Prairie Grass Needed.
1.-THE prairies never should have
been plowed. The native grass would
have held the soil. We wouldn't be
having dust storms now"
This, in substance, is the cry of
Kansas. Attempts have been made
to get grass started, but with little
success. Only the native buffalo grass
will thrive in the hot arid region.
But, in their haste to reap the har-
vest of the world demand for wheat
farmers forgot to save seed of the
buffalo grass. Today the plant is said
to be virtually extinct. It has gone
the way of the buffalo it fed in the
days before the white man came.
Experiment stations are searching
foreign lands for grasses that might
be suited to the plains. Recently two
experts returned from Asiatic Russia
and Turkey with approximately 1900
samples, which they will try on the
prairies in the hope of finding some
that will thrive.
Another problem is that of selling"

Testimony that awards to private
yards for naval construction under the
$23a 200, 900 program financed by
p. w. A. funds were in every case
made to the lowest responsible and
satisfactory bidder" was given the
Senate Munitions Committee today by
Henry L. Roosevelt, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy.
He joined Navy officers in denying
the department had fostered or shut
its eyes to asserted collusion among
shipbuilders in offering bids.
Evidence that naval submarine
patents were placed in the hands of
a private shipbuilder able to install
them in foreign undersea craft also
was introduced. 1t had previously
bean referred to.
Cochrane Letter Cited.
1t was contained in a letter written
by Comdr. e. L. Cochrane of the Navy
which said:
THE Navy's development Of IS
years was thus handed to the Electric
Boat Co. on a silver platter on the
conviction that it was desirable to-
keep at least one commercial COM
pany in the submarine game and that
1t was obviously advantageous to the
Navy to get the best submarine pos
sible for them.
Roosevelt also described as an error
statement by L. H. Korndorff. presi-
dent Of the Federal Ship Building g.
Drydock Co. of Kearney, N. j., that
the Navy Department executive had
said the Government would get bet
ter vessels from private industry than
through Government construction"
Favors $3.50 Policy.
II am and always have been in
thorough accord with the provisions
incorporated in the Vinson -Trammell
act, which extend to each category
the requirement that the first and
each succeeding alternate vessel shall
be built in a navy yard-in other
words, the 5o150 policy" he told the
committee.
Roosevelt was called to testify be-
fore the Senate Munitions Committee
after two other Navy spokesman, Rear
Admirals Henry NJ Robinson and
Emory S. Land, had disputed testi-
mony that the department encour-
aged shipbuilders to believe building
program would be divided among them
without competitive bidding.
Among other things. the committee
wanted additional information as to
why cruiser costs jumped from approx
mately s8,000.000 to s11,500,0O0 in
1888 after public works money was
made available for shipbuilding.
Neutrality Policy Watched.

IN LYDDANE CASE
Handwriting Experts Will
Study MisSiveS Sent to
Mrs. BeaII.

Detectives investigating the Lyd-
dane murder conspiracy case today
revealed that more than so anonymous
letters received by Mrs. Josephine
Beau, said to have been one of the
intended victims in the alleged dual
murder plot, would be examined by
handwriting experts.
The letters, which were received by
the Jamestown woman during the
past three years, are now in the hands
Of Post Office officials in Washington.
They we're turned over to postal in
vestigators some time ago.
Attempts to locate the person send
ing the letters were abandoned after
a futile investigation, but will be re-
opened as a result of the Lyddane
case, postal authorities said.
Letters Annoying.
The latter declared the misSives
contained no threats of eXtortion at
temptS, but were more of an annoy
ing nature than anything else
It is held likely that the letters will
be compared with the handwriting OF

Anne Lyddane and three Washington
people are charged with conspiracy
to murder her husband, Francis S.
Iyddane, and Mrs. Beall, who named
Mrs. Lyddane correspondent in di-
vorce suit instituted several years ago
but which later was dropped.
AS another development in the case,
Willingness to permit Montgomery po-
lice to examine the bank account in
which Mrs. Lyddane is guardian was
expressed today by counsel for the
young Rockville bank secretary.
Stedman Prescott, chief counselor
for Mrs. Lyddane, said today he would
grant permission to investigators
working on the case to inspect the
record of the account at any time they
desire.
Plan to Seek Record.
Officers, baked by bank officials,
have been planning to request court
order for the record so they may de-
termine the amount of Withdrawals
and the dates on which they were
made.
I'VE have nothing to conceal Pres
colt said, Il am perfectly willing to
let police examine the records at any
time There is no necessity for them
to seek a court order to obtain this
privilege.
Police. informed of Prescott's state
ment, said they would wait until they
could confer with States Attorney
James H. Pugh before making any
attempt to inspect the account. Pugh
was not in his office this morning and
reporters seeking conference with him
we're met with the reply, He Will not
be in today"
Detective James S. McAuliffe told
newspaper men that State witnesses
and prisoners in the sensational case
have signed statements in which they
claim Mrs. Lyddane paid out money as
an advance on sums agreed upon for
the murder of her husband.
Statement by Pennsylvania.
The latest statement obtained by
police was said to have been signed
late yesterday by Irwin Borrell, 20
year-old Reading. Pa, man, who four
years ago served term in the Lorton
Reformatory for larceny of an auto
mobile in Washington.
Borrell, according to police. told
authorities that on one occasion he
drove Harry E. Thomas, held as a
State witness in the case. to Rock
vile to see a woman. He said Thomas
later told him he had obtained some
money from the woman.
Police would not disclose who the
woman was that was mentioned in
