VII SON AGAINST
G. ]NSCRIPT ARMY,
CONGRESS- TOLD


Washington, Jan. 13.-The hearing
Dn the army program before the House
committee on military affairs yester-
day developed the fact that President
Wilson is opposed to any system of
compulsorysm military service or training
In this country. This was brought OUT
by Chairman Hay during the testimo-
ny of Henry Breckenridge. assistant
secretary of war, who was discussing
compulsory service.
s'You do not presume to speak for
the President on that subject, doryou ~
asked Chairman Hay.
Not at all. OF course mott said Mr..
Breckinridge.
seWeu. / can" said Chairman Hay.
III can say that the President is OPP
posed to the idea of com pu7sory mill
tary service and is fatty opposed to
any move IN that direction
IT believe that IS correct agreed
Mr. Breckinridge.
The assistant secretary told the COM
nnittee the failure of the Continental
army plan of the war departing emit
would prove a strong argument for
universal training
personally. 2 said Mr.. Breckinridge,
'sL believe that u Tiiversal service would
be the most effective means of raising
force for the United States. That is the
opinion of the officials of the depart
ment and officers of the army"
Representative Greene asked why it
would not be better to go directly at
the task of FederaIizing the National
Guard by CONSTITUTIONAL amendment
rather than to ''get around" the linn
1tatIons Of the state system with the
continental army proposal
3 Hope deferred rnaketh the heart
sick. replied Mr. Breckenridge. You
would propect the matter 50 far into
the future that it would be useless to
consider now any military olicy what
ever
Mr.. Breckinridge and the assistant
chief OF STAFF. General Bliss, both ex-
pressed themselves as favoring uni-
versa1 service if the contin entail army
plan was not successful.

much perpIexed over the mystery of
how the robber gained entrance. Miss
Taylor says that she saw no one enter
the building but heard strange noises
in the morning. The burglar rified
the drawers of the desk but nothing
of any value is reported missing. The
girl got the gag out of her mouth and
started to scream for help. A pet
dog was the first to be summoned by
the cries and it scared the wou1d-be
burglar away. He made his escape
through a back window.

Lawyers and Courts

In Spruce st. Story


Through application for guardian
ship about to be made in the probate
court for the two minor children of
Mrs Joseph p Takacs, who wasf re-
Gently burned to death in her home,
$40 Spruce street, a wierd story of
a comedy of error and Allegation has
been uncovered.
In the Hungarian neighborhood the
house itself has come to be considered
as a thing of evil, and through recur-
ring deaths, litigation has followed
which involves even the government
and disc1oses the almost paradoxical
situation where suit is brought to force
money upon its rightful owner.
AS disclosed in the papers filed in
former suits, on behalf of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph p. Takacs, by Atty. Err
nest Berger, the history of the odd
litigation shows that it began when
Mrs. ANNA Pottassy, now resident
Of New York, took to herself a hus-
band, Ignatz' Moesary At that time
she owned in her own name, from
years of savings, the building at 30
Spruce street.
Later the property was decided to
the Takacs, subject to mortgage. It
was here that the first of series of
errors arose, the mortgage being made
out to both Ignatz and Annie Moe
sary, as husband and wife, the origin.

At the expiration of the mortgage,

but before judgement was rendered
the defendants came forward with the
necessary amount of legal tender in

had merely leased the property In a
Isuit~before Judge Scott to compel the
complainant to accept the money, the
defendfnts won out-/Nevertheless Mrs.
Necessary refused to accept the money,
claiming the property still hers and in

bar committee in an effort to bring
charges. against counsel. Her request
was. denied.
A suit brought in the common pleas
court last December to force her to
accept money rightfu1ly hers under
court ruling met with afreturn Of the
service papers. At this juncture Moe
sary died, requiring that administra-
ton papers be taken out. This the
woman is also alleged to have refused
to do, returning papers TO the pro-
bate court.
Further complication arose from the
discovery that no taxes had been paid
upon the property for many years.
This necessitated additional suit and
rendering of judgment by the higher
courts.
The government was brought into
the transaction about IL months ago
when money order for 800 was
drawn by the Takacs and sent to Mrs.
Necessary and her husband Jointly
which Mrs. Mocsary is alleged to have
refused to cash or to return. At the
expiration of the looming month the
federal statutory Limitation will ex-

government, whereupon cause for fur

A suit for judgment tP redeem was
to be settled last Friday but during
the interim Mrs. Takacs was burned
to death by overturning of boiling
grease in her home and the long en-
tanglement is again continued by the
necessity to appoint legal guardian
over her children.
