TRAIN RESERVE NAVAL UNITS ON PRIVATEJJRAFT Armed Merchant Ships May Become U. S. Sea Fighting Force Auxiliary. By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—Echoes of the G§neva arms conference failure, both official, unofficial and semi-official, continued here today. The navy department announced details of its plans for creation of a naval reserve on private American merchant vessels, whereby crews will be trained in naval maneuvers so they man armed merchant vessels. An Army and Navy Journal editorial declared that the United States did not intend to traverse the seas “only with the consent of Great Britain.” The Peoples Reconstruction League, on the other hand, hinted in a statement that large American corporations had helped to make the- conference a failure, asking, “shall profiteers force another war?” The last Congress authorized the naval reserve movement. No funds were appripriated. Announcement o| plans now is linked up with the effort of Great Britain in the conference to fix a six-inch minimum limit on guns, which was interpreted as indicating her intention to equip her merchant vessels with six-inch guns. The United States sought a limit of eight-inch guns, which are too heavy for merchant ships. The department has instructed naval district commandants to confer with owners and operators of American vessels to obtain their cooperation in organizing the new service, an effort will be made to establish it first on vessels operating from New York and San Francisco. Masters of crews will receive a course of instructions on naval tactics for their crews. PURNELL GOES ABROAD Intliana Representative Will Attend Parliamentary Session.

Murder, Mayhem, Mystery Mark Fete in Hollywood

And Actresses Find Good Reason to Quarrel as Day Is Celebrated. By United Press / HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Aug. 6. As Hollywood inhabitants paraded relics of tjie past today in celebration of the fortieth anniversary of its founding, the film capital’s natal day was also marked by two characteristic shootings, a mayhem “mystery” and a beauty controversy. The anniversary celebration’s principal event was a parade down the famous Hollywood Blvd., with old-timers driving surreys, broughams, Victorians, sulkies and phaetons drawn by horses whose “day” began to wane when moviedom first attracted attention. The shootings were both disposed of by police with little delay. In the first a verdict of homicide and suicide were returned in the deaths of Hamilton W. Mannon, film executive, and Betty Montague Gottlies, former extra. Seek Owner of Ear In the second, Irene Preston, screen actress, was jailed for having shot her husband, Capt. Igor Presnikoff, film player, through the arm. The “mystery” resulted in Hollywood polcie instituting a search for the owner of an ear. The auditory appendage was discovered near the fine arts studios. According to Captain of Detectives Edward Slaughter the ear apparently belonged to a man. He said he believed a free for all fight resulted in the mayhem. The beautification disturbance originated in Chicago, where Miss Mabelle De Witt, Hollywood beauty expert, told a national beauty convention that Hollywood motion picture stars got most of their beauty in beauty shops instead of in exercise. Stars Reply Indignantly Indignant retorts from Renee Adoree, Marie Prevost, Greta Garbo and other stars prominently mentioned in Miss De Witt’s speech were fqrthcoming. All agreed nature is the best beauty operator. They further agreed that Miss De Witt didn’t know what she "'was talking about. Lastly they suggested that Miss De Witt owed them an apology for suggesting that stories concerning their strenuous exercising are “all press agent bunk.” New Library Ready By Times Special ANDREWS, Ind., Aug. 6.—This town’s new $7,000 library will be opened Tuesday.
