HOOVER CONSIDERS
 DEFENSE EXPENSES
Army and Navy Budgets Resist
 Attempts at Cutting

Washington, Aug. 6. P}-Four major factors stand out in the in creased. and increasing, cost of maintaining America's national land defense which President Hoover re- eards as possible place 10 prune the countrys budget. They are.
 Development of an air defense under the fiNeyear progressively ex- pansion program Of 1926.
 Increased expenditures for army housing.
 The cruiser building program of the navy
 The exhaustion of war time sup plies.
 Two Of these same factors avia- ton development and exhaustion Of war supplies, apply equally to increasing naval costs. With the navy, however, one of the main prospective upward jumps of eX- penditures has to do with the con struction of new cruisers.
 What will happen in that regard as President Hoover has pointed out, depends on the success of ne- Gotiations for further naval rcduc- tion treaties.
 The Presidents announcement that he would appoint a board of army officers within the general staff to find out what can be don" toward reducing military eXpcndi- lures, has like a stone cast into q quiet pool, caused many nipples of speculation as to where and when reductions might be made.
 At a time when the business of mechanizing the war machine is of increasing interest and import to all nations, the projected study of costs has caused wide discussion.
 The President has pointed out that the national defense outlay for l9@@ will be $S03, 3,00O,0On, some Sl20, 900, 900 more than similar ex pcnditures for the fiscal year just ended. He compared that with pre-war expenditures for military activities of the army and navy Of S266 5000, 0o0 annually.
 Aircraft cost plenty of money The big army bombcrs range around $G0, ,0O0 to $7O.G00 each. The navy spent $l34.ooO alone for T single giant experimental patrol boat-the NPY-1.
 The two coco, ,O00-cubic foot navy dirigibles now building will cos, SS,00O,000; an experimental metal clad dirigible under construction for the navy will represent an eX- penditure of S30O,00O.
 Under the five-ycar program, $S5,- 7S0,7 was set aside for navy ai' expansion. There are 10 be 1 00' planes in commission at that time The army. under the same program at the end, Of the five years vii have 1900 planes ready 10 rang, | the skies.

Cause Not Determined

Cambridge, Mass, Aug 12 P(- .Geologists have been unable to de- termine the cause of earth distur- bances in the vicinity of Lake Erie, Prof. Kirtley F. Mather of the liar yard seismograph station said to- day.
 Although slight earth tremors have been recorded in that section of the country on an average Of every 10 to IS years, investigation has revealed no surface indication of an earthquake rift, Prof. Mather said
 Prof Mather said it was very un- likely that the Lake Erie section which was visited by disturbance today would ever be the scene Of a severe earthquake.
 At the Harvard seismographic station, a disturbance apparently that felt along Lake Erie, was re- corded at 7:25 (E. D. ID It was Of moderate intensity and was 400 miles from Cambridge, Prof. Mather said.
 Washington, Aug. 12 P-The Georgetown university seismograph registered an earthquake today that began at 6:26 o'clock a. n., eastern standard time, and reached its max imum at 6:27.

close 10 the doctor and she Was doing he talking. My caddy tourd my ball and l drove to the green. Then I was waiting for Dr. Shook to come up. A caddy came and said Dr. Shook had gone"
 Q. Did Dr. Shook say goodbye or anything?
 A. No. nothing.
 Dr. Frederick M. Stanton, Shocks personal physician and shooting companion, testified Dr. Shocks craftsmanship had fallen off in the last two years. Stanton couldn't remember having ever said that Dr. Shook had told him:
 q can have any girl in America"
 E. o. Ricketts, of Snook's de- fense counsel, was next called.
 He told of being retained in the Shook case and going immediately to the Shook home. While there officers searched the house, he said. Then he corroborated the previous testimony in which the defense has tried to show Chester prevented de- fense lawyers having a private in tervicw with their client until they procured court order
 Found Shook Incoherent
 When he did see him. Ricketts said. he found Shook absolutely incoherent" so he told him Ito go and get some sleep and I'll see you tomorrow"
 Dr. Eugene McCampbell, former dean of the medical school of Ohio State university, answering a hypo- thetical question describing the au- topsy performed on Miss Hix, de- clared .'it would be very difficult to determine the true cause of death and the state bases it's claims of reconciliation necessary in first degree murder on that report.

 As result, local officers joining with detectives representing insur- ance firms, who were rushed here from New York city, spent yester- day in a searching cross -examina- ton of practically every member of the domestic staff from nurse aid to gardener.
 Police Have Eingcrprints
 Police claimed to have obtained several excellent fingerprints but 1t was not known whether these would prove to be those of the prowler who awoke Mrs Hutchinson just be- fore dawn Saturday. Mrs Hutchin- son, the former Edith L. Stotesbury, was too frightened to cry out until the intruder had fed from her plundered dressing table into the heavy fog which blanketed the coast
 She had worn her necklace a few hours before at a largely attended party given aboard the yacht Aztec by Russell Burrage, son of the own CT. A. C. Burragc, wealthy horti- culturist. At the same party she ore her expensive diamond brace let. which was among the loot.
 The Hutchinson robbery has caused something akin to panic among the wealthy summer resi- dents along the shore.
 One of Three Attempts
 Nor did the report of an attempt Francis l. Armory of Boston. which came on the heels of the Hutchin- son theft, do anything to dispel ap- prehension. Armory yesterday mo- tited police that a maid in his household had been awakened by a man attempting to raise the screen of her window only an hour after the Hutchinson prowler had fled.
 At the same time it became known that a burglar had success lully lOIttu IllS way llllp lIlC iOlle of Godfrey l. Cabot, another socially prominent Bostonian, a week ago and escaped with considerable sum in cash.
 So far as can be learned, the in- vestigation into the three cases has yielded no tangible clue. Police, however were still considering the possibility that the Hutchinson thief made his escape by water. The tide was near high at the time of the burglary and, they said, it would have been an easy matter for him to have run to the beach and push ed off. A coast guard boat which was called into the search Saturday gave it up when it's commander be- came convinced that the density of the fog made it futile.

 It is expected that the case will go to higher courts if the request to set aside is denied. It is Attorney Me- Donough's intention to appeal to the supreme court of the state and if un- successful to carry the case to the United States supreme court, he said. There is question concerning his right to appeal because of be- lief that no appeal can be made in cases of judgments less than $500. In this case the judgment was for the defendant and according to legal term is no suit.

 Seidel testified Shook had denied the murder to him, giving him his word of honor and that he had been so confident of Snook's innocence he had told newspapermen:
 If Shook did this murder then l helped him do it.'
 Q. That doesn't go now does it's
 A. No.
 o. Why?
 A. Because later he told me he killed the girl but l told him he was not guilty of murder.
 Q. Do your glasses magnify?
 A. Not half as much as your imagination,
 Asked How He Saw Bruises
 Q. Then how did you see those marks on Dr. Snooks face when no one else did?
 He was referring to marks from blows that Chester was alleged to have struck Shook.
 A. l didn't see them until 24 hours after the blows were struck. When I've been struck in the face it's always taken "A hours for the marks to show
 Finally Seidel said slowly:
 T told my associate. MT. Rick etts, that l knew MT. Chester's tac- tics and that he would not hesitate at anything when his own publicity was at stake and that he wouldn't monkey with that pup any more. l felt that way then and l do now"
 Seidel said it was then he got a court order permitting him to See Shook.
 There seems to be no love lost between us,' commented Chester.
 No, Jack" said Seidel looking sQuarely at Chester. You are a wonderful fellow, but you have your faults and l have mine.'
 c. NJ. Druggan, Columbus attor- ncy, told of playing golf with Shook at the Scioto Country club the Sun day before Miss Hix was killed. It was tiresome.
 AS we teed off on number one" he said, "and two of us had driven, Dr. Shook was called to the phone. The doctor returned and we played to the fifth when the doctor left.

At an informal discussion lasting two hours and half attended by representatives of the leading pow CTS at the conference, Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, Japan, and Germany, MT. Snowden was report ed to have said.
 Has Bitter Tongue
 II have often been accused Of having the bitterest tongue in par liament, but it also has been said I have the kindest heart. Often peo- pie have not angry with me, but they never stay angry"
 When the delegates emerged from their informal conference Arthur Henderson, British foreign minister, remarked: The entente cordiale continues" MT. Snowden, however, would not go so far.
 It was said he had participated good humoredly in the conference and had dissipated some of the mis- understandings of yesterday. but had made it absolutely clear that integrally his demands would be maintained, He will continue to de- fend them with less sharpness per- haps, but with no less vigor, he said.
 Out of the uncertainty and con- fusion arising today from the un- compromising attitude of the British it was felt generally one thing was clear-that is, that the reparation problem is not likely to be settled at The Hague.

French Press Bitter

Paris, Aug. 12 R}-The French press grew increasingly bitter today toward the stand taken by the Brit ish delegation at the Hague con- ference on reparations in their ef- fort to gain a larger share of the German payments than the Young plan allows.
 Transcending even the far-reach- ing political phases of the interna- tional quarrel, however, was ani- mostly kindled by two adjectives used Saturday by Philip Snowden, British chancellor of the exchequer, in connection with a speech by Henri, Cheron, French finance min ister.
 As understood here M Cheron had completed a summation of the Brit ish position on debts and repara- tions in the light of the principles laid down in the Balfour note, to which the British chancellor replied that his exposition was "grotesque" and ridiculous"
 Protest Snowden's Language
 The translator evaded putting the English words into French, but as soeiates of M. Cheron afterward told him what had been said and others of the conference protested to Mr, Snowden that his language had not been suitable. The point was final ly passed with the explanation the significance of the English words was mild compared to the meanings of their French equivalents.
 The papers today generally re- minded the British chancellor that courtesy was the first condition of international relations, his attack on M. Cheron, and his manner of mak- ing it were scored as unjust, via lent, insulting, discourteous and as Journal Des Debtas remarked. shocking to any man who is well bred or simply reasonable"
 L'Echo De Paris spoke openly to- day of the lend of the entente cor diale," remarking that Britain would replace this with an alliance with the United States. The Paris Midi said many Frenchmen now felt Mir. SnoWden did more yesterday to bring about a rappochement be- tween France and Germany than the entire series of direct negotiations between Berlin and Paris.
 Lacks Political Maturity
 The semi official Temps said Everybody has known for a week that Mir. Snowden lacks political maturity to such a point he navely believes diplomatic negotiations can be carried on with the same tone as arguments used in an election campaign" The paper added, how ever, that the "entente cordiale" be- tween Great Britain and France having resisted the ill will of David Lloyd George will in the same way resist the grudges of Snowden." Petit Parisien said: MT. Snowden, in the midst of many of his threat ening statements, asserted we should see of what a Yorkshireman was made. He libels Yorkshiremen. One cannot imagine that all Yorkshire men resemble him, otherwise it would be impossible to find in York shire the type of man of whom Great Britain is justly proud, q gentleman"
