COOLIDGE DENIES
MAGRUDERAPPEAL
Admiral Most Look Elsewhere
Both leaders put their views into
the record before the political insti
tute of the Erie county league of
women voters, and although tiie ad
dresses vere not announced as a de
bate, 1heir opposing opinions fre
quently clashed.
In the minds of the au iicr.ee that
tided Elmwood Music hall was the
knowledge that they wi re listening
lo a possible presidential candidate
end 'when the governor, turning to
4 recent statement of Miss Karah
Schuykr Butler, mentioned that pos-.-ihility,
th"re was vc-it'.'Toiis ap
plause, made more emphatic by ore
enthusiast who lnxM-mly lalhd
out: "Al for pre.sident."
The governor quoted Miss P-utler
to the effect that if the four-year
term were defeated, the defeat
would ho construed as a "Smith vic
tory" and a rallying cry for the gov
ernor In the next democratic na
tional convention.
He declared that her statement
gave added force to his argument
that state and national politics ought
to he separated.
In a navy day address before em
ployes of the department y ster lay,
Secretary Wilbur said the depart
ment had tried faithfully to conform
to President Coolidg. 's policy of
economy and that he felt congress
would "be disposed to grant the
navy such reasonable appropriations
as will be necessary for the needed
increase in the lleet.
"For the first time In history," he
added. "The fleet is ready for ac
tion at a monien't notice. The of
ficers to man a wartime fleet are
available, the vessels of the fleet are
adequately equipped and stored. The
r.uvy is so equipped now as to be
capable of expansion and of practi
cally instant mobilization."
Philadelphia, Oct. 23 P) Rear
Admiral Thomas V. Magruder, who
has been detached from command
of the fourth naval district because
i of his criticism of navy administra
tion, feels that the mistake of his
j lite has I n that he has "talked
too much."
"1 have been lucky in my career
i up to this time," he told members
i of the fleet I.esere association in
tin address last night, "but It has
be. n the mistake of my life that I
: hac talked too much. Navy men
are taught to k. ep their mouths
1 shut. When a navy man opens his
mouth he gets in trouble that has
I bei ii my experience."
j Keen disappointment over Presl-
dent t'oolidge's refusal to review his
: eo:tt rowrsy with Secretary of the
! Navy Wilbur was expressed by the
' admiral, who stated, however, that
' lie accepted the president's decision
as tinal ar,d would go wherever he
;:s ordered.
Admiral Magruder has been called
to Washington by secretary Wilbur
for a conference on or about Nov. 5.
His successor, Kear Admiral Julian
.. I .; ; t i in t-r, is expected here a few
l.'ys xrior to the date.

Failure of Geneia Conference
May Have Effect
Washington, Oct. 18 OP.1 A per
ceptible move already is on foot on
Capitol Hill to bring a naval build
ing program forcibly before the ap
proaching session of congress.
While as yet plans of "big navy"
men remain in a somewhat nebulous
state there is a positive turrc-nt of
thought among a number of mem
bers that failure of the Geneva con
ference to reach an agreement on
limiting warcraft tonnage not af
fected by the Washington' arms
treaty, calls for serious consider,-!
tion of the advisability of providing
funds for additional fighting craft.
As the United States leads all oth
er nations in destroyer tonnage,
discussion so far has centered large
ly upon the need for additional
American cruisers, a type of war
ship in which Great Britain greatly
surpasses this country.
Kcpresontative Britten of Illinois,
ranking republican on the house na
val committee, already has declared
that to balance the battle fleet he
will Introduce, a bill proposing con
struction over a five-year period of
20 cruisers of lO.nfio tons each and
two airplane carriers of the type of
the Lexington and Saratoga which
will be completed within the next
few months.
Although the navy department of
ficially has said nothing as to
whether it will make any recommen
dations this winter for additional I
warcraft, there is reason to believe ; B
that the navy general board has
been giving consideration to the
matter and, further, there is ground
for the statement that a number of
the board's membership share Brit
ten's view.
Letter Machines Do
All Except Posting
New York, Oct. 2 8. VP) A new
automatic office appliance placed
on the market recently eliminates
about everyone except the postmai.
in handling office correspondence.
The device weighs a letter, de
termines and affixes the postage and
seals the envelope. Its use in con
junction with older machines which
write the address, salutation, fac
simile signature and even a portion
of the letter itself, and then fold
the letter and place it in the envel
ope, leaves only the postman to do
his stuff by hand.
The machines, however, are too
fast and too expensive for use ex
cept in offices having voluminous
outgoing mail.
