Bickerton.

For the second time in about two
months, the beating of Stuart Bicker-

Previously, the jury had refused to
indict Bickerton's alleged assailant

kins was arrested after witnesses had
identified him as the assailant. The

at the inquest, that Perkins, after
knocking Bickerton down, kicked him

VIENNA, June 21.-Otto Stein

national police organization, said to-
day evidence connecting Capt. Ivan
Poderjay with the disappearance Of
Agnes Tufverson was strengthening.

Steinhaeusl said. land we can only
accuse him Of murder when the chain
Of circumstantial evidence is closed.
For this we await from America

sons body" Vienna authorities are
convinced the 43-year-old American
woman lawyer is dead.
Woman Held Innocent.
While police were confident that
Poderjay was heavily involved in the
mystery, they expressed belief that
Susanne Ferrand, the Frenchwoman
with whom Poderjay was living here,
had no connection with 1t.
Steinhaeusl said she probably was
not guilty of anything on which ex-
tradition proceedings could be based.
A lengthy grilling of Miss Ferrand
failed to shed any light on Miss
Tufverson'S fate.
Poderjay, it was revealed, was
broke when arrested June 13 after
his travels to New York and London
and two marriages. Police said
he would have had to sell his furni-
ture to live, since he has no other
apparent income.
After stains found on Miss Tuf-
verson's trunk here proved not to be
blood, police turned to an English
man in their investigation.
They expressed belief Capt. Fred
erick Davey, with whom Miss Ferrand
was said to have lived before her mar
riage to Poderjay, would prove an
important witness.
Efforts may be made to have Scot

In Capital
War Dept. Insiders Put
Bets on Foulois'
Honesty.
BY PAUL MALLON.

THERE is hardly a man on the
inside at the War Department
who does not believe that Maj
Il Gen. Foulois was given un-
necessarily rough treatment
by the House Military Committee.
They feel generally that the case
has more behind it than a simple ef-
fort to impose justice.
For one thing, Foulois has al
sdyS acted rather independently
Utth Congressmen. He made no
effort to play politics ,Dith them,
as most Government officials do.
He eDen criticized this same House
committee once because it did try
some Iog-rolling in the selection OF
certain air field. In t1ct, he
blocked the committees efforts.
That circumstance certainly did not
encourage the committee to spare the
rod when it had chance to fay him.
See Political Justice.
More important, however, is the po-
litical aspect.
You can never make War Depart
ment officials believe that the COM
mittee rendered a free, non-political
Judgment. All the Democratic Rep
resentatives are up for reelection
this year. The failure of the Air
Corps to carry the mails will be an
issue that they must answer. The
simplest possible answer will be that
they tried to fire the fellow who over
estimated the Armys ability to carry
the mails. That clears them.
The committee is denying it was in
fluenced by such motives. 1t can
point out that the Republican COM
mittee joined in the scalping OF
Foulois, which IS true.

BRITAIN ASKS INCREASE.
Reveals Naval Demands to American
Experts.

LONDON, June 81 P).-British
experts told Americans today that
Great Britain needs bigger navy,
with more surface craft of all type,
but especially those in the lighter,
swifter category.
This suggestion was given at ses-
sion of Anglo-American technical
experts in which Great Britain out
lined her desire in statement OF
her maximum position in naval arma-
ments.
An increase In her navy, said
Britain's representative, was needed
to commensurate her growing re-
sponsioilities as q world power.
The British suggestions we're SO
detailed that the Americans merely
received them for transmission to
Washington.
It was understood Britain covered
the entire range Of its plans, includ-
ing number and size of vessels and
the power of guns.
At the same time Great Britain In"
dicated a desire for q general limita-
ton Of navies on q cooperative basis
by all powers.
The Americans, it was understood,
merely listened. American views were
not presented today, although the
United States is expected to offer sug-
gestions later.

new ships to cope eventually with the
Unexpectedly increased Italian navy.
The United States is willing to
maintain the ratios established in the
Washington and London treaties, but
faced with general increase Of naval
armaments by the principal maritime
powers, 1t must act so as not to be
placed In a position of inferiority. And
this Is another point of dissention be-
tween the British and American naval
experts. Although demanding a
larger navy, the British admiralty Is
advocating the reduction of battle
ships to $4,000 tons each. This is
their only contribution to the cause
Of naval reduction. The Navy De-
partment is opposed to this thesis for
a very good reason. The American
navy, lacking adequate naval bases,
needs large ships with great cruising
radius and experience has shown that
the 35,000-ton battleship Is the only
one to answer the defensive needs Of
the United States.
Parley Held Futile.
Under these circumstances, 1t
is becoming increasingly questionable
whether it is good policy to have an
other naval conference. These con-
ferences have one object-to reduce
the present size of navies. Since 1t i:
obvious that each maritime power viii
attend the conference with the sole
view of obtaining an increased ratio
there is no reason to get together
again.
Practical diplomats point out the
navies of the world have increased
since the London Conference, which
intended to limit them. 1t appear,
certain that they will further increase
after a new conference.
But, on the other hand, the holding
Of another meeting seems necessary
to diplomats because the London nava
agreement makes such a conference
mandatory. Consequently, they say
the signatory nations must meet again
even if they were only to adjourn

Dern Weighs Case.

DCAh NNNAShS Ss@S~s
War Secretary Dern is not particu-
lar friend of Foulois. His final judg-
ment may be accepted as partisan.
Privately, he intimated to friends, be-
| fore going over the record In detail,
that he thought the committee went
| much too far.
An impersonal opponent Of Fou-
| lois is Chief of Staff Macarthur. He
and Foulois have been conducting a
! natural inside battle between the Air
Service and the general staff about
the merits Of the Air Service IN ma
tional defense. OF course, Macarthur
can say nothing officially about the
matter, but you will find that he let
the word drop to friends not long
ago that if he had been asked
whether the Air Service could carry
the mails, he would have made the
same Affirmative response Foulols olo'
What really convinces the War
DEPARTMENT cro,Dd in tdpor OF
Foulois is the fact that the only
serious charge against him is that
he failed to tollotD the drecttons
of Congress in awarding contrdcts:
That is fundamentally true, out tt
,pas also true OF Foulots' prede-
ceSSorS.
The Army air people think they
! know how to buy planes. They ike,
| for instance, to get bombers from the
| Martins, pursuit planes from Boelng'
| etc., because each manufacturer Is a
specialist in his own particular line
. Under competitive bidding they
might get some bombers from subma-
| rine manufacturers which would per-
| form like submarines.
Overenthusiastic, Perhaps.
The only important issue involved
is whether the Air Corps officers ia
| yored certain manufacturers for less
natriotic reasons. No one believes
! thew did. The War Department group
has the utmost confidence in Foulois'
| honesty.
If there Is anything wrong with
him, they say, it is overenthusiasm
for the Army Air Corps, which Is
hardly an indictable offense.
The White House felt more harshly
toward Foulois than any one else be-
cause he failed to live up to his
promise to carry the mails.
Nevertheless, there is every reason
to expect that the White House Will
deal less harshly with Foulois than
the House committee did.
Rail Fare Cut Seen.
Those who know the inside at the
Interstate Commerce Commission be-
lieve a general reduction in railroad
passenger fares will be ordered before
long. They expect it to be a rather
strong reduction, possibly even elm
mating the Pullman surcharge.
The fiat passenger rate is now 3.6
cents a mile. The commission might
60 as far as cutting it to 2 cents.
The commissioners are supposed
to be somewhat irked because some
of the Eastern railroads refused to
cooperate on q rate reduction,
and plan to take matters in their
otDn hands.
That is why they ordered the re-
cent investigation of passenger fares.
