House Bill to Expand swear
Building Program Passed
by Senate.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The expenditure Of another $1O0, 000,-
900 for public buildings throughout the
United States was authorized yesterday
with added provisions for speeding up
existing construction to aid employment.
A House bill to expand the flve-year
building program by that amount was
passed by the Senate, but the House
must yet approve Senate changes be-
fore the measure can go to the White
House.
The additional authorization when
appropriated will bring to $415, 900
the sum available for public buildings
outside the National Capital.
One amendment added by the Sem
ate would increase from $10,000,000 to
SIS, 100000 the amount that may be
spent annually in any one State. This
is designed to accelerate authorized
work.
Another change approved would per-
NIT the Secretary of the Treasury to
accept bids up to 5 per cent above
the estimated limit Of cost on any
particular building, but limiting the
operation of this liberalizing feature to
June 80, 1882. The House bill pro-
vided limit of 10 per cent.

Taxpayers Hope Economies
viii Make Up for
Lack of Funds.

Taxpayers of Warren township
we're hopeful today of nine-month
school term for their high school
students next year, as township Off
Gals slashed expenses to counter
balance the handicap of depleted
school funds.
Resolving that the best way to lift
the township out of the financial
plight caused by alleged waste of
funds by former trustee, the adj
visory board has told Charles M.
Walker, present trustee, to stretch
available funds as far as possible.
The township needs $4,000 to
prevent clipping of one month from
the school term, a move which
would endanger status of Warren
high school, rated as one of the best
rural schools in the state.
A state board of accounts report
stated that w. H. Cooper, former
trustee, wasted school funds by ex-
ceSsive and illegal expenditures" The
township must pay approximately
$4,000 in debts left by Cooper.
Walker announced prospects ~or
nine months of school seemed
brighter today, as the advisory board
prepared to save $4,000 on trans
portation of pupils.
This saving is effected by combin-
ing bus routes and by reducing pay
of bus drivers from ST to $11 day
to a $6.40 average. Trustee Walker
declared.
The Warren teaching force also
is being reduced in the attempt to
negotiate economies.
School bus driver contracts were
let to the lowest bidders. The town
ship will spend about $17,500 for
transportation this next year, as
compared with $4,000 last year.
Cutting of the Warren high school
superintendent salary from $4,000
to $1,000 a year was announced as
another step in the move to keep
within the budget

EVIDENCE SEEN
OF FAILURE AT

Lodge Declares European
Sentiment viii Have
to Show Change.
BIZ United Press

WILLIAMSTOWN. Mass. Aug. 5.
The February disarmament con-
ference at Geneva will result IN
failure, with each nation trying to
shift the blame to some other ma
hon, if European opinion does not
change, Henry Cabot Lodge, New
York newspaper man and grandson
of the late Massachusetts, senator,
predicted today at the institute Of
politics.
''The singular lack of success of
the disarmament effort at Geneva,
added to the recent declarations of
France, Great Britain and Ger
many, has raised the question in
the minds of many workers for
peace as to whether the conference
ought to be held at ALL" Lodge said
/. The attitude of the participants
in the forthcoming conference is
that they are unwilling to make sac
rifices, he said, while the danger
from world ornaments exists in Eu=
rope, not in this country. Conse--
quently, he argued, sacrifices by the
United States would be useless with
out cooperation from Europe.
Another speaker on the coming
disarmament conference was Capt
John Willis Greenslade, U. S. N.
who said the United States can not
reduce the number of battleships in
exchange for similar reductions
abroad because the battleship,
stands for this country in lieu of
colonial bases as protection Of vital
elements of our great commercial
dominion.

MAN WITHOUT
COUNTRY HELD
SHIP PRISONER
England and America Deny
Entry to StoWaWay, SO
He Stays at Sea.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
BOSTON, Aug. 3-The famous
character created by DR.. Edward
Everett Hale in his story THE Man
Without Country" seems to have
been given life in Peter Russell,
stranded on the steamer Winona
County. plying between this port
and Manchester, Liverpool and
Cork.
Russell, due to uncertainty of his
birthplace, has been refused en-
trance to the United States and the
British empire. Until the matter is
settled, he is doomed to remain
aboard the commercial vessel.
Russell was deported on the Wi
mona County about a month ago
as a British stowaway. Authorities
there refused to permit him to land,
claiming he was not an Englishman,
but an American, and he was sent
back.
When the Winona County docked
here Sunday immigration Inspector
Joseph v. Mitchell ordered the
ships captain, R. B. Atherton, to
hold Russell aboard ship as tech
meal prisoner. The boat is due to
leave port in few days and, as far
as authorities here are concerned
Russell will leave, too.
Russell's claim to American citi-
zenship has been proved false, i'm
migration heads say.
Russell shipped originally as an
American seaman aboard the S. S.
Bannack at Baltimore, he missed
his ship at Cork and slowed away
on the S. S. Bellfower. When he
landed here, he gave conflicting
stories about his birthplace. After
lengthy investigation, he was de-
ported to England.
Captain Atherton, in no RESPONSE
BILE for Russell slowing away on the
Bellf1ower, seems to be holding the
bag" Until British and American
officials fight the matter out, he is
responsible for the man and under
continual bond for his appearance.

Same Candidates in 1882,
Says Scott Mcbride.
By United Press

By Uaited Press
SHELBY, Mich, Aug. 3.-The ma
jor political lineup in 1882 will be
just as it was in 1928-Herbert Hoo
yer and Alfred E. Smith running
for the presidency-if the prediction
of DR.. F. Scott Mcbride, general
superintendent of the Anti Saloon
League is correct.
DR.. Mcbride does not believe the
Democrats will nominate Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York.
"At the opening of the Demo-
cratic convention, first votes will go
to Roosevelt, but he will not receive
sufficient support from eastern and
northern states to secure the neces-
sary two-thirds ajority," DR.. Nc
Bride said. ''Then, with the dele
gates weary, Smith will be ad-
vanced, and the nomination will be
his"
Neither Smith nor Roosevelt will
be acceptable to the league, DR.. Nc
Bride said.

A decree was issued proclaiming
that engineers, technicians and
others in this heretofore despised

The move raises the intelligent

as direct effort to win collabora-
ton of these experts, in the five
year plan, in line with the recent
pronouncement by JOSEPH " Stain,

The decree specified that the chill
