TREATY MEASURE
MMncUtvt Trvu Lttted Wlret
WASHINCiTON, Feb. 13. 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.

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.

distance off the main trail, it was
a gopher gun, having about a 6
Inch barrel and designed to shoot
