DAVIS BILL CAUSES TROUBLE
CLAIM THINGS WE'RE MlsREPRE.
sENTED TO CONGRESS.
Over q Hundred Officers Are Promot
cd Under the New
Law.

Washington, March IA. = The an.
nouncement of the appointment of
about 40 new officers in the army is
said to be the basis of a scandal de-
veloped as a result of legislation in
the last congress that will be investi-
gated by a committee Of the next
Democratic house. This legislation re-
suited from a bill introduced in the
house by Representative Davis of
Minnesota at the instance, it is claim
ed, of Lieut.-Col. w. G. Brown, who
is a native of st. Peter, MINI.
The legislation, as proposed was
intended to promote the equalization
of rank among the officers of the
army. The point in the legislation
Ing FROM regimental promotions, many
of the officers of the army had not
been Justly treated. 1t was to correct
this injustice that the measure was
passed, and it is alleged that the rep
reservations made to the committees
Of congress were that not more than
20 officers would be affected by the
changes which would create vacancies
in the official list of the army.
The members of both parties in
congress were startled by the an
nouncement that 4S officers have been
promoted, and that inside information
at the department indicates that more
than 100 appointments will follow the
changes. In other words, the claim
is that congress was misled by the
army officers who advocated the leg
! islation.
The interesting feature of this al
legged scandal is that the Democrats,
as we'll as the Republicans in congress,
were misled, and they are particularly
resentful, in view of the fact that con.
gress authorized the addition of more
than 200 officers to the army, and the
committees were led to believe that
under the Davis bill to equalize the
promotions of army officers, only 20
officers would be affected, whereas it
is now apparent that more than 100
will be promoted and appointed.
The Davis bill was introduced, it
is said, at the request of Lieutenant
Colonel Brown, who had suffered from
inequalities in promotions, and he is
made lieutenant colonel by the new
list of promotions just announced.
No charge is made that Lieutenant
Colonel Brown had any knowledge OF
the effect of the proposed changes In
the army, nor how many vacancies
would be created by which a large
number of additions to the list of Of
icers in the army will be made. The
Democratic minority In the last con
gress acquiesced in the passage of the
, Davis bill, believing that it was ir
the interest of justice to officers who
had not received fair consideration un
der the old form of promotions. The
Democratic members of the commit
tees are expected to institute an in
vestigation and exposure of those who
were instrumental in securing the leg
~islation without making all the facts
known to congress.

Financial Etymolooy,

Long ago, on an occasion when the
stock market showed signs of manipu
lation in an advance defying all the
current news, n of the shrewdest
writer's on stocks started to describe
1t as "buoyant." The adjective die
not satisfy him and he modified it tc
"hamboyant." This did not quite ex
press the peculiar condition and he
was reduced to inventing a word. The
word was "fimflamboyant."
