Washington, June 22.-On the re-
port of army officers that the
European war has robbed the United
States of most Of it's suitable cavalry
horses, Senator Pittman of Nevada is
fathering bill for government aid
in breeding a new supply.
Attention was centered in this mill
tary weakness of the country when
officers were able to buy cavalry re-
mounts for the Mexican campaign on
ly at unusually high prices, ana
those of inferior quality.
Officers reported to Pittman before
he introduced his bill that there are
only 10000 cavalry, horses in the
country suitable for immediate use.
Since the European war opened, L.
100000 American horses and mules
have been exported.
Horses for the cavalry should be
rather small, decidedly hardy and
intelligent said Senator Pittman to-
day. 1--WE have plenty of heavy
horses for commercial use, but the
auto truck has largely done away
with their military value. What is
needed is supply of ponies able to
do scout duty
This breed is obtained by the
crossing of thoroughbred and west
ern plain stock. The cooperation of
breeders of the eastern thoroughbred
states with western growers under the
supervision of the federal government
is required. There is no feature OF
the preparedness program more press
ing than the creation of a suitable
cavalry horse type"
The 100000 sought by Pittman is
under consideration by, the appropri-
ations committee.

Fred Kendall of Garden City was
late yesterday brought before Judge
Plymat of the municipal court on the
charge of assault in the third degree.
The arrest was made on the complaint
of Charles Rector, who alleged that
the victim of the assault was Ophella
Rector, and that it occurred on June
IS last. Kendall pleaded not guilty
and his case was set for trial on June
% at 10 a. m. He was allowed to go
on his own recognizance.
The complaining witness is the hus
band of the woman who is alleged to
have been assaulted. 1t is alleged that
Kendall threw this woman, who is
quite elderly, down and hurt her.
1t appears that Rector rented lot
from Kennedy. On this lot was
strawberry patch. The question that
caused the row was whether the land
lord or the tenant had the right to
gather strawberries from this patch.
