In case the senate took no final action on the treaty the secretary satd he would present a 69-ship pro gramme for construction as rapidly as possible, in order that the Unied States might not lose ground in com petitive naval building'. Last Courw Contly One. Secretary Daniels told the committee-it must choose between the three croDosals. The if '-ship programme, he said, would cost about "1195,000,000. Declaring that aircraft would never make battleships obsolete, the secre tary added that aviation was "essen tially an integral part of the fleet." Civil aviation should be entirely di vorced from the military and naval branches, he said. Included in the tentative three-year programme were 10 dreadnaughts and six battle cruisers, but Mr. Daniels added that he would ask appropria tions for the first year for only two Vattleships and one battle cruiser. In addition the programme would in clude for the three years 20 light cruisers and a large number of small er rraft. The 69 ship programme in cluded two dreadnaughts and one bat tle cruiser for prompt construction with a large programme of cruisers and auxiliaries, while his recommen dations should the United States rati fy the treaty and become a league member, would include no capital cr&ft- Plea Hade for League, Chairman Butler said later Sir Auckland Geddes. new British am bassador to the United States, had been quoted as saying- that the Brit ish" navy would not be larger than that of the United States, but Mr. Daniels said Great Britain was "en couraging its colonies to build naval vessels." Mr. Daniels insisted that he would urge construction of a much larger fleet "so long as the staus quo re n;ins." Replying to suggestions of Chair man Butler that the United States should not fear any other nation on the sea so long "as an agreement with Great Britain continued." the naval secretary said he believed only a -league of nations with Ra force strong enough to enforce its edicts could insure safety for the United jjtates.

Kerl, a wealthy attorney of Coeur d'Alene, at one time a can dldate for congressman from this state, was today disbarred from prac ticing law in the state of Idaho, by order of the state supreme court. Kerl was made a defendant some time ago in a sensational divorce trial at Coeur d'Alene. December 12, 1918, he was convicted in the federal dis trict court at Omaha, on the charge of sedition and was fined $2000. The proceedings in Idaho against him were instituted by O. O. Haga of Boise, chairman of the grievance committee of the Idaho Bar associ ation. The point made in the com plaint was that Kerl had been con victed of a crime involving moral turpitude. Kerl denied the moral turpitude but admitted his convic tion. The supreme court was unanimous in its decision. Chief Justice Morgan wrote the opinion. He held the pur pose of disbarment is not to punish the" attorney, but to protect the pub lic, and when a lawyer is convicted of a crime Involving moral turpitude his guilt or innocence is not in issue and the question the court had to de cide is, was he cenvicted? As Kerl admitted this, his disbarment fol lowed. reason was given for his decision to remain at McArthur. He had been due to arrive at San Francisco at 6 P. M. Landing Made at Red Bluff.

No RANCHER GETS LIFE TERM Huntley, Mont., Man Convicted of Murdering Wife. BILLINGS, Mont., March 6. George T. Riggs. a rancher of Huntley, Mont., today was found guilty by a jury here of murder in the first degree and was sentenced by Judge Charles D. Tay lar to a life term in the penitentiary.

Administrator of Descamps Estate! Almost Certain Beaverton Rancher Murdered. A human right arm and thigh, be longing undoubtedly to the same body. which have been picked up in Sulli van's gulch and in Kenton, were found yesterday afternoon on East Eighty- first street between Failing and Bel mont streets In Rose City" park. The arm was declared by Hector Moumal, administrator of the estate of Ernest Descamps, missing Beaver ton rancher and former proprietor of Ivorth E,nd establishment, to be very like the arm of Descamps. Mr. Moumal said that after seeing the arm there was no doubt in his mind that Descamps was the man who had apparently been the victim of brutal murder. There were no marks on it which could be used for identification. Mr. Moumal, however, said that the hair, as well as the shape and size were similar to that of Descamps. The portions of the human body were found lying in a clump of bushes by Virginia and Beatrice Win- chell. young daughters of George C. Wlnchell. 829 Eightieth street, about 3:30 yesterday afternoon. Mr. Win hell immediately notified the police station and Inspector Schulpius was dispatched to the scene. Deputy Cor oner Leo Goetsch also went out and took charge of the remains. Pieces Wrapped In The Oregonian. The pieces had been wrapped in copies of The Oregonian of February 3, being the same 'date as papers used in wrapping other pieces found. Dogs or other animals, however, had ap parently been at the bundles and had torn most of the paper away. The pieces bore evidence of having been hacked or cut apart with some dull instrument An unsuccessful ef fort had apparently been made to cut the arm at the elbow, but it still hung together by the ligaments. The arm and thigh were still well pre served. They were taken to the coroner's office. It was on Saturday, February 7, that the first remains of the body wfre found in Sullivan's gulch. Sev eral days later other portions of the body were discovered in Kenton, con cealed in some bushes. Efforts of inspectors and police to unravel the mystery have so far been without result. The left arm of Descamps had a large tattoo on the upper arm, ac cording to Mr. Moumal. Consequent ly if that member could be found the question of whether the murdered man was Descamps could be deter mined beyond question. The discovery of the hands also would possibly lead to an identification, Mr. Moumal said yesterday, as Descamps hands were particularly heavy and strong. Another Discovery Reported. The discovery of a human hand and foot along the slough south of Oaks park was reported to the police yes terday by Edgar Capell, 529 Maiden avenue, who was playing with some other boys in that vicinity. The boy said, however, that a companion kicked the remains into a hole full of water. Deputy Coroner Goetsch and In spector Schulpius went out to the place but were unable to recover the remains. The boys reported that the remains were in a bad state of decay and th. uthorities are of the opinion that they belonged to another body, the head of which was found in the vicinity a month ago. This man had apparently been a victim of drown ing, but the head was in such a bad state of decay that no identification was ever made.
