Coolidge Idea.

Washington, Jan. rs (UP)-Chair-
man Britten of the house naval COM

eve of the crucial battle to push the

Herbert Hoover had given him the

tanning the time limit clause in the
program.
President Coolidge has insisted on
elimination of the clause.
Britten's statement reads in part:
"Wt en- l talked with Mr.. Hoover the
other day he certainly gave me the
impression of desiring a navy second
to none in power and efficiency; a
navy commensurate with our world
commercial and political position.
Il am sure the time limit will be
pleasing to Mr.. Hoover.
Americas desire for free use of
the seas cannot be assured by paper
agreements alone. Steel ships with
big guns accompanied by airplanes.
speak with greater force than time
worn words of friendly treaties to
maintain freedom of the seas.

bill Is the most important section of
the bill. 1t is the one real assur-
ance for Is steel ships under con-
struction In 1881 when the Wash
tngton conference meets again.
THE house is overwhelmingly in
favor Of building real steel ships
quickly and the two-year time limit

OF the dead woman's coat News
papers published pictures of 1t and:
from these photographs Tobin be-
came convinced that the doll was
the one he had given Mrs. Cullen.
Shortly afterward, Tobin identified
the body.
Authorities were puzzled by 4
seeming lack OF motive for the
crime. Mrs. Cullen had written TO
relatives in Lowell. telling how hap
by she and her husband were. and
Cullen had appeared in good spirits
ever since the wedding day.
Information from Lowell was to
the effect that an attractive married
woman of this town had caused an
arrangement between Cullen and
his fiancee a few months before
their marriage.
Mrs. William Furmoule OF South
Billerica, at whose homo Mrs. Gull
len was employed prior to her mar
riage, reported that the dead wo-
man had told her early last fall
that Cullen had broken their en-
gagement. He gave III health US
the reason for his action but the
woman he later married refused to
accept this explanation. insisting
that he was friendly with mar
ried woman in bingham. according
to Mrs. Furmoyle.
A reconciliation was effected on
Christmas Day. at which time Gull
len gave his sweetheart a small dia-
mond ring. Mrs. Furmoyle said, and
plans for an early marriage were
hastily completed.
After the wedding in Lowell a
week ago yesterday, the Cullens
went to the East Weymouth apart
ment which they had engaged and
furnished.
Cullen had been employed as a
foreman by the metropolitan district
commission. His superiors describ-
ed him az q steady worker and rs
not addicted to liquor.
Police learned. however, that on
March -. 1928. Cullen was COM
mitted to the Medfield state hospital
on a temporary care paper signed
by a Weymouth physician. and re-
mained there until the following
June 10.
Cullen's commitment came after
he had leaped from a second story
window Of his East Weymouth
home. He told police he had heard
voices and had been chased by a
girl. Next day he was given a
one-month Jail sentence for drunk
enness. but while serving this term
he was transferred to the state hos
pital, where his ailment was dag
nosed a. alcoholic hallucinosis. He
was practically normal when dis
charged from the hospital. however.
