ANY TIME Chief of Navy General Board Admits Islands "Very Vulnerable" WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—The hearings being conducted by a house committee into the condition of America's air forces, took a novel and unprecedented turn this afternoon when the committee adopted a resolution branding NO DISCRIMINATION TOKYO, Feb. 26.—The Japanese foreign office today announced that the reciprocity clause in the alien land ownership bill drafted by the government is not aimed at Americans but is merely a clause to enable the home minister to refuse the privilege of nationals of certain countries should such action be deemed advisable. As drafted the bill will allow those nationals of countries or states where Japanese may own land the right to a similar privilege in Japan. No discrimination whatsoever against any state of the United States is contemplated by Japan, the foreign office declared. NEW BRIBERY CHARGES TO RUM RUNNING ENORMOUS BUSINESS Illicit Liquor Traffic Has Reached Billion Dollar Class (Copyright 1925 by Intl. N Service.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 26—organized rum running business has reached the billion dollar class. Chief of Navy General Board Admits Islands "Very Vulnerable" WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—The hearings being conducted by a house committee into the condition of America's air forces, took a novel and unprecedented turn this afternoon when the committee adopted a resolution branding the testimony of a witness who had just left the stand as irresponsible, unreliable and intrue." The witness in question was Clifford A. Tinker, of New York, formerly an officer in the naval air service, and author of a recent magazine article charging congress with having "sold" the lives of the 34 men who died when the dirigible Roma crashed in 1921 at $412 apiece thrill failure to provide helium gas for the big ship. Tinker in his testimony assailed Gen. Mitchell savagely for various statements. The latter has made relative uniliveraft. Tinker took particular exception to testimony that the "flying general" which indicated the army and navy air services had little or nothing to show for the $432,000 appropriated by congress since the armistice and to statements that American aircraft was obsolete. “If his statement that the army air services has but 10 first class airplanes with which to meet the enemy is true,” Tinker told the committee, “then in my opinion Gen. Mitchell convicted himself out of his own mouth as incompetent, inefficient and wasteful in expenditure of government funds. Gen. Mitchell has been assistant chief of the army air service since his return from Europe. In that capacity he, above all others, has been responsible for the expenditure of funds for the procurement of aircraft.” The committee also decided this afternoon to accept the invitation of the war department to go to Fortress Monroe, Va., to witness anti-aircraft demonstrations. These probably will be staged the mid-next month. WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—The Philippines are "very vulnerable and could be taken by an enemy", Rear Admiral Hilary P. Jones, chief of the navy general board, today told the house aircraft committee. “Of course, we all realize that the Philippines could be taken by an enemy before America could get a fleet there," frankly admitted Jones. The committee previously had been told by Brig. Gen. Wm. Mitchell, assistant chief of the army air service, that the Philippines, Hawaii and other Ameri­ties would be against any state of the United States is contemplated by Japan, the foreign office declared. NEW BRIBERY CHARGES TO FACE FALL CHEYENNE, Wyo. Feb. 26.—Former Senator Atlee Pomerene, of special government oil counsel, and Martin W. Littleton, counsel for the Sinclair interests, appeared in federal court here today to contend against each other on the question of further continuance of the Teapot Dome trial, applied for by the government. In voluminous affidavits filed by government counsel some startling developments are alleged, among them being that former Secretary of the Interior Fall and his son-in-law, M. E. Everharr, were recipients of $140,500 in U.S. bonds from the Continental Bank of Puerto Colo., and the M.D. Thatcher estate of Pueblo being used in distribution of the bonds. This and many other new disclosures in connection with charges of bribery against Fall can be proven, it is alleged in affidavits, if a further continuance of two months in the trial of the Teapot Dome case is gratained. Government counsel alleges that diatory tactics and obstructions by H. S. Oeler, president of the now defunct Continental Trading Co., Ltd., his flight to South Africa and Egypt, and delays in Canadian courts have prevented taking highly important depositions in Toronto. Pomerene and Owen J. Roberts swear that testimony sought thru desired postponements is of such importance that they cannot safely proceed to trial without it. Pomerene also revealed today that the original appropriation by congress of $100,000 to be used in prosecuting the oil investigation is almost exhausted and that Pres. Coolidge will soon seek another like appropriation to continue prosecution of civil and criminal actions in the oil cases. EARL IMUS GETS 3 DAYS' NOTICE Illicit Liquor Traffic Has Reached Billion Dollar Class (Copyright 1925 by Intl. N Service.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—organized rum running business has reached the billion dollar class. Profits accruing to rum runners in the last five years exceeds $1,000,000,000, according to figures obtained from numerous official sources by International News Service today. Last year's smuggling was officially estimated to have exceeded 6,000,000 cases of licensed foreign shipowners. American dealers fully exceeded foreign shipowners American dealers fully exceeded foreign shipowners American dealers fully exceeded foreign shipowners American dealers fully exceeded foreign shipowners American dealers fully exceeded外国船 owners to avoid prosecution. According to the department of justice records, about 356 sets, many of them large sails, regularly ply in the trade between Europe and United States. These ships an average capacity of five trips annually, account for from five million to one million cases reaching the sea of the United States. Officials declared that rum runners anchor about miles off the coast and seize "over the side" for $2 case, $8 more than it costs Europe. That yields a gross fit of $56,000,000 without risk under protection of time laws and internal treaties. Operators between rum and the shore get $10 a day for safe delivery and assume big risks of the business. Is another spread of $10 be "safe landing" and the e markets of consumption the liquor goes from $50 a case. Profits of the r are also enormous. WARNS MERCHAN Philippines are very vulnerable and could be taken by an enemy," Roar Admiral Hilary P. Jones, chief of the navy general board, today told the house aircraft committee. "Of course, we all realize that the Philippines could be taken by an enemy before America could get a fleet there," frankly admitted Jones. The committee previously had been told by Brig. Gen. Wm. Mitchell, assistant chief of the army air service, that the Philippines, Hawaii and other American Pacific possessions "could be captured by Japan in two weeks." Jones reviewed the board's recent report on the relative value of battleships and aircraft in which it was held that the battleship was the dominant sea-power. "This is the mature judgment of the navy after three months of intensive study," said Jones. Jones repeated that no airplanes of a potential enemy country could fly from their home bases to attack this country. "The distance between the U.S. and foreign countries is too great," declared Jones. The American navy, in number and tonnage of capital ships, is fully up to the 5-5-3 ratio of the Washington conference, he declared. "But we are woefully weak in airplane carriers, the only other craft limited by the treaty," he said. "Do you think a 2,000 pound bomb dropped from the air would destroy a battleship," asked Rep. Prall, Democrat of New York. "It if were not an armor plating shell I think its effect would be local," replied Jones. "I do not think it would have serious effect on the motive power, the turret, or the personnel in enclosed places." "If the bombs were dropped alongside within ten feet of the ship, the effect probably would be very serious," Jones said. "We're air bombs dropped during the recent tests on the battleship Washington," inquired Prall. "Yes," answered Jones. "Two non-explosive 1400-pound armor piercing bombs. Only one hit the desk and did not go thru." Earl Imus, dean of the city engineering staff, today was given three days' notice to vacate his drafting table. It is customary to give engineers 30 days' notice. Imus entered the employ of the city in 1909 and has served continuously save for two years in France with the Army General Staff College, where he made an enviable record. He enlisted with the 116th Engineers. He has been considered one of the most competent engineers connected with any Orange-co city. Gone with Imus will be his valuable records of private work dating back to 1908 which the city has enjoyed the advantage of since Former City Manager O. E. Steward and Former City Engineer Clyde Butler withdrew with their private records. These surveys, made for citizens on his own time, have been used as basis for much of the city's engineering work. Without them, the city soon will find itself badly embarrassed, city hall attaches said today. Until they can be replaced at considerable expense the engineering department will be badly handicapped. R. P. Tompkins, who has been sidewalk inspector, has been named building inspector, it was reported today at the city hall. NAME 'Y' SECRETARY The successor of W. L. Ashleigh, "Y" secretary, may be named tomorrow night by directors. Ashleigh leaves the "Y" Saturday to take up his new duties as park superintendent to succeed E. P. Guyal.

Hudner's court, failed today. Ben Goldman, attorney for Amidor, whom Chaplin seeks to enjoin the Chaplin characterizations, politicized a forefinger at the astonished comedian and asked: "Isn't it true that escapades in the private life a screen star lessens the good will of the public toward that person?" Objections by attorneys saved KANSAS CITY, Feb.26—Chief of Police Wm. A. Shreeve announced today that the name of Joseph R.

"The case is unprecedented in the history of Indiana," Remy said. "Hence, the course of our investigation and efforts to obtain the return of the Democratic senators from Dayton is not known definitively at this time." Remy asked Atty-Gen, A. L. Gilliam for an opinion as to the proper procedure. Until this information is ready, he said. Republican members of the state will be called before the grand jury to offer testimony. DEMOCRATS DEFIANT DAYTON, Ohio, Feb. 26—Hurting defiance at their Republican colleagues, the bolting Democratic members of the Indiana State senate at noon made arrangements to go to Springfield where they will be the guests of Lieut. Gov. Harold Van Orman of Evansville, a Republican, who owns the Shawnee Hotel at Springfield. "We may be in Ohio a week yet." Sen. Chas. S. Batt of Terro Haute, one of 13 bolting Indiana senators told International News Service today. "Our places in the Indiana senate can only be filled by special elections, and I doubt whether the majority will go that far." Batt continued. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 26.—Republican leaders in the Indiana senate where all but one member of the Democratic minority "struck" to prevent action on a gerrymander measure sponsored my the Republicans, said today the matter would be placed before the Marion-co grand jury in an effort to indict the senators who fled to Ohio. Six Republican senators were to appear before the grand jury as witnesses this morning. Since the fleeing senators have committed no felony. Republican senators said they doubted if extradition from Ohio would be asked. Headed by Sen. Jos. M. Cravens, minority floor leader, 13 salons chartered a bus here late yesterday and went to Dayton. Ohio. Three more Democratic senators, who were unable to join the fleeing senators because of illness, were understood to be ready to leave for Dayton this morning. Sen. Fred M. Dickerman of Indianapolis acting as attorney for an attempt by counsel for Charles Amador, Chaplin's alleged imitator, to bring Chaplin's private life into the case now being tried in Judge John L. Hudner's court, failed today. Ben Goldman, attorney for Amador, whom Chaplin seeks to join the Chaplin characterizations, politiced a forefinger at the astonished comedian and asked: "Isn't it true that escapades in the private life a screen star lessens the good will of the public toward that person?" Objections by attorneys saved the comedian from replying to the question. Almost immediately afterwards, Attorney Goldman was stopped by the court when he started to read an article from Hollywood newsaper in an attempt to show that Chaplin's popularity was lessened. Asked by reporters as to the content of the article, Isidor Morris, another of Amador's attorneys, stated that it related to the asserted indignation of So. Calif. clubwomen in respect to Chaplin's private life. Attorney Goldman was again overruled when he attempted to ask Chaplin if a "similar character infringement case," had not been decided against him in the German courts. At one point Attorney Milliken jumped to his feet and said, "All this has no bearing on the case. The article in the film publication is incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial testimony, and false. All this is merely an attempt on the part of defendant's counsel to harass Mr. Chaplin." FLAGSHIP FLOATED WASHINGTON, Feb. 28—The U. S. S. Huron, which grounded in Malwanpay sound, Philippine Islands, yesterday afternoon, floated free under her own power at 7:30 o'clock last night.

Three more Democratic senators, who were unable to join the fleeing senators because of illness, were understood to be ready to leave for Dayton this morning. Sen. Fred M. Dickerman of Indianapolis acting as attorney for the Republican majority, said each of the Democratic senators who fled was liable to a fine of $1000 for breaking a quorum and impeding the course of the legislature. The measure which caused the minority senators to desert the Senate chamber would have transferred Lawrence-co from the Third to the Second congressional district, which the Democrats contended would assure the Republicans a majority in the latter district. An ultimatum from the Democratic members that they would withdraw from the senate until the measure was withdrawn was delivered shortly before the salons left Indiana... Republican forces are determined to press the measure to passage in view of the course taken by the Democrata; James J. Nejdj majority floor leader said today.
