FEAR 80 LIVES L BIGGER AND BETTER AIR FLEET SURE Decreased Expenditures For Battleships Future Policy WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—Maintenance of a bigger and better air fleet and decreased expenditures for battleships are to be features of the future policy of the U.S. navy, it was announced officially at the White House this afternoon. President Coolidge believes that the circumnavigation of the globe. Sporting World in Mourning Today LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16.—The sporting world mourned today for two of its greatest figures—Frank Chance and Jimmy Murphy. The Peerless leader and the king of the wooden bowl were both natives of California and both were widely known in Los Angeles, where they made their homes at various times. Hundreds of men prominent in athletics and sports sent messages of consolation here to relatives of the two leaders. "Automobile Row" was practically closed here today, Murphy's many friends abandoning any attempt to transact business. At an undertaking parlor, where the body of the greatest baseball chieftain the game has ever known rested today, hundreds passed along to pay a final tribute to Frank Chance. MOVEMENT TO DEVELOPMENT OF HARBOUR URGED Committee of Fifty A County Supervisor To Hasten Work Development of Orange-coor by the board of supervillain just as soon as the work can done was voted last night by All-County Committee of Fifth meeting in the court house, committee voted also that thecial committee reports hau Decreased Expenditures For Battleships Future Policy WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—Maintenance of a bigger and better air fleet and decreased expenditures for battleships are to be features of the future policy of the U.S. navy, it was announced officially at the White House this afternoon. President Coolidge believes that the circumnavigation of the globe, by air now almost completed by American army flyers, has demonstrated conclusively that the day of the battleship is waning and that the principal arm of the national defense in future years must be the aerial units. The navy department is now engaged, officials said, in determining how much appropriations for battleship maintenance and repair could be slashed so that the money thus saved could be turned to the development of military airplanes and aircrafts. This new naval policy was made known at the White House, following a cabinet meeting in which the naval budget problems were discussed. President Coolidge was said to be determined to keep the budget for the fleet year 1925-26 small enough to roll up a surplus at the end of the year, but at the same time wanted the American navy to be developed along the most modern lines and in such a way that its effectiveness would not be impaired. This is expected to be accomplished by stressing the development of aircraft as the first line of the national defenses instead of the old battleships, which cost more to build than airplanes and more expensive to maintain. President Coolidge was said to feel that the U.S. navy is not far below the standard set by the Washington naval treaty and would not be led to believe that the navy was going to pieces until he had been convinced of such a condition after a careful survey of the entire naval establishment. Further conferences on questions of naval policy, including the budget for next year, will be held after Secretary of the Navy Wilbur arrives. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—The problem of making adequate provision for the maintenance of the U.S. navy while keeping government appropriations at the lowest possible figure came squarely before the cabinet today as Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, in answer to a summons from President Coolidge was speeding here from the Pacific coast to make a formal protest against the reductions ordered by the budget bureau in the naval estimates. President Coolidge has intervened forecibly in the naval problems as forecast by international automobiles now practically closed here today, Murphy's many friends abandoning any attempt to transact business. At an undertaking parlor, where the body of the greatest baseball chieftain the game has ever known rested today, hundreds passed along to pay a final tribute to Frank Chance. MOVEMENT TO ELECT GEN. PERSHING ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 16.—Gen. John J. Pershing, who last week was retired as chief of staff of the army, is being sought for national commander of the American Legion, now in convention here. The movement to elect General Pershing was gaining headway among the delegates today. Delegations which were planning to place his name before the convention intimated that Pershing was not adverse to resuming command of the men he led in France. The convention will elect a national commander at its closing session Friday. By that time it is expected that some definite word would be received from Pershing as to whether he would accept the office. Addresses by John J. Tigert, federal director of education, and Commander John R. Quinn of California featured this morning's session. “If education is the most fundamental element in our civilization then the Legion can be congratulated for having played a most prominent part in national state and civile betterment,” Tigert said. Tigert launched into discussion of nationalism and internationalism, and of the extremists at both ends of the questions. “Those,” he said, “who in an honest hope to promote patriotism and national progress show little regard for the welfare of other countries, open the way for criticism that they menace peace. And there are those who would have us form our national history, obscure our past achievements and cast our lot into one great maelior.” Committee of Fifty A County Supervisor To Hasten Work Development of Orange co-borbor by the board of supervisors just as soon as the work can done was voted last night by All-County Committee of Fifty meeting in the court house; committee voted also that central committee reports be turned over to the board as the result of the general committee. Four-fifths of the committee were present, including Ida Adams, Dr. Lee Deming and Schumacher of Anahaim. The report will not be taken by supervisors until Thursday at 1:30 p.m., it was brought to today, after L. P. Coburn, chief man of the harbor group, stated that the report was not in the shape to be presented. The supervisors, Thursday, will meet in a special session with the sole purpose of discussing harbor matters was indicated. Features of the special committee reports referred to follow: Finance Committee—All work of the Committee of Fifty been financed by the Board Supervisors without course public solicitation; this committee recommends that at the prime time establishment of harbor ramps be made on a bushy similar rates in effect at Los Angeles or San Diego. The committee commends that the bond issue was voted spread over three yeas. Land Committee—It receives, after careful investigation of all titles, that the boundarie lands established as the propetor of Irvine Ranch Company shall be a line run at the height o 4.4 feet above mean low sea as established by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey that same be established—the line of mean high tide over bay area.

President Coolidge has intervened forebly in the naval problems as forecast by International News Service two weeks ago in an effort to settle the controversy raging between the navy department and the budget bureau. The president's order for Wilbur to return forthwith to the capital reached the navy secretary at San Diego, and he advised the White House by telegraph that he expects to arrive here in time for Friday's cabinet meeting. Wilbur's absence, however, did not deter the cabinet from going into the naval problem at today's session. The chief question at issue is whether or not the administration should approve a reduction of approximately $90,000,000 in the naval estimates for the fiscal year 1825-26, including a cut of $10,000,000 from the sum estimated to be needed for the maintenance of the naval air fleet. The navy department feels that any fish sweeping reductions in the navy's estimates will simply mean that it cannot be maintained (Continued on Page Two) TELLS CHILDREN TO BRUSH TEETH Johnny and Mary will be told how to look after their teeth, their bodies and diet, when Miss Adelaide Price, the new school nurse, gets her work in the six grade schools organized, Miss Price, believing that prevention is preferable to cure, will give health talks directly to the pupils in the classrooms.

Center St. Tigert launched into discussion of nationalism and internationalism, and of the extremists at both ends of the questions. "Those," he said, "who in an honest hope to promote patriotism and national progress show little regard for the welfare of other countries, open the way for criticism that they menace peace. And there are those who would have us form our national history, obscure our past achievements and cast our lot into one great maelstrom of international intercourse. In this, as in most controversies, the way of hope lies between the extremes. No citizen would be worth very much in our country if he did not have some measure of the pride we call patriotism. There are some things in American life to which I believe we must hold. "We can never substitute another for the American flag.

Commander Quinn, addressing the Legion Auxiliary members today bespoke his pride in the cooperation given by the women's branch of the organization and fellow workers both in the sufferings of war and in the service of peace.

PRES. SATISFIED WITH CAMPAIGN WASHINGTON, Sept. 16—President Coolidge believes that his presidential campaign is progressing satisfactorily, it was declared officially at the White House Fire Broken Out Since Smoke Pours From Mine Entrances WKEMM7RER, Wyo., Sept. 16.—Eighty men, it is feared have lost their lives today in an explosion that rocked mine No. 5 of the Kemmerer Coal Co. at Sublet, seven miles north of here. The explosion occurred at 11 o'clock, only one blast being heard. Great clouds of heavy black smoke that continued to pour from both entrances of the mine two hours after the explosion led to the belief that fire had broken out and that the entombed men had little chance to escape with their lives if any survived the explosion. One man, a pump man, who was near the entrance when the blast let go, came out alive. The explosion tore down much of the timbering near the entrance and it was nearly three hours before rescue workers hastily gathered at the portal, weer able to make their way into the workings. According to company officials 80 men were working at the time of the explosion. First aid rescue parties were immediately rushed from here and a special train and automobiles were asked from Rock Springs with state government and volunteer workers. The mine in which the explosion occurred was considered one of the safest in Wyoming. It has furnished a large part of the coal that is used by the Union Pacific railroad. Great excitement prevailed here following the explosion. ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., Sept. 16.—The explosion is near the old Frontier mine at Kemmerer, where Aug. 14, 1923, 200 men were entombed and 98 lost their lives in the gas explosion. If there is heavy loss of life, it will be the second big mine disaster of this year in the Rocky Mountain region. The first was this summer when the Castle Gate mine cost the lives of more than 100 miners.
