HOOVER CALLS FOR PROBE OF NAVALLOBBY Seeks Facts Behind Quarter Million Complaint for Propaganda Work. BUILDERS MUST EXPLAIN Senate, Justice Department to Scrutinize Motives of All Concerned. BY KENNETH G. CRAWFORD United Pres* St ait Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—The "big navy lobby” opposing President Hoover’s naval reduction program today was about to be subjected to close scrutiny by two government agencies—the justice department and the senate naval affairs committee—to determine whether the motives of its members are patriotic or pecuniary. The two investigations were urged by President Hoover and Senator Borah (Rep., Idaho). Early this week, Borah called upon the naval affairs committee to investigate the facts behind a suit filed in New York by William B. Shearer, naval expert closely associated with the big navy group, against the Newport Ship Building Company, which is building the cruiser Houston, launched today; the Bethlehem Steel Corporation and the BrownVoveri Company, shipbuilders for $250,000 he claims is due him for propaganda services.
Statement Pointed Friday, in one of the most pointed statements which has emanated from the White House since the Roosevelt administration. Mr. Hoover called upon the three companies named in the suit for an explanation and announced he has asked the attorney-general to investigate. Chairman Hale of the senate committee previously had announced he would accept Borah's suggestion. Although both Wilson and Coolidge had occasion to fight the lobby representatives in Washington, neither struck so directly nor so hard as Mr. Hoover. “This propagandist,” the President said, referring to Shearer, ‘ has during the past few years organized zealous support for increased armament and has been a severe critic of all efforts of our government to obtain international agreement for the reduection of naval arms, which include activities at the Geneva conference. and opposition to the movement which I have initiated in the past three months. A part of this propaganda has been directed to create international distrust and hate. “I can not believe that the responsible directors of these shipbuilding corporations have been a party to these transactions as represented in this lawsuit, but their statement of the case is needed. It is due the public, it is due the government and it is due the corporations themselves.” $50,000 Part Payment The President pointed out that Shearer claims to have received $50,000 from these companies m payment for part of his services to the big navy cause. “In the meantime,” he continued. “I have directed the attorney-gen-eral to consider what action we can take. Unless the companies can show an entirely different situation from what which is purported in this suit, we are compelled to consider what measures can be proposed to free the country of such influences. “Every American has a right to express his opinion and to engage in open propaganda if he wishes, but it is obviously against the public interest for those who have financial interest in. or may be engaged in contracts for, the construction of naval vessels secretly to attempt to influence public opinion or public officials by propaganda in favor of larger armaments and attempt to defeat the efforts of the government in world limitation of such armaments or to employ persons for such purposes.” The President added that he was making this statement to prevent any “misapprehension about my determination that our present international negotiations shall not be interefered with from such sources or through such methods. Defends His Work ' NEwVoRK, Sept. 7—William B Shearer regards his work in behalf of a "big navy” as entirely ethical and is willing to appear before a congressional investigating committee to explain his stand. Shearer, who recently filed suit against three shipbuilding concerns for sums said to be due to him because of his advocacy for a big navy at the Geneva naval conference, refused to elaborate upon his statement. which said: “While I don't wish to answer questions at thus time, I would be glad to talk freely, answering any questions asked me by members of a congressional investigating committee. There is much that is unknown that I can tell about this case when the proper time arrives.” Hourly Temperatures t a. m..... 69 9 a. m 70 f. m 67 10 a. m 70 < a. m..... 69

Bv Cnited Press . TELLURIDE. Colo. Sept. 7—While ! a worry-burdened financier was! sought throughout the west today for questioning in connection with the attempted swindle of $500,000 from New York banks, his two financial institutions, to which he had devoted his life’s work, were closed and in the hands of bank examiners.

Well Cleaner Is Saved by Pa! Who Faced Similar Fate. By United Prexg OTTUMWA, la.. Sept.. 7.—Fighting for his breath against the crushing suction of quicksand which had enveloped him up to his chin, Wilkins Priest, 57, was rescued alive today from the bottom of a thirty-five-foot well in which he was trapped by a cave-in Tuesday morning. Priest barely was conscious as Red Emery, whom only a few weeks ago he had rescued from a similar fate, carried his limp body up through a tunnel which had been sunk beside the well shaft. The man’s first request was for a drink of water. He had no food or water for forty-eight hours. Dr. Leo Rater gave Priest a drink of water and promptly administered an opiate, ordering him taken to St. Joseph’s hospital. The physician postponed any examination of the injured man until they reached the hospital. He said, however, he feared Priest had suffered serious internal injuries during his forty-hour imprisonment. Several times during the night, Priest lapsed into semiconsciousness after crying out he was “going.” After-effects from the exposure and the fall of rocks in a second cave-in, which delayed rescue Friday, also was expected, Dr. Rater said. Air was forced down the shaft through a large pipe and Priest inhaled it through the crevices of rocks above him. Attempts to givethe prisoner water and food were abandoned for fear the casing of the old well might give way.

SEARCHERS EXHAUST CLEWS IN SEARCH FOR VANISHED T.A.T.AIR LINER IN WEST Desperate Efforts to Locate Missing Plane in Southwest Spurred by Aid of Lindbergh, Flying to Scene. MYSTERY STILL SHROUDS SHIPS FATE More Than Fifty Sky Cruisers Take to Air at* Dawn to Resume Systematic Attempts to Find Craft and Eight Persons. BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Press Staff Correspondent WINSLOW, Ariz., Sept. 7.—The very knowledge that Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, America’s premier aviator, was en route here, spirited the search today for the T. A. T. passenger plane which disappeared with eight persona aboard during a storm Tuesday. The man who first spanned the Atlantic was not near the center of action yet, but knowledge he probably would join the hunt some time during the day seemed to instill confidence. At dawn, Colonel Lindbergh, accompanied by his wife, took off from St. Louis on a nonstop flight here. At the same
POLICE PROBE ALLEGED ABUSE Orphan Home Head Is Charged With Beating Girls. Alleged beating of seven girls by Adolph Ziegler, superintendent of the General Protestant Orphans’ home, 1404 South tSate avenue, was investigated by police today, preparatory to a report to juvenile court authorities. Three of the girls, who claimed Ziegler knocked them down and beat them with his fists because they ate thirty-six peaches, ran away from the home to police headquarters Friday evening. They are Aline McClain, 14; Francis Gentry, 14; and Louise Dillon, 13. Other alleged victims are Marguerite Dillon, 12; Nola Chadwick, 10; Anna Messick, 9, and Genevieve Messick, 12. Ziegler, who has been superintendent of the home for thirteen years, denied the girls’ charges. During a song rehearsal Friday, he declared, the elder Dillon girl refused to sing. He sent her to bed. Then the McClain and Gentry girls mutinied, he said, and he inflicted a similar penalty on them. “After I told them they would be put to bed,” he said, “they pulled three dzoen peaches from a young tree and ate them. I slapped them. The McClain girl ran, and I slapped her before she got away. She fell down and screamed, and I slapped her again.” Miss Rhea Frantz, 25, cook at the home, said Ziegler slapped the girls, but did not knock them down or beat them.

time more than fifty planes took to the air in this district still seeking the spot where the City of San Francisco landed or crashed while en route west from Albuquerque. Except for the spur supplied by Colonel Lindbergh’s name there seemed little to cheer the searchers. The discovery of the City of San Francisco’s passengers and crew, dead or alive, seemed no closer today than when they went down somewhere in eastern Arizona or western New Mexico in Tuesday’s heavy storm. The most substantial of the clews seemed exhausted and minor tips only slightly diverted the systematic hunt, with pilots assigned to certain sections of the rough country. Reports Blow’ Up One of the most logical reports which concerned the sighting of four persons in the Hopt country northeast of Walpi, the scene of this year’s Indian snake dances, blew up just like its many predecessors. Other reports that the missing craft and seven men and one woman. Mrs. J. B. Raymond, Glendale, Cal.; A. B. McGaffey, Albuquerque, N. M..; William H. Beers, New York; Harris Livermore, Boston; N W. Campbell, Cincinnati; Chief Pilot J. B. Stone, Long Beach, Cal.; Assistant Pilot A. F,. Dietel, New Braunfels, Tex.; and Courier C. F. Canfield were found, likewise proved fruitless. When the searching planes took to the air today there seemed not one substantial lead to follow’. The general line of the hunt was slightly to the south of that followed Friday, and except for minor diversions, was below the Santa Fe right of way. Resigned to Long Hunt The planes represented practically every commercial air line and aviation unit in the southwest. Twenty-five of the twenty-seven that left here at dawn were commercial or private planes. The other two were from March field at Riverside. Thirteen other ships, aU from North island, left Kingman at daybreak. T. A. T. officials seemed resigned to a long search. While the majority of pilots and natives appeared to think that today was the last possible chance to find the City of San Francisco, line officials said that the hunt would continue indefinitely. Most of the veterans of the mountain and desert country in which the ship apparently fell believe that airplanes never will locate it. Leaves for Winslow Bu United Press ST. LOUIS, Sept. 7.—Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, accompanied by his wife, former Anne Morrow, took off from Lambert-St. Louis airport at 5:43 a. m. today for Winslow, Ariz., to join the air search for the missing air liner, City of San Francisco.

Lindbergh, accompanied by his recent bride, was flying the trans-' continental non-stop record Lock-heed-Vega monoplane owned by Captain Frank Hawkes.
