Two resolu- tions are expected to be submitted to congress soon after opening of the session January 3. Their adop- tion would commit congress to a full treaty strength navy. and would give the president power ar bitrarily to replace over-age ships whenever necessary. Advocates of the program claimed replacements and expenditures would be reduced annually in the upkeep of mod ern force after completion of the plan in 1889.
 Secretary of Navy Swanson, with policy of treaty navy second to none," plans to build the 102 ships by expending $100,000,0 900 annually Congress will be asked to provide funds for 23 ships dur ing 1884, most of which would be destroyers and submarines.

THE DEFENDING
 CHAMPION LOST
D Dayton Girl Surprised Helen GraWn of Detroit
 By Beating Her

Chestnut Hill. Mass. Dec. 2S.- (UP) Hollinger of Day ton, O., an unseeded entry, elim- mated Helen Grawn of Detroit, the defending champion, in the quar- ter-finals of the national girls in- door tennis championship today.
 The scores were: 6-4 1-6. S-6.
 Miss Grawn was within point of victory in the deciding set. Leading, 5-S. in games. she built up a 40-15 lead in the ninth game. But Miss Hollinger deuced and finally won the game, then went on to take the next two and match.
 The Dayton girls surprise vic tory was featured by an exceed ingly aggressive brand of tennis. She played so energetically that the intermission between the sec ond and third sets found her near exhaustion. But after the rest she came back to outstroke the cham pion in the long third set.
 Miss Grawn's game undoubtedly suffered from lack of competition. She had drawn a first-round bye and won her second-round match by default, so that today's match was her first of the tournament.
 Louise Harding of Brookline de- feated Louise Hedlund of Water town in straight love sets, and will meet Miss Hollinger in the semi finals tomorrow.
 Millicent Hirsch of New York, seeded second. kept in the running by beating Kay Parrot of Winches- ter, 6-1, 60. In the semi-finals she will meet Sylvia Hatch of Winchester. who beat Mariette Arquinbaum Of Stamford, Conn.,, in a quarter-final match yesterday.

MILLIONS POUR INTO INSURANCE
 POOL OF BANKS
Federal Govt. Has Guarded Money of DepOsitOrs
 By This Act
By RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY United Press Financial Core.
 SpOndcnt)

Washington, Dec 2S-- (UP) Millions of dollars in assessments | from thousands of banks today were pouring into the governs ment's gigantic insurance pool un- 1 der which most of the country'S bank depositors will have their money insured up to. $2,500 be- ginning Tuesday.
 From present indications fewer, than a thousand of the country's operating 14,500 banks will not have their deposits insured in this manner at the first of the year and most of these are expected to be brought in shortly afterward.
 Employees of the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation have been working day and night for weeks in the reexamination of the coun- try's banks required before their participation in the pool.
 Meanwhile. assessment checks came in from thousands of banks as rapidly as they were approved. The checks. amounting to many millions of dollars, are deposited in the treasury for the account of the Federal Deposit Insurance cor poration. The money will be left
 
 government bonds.
 The checks from the banks reps resent their share in the insurance fund. Participating banks are pay ing in one-quarter of one per cent of their insurable deposits imme-t diately and an additional payment of a like amount is due on call. The largest ayment reported so far is from the Bank of America amounting to $S60.000.
 On the basis of the one-haf of one per cent assessment. approxi- mately $2OO, ,O00,00C would be rais. ed on the estimated $40,0O0.O00,00e deposits insurable under the plan. An additional $15,00O,000 is to be supplied by the federal government and approximately $131,000,000 by the 12 Regional Federal Reserve banks out of their surplus.
 These sums will give the insur- ance pool a potential sum of $50O,- 100000 when the insurance be-
