OF JUSTICE U.S. DUTY TO LEAD WORLD FOR PEACE Coolidge Says America Must Point Way to Less Armament WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—It is the duty of America to set an example for the world in reducing armament, and to invite other nations to follow that example. Press Change Tests for Big Businessman LONDON, Feb. 23.—Conditions surrounding the challenge round to determine whether a successful business man can compete in a school boys' examination underwent revision today. The question is whether a national educator can propound seven problems in arithmetic and 18 questions on general information that a millionaire publisher cannot answer, 70 per cent effectively. George Cove president of the National Teachers' union, who criticized the questions asked his junior clerks by Lord Rothermere, the publisher, said today Rothermere had qualified his acceptance of the challenge. Rothermere's questions were asked by boys of 14. He now demands, Cove said, that Cove's questions be of the same calibre. The $25,000 originally Coolidge Says America Must Point Way to Less Armament WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—It is the duty of America to set an example for the world in reducing armament, and to invite other nations to follow that example. Pres. Coolidge declared here this afternoon, in addressing a large delegation of women attending the women's conference on national defense as peace insurance. The president's observations on armament and peace were considered peculiarly significant at this time in view of the "feelers" now out in the capitals of Europe aimed at a second international conference reducing armament. But while the president declared it the duty of this country to read the world toward more federate armament, he also declared zeal for this movement cannot be permitted to reach a point where aggression is invited upon a defenseless America and security imperilled. Abolition of the army and navy he dismissed as unworthy of serious thought. "Even the most law-abiding communities do not dismiss their police forces," he said. "No force can a great nation take the risk of leaving itself to be menaced by disorder." The president paid warm tribute to the women who composed his audience. They were advocates of a strong and militant national defense as opposed to the other convention of women here a few weeks ago who favored less armament and supported the League of Nations and World Court. Most of today's audience were delegates from women's patriotic organizations. The womanhood of Sparta has become legendary, the president said, but "our own history is proof that the women of Sparta were made of no stouter or fore loyal stuff." "We shall hardly disagree," he continued, "that peace is preferable to war." "Universal peace is an ideal to which we are all devoted. It is true we have not stopped wars, but it is also true that, there is today a more definite and widely entertained conception than ever before of the possibility to prevent war under an effective rule of war. This is the great advance. But we are compelled to recognize that national safety requires such a measure of preparedness as shall be the guaranty against aggression, without committing the nation to militarism. For the present, the most we can hope is to secure general formation that a millionaire publisher cannot answer, 70 per cent effectively. George Cove president of the National Teachers' union, who criticized the questions asked his junior clerks by Lord Rothermere, the publisher, said today Rothermere had qualified his acceptance of the challenge. Rothermere's questions were asked by boys of 14. He now demands, Cove said, that Cove's questions be of the same calibre. The $25,000 originally posted by Rothermere to charity if his grade was under 75, also has been scaled down to meet Cove's pocketbook. Cove will forfeit a much smaller amount, should Rothermere win. BLAMES GANG OF "SCIENCE BANDITS" LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23—A gang of "science bandits," seeking secret formulae of important new inventions and chemical discoveries, kidnapped Dr. Paul Hildebrant, Chicago chemical research expert, brought him to Los Angeles and robbed him of valuable blueprints and other priceless papers, according to a theory formed today by So. Cal. police officers who have started a search for the criminals. The story of the amazing crime was related yesterday at New Orleans by Dr. Hildebrant, according to word received here from the southern city. Dr. Hildebrant appealed to the New Orleans mayor for aid. It was reported he said he escaped from his captors in So. Cal., made his way to El Centro and boarded a train there which took him to New Orleans. For many months, California authorities have been receiving reports of mysterious thefts and roberies in which the formulas of important new scientific discoveries were apparently the only loot sought, Los Angeles officers said. Lately they have become convinced that a powerful nationwide organization is resonant and no questions on government formation that a millionaire publisher cannot answer, 70 per cent effectively. George Cove president of the National Teachers' union, who criticized the questions asked his junior clerks by Lord Rothermere, the publisher, said today Rothermere had qualified his acceptance of the challenge. Rothermere's questions were asked by boys of 14. He now demands, Cove said, that Cove's questions be of the same calibre. The $25,000 originally posted by Rothermere to charity if his grade was under 75, also has been scaled down to meet Cove's pocketbook. Cove will forfeit a much smaller amount, should Rothermere win.

"A country so powerful in numbers and wealth, so fortunate in its location, as our own, can and should set an example of moderation in armament, and should invite other to pursue a similar program. I do not think that we would set a good example by abolishing our army and navy."

Shipstead, Farmer-Laborite, of Minnesota in a speech in the senate this afternoon, urged the federal government to assume control and direction of this foreign financing.

N. S.) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Feb. 23. Blanche Debar Booth saw her uncle, John Wiles Booth, many years after he assassinated President Lincoln. The admission today followed that of Saturday when she pronounced true the statement that Booth died in Enid, Okla., in 1903. "He came to me at St. Louis," she said. "I thought he was an imposter even tho he recalled many incidents of our common childhood together." "But now I am convinced. His visit had aroused my suspicions. I investigated and found that it was true, that his mother, my great aunt, had seen him herself in San Francisco a year after the announcement that he had been shot to death. "This explains why the rewards totaling more than $100,000 for the capture, dead or alive, of John Wilkes Booth, were never paid to anybody." "It was in the late 80's or early 90's," Miss Booth said, "that this man came to see me, declaring that he was John Wilkes Booth. "I laughed when he was announced, for I believed the story of his death as it had been told to me. "And then he came. I sprang to my feet astounded. The man was Wilkee Booth to the life. Still I thought him an imposter. "He smiled and greeted me by name. I looked him over and laughed in his face, yet doubts assailed me." "Do you remember'—he asked me, and detailed an occurrence of our childhood together. "Of course, I remember that,' I told him, 'but how do you come to know about it?' Still I could not believe. "At this his smile faded away from him. The hands he had held out to me dropped at his sides. I thought him a clever actor even tho I denied him. He turned away, 'Perhaps it is just as well,' he said, 'but ask others of the family if what I say is not true. Mother was with me in San Francisco in 1867.'" "That was the only time, I ever saw him after his disappearance from Ford's theatre. I should like to look at the body of this man Dr. Wilson of Washington, D. C., says is preserved at Memphis, Tennessee it is the body of John Wilkes Booth." WALL STREET LUCK QUITS LT. WOOD (Copyright by Intl-News Service) SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain, Feb. 23—The mystery of the strange disappearance of Lt. Osborne Cutter Wood, son of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood will be explained today by Wood himself. "My Wall Street luck deserted me." Wood said calmly, after he had been located at the luxurious hotel Maria Cristina here. "I've danced and I know I must pay the fiddler now." Wood said he came to San Sebastian after failing in a last desperate effort at the Blairitz gambling tables to recoup his fortunes. "But, after all," Wood continued, "I've only done what thousands have done before me and what thousands will de after me. When I came to Blairitz last Tuesday I really had a firm intention of cutting out all the night life, drinking, gambling and so forth. But I remembered that when I was at Blairitz last summer, I frequently played at the Casino—mostly always with good luck—and the thought came suddenly to me that perhaps I could win once more, clean up enough to pay off all my debts and straighten out my affairs. But the fates willed otherwise and here I am." Wood confessed frankly that he was puzzled at his next step. He talked somewhat vaguely of going to New York to seek a job. The idea of going to Manila—debated by Wood some months ago—apparently has lost its appeal. Chan. Wacker of Chicago, who was Wood's host at the Villa Coublac, told of Wood's activities at Blairitz.

Iscle Shoals Bill Blow In Senate ferees must strike out all new legislation that was not in the bill when passed by the senate. The objection to the conference report was raised by Senator Norris, Rep. of Neb., on a point of order. He charked conferences with exceeding their authority and was uphold by Senator Cummins, Rep. of Iowa, presiding officer. Norris led the original fight against the bill. The senate's action was in confirming Cummins' ruling. Wood confessed frankly that he was puzzled at his next step. He talked somewhat vaguely of going to New York to seek a job. The idea of going to Manila—debated by Wood some months ago—apparently has lost its appeal. Chas. Wacker of Chicago, who was Wood's host at the Villa Coublac, told of Wood's activities at Biarritz. "Wood showed up Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock," Wacker said, "saying he was tired to death of Paris life and had come down to Biarritz for a real That night Wood proposed that we go to the Casino, but I persuaded him not to go. "Wednesday night, however, I had an engagement. Wood went to the Casino alone. He lost heavily. It was the same thing on the next night. Friday morning Wood left the Villa, saying he would return for lunch. "A few hours later a public chauffeur came for Wood's valise. I gave him the suitcase and a letter asking Wood to explain his abrupt departure without even a goodbye. Later I learned that before leaving Wood had persuaded our maid to cash a check for 5,000 francs ther father, who is a grocer." Wood was traced to San Sebastian thrue the chauffeur whom he hired at the Hotel Dupalais at Biarritz. Wood was seen frequently at the Casino in Biarritz with a well known Philadelphia woman who was recently divorced. She arrived at Biarritz two days before Wood and took a ground floor apartment in the Villa Coublac, where Wood later took up his residence in quarters on the third floor. After his trip to San Sebastian she drove over and called on Wood and was present during International News Service interview with Wood. Later she returned to Biarritz. Wood driving as far as the border with her. When Wood was asked if he knew about the warrant the police said had been issued for him he shrugged his shoulders and sald: "That's done. I know I can't return to France. There's no use discussing it," and he repeated, "I have danced, now I must pay the fiddler." Two other new wells completed but not brought in on the Graham-Loftis lease some two weeks ago at around 5500 and 4800 feet, respectively, are said to have met water trouble. OFFER PRIZES IN LETTER CONTEST The Anaheim City club will offer prizes for the best letters written to friends or relatives or newspapers, particularly in the mid-west. In the campaign to counteract the vicious propaganda that has been directed against So. Calif. Full details of these awards will be announced later. Furthermore, all of the letters entered in the contest will be entered also in the $3000 prize contest being conducted by the Los Angeles Times. These letters should be imperial, but friendly, and should describe So. Calif. at its best without exaggerating. Many midwesterners know nothing of the wonderful variety of California's climate, flora and fauna, the juxtaposition of mountain and sea and orange groves, etc. Those who aren't actually competing in this contest and one of the Times are asked to write letters anyhow in order to help the south and incidentally themselves. BOTTLE, TOSSED AT ROCK, MISSES MARK Bill Prieson, arrested by Motorcycle Officer Looney on the charge of possession of liquor, was arraigned this morning in Judge Kuchot's court, pleaded guilty and was fined $100. H. J. Sweet, A. H. Bailey and L. H. Bodds were with him when arrested, but Prieson took the blame. Sweet was fined $25 on the charge of speeding. Looney arrested four on So. Los Angeles-st about 5 p.m., yesterday. He was chasing them for speeding, and did not suspect them of having liquor but when he drew alongside a bottle was tossed at a rock. The bottle missed the rock and hit on soft ground. It wasn't but a few seconds until Looney was on top of it. He took the whole bunch to jail on a possession charge.

Feb. 23.—The department of justice has embarked upon a ticklish course of investigation and procedure that is giving congress a case of shivers. CROWD SEES LIGHTWEIGHT CONTEST RINGSIDE, Recreation Park, San Francisco, Feb. 23—A bright, warm sun greeted Joe Benjamin and Jack Silver as they entered the ring this afternoon in the first contest of an elimination series, to determine a successor to the lightweight championship, recently vacated by Benny Leonard. Dark clouds that hung ominously in the sky during the forenoon were entirely dissipated and regular baseball weather greeted the crowd, making top coats unnecessary. A brass band in the bleachers lent enjoyment to the occasion by playing "It Ain't Going to Rain No More." The crowd was arriving in fairly rapid order and a FULLERTON GEM STORE ROBBED The Stallmeyer Jewelry Store, 112 No. Spadra-rd., Fullerton, was burglarized of two diamond rings valued at $800, according to report to Fullerton police. The burglars were Mexicans answering same descriptions as two men who recently burglarized the Dutton Jewelry Store on E. Senter-st, Anaheim. They operated in the same manner, making a sami payment on another article, and then making away with the diamonds when the jeweler's eyes were not on them. They are also reported to have attempted the same coup at the La Habra Jewelry Store, but were called back and accused. They returned the stolen articles there, and jumped into a car Charge Statesmen Used Influence to Obtain Federal Concessions WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—The department of justice has emarked upon a ticklish course of investigation and procedure that is giving congress a case of shivers. With one U. S. Sen, Burton K. Wheeler, Dem. of Mont., already under indictment in Montana, and proceedings being pushed against him before a federal grand jury for reindictment here in Washington, it became known today that the activities of a number of other senators are under scrutiny—among them Senator Spencer, Rep. of Mo., and Senator Bursum, Rep. of New Mexc. The indictments in each instance have the same background—that they used their influence before government departments to obtain concessions and government action in return for which they received lawyers' fees. The Wheeler case: He stands accused of seeking from the interior department public lands concessions on behalf of a constituent client from whom he received a fee for his services. In the case of Spencer, it is charged that he has been instrumental in securing for the Foulke Fur Co. of St. Louis an excessive monopoly in handling government sealskins, while his law firm in St. Louis acts as attorneys for the company. In a speech on the Senate floor defending the seal contract at a time when it was under attack, Spencer admitted his law firm had received fees amounting to $80,000. As a member of the firm, he shared in this. Bursum's case is similar. Charges have been made that Bursum represented the Agricultural and Livestock Corp. of New Mexico, in a cattle deal, under which he was to receive $2 a head at the same time he was dickering with the war finance corporation in Washington to accept the security under which the sale was to have been made. Both the Spencer and Bursum cases are under investigation by the department of justice and if the evidence warrants, it was said at the department today, grand jury action will be taken. The senate is vitally interested in these proceedings and so is the house, for more than 60 per cent of the members of both houses are lawyers, who themselves have been confronted with the problem of deciding where duty to a constituent ends, and interest as a lawyer begins. The statutes prohibit a member of congress from acting as a paid attorney before government action. the ring this afternoon in the first contest of an elimination series, to determine a successor to the lightweight championship, recently vacated by Benny Leonard. Dark clouds that hung ominously in the sky during the foreonow were entirely dissipated and regular baseball weather greeted the crowd, making top coats unnecessary. A brass band in the bleachers lent enjoyment to the occasion by playing "It Ain't Going to Rain No More." The crowd was arriving in fairly rapid order and a huge jam milled about the entrances. The bleachers and grandstand were well filled ten minutes before the first preliminary was to start, and the reserved sections showed only few empty seats. At 2 p.m. it was estimated 15,000 persons within the park, not a few of whom were women. It was announced from the ring that owing to the huge jam still outside the gates, the first preliminary would be started at 2:15 p.m. instead of 2 p.m. Jack Silver, accompanied by his manager, Hatch Hutchinson, arrived at the park shortly after 2 o'clock. There was wild applause as some of the fans recognized Silver striding across the center field toward the clubhouse. Among the early arrivals was Jimmy Duffy, welterweight champion. Johnny Dempsey, brother of Champion Jack, also came in for a "hand" from the crowd when he put in an appearance. Johnny Buff, Jersey City, former bantamweight champion, and Frankie Novey of Sacramento fought the first preliminary. They went four rounds to a draw. Buff seemed to have an edge in the first three rounds, using a straight left to the face. Novey made a last round spurt, however, which caught the eye of the referee. There were plenty of blood spilled during the short go. When the first preliminary started, the park was practically filled to capacity. Damon Runyan, well known eastern fight critic and one of the fathers of the nuggetial elimination idea, was at the ringside. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23. Prospects today were that the Jack Silver-Joe Banjamin 10-(Continued on Page Two) The burgars were Mexicans answering same descriptions as two men who recently burglarized the Dutton Jewelry Store on E. Senter-st., Anaheim. They operated in the same manner, making a samil payment on another article, and then making away with the diamonds when the jeweler's eyes were not on them. They are also reported to have attempted the same coup at the La Habra Jewelry Store, but were called back and accused. They returned the stolen articles there, and jumped into a car and got away before an officer could be summoned. Mexicans answering to the same descriptions are also reported to have operated, recently at Whittier, Pomona, Colton and San Bernardino. A burglary was reported last night from the home of Mrs. H. F. Lilly of Fortleton, where robbers stole a radio set, complete with batteries, valued at $175. Entry was made through the front door. CLAIMS CONFEREES EXCEED AUTHORITY WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—Charring confesses with exceeding their authority. Senator Norris, Rep. of Neb., today demanded that the Underwood Muscle Shoals bill be returned to conference. Success of the Norris move would virtually mean the death of Muscle Shoals legislation at this session. Under a special rule, the senate was to vote not later than 3 o'clock on an appeal from the ruling of the chair, which upheld Norris' point of order that confesses had injected new legislation into the original bill. OFFER PERSONAL FUNDS FOR INQUIRY WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—Offers of personal finances to enable the house aircraft committee to continue the investigation into aircraft conditions in the army and navy came to the committee today. The committee abruptly terminated its sensational investigation Saturday, giving as the reason "lack of funds," but more reliably understood to be opposition from the White House, war and navy departments. SPENCER MAKES DENIAL WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—Senator Spencer, Rep. of Mo., in a letter to the attorney general today flatly denied that he had ever practiced before a government department in violation of law. The denial was brought forth in refutation of a charge laid before the department that Spencer, while a senator, had represented a private client before federal burans. WHEELER BEFORE JURY WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Dem. of Mont., will appear here tomorrow before the grand jury to defend himself against the charge of illegally appearing before government departments while a member of the senate. The department's interest is seeking an indictment of Wheeler on the charge in the District of Columbia having previously obtained one in Montana. ORDER ARREST OF LIEUTENANT WOOD PARIS, Feb. 23.—Directors of Bilaritz casino have sworn out a warrant for the arrest of Leontz Osborne Wood, son of Gen. Wood, governor general of the Philippines. The complaint alleges that Wood uttered a cheek for 35,000 francs on Leontz's bank when he was without sufficient funds, according to the police commissioner. 200,000 FRUIT TREES! all leading varieties; Guaranteed tree to name; Lowert prince; Full bus or Ornamentals; Orange Nursery Op.; 885 N.
