ADMIRAL JONES
WILL Be NAVAL
FARLEY ADVISER
Stimson Sure, but Denies
Concession Made to
Policy Demand.

BIZ JHited Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18-Secre-
tary of State Stimson said today he
had every reason to believe Rear
Admiral Hilary Jones would accom-
pany him to London as an adviser
to the American delegation at the
January naval conference.
It have great confidence" Slim
son said, lin his character, his abil-
ity and his experience and he knows
that I havev that confidence. He
told me before I went away that he
was going to go with me as my ad-
wiser and I have no reason to sup
oose he has changed his mind"
Admiral Jones hesitated for some
time after his selection by Presi-
dent Hoover before deciding to &C
cept the London assignment. This
attitude on the retired officers part
was detailed by the United Press last
Friday.
Jones was perturbed partly be-
cause Admiral William V. Pratt
would have superior rank in London,
but principally because Stimson and
other civilians in charge of the ma
val negotiations refused to adopt
rigid program for submission to
the naval powers at London. Slim
son prefers to go to London in a
position to bargain with the other
delegations.
Asked today whether any con-
cession had been made to Jones
desire on this point, Stimson indi-
Gated belief that rigid American
program would wreck the confer
ence, and that a bargaining position
would be taken by American dele
gates in London.

GIGANTIC TASK
FACES HOOVER'S
CRIME PROBERS
Commission Finds Data for
Proposed Activities
Is Lacking.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press STAFF Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Round-
ing out it's first six months. Presi-
dent Hoover's law enforcement COM
mission barely has been able to
scratch the surface of a huge task,
which some of its members now are
convinced will require years.
Today the commission announced
the appointment of Amos w. Wood
cock, United States district attorney
in Maryland, to assist in certain
phases of prohibition enforcement.
He is one of a numerous staff Of
experts which the commission is as
sembling. Many others are to be
selected before the commission
really is reacy to begin its work.
Some differences have arisen
within the commission between
members, who wish to drop every
thing else and rush through with a
series Of public hearings on prohibit
ton, and other members, who wish
TO proceed slowly and thoroughly
into every aspect of the crime prob
lem of which this group considers
prohibition to be only one phase.
Prohibition Causes Dispute
Strong efforts are being made
within the commission to prevent
prohibition from being allowed to
monopolize the attention OF the
commission as is insisted upon by
some, the United Press learns.
The commission has discovered
there is almost no scientific data on
crime. Though there have been
numerous crime commissions set up,
including a national body, they
have gathered material of only Incl
dental value to the Presidents
group.
Such an elementary fact as the
number of jails in the country is
unknown. There are no maps show
ing all of the roads leading into the
United States from Canada and
Mexico, knowledge vital to effective
suppression of liquor smuggling.
Data Not Accurate
There is no accurate information
as to what effect prohibition has
had on the Monday work day or the
effect of poverty and unemployment
on. crime. The commission finds
there are no experts available for
certain studies it desires to make,
with the result that it may have to
90 into the laboriouS process OF
training experts.
One of the big subjects upon
which investigation has started is
the "racketeer" who EFFORTS millions
from business men and others who
fear personal or property injury If
they do not pay.

Passengers planes flying from Washington to New York today make the trip in the scheduled time of two hours and l5 minutes.
 Forty years ago the newspapers chronicled with pride the speed of the special train which carried President Harrison from the capi- tai to the metropolis to attend the Washington centennial celebration in eight hours
 Washington, 100 years before, had made the journey in seven days.
 Ladies who watched the pageant, in which 50,00O soldiers marched on Broadway, wore canvas and but tons shoes which could be purchas- ed for $50, and balbriggan hose which retailed at IA cents. Rogers Peet,, and Company was selling boiled" shirts for 70 cents and mems English braces for 39 cents Orators at the centennial cele- bration included Oliver Wendell Holmes, Robert T. Lincoln, James Russell Lowell, John Greenleaf Whittier, Gen. William T. Sherman, George Bancroft, Chauncey Depew and Bishop Potter.
 Stanford White, then a rising young architect, designed the tri- umphal arch and the Republican press fiayed Tammany delegates for alleged failure to show respect to President Harrison by doffing their hats.
 William Hohenzollern, now a citizen of Doorn, Holland, was then the young Kaiser Wilhelm II, proudly reviewing his "goose-step- ping" guards. The restless Emperor, 1 visiting the zoo in Berlin, shat tered the nerves of his wife, who accompanied him, by the daring manner in which he approached and provoked the wild beasts
 This boarding of the lions was regarded as a somewhat ominous | portent in view of his forthcoming I visit to England.

ID SPEND jl6O,OOO
 0N PHONE PLANT
s. N, E. I'd. Co. Announces EI-
 pansion Budget for 1929

Exchange Manager T. P. McAulitle today made public construction plans of the Southern New England Telephone Co. for this exchange area, his statement showing that the company will spend about $ls0,0DG on improvements and enlargement of its local plant. This program is planned to meet an increase in the demand for telephone service. Equipment for the central office will cost $2O.OOO. This will be spent OH switchboard additions and other such equipment.
 The company will spend $45.00o for new equipment to be placed on subscribers premises which includes telephones for homes. offices and other places of business. The coin- rany's estimate of the cost of SUD- scr;bers' stations equipment is based on the expected net gain in the number of telephonea The con- pany expects the present commercial activity of New Brita n and nearby places to improve during the year.
 Within the exchange area the company will place 25.025 feet of new cable which will contain B. 9Se,5o0 feet or 1891 miles of cop per telephone wire. This class of new plant will add much to the companys facilities for serving all sections of the exchange. For the underground cable it will be neces- sary to lay a conduit which will cost about $1O.000.
 About $55,000 will be spent on general improvements and plant ex- tensions. It will cover poles. wires and miscellaneous jobs.
 Mir. McAulffe stated that at the close of 1928 there were 11.152 tele- phones in service in this exchange, a net increase of GOO for the year.
 On an average business day. there are 50,219 originating calls handled in the local exchange. This total is divided as follows: Local calls, 41.O4S; A-B toll calls that is, calls to nearby exchanges, 2,446, and long distance calls to points further from New Britain and to complete which the toll operating force is necessary. 7o5.
 Over 5000 toll calls a day is New Eritain's record for talking with stations outside the exchange area and shows to what eXtept this quick means of communication is being utilized in business circles particu- here for social purposes.

 h Title Running. Battles PrinCc-

 New York. Feb. e5 R-Needing a victory to remain in the running for tho 1929 championship of the eastern intercollegiate basketball league. the Dartmouth Indians in- wade Princeton tonight. Dartmouth alone remains to dis pute the championship with Penn. sylvania which has run up seven straight league victories without a defeat. Another victory for Penn or a defeat for Dartmouth automa- tically will ciinch the title for the second straight year for the Quak- CTS.
 Even though the Indians have been beaten three times in lea ]. 'e competition there seems to be h,tla doubt that the Hanover collegidns can take Princeton's measure to- night. The Tigers have won only one game and lost five. record which gives them clear title to last place.
 Although Dartmouth may win to- night and thus stave off what seems to be the inevitable. Penn probably will clinch the championship with out further dispute tomorrow night when the Quakers encounter Co., lumbia at Philadelphia.
