FIGHT.
DELAYED IN
HOUSE
Hoover Omnibus Economy Bill
Not Ready, Budget Director
Roop Tells MCDuffie
The unexpected showdown

The unexpected showdown
today between the rival
economy plans of President
Hoover and the Democrats of
the House has been delayed
until next week.
Budget Director Roop notified
Chairman McDuffie, of the House
economy committee, today that
it will be two more days at
least before Mr.. Hoover's omnibus
economy bill is ready for presen.
tation. Under the circumstances
McDuffie called off the vote on
whether Immediately to cut Fed
eral salaries, which had been
threatened for today in the face
of the Presidents opposition.
McDuffie Assails Hoover
McDuffie assailed the President
and the Administration for delay
of the pay cut and retrenchrment
program, in a speech in which
he said that unless salaries were
reduced and savings made there
would be new faces in Congress
next year.
Speaker John Garner an.
nounced today that he approved
the flat rate reduction in salaries
in preference to the Presidents
paVleSS-furlOugh nlan.
All in One Moves
Mr.. Hoover wants economy
effected in one big move, through
passage of an omnibus bill which
will include his own plan of
effecting salary reductions.
The House Democrats want to
reduce salaries first and then con-
slider other economies.
The President, favoring a
system of furlough without pay
which actually would cost the
small employees more money,
argued for over three hours with
the committee yesterday TO con-
vince the members that a blanket
bill embracing all of the drastic
economies contemplated in the
Federal service was preferable to
piecemeal action.
He promised that all of the
drafting services of the executive
departments would be made
available to the committee. to
draw up such a measure within
48 hours
Favor One Single Bill
Principally, however, he is
anxious that an omnibus economy
bill be drafted. To that end, he
had Secretary of the Treasury
Mills, Postmaster General Brown,
Budget Director Roop, and Vet
erans' Administrator Hines with
him yesterday when he exhorted
the committee.
These men reviewed all of the
methods they had in mind of par.
ing further money off the budget.
1t was argued that from a tacti-
cal standpoint it was better to
present a single general bill than
to vote on the various reforms
as riders to ap-
preparation bills.

The Treaty Navy.

Before the House Naval Affairs Com
mittee hearings are in progress on the
bill just introduced by its chairman.
Representative VinSon, Democrat, of
Georgia, providing for construction of
the Navy authorized for the United
States under the London limitation
treaty. The bill calls for a ten-year
program, involving construction of l20
vessels-aircrsft carriers, cruisers, de-
Stroyers and submarines-at a cost of
$6l6 100000 The expenditure would be
spread over the years between now and
1912, averaging about s6l 900, ,000 Rep
reSentative Vinson proposes that only
5000, 900 be spent during the next fis-
cal year, the annual appropriation ris-
ing to peak Of 500, 900 900 in the fiscal
year 1887.
Congress should promptly enact the
treaty navy bill. 1t would give the
United States not ton or q gun more

delegation asked for, fought for and
obtained at the London conference OF
1880. The gross new tonnage sought,

which time and again has been de-

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

A retired sailor, with knowledge of
navigation, might work up neat liv-
ing in a large city by supplying the
position Of homes to home owners.
AS far as the writer here knows, this
is his own idea, which he offers to any
one who has the ability to handle
seXtant.
Houses are ships, sailing a sea of
green.
Each home has a fixed position on
the earth. 1t is seldom that q house
is moved, although that sometimes
happens.
Mostly our homes stay in one place,
however, so that their position" once
determined. will remain the same.
1t occurred to us that hundreds of
home owners would be interested in
knowing the exact location of their
homes on the great earth.
Taking the ships position is done
every day. owing to the movement CT
the vessel, but the position of house
would have to be determined but once.
The astute gentleman who furnished
these positions might embellish them
on a blue print, or some such device,
and furnish this to the customer in the
landowner certified document.
X X
The first objection to this plan is one
voiced by gentleman to whom we ex-
planned it:
Nobody but you would want to
know the position of his home"
That might be true, for the present.
but there is where the education would
come inl
A little judicious advertising would
help largely, it would seem.
After while, every one would want
the position" of his home taken, just
as every one wants a correct survey
and a good photograph Of his house
and grounds.
At first the demand would come from
members of the great tribe OF Friends
of Ships.
This is a far larger organization than
many would imagine.
In every place in the world there are
many people, especially men, who have
secret love of ships in their veins
The great seas of the world enthrall
them.
They may never have been within a
thousand miles of the ocean, but never
thelesS the sound of it Is in their ears
forever.
Their love for the water is in their
blood. They were born with 1t. They
read sea stories. The sight OF pic
ture of a clipper ship touches strange
chords.
These men are thinking about the
sea and wondering how it is life never
permitted them to go down to 1t In
ships, as biblical language has 1t.
X X
The fact that they own no vessels
and probably never will, not even
small sailboat, has relatively little to
Go with it,
Even they might be afraid Of the
water, having had no experience OF 1t
in their youth, the proper time to re-
move all fears from the mind and
heart.
Often it is too late in life to safely
remove fears, if one waits to middle
age or later.
The dream of mankind is to be afraid
of nothing, but to retain proper re-
Spect for the unknown.
Respect of the water is wholesome,
If one does not know how to swim.

The Reconstruction Program

President Hoover's message TO Con-
gress yesterday urging quick action on
his recommendations for improving the
banking and credit situation in this
country calls attention to the para
mount Importance to the Nation Of con-
structive action" Generally speaking,
members of Congress are imbued with
the same idea and hope for prompt
consideration of the measures, some OF
which have already been introduced, to
carry out the Presidents recommenda-
tions. Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
the Democratic leader of the Senate,
following the reading Of the Presidents
message asserted that the Democrats
in neither house of Congress had de-
layed or avoided action on the promi-
nent measures of relief referred to in
the message.
The Presidents legislative proposals
were not new, but had been commended
to Congress in his earlier messages.
He made more definite a proposal to
bring relief to the depositors in closed
banks, thereby releasing millions of
dollars to circulation. But in the main
his recommendations were for the
Strengthening of the Federal Land
Bank System, the establishment of
Reconstruction Corporation to furnish
credits not otherwise obtainable, the
creation of a system of home loan dis
count banks, the enlargement of the
discount privileges of the Federal Re
serve banks to take care of emer-
gencies, revision of laws relating to the
railroads and revision Of the banking
laws better to guard the depoSitorS He
repeated his urgent desire that the ut
most be done to keep down Federal ap-
propriations.
The message was nOn-partisan in
tone, the President explaining that his
proposals had been made to Congress
after consultation with Democrats as
well as Republicans, and with many
leaders in the financial world and in
dustry A disposition has been mani
tested by Democratic leaders in the
House and Senate to deal with the re-
construction program on non-par-
tisan basis. However, the Democrats
have reserved the right to make
changes in the proposed measures of
relief If they believe that these meas
ures can be improved.
The countrv & particularly interested
in quick the So-called recon-
structior yg N, hoping that 1t will
materit restoring confidence in
this coun. nd in bringing business
with attendant employment OF labor
and a degree of prosperity. President
Hoover expects much to be accom-
plished by the creation Of the Recon-
struction Corporation, to function as
did the War Finance Corporation dur
ing the World War. Such an organiza-
ton, with wide range of credit, un-
doubtedly would aid in establishing
confidence. The stocks of all kinds
Of materials and commodities in this
country are gradually becoming re-
duced to a point where further pro-
duction Is essential. When that pro-
duction becomes more necessary still,
there is bound to be a revival Of indus
try. After all, productive work, rather
than credit, is the essential need today.

Stories of Booths Escape
Received With Skepticism

Recent revival of the legend that John
i Wilkes Booth escaped after his Staying
of Lincoln, and that some other per-
sons body was buried for his fails to
convince the public. Study of the
mummy of John st. Helen by Chicago
medical experts, with the announce
ment that characteristics found cor
respond with those known to have been
possessed by Booth, leaves the world
still skeptical
THE Booth mystery fingers on
catching the fancy of the credulous, "
says the Rockford Register Republic
recalling the official report of the death
OF Booth, as related with much detail
in The History of the United States
Secret Service published in the sos
and written by Brig. Gen. La Fayette
c. Baker, who is credited with having
organized the Unions secret service and
was its first chief" The Register-Re-
public gives the detailed information
According to this narrative, Booth was
shot by Sergt. Boston Corbett. The
body was brought to Washington. the
purSuers also bringing as prisoner the
man Herold, one of the conspirators.
Only few persons were permitted to
view the body. Gen. Baker writes, and
these for purposes Of recognition They
were a DR.. May, who had removed a
carbuncle from Booths neck two years
earlier, and five others, inquest wit
neSses, who had known Booth intimately
for years. The story of the disposition
of Booths body is told in few para
graphs with which the general con-
Cludes his historical volume. With the
assistance of Lieut.. L. B. Baker, Gen.
Baker took the body from the gunboat
on which the inquest was held direct
to the old penitentiary, adjoining the
arsenal grounds" The editorial closes
with the statement that "reburial by
friends or members of the family, it is
told in other accounts, was made later"
X
THAT Booth did escape has become
a legepd In many parts of the South"
according to the Knoxville Journal,
which recalls stories of his residence in
little town Of middle Tennessee, or
Of his position as college instructor, or
of his filling the role Of "a morbid and
horror haunted villain, moving in de-
spair from place to place over the entire
South, hoping to escape a just fate that
awaited him" The Journal continues:
That he finally killed himself and that
his body was prepared for exhibition
as the present horrifying mummy is
part of the story now under discussion.
OF the truth of the whole dark occur
renee which brought him to destruction
history itself has never taken full
thought. 1t is a record tragic enough
in any way that it may be taken, but
that Booth acted from reasons of politi-
cal or sectional revenge has long been
diSproved His was personal ven
geance against his victim. 1t blackened
his memory, embittered the heart of
Edwin Booth his brother, and the
North'S reaction to it brought upon the
South woes without number The
whole Sorrowful tale may one day be-
come a part of history"

Dearly do we love to believe what
can't be true" AYERS the Springfield
Illinois State Journal, which refers to
the myth attaching to the memory of |
Michel Ney. Grand Marshal of France, |
