Barrere, Cleared, Turns Prosecutor
BY NELSON HARDING

he was not in his home early the
evening Of April II and did not
return until between 9:30 and 10
o'clock, probably later. He added
that he had attended a Boy Scout
meeting with his young son and
later the two visited friends of
the family, Mr.. and, Mrs. Roy
Smith, in the 600 block Hamilton
st. N. w.
The Smiths since that time
have moved to some point IN
Arkansas and an effort is TO be
made to locate them in order to
check on this part Of the alibi set
forward by Campbell.
Drawn and haggard after his
incarceration in the Arlington
county Jail, Campbell had lost
much of the self confidence that
had marked his earlier talks with
newspaper men.
While waiting to take the stand,
Campbell called certain parts Of
his story fantastic but true"
He stated again yesterday, po-
lice said, that his sole purpose
in bringing in the murder weapon
had been to set himself up as
the 'key man" in the murder
probe whose efforts would solve
a battling crime. He added, ac-
cording to Kelly:

When it was explained to him
that the newspapers had already

rere said:
"WelI, it's all off then"
commemorative Attorney
Cloth said that Barrere has been
positively exonerated of any con,
nection with the murder.
He said, however, that Barrere
would be held indefinitely in the
county jail. Barrere heard him
make that statement, and he
turned to the group that was
standing nearby and said that he
was willing to stay in Jail so that
he might be close to authorities
to give them any information or
advice that he might have.
Smiles at Change
AS he was leaving the court
house to return to his cell in the
Jail Barrere, with a smile, said:

whelming ratification of the Lon
don naval pact. negotiated to
give the United States, actual
parity with Great Britain, there
were intimations on Capitol Hill
today that America may be con
tent with an inferior navy"
throughout the life of the treaty.
The United States must en-.
gage in a tremendous naval con-
struction program during the
next few years to achieve any
thing like parity with the British.
There were hints today that large
blocs in Congress as well as the
Hoover Administration itself
would be apathetic or antagon-
istic to any. substantial expendi-
lures on new warships. -.
Bid for 1888
There was one real impetus to-
ward a building program. 1t was
the desire of Administration
leaders to give the United States
a navy strong enough by 1885 to
inspire q desire in England and
Japan for q real reduction in
naval ornaments.
To achieve real parity with the
British, America must build, or
complete, Il giant 10,0O0-ton g.
inch gun cruisers by 1885, and
three more by. 1888. between
10000 and 10000 tons Of 6-inch
gun cruisers and numerous re-
placements in submarines and
destroyers. This would entail
expenditures running into hun
dreds Of millions.
Johnson Likes 8-Inch
Both 'little navy" and "big
navy" leaders expressed opposi-
ton to building any of the 6-inch
gun cruisers. The S-inch gun
cruisers presented a different
problem, since Congress already
has authorized the construction
Of % such cruisers, under its old
program, and already has appro-
priated for eight of them, only
one Of which-the Salt Lake
City-has been completed. Seven
more are under construction the
Is cruisers of this class allotted.
Senator johnson was doubtful
about the wisdom of Construct
ing 6-inch gun cruisers. 1t was
certain johnson would lead a
fight next fall for the. remaining
seven 8-inch cruisers allotted the
United States. =

Norris Doubts Wisdom Of New
Half. Billion Purchase; Calls
curtalIment Of Crop ''Bunk"

q
Wide differences Of opinion de-
veloped today between Senator
Norris. (R), Of Nebraska, and
other Senators Of the grain belt
over suggestions made by Senator
Capper, (R) Of Kansas, that the
Federal Farm Board buy 100,-
OOO, 900 bushels of wheat. and
other measures for affording re-
lief to the wheat farmer.
Norris doubted the wisdom of
the drive being made on Chair
man Legge, Of the Farm Board.
to use part of the half-million
dollar emergency fund provided
in the farm marketing act, to
purchase the surplus.
Asks Old Scheme
The Nebraskan predicted that
eventually the equalization fee
or the export debenture plan, con-
tanned in the McNary-H -Haugen
bill, vetoed by President Hoover,
would have to be given q trial.
He assrted that If the surplus
were taken off the market, the
Government would take loss,
and then be criticised.
Crop Cuts Bunk"
Expressing utmost confidence
in Legge, Norris said the trouble
lies not only with the Farm
Board. One of the principal hand
leaps In meeting the present en-
ergency, he said, is the law under
which the board operates.
Norris characterized as "pure
bunk" suggestions that the far
mer reduce his wheat acreage.

TRACK RAISING
TO Be TALKED
Mayor to Discuss Closing of
Bluff Road.

Details of a plan to close Bluff
road in connection with the south
side track elevation project is to be
sifted by Mayor Reginald H. Sulli-
van at a conference today with the
works board and city council works
committee.
The 1925 agreement between the
board and the Belt railroad provides
for joining of Bluff road to Merid-
ian street, south Of the proposed
elevation.
Several south side organizations
have fought the program. City Of
f1cials contend it is unwise to con-
struct two overhead bridges within
a few hundred feet, and point out
that any change in the agreement
will cause a delay of months. Me-
ridian street will be widened to
seventy-eig eight feet under the thor
oughfare plan.
The ultimate intent Of the city Is
to extend Bluff road along the east
bank Of White river after it is
Strengthened, coming into the city
on West street.
South side residents have OBJ
jected to dead-ending Bluff road
at the elevation and making a right
angle turn to Meridian street, less
than block east, although they are
anxious for the elevation program to
proceed. 1t is estimated that the
additional elevated bridge would cost
in excess of 100000 and cause fur
ther delay.
