficiently to pass on both
sides of the Sherman statute facing
the Treasury from the park immedi.
ately to the south. The original front
of the Treasury Department Building
Ras the South front. The corner where
Polls Theater now stands, and which
was planned for the Department OF
Justice, would under the new proposal,
be depressed southwark. q
While those in charge of the build
ing program are considering the new
proposal for the west end OF the tri.
angle, to make it more imposing and
dignified. most rapid progress is being
made on the Department OF Agricul-
ture Administrative Building, and the
Internal Revenue Bureau Building.
which is TO be south of the Post Office
Department Building. Contracts for
the excavation and foundations of the
Department of Agriculture Admins
trative Building probably viii be the
first to be awarded. Bids on these and
probably the excavation and founda-
ton for the Internal Revenue Build
ing, will the the next major Offering
in the building program.

ella Deputies Are
Here on Trail Of
KeIton Robber Gang

Two deputy sheriffs from the Globe
Miami district arrived in Douglas to
take up here for Gila county the long
trail of the famous Dolores Sullivan
and the Kelton robber gang. These
deputies, c. r. Byrne and c. w. Cole,
are, like other officers from Arizona
, cities and from three other states, look
ing for stolen property.
They conferred Friday night with
Deputy Sheriff Earl Reed and are go
ing early this morning to Tombstone,
where they will examine the great
heaps of recovered property which Co
chise county officers, aided by the
"robber" queen" unearthed in the Kel-
j ton postoffice and in various queer hid
ing places in the surrounding district.
The Gila county officers told The
Dispatch last night that they had de-
finite information that Dolores Sull1-
van and her husband their companion
/ in crime were in that county at the
time of several big robberies in Miami
and Globe, and after securing informa-
tion from the deputy here, they said
that they felt certain that they would
find in the many caches of loot some
consignments that came, from ella
county stores.

mail sacks for the hiding of the loot
and the finding of stolen property in

powers. Part of the morning and much
of the afternoon session were devoted
to discussion of the measure.
Holub, Maricopa, said it was mot an
issue whether this bill is an adminis-
tration or an administration mea-
sure. 1t does not encroach on the pow
ers of any other department of govern
ment, and the governor under the con-
stitution does not have the powers
such as would be given to the comp
troller. The sole question is whether
we shall have a controlling agent in
charge of the state finances. The
various departments of government
are spending money without regard to
any limitations set by the Legislature
or the state constitution"
Lynch, of Greenlee, however, believed
that the duties of the state auditor
were commensurate with those of the
proposed comptroller, and Representa-
tive Old, of Pima, in ten words said
he was unalterably opposed to the bill.
The representative from Greenlee also
felt that the bill represented a covert
attempt'on the part of some one to be
king" while Mrs. Ivy, of Maricopa,
considered an appropriation of 100000
to establish a comptroller's office

The approval of the committee of the
whole was given in an overwhelming
vote. Amended it fixes the proposed

Three reasons were said to in
fluence Japans desire for another
conference that would eliminate com.
petitive navy building; first, Japan's
intention to promote additional
equitable disarmament by all means
possible, as stated to the Diet by
Foreign Minister Shidehara; second,
the financial and economic condi-
ton of Japanese makes it's desirable
that taxpayers should be frecd of
the heavy burdens o. maintaining q
large navy. and, third, Japan wishes
by thorough cooperation with other
powers to fulfill her international
responsibility.
Specifications for an armament re-
duction, it was understood would
not be stated by the government IN
it's acceptance of the Coolidge pro-
rosal the government feeling that
these should be left to the naval ex,
ports of the various countries.
While some of the newspapers ex-
pressed opposition to disarmament
below the 5-5-3 ratio, officials high
in the government were said to be-
l,eve that the diet would approve
the Coolidge proposals for a con
ference.

STORMY SESSION
OF DAUCHERTY'S
TRIAL ENACTED

NEW YORK, Feb. II (R.-The stor-
miest session of the Daugherty- Miller
trial was enacted in federal court to-
day.
The center of the storm was Fred
erick Wilson, secretary to Thomas w.
Miller as alien property custodian. Will
son took the stand as a government
witness, called to explain why he sent
two kilograms to Miller in Pittsburgh.
One telegram advised Miller that Will
son was unofficially informed that the
claim of the Societe Suisse P%Ar VAL
eurs for $1,000, 900 of the impounded
assets of the American Metal company
had been passed. The second telegram
advised of official passage. Counsel
for defense objected to the telegrams
as evidence on the ground they were
not shown to have been sent with the
knowledge of Miller of Daugherty.
Seeking to have them admitted as evil
dence against Miller solely, United
States Attorney Buckner tried to bring
out through Wilson that he had talked
with Miller about the Societe Suisse
claim. Wilson denied ever having
talked with Miller about them.
Buckner then tried to ascertain why
the kilograms had been sent. Before
Wilson'S inocuous answer had been
written by the court stenographer,
Max D. Steuer, chief of counsel for
Harry H. Daugherty, former attorney
general; Harold Corbin, his associate;
Aaron Sapiro, counsel for Miller, and
Judge John c. Knox were in high de-
bate. Buckner was accused of trying
to impeach his own witness.
Hes not my witness" Buckner
shouted.
1--WE didn't bring him here" Choir
used defense attorneys.
You brought him here, and now
you're trying to brand him as hostile
witness. Do you mean to charge him
with being a co-conspirator?"
2 81 don't know whether or not he is a
CO. -oconspirator," Buckner said.
Judge Knox raped for order, but
the debate continued.
This is outrageous Sapiro shouted.
Judge Knox raped for order TAX
ing the witness himself the judge
brought out that after Wilson had
talk with member of Daugherty's
staff he sent the kilograms because he
thought the matter important.
Judge Knox then ruled that the tes-
timony was not binding upon either
Daugherty or Miller.
john Durkin, private secretary to
King for six years previous to Kings s
death in May 1926, few days after
he was mentioned in the present in
dictment, was also branded hostile
witness by Buckner. Despite numerous
attempts Buckner failed to get into the
record any reference to the alleged de-
struction of papers the government
contends would have linked King IN
conspiracy with Daugherty and Miller.
The trial will be resumed Monday.

Anglo American 1co-operation, such

to think that real test of the Amer

Great Britain, like the United
