LOND ON, July 20 UN.S0
Despite the governments decision
to abandon the ratio principle Of
naval limitation, Great Britain
still believes it is of utmost i'm.
portance" to reach an agreement
on qualitative limitations to re.
place those in the treaties expir.
ing in December, 1896.
The Marques of Londonderry,
lord privy seal and leader of the
House of Lords, so told the House
today as assurance Britain was
not plunging into unlimited naval
building as a result of the pro-
gram disclosed in today's Daily
Herald.
Explaining the governments
abandonment of the naval ratio
system of limitation, Lord London
derry said:
"The purpose is to evolve in
consultation with other powers q
system of limitation which, while
avoiding an expression in con-
tractual form of the definite re-
lationShip Of naval strength be-
tween the various naval powers,
will offer certain guarantees
against a resumption Of unre-
stricted competitive building.
"In addition to the proposal
for cumulative limitation, His
MajeSty'S government considers
it Of the utmost importance to
reach an agreement on qualita-
tive limitations to replace those

MURDER TRIAL
Lawyers Threaten to
Fight Over Picture
Of Hughes Nephew

DETROIT, July 20 QN.SO.
Verbal fireworks with threats of
fisticuffs between opposing lawyers
marked today's session of the MUIR
der trial of william Schweitzer
and his three women lures, "
charged with the holdup7slaying
of Howard Carter Dickinson, New
York lawyer.
The clash came over a police

grabbed the picture from McCrea's
hand. McCrea shouted:
Don't snap that out Of my

He added, in a lower tone so
that the jury could not hear:

FARLEY KNOWN
AS IDAH0AN'S
FRIEND
Governor Ross Sure
to Make Fight for
Senator'S Scalp
By EARL GOODWIN

Highly placed Democrats used
q very gentle manner in denying
the Monday morning story that
the Democratic National Commit
tee is going to single out Senator
William E. Borah of Idaho, for a
life-and-death political duel in the
next campaign.
Nevertheless, they deny it. Sen
ator Borah will be up for re-elec-
ton next year and his opponent
undoubtedly will be the metoric
Gov. G. Ben Ross, Democrat, who
has stepped up to frontrrank pos
sibilities in three moves. He was
pointing for Senator Borah when
he was elected governor in the
election of 1884, and there seems
to be no doubt he is out for Sen
ator Borah's scalp.
But the story that the big guns
of the Democratic campaign will
be turned on the liberal Repub-
lican, sometimes for and some
times against the New Deal, seems
to be secuted by the Democrats.
He Was One Giant
Actually, it will be found that
every time Senator Borah has
come up for reelection, there has
been a story printed that Senator
Borah was the one giant among
the entire Republican aggregation
that the Democrats were after. He
has been opposed by the Demo
Gratis, as q matter of course.
The statement that a meeting
has been held to organize a cam
paign against Senator Borah was
met today by the statement that
the Administration knows of no
such meeting. If there is any
such intention on the part OF the
Democratic National Committee,
it seems to rest with Postmaster
General Farley, chairman Of the
Democratic National Committee,
who is now out of the city on
Six.weekS vacation.
It is said, too, that Postmaster
General Farley feels rather
friendly to Senator Borah for hav'
ing voted against the resolution
by Senator Long of Louisiana, for
an investigation of Postmaster
General Farley.
However, Senate Liberals are
still sore at the way the Demo
Gratis event down the line" for
Senator Chavez in New Mexico in
his successful campaign against
the late Senator Bronson Cutting,
Senator Wheeler, of Montana, is
reported as especially sore at the
treatment received by Senator
Cutting at the hands Of the Demo
Gratis, Senator Cutting having
having been a supporter of the
New Deal in everything but the
bonus.
Political observers believe the
Administration will play ball with
the Western Liberals, to con-
siderable extent, and are not
searching for an opportunity to
attack them politically in any
conspicuous manner.

FOR STRETCH

Both Houses Speed Up
Efforts for Early
Adjournment
international News Service

A weary Congress today began
its trek down the last long legis-
lative mile toward adjournment.
The House plunged Immediately
into consideration of President
Roosevelt'S 'soak-the-saving" tax
program, final major measure Of
the session. The Senate tackled
fat caNGndar of minor bills.
Members named to work out
legislation agreeable to both
houses on five important bills
hoped to reach amicable accord
on all but one this week. The ex-
ception, the utility holding com.
pany bill, may die in conference.
Scrap Heap for Some
In addition, the House this
week will pass the notorious bill,
already passed by the Senate, and
the Senate will pass legislation
already approved by the House,
replacing the old Federal Alcohol
Control unit which went out with
the NRA.
Except for the tax bill, which
may delay adjournment because
Of ambitious plans of Senate in
surgents, the work of the present
session is all over but the shout
Ing. There are controversial
items in each of the big bills in
conference, but leaders are certain
that any sign of speedy adjourn
ment would bring an end to con-
ference pickering.
This might mean the scrapping
Of several measures held import
ant by the Administration, but
such action would not surprise
leaders.
Aug. 10 G. o. p. Aim
Senate Republicans planned a
real battle for an August 10 adj
journment, demanding approval
of a resolution providing that
Congress shut up shop and go
home on that date, offered by
Senator Hastings (R0 of Della

This was doomed to failure, be-
cause of the overwhelming Demo.
cratic majority, but. was calcu.
lated to bring some brisk verbal
fighting just the same.
Senate iI1surgent plans for an
effort to attach the Frazier Lemke
farm mortgage and the bonus bills
to the tax program remained as
concrete as ever on the surface,
but this bloc has shown un-
deniable signs of inconsistencies

Mrs. Smith told police she at,

being unfamiliar with the work
ings of the gun was unable to
make it function.
Ready Admission
Three hours after neighbors
heard the report of the shot Mrs.
Smith appeared at the State po-
lice sub-station in Laurel. She
was hysterical and readily adj
mitted shooting her husband, who
apparently died almost instantly.
States Attorney Allan Bowie,
who released Mrs. Smith on bond,
said:
II do not think this will be
q murder charge. 1t looks like
a case of manslaughter."
Preparations were being made
today to remove Smiths body to
Cumberland, Md, the home OF
his parents. Mr.. Smith, a former
soldier, had resigned from the
Maryland State police force at
the request of his wife. He had
a colorful career and was well

Wclfnre Deflclt Likely

A deficit in the public welfare department of the local budget looms, Q perusal of the financial report Of the. month of December issued last night by Superintendent N. Hadley Cox shows. Net expenses for the nine months thus far amounts to S60.803.68. There Is a balance left of $16,19G.32.
 The average expenditures for the nine months thus far has been $8,644.' If this ig maintained there will be $t0,932 neded to carry on for the next three months of the fiscal year, which would be more than $4,700 in excess of the bal- ance.
 A credit of $3.000 for aliens is expected from tho state but three similar credits have been received In other quarters of tho year and the average expenditures still res mains over $g,000 monthly so 1t is expected this credit may be need cd to kep the net expenditure to this $0,000 figure. Tho financial de- ticit Is expected to be tt least $3,- 900, and probably more.

He opposed the np- polntmcnt of another committee.
 MT Pasho shid tho dramatic so- cietieB did not come to him and talk 1t over but went to the wrong persons and that was why 1t had not been settled. He indicated they were trying to bulldoze him and the board. Francis O'Connor re- piled in q sardonic style that Pasho told him he could take his proposal or lot 1t lie. He said he thought Mr Pagho was "handing mo q pipe of peace with a tomnhawk at the end of it".

Court Ruling

The court held that 1t was and that the council had the power to lease under one city government to take effect in the future under another city government. An ex- cerpt from 1t reads: "A corporation or individual dealing. in the letting of property might find 1t of the highest importance to make a lease today to take effect months or even years hence. They might find 1t equally detrimental to be limited in their powers to anticipate the future. This is so apparent us q business proposition us to become Beif-evident. We have seen that the city council was empowered to make tho lcase in question and could delegate authority to com- mittee to negotiate its terms.

Believes It Legal

Borough Atty. Martin b. Corn < ley when asked by Mir.

He quoted from the bor- ough charter, r. 61 and 67 to the effect the board of charities will have sole control and management of the town farm and the town hall, saying this gives the board the right to lease the town hall.
 He said an exhaustive search of records of state supreme courts in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York failed to reveal any case similar to this in which q ruling hnd been handed down said one in Biddeford, Maine, tho case of the City of Bidderford vs Fred crick Yates, handed down Dec. IA, 1908 by the Maine supreme court concerned il case very similar to that of Naugatuck.
 In this case the Biddeford city council had leased an opera house in city building on May 24, 1904 to the defendant for a three-year term, expiring June 1, 1907. On Feb. 20, 1907. another city coun. cil leased the hall to Yates for c three-year term to take effect June 1, 1907 at tho expiration of the other term.
