BRITISH NAVAL CHIEF TO DROP FROMMS POST Man Who Wrecked Coolidge Sea Limitation Parley Will Retire. BY LYLE C. WILSON, United Press Staff Correspondent! ' WASHINGTON, March 15.—Offl- : cial Washington learned with interest today the iptqt who generally is Mamed in this country for smashing form'!* President Calvin Coolidge’s 1927 naval limitations conference at Geneva had announced his intention to retire from the British house of commons. The man is W. C. Bridgeman, first lord of the admiralty, corresponding to our secretary of navy. It was Bridgeman and Hugh S. Gibson, then American minister to Switzerland, who angrily opposed each other at Geneva before the Coolidge conference adjourned in failure. Favors Big British Navy The snap judgment of official Washington today was Bridgeman’s decision not to stand again for parliament somewhat had improved the chances of eventual naval limitations agreement between London and Washington. This opinion was predicted upon the belief that Bridgeman was the ' spear point of the British “big navy’’ drive. It was considered possible here that Bridgeman may have been pettioned by tffe Baldwin ministry in Britain on the eve of a general election because of criticism in the British press of the conservative naval policy as exemplified by Bridgeman at Geneva. Contributing to this conjecture was the incident of the secret Franco-British naval agreement • which won the wrath of Washington, Berlin and Rome after it reluctantly had been published last year. Hoover Waits Stimson Bridgeman’s retirement from the commons would mean retirement from the admiralty even if the conservative party was successful in the election. It is not believed here that Bridgeman’s dropping from office will lead to United States proposals for a naval conference. Informed opinion leans to the belief that President Hoover has put naval matters out of his mind until after arrival of his secretary of state, Henry L. Stimson. What Stimson and Hoover might decide probably would depend largely upon developments at the preliminary disarmament conference i which is to meet again in Geneva on April 15.

She has used it for many years in her family. When we were growing up, she gave it to us whenever we complained of indigestion. “Since I have been married and had a home of my own, I have continued to use Black-Draught as a household medicine, and have found it very good for constipation and biliousness. “Whenever I wake up in the morning feeling dull and languid, I know' that I need something to cleanse my system. Sometimes I feel dizzy and uncertain of myself. I begin to take a pinch of BlackDraught after each meal for several days. Then I begin to feel fine agfeun. My system clears up and I have more energy. 4 T am glad to recommend BlackDraught to others, as I have found it to die a great deal of help to me.” Thedford’s Black-Draught, in yellow 25-cent packages, is a powdered herb medicine of highest quality.

TAX BOOST IS URGED IN GERMANY’S BUDGET Financial Problem Regarded as Stumbling Block to Cabinet. ty United Press BERLIN, March 15.—The German reichstag today had before it the 1929 budget, which has been considered a stumbling bock to Chancellor Hermann Mueller’s government. The budget was presented after some delay in preparing it, and pending its adoption a temporary budget, along the lines of the 1928 budget, has been used. Dr. Rudolph Hilferding, minister of finance, urged a tax increase of 379,000,000 marks (about $90,164,000) to cover additional expenses of operating the government.

storm when he went out to look for a lost mitten. Many men who took part in the hunt and were stranded at the Reeves ranch because the huge drifts of snow T would not permit them to return to Gordon and Rushville, were back in their homes today. A caterpillar tractor had plowed the twelve miles from Gordon to the Reeves place to break a path through the snow. Two hundred Indians from the Pine Ridge reservation and from Kyle, S. D. p returned to their homes when they learned the hunt was abandoned until the snow leaves the ground. For more than sixty hours scores of men had fought the snowstorm to find the boy, and at one time 500 searchers were in the party. With his older brother, Dwight, Melvin left his home to find the

HOOVER’S IAX REFUND AIRING OROERJLAUDED Publicity Will Be Given in All Cases Over $20,000. BY THOMAS L. STOKES 'United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, March 15. President Hoover’s executive order Thursday opening for public inspection all tax refunds over $20,000

and the particulars in such cases brought commendation from the independent Republican-Democratic group in congress which has fought for years for tax publicity. The fight on Secretary of Treasury Andrew Mellon has come from leaders of this group. This move may have the effect of averting the impending fight on the treasury head at the next session. Mellon issued the regulation for the publicity, but it was obvious the President was responsible for the policy, which is much broader than the legislation upon which it is based. Mellon explained the order was in line with an amendment to the deficiency bill which required only that amounts of refunds under the $75,000,000 appropriated by congress last session be made public. The Hoover order broadens the

publicity beyond this specific requirement into a permanent policy and requires in addition that facts prompting the refund be made public. Mellon, however, made it very clear that income tax payments will not be made public, and this was taken as announcement of a definite Hoover policy on this controversial issue. The independent RepublicanDemocratic group long has sought complete income tax publicity. This was voted once by congress, but subsequently repealed. Committees now can inspect tax payments under special restrictions. The fight for complete publicity probably will be carried on, but there is nd likelihood of any success.
