NAVY SYSTEM CHAMPIONED BY COOLIDGE President Takes Issue With Rear Admiral Magruder on Criticisms. MONEY IS WELL SPENT Ctrlef Executive Is Against Reducing Number of U. S. Sea Officers. By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.—President Coolidge took issue today with Rear Admiral Thomas P. Magruder, whose criticism of the efficiency of the Navy has stirred Government circles here. Mr. Coolidge believes, it was announced at the White House, that both thA Navy and the Army are receiving sufficient appropriations to be administered efficiently; that officials at present in charge are doing well in their allotments of expenditures, and that both branches of the wax 1 service must be kept highly officered as insurance for protection. Mr. Coolidge does not believe that any set of men could spend $700,000,000 a year ("as is spent on the Army and Navy) without encountering some criticism as to disbursement. Some May Be Worth While Magruder’s articles criticising the Navy have been read by the President, and as he does not consider himself an expert on naval affairs, he does not desire to pass any criticism on the value of the rear ad~ miral’s statements. He feels that some suggestions may be helpful and worthy of investigation. He is desirous of having a first-class military establishment and wants to bring expenditures for that purpose to a reasonable amount. The country is well able to meet the present expenditures, Mr. Coolidge thinks, without feeling undue burden. It is his main desire not so much to reduce expenditures as to see that appropriated money is wisely expended?' Mr. Coolidge does not think that the Navy is over-officered, as Mag'uder charged. He thinks there ought to be a large supply of officers on hand. Enlisted men always can be obtained quickly, but it is hard to get good officers. Officers Not Misplaced The President does not think it makes much difference where the officers are stationed. Magruder charged that too many of them occupy swivel chairs in Washington. The President feels that If* there isn’t anything for Officers to flo elsewhere, it is all right for them to be in Washington, where their expenditures are less than in the field. President Coolidge, however, assumes that some of Magruder’s suggestions are worthy of careful consideration and will be so received by the Navy Department. Secretary of Navy Wilbur has ordered Magrauder to submit any plans he may have for improving the Navy. Has No Definite Plan Bu United Press PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27.—N0 plan for reorganizing the Navy Department was proposed by Rear Admiral Thomas P. Magruder, commandant of the Navy Yard here, in a recently published article.dealing with naval affairs, Magruder said today. He was asked to CQmment on a request from Secretary of the Navy Wilbur that he “immediately submit details of any plan you may have now.” “I did not propose any reorganisation plan,” Magruder said. “I merely stated my personal views, and my article was an effort to have carried out the naval policy approved by former Secretary of the Navy Denby several years ago. “I do not, of course, carry around in my pooket any definite detailed plan for Nax reorganization. If I were asked, however, and given sufficient time, I think I might, with 4 corps of expert assistants, within a 1 few months formulate some kind of plan to put into effect some of the ideas brought out in toy article." FIGHT WITH HUGE PLANE U. S. May Send Three-Motored Transport Machine to Nicaragua. Hu United Press WASHINGTON, Sept 27.—The Navy is considering sending a giant three-motored transport plane, capable of carrying ten or twelve fighting men, to Nicaragua to help in the guerilla warfare against revolutionists in the mountain and tropic fastnesses. The Navy has a Ford plane of this type here now, and three Fokkers ordered. The first of these will be delivered in three weeks.

PILOT OF BLUE COUPE SOUGHT IN DEATH CASE Material Witness Vanishes as Time Comes to Face Questioning. STATE SEARCH STARTS Widow of Slain Doctor Has Theory That Killers Are Dope Addicts.

Bu United Press HAMMONTON, N. J., Sept. 27. WHlis Beach today disappeared, coincident with arrival of three business men who authorities hoped could establish that he was near the spot where Dr. William Lilliendahl was murdered on Sept. 15. Beach sped away at dawn in his blue coupe and four hours afterward police throughout the State were notified to keep on the watch for him. The search was especially intensive in southern New Jersey, State troopers from every substation Joining in the hunt. But initial efforts to find trace of Beach, free on bail of $5,000 as a material witness, were futile. Meanwhile, the trio of prospective witnesses', James Grant and Paul Eldridge of Morrisville, Pa., and William Driver of Slackwood, N. J., waited in State police headquarters here and were shown photographs of Beach.

Saw Blue Coupe Pass “The business men,” Police Chief William Hudson of Vineland said, “told us that at about 11:15 or 11:20 of the morning of the murder they were on the Hammonton road, four miles from Hammonton, when they were forced to jam on their brakes to stop for a blue coupe emerging from the lane where Dr. Lilliendahl was killed. "The coupe driver was short and stocky, of florid complexion and had white hair. The three men who told me this story said they would know him again if they saw him.” At 7 a. m. today a party of police and State troopers called at the Beach home, which is clever, doors from the Lilliendahl residence. , • The visitors were met by Raymond Beach, the poultry fanner’s married son. Beach Goes Away “Father’s gone to Atlantic City,” he said. He gave no reason for the unexpected departure. Neighbors told the troopers that Beach had left some time before, and that he seemed “all dressed up.” The officers then raced to the home of Roy Beach, the missing man’s brother, Vho furnished the $5,000 bond last Saturdays The brother said he had not seen Willis Beach for several days. The next goal was Atlantic City. The police weht to the offices of Charles M. Phillips, attorney for both Mrs. Lilliendahl and Beach, but Phillips said he had not seen the poultry farmer. Chief Detective Harrold arrived in Atlantic City shortly before noon and announced cryptically: “I think we are closing in on a swift solution of this murder." Blames Drug Addicts. Mrs. Lilliendahl' first told a story of how two negroes had held up her and her husband, forced her to drive into the woods, and then shot,, her husband as they robbed them both. Since then Mrs. Lilliendahl has put forward a suggestion. She changed the robbery theory, to which she clung for twelve days, and now believes her husband was killed in revenge by drug addicts. The shift of motives remains compatible with her former story of an attack by "a tall negro and a short negro.”

Prince William of Sweden

Royal Guest Has Won Fame as Hunter , Author and Scientist; Will Give Lecture. The Indianapolis Times today is able to announce the visit to this city of his royal highness, Prince William of Sweden, who will lecture at the Armory on .Wednesday, Oct. 12. Prince William, who has an international reputation as a big game 'hunter and an author, will illustrate his experiences in Africa with moving pictures and photographs and deliver a lecture entitled “Hunting Big Game in Pigmy Land.” The proceeds of the lecture will be dlvlued evenly between the Camp Fire Girls and the Girl Scouts. The coming of the prince to this city Is made possible by The Times and the Swedish Society, who jointly made arrangements for the lecture and tendered the profits to the two organizations which have don 6 so much for the girls of this city.

This is the first time that any member of the reigning house of Europe has appeared for a public lecture in this city. Prince William is the second son of King Gustav V of Sweden, but has made for himself a reputation, not as a Prince, but as a scientist, author and lecturer. Because of his democratic spirit and his interest in science, he has been called the “Roosevelt of Europe,” and in manners and personality has many points of similarity to the late President. He is known for his versatility and is famed in Europe not only as a Prince, but as a poet, playwright, dramatic critic, traveler, author and scientist. Born in 1884, he was educated in Swedish universities and then began the active life that won for him a most unusual reputation for genius and ability. The.pictures which he brings are most exciting and show, among other incidents, his battle witli a charging gorilla, which he killed when lfc was within three yards of his rifle barrel. His tour of this country is arousing wide interest and The Times believed that Indianapolis was entitled to receive this distinguished visitor. On leaving here, he will spend two days In Chicago and arrangements there call for a great reception, for which leading Indiana authors have already accepted invitations to do him honor. Arrangements for the lecture are in the hands of The Times and will be announced from day to day. The event will not only combine an opportunity to welcomi a most distinguished visitor, but also to aid two most worthy enterp.-ises.

TOBACCO KING HEIR VANISHES IN NEW YORK Scion of Wealth Missing for 12 Days; Imported Car Found Along Road. GIRL LINKED WITH CASE Phone Call Asks Police to Probe ‘Murder Done in Yellow Roadster.’ By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—E. J. Reynolds, 21-year-old heir to the fortune of his father, the late R. J. Reynolds, tobacco manufacturer of Winston-Salem, N. C., has been missing for twelve days, police revealed today. He came to New York recently to attend to affairs of the Reynolds Airways. Inc., of which he was the head, and which planned a nationwide commercial airplane system. He last was seen aoout 6 a. m. Friday, Sept. 16, leaving a night club with a girl whose name was said to have been either Houston or Hueston. He had spent the earlier part of the night at Oyster Bay and points on Long Island. Car Driven Off Road Investigation revealed that at about the time he was en route from Oyster Bay to the New York night club, his handsome yellow roadster, of an expensive, imported model, was driven off the road at Chicken Point, L. 1., and subsequently was salvaged by workmen and reclaimed by John De Carlos, Reynolds cljauffeur, without comment. Detectives, piecing together the story of Reynolds’ last known day in New York, found that he had given up a cottage at Long Beach, ,N. Y., and had sent his chauffeur to put his two Negro servants on a train for Winston-Salem. Reynolds himself had joined John Graham of Winston-Salem and M. H. Davis, head of a radio specialty company, at a hotel in New York. He had cashed two cl jcks that day —one for $5,000 and one for 3700. Late in the day l\e had instructed his chauffeur to leave his car at the Mineola, L. L, railway station and with Graham had gone to the Nassau County fair at Mineola, in Graham's car. Later theey had gone to Oyster Bay and had driven to New York in the middle of the night, also in Graham’s machine. Went With Girl to Station How Reynolds’ car came to be driven from the road at Chicken Point is a mystery. About 6 a. m. Reynolds, investigators said, accompanied a girl companion to the Pennsylvania station. She went to St. Louis, they said, and since has returned to New York. \ Fram that time on nothing could be learned of Reynolds' movements. Raynolds’ absence from his usual haunts was noticed almost Immediately, detectives said. He was the financial backer of a Bfoadway musical show and the management needed money to meet the salary roll and pay theater rent. The mystery was deepened last night when Nassau County police received a telephone call from an unnamed source, urging they investigate a murder “done in a yellow roadster.” Reynolds’ car was a yellow roadster.

GRAND JURORS! SIFT DEALS BY I VANDAGRIFFT Sale of ‘Contract Units’ for Oil Well ‘Rejuvenation’ Under Probe. $24,000 IS INVOLVED State Securities Commission Investigation Called for j Questioning. jj The sale of contract “units” approximating $24,000 for “oil well rejuvenating” bjt Virgil Vandagrifft, board of works president; S. S. Wellsmere of Indianapolis, and D. S. Taylor of Kentucky, is being scrutinized by the Marion County grand jury, it was learned today, with the calling of Earl Coble, State securities commission investigator, as a witness. Coble was before the jury an hour. Prosecutor William H. Remy and Special Prosecutors Emsley W. Johnson and John W. Holtzman then into a private conference. Although subpoenas have not been issued, it is underwood that Price Howard, 4915 Park Ave.; Charles D. Lockman, 729 N. Noble St., and Frank Wood, 1809 Brookside Ave., may be called to tell what they know of the alleged “trust agreement." Promises that the “machine” would rejuvenate oil wells were made to prospective purchasers. 0 ‘Rejuvenation’ Guaranteed " ‘This machine will rejuvenate an oil well to such extent that although production has dropped to five barrels a day we can bring it back to normal,’ was a statement which induced me to buy,” said Lockman today. The units were sold at $250 each, according to Coble and no permission has been secured as required by law. “We were promised our money back,” said Lockman, “and $5 for each well treated per unit.” “I had two units, so I was to get $lO from the money received for each well treated, They .'urther to’d me that they would treat one well each day. They built one machine, I guess.” The machine, stripped of all technical description, was an electrically heated ball, lowered and raised in the shaft of the weel. Its purpose, according to promotion talk, was to heat the parafln coating on the sides and bottom of the well to such extent that oil again could flow freely. Many Units Sold Although reluctant to discuss the situation, because of the likelihood that they —ould be called to tell this story to the grand’jury. The Times has learned that between thirty-three and thirty-four units have been sold by the promoters named throughout the State. Lockman *Startes that Vandagrifft personally sold him the units for which he paid SSOO and that Vanagrifft acted as trustee for-the money secured by sale of the units. Wellsmere and Taylor acted as cotrustees with Vandagrifft, he said. “I have been advised not to discuss the matter in advance of a call before the grand Jury,” was Wood’s only comment. The “mysterious meeting” in the office o' Police Chief Worley on the eve of the conclusion of the Duvall trial, which brought caustic comment from Prosecutor Will H. Remy in cross-examination of Frank Cones, board of works member, dealt with this stock selling. Discussed Resignation The Times is in possession of authentic information which shows that Cones, Worley, Fred W. Connell, board of safety president, and others did not discuss the Duvall trial at that meeting, but conferred on the advl ability of asking Mayor Duvall to a*>k for Vandagrifft’s resignation. From reliable sources The Times learned that Cones stated that he “would refuse to serve on a boardmuclr longer where its president is under investigation.” “There are lots of other things that I don’t like, too,” a friend quoted Cones as having said in the course of rather heated remarks. •Vandagrifft’s name also was connected with the sale of “units” in the Ken-S<w Petroleum Cos., which held properties in Arkansas, as shown exclusively in The Times. Sale of these units has been stopped by the State securities commission. MANY TO PROTEST TAXES Hearings Will Be Held In TwentyNine Counties by Tax Board.
