Secretary Adams Of
 Navy Gives Orders
(Continued from Page 1)

While under arrest he is confined to the limits of the Quantico reser- vation and is not permitted to dis cuss the case with anyone.
 Arrangements for converting the court were begun in Washington but it may be several days before the court can be appointed owing to the fact that the records of proce- dure in such important cases are buried in the army and navy files. The army has not court martialed 8 major general since 1883 while the trial of Brigadier General William Mitchell for his criticism of supe- riors and of the air service in Janu. ary. 1926 following the destruction of the dirigible Shenandoah. is the last time an officer of general rank in either the army or navy has been court martialed, The navy was un- able immediately to find in it's rec. ord an account of the last trial of an officer of Buffers rank.
 Secretary Stimson received Am bassador De Martino about an hour after the order for the court mar tial was issued. When De Martina left, Stimson issued the following statement:
 Having learned from the navy department that Major General Smedley D. Butler, U. s. M. C., has admitted that the quotation of his remarks in the press was substan- tially correct, I have this morning handing a note to the Italian am. bassador expressing to Signor Mus. solini and the Italian people the deep regret of this government al this unauthorized action on the part of an officer on active duty"

(Continued from Page 1.)

on old age pensions. To-day, in support of the appointment of this special committee, Senator Albert E. Lavery, republican, introduced in the senate a bill providing for old age pensions for citizens over 65 years to bring their weekly income up to $9 a week.
 Last night 33 representatives of various state, fraternal, labor, social and welfare organizations met in Hartford at the Hotel Garde. MT Harris was among those present from Waterbury. At the session a bill calling for old age pensions was studied and approved. The appoint ment of the special committee to wait on the governor, senators and representatives was then named.
 With MT Harris on the committee are Julius Stremlau of Meriden. rep resenting the Fraternal Order of Eagles. and John Egan of Bridge port, executive secretary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor.
 The Lavery bill seeks an annual appropriation of $896,000 together with $3c,000 for administration pur- poses, making 8 total of $925,OOO. The special committee named will ask the appointment of a commits sion to gather facts on old age pen sions for use by the judiciary com mittee in weighing the merits of the Lavery bill.

quate appropriation was arrived at by MT Egan following several months of investigation in coopera- ton with Attorney Cornelius J. Danaher of Meriden, counsel for the Connecticut Federation of Labor. The figures are based on the number of dependent people more than 65 years of age, in Connecticut and on a comparison of figures in Canadian provinces and in several states wh ere old age pension acts have been adopted.
 MT Egan undertook to get from each town in Connecticut the num- Der of persons more than 65 years of age in the poor house and the ap- proximate cost of pension in each case. Tabulations made from re- ports of 59 towns show that one out of every TIP persons more than 65 years of age is either in the poor house CT receives town aid. The total fro the 59 towns was 2,255 people.
 It is estimated that the average annual pension would be $312. The reports from the 59 towns showed a population of $325,651 persons, with 145 in the poor houses and 243 re- ceiving town aid. all more than Ga years or age. Der1vlng rat1O rom these figures. the labor secretary | estimates that there are approxi- mately 1.055 persons in the poor houses in the state over 65 years of age and 1,2O0 persons over this age receiving aid outside the poor house. | Under the provisions of the Lavery bill the pensions would be controlled by five-man commission named by the governor. To be eligible for an old age pension the applicant would have to be citizen. 65 or more years of age and have resided con- tinuously in Connecticut for not less than 15 years immediately preceding the application. The bill further rules that for 10 years preceding the application the applicant shall not
 have been imprisoned in the state penitentiary. No inmate of a prison jail. workhouse. insane asylum ol
 public reformatory, will be eligible for the pension.
 The bill also requires that the in- come of the applicant from all sources must not exceed $468 Q year and that the value of property held by the applicant must not be in ex- cess of $3,000. Also. the aged per- son must have no child or any other person legally responsible for his or her support under the laws of the state and fully able to Support the applicant.

 Deficiency Bill.
 Hartford. Conn. Jan 29.-(CP)- The lower branch of the general assembly to-day concurred with the senate in passing $1, 513.G85.S1 de- ficiency appropriation bill to cover deficits in state departments during the two-year fiscal period ending June 30, 1881. The senate passed the measure Tuesday and was made order of the day in the house to- day.

ment appropriation bill.
 It was learned to-day the presi- dent has assured friends he will either veto or nullify the appropria- tion if congress leaves it in the in- terior department bill. MT Hoover is represented as standing squarely behind John Barton Payne, Red Cross chairman, who has acted as the presidents unofficial spokesman in advising congress against the ap- propriation.
 If the senate has it's way and the appropriation is made, MT Hoover could halt use of the money through q veto, but this would kill all other appropriations in the supply meas ure and might force an extra ses- sion to provide funds for the interior department. An alternative course would necessitate a direct defiance of the will of congress. The president could refuse to take the money. The appropr alton could be left in the treasury, Payne using only the Red Cross subscription fund.
 Either course would carry dan gers of serious political and legis- lative consequences, but MT Hoover, according to his friends, is determin- ed to follow one or the other unless the house prevents the appropria- ton.
 Democrats were talking to-day of voting the money to some other agency for administration. but this was not yet developed into a real movement. As 8 result of the agita- ton and the charges involving MT Hoaver. the issue has grown much larger than what congress would do bout the appropriation
 The senate attack on President Hoover was never more bitter than in this case, nor was the Red Cross ever subjected to such criticism as came forth from the senate after Payne refused the appropriation.
 Tt would be so much more man. ly for President Hoover to say this himself rather than to drag down the name of that great charitable organization" Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkansas, said.
 That stain shows how completely the Red Cross has ceased to be an organization of mercy and has be- come the political instrument of the president
 Payne was subjected to criticism in the senate some time ago when he announced after call at the White House that $10,000.000 more was needed by the Red Cross, though he had said previously the relief organization had enough money.
 He told the committee yesterday the $25,00O,000 amendment had ''paralyzed" the campaign for the $10,O0O,00O. While he was before the committee, the Red Cross issued a statement saying the organization was making Hong strides" in it's campaign. The total collected now is $3,874,996.
 Before it closed it's hearings, the house subcommittee heard from two Red Cross field workers. Albert E. Evans said 57,079 families are being fed in Arkansas and 50.000 more may Be added by the end of this month. Henry M. Baker said chap ters in Oklahoma are feeding 69,700 individuals in 40 counties.

Hits Attorney Lewis

Hartford, Jan. 29.-A bill aimed
 at the general law practice of States Attorney l.. L. Lewis was introduced
 in the general assembly to-day. The
 measure would prevent Attorney Lewis from appearing as counsel in
 civil cases before a jury tried in the
 New Haven county. It will affect all pending cases in which MT. Lewis is interested. The idea of the measure is evidently to prevent states at- torney from acting before juries one week as the representative of the ltstate and later as counsel in civil actions. The prestige of the states attorneys office is likely to influence some of the jurors, is the intimation.
