By the Associated Press.
Only the proposed 6 per cent diff

stood today in the way of approval
by the House Naval Committee of a
bill authorizing construction Of 81
Navy auxiliary vessels totaling 22l 900
tons.
Rear Admiral Emory S. Land. chief
Of the Bureau of Construction and
Repair. said the Navy opposed the
differential and told the committee
West Coast ship-building facilities
had become obsolete.
There has been little or no build
ing on the West Coast since the war;"
Land said.
In competitive bidding the East
Coast has been able to obtain new
merchant marine and other construc-
ton by bidding lower"
Land said the question was one Of
competition, equipment organization
and experience.
1.-THE Navy Department is against
this differential." he said. "The Navy
Department believes the Navy belongs
to the country, not to any one section
Of the country.

TO REGISTER

Maj. Brown Is Studying Pro.
posaI for Protection
of Citizens.

All persons living or visiting In
Washington, who have been convicted
of a felony, would be required to reg
lister at police headquarters, under a
regulation now under consideration by
Police Supt. Ernest w. Brown. The
regulation would apply to persons con-
victed here or in any other part of the
country.
Whether legislation would have to
be passed by Congress. Maj, Brown is
not sure. He said today he is looking
into legal phases Of the question, with
a view to making a recommendation
to the Commissioners.
Protection Sought.
The purpose of the registration
would be to give local police means
of keeping track of criminals living
here, and to protect Washington from
an influx of criminals driven here by
similar regulations in other cities.
How many persons would come I'M
der such a registration, Maj. Brown
could not estimate. In Philadelphia,
where an ordinance requiring crimi-
mails to register has been passed re-
Gently, the number has been estimated
at about 10000, Brown explained. He
continued:
Several cities. including Philadel-
phia and Los Angeles. now have regu-
lations requiring criminals to regis
ter their address and occupation with
the police, to report any change in
address within a certain period and
to notify police when they leave the
city and return. All criminals coming
into the city are required to report to
police upon their arrival.
Failure to comply with the regula-
tons makes them subject to pen
atty and enables police to check up
on their movements.
Fears Influx of Criminals.
aside from the advantage of being
able to keep track of criminals, per-
sons who have served terms for
criminal offenses or persons who have
been convicted of such offenses, be-
lieve it will be necessary for WASH
ington to protect itself by taking &C.
ton similar to Philadelphia's. If we
don't, al the criminals who want to
evade the Philadelphia law can come
to Westinghouse two-hour trip by
train and short drive by automo-
bile-to keep from giving police there
a line on their whereabouts and
movements.
1--WE can keep track of criminals on
parole or probation and know where
they are while they are in prison. but
after they get out we lose track Of
them completely"

REDFERN MYSTERY
IS HELD UNSOLvED
Art Williams Denies Story
by NeWsman, Saying He
Does Not Know Him.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GEORGETOWN, British Guiana,
February 21.-Art Williams, American
aviator seeking Paul Redfern in the
Brazilian jungle, insisted today that
whatever befell Redfern IN his 1927
flight from Brunswick, Ga, to Rio de
Janeiro was still mystery.
Williams, the man who taught Red
fern to fly, said of his recent aerial
expedition into the interior, where
Redfern is believed by some to have
crashed and still to be alive:
I'VE made new contact with 10
new Indian villages and collected
great deal of information, and the
most that was established is that
Redfern did not land in that area"
The aviator said most Of the evil
dence he had collected consisted OF
photographs, which he indicated he
had sent to the long-lost Redfern's
father in the United States.
Denies Reporters Story.
Alfred Haired, a reporter, asserted
In the Paramaribo newspaper Banter
yesterday that he and Williams had
located Redfern, crippled and held by
Indians in village in the Tumuc-
humac Mountains, on the boundaries
between British and Dutch Guianas
and Brazil.
This account. in which Haired said
the natives treated Redfern we'll but
would not permit him to leave was
relayed by wireless to the Daily
Chronicle here.
Williams, however, denied the re-
port, asserting: Il do not know
Haired, and he most certainly did not
accompany me on my recent search.
7 took two Djukos (Surinam bush
Negroes) with me to act as interpre-
tiers, and a Red Indian who had given
us certain new evidence.
UNFORTUNATELY, however, my Djukos
learned that tribes further inland
were at war and refused to go
farther"
Williams said, II do not believe
that any one from outside has seen
Redfern. He cannot come out for
the simple reason that he cannot move
without food, and the Indians can
not bring him out, because they do
not know anywhere else but the i'm
mediate vicinity of their villages.
1.-THE Indians may be hostile, but
do not think they killed him."

LEGION WILL BACK
SAFETY MOVEMENT
State Legion Safety Com
mittee in Every Depart
ment is Planned.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 9.-Thc full
weight of The American Legion will
be thrown into the 1896 traffic safety
movement to check the slaughter on
the nations automobile highways.
With $4,000 killed and nearly 1,000,-
600 injured in motor accidents during
1885, the National Americanism Com
mission of the Legion has drafted a
vigorous program Of intensified Lc-
gion participation in the traffic
safety campaign for the coming year
to cut this appalling toll.
AS the first step the Commission has
called on the 10 continental depart
mcnts of the Legion, and OH the H.
POS posts of the Legion throughout
the country, to organize Immediately
a state Legion safety committee in
every department, and local Legion
safety committee in every community
where a Legion post exists, to sup
port activity the nationwide drive for
safer and sancr driving. Already more
than $4,000 copies of the handbook,
"Thc American Legion and the Traf-
fic Accident Problem" have been dis
trlbutcd to all the Legion posts for
the guidance of the activities of these
Legion safety committees.
The LcgiOn's traffic safety program
FOR 1896 calls for special emphasis on
the following activities:
l-Urglng state legislatures to en-
act uniform traffic laws and regula-
tons as drawn up by the National
Conference on Street and Highway
Safety.
- Promoting and encouraging
safety education in the elementary
and high schools.
3-Actively supporting state and 10
cal officials in reasonable enforce
ment of the traffic laws.
carrying on an aggressive educa-
tional campaign for adult motorists
and pedestrians by means of publica-
lions, radio, movies, bill boards and
speakers.
5-Supporting the demand for and
organizing safety engineering surveys
where they are advisable.
In all sections of the country I.e-
glon departments already are setting |
up their state safety organizations for
1886 A department safety chairman
directs all the Legion safety activities
in his state. Working under him are
the district safety chairmen who in
turn have charge of the county
groups The county groups are tho

New York, Jan. 9-Small Tales:
There was Georgie-Anne, from South
Carolina, who used to serve soft
drinks to autos drawn up in the vel
vet summer night outside the drug
store where she worked: LAS got big
town blues" Georgie-Anne used to
sing in that funny husky voice of hers.
Then Georgie-Anne inherited $500
from her aunt and forthwith made
her dream come true. She was walk
ing pop-eyed across the hall in Penn
sylvania station three weeks after the
legacy was paid.
For weeks she didn't even try to get
a job. She stopped at a moderate
priced hotel and saw the town. She
took BUSES touring Chinatown and
Greenwich Village. She went to
Grants Tomb. She waited outside
the Winter Garden one night to get
Eleanor Fowelrs autograph and once
she was positive she saw Leslie How
ard walking by through window of
a Broadway Childs.
Then Georgie-Anne met a boy. He
was not a millionaire, as she had
hoped, but he was q nice boy She
met him riding in taxi from Column
bus Circle to the pier where the Nor
mandie was supposed to dock. He
was the driver of the cab.
That was six months ago. Georgia
Anne is married now. Her husband,
who knew a political leader, has a
steadier job-as subway guard. And
she too has jOb-waitress in quick
lunch emporium in the Roaring Fort
les. A friend pointed her out to me
the other night, told me her story
which he had stumbled upon.
Are you homesick?" I asked her
when she brought my cOrned beef

fessional gambler

little Indiana town. He was the best
billiard player in the country and he

The luck continued and the roll grew.
He owns couple of third-rate prize

Mister Jacks wife is a bird-like lit

temples. They have a daughter who's

thinks Mister Jack is in "the invest
