TELLS HOW OFFICERS

Former Secretary Wright on
Stand in House Probe
of Ray Case.

Roundabout methods of army officers to
eircumyent army regulations and get
transfers and changes of assignment were
described to the House committee on ex-
penditures in the War Department when
former Secretary of War Luke E. Wright
resumed the witness stand to explain his

much difficulty in tracing his military

One of the points which bothered the

which began: my dear Secretary"
Representative Buckley wanted to know

address the Secretary of War in such a

Gen. Bell did not feel himself obli-

committee.
HEAR CHARGES THURSDAY

Representatives Dyer of Missouri and
Lobeck of Nebraska. who have been
designated by the House District COM
mittee as a special subcommittee to in
vestigate the tuberculosis hospital, have
made no plans to probe conditions in
any other of the local medical or chart
table institutions. In fact they have no
authority to make any such inquiry, and
in the event that they decide that an
investigation is warranted will nave
to go back to the full committee for in
structions.
The first hearing on the Tuberculosis
Hospital charges will be held at o'clock
next Thursday afternoon, when the prin-
cipal witness will be DIR. f, c. Schroeder
Department of Agriculture expert, who
will testify concerning the local milk
supply. Representatives Dyer and Lobec (
are anxious to know before going in o
other details of the investigation if the
milk used by hospitals and by the gem
eral public here in the National Capital
compares favorably with the milk supply
of other cities, where the laws and regu-
lations intended to protect the consumer
are strict and also properly enforced.
Want First-Hand Testimony.
If DIR. Schroeder concludes his testi-
mony in time, an opportunity will be
given Thursday to a number of District
residents. some of whom have brought
charges against the hospital, and others
who have written to the District COM
mittee in defense of the conduct of the
institution, to- set forth the results Of
their observations. The committee does
not want secondhand testimony or ru-
mors. but is anxious to get at the facts
in the shortest possible space of time.
1--WE are particularly anxious to know"
said Mr.. Dyer today, whether the money
now being appropriated annually for the
tuberculosis Hospital is being properly
and intelligently expended, and whether
it is sufficient to furnish the patients with
fresh milk and eggs and other wholesome
and nutritious food all the year round. If
it is not sufficient for this purpose, and
also to insure the patients the best at
tention along the most modern lines of
treatment we want to find out, SO that
recommendation may be made by the
District committee that the annual fund
be increased until it will meet the needs
of the institution

May Have Scattered.

Here in Hillsville the belief is growing
that the fugitives, with full days start
on their pursuers, have separated and
scattered into remote villages They would
not be recognized after travelling twenty
five miles in any direction. If they have
fled in pairs, perhaps to reunite some
where in North CAROLINA, West Virginia
or Tennessee, there would be no hope of
immediate capture.
To determine this definitely Capt H.
W. Dayant of the state militia is believed
to be anxious to surround the mountains
with 2Oo men and peer into every nook
and crevice day after day, stationng
guards on the principal highways to cut
off any food supply. AT the same time
every effort is being made to circulate
good descriptions of the Aliens among the
county authorities of all neighborng
states.
Faith of many people here however,
still is placed in the ability of the noun
taineer detectives to locate the Aliens
1t is believed that by watching the ac-
tivities Of woman members of the Allen
clan they may intercept some communica-
ton.

of troops, the most adaptable being cav

siege and search of the mountains of
Carroll and adjoining counties, seem to-
day to be the only practicable method by
which the members of the Allen clan
can be captured.
Reports from Mount Airy, n. c., re-
ceived here late today left serious doubt
as to whether the outlaws had been sur
rounded at Squirrels spur, as had been
reported last night.
Detectives have searched the roads
and houses in this vicinity within a
radious of fifteen miles and have been
unable to find any clue of the present
hiding places of the fugitives. Without
facilities for camping the posse has
not dared to spend a night in the
mountains anywhere near the summit
of the Blue Ridge. where the Aliens
are believed to be hiding.
Interest shifted from the DEVILS Den
vicinity to Squirrels Spur late yesterday,
when a large posse which had been
securing the mountains on the North
Carolina side barely missed catching
Wesley Edwards, a nephew of the older
Aliens, at his cabin, eight miles east
OF oldna Alien S nome. Edwards escaped
through a back door. His sister told
the officers that Sidna Allen, suffering
from severe wound, had been at the
cabin during the day and had told Wes-
ley to meet him at Squirrels Spur last
night. Taking Edwards trail, the posse
followed to the rendezvous, arriving near
the foot of the cliff about 10 o'clock. Not
daring to do more in the darkness the
detectives placed themselves to prevent
the possibility of an escape and waited.

Aliens is expected mOmentarily

NEW YORK, March 19.-There was
subsistence of the anthracite strike scare
today, and in consequence there was
falling off in the pressing demand for
hard coal from frightened consumers. The
belief is gaining ground that both sides
will reach an agreement, and that IL there
is a suspension of work April ] it will
not last long. The operators say they
are ready to confer with the men on any
reasonable proposition and consider the
