WILL DRIVE GOLF BALL 6,I6O,0oo YDS. Mobile to Los Angeles
 Stunt Trip Is
 Announced

Mobile, Ala, Feb. F Oboe Graham, 21-ycar- golfer hopes to drive a golf ball from Mobile to a movie studio in Los Angeles, Cal.
 He announced yesterday that he had completed plans to start from the first tee of the Mobile Country club next Sunday and club his way to the coast, George Happy" Kirby, 19, said he would accompany Doe as his caddy.
 There is no catch" in his scheme, Graham said. He wants to get to California, hopes to land in the movies and hit upon the golf ball hike as the most feasible solution of his problems.
 In anticipation of the trip Gra- ham said he had figured it out that he could make it in five months, but that he would keep going if it took five years. Calculating 6.160.000 yards as the distance to Los Angeles, and an average of 50 yards stroke, Graham estimated that million and a half strokes would be required to get his ball to the California city. He may have to chip the ball much of the way. he said by way of ex- plaining the short average for his drives.
 The youth. an ardent golfer. is well known here.

WARNER AND LEAYITT
 CONFER ON CHARGES
Councilman to Report on Member of Building
 Board

W. Spaulding Warner, third ward councilman, is scheduled to meet Chairman A. P. Lcavitt of the build ing commission today to make a formal report on a series of incl dents connected with last Wednes- days electrical examinations to sub stantiate claim that q member Of the building commission is guilty of improper practices.
 Other than to say the acts of the commissioner had to do with super vision over the examinations, Coun- cilman Warner declined today to ad- vance any information or to identi- fy the commissioner. After his con- ference with Chairman Leavitt to- day, Councilman Warner will make a report to Mayor Weld he an- nounces.
 Councilman Warner is chairman of the committee appointed to in- ycstigate the giving and marking of test papers in the first two eXamina-
 
 with that probe, he was sought out by the electricians who claim the actions of the commissioner were discriminatory and that, as q result, all who took the exams last Wednes- day were not placed on basis of equality.
 A recommendation of the building commission that master plumbers be required to post bond to guarantee satisfactory work. was looked upon with disfavor by the charter revision committee last night. Commissiop- CT William k. Fenn and Acting In- spector o. X. Peterson explained the plan as It is worked out elsewhere. The objection made was that diff culty might be had in making ad- iustments in case of dispute and that the proposition to be covered is actually one of civil court juris- diction. Several changes In the pension systems in the police and fire departments were adopted at the suggestion of the respective boards.

 While theaters and night clubs are being closely watched by police for underclad dancers and immoral plays, dry agents seized 200,G00 worth of liquor in the second series Of prohibition raids in the past two months on Broadway. Other agents in Brooklyn obtained St0O,Q00 in alcohol from raid on a garage.

 The so-Cal.ed legitimate dramas continue to enjoy temporary im- munity pending the final disposition Of court action against the plays al ready raided.
 Dry agents discarded diplomacy In their raids and used axes and crow bars in sweeping own on private spoakeasies and restaurants in the theatrical district just at the dinner hour last night. In addition to the liquor seized, the prohibition officers drove hundreds of wealthy diners into the streets.
 Prohibition raiders found q com- plicatCd electrical machine for aging liquor. the first of it's kind seized in the city. at 234 West Fifty second street. The machine was val ued at 50,O00. Liquor to the amount of S50.0O0 was also seized at the plant.

FRIEND OF LINCOLN
 RELATES NEW STORY
Colchester Man Says Presi. dent Gave Govt. Use
 of His Salary

New London, Feb. 12 CP-James Gillian of Colchester, the 18th treasurer of the United States who was a friend of Abraham Lincoln. today related in the Evening Day a hitherto unpublished story of the Great Emancipator which adds one more tribute to the general heart of the man. whose birthday is observed today.
 When Mr. Lincoln became presi- dent" says Mir. Gilfllan, the annual salary of the office was s25,000. which was paid monthly by draft of the treasurer of the United States.
 "The drafts to the order of the president were not presented for payment and under the system at that time, the treasurer's accounts were rendered monthly as soon as all drafts for the month were paid.
 'The non payment of the salary drafts of Mir. Lincoln held up the treasurer's accounts. After long de- lay, the chief bookkeeper was called up as to the delay in settlement Of accounts and it appeared that the delay was because MT. Lincolu's salary drafts had not been presented for payment.
 "The matter run along for a year or more when Treasurer Spinner some general conversation asked him it he didn't get monthly drafts for his salary as president of the United States.
 MT. Lincoln avoided the question but asked the treasurer if the United States government did not get the benefit if drafts were not presented for payment"
 The treasurer said: s"Possibly so" but that the treasurer's accounts were delayed until the drafts were paid.
 MT Lincoln then reached over and lifting long office inkstand disclosed underneath. 15 monthly salary drafts in his favor. which he had deposited there monthly, when received. so that the United States government might derive the bene- fit of his patriotic withholding of his endorsement and collection of more than a years salary as presi- dent.
 "The treasurer then explained that if his action was Tor the bene- fit of the government it could be accomplished by subscription to the loan for which bonds were then being sold at the treasury. 10 which the president assented and en- dorsed the drafts in subscription to the loan."

Rochester Butcher Admits Orgy of Killing as Cli- max of Business Feud- Spends Evening at Movies After Bloody Activities.

Rochester, N. Y, Feb. 12 iP-A butchers feud. which had ragged for three years, was ended today with two of the rivals dead and the third under arrest charged with the dou- ble murder and in addition the shooting of two other butchers. Tired with the slow process of the courts in settling his business diff faculties, Harry Gordon, 34, took the law into his own hands last night. armed himself with two automatic pistols and set forth on wild shooting orgy which resulted in the death of Harry Katz and Sam Toltz, two of his business rivals, the possi- bile fatal shooting of Morris kass, q close friend of Gordon's and the wounding of Frank Cohen. All were butchers.
 Thought He Was Pooling
 Following the shootings Gordon attended a moving picture show, oc- cupying a seat next to Leonard Meltzer. a friend. He remained in the theater for nearly two hours, re- lating the story Of the evenings events and showing his two auto matic pistols to Meltzer. The latter, however, thought he was fooling and did not report the matter to police until after Gordon was captured.
 Gordon was arrested shortly be- fore midnight at the home of a friend by policemen who had been lying in wait for him.
 Enraged By Snub
 A snub rendered yesterday after noon by Katz prompted him to carry out the murders which he had planned for several weeks, Gordon said. He appeared quite calm and unperturbed as he related the story of the double murder and the shoot ing of his two friends.
 II had been planning these kill ings for several weeks" Gordon said, and yesterday when Katz passed me on the street and refused to stop when I called to him. decided the time had come to carry out my pro- gram"
 Gordon shot Katz in his apartment as he was preparing 10 go out with a woman friend. He Ii cd three shots. all the bulets taking effect
 Third May Die
 He then went to Toltz's meat mar ket and using both pistols fired six shots, all of which took effect. Then he went to the store conducted by Klass and Cohen and shot them. klass has a serious wound which it is believed will cause his death, but Cohen escaped with a minor leg wound.
 The feud between Gordon and his victims started more than three years ago when Gordon opened a stand at the public market. Controversy over his appearance at the public market resulted in his arrest four times for assaulting Toltz and his subsequent indictment as a second offender and sentence to Auburn prison. He had served only a short time of this when he was released on certif- cate of asonable doubt.

Coolidge Said to Have a Second
 Disarmament Plan if First Fails
Reserve Proposal Believed to Call For Three-Power Treaty With England and Japan Limiting Cruisers, Destroyers and Subs to 5-33 Ratio of Capital Ships in Case Any Country Defeats Present Idea.

Copyright, 1927. by United Press)
 Washington. Feb. 12 (UP)-Pres- ident Coolidge has a second disarma- ment plan ready if France or other nations defeat his present proposal
 He will not insist on the five-powet pact limiting auxiliary naval craft, suggested in his memorandum to Great Britain. France. Japan, and Italy, though he will support it so long as there Is hope.
 The Reserve Proposal
 The reserve proposal calls for a three-power treaty with Great Brit ain and Japan limiting cruisers, des- troyers, and submarines to the pres ent 5-5-3 ratio on capital ships, the United Press learned today.
New Britain herald., 1927-02-12

MT. Coolidge has good reason to believe the second plan would sue ceed-at least with certain British reservations providing periodic ton- mage revision because of French adherence to the pact.
 The Coolidge disarmament tactics as formulated by Ambassador Hugh S. Gibson, the American arms delegates and approved by the pres ident, are:
 Disarmament Tactics
 1. Make every possible conces- sion to obtain French acceptance of the naval conference idea. This ex- plains the substitution of Geneva for Washington as the meeting place. Avoid separate informal negotiations with Great Britain, which would re- vivn the charge of an "Anglo-Amer- ican combine" made by France dur ing the Washington conference.
 2. If France agrees to the con- ference, the United States in the de- liberations will recognize the French right to a much larger comparative ratio in submarines than the Wash ington treaty accorded her In cap- ital ships. The capital ship ratio is 5-5-3 for the United States, Great Britain and Japan. and 1.67 for France and Italy.
 5. Whenever a deadlock Is reach ed, regardless of the nation which causes it, the United States will fall back on the basic economic-fnancal argument. Either directly or indi- rectly. this government will let it be known that no European nation can stand the financial strain of naval armament race without jeopardizing it's monetary and social system.
 4. This government is prepared to indicate in all friendliness that If an armament race is forced upon it, someone else will suffer.
 No Loans For Armaments
 5. Meanwhile this government will frown upon further loans to for eign nations for direct or indirect armament use.
 Officials here are so sympathetic with the French desire for adequate protection that they say they can- not understand the persistence of the French idea that the United States necessarily would vote with the British on all conference issues growing out of the question of Brit ish cruisers versus French subma- rines.
 There is no disposition in official circles here to approach the diff cult disarmament question from the assumption that France is "militar- istic." Officials credit France with 6 will-to-peace equal to that of the United States, but complicated by security problems from which this country is free by geographical iso- lation.
 Opposes French Plan
 Despite this sympathy with France President Coolidge is opposed to the French insistence that naval arma- ment is an inseparable part of the whole land -sea-air problem. and should be deferred until the genera problem is solved. The president fears general arms limitation may be a long way off, which increases his conviction that further maya. limitation is an imperative necessity Of peace and economy now.
