Rensy Murray, a G2 year old negro, who stood off 60 policemen for more than an hour yesterday in a gun battle that centered around his south end home, spent tonight In jail, charged with the murder of Patrolman Daniel McShane. The policeman, shot by the negro from a window of his stronghold, died at a hospital at noon. Two hundred shots are estimated to have boen fired before Murray was extricated from the building and placed under arrest. William Jackson, a negro, who lives in the name house and Julia Scott, a resident of the neighborhood, were. In hospitals to-night suffering from bullet wounds.

On the Injured list also was a five months' old baby suffering from burns sustained while on its bed In an upper room of the Murray house. The fire, which nearly consumed the mattress. Is believed to have been caused by the powder flashes from Murray's revolver. ing Agreed to as a Contribution to the Main- tenance of the General Peace graduated" over 20 years so It will not strain the government at one time but it means that the annual appropriation for the veterans bureau will always carry it. In other words, if the days of normalcy should ever come, the debt of the government to the disabled veterans will require at least half a billion dollars.

The chances are that America will never see a pre-war budget of a billion dollars for at least 20 years to come. Another it: which promises to be of long duration is the Interest on the public debt which amounts to about a year. This may be reduced as ome of the loans are retired but if, as seems certain, the allies are unable to pay the principal, the United States government will have to keep on borrowing ami keep on paying interest throughout this generation. The reason the bonus Is really being fought so aggressively by the men who know the fiscal side of the government is that they know if a bonus Is paid it will be a continuing item. The government will have to pay annually and once the precedent of government aid to those who were uninjured physically Is established the chances of Indefinite appropriations for a period of years are appreciably Increased.

Analyzing the appropriation for disabled veterans, one finds $26,000,000 for salaries and administrative expenses. Only about six million of this Is spent In Washington and about $19,000,000 in the fourteen regional offices where the government tries to keep In closer touch with the veterans. More than $160,000,000 is required this year to pay compensation to the families of those who lost their lives and to those who were disabled. About $73,000,000 Is being spent for hospitals and medical and surgical aid still being extended to victims of the war. This item may diminish somewhat In the next five years.

Vocational education and training is costing about $130,000,000 a year. These are the principal items. It was thought at first that the aid to the disabled would be cut down three years 'after the war, but while the government spent $380,000,000 In the fiscal year of 1921 for this purpose, the amounts needed for 1922 and 1923 average $450,000,000. On top of all this a soldier bonus is declared by government officials to be an unwarranted strain with more disadvantages in the long run to the individual who receives the bonus than advantages. Article 19 provides that "the United States, British Empire and Japan agree that the status quo at the time of the signing of the present treaty, with regard to fortifications and naval bases, shall be maintained in their respective territories and possessions specified hereunder."

The third sub-heading names as Japanese in sular territories and possessions the Kurtl Bonin and Loochoo Island's, AmmiJ3hlma, Formosa, the Pescadores By DAVID LAWRENCE (Copyright 1922, by the Free Press.) Washington, Feb. More than four hundred and flty millions dollars a year, which In pre-war years represented half the amount spent for entire government budget of the United States, Is to be expended during the ooming year and doubtless for the next five or six years to pay compensation to disabled veterans and insurance on the lives of those who were victims of the war. While the agitation for a soldier bonus to be given to those who were physically uninjured by the war continues, the facts of what the disabled veterans are costing the government are gradually being disclosed. It was not generally realized until the house of representatives sent to the Senate the veterans bill that so large an amount is being expended as a result of the war. The best estimates available indicate that the item will continue to be a part of the budget for the next several years.

It isj one-eighth of the total cost of government nowadays and may be cut somewhat a the; hospitalization expense diminishes but In general the expenditure will be in the neighborhood of $400,000,000. i There is one Item, however, whioh will grow. It is rarely spoken of in connection with estimates of the future but it is as much a debt as anything else in the long tabulations of government the budget seiit to Congress the words "indefinite appropriation" are used but the truth is the government must set aside fully a billion dollars during the next twenty years to meet a payment on the insurance policies of those who died during the war. I Unfortunately from a fiscal standpoint only $350,000,000 in premiums were collected during thel war! to meet the insurance policies that might become due. The potential liability of the government to those who died is about $1,300,000,000.

Thus far the payments have been made out of the premium collections of $350,000,000 but this will come to an end in a year. Then provision must be made to meet the billion dollar deficit. The payments are tlon within Jurisdiction of the contracting powers on foreign account may be taken for war uses. In the event of such a suspension, the remaining powers agree to "consult together with a view to agreement as to what temporary modifications If any should be made, in the treaty as between themselves." Failing such an agreement the remaining powers may also give notice of suspension of the treaty obligations with the come exceptions.

I Chapter 2 relates to the execution of the treaty. Part one of the chapter deals with tonnage ratio. Part 2 sets out the rules for scrapping vessels. Inder this heading rule 1 provides that such vessels must be so treated that they cannot be put into combat use. Rule provides that this may be accomplished by sinking, breaking up of converting them into targets.

Rules 3 and 4 provid4 th.t vessels due for scrapring shall, be rendered Incapable of warlike servlco within six months of the comingj into force of the treaty. Under chapter 2 provision is made for France to lay down) new capital ship tonnage In the years 1927. 1929 making any necessary modifications in the treaty.

Provision is made that notice of termination shall be In writing to the United States which shall notify ftie other powers the date of receipt of notice by the United States being the effective date of the notification. In the case of the United States, notice of termination would be given to diplomatic representatives of the other four powers in Washington.

Scribner Is in Randolph for a few days on ne iaia out not earlier than 17 years after such date of completion, and it is further provided that with the exception of the two British capital ships provided for and the replacement building In specified years by France and Italy, no capital ship ton-rage be laid down until 10 years from November 12, 1921." The replacement rules forbid any alterations in armor or armament except that France and Italy may Increase their armor and the calibre of main batteries of existing ships up to the maximum of 16-lnch weapons and that Great Britain may complete armor alterations on the Renown already started. Section 2 contains the replacement charts on capital ships for each nation.

The American chart has 'a provision permitting retention of the old battleships Oregon and Illinois "for noncombatant purposes" after they have been rendered Incapable of warlike service. Outside of the retention in 1922 of two ships of the West Virginia class to replace the Delaware and North Dakota no capital ship replacementbuilding could be undertaken by the United -States until 1981 when under the chart two keels would be laid followed by two in 1932, one in 1933; two In 1934; one in 1935; two in 1936; one In 1937; two In 1938, and two in 1939. All of these ships would be completed In 1942. The chart shows the American fleet to contain 15 pre-Jutland and three post-Jutland vessels. It would not reach the full strength of 15 post-Jutland ships until 1941.

The order of replacement building I i i mi ii i 'in iii iiiiiiiaiii i i in' iift Ping vessels of war" carried the part 2 mentioned. Article 1 then provides that in addition i to the specified capital ships "the United States may complete and retain two ships jf the West Virginia class now under construction" and on their completion i dispose of the North Dakota and Dela- ware under the scrapping rules, while V3reat Britain may "in accordance with the replacement table" carried in chap-S ter 2. construct two new capital ships not to exceed 23.000 tons standard displace- ment each and on their completion dts-ipose the Thunderer, King George AJax and Centurion under the scrapping Article 3 is the agreement of the powers to "abandon their respective capital Ship building programs" and to build or aoqulre no new capital ships except as 9 replacement tonnage and under the replacement agreement, ships thus replaced to be disposed as provided for In chap- ter 2.

25,000 tons; France, 175,000 tons; Italy T73.00O tons; Japan 315,000 tons, which i aggregates the powers agree not to exceed. Article 5 fixes the 33.000 ton capital ship maximum displacement for any ship which "shall be acquired by or constructed by, for or within the jurisdiction of, any of the contracting powers." Article 6 says no capital ship "shall carry a gun with a calibre in excels of 16 tnches." Article 7 fixes the total tonnage of air craft carriers at: United States 135.000: British Empire. 125.000; France, Italy. 60.000 Japan SI .000. Articles 8.

The French chart shows a provision for five ships to be laid down between 1927 and 1933, all to be completed by 1936.. A note is attached, however, saying France reserves the right of employing her capital ship tonnage allotment as she considers ad- vlsable subject only to a maximum displacement of 35,000 tons and the other limitations of the treaty. The Italian chart is similar to the French except that replacement building would be completed in 1937.
