COOLIDGE WARNS AGAINST NEW BILLS FOR SPENDING, IN GIVING FINAL MESSAGE TO CONGRESS

Hints Veto to Block Sure Deficit If More Outlays Are Voted. FARM STAND IS TOLD Legislators Left in Doubt by Program Outlined by President. BY ROBERT MOOREFIELD United Press Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, DEC. 4.—Pres: dent Coolidge sent to Congress toda,y his final annual message, a document painting America as full peaceful and prosperous, but hint ing to legislators that a veto awai f t any new appropriations for immediate outlays. Such appropriations, he said would lead to the “unthinkable” re suit of a June 1929 deficit. Even a revolving fund in any farm relief legislation would have to b’ provided for by loans or otherwise Coolidge advised, since the treasury youjd have no money available to create the fund. At home, Coolidge said, “There is tranquillity and contentment, and the highest record of years of prosperity. While abroad, there is peace and the good will which comes from mutual understanding.” Outlines Congress Program After warning congress and the nation that America can “afford to walk humbly” and avoid becoming selfish and degenerate under the flood of prosperity, the President outlined a legislative program for the short session, some of which Ifcft legislators in doubt as to their own course of action. In it he advocated: Passage of a farm relief bill along lines he has hitherto advanced. Passage of the naval cruiser bill, now pending in the senate. Ratification of the Kellogg antiwar pact. Passage of a Boulder dam bill, equitable in its water provisions to the western states involved, but with the government removed from the electric power business therein. Passage of a Muscle Shoals bill, with elimination of the Cove creek dam proposition and without putting the government into any extensive venture into the domain gt private business. Os Boulder dam, the President said he felt warranted to recommend a measure that would protect states’ rights at the same time it discharged the essential functions of the federal government and left the electrical field to private enterprise. Muscle Shoals should not be made “a vehicle for putting the United States government indiscriminately into the private and retail field of power distribution and nitrate sales,” he added. In speaking of the erection of a Colorado river dam (commonly known as the Boulder dam project) for flood-control, irrigation and domestic water purposes, each of governmental function, the President said: Boulder Dam Views “For several years the congress has considered the erection of a dam on the Colorado river for flood control, irrigation and domestic- water purposes, all of which may properly be consideied as government functions. There would be an incidental creation of water power which could be used for generating electricity. As private enterprise can very well fill this field, there is no need for the government to go into it. “The congress will have before it the detailed report of a special board appointed to consider the engineering and economic feasibility of the project. From the short summary which I have seen of it I judge they consider the engineering problems can be met at somewhat increased cost over previous estimates.” The President said he was disposed to approve legislation granting the secretary of war authority to lease Muscle Shoals for nitrate production. Farm relief, Mr. Coolidge said, called for a concerted and determined effort of the farmers themselves to improve their condition, encouraged and assisted by wise public policy. “As emphasized in my last message, the government should assume no responsibility in normal

times for crop surplus clearly due to over-extended acreage. “The government .should aid in promoting orderly marketing and in handling surpluses clearly due to weather and seasonal conditions. “Asa beginning there should be created a Federal farm board consisting of able and expeiienced men empowered to advise producers’ associations in estabilization central agencies or stabilization corporations to handle surpluses, $o seek more economical means of merchandising, and aid the producer in securing returns according to the quality of his product. “A revolving loan fund shoulcf be provided for the the necessary financing until these agencies shall have developed means of financing their operation through regularly constituted credit institutions. “Such a bill should carry authority for raising the money, by loans or otherwise, necessary to meet the expense as the treasury has no surplus.”

500 MILLIONS TO BE SPENT BY MEW YORK Biggest City’s Budget Will Be More Than Half Billion for Year. NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—More than, a half billion dollars will be spent to operate the nation’s largest city next year.

ROCKNE’S CHILD WORSE Restless Night Follows Removal of Peanut From Lung. Du United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind., Dec. 4.—The condition of Jack Rockne, 2-year-old son of Coach Knute Rockne of the University of Notre Dame, was less favorable today.

RADICAL TARIFF SHIFTSOPPOSED Longworth Thinks Present Act Should Be Basis. BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—Modernization of the tariff law, without a complete change of all schedules, will be the aim of congress, when it reaches the revision subject, according to Nicholas Longworth, speaker of the house. He expressed the view that a complete change of all schedules would have a detrimental effect on business and that hearings on the revision, W'hich will start before the House ways and means committee Jan. 7, will develop evidence that strong changes are needed only in a few schedules. “The present tariff act has worked so well that I hope it will not be completely changed,” Longworth said. “There could not be an entire change without business being effected. . “The tariff bill when it is reported out undoubtedly will fo.low the lines of the Republican platform to protect American industry and labor.” The ways and means committee was called to meet today to decide formally on the tariff revision problem. Majority members agreed Monday, however, that hearings would start Jan. 7 and be completed before March 4. ‘FIREBUG’ IS CHARGED Fire of incendiary origin was discovered in a vacant frame building, 316 to 324 North Missouri street, at 7:30 a. m. today.

HINT HOAX IN YOUNG WIDOW’S DISAPPEARANCE Sent Postcards to Friends to Be Mailed Back to Louisville. Bu United Press LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 4.—Mrs. Ella McDowell Rogers, pretty young widow who dropped from sight here last October, may have hoaxed relatives and police and disappeared by pre-arrangement, it was learned here today. A few days before she dropped from sight, Mrs. Rogers sent several post cards tc a woman friend in Chicago with a request that they be mailed back to friends in Louisville, police learned. It also was learned that on the day the young widow disappeared, an automobile bearing an Illinois license was parked in front of her apartment during the day. Police, proceeding on the theory that Mrs. Rogers was murdered and her body cremated, had the ashes in the furnace of her apartment analyzed. The analysis failed to develop anything tangible, however. The post cards, officers said, were sent to Mrs. Louis Heck, wife of a Chicago attorney who formerly lived here. Mrs. Rogers was supposed to be in Chicago at the time the cards were mailed, but left here for the east, detectives said.

NEW DELAY ON AIRPORT SITE Further Investigation of Financing Ordered. Acquisition of a municipal airport for Indianapolis, which has been marked by one delay after another since action was started last July, today faced another setback. The citizens airport finance committee Tuesday adjourned after a three-hour session, behind locked doors, with announcement that further investigation of methods of financing the airport were to be considered. It was reported the delay was granted at the request of Mayor L. Ert Slack, in order that a department of commerce aeronautical expert may come here and advise with the committee. The committee agreed that the law is clear on the subject of a bond issue for a municipal airport, providing bonds may be issued when immediate expenditures are as high as one-tenth of one per cent of the assessed valuation, which in this case would mean a minimum expenditure of $675,000. With site 8, approved by the mayor and city council, costing less than $300,000, this would leave almost $400,000 for improving the field and providing hangars and equipment. Slack indicated plans for acquiring the site will be presented to the city council at its meeting in two weeks. PLAN BOARD WILL WEIGH NEW BUILDING Petition for 224-Apartment Structure to Be Considered.

The eight-unit apartment structure will cost about $2,000,000. Since the commission denied the permit four months ago the company has bought the property fronting on Forty-sixth street making a site 600 feet square. The building will be two stories.

‘SUCKERS’ GET 5 TO 21 YEARS FROMCOLLINS Smooth Underworld Trio Feels Heavy Hand of Law in Criminal Court. “The Satan,” “Curley” and their girl friend, “Bobby Wilson” slipped a couple of fast one past “Newt” and scattered. That is the way the description of a neat holdup and dupe game played by two men and a woman against another man whom they robbed and left in the early morning hours on a suburban road, Oct. 22, sounded in criminal court Monday afternoon. Cast of Characters The characters, of course, have real names. “The Satan” is Paul Edson, 22 years old, who Judge James A. Collins sentenced five to twenty-one, years at the state reformatory: “Curley” is Harry Hardacre, 29, out of nine days when arrested for the auto bandity job, who now faces five to twenty-one years in the state prison; “Bobby Wilson” really is Mrs. Anne Earls, mother of a small child, and “Newt” is N. Everest Newton, 701 Ya East Eleventh street, who lost about $l5O and jewelry to the trio. Newton testified “The Satan” was driving a cab on the morning of Oct. 22 when he became “his fare.” “Newt” seemed to be looking for sport so Edson took him to Mrs. Earls’ apartment where he left him with her while he went to get his own car and leave the taxi. He returned with Hardacre. Then Newton made his fatal mistake—he “showed a roll” when he gave “Bobby” $lO for her company on an auto ride for the rest of the night. He climbed in Edson’s car with her and the two men but when they got to Twenty-first street and Arlington avenue, the “gentlemen” engaged in a slight alteration which resulted in Newton being beaten and left in the roadway minus his shoes, in which he had $129, and his jewelry. Feels “Kangeroo’d” Hardacre told the court he had been in prison twice, escaping once, but that he returned “on his own.” He said he didn't want to “be kangerooed again into jail” and when Collins sentenced him he muttered something about justice. Newton’s money was returned before the trial and he left the city, but was brought back to Lebanon by an automobile firm that charged him with using one of their cars without permission to drive to New Jersey. He said Mrs. Earls promised him the money would be returned if he would leave the state and refuse to testify. Mrs. Earls and Newton were remanded to the custody of probation authorities by the court. Drummond Funeral Today MUNCIE, Ind., Dec. 4.—Funeral services were held today for H.
