CRUISER BILL IS
MADE LAW BY
COOLIDGE
President Coolidge signed the new


President Coolidge signed the new
cruiser bill today.
The sweep of his pen was the last
act necessary to the authorization
for adding Is new and modern
cruisers and one giant airplane car
rier to the Navy.
Tt constituted as well the greatest
single step that has been taken
since the Washington arms confer
ence to overcome British superiority.
Even with these cruisers, however,
the American Navy will still lag
behind the British in this class of
vessel.
BY Congressional direction, all of
the ships must be laid down within
three years. The program calls for
beginning construction on five each
year for the next three years.
This time limitation was hotly
fought in Congress and was opposed
by President Coolidge himself, but
the bigger Navy advocates won out
ana President Coolidge's successor,
Herbert Hoover, will have no altern'
alive. but to proceed with the pro.
gram, unless a new international
limitation agreement is meanwhile
for this at present.
Cost S275, 900
The ultimate cost Of the cruiser
program is estimated at about
s275 200, 900, only about $5O,OOO,OO0
Of which, however, will be necessary
until the fiscal year Of 1881. The
problem of finding the funds viii be
up to the Hoover administration.
The Presidential signature was
not attached, however. until he had
summoned Congressional leaders to
the white House today for a con-
ference as to whether they could
provide the $50,000,00O necessary to
start the work. He called Senators
Curtis and Robinson. the Repub-
lican and Democratic leaders Of the
Senate: Representatives Ttlson and
Garrett, the Republican and Demo.
cratic leaders of the House,
Senator Hale, chairman Of the
Naval Affairs Committee; Speaker
Longworth and Representative Smell,
chairman of the Rules Committee.
Money Is Available
They all assured him that the
money would be provided, 1t was
said. Senator Hale said the mat
ter probably would be taken care
of by a lump sum appropriation
added to. the regular Navy appro.
priation bill,
The President signed the measure
within Is minutes after the Con
gressional lecders left the executive
offices. He was alone at the time
and there were no witnesses. Mr.
Coolidge had no comment to make
beyond the simple announcement OF
the signing.
That Coolidge is somewhat per
turbed over the prospects of a
Treasury deficit at the end of the
present fiscal year on June 30 was
evidenced in his conversations with
the leaders preceding the signing.
President Coolidge Is determined
to 90 out of office on March 4
leaving governmental finances In
such shape that the charge can
never be made that he left his
successor ''in debt.

Caraway Has Facts
While Blanton was sounding off
in the House. Senator Caraway was
making a follow up" of his Bur
lingame crusade in the Senate. de-
claring that he had hard facts"
relating to the local police situation
to lay before the Gibson subcom-
mittee.
Representative Gibson yesterday
reiterated his conviction that there
is a financial bond between the
underworld and the local police de-
partment and said he would be
glad to receive supporting evidence
from Senator Caraway.
The legislative life Of the Gibson
investigating subcommittee expires
March 4 and some doubt remains
as to whether It win be renewed
Information Coming In
One OF the subcommittee star
witnesses is said to be a discharged
bartender who has an intimate
knowledge of the rum.running and
the speakeasy racket" in the city,
especially with reference to the II.
nancial accounts on the score Of
police protection.
A complete picture of the pano.
rama OF ''police graft" is being
sought by Senator Caraway and
Representative Gibson, but they
say anonymous communications are
barred. Plenty OF information is
coming to them from responsible
sources, they declare.
As plans are being made for the
trial, it is reported that the
gambling and speakeasy fraternity
is piping down" and that many
characters OF the underworld are
prepared to leave town on a mo-
ment's notice.
At the District Building there is
vehement denial that the Burlin.
game trial will be q 'whitewash"
or a sham. 1t is emphasized. how.
ever, that the continued absence
of Mrs. Helen r. Blalock, accuser
Of the police official, may come
close to making an effective prose
cution OF the charges impracticahle.
There are many indications, how.
ever, that the proceeding viii have
a much broader sweep than the
specific allegations brought by the
Seventh Street seeress against Bur.
lingame, and that the new accuse.
tions made by Senator Caraway
and members of the Gibson subcom.
mittee will be brought into the
affair.
There remains a prospect that
the board win be made up Of chiefs
OF the various department. in the
District government, excluding the
police and fire departments.
1t is indicated. however, that
such a board will not satisfy either
Congress or the public as to its
impartial and disinterested char.
acter, and that the District Com.

nations to this effect today.

the bower Of his future wife, there to
succumb to her charms.
"Lindy," contrary to popular
opinion, Is not an impetuous young
man. He plans his activities with de-
liberation and care and then carries
them out in the same way. His
flight to Paris was the result OF
level-headed planning and equally
level-headed action. And there is
every reason to believe that the cul-
minRtion of his romance with Am.
bassador Morrow's daughter came
about in similar fashion.
In No Great Hurry
1t was probably many months after
Lindbergh and Miss Morrow met
that the youthful flier broached the
question that was to bring forth an
answer potent with signification,
friends here say.
They met at the Morrow residence
in Mexico City after the "Lone
Eagle made his historic goodwill
Hight from washington.
They met several times after that,
but it was in Englewood, N j.,
where the Morrows have their sll-
burban home that Linday did his
wooing.
A broken down automobile was
the instrument through which Fate
wove its romance.
One night the tiier happened to
be driving through Englewood with

and Fate with a beckoning hand
