BY NJ 'kELLAR

The first rumble Of Senate opposi-

In speech detailing Americas s

McKelIer D) of Tennessee attacked
the Hoover-MacDonald agreement as
one which assigns to the United
States IAN inferior naval position"
There never was a worse time
for us to have an inferior Navy
than right now" Mcclellan said,
after citing Americas enormous for
eign trade, the tremendous sums
owed this country by foreign debtors
and the envy of American pros
perity abroad.
McKellar chided the Harding ad-
ministration for the 1922 naval con-
ference, which Drought battleship

He said the 1922 conference resulted
in hundreds of millions of dollars
Of the American peoples money
being thrown away.
Great Britain has won many
naval victories" said Mcclellan.
She sank the Spanish armada: she
won glorious victory at Trafalgar;
but the greatest naval victory that
Great Britain ever won was when
she sank the American Navy In the
so-calIed peace conference at Wash
ington in 1922"
Mcclellan said he would insist
upon cruiser parity between the
two navies. He added, however,
that America would not build navy

} The comely widow was dressed
In black, even to a black-bordered
handkerchief. Before leaving the
Jail to go to the Hartford county
court house, she held back her
black coat and said to the deputy
sheriffs. "Look me over, boys: how
do look?"
"All right" they replied.
Mrs. Stones dress of black was
but a scant inch or two below her
knees. Her black sheer stockings
and black silk slippers accentuated
her youthful appearance.
As the widow entered the court
room, she smiled at Judge Walter
W. Preston and her attorney and
then took seat on dais raised
some three or four inches above
the floor. She had absolute control
of herself and seemed much inter-
ested in the crowd which filled
every nook and Granny of the little
room. Three rings sparkled from
her fingers as she toyed with her
black-bordered handkerchief. She
seemed almost nonchalant.
The trial Judge read the indict-
ment, charging her with causing
the death of her son. and received
her clear-voiced plea of mot guilty."
Then began the examination of the
talesmen, IS of whom have been
summoned. It was hoped to have
the jury selected by nightfall; with
evidence beginning to be heard to-
morrow.
Edward Stone, her husband, and
a son, Edgar, died suddenly within
two years. With the death of
George, Mrs. Stone was arrested
and the bodies exhumed. Evidence
of poison is alleged to have been
found in the stomachs of the hus-
band and George. but not in Edgars.
She was indicted only for causing
Georges death.
