DISPUTE HOLDS UP PLANS FOR NAVYjWRAM Whole Battle Cruiser Program May be Abandoned in Favor of New Type. (Hy Anaoclated Press) WASHINGTON, March 11. Possibility that the whole battle cruiser program of the navy, involving an expenditure of nearly a billioa dollars, will he abandoned in favor of a new tj-pe of cruiser battleship was indicated today by an announcement that Secretary Daniels had ordered suspension of work on the six thirty-five knot cruisers already authorized until a decision as to the future type of capital Bhip could be reached. There is a wide difference of opinion among American naval officers as to whether the slow battle Bhip and the fast crulBer should not give way in the future to a chip combining the power of one and nearly the speed of the other. Advice In Europe. Because of this fact congressional committees have deferred action on six additional cruisers until a full report of new types can be made by the department. It is to gather information for this

report that Secretary Daniels and his three chief technical advisers will sail Saturday for Europe. They will be met overseas by Admiral Benson, chief of operations, and Vice Admiral Sims, and upon their return a general conference will be held, at which a majority opinion of experienced officers will be worked out as to the types of capital ships which should be built.

J. F. Wessell, David Teeple. Earl

Bills, Merle Bowen, O. P. Nusbaum, Bert Phillips and Henry Stein are attending the ninth annual convention of the Indiana Retail Shoe association which opened at the Claypool hotel in Indianapolis Monday. O. P. Nusbaum, a director, representing the retailers, talked on shoe conditions at the session Monday afternoon. Mr. Nusbaum has also been named chairman of the nominating committee. Charles F. Wheelor of Cambridge City was named chairman of the committee on reception for the state association. Over 4C0 dealers are In attendance. More shoes are on exhibit than in any previous convention. Shoe dealers declare that returning soldiers have caused a great demand for larger shoes and wider lasts. There is little demand for the narrow English last. They say that indications for the future are that men's shoes retailing at less than 58 and women's at less than $10 may be slightly cheaper in the future but that the higher priced Fhoes will be more expensive. This is due to the demand for high-grade leather both in America and abroad. Styles in the autumn for women will favor brown and medium grays. There will be more fancy styles shown and a demand for black shoes.

Chicago Hotel Annex Destroyed by Fire (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, March 11. Half a dozen women fainted, as many others were overcome by smoke and these with nearly 225 men and women employes of the Morrison hotel, were assisted down fire escapes early today when fire broke out in a five story brick annex to the hotel which is used as a dormitory for the employes. The persons overcome by smoke were carried into the hotel drug store and were soon revived. All gueBts at the hotel, located at the eoutheast corner of Clark and Madison 6treets were aroused and notified to leave the structure, as a precautionary measure. The fire did not reach the hotel proper, however, being confined to the annex on the Clark street side. The fourth and fifth floors were burned before the blaze was brought under control. The damago was estimated at $50,000. There were fifteen hundred guests in the hotel, of which number about five hundred left the building. A report that two maids were missing led to a search of the burned annex as soon as the firemen could enter the structure but no bodies were found.

Defendant in Mock Trial Found Guilty Richard Taylor was the defendant in a mock trial held at the high school Monday evening. The defendant was charged by the state with "stealing chickens." Witnesses for the defendant were Rudolph Koehrlng, Clarence Curlin, Pauline Smith and Frank Taylor, brother of the defendant.

The argument of the prosecuting

attorney was strong and forceful. The jury was out ten minutes. It returned a verdict of guilty. The defendant, who throughout the trial, showed the strain of attacks made against him, was sentenced to two to fourteen years Imprisonment. Paul Lichtenfels, counsel for the defense, made an appealing argument for his client

The federal vocational board cooperating with the home service department of the American Red CrosB is taking active stepB toward fitting disabled Wayne county soldiers and Bailors who are unable to resume their former work, to enter into new lines of work. Win J, McKeown, of Anderson, who has charge of this work in the Lake Division, and who was In Richmond a few weeks ago In its interest, will return again on Wednesday of this week to meet and consult with any Wayne county boya who have been disabled while in the service. Mr. McKeown will be found between 9:15 and 3:30 .o'clock tomorrow at the Red Cross headquarters in the Masonic temple. In order that every disabled service

man who Is not able to continue in the work he did before entering the service, may resume his useful citizenship, It Is urged that all such men come to the Red Cross headquarters tomorrow and cUbcuss their plans with Mr. McKeown, who takes a very active as well as authoratlve Interest in this work. Four Wayne county men have signed up for rehabilitation work. One Richmond boy Is now taking a course at Valparaiso university, and any others will be given the best training possible in any line for which they show aptitude, or have a desire to enter. One of the biggest problems lies in finding out just what the returned soldier is best fitted to do. In

many cases the examined soldier has accidentally discovered a vocation which he should, so far as natural inclinations have been concerned, have followed years before, said one of the national workers in regard to this work. "It Is strange how many men have missed their vocations altogether, and when no longer able to follow the work which they had been doing, have awakened to new inclinations which are much stronger than used in this other work. Finding one's self is a great thing at any time, but when a fellow can no longer do what he has been doing and runs across something which he can do a lot better, it is nothing Bhort of heavenly sent

good luck," he said. In this work the government works hand in hand with the Red Cross home service department in all parts of the country. The latter organization conducts a thorough investigation into all classes of disabled soldiers and reports the investigation to

the federal authorities. Then a fed

eral representative of the vocational training board for disabled soldiers, such as Mr. BcKeown, makes a per

sonal examination in order to ascertain what they are best fitted for by

nature and education. When it is decided what each service man is best fitted for, steps are taken to find that employment for him, or to place him in a school where necessary training can be secured.
