Senator Hale contended the country should replace Its snips regularly sq that large numbers would not have to be built at one time and thus do away with "this outcry" that the United states is arming to fight other nations. He argued the cruisers were need ed to replace obsolete warcraft. Norrls Makes Strong Attack Against Bill At the end of the day. Senator Norrls, republican, rounded up the opposition to the bill with an attack on what he described as the "big navy" people of the country. He declared the debate had demonstrated that if it is ne cessary to build these cruisers it is only because there is danger of war with Great Britain. "No other nation Is in a posi tion to cause any uneasiness," he said. "It seems logleal then that we are building this navy for war with Great Britain. Tet no one will admit that there is anything on the political horizon which In dicates any war. It is hardly con celvable that there could be any war between Great Britain and this country. "There is no need for us to have a navy as large as Great Britain even if we "were going to war with Great Britain. If she were cut off from her territories it is admitted her people would starve In 30 days. We can live unllmitedly within our nation.' Nobody Wants Ships Now Says Harrison Senator Harrison demanded to know "who wants these cruisers built at once." President Coolidge doesn't want them to be," he added. - "I think," Interposed Hale, "that the president has already notified the country in his talks mtr - nMimMmin that He IS ready to go ahead with xonstruc tion." Harrison, without taking notice of the Interruption continued, "the naval board has not been shown to want it, nor the presi dent, nor the president-elect. "Of course," he added, "this provision will help the Bethlehem Steel corporation and other steel companies. It will require more steel and add to their profits." Hale, with, some show of Impa tience, again Interrupted the Mis sissippian to declare that "the senator full well knows. that the consideration would not influence any senators," and added, "that It Is unworthy of the senator to make that Inference."

Before It can be- ome effective it must be voted on V the people and approved by wo thirds of the states. Oregon already has child labor egislation of sufficient force that the national legislation would Tiake no difference here. It is lointed out. However, opposi tion to the resolution is expected y its backer, and he is busv ore- paring himself for the debate hould the resolution be argued. a HRBSr 0RM1STGN WILL BE SUMll IN 0111 (Continued from page 1.) naping investigation two yearF ago was employed at ISO a day and expenses, upon the recom mendation of Judge Hardy, Ham mer testified. Hammer said the question of his salary came up be tween himself, Mrs. Kennedy and Judge Hardy, that the Jurist sug gested the $50 a day rate and Mrs. Kennedy accepted it. Hammer said, as had Roland Rich Woolley, an associate attor ney In the case, that Mrs. Ken nedy told him to "respect Judge Hardy's Judgment , and consult with him on policies, since he was such an old friend." Woolley 'said he Investigated the public insinuations that Mrs. McPherson had been "visiting" with Ormlston at Carmel while she was supposed to be held by kidnapers and on his return pre pared a statement for publication analy ting his findings. A subpoena was issued late to day for the appearance of former District Attorney Keyes before the state legislative committee . which la investigating the-$3500 "love offering" check given by Almee Semple McPherson, evangelist; to Superior Judge Carlos S. Hardy. The committee; which Issued the subpoena, indicated It wished to ask Keyes if Judge Hardy ever conferred with him regarding the McPherson kldnaping-consplracy case, wnicn was unaer investiga tion at the time the check was given the Jurist in August, 1921. Keyes' name was drawn Into the hearing late today by attorneys employed at that time by Mrs. McPherson, who described various conferences they had with Judge Hdrdy.

It will authorize the land board to cooperate with the Washington land board in the collection of roy alties for sand taken In the fu ture; and will give the board pow. r to accept an assglnment of the Washington claims or to assign Oregon's claims to Washington in "ase litigation over the sand pre viously taken is necessary. The features of this new bill were proposed by Percy A. Cup oer, who had a part in proposing the first one. At the hearing the matter of the Washington law was discuss, ed.- and Attorney General Van Winkle was of the opinion that the Oregon land board might require additional authority to enter into the agreement therein proposed, and for this reason such authority wae Included in the new bill. J. B-Jinnegan, oPrtland attor ney, representing some of the sand and gravel companies concerned, presented reasons which had been gone into at previous hearings, why, the companies should not pay In full for sand taken In the past. He said they would not admit any liability to the state Jor this ma terial since no payment was anked pr contemplated at the time, but gala iney were willing 10 mate a compromise. The compromise of fer made previously had been re. fused by the land board. T. B. Kay, state treasurer and member of the land board, said the board needed no additional powers or Instruction to continue Its negotiations for payments, but that the board .was opposed to making the approprlatirn of not to exceed $5000 from the school fund, proposed in the bill for col, J tectlon and. If necessary, litiga- tion costs. Mr. Finnegan said the compan ies he represented bad teen pay. W SlilD)0 Every "Used Radio" is guaranteed to give splendid reception.
