Dec. 21 (AP) Immediate construction of 10 light cruisers whtch would be authorized under the Butler bill now on the house calendar is un necessary, in President Coolidge's opinion. His view, as outlined today at the White House, is that the navy's building program is ample for the present. After present construction, including that of airplane carriers .and submarines, is rom dieted he -feels it will be possible to provide funds to begin work on the cruisers without greatly increasing naval appropri ations. To an extent, at, least, the .view of the . president appeared to jibe with that of members of the liouse naval committee, which, has re ported the Butler bill to authorize a S105, 000000 appropriation.

() teries Oregon has completed to the California line."" The resolution pointed out that Oregon sometime ago completed the Pacific highway to the California line, has con structed The Dalles-Calirornia highway, has completed .the Redwood highway from Grants Pass, and also has the con struction .of the Koosevelt high way along the coast well under way, but that California has con nected only with the Pacific high way, and that, with an inferior macadam road. All of Oregon's highways leading to California are pared. Ninety five per rent of the de linquencies of children are laid at the doors of the mothers and fathers by former Judge Jacob Kanseler of Portland, for seven years In the Multnomah county court of domestic relations. Judge Kanseler spoke to the county court of domestic relations. Judge Kanseler spoke to the county Judges and commissioners at to day's session. The county courts would be; stripped of, any jurisdiction in juvenile cases, if the legislature follows out the suggestion made for the enactment of a law gov erning the. care of dependent chil dren. Judge Kanseler explained. In his address, today he frowned upon thetpresetit law which pro vides fortan appeal from any or der issued by the juvenile court. This is wrong, he contended, de claring that, the "juvenile ' court k should have the whole say in the matter of dealing with minor children. Judge Kanseler also . declared that when neglect of the comfort and care of children has been judicially established the children should be removed from the hands of the parents, but that when the parents are . found worthy, the children should remain in their care. Another law amendment sug gested by Judge Kanseler was one that would permit committing a delinquent girl to the state in dustrial school for girls until she is 21 years old. instead of 18, as the present law provides. The present law, he pointed out, makes it mandatory to release " a girl when she reaches the age of 18, while a boy cannot be released from a similar school until he is 21. The delinquent girl. Mr. Kanseler added, is not sent to the state school as a punishment, but for the protection of her welfare, and corrective work for them is just as important as for boys, he contended. Election of officers for the Association; of Judges and Com missioners today resulted in the unanimous re-election of the pres ent officers. They are: Judge Victor P. Moses, Benton county. president; Judge R. W. Sawyer- Ieschutes county, vice president; Commissioner J. E. Smith, Marion county, secretary-treasurer.

CHICAGO. Deo. 21. (AP) Five days after he beat 6-year-old Walter SHimith to death with a blacksmith's hammer in the loft of a riding club, Harold Joseph Croarkin, 26, was indicted today for murder. Since his surrender Sunday. Croarkin. the son of a wealthy family, had been held in strict seclusion without a formal charge, but today he was placed in the county Jail. Five witnesses, including the father of the dead boy. and Dr. Jacob Goodman, coroner's physic ian, appeared before the grand jury.

Turner, president of the Oregon Trunk railway, said today that the brief statement made Monday by William Sproule, presi dent of the Southern Pacific, did not give a true picture of what is happening in the central Oregon railroad extension controversy. "The reports published regard ing the Oregon Trunk railway ex tension from Bend to Klamath Falls are somewhat misleading," said President Turner. He said he believed the full facts would become known tomor row, after final session of the rival rail chiefs is held in Wash ington with the interstate com merce commission. Mr. Sproule stated, in sub stance, that the Southern Pacific has made what it deems a fair proposal to the Hill roads for joint use of its line between Pau nina and Klamath Falls, Ore., but that the Hill system chiefs have declined the proposal, saying that the Oregon Trunk "concluded it did not wish to use our lines, re gardless of terms." Mr. Turner said today: "The Oregon Trunk made what it con siders a fair proposal tot use of the Natron line but the Southern Pacific terms, according to my in formation, are so different both in amount and in destrictions on use fulness to the public that it does not seem possible to get together."

Agnes Hat- A remarkable health record tiwr i3v iinhi nrmahl Hnhhs 1 v. fy t - - " - ? was made by over a quarter of a million white persons living in the towns and cities of Washington, Oregon and Montana. Only the sparsely populated state of Utah achieved a better record than did Washington and Montana. In Washington the death rate among 154.000 city dwellers insured with the com pany was the exceedingly low fig ure of 4.3 per 100.000 us com pared with 7.6 per 100,000 for the company's 17,000,000 industrial policyholders in the nation at large. This low figure for 19 25 was a reduction of more than one quarter from the Washington rate of 1916 and almost one-half of Montana. The company's experience in cludes such a large percentage of the entire city and town popula tion that the rates reported are accepted by public health experts as practically accurate for the en tire group. The death rate in Oregon cities for 03,000 industrial policyhold ers was 5.1 for each 100,000 of population, which was just a trifle less healthy than that for Idaho, with comparatively few city dwellers, and that for Minne sota, where 134,000 town and city dwellers experienced the low death rate of 4.9 per 100,000 for the year. Clqse to Oregon's rate is the highly favorable experience of 258.000 persons among Wiscon sin's .industrial population where the death rate was 5.4 per 100,000. Certain diseases revealed strik ing peculiarities in some states. Wisconsin, Minnesota and Nebras ka, for instance, showed a definite decline in the cancer rate, which was in sharp contrast to the ex perience in most other parts of the country. The Oklahoma and Nebraska groups had the unusual experience of having not a single death from measles to report for the year, and Nebraska none for typhoid. Successful sanitary develop- Dena Aim.
