Sold to Vincent Astor for Price Exceeding $1,000,000 Economy Fight Between Appropriation and Naval Affairs Experts.

Kniflfi Huron 901 'nloru1o Kulldlns. Byjoiix aa. Washington, Jan. 10 Unrounded lv an over-generous llousn Naval Affairs Cominlttco, tho Navy him shown so little effort to economise ibtZ th House Appropriations Committee has taken It In hund for a little economy Intrusion. And thereby Is revealed a sharp conflict between them two Influential llouns commlt-I teea In the management of the country's sea defense.

In reporting Hi Naval supply till to the House, the Appropriations Committee points out that the "naval expenditures are on an upward trend." The blame la Indirectly fixed upon the House Naval Affairs Committee, whclh apparently lends too ready an ear to the demands of the Navy for increased equipment. This commltee puts throuKh legislation authorizing the construction of more boats, Improvements and the lllto. the bills for which are then presented to the Appropriations tm-inlttee. This latter committee, In lis report, Is beginning to protest with warnings against the growing cost of the Navy, all as authorized by Its sister committee managing the Navy. Propose to Icad Way Out.

"We are proceeding toward a very iarao annual outlay for our naval arm." declared the Appropriations Com i'lltee report. "The committee feelH that by effecting certain economics the Navy can In part offset this growing expense. The Navy has not shown a deposition to do it of its own volition. The committeo therefore Is proposing to lead the way. The determination of the question of course rests with the House." The new naval supnfy bill cuts the Navy for 1927 below the budget This is explained on the 'tiround that new construction makes necessary reductions In other fields of the service.

The funds for the current year for the Navy amount to 300, 000,000. The budget wanted to give the Navy $320,000,000 for next year. The Appropriations Committee, In Its latest bill, has reduced this figure to 1317,000,000. For 1928, $11,000.0110 was allowed fur "Increase of the Navy." The next year the Appropriations Committee, to meet the demands set up ny auinonzauons lor new construction by the Naval Affairs Committee, has hnd to Allow for $28,000,000 for this purpose "Too Many Practice Cruises." The committee takes the position that tho Navy uses too much of Its fleet in practice steam lugs. As a result it cuts Its fuel allowance for next year by $1,750,000.

It cltos the example of Great Britain in putting luiuporuriiy out or commission a part of her fleet. Tho committee J'uvors keeping at least three American battleships laid up each year for repairs and modernization. The Navy now has under course of construction, or Rbout to bo constructed, two aircraft carriers, three submarines, two light cruisers and six river gunboats. All these have been authorized by the Naval Affairs Committee and their costs are Me-sinning to pinch the Navy. Thev in flate the appropriation bill, with the result that the Navy has to boar cuts elsewhere.

officers groan at this condition, but the House is presented squarely with the problem In 'the form of simple mathematics. The aircraft carriers will be finished this year, the comittee reports. The other construction is Juggled about in such a way as to be as little burden as possible upon the Treasury. "Needs Only 82,000 Men." The committee contends that enlisted men will be all the personnel needed for 1927, though the present authorized strength of the Navy Is 86,000. It bases Its plea for reduction on the ground that the Navy at present Is down to about 1 ,702 men, and that ships being lukl up will release other men for servlco on new cruft coming into existence during tho year.

The committeo raises a warning against tin overgrowth of the Naval Reserve, strongly suggesting that It Id not Its duty to check it, but rather of the Naval Affairs Committee. Jfcw Grade or "Flight Ensign." Then tho Appropriations Committee throws out another hint to the Naval Affairs Committee, regarding naval aviation pljots and the creation of a new group for this work. This Is one of Chairman llad-den's pet theories. Ho believes Annapolis men should not be used for flying. The Committee's suggestion Is as follows: "The Committee ventures to sug- Rest the establishment of a new grade of 'flight ensign' In tho Navy, to be composed of men who will enlist for duty as naval aviators for a period of four years and who will at the same time, should they not i e-enllst, agree to serve In the Naval Reserve for a further period of four years.

Flight ensigns, it is suggested, should rank with but after ensigns of the line of the Navy." And, ironically enough while the Appropriations Committee yesterday was busy closing down the Naval Affairs Committee was giving friendly attention to the Navy's plea for a new Shepandoah to cost about $7,000,000. Every dollar, It seems, the Appropriations Committee saves the Navy, the Naval Affairs Committee quickly finds a new way to spend. 8 No. ,1 lielglan King and Queen visit flood reitlons with relief.

'II i astl. 1 I 1 a leagues Together- Leaders in Movement Are Optimistic. Ralph Janus, president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce nn.l chairman of the committee to secure an Institution of higher learning In Brooklyn, has called a meeting of tho committeo lor Thursday evening, Jan. 21, at 8 o'clock, in the lounge room of the Chamber of Commerce. This Is the flrft meeting of tho com mittee of III members.

It was also learned todav that the heads of Brooklyn I list Hut Inns Inter ested forming un enduwed Brofk-Ti College from which university will grow will meet for a private dinner under the susplces of the University Club at the "-m next Tin sday. Representative members of the University Club and other persons particularly Interested in the plan of un endowed college will at tend. This group comprises many of the members of the club who considered the question of a unlversitiiKdiirlng the past two years. This committee Is not necessarily opposed to the free college muvement In Hrooklyn. Dr.

Nichols 0illinl-lli "I am becoming more oiitlnilstic every day about the possibility of Brooklyn obtaining such an Institu tion. The members of the University Club have taken up teh matter Informally and the consensus favored the endowed college," said Dr. Carroll Nichols, president of the University Club. Referring to tho plan. of City College to establish a branch In lltook-lyn, he asserted that he believed the Regents would refuse to allow It to use the name Brooklyn College.

The speech of Dr. Parke K. knlbe at his inauguration Wednesday night as president of the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn gave much encouragemeat to the advocatt of an endowed Brooklyn Col'ege which would become a university. This and the unolflclal among members of the Univeiauy Club are understood to have led to the feeling of optimism about tiie feasibility of the establishment of a Brooklyn endowed college. Tho university problem will be taken up at a meeting of thn University Club council Monday night, Dr.

Nichols said. Ho expressed the hope thut the decision of the council of the club would be Ul en up at the dinner on Tuesday. Dr. Kolbo's Viewpoint. Dr.

Kolhe Bald of the prosptct for a university: "In our local situation It Is a matter of Immediate concern that no other American community of even approximately size Is educating so small a proportion of Its students In higher Institutions within Its own boundaries as Brooklyn. Meanwhile great colleges and univer sities have grown up In other parts or the Metropolitan District, and these have, in part, cared for Brook lyn's surplus. The feeling whic has resulted In a popular demand for a University of Brooklyn is perfectly comprehensible under the circumstances. We dare not, however, lose sight of the fact that a mere formal combination of already existing Institutions would have little value. A recent survey of an utmost similar situation In Cleveland has shown that additional funds, of many millions of nonars would) nocessan'ito-nmsi-gamate the scattered educational units there Into a real University of leveland.

It Is folly to believe that Brooklyn ran build up a great private university, even with the existing material, without the provision of a great fund to make possible a program of housing and development commensurate with the bore's pop ulation and nrobatiie growth." Many of the persons interested in the Brooklyn College plan feel that the establishment of a very small college unit, with the privilege of distributing degrees, would he a sufficient nucleus for the establishment cf a university. These persons point out that a large endowment would not be necessary for this Institution at first, and that it could even use rented quarters. It Is understood that there will be it representative of the Board of Regents at the meeting on Tuesday night.

temporarily solved the problem of embarking on real estate operations without capital. Ills first step was to issue unit certificates of indebtedness at $10 each, promising a 20U percent dividend in two months, lie then acted as trustee for the syndicate thus formed, and. as he said, purchased the best hind obtainable for the least amount of money, lie confided In a statement to the public that his subdivision, including the cost of the land, subdividing, platting, staking, advertising, ofllco rental, (salaries and other Incidental overhead costs, cost him $40 an acre "as she lays." Then the acreage was staked out In lots of 23 to the acre. These lots were offered to the general public at $10 each, or a total retail price for the acre of $230. Gives Lois as Dividend.

Then follows the matter of the 200 percent dividend to the unit certificate holders. If the cash Is available, and Ponzl claims It was when the first dividend was paid recently, the holders of the $10 unit certificate holders receive $30 for eich $10 certificate. They may, if they wish, accept three $10 lots In lieu of cash. If there Is no cash, Ponzi provides that the certificate holders receive three $10 lots for each $10 certificate, thus disposing of the dividend problem. Ponzl then further announced Just where the profit is niade.

Total c'wt ot land $40 per acre, including all expense. Net retail value of the 23 $10 lots on each acre $230. Thus, if there Is no cash for dividends, each certificate holder gets three lots. Four certificates at $11) each, therefore, are taken care of by 12 of the 23 lots in each equaling the cost of the land and leaving 11 lots or the cash equivalent thereof for Ponzi's profit.

Ponzl has had printed a handbill describing Ills tract. He opens hy slating there are no Improvements on the property or developments thereon. He states that "the land Is not swampy or submerged," but is the average type of land prevailing in the Interior of Florida and "qualified as high and dry."

Thero are numerous districts In the immediate vicinity where cypress knees thrive and which are swampy during tho rainy seasdn. Ponzl claims to have sold 7.000 lots during his brief period of activity.

This was just another of Mr. Klein's successes, for shortly after he wrote: "Allow me to congratulate the Eagle on the quick results obtained in placing my advertisement in your help wanted columns.

"I placed my ad in a well-known New York newspaper for one whole week for household help but got no results whatsoever. "My advertisement, placed in your paper today, has brought immediate results.
