HORSES IN AIR CORPS CAUSE HEATED WORDS; And Polo Ponies Wrapped Up in Red Tape Bring More Dispute. RV MARSHALL M’NEIL United Press Staff CJnrrr^nondrnt • WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—Horses in the air corps, mules pulling a 1 buckboard and 1.000 polo ponies got! mixed up in the hearing on the j army appropriation bill. If you were chief of cavalry and . you wanted a thousand polo ponies,! how would you go about getting! them? Representative Ross Collins; I'Dern., Miss.) put this question to; General Douglas MacArthur, chief ! of staff, when that handsome sol- I dier was before the subcommittee of which the Mississippian is chairman. General MacArthur told him the applicant for 1.000 polo ponies j would have to write a letter, which 1 would be referred to the adjutant- i general, to the general staff, to G-4 and G-3, and finally it would : come to the secretary of war, to the j budget bureau, back to the war department, perhaps, and then on to congress. Not that it would ever get that far, for congress now is intent on economies, and Collins demonstrated that some of the economies might have to come out of the mounted forces. Horses in the Air Corps This just was one interlude In the hearings. There were others— Major-General John L. DeWitt, the quartermaster-general, w'as being asked about horses, and to illustrate the point Representative Collins was attempting to make he was questioning DeWitt: Collins—They have horses in the ' air corps? General DeWitt—Yes, sir. Collins—Do they take them up with them when they go up in the planes? General DeWitt—No. But for purposes of exercise they are entitled to a horse to ride. General Rides a Buekboard Laler, with General DeWitt still on the stand, this colloquy took place: General DeWitt—l know of two cases where one corps commander bought his own car, and another corns commander is using a buckboard to go to his office. Collins—A buckboard? Here it was explained that a 1 buckboard meant “two mules and a j little wagon," and Representative i Collins asked: “Where is that?” General DeWitt —At San Antonio, Tex. Collins—What is he trying to do; get his picture in the moving pictures? General DeWitt —No; he has got to get to his office, either by walking or ridinfe, and he can not ride j m an automobile. Collins—l go to my office in a | car. Why can’t he go in his own car, just as I go in mine? Trying to Show Off? General DeWitt—l do not know ; that he has one. Collins—Will you find out the | * T, n mount of his pay and allowances j and put it in the record? General DeWitt—He is a major- j general. Collins—That is between $9,000 j and SIO,OOO a year, is it not? General DeWitt —Yes. I have j not actually seen it. but I was told | of this case. He lives quite a distance from his office, and that is j the way he. gets there.. Collins—What is he trying to do: just show off? General DeWitt—Oh, no. sir. j That is the only transportation he J can use. Collins —Other people that are ; making $9,000 are able to buy a car. Two Mules Have Died Then there was the matter of ; trumpets. Representative Collins j discovered that the plan was to buy 2,147 trumpets. “What are you trying to do,” he j asked, “give every enlisted man a | trumpet?” General DeWitt replied: “No, sir.” | The army’s mule population came up: | Captain Cronwell —On Oct. 31 ; there were 2.045 horses and mules. Collins—How many mules were there, one or two? Captain Cronwell—There were eleven. Collins—There used to be thirteen. did there not? Captain Cronwell—Two have died of old age. ,4 NEW YORK WIDENING COMPLETION IS VOTED East Side Street to Be Finished as ! Forty-foot Thoroughfare.

STOCK MARKET CHIEFS SEEK TO BARFRAUDS •Kreuger Collapse Woke Us Up,’ Official Tells Senate Probers. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—The New York Stock Exchange is considering drastic measures to protect the American investor from huge losses by fraud such as he incurred in the collapse of the worldwide Kreuger-Toll enterprises, a senate investigating committee was told Thursday. Frank Altschul, chairman of the exchange listing committee, said compulsory independent audit of stocks on the exchange probably would be requred. He said the exchange was “reluctant” to take this step, but “when it comes to a showdown we are going to have to exert our power.” The stock exchange official said he knew of no security now on the New York market backed by questionable collateral, and added “this Kreuger thing shook us up.” Witnesses described how American bankers were completely baffled by the extensive operations of the late Ivar Kreuger. They tolcl how assets of the “match king’s” crumbling financial empire had been “progressively siphoned” into Sweden, “while liabilities were dumped into America.” WIDOW IS APPOINTED Mrs. Salem D.

Blaekstone, who has entertained millions with his magic escape tricks, will attempt to get out of a sound packing case which is being constructed by employes of the Block Company. He claims no box made is strong enough to hold him. Employes of the store have accepted his challenge and say they will construct a box strong enough to hold a half dozen Blackstones. Blaekstone will be bound hand and foot and placed in the box. Within a few minutes, the magician claims, he will be out of the box and free of his shackles.

KANSAN SEEKS TO BRING BACK DEATH PENALTY i Wants Electric Chair Set Up; None Executed in 40 Years. By United Press TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 13—Representative W. H. Reed has introduced a bill in the state legislature asking for re-establishment of the death penalty in Kansas, and installation of an electric chair in the state prison. Failure of Kansas to impose the death penalty is making the state popular as a place for gangsters of ! neighboring states to put their vie- j | tims ‘on the spot,”’ Reed declared. He blamed Missouri criminals for a number of assassinations in the vicinity. Kansas had capital punishment for major crimes until 1907. when it was abolished, except for treason. No Governor, however, has signed a death warrant since 1870, and there have been no hangings in Kansas under state direction for more than fortv vears.
