WASHINGTON, April 20.
Friends of smiling young naval
lieutenant in the capital are hav-
ing lot of fun with him these
days warning him to be on his
guard when President Roosevelt
finds time TO take to the sea.
Lieut.. John Stuart Blue, son of
the late Rear Admiral Victor Blue,
chief of naval operations during a
part of the world war, will be the
presidents skipper when the
Sequoia shoves off from the
Washington navy yard over wesk-

Potomac and along Chesapeake
bay.
The presidents knowledge of
the sea and his ability as a sailor
are well known.

MIR. Roosevelt is versed in the
technique Of navigation, too. And
that's why young Blue is coming
in for kidding from his comrades.
It would be rather embarrassing,

question at him that he couldn't

An incident the other day Illus
trates this interest. At one of his
bi-weekly conferences with the
press. he took time out to show
them what he described as one of
the most humorous things he haG
observed in long time.
Holding up newspaper clip

a big ocean liner turned over al
most completely on its side. Then
with glee. he read aloud the cap
ton on the story:
"Tests on ship stabilizer found

SILVER PLAYS
GREAT ROLE in
new STANDARD
TAKES PROMINENT PLACE IN
EVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT
RECENTLY UNDERTAKEN
BY NEW ADMINISTRATION
BY j. r. BRACKET
tlIy Associated asresml

NEW YORK, April &C.. Silver,
once mans princial money metal,
has been cast by it's advocates for
an important role in both the
world and the American initiation
airy drama.
How might silver be used to
raise prices, the object of infla-
ton?
For many years before and for
awhile after the more general
adoption of the gold standard, the
value Of silver was set by law just
ais the value of gold Is defined.
When silver was abandoned by
the major nations, its value de-
cIined because the demand for il
as currency support fell.
Silver Extensive Money Base
Even today the buying power
Of more than half the worlds
population-C China, India, Mexico
and South American countries is
dependent on silver. With the
decline Of the value of silver in
gold standard countries, the trade
of these nations with gold stand
ard countries has been severely
Ecurtailed.
Silver advocates argue that 1t
declined because it required more
silver to buy from the gold stand
ard countries the money with
which to buy their products.
Thus any plan which raises the
price Of silver either by making
its money on a larger scale or by
holding it off the market is cal
culated to benefit these countries.
Linked To Debt Question
Tentative plans of the govern
ment suggest the possibility of al
lowing the debtors Of the United
States to pay part of their debts
at least in silver. This would in
volve the purchase Of huge
amounts of silver and accordingly
rise in It's price, Of benefit to
the trade of all gotI standard
countries.
Congressional advocates of sill
yer have urged the use of silver
as a basis for the money along
with gold. This would have a
theoretical effect similar to using
it for debt payments.
If the currency had a silver
backing, the government would
have to store silver just as 1t now
stores gold, The removal Of the
silver from the market would
increase its price even if legal
price were not set for it.
The proposal for the coinage of
silver at l6-to-I means that silver
would be valued 1t one-sixteenth
the value Of gold. and that the
government would buy all silver
offered and sell silver on demand
at that price, The phrase ''l6 to
IL is simply definition Of the
proposed value Of silver,
The further inflationary effect
of encouraging the use Of silver as
money would be in lowering the
value Of each unit Of money BY
increasing the amount of money.

MANY CHANGES in
POLICIES OF new
ADMINISTRATION.
IN INTERNATIONAL AS WELL
AS DOMESTIC AFFAIRS.
NEW REGIME DOES MANY
THINGS IN DIFFERENT WAY
(By BYRON PRIcE)
(Chief Of Bureau, The Assoeiated
Preas, Washington)

Nfca4s WNeMaMBtUH(
AS the Washington conferences
with foreign statesmen proceed,
it becomes more apparent daily
that American foreign policy
turned a Iong-to-be-remembered
corner on March 4. 1888.
In the international theatre, as
in domestic affairs, the new adj
ministration is attempting. funda-
mentally, to do the very things
against which the old adlninistra-
|tian set its face sternly
To understand fully what is
taking place it is necessary to
summarize briefly the difficult
ties of present world relationships:
Europe again is the acute dam
ger point toward which all eyes
are turned apprehensively. Ma
tional rivalries on that continent
are in d dangerous state Of irri-
tation. Economic warfare, COM
plicated by depression and war
debts, is raging furiously, and the
military spirit is rising. No one
knows what spark may set off q
world explosion.
Up to . certain point, the views
Of Hoover and Roosevelt about
this situation agree.
Both have looked with dread on
the possibility of another general
European war, with apparent con-
viction of the difficulty Of keeping
the United States out Of such .
conflict.
Furthermore, both have envis-
aged a world economic recovery

Ing national limitations.
But when II comes to practical
methods Of dealing with the prob

precision was that II originated in
Europe.
Although he was willing 70 help.

Mobilization could be attained only
through European initiative.

ROBERTS CASE
NEARING END in
CIRCUIT COURT
ALL EVIDENCE IN SHORTLY
AFTER 10 O'CLOCK; JURY
TO GET CASE SOMETIME
THIS AFTERNOON

The case of James Roberts,
colored, on trial for the murder of
his father, will, in all probability,
go to the jury this afternono.
All evidence was in shortly aft
err 10 o'clock this morning. The
state introduced several witnesses
who testified to finding the body
and the conditions IN the room as
to blood and the seeming attempt
to burn the bodies of Roberts and
Leroy Woods who was supposedly
Killed at the same time.
For the defense there were but
two persons called to testify.
Marion Roberts, mother Of the ac-
cused, and Dir. William Warren,
called as an expert witness who
had examined the accused as to
his physical and mental condition.
The mother testified that her
son had been throughout his child
hood weakling. subject to
seizures" Had been attacked a
number of times by epileptic fits
and shortly before the events at
Tavernier had had one of these at
tacks.
Dir. Warren stated that the de-
PENDANT was of the moronic type.
OF subnormal intelligence and an
epileptic subject. He has high
blood pressure and hardening of
the arteries. Asked by Mr.. Brooks
if he could not find 100 persons
daily on the streets of Key West
LOT practically the mental capacity,
the witness replied that he could.
At the conclusion of DIR. War
ren's testimony the state rested
and likewise the defense.
After brief rest court resum-
ed with Mr.. Brooks beginning his
argument. He was followed for
the defense by Allan B. Cleare,
Jr. After Mr.. CIeare concluded,
Mr.. Malone took up the defense
! case and continued until noon
when recess was called, until 2
o'clock this afternono.
When court resumed Mr.. Ma
| lone resumed his arguments and
was followed by Mr.. Brooks with
the closing argument.
The confession of Roberts, part
of which was yesterday admitted
in evidence by Judge Browne, was
used by both the defense and pro-
secution in the arguments. The
prosecution endeavoring to show
that the murder was done with
malice, forethought and that the
confession was made by sane
man who was not ceerced into
making il.
The defense used the text of the
confession to establish the claim
that no sane man would have
made such confession unless un.
der pressure and also to establish
the plea of self defense which, in
connection with the plea of mental
inferiority, the defense is endeav.
oring to convince the jury is the
incentive for the killing.

CONGRESS STILL
RETAINS POWER
in ALL ISSUES
RUBBER STAMP IDEA PER-
TANNING TO ROOSEVELT
GRIP IS DIscREDITED IN
VARIOUS QUARTERS
BY HERBERT PLUMMER
llIy a Hnociated PressI

Nhbt 4N"NUCtSAtCu hCSSy
WASHINGTON. April 26.
Ever since President Roosevelt
embarked on his breath-taking
course in asking that his authority
to deal with the emergency" be
broadened, a favorite topic on
Capitol Hill has been that of how
congress has been steadily signing
away its powers.
Democrats as well as republic
cans have sounded their warnings.
But despite their expressed fears.
they have gone along with the
presidents requests.
He has asked for this bill to
be passed." more than one has
said, ''and, so far as | am con-
cerned, it Shall be done"
1t is a mistaken idea, however,
for any one to believe that con-
gress has become mere rubber
stamp for the president during
these weeks since March a.
And nothing more clearly dem
onstrated this fact than Roose-
velt's sudden and dramatic sus-
pension of the gold standard.
Initiation Expected
1t has been predicted by many
in close contact with congress,
that some sort of currency infla-
ton was inevitable.
To that small but insistent
group of inflationists, who for a
long time have been advocating
this move. there have been added
slowly but surely increasing num-
bcrs. In private conversations,
and in their public utterances on
the floor of both senate and house,
the battle has gone on ineessant-
" among those Of this group.
Perhaps something would have
been done about initiation long ago
had 1t not been that nearly every
body was, in accord in the belief
that the presidents emergency
proposals should be attended to
first. Get these absolutely neces-
sar,y measures out of the way, it
was agreed, and then we will talk
about initiation.
But consideration of the sub
ject was. in the opinion of many.
being too long delayed. Sentiment
had grown tremendously. 1t was
bound to find expression.
A Bryanesquc Warning
And it came,
The narrow margin by which
the Wheeler amendment to the
farm bill, proposing the coinage of
silver at the old Bryan ratio of 16
to 1, was defeated in the senate
caused observers to sit up and
take notice. Here was something
to be reckoned with.
Then SO or so democrats of the
house, advocates Of initiation. held
rump caucus. Presumably this
caucus was to organize opposition
to stricter rules in the house pro-
posed by the leadership. Its effect
was to cause the leadership 10
abandon such plans.
The handwriting was to be seen
on the wall Mr.. Roosevelt and his
advisers did see it, and acted.
He applied an export gold en-
barge, with the implication that a
managed initiation" of the eur
rency could be expected.
Congress had shown that it was
still in the saddle.
