.L|NDBERGH CALLED
|. FOR MEANS TRIAL
Colonel Will Testify Against
Two in Conspiracy Case
Monday.

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh will come
to Washington Monday to testify in
District Supreme Court as a Govern
meat witness against CASTOR B. Means
and Norman T. Whitaker, according to
word received yesterday by United
States Attorney Leo A. Rover.
Means and Whitaker are charged
with conspiring to steal S35.000 from
Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Mclean by falsely
telling her they were in a position to
ransom the kidnapped son of Col Lind
bergh.
Mr. Rover was reluctant to subject
Col. Lindbergh to the ordeal Of testify
ing in the case, but the necessity OF
proving that the kidnapped child prob
ably was dead at the time Mrs. Mclean
was approached by the alleged cons
pirators was believed to make his ap-
pearance imperative.
Means already has been convicted
OF the larceny Of $104000 from Mrs
Mclean In connection with the same
fictitious ransom proposal. He an6
Whitaker are said to have conSpired
to induce Mrs. Mclean to give them
the additional $35,000 to replace part
of the 5000 of marked money which
Lindbergh paid the kidnapers through
DR.. John F. Condor.
Col. Lindbergh is now on the Pacific
Coast with his wife, but is expected to
return here by plane for the trial.

NAVY LEAGUE RAPS
ECONOMY ARGUMENT
Not to Build to Treaty Strength
Except on Self-Liquidating
Basis Held Senseless.

By the Associated Press.
The Navy League of the United States
said today in formal statement that
the argument that the American fleet
should not be built to treaty strength
because such work was not self-liuuidat-
ing was devoid of common sense"
ut is now generally known that the
United States fleet Is inferior not only
to that Of the British empire, but also
to that Of the Japanese empire, except
ing in capital ships" the statement
said.
Against the proposal to build the
fleet to treaty terms in conjunction with
unemployment relief works, the league
said there had been advanced "the
typically academic sophism that only
works Of a 'self-iquidating' nature
should be undertaken" to aid recovery.
Such a PROFESSIONAL point Of view"
the statement continued, "overlooks the
fact that the primary purpose Of a navy
Is to assure foreign respect for our trade
and treaties and so to preserve peace.
mot to maintain our Navy In the
present tense state Of affairs in Europe
and in Asia because it is not self
liquidating' Is as devoid of common
sense as 1t would be for a municipality
not to maintain its police force in times
Of public unrest because the police are
not self-supporting."

today were seeking an accomplice who
helped rob an Eastern High School
teacher Of $76O in cash and checks as
she alighted from her automobile at
the Ninth and East Capitol street
branch Of the Washington Mechanics
Savings Bank yesterday.

Andrew Conley. g., admitted he

taking from the school bank to deposit
in the savings bank branch. Conley
was arrested last night by headquarters

Denies Bandits Story.
Detective Sergt. Howard E. Ogle
quoted Conley as having said he saw
bills sticking from the bag" which Miss
Hardy carried, and this prompted him
to rob her. Miss Hardy, however, ex-
planned she carried the money inclosed
carefully within a canvas bag. Both
Miss Hardy and police believe she was
robbed by persons who had her move
ments under scrutiny for some time, as
she makes trips to the bank daily and
yesterday went alone for the first time
in three months.
Conley. police say. refused to talk
about his accomplice. The latter re-
manned in sedan parked just in front
of where Miss Hardy stepped from her
automobile. The teacher struggled with
the bandit, who held a pistol in his
right hand while he grasped the money
bag in his left. The mans superior
strength, rather than Miss Hardy's fear
of his gun, forced her to give up the
bag, she said. The bandit ran to the
waiting sedan, which sped of as soon
as he got on the running board.
Quizzed in Other Cases.
Conley, who had no stated address,
was being held for investigation, while
police checked the possibility that he
is implicated in other hold-ups. Ogle
said. Other detectives assigned to the
investigation were H. D. johnson, T. NJ.
McVeary and Tom Sullivan.
Police traced the license number of
the bandit car furnished by Miss Hardy
The man to whom it was listed said he
had loaned the machine to an &C
quaintance known only as BILL" and
it had not been returned.
Police also arrested a young man
and a girl for questioning, but ex-
pected to release them.
When arrested, Conley had $l75.81
on his person, which police say, he
admitted was part Of the loot. The
money stolen consisted Of $475 in cash,
at least $100 of which was in copper
and silver coins, and the remainder in
checks and notes.

WILL Be DECIDED

tomorrow.
The orchestra. which In two years
has achieved a prominent place in the

the shortage Of nearly $4,000 Is made
up before the meeting of the Women's
Committee tomorrow. The committee
will receive a report of subscriptions
received during this last week of the
drive at tomorrow's meeting.
$3.50 Still Needed.
The governing board requires s92, 900
per season to operate-fguring on a
series of "a concerts; eight on Sun
days. eight on Thursdays and eight for
children. A ticket sale of $4,000 is
estimated, based on the season just
completed, and the remainder, except
for subscription holdover Of $l1, 900
from last season, must be raised by the
subscriptions. The exact amount still
needed this morning to make up the
$92, is $3.50.
II know that only echo the senti-
ments of thousands Of Washington
music lovers when I say that I hope
from the bottom of my heart that this
orchestra, after weathering so success
fully two such stressful years, will not
be forced to admit defeat just as con-
ditions generally are obviously improv-
ing" Dr. Hans Kinder, conductor OF
the orchestra, said today.
Stresses Smallness of Size.
II am sure that if the friends of the
orchestra realized the extremely critical
position that we are in, that the fund
would be quickly completed. It is not
large. If every member of the audi
ences that we played to last season
would subscribe just a modest amount,
the sustaining fund would be quickly
completed.
"If we fail, Washington will again
become the only great capital of the
civilized world without an orchestra.
And if we fail. I am afraid that it will
be q considerable time before any other
person, or group of persons, will have
the courage to attempt to organize an
other symphony orchestra In Washing
ton"
