BORTON SUCCEEDS OSCAR MASHMEYER AS SMELSER'S AID Health Officer Appoints Nurse to Take Place of Inspector Who Becomes Sheriff-Elect Steen. Dr. S G. Smelser, city health officer, stated today that Jesse Borton, 34 South Fifth street, had been appointed city sanitary officer to succeed Oscar Mashmeyer, who retires from that position the first of the year to become deputy sheriff. Mashmeyer's appointment as deputy sheriff was announced yesterday. There were quite a few applications . for appointment as sanitary officer, which pays $750 a year. Borton was formerly trustee of Webster township but has lived in Richmond for a number of years, and for some time was employed by the street car company. Lately he has been acting as a nurse and Dr. Smelser believes he is therefore particularly qualified for the office he has been appointed to.

EMPLOYMENT PLAN FOR LARGE CITIES

The Richmond post office has not received any information regarding the Chicago post office plan of conducting a middle west employment bureau to rid that city of its unemployed. Postmaster Beck said today that ho does not believe the plan will materialize on the large scale which was outlined when the post office department at Washington gave the Chicago office permission to try it. "It is more a plan to furnish men with information regarding employment, than an employment bureau," Mr. Beck said. "I have heard nothing of the plan since its first announcement."

f BY LEASED WIRE. WASHINGTON'. Dec. 1 1 .Thorough and scientific reorganization, and not investigation, is the great need of the military establishment of the United

Stales Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, a West Point graduate, today told the Senate in a speech on the national defense. The senator opposed a commission of inquiry into the country's preparedness to withstand attack, suggested by Senator Lodge and Representative Gardner. He urged the creation of an army reserve, the doubling of the number of the trained officers and the abolition of wasteful features in the military system. In r, neral, he indorsed the recommendations of Secretary of War Garrison as to the drilling of a great reserve of young men who might be called upon by the country in the case of war. Reorganize Army. "I believe that laws should be passed at once which will reorganize the regular army" said Senator Weeks. "This reorganization should give to the mobile army the proper proportion of infantry, field artillery, cavalry, engineers, signal, sanitary troops, the needed ammunition and supply trains and provide for properly equipped depots. "The law must provide that the men serve the shortest time with the colors necessary to train them as soldiers, and then pass them as soon as trained to a reserve, anil that while serving in this reserve the men must be paid. Make the enlistment age 1S to :'A with consent of parents, and ur as limit for first enlistment. Any one may learn about our military and naval establishment by reading the official reports. It is an open book to all citizens and there need be no doubt about our relative posi

tion or capabilities if one is disposed to study reports."

of the Navy Daniels today told the house naval affairs committee that until there was an international disarmament agreement this country would continue to build two battleships a year. The statement was brought out by Representative Wotherspoon, a "small navv" man. who souht to have Mr.

Daniels say that if foreign navies were i reduced by war or otherwise this coun- ! try might interrupt its building pro

gram. "Suppose the navies of other nations should consist of only fifteen battleships each, must we keep on building?" asked Wotherspoon. "I would continue building two battleships a year until there is a international agreement regarding a reduction in armament," replied Daniels. Daniels added that this country would be glad to join in an international agreement looking to disarmament, but until this comes, the policy is to go ahead with the regular building plan.

PRINCIPAL EXPLAINS HIGH SCHOOL WORK

Principal Frank G. Pickell, explained to the 8A class at the Garfield

school, yesterday, the entrance requirements to the high school. A class of 110 members will be advanced from Garfield to the high school at the beginning of the next semester. The students were given enrollment cards to fill out with the subjects they expect to elect in the high school work. In a like manner Prof. Heironimus of the Garfield school has sent out enrollment cards to the pupils of the ward schools who will enter Garfield. "The work has been explained to them in such manner that when the term opens they will know exactly how to take up the new work," said Prof. Heironimus. This system of preparing the new students for Garfield has been followed for nearly nine years.

CENTERVILLE, Ind., Dec 11. Centerville has a new town marshal. No unusual significance would be attached to this statement were it not that Centerville has had a number of new marshals during the last two years, each of whom has given up the job after a short tenure of office. George Moore, the latest officer to retire, resigned because of alleged unjust charges which members of the town board made against him. Mr. Moore was receiving a salary of about $25 a month. Gent Richardson was yesterday appointed to succeed Moore as custodian of the town's peace and dignity and as chief wielder of the broom and shovel on the streets. To encourage Marshal Richardson the board raised the salary to $45 a month. Besides interrupting the flight of naughty motorists from Richmond, who dash heedlessly through Centerville, Marshal Richardson will care for the town hall and ring the curfew.
