PRESIDENT Will
LET CONGRESS
FIGURE TAX CUT
Mr.. Coolidge Feels Legisla-
tion Delayed Naval
Program Plan

RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. is N)--'
President Coolidge is leaving another
tax reduction up to congress with
the suggestion that the available
surplus is dependent upon no in
creases in government expenses above
present calculations
Tt was stated today at the summer
white house that Mr. Coolidge feels
congress is disposed to spend money
for many projects but that the total
tax slash must be governed by these
expenditures.
1t was evident that the president
believes the fiscal program was upset
last session by congress in overriding
his naval construction plans.
In appropriating what was described
as an insignificant sum of money to
start work on three cruisers instead
of authorizing a total of ten cruisers
without an appropriation, the presi-
dent feels congress really delayed thG
carrying out of a naval program also
He is of the, opinion that greater
speed would have resulted had fe
been permitted to submit estimates
this fall for work on a total of ten
cruisers.
The three cruisers which congress-
insisted upon appropriating money
for were part of the eight it had
previously authorized. The other fiV1
were already under construction. The
president, it was said here today,
had planned, when he attempted to
prevent appropriation of funds for
starting work on these three cruisers,
to obtain an authorization for future
construction of total Of ten cruisers,
including the five under construction.
While no figures were dealt in
with regard ITO tax reduction next
year it is recalled that Director Lord
of the budget has estimated a surplus
Of at least $3.50, 100000 this fiscal year,
Approval of his tentative budget by
the president for the coming year
had seemed to endanger this surplus
but no such feeling was disclosed
today at the executive office
With a surplus of $600,000,0 900 last
year in mind, administration leaders
have confidently anticipated a tax
reduction next session of at least
$3OO,0 900. Even this amount, how,
ever, is felt by the president to be-
subject to additional expenditures by
congress next session.
Plans moved forward today for s.
prospective visit by Mr.. Coolidge to
Yellowstone national park. 1t was

OGDEN ARMOUR
CBlCACOP PACKER
dies IN LONDON
Death Occasioned by Pneu-
mOnia Superinduced by
Typhoid Fever.

LONDON, Aug. 16 P-Weakened
by a siege of illness, the crisis OF
which he had passed safely, j. Ogden
Armour, wealthy Chicago packer, died
as the Carlton hotel late today.
Mrs. Armour, Mrs. John j. Mitchell,
Jr., the former Lolita Armour, and
her husband, we're at the bedside
when Mr.. Armour died. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mitchell had been hastily summoned
from California when it first became
known several weeks ago that Mr.
Armouf's Illness was grave and raced
across the United States and then
took ship for England in order
to be at his bedside. Mr. Armour,
whose illness developed only a week
after he arrived in London on his
usual summer holiday trip to England
early in July. was too ill throughout
to be told of his mothers death
which occurred three weeks ago.
NO medical bulletin had been issued
throughout his illness, but it is under
stood that he first suffered from an
attack Of typhoid fever, the crisis
of which he passed safely. His Sys-
tenn, greatly weakened by the fever,
never really regained strength enough
to permit him to be moved out OF
London to more favorable locality.
Then apparently pneumonia developed
and his heart was too weakened to
stand the strain.
Although Mr.. Armour's death was
at 4:3O o'clock this afternoon it was
not until after o'clock tonight that
the announcement was made.
Funeral arrangements had not been
settled tonight.
Jonathan Ogden Armour, eldest son
Of Philip d. Armour, ST., founder of
the great Armour &1 Company pack
ing industry, sacrificed his senior
year in Yale university because or
his fathers desire to give him an
early training in the rudimentS OF
the huge business enterprise that he
was destined eventually to direct.
After year of apprenticeship,
during which he made a study OF
every branch Of the vast concern.
young Armour assumed the executive
responsibilities of the packing house,
and for more than II years applied
himself diligently to the task of
mastering every phase of the packing
business. He assumed complete con-.
troll upon the death of his father
in 1901.
Under the direction or J. Ogden
Company'S business grew from $1o2,..

Military and commercial air.
planes covered approximately
100000 miles during the fiscal
year ended July 81 with high
percentage of performance and a
low fatally and injury record,
proving that aviation is practic-
able, Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh declared at a chamber of
commerce dinner here today.
The flying colonel, who is here
for two days on his trans-cOn-
tinentaI air tour under the au-
spices of the Guggenheim fund
for the promotion of acrOnau-
tics, said that aripIanes of today
are perfectly reliable, fairly
economical and high in per-
fOrmance."
The entire industry is work
ing toward the production of safer
and better air craft under the
impetus of popular demand and

craft competition for prizes to-
falling $15O,OOO." Colonel Lind
bergh said.
Regular transatlantic airplane
travel is sure to come, he pre-

dicted, but before this is accom-
plished, the United States will
be criSscrOsSed with vast net
work of commercial airways over
which aircraft will fly on regular
schedules, carrying passengers,
freight, express and the mails.
'The United States is not far
behind other countries in the
development Of aviation" the Fly
ing Colonel said. Rather, we are
behind them in the application Of
aerOnautics in everyday life.
''The rapid increase in air
traffic is illustrated by figures
for the fiscal year ended July 81
which show that the flying dis
tance for six routes equalIed the
mileage for the whole air mail
system in the preceding year.
There were 62 injuries to pilots
and ground personnel, most of
them of minor nature"
Colonel Lindbergh declared
that the first need of any COM
munity for aviation progress was
a well-equipped airport, large
enough for safety of operation
and easy of access. Eventually,
he said centrally located muni-
cipaI fields will assume the
status of the railroad terminals.

CHARLIE CHAPLIN, SERIOUS FACED
RETURNS TO FIGHT DIVORCE SUIT

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16 CD
Charlie Chaplin, serious faced
and, so far as newspaper report
ers were concerned, silent, spent
the greater part Of his first day
OF his return to southern Cali
fornia in conference with his at
torneys in preparation for battling
the divorce suit of his young wife,
Lita Grey Chaplin.
The film comedian received re-
pOrters and permitted his phoio-
graph to be taken at the office
of his attorney, Lloyd Wright.
His only statement, however,
was: II am here for the divorce
case and i do not care to discuss
it until the day Of the trial,
next Monday"
He refused to comment when
questioned on a report that
property settlement had been
agreed upon whereby his wife and
the two Chaplin sons would re-
ceive $85O,OOO.
His attorneys likewise refused
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-08-17

to discuss the case or their plan
cf action for the trial.
Following his arrival here cary
this morning by automobile,
Chaplin went TO the home Of his
brother, sgd Chaplin. There nc
took a brief rest and during the
morning was visited by Samuel
Goldwyn, the producer, who spens
several hours at the Sgd Chaplin
home, which adjOins the Chaplin
studio in Hollywood. 1t formerly
was Charles home.
Those who interviewed the actor
said Chaplin appeared thinner
than when he left here last
January, just before the filing OF
his wife's suit. His hair appeared
greyer and his manner more
subdued.
Edwin T. McMurray, uncle and
chief counsel for Mrs. Chaplin,
returned to Los Angeles today
from San Francisco. He held an
all-day conference with his asso-
ciate counsel, the firm of Lee
and Lee.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 R)-
Except for an overcast sky the
aviatOrs participating in the derby
from Oakland to Hawaii should
encounter perfect flying conditions
over the entire 2,4OO mile route
and pilot maintaining the highest
altitude should win the race,
naval air navigation experts pre-
dictcd today.
After study of weather Du-
rcau charts, Lieutenant Earl HI.
Kincaid, who checked the naviga-
ton conditions for all the trans
Atlantic flights, and Lieut.. 4. F..

were for favorable tail winds
averaging around ten miles an
hour on the surface and iDcreas-
ing greatly as higher attitudes
are reached.
AT the start of the race cross
winds were encountered, the ex-
perts declared, but these quickly
veered to tail winds about twice
as favorable as those which help
