"Too Much Red Tape Get
ting Money" is General
Crozier's Complaint
Is INTERRUPTED
BY CHAMBERLAIN
"You Had Millions Left
From Former Appropri-
ations," is Answer
lBy Associated Press.l

Washington, Dec. l7.-Inquiry into
alleged delays in supplying the army
with guns and the cuTtaIlment oI
funds recommended by the ordnance
! bureau for that purpose was taken
up again today in open session Dy
the senate military committee after
a two days examination OF Major
General Crozier behind closed doors
General Crozier who was still on the
stand today continued his detailed
statement Of the ordnance situation
as far as 1t revealed nothing the war
department considers a military
secret.
General Crozier declared there was
entirely too much red tape" getting
money. While an emergency approp-
ration request for a lump sum OF $z,-
9s2 ,537 900 was made by the war de-
partment April 5-a day before war
was declared, IL was June before con-
gress made appropriations under
the estimates.
But you had millions of dollars
left of appropriations made before, -
interrupted Chairman Chamberlain.
II have not been entirely satisfied
with any explanation made OF this
matter. For instance, you had money
appropriated for machine guns and
you haven't the guns yet. We ap-
propriated for small arms and you
spent the money for pistols instead
OF rifles"
I'VE were far shorter of pistols
than rifles" General Crozier answer
ed, "and we are not going to be
slowed up in this war in the slight
est degree on account of rifles"
Il don't think the country will be
NH@4a4
ator Chamberlain insisted. I'VE need
rifles for target practice and train
ing purposes and in the field"
How prospective appropriations By
congress were anticipated was re-
cited by General Crozier. He said
orders were placed for nine million
rounds OF ammunition early last
spring before any funds were avail"
able. He detailed how many new
factories that had never before made
gun forgings were given large COM
tracts to increase ordnance produce
tion.
I'VE have placed orders OF more
than $1,000, 100000 since the war be-
gam" General Crozier explained, cit-
ing the magnitude Of operations.
"That is more than fifty per cent
over the entire governments ex-
.penses for any year since the Span
ish war"
Senator wadsworth asked whether
the government should have an off,
Ger or department similar TO Eng
lands minister Of munitions.
MY own belief is that the better
way is to enlarge and strengthen
existing organizations rather than
create new ones" General Crozier
Y-anfiad "Oricker rpgtiIts have beeu
obtained here than by the British
organization"
'We think. and think. the coun-
try thinks, that there has been too
much delay, too much red tape, too
much circumlocution in the depart
ment,' said Senator Hitchcock. HAS
any effort been made to shorten up
the processes?"
Eyes, a great deal of red tape has
been eliminated" said General
Crozier.

TESTIMONY

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 17.-Testi-
mony aimed at proving the assertion
Of the state of North Dakota that
Thomas Hall, secretary of state,
charged with embeZzlement Of So, 400,
put it over" on Minneapolis firm
of accountants who received $50, 900
for an audit of books, Dec. 1, 1916,
and that a deficit of 81, 200 in the
automobile registration department
of the secretary of states office was
covered up by taking out 400 auto
mobile licenses for 1917, was intro
duced today in the trial here.
1T has been the practice for sew
eral years." testified w. +. Edwards
of the state examiners office, the
third witness for the state in its
prosecution, to send out automobile
license blanks two or three months
in advance of the new year. During
November and December of 1915, ap-
proximately 400 of these came back
with the So fee in payment of the
1917 license. The secretary of states
Office deposited these checks without
serial numbers. which they covered
as part of 1915 business. This alleg-
ed deception was not detected by the
Minneapolis auditing company"
Edwards testified.
actually anticipated 1917 business,
Edwards continued, was accepted
as that covering the 1916 tax which
record was kept and in this way a
balance was struck and the accounts
In the secretary of states oftice were
squared"
That for months preceding his ar
rest, Secretary of State Thomas Hall
made a practice of dipping into the
state automobile funds for a forced
loan whenever he chanced to be hard
up, "embezzling to the shame and
disgrace of the state; putting in the
cash drawer in place Of currency
slips and checks that were no good"
that during the months Of 1917 the
secretary of state made statements
under oath-statement after state
ment in which he stated that his Of
hce carried on hand money which
he knew had been embezzled," were
declarations made by Assistant At
torney General Brennan in his open
ing argument for the state in the
Hall case Saturday afternoon.
"A jury was procured late in the
afternoon. 1t consists Of Sam Robin
son, Missouri township; Frank An
derson, Boyd; I. r. Falconer, Lin
coin, and Fred Josephson, Wing, all
farmers; Carl Bredy, carpenter; F.
H. Howell, manager for the Finch

Fred W. Hinsey OF Mont, clerk; Al.
w. Swartz. teamster for the Marshall
Oil Co.; Andreas Risen, photograph-
er, and G. N. Hendrix, agent for the
Standard Oil CO.: all of Bismarck.
Less difficulty was encountered in
procuring jury than anticipated. In
his opening charge, Judge Coffey
called attention to the Importance of
trying the case on its merits; ex-
planned some Of the legal issues in
volved, and insisted that the Jurors
Danish from their minds any inn
pressions they might have formed
from preliminary sparring in the
court or from reports outside the |
court.
