SELLS EQUIPMENT
Two National Guard Off
GERS May BE Prosecuted
for Sale Of Goods.

SAN ANTONIO, May 4.--Major
William II. Simons, assistant to the
inspector-general, U. S. A., depart
ment of the south. today was dele.
gated to investigate the alleged un-
authorized sale Of military equipment,
issued to the Texas National Guard
and later surveyed as worthless and
ordered destroyed. General Fred
erick Funston, commander of the
southern department, announced
Major Simons appointment this after
noon.
The property involved was valued
at $4,000 and included several hun
dred army tents, blankets, uniforms
and guns and ammunition, which, it
Is charged, was sold in st. Louis and
other places 10y former offrers of the
Texas National Guard. The result Of
the investigation, it is said, may cause
the federal government to withdraw
its annual appropriation for the Texas
militia and also In criminal proceed
ings against at least two former Texas
guard officers, whose names are with
held.
General Funston, in a statement
this afternoon, said:
1T Is evident two militia officers
abused their positions, dsposing of
large quantities of army goods which
mad been issued to the state Of Texas.
Some of these goods were sold to Mex
lean factions and the remainder to
private dealers in this country. There
may be other persons involved, but
the facts will not be known until
Major Slmons completes his investiga-
ton.

SHIPPERS TELL OF LOSSES
Stock Raisers DO Much for Iowa and

CHICAGO, May 4.-The part which
stockraisers play in conserving the
fertility Of Iowa and Illinois farm
lands should exempt them from ad-
ditional burdens in the shape of in
creased freight rates on live stock.
according to the viewpoint Of wit
nesses who testified today in the west
ern freight rate hearing before Edgar
Watkins, special examiner for the in
terstate commerce commission.
Witness after witness told Of losses
incurred by cattle shippers last year,
though all agreed that generally the
industry gave fair returns. Facilities
afforded cattle owners who accom-
panied their stock to market were
crude and inadequate, according TO
the witnesses who criticized the bunk

SENATOR HAMILTON
EXPLAINS ELECTION

CHICAGO, May 4.-As the princi-
pal speaker at a dinner given by
friends tonight to former Mayor Car
ter H. Harrison, United States Sena-
tor James Hamilton Lewis said ne
deemed the occasion appropriate for
an analysis of the recent election at
which William Hale Thompson, Re
publican, was chosen mayor by a
plurality Of almost 1902 votes
Il do this to correct statement
made in certain quarters that the
election Of Mr.. Thompson was a pro-
test against the Wilson administra-
ton" Senator Lewis said. The issue
was not Woodrow Wilson nor the pol
iucs OF the national administration.
That disappoiniments in the DEM
oCrauc party and discontents in the
citizenship because Of the depressed
financial condition did contribute a
part is conceded, but too many Dem
ocrats believed that the election of the
Democratic ticket would be held as
repudiatioR of the president and
that defeat of the Democratic ticket
was necessary as a proof of the vim
dicition Of the president and that
election Of the Republican ticket
would be evidence Of the refusal of
the people to endorse measures or is
sues which were believed to have the
object Of repudiating the presidents

world and his international policies
