Naval Farley Hope Renewed
BY HENRY WOOD

United Press STAFF Correspondent
GENEVA, July 12.-New British
proposals brought real signs of hope
to the naval ornaments conference
today.
The main point Of the PROPOSE
ton, it was understood. is based on
the idea of permitting Great Brit
ain to retain cruisers that have
passed the age limit without in
Guiding them in her total tonnage.
Such cruisers, the British dele
gates suggest, will have lost their
value as offensive vessels while re-
tanning their defensive value for
national security and protection of
trade routes.
The proposals have already been
submitted to Hugh S. Gibson, head
of the American delegation and
president of the conference, and if
acceptable TO the Americans may
form the basis of the establishment
of parity between Great Britain and
the United States in cruisers of
combatant value.
Discussions were resumed today
in the hope of reaching a satisfac-
tory agreement in time for a
plenary session which will be held
probably tomorrow or Thursday.

NEEDS RECESS
TO COOL DOWN
Washington Officials Say

BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON July II. - A
cooling off" recess for the Geneva
naval conference would be accept
able to the United States Govern
ment. If the deadlock and recrim-
nations continue, a Fortnight holi-
day probably will be resorted to
in an attempt to save the confer
ence.
The State Department spokesman
said today Britain has made no
definite compromise proposition,
and indicated he was not favorably
impressed by the informal British
feelers.
Talk of Totals
Great Britain still refuses to talk
in terms of total tonnage limitation
for cruisers insisting on talking
ships rather than class. tonnage.
This method is unacceptable to the
United States
The British suggestion for linn
iting the number of ships allowable
in the 1O,0O0-ton type-the type
considered most necessary by the
United States-is impossible, in the
opinion of the Navy.
$4,000 by 1886
Although Britain talks only in
terms OF ship numbers, officials here
today translated the British sugges-
ton in terms of total cruiser ton
mage as 100000 for the United
States and Great Britain each by
1884, and 100000 tons by 1886.
Officials here re-emphasize the
American contention that the Brit
ish suggestion would not effect
economies, as claimed. but would be
more expensive. The $500 tons type
of cruiser, is relatively more expen-
siye and aggressive" than the
10000 ton type, officials said.

EXTRA! Aug. 20, 2138.-Workmen,
removing the tower-like building of

placing the Soldiers Monument
thereon, today unearthed 12-page
copy of the Indianapolis Times,
(the ancient form of our present 49,

outstanding feature was the landing
of Commander Richard E. Byrd on
the shores of France in a 3-motor
plane, in which he and three COM

dense fog. This, the first attempt
to fly in adverse weather, was con-
sidered remarkable in those remote

The crumbling structure of the
World War Memorial Building, an
old Landmark which was erected in
1927 and dedicated by General Per-
shing, war hero, is being torn down
to make room for the new airplane
station. In a corner stone was found
an old newspaper, The Times, relic
that is causing much amusement at
the city museum, relating as it does
to ancient times, and methods of
travel.
1t tells of Byrd and his men and
their flight across the ocean and
the perils of the trip. Today when
a passenger plane controlled Nby
radio and directed by one man, car
ries hundreds Of passengers to Eu-
rope in comfort and safety, when
our world is practically electrically
run, when bombs and guns are di-
fected and discharged by radio, the
exploits of these pioneers seem small
and insignificant. But let us honor
them.
Today everyone has a plane or
straps on his wings. An inventor
has perfected shoes with wings that
fold out of the way when walking
yet are instantly ready for flight.
In these sootless, srnokeless days
it seems far fetched to think of
those days when coal fuel not only
smoked and stained the beauty of
this memorial, but FASTENED its de-
struction. Let us be thankful for
today and not yearn to Yesterday,
for Tomorrow looms ahead with new
achievements that will make To-
days seem little.

Death Mystery.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, July 12.-Ludwig
Lee, janitor of the house on Pros
pect Place, Brooklyn, where two
women were slain, stood firm in his
denials today while detectives found
new evidence tending to link him
with the case.
Lee had undergone two and a
half days of questioning so rigor-
Gus that it exhausted detectives. He
emerged mot feeling too good" to
use his own words, but clearly no
where near the breaking point.
District Attorney Dodd Nprep.~s4ed
to arraign Lee on charge OF muir
der and to present circumStantlal
\ evidence against the janitor to the
grand jury.
Meanwhile, detectives discovered
another bundle containing parts OF
the bodies of the victims. 1t was
the seventh such bundle discovered.
and was expected virtually to COM
plete the bodies of Miss Sarah Eli
zabeth Brownell, 10, and Mrs. Alfred
Bennatt, Sc, che victims.
Heard Lees Threat
Mrs. Anna Palas, former tenant of
Miss Brownell in the Prospect place
house, told detectives she heard Lee
threaten to kill the aged owner last
Memorial day.
Lee admitted yesterday Miss
Borwnell had asked him to marry
her and he had accepted. He dis
missed reported frequent quarrels
as disputes of no Importance.
Medical examiners, who had viz
tually completed the task OF assem-
bling the dismembered bodies,
turned today to reconstructing the
Savings. Since no members of a
third body we're found, they aban-
doned the theory that Miss Evelyn
De Martini, who has been missing
from her Brooklyn home since June
80, was a victim.
Dates Are Fixed
Miss BroWnell, who probably was
killed July 4, was first strangled and
then stabbed, physicians believed.
Her body then was cut into pieces.
Mrs. Bennett, who was killed last
Saturday night, was stabbed to
death, the body indicated.
Miss BroWnell's body had been cut
into comparatively small pieces,
while Mrs. Benefits was less badly
mangled, indicating that the first
was dismembered by the slayer at
leisure during the week before the
second woman was killed.

Further questioning by the coast

the schooner, except for the puppy
and kitten, and was en- route to
