aprons, trying to get them ont of

used to dispel them; at least they
should be disinfected before they are

human hair who have branches and
connections all over the world, were
indicted here on a specific charge of
defrauding j. and w. Seligman bank
ers, out of $16,793 by means of fraud

trict Attorney Whitman asserts, is only
one of many through which Musica
is said to have defrauded two foreign
and American banks out of approx
mately $1,OOO,000. Father and son
have fled the city. Detectives ex-
pressed the belief that they are
bound for South America. Antonio
Musicals daughters Louise and Grace,

SHOULD BE
READY FOR ACTION

Washington, March 19.-In an Off
cial statement of policy Secretary Of
War Garrison declared in favor of inn
mediate preparation of the military
forces of the United States to meet
any emergency, holding a discussion
of disarmament by international
agreement to be entirely out of place
in the consideration of what the Unit
ed States government should do to
meet existing conditions. The sec
retary proposed retention of the regu-
lar army at its present strength, i'm
provement of the national guard and
creating a reserve.
Declaring that he was not urging
militarism Mr.. Garrison said the lead
ing men in the United States army
do not advocate militarism, which
means the existence of large stand
ing army, but precisely the reverse
a small, compact, but thoroughly ef-
ficient army. The most rabid anti
militarists, he said could not serious
ly suggest that the present army of
ninety thousand to look after pop
ulation of more than 110,000,000 in
the United States ana the insular pos
sessions had any hint of militarism in
it.
