Pershing accidentally shot Supreme Court Justice Richard P. Lydon in the face while huntin? grouse at Castle Buchanon, Loch Lomond, Scotland, recently. Woollcott, appearing on the program as the "TowA Crier,” told the radio audience he had a “news beat” and then launched into his story. Pershing and Lydon, both of whom were guests of Bernard M. Baruch, financier, were in adjoining butts, or hunting boxes. The former war commander aimed at a grouse and missed, some of the birdshot hitting Justice Lydon in the face, said Woollcott, and added the injuries were painful, but not serious. Woollcott’s story was denied by Baruch, who admitted, however, that both Pershing and Lydon were his guests at the same time. Baruch said that if Justice Lydon had betn injured in any way he certainly would have learned about it. Visit Was Month Ago fly I nit. >1 EDINBURGH, Sept. 26.—General John J.

B\) United I’ri ** WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—While the move for a general lobby investigation was at a standstill temporarily, the Shearer lobby inquiry proceeded today with the testimony of Laurence R. Wilder, New York shipbuilder, concerning his promotion of the "four-day liner” project last year.

Wilder said he had on part in the employment of William B. Shearer, naval propagandist, by American ship buildings as "an observer at the 1927 Geneva disarmament confo-ence.” Shearer was revealed as an artist by Wilder, who said the selfstyled naval expert was paid $4,550 for pictures of ships drawn by him in connection with the trans-oceanic service proposal.

ANNA GOULD'S EX-HUSBAND IS CRITICAU.Y ILL Takes Daily Ride in Rose Garden Despite Orders of Physician. BY PRINCESS ALI FAZIL United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Sept. 26.—Count Boni De Castellane, at one time the spendthrift husband of Anna Gould, and still living off the handsome allowance she provided, was declared today to be critically ill of paralysis. Boni is possessed of remarkable stamina, and, despite his doctor’s orders, he insists on a daily automobile ride through the rose gardens of the Bois De Boulogne. With his health ebbing Boni spends hours with a fortune tel.er, to whom he pays hundreds of francs. Boni’s three sons visit him daily, but there are no calls from the members of the Gould family. This would indicate the break between him and his former American wife never has been patched up since the day Boni summed up their relations: “Our eyes met; our hands met; our lips met; our lawyers met.” Anderson Gets SIOO,OOO Loan Tty Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 26 The Peoples State bank of Indianapolis has come to the rescue of Anderson municipal finances by agreeing to buy an issue of SIOO,OOO of time warrants issued against the general fund.

ECONOMY BACK < OF MOVES FOR NAVAL SLASH Nations Start to Realize That Huge Drain Must Be Halted. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER t'nitfd Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—Economy is the moving force in the present naval limitation efforts led by President Hoover and Prime Minister MacDonald. Navies are becoming too expensive and the pinch of the purse finally has come to be a greater force for world peace than the lofty aims of statesmen. British cruiser requirements will prevent the United States from reaping large economies in naval armament at once. Savings of at least $300,000,000 are likely over a period of- six years or morg. however, if the proposal to avoid replacing battleships is adopted. President Hoover had hoped to scale down materially the fifteencruiser program recently authorized, but indications today were that unless the situation changes during Prime Minister MacDonald’s visit here next week, the most that can be saved on cruiser reductions would be about $35,000,000. In view of the British insistence on fifty cruisers, President Hoover is ready to cut off not more than two of these 10,000-ton cruisers, which are to cost not to exceed $17,000,000 each. MacDonald suggests three more to be eliminated and that smaller 7.500 stonners be substituted, but this proposal would result in no additional economy. At the outset of the negotiations, President Hoover stressed the econnomies he hoped to achieve by naval ' limitation. Secretary of State Stim-

son has pointed out a cruiser costs twice the original cost of the congressional library. The navy department has a program which would cost more than a billion dollars, to be urged in event there is no cruiser a limitation. AM The big gain from cruiser tion will be the pegging of expenditures at about their present level, for the dropping of two cruisers from the program authorized earlier this year will not be felt much. On battleships, however, real economies may be effected if the replacement program authorized at the Washington conference is agreed to. A battleship costs between $35,000.000 and $40,000,000.
