Presi dent Coolidge today signed the naval building bill calling for the construction of fifteen cruisers and one aircraft carrier. The president's approval was given In spite of the measure's clause requiring that all the ves sels be laid down by July 1, l;t t. which he had opposed. His opposi tion to this provision was based on the view that it called for expendi tures at future dates with no ad vance knowledge as to the condi tion of the treasury when they would be made. In addition to providing for the construction of the vessels, the measure calls for an International agreement establishing the rights of neutrals at sea in time of war, under an amendment sponsored by Chairman Rorah of the foreign re lations committee and Senator Reed of Missouri.

XX FINDING OF EXPLODED TRAP GUN IN TRAIL FOLLOWED BY SEARCHING INVESTIGATION Arrest of Two Men For Alleged Camp Larceny; ' In Wilson Creek Region and Warrant For Third Latest Angle of Development in Case of Missing Man. TANGIBLE EVIDENCE STILL LACKING Unexplained Dynamite Blast in Mining Tunnel Leads to Excavation on Theory Debris May Hold Corpse of Supposed Victim Many Possibilities Open for Investigation, Discovery of a recently fired act pun along the Wilson Creek trail, today led officers into the Silver Peak mining dis trict on a theory that Ike Gilbreath. who has been missing from his home at Riddle since January 26, was accidentally killed by stumbling into the loaded trap and that his body had been disposed of in an effort to avoid detection of the crime. Arthur Schroeder and Robert Sullivan are in jail, charged with larceny, and a warrant bearing the same accusation haa been issued for W, A. Brndfietd. These men have been ope rating claims in the Silver Peak vicinity and are believed by the officers to have been responsible for the placing of tha set gtin. - . The. officers stated that the larceny warrants were issued after Frank Reynolds, a neighboring miner, had identified ar- tides found in the possession of the three men, as having been stolen from his camp. The officers state that they have not established any con- nection between the three miners for whom the warrants have been issued and Gilbrenth's disappearance, but they are merely conducting nn investigation on the theory that ho might have stumbled into the set gun which was used either as a signal gun, or for the purpose of lulling deer. 1 Digging Out Tunnel. A number of men went to the claims today to clear oufi a mine tunnel in which a heavy blast is said to have been re cently discharged. It is possible, they contend, that the body of Gilbreath was carried into the tunnel and covered by means of an explosion that brought down considerable dirt from tho roof. They will also make a very thorough search of the entire district to see if they can locate any traces that might indicia the disposal of a body by any other means. District Attorney Cordon and Sheriff Jackson reported that they are preparing to make n very thorough investigation and examination into the theory that Gilbreath was killed by; the set gun, but that as yrt they have no definite evidence other than the finding of the gun, which was located by search ers this morning. They announced that they have information that there is another of these guns near the claims and possibly more and searchers have been warned to use extreme care while traveling the deer runs in that vicinity. inn gun uas found only a short distance off the main trail, it was a gopher gun, having about a 6 Inch barrel and designed to shoot a lfigau-ie shotgun shell. Such a gun, loaded with buckshot, would have power lo kill a man or large animal at a distance of IT. or 20 feet. The gun was mounted on a board and apparently was set off by means of a string fastened to trigger, the cord being stretched ', by the officers of having owned! across the trail besidp which the i the gun, but have not been sub gun was mounted.
