THE Board of Public Welfare, how
ever, which has known Of the Riley
family since 1925, did not agree with
me, and wished to place Francis in
the Industrial Home. The only thing
l could do in the matter was to con-
tinue Francis case for six months and
place him with his aunt in the mean
time
Il hope that this evil existing in the
present juvenile code will be remedied
by Congress this session. The bill for
such a change has had the approval
already Of practically every social
agency In the city"
George S. Wilson, director Of public
welfare, today declined to comment on
the Edith Riley case, but said that the
board would hold a stated meeting next
Wednesday and that the matter would
probably come up for discussion at
that time.
Feared Criticism.
Mrs. Riley ignored the advice OF
school authorities to place Edith in an
institution, telling them she feared She
would be condemned by her husband
family and his first wife's people as
"a stepmother, who wants to shove her
responsibilities on other people"
This was revealed today by school
officials, who, f1ve years ago, counseled
her that because she was unable to
provide Edith with the particular kind
of care that her case demanded, she
should seek to have the child placed
in an institution.
In 1926, it was pointed out, Mrs.
Riley presented to investigating inspec-
tors of the Department of School and
Attendance and Work Permits of the
public school system certificate writ
ten and signed by her family physician
to the effect that Edith was physically
and mentally deficient" The child was
excused from entering school after the
school attendance and work permit off,
GERS had contacted with the physician
and his certificate has remained on
file at the Franklin Administration
Building ever since.
At the same time at least two Dis
trict ofKicialS urged Mrs. Riley to put
Edith in an institution in which she
could benefit by special care.
The woman was diStraught and wor-
ried beyond endurance" one of those
advisers told The Star today. "She
SAID: I can't do that Don't you see
that If I recommend that Edith be put
in an institution they'll all say
that / was just a step-mother who
wanted to shove her responsibilities of
on somebody else? want to keep the
child and do what 1 can"
II was further pointed out to The
Star that Mrs. Riley was urged to place
Edith in an institution because of the
effect Of her presence on the other and
normal children in the household. Mrs.
Riley, however. remained firm In her

STUHLDREHER BID
IS DENIED AT c. u.
Father Dineen Says He Never
Saw Philadelphia Scribe
Who Dispatched Report.

In contradiction of a Geographic dis
patch to The Star, Father T. J. Dineen.
faculty adviser of athletics at George
town University, declared today the in
stitution had made no. overture to
Harry Stuhldreher. foot ball coach at
Villanova. to replace Thomas e. Mills
as head coach on the Hilltop at the end
of the current season.
With regard to newspaper articles
concerning the coaching situation at
Georgetown, Father Dineen observed
with q touch of humor that the scribeS
seemed to know more about Mills
status than he.
The dispatch in question anent
Stuhldreher received today from .
correspondent in Philadelphia, evoked
from Father Dineen the statement: Il
never have seen the man. We have
had no communication with him"
OFFER Is RumOred.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, November IS.
From good authority 1t was revealed
here today that Harry Stuhldreher,
coach at Villanova College, has re-
ceived an offer to take over the
Georgetown University squad next
season
Stuhldreher, famed as the field gen.
eral Of Notre Danes Industrious -Four
Horsemen" Of 1924, was rendered a
proposition by q group of Georgetown
alumni who called on the Wildcat
mentor here several days ago. accord
ing to the story in circulation on the
main line campus.
The alumni. who are said to have
been sent to see Stuhldreher by au-
thorities of the Washington instttu-
ton, offered a five-year contract. The
Villanova coach is reported to have
taken the offer under consideration.
1t is virtually certain that Stuhl-
dreher, who left with the Wildcats for
Detroit last night, will leave Villanova
at the close Of the present season, when
his contract expires. Besides the George
town proposition he also is said to be
considering offers from Princeton, Wis
consin and Georgia Tech.
Reported at Loggerheads.
Stuhldreher is reported to be at log
gerheads with several OF the higher
ups of the main line college, although
Rev. James H. Grimm, president Of the
institution, denied this today.
''Stuhldreher can stay at Villanova as
long as he DESIRES" declared Father
Griffith.
This is the second attempt George
town has made to secure the services OF
the Blue and White mentor. 1t Is a
known fact that the HilltopperS made
overtures to him when Lou Little
rendered his resignation.
Stuhldreher Is one of the highest
salaried young coaches In the business.
For the past three years he has been
drawing down $4,000 plus percentage
Of the gate receipts. During his regime
Villanova has rapidly come to the fore
in the foot ball world. The Blue and
White enjoyed its greatest success
three seasons ago when they went
through the campaign undefeated, a
tie score with Bucknell being the only
blemish to q perfect record.

Chairman Campbell said that this in

function, will have the additional ad-
vantage to the Chest of saving it some

the departments.
He was particularly encouraged by
the size of the general meeting this
morning as evidencng the interest
among the workers.
In explaining why it had been decid-
ed to try to get all the pledges in by
December IL, Campbell said that this
would allow plenty of leeway before
Christmas, and the campaign would net

ways characterizes the holiday season.

Lucas testified that Donaldson and
the girl were in love with each other,
but that there had been no formal
announcement of an engagement.
Lucas said 1t was at his suggestion
that he and Donaldson went to the Al

CONGRESS TO FIX
HOOVER NAVY CUT
President to Let Legislators
Decide Sum to Be Spent
on Ships.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
President Hoover is ready to let
Congress take the next step in de-
termining how much the American
Navy will cost.
He plans to submit a Navy budget
for the 1893 fiscal year calling for
| $343, 100000. This is $59,000,000 less
than the department requested origi-
nally and $l5,000,00O less than the
supply bill passed by the last Congress.
In announcing the proposed cuts In
expenditures which precipitated him
into controversy with big Navy advo-
Gates. the Chief Executive said they
did not contemplate abandonment of
single Navy Yard, decommissioning
q single combatant vessel or decreasing
the enlisted personnel of the Navy.
Details Are Withheld.
The method by which they will be
accomplished will not be made public
until presented to Congress next month.
Mr.. Hoover said the budget provides
fer the continued construction OF every
one OF the treaty ships authorized by
Congress, except six destroyers.
The program proposed under this
budget will not decrease, but will slightly
increase the total direct and indirect
employment in the Navy in naval con-
struction in the next fiscal year over
and above that Of the present year.
He added that the t1nnage of COM
blatant ships actually in construction by
the United States now is nearly double
that Of Great Britain ana in addition
three battleShipS are being moderniZed.
The deferment of the destroyerS out
of IL authorized has mot only been q
measure of economy, but policy OF
maintaining balances in destroyer pro-.
grams and maintenance of evepness OF
employment in the yards" he said.
Rigid Economy Needed.
"These are times when the Ameri-
can people have right to rigid econ
omy on the part CT their Government. .
the President added. Many officials
have co-eperated and have taken
pride in the development of a proper
program that would contribute to TINS
economy"
The President explained that Navy
Yards would not be closed. despite the
fact that Navy officials are convinced
that the products of some OF these
wards could be made more cheaply else
where" To close them now would pro-
duce undue hardship to labor" he SAID.
Among the items not cut, which the
Navy officials originally offered as sac
rifices, are the several Navy bands and
the historic frigate Constitution.
To Build Hospital.
Even the new Philadelphia hospital
will be built, said the President, but
this will be cared for in conjunction
with the Veterans Bureau.
Even as Mr., Hoover announced the
contamination of his proposed naval
curtailments, provided Cngress leaves
the budget unchanged. new statement
bearing upon his controversy with the
Navy League was understood to be in
preparation by William H. Gardiner.
The Navy League head attacked the
| naval policies of Mr.. Hoover, centering
his criticism upon the building program
which the Chief Executive stressed yes
terday. Gardiner is planning a reply
to the decision Of a committee ap-
pointed by Mr. Hoover that his criticism
was enormously conceived.

The time of the play is laid in the "gay nineties" and its locale is New York.
 Miss Davies enacts the part of one of the "F'lorodora Sextette," fa- nous chorus girls of the last century, whose renown still per- slsts in stage circles. The romance of Miss Davies is not so serious that it is bereft of humor. She lends to her character all her abil- i.y as a clever ccmedienne.

 Besides the feature attraction, the program contains Nick and Tony in Hey Diddle Diddle," a Traveloone and a New Reel.
