Joseph II. Choate has written to s.

the league on its preparedness activities.
He suggests also that upon the Ameri-

doubling their efforts to obtain action

made public yesterday. was In part as
follows:
There is no clear indication that
Congress. notwithstanding the recon-
mendations of the President based O
the reports OF the Secretary Of War and
the Secretary of the Navy. intends to
do anything more than to be- a trife
more liberal than in former years In
naval and military appropriations. This
will not meet our prevent national needs
nor what / believe to be the popular
demands.
"In the absence to date OF any mani

5000 excited East Siders damned the

Policeman Edward Corey, who was
summoned to the fiat. sent In a hurry
call to the Union Market police station,
and Capt. Albert Mason responded with
twelve of the reserves. II was fifteen

The latter were charged at first with
attempted suicide. but the police made

had discovered the family's plight. He
told Inspector Deevy. Capt. Cray and

other room of the fiat.
Among the physicians who were called
a difference of opinion developed as to
the cause OF their condition. One yrac-
titioner said there were traces OF car

girl. The police, however. found no such
poison after searching the rooms. though
they came across a bottle of bichloride

and his mother. II these b~ankbooks are
forthcoming the investigators believe
important discrepancies will be shown
between COMMISSIONS Woods testimony
regarding the movement Of his bank
funds and their actual disposal.
When Commissioner Wood first tes;i-
fed she said that before he became Pub
lie Service Commissioner he had bor-
rowed $4,000 from his brother and en-
planned subsequent withdrawals from his
bank at the rate Of $3.50 every other
week by saying he was repayinG this
$4,000 loan. +. Erskine Wood failed to
verify this when he was called n later
Commissioner Wood amended his orig.
nal statement by saying that IL was his
