DAWES' SPEECH TO VOICE NAVY STAND OF O.S. Hoover Helped Draft Plea for Reductions in Warships. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Pre* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. June 18—President Herbert Hoover's plea for real reduction of the world's navies was to be carried within the shadow of the British admiralty today when Ambassador Charles G. Dawes addressed the Pilgrims' Society in London. In more than the formal sense, Dawes was speaking for the President. The speech was drafted roughly when the ambassador visited the White House a few days prior to sailing for Great Britain. The speech was expected to contain the principal arguments in behalf of reduction expressed by Hoover in his Memorial day address at Arlington national cemetery.

Critical Moment Near Observers of the international naval situation believe the critical moment in the progress toward reduction will come when the various governments permit their interpretations of Hoover’s “naval yardstick’’ to become public. The vigorous moves of the President and Henry L. Stimson, secretary of state, to keep the importance of naval reduction before the public are believed to have been dictated partly by a desire to crystalize public opinion against possible propaganda of the big navy group when technical details of reduction are discussed. It is recalled the United States places her faith in 10,000-ton cruisers armed with eight-inch guns. Great Britain prefers 6,000 ton cruisers with six-inch guns. One of the purposes of Hoover’s proposed yardstick is to determine whether these types of cruisers properly may be matched, ton for ton, or whether some disparity in tonnage would produce actual parity in naval strength. If matched ton for ton, six 10,000 ton American cruisers would equal ten British 6,000 ton cruisers—each group representing 60,000 tons. Tonnage Disparity Feared. . But there still would be disparity of guns—American guns would be of the greater caliber. It is possible, therefore, the yardstick might fix two or more British 6,000-ton vessels as the equal of one or more American 10.000-ton vessels. If a two for one ratio were fixed, there would have to be a disparity in tonnage because two British cruisers would weigh 2,000 tons more than one American cruiser. While providing for technical and actual fighting parity, the yardstick might establish a disparity in tonnage in favor of Great Britain. That big navy men might assail a settlement on that score is not overlooked by the administration. RAILROAD OFFICIALS’ CLUB HOLDS SMOKER Pennsylvania Superintendents Hear Speeches at Meeting.

Mrs. Ruth D. Pratt New York Congresswoman Is Left Estate of Nine Millions. Bn United Pres * NEW YORK. -June 18—Mrs. Ruth D. Pratt, new congresswoman from New York, had $9,152,771 added to her fortune today when a transfer tax appraisal was filed showing that her husband, who died two years ago, had walled her his entire estate. Thus Mrs. Pratt is added to the select list of congressional millionaires, which includes also Representative Ruth Hanna McCormick of Illinois, widow of Senator Joseph Medill McCormick. Mrs. Pratt's fortune is comprised principally of stocks and bonds—a total of $7,222,928. Pratt carried no life insurance. Mrs. Pratt, like Mrs. McCormick, is a Republican. She was elected from a fashionable uptown district .with a plurality of 4,200 votes over her Democratic opponent. Previously she had been a member of the New York city board of aldermen—the first woman to serve on it. She has five children.

BISHOP PLANS STUDY OF COUNTRY CHURCHES | Conditions Improved by Combining Adjoining Pastorates. Settlement of the county church problem is part of the summer program of Bishop Blake, resident bishop of the Indianapolis area. At : a meeting of bishops early in Octo- ! ber in Philadelphia definite national i recommendations will probably be 1 made. Combination of small churches I into parishes in adjoining com- | munities and actual amalgamation of several churches into one have | improved the conditions in southern I Indiana. No inter-denominational groupings have been attempted, although such action may ultimately grow out of the present movement, it was indicated.

CHANNEL PLANE FALL, FATAL TO SEVENJ’ROBED Bodies of Three of Victims Still Missing: Six Passengers Rescued. Bu Unit'd Press LONDON, June 16.—An official investigation into the cause of the crash of the airplane City of Ottawa into the English channel with a loss of seven lives, England’s worst aviation tragedy in five years, began at Dungeness today. * Officials of the British iir ministry and of the Imperial Airways, Ltd., owners of the plane, went to Dungeness late Monday to examine the plane’s wreckage, towed there by the trawler Gaby, but announced they would wait until it had been searched carefully for the three bodies still missing. The three missing bodies were those of Miss Janie BassofT, 21, vaudeville actress, who formerly lived in Baltimore, Md.; Mrs. Annie Gerzon of Amsterdam and Madame Louise Bossiger of Switzerland. Four Bodies Found The four bodies recovered were definitely identified as those of Adolphe Meister, wealthy resident of Garfield, N. J.; L. T. Malcolm, Hamilton, Ont., furniture man. and Alfred Frederick Smith of Melbourne, Australia, and Mrs. Ickerson, an English woman. Besides the pilot, Captain R. T. D. Brailly, and the mechanic, H. R. Barnett, four passengers were rescued. One was Homer Tathane, an American. The eleven passengers and two members of the crew were piled together beneath the luggage when the trans-channel plane made a heavy landing near the trawler Gaby, three miles off shore, and turned completely over. Those farthest from the front ol the plane were able to climb out and sit on top until rescued, but seven passengers were unable to reach the outside and were either killed by the force of the landing or knocked unconscious and drowned. Captain Brailly and Barnett, the : mechanic, did their utmost to prevent a catastrophe. Forced From Plane Even after the terific splash intc the channel.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ON LAST LEGS? NO! City Men Rise to Defend Pants

BY ARCH STEINEL "rpHE time has come when all good men should come to the aid of x their pants.” In offices, business houses, homes, this slogan appropriated from typewriting classes in business colleges reverberates as propaganda is purveyed throughout the city, state and nation that masculinity's last stronghold —pants—are on their last legs. The men’s dress reform party, recently organized in London, was the first trouser traitor when they urged that man ditch his dress dungarees so the flowing robes of a danenig devish.

The Bendict Arnolds of masculine garb say man should be emancipated for tight-fitting clothes and follow women in casting off unnecessaries in dress. City Men Are Agin’ It “Never! as long as there is a pant left in our system,” challenge Indianapolis men. Heading the “Me and My Pants” brigade is John L. Niblack, state senator of Marion county and attorney. “Man has been able to raise a beard, chew tobacco, and wear hon-est-to-goodness pants without fear of losing these requisites to woman, Give pants up now?—l should say not. “Just think what men would look like walking on Washington street in ‘shorties,’ showing their nobby knees, bow-legs, skinny appendages.” But, in turn, Jake the barber, sees better days for his trade in making Washington street a “Limb Lane.” “We’d be putting in special extensions on our chairs for shaving legs, or—the boys would be having windj blown bobs, personality curls,” he said. Lighter Year by Y’ear Courtland C. Cohee, tailor for thirty years in the city, has a clear view of the danger. Cohee exclaims “that men’s clothing is getting lighter in every way, day by day.” “The ideal pants for 1930 may be a cross between Sir Harry Lauger waders or pantalettes and your greatgrandmother’s big balloon bloomers.” „ Another tailor forecasting that Grecian togas, doublets of the days of “Louie the Fourteenth,” will sweep down the city’s byways. “When man wiggled into his first

Browning expected to have $6,000,000 with which to spread sweetness and light to everyone “regardless of race, creed or color,” but it seemed there weren’t many buyers when he put up real estate for auction Monday. Six parcels of real estate were withdrawn because the price was not what it should have been.

Everyone agreed it wasn’t Browning’s fault that the auction was disappointing.

"How do you do, everybody.” Joseph P. Day. the auctioneer, tell completely under the spell of the spirit of Madison Square Garden. where the men who labor to bring forth those pugilistic "battles of the century" have their offices. “This," cried Day, “is the sale of the century. Never before has a great real estate sale been held in so great an inclosed space." Then he got down to business. Browning is going to have another sale, he said, and dispose of the property that wasn't purchased Monday. Then he will use the money to establish three foundations: Foundation 1.

“I PRAISE NEW KONJOLA FOR IT ENDED MY ILLS” Indianapolis Man, Service Station Operator, Declares He Should Have Had Konjola First. “I should have had Konjola long ago; it would have saved me a world of suffering and expense.” Often that expression is heard from those happy men and women who have found in Konjola, the new and different medicine, the medicine they should have had in the first place.

MR. JASON A. HOOTEN —Photo by National Studio, Illinois Bldg. There is no secret, no magic, no mystery about Konjola. It is a scientifically blended remedy of 32 ingredients, 22 of which are the juices of roots and herbs of known medicinal worth. Each of these ingredients has a mission to perform in relieving the ills of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels and rheumatism, neuritis and nervousness. But learn the whole story of Konjola; hear its remarkable history, as it wins success after success, triumph upon triumph over cases that have resisted and defied every medicine and treatment tried. Meet the Konjola Man, who is at the Hook Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, where daily he is explaining Konjola and its merits to all who come to find out what Konjola has done. After all, sufferers are entitled to all the facts about the medicine in which they put their money, their faith and their hope for health. Profit by the experiences of others. Think over the experience of Mr. Jason A. Hocten, operator of the Hooten Service Station, 3901 Orchard avenue, Indianapolis. Just a few days ago, repoicing over his newly found health, he said to the Konjola Man: “I should have had Konjola long ago; it would have saved me a world of expense and suffering. For a long time I endured miseries from stomach trouble. In fact, I was in poor health for twenty years. My food simply refused to digest and formed a heavy mass in the pit of my stomach. Gas formed in such large quantities that I became short winded and had wild heart palpitation. I was so weak and nervous that I had to lie down three or four times a day. Nervousness resulted and constipation made matters a great deal worse. Life was just a constant round of suffering. “A friend told me about Konjolo and said that this w'as the medi* cine for me. I surely hoped for relief, but had little faith in finding it in ‘Konjola, or any medicine. In fact, I was disgusted with medicines and treatments. But Konjola Surely proved to be a different medicine. Just as I was told it would Konjola went quickly to the seat of my troubles. Constipation was speedily relieved; my digestion improved and my appetite returned. Konjola soothed and quieted my nerves and in five weeks I was like a different man. I have gained eight pounds, have more energy and strength and have been built up in general. That is why I praise Konjola.” So it goes—the same splendid story of success wherever Konjola is given the chance to prove its merits. The Konjola Man is at the Hook Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, where he is meeting the publie daily, introducing and explaining the merite of this master medicine. —Advertisement. ’ ’
