MAY VISIT CANToNMENTS

Washington, August 9.-(Special Sub
committees of the House committee on
military affairs may in the immediate fu-
ture visit the several cantonments and
National Guard camps situated in south
ern territory.
The suggestion that this plan of proce-
dure be put into effect came from Repre-
sentative Crago of Pennsylvania. Mr..
Crago is not southerner, but he Is a
Spanish-American war veteran, and a
man who does not believe that in every
particular the administration is influ-
enced and guided by politics.
Representative Dent of Alabama. chair
man of the military committee, looks with
special favor on the suggestion of Mr..
Crago.
1.-THE only obstacle in the way said
Mr.. Dent this morning" is lack of avail
able funds by means of which to finance
the tours of inspection. l do not believe
that the contingent fund of the House
for this purpose could be drawn upon
However. it Is regarded as probable that
the members would be willing to pay
their own expenses.
Should subcommittee be named to
visit southern camps, they will be com
posed in the main of northerners. There
Is no question but that the verdict of fair
Investigators would be one sustaining the
war department in its conclusion that for
climatic reasons, the south is superior to
any other section of the country for
troop mobilization and training"
The Crago suggestion will be given con-
sideration by the committee in its ses-
sions this week.

that the local board will Immediately send
out calls for more of the registered men.
Out Of the 1s6 who have been examined,
a very few have passed the physical ex-

claims. 1t is estimated that $50 more
men will be called to secure enough men
to fill Butler countys first quota, which
is 90 men, unless large number of ex-
emption claims are not upheld by the
board.

MRS. DE SAULLES
ALLOWED TO SEE
HER LITTLE SON
Child Romps and Plays
About Jail Room While
Mother Weeps-Will
Come Again

Mineola, N. Y, August s.--Little Jack
De saulles, the 4-year-old boy for whose
custody Mrs. Blanca De Saulles shot
and killed her divorced husband, John
Longer De Saulles spent an hour with
his mother in her room at the Nassau
county jail here late today The visit
was unexpected by the mother, who has
been asking for the child almost in
cessantly since her arrest.
Mrs. De Saulles and her son were left
to themselves and the child romped
about the room when his mother was
not holding him in her arms. She wept
when the time for parting came, but
was considerably cheered by assurances
from Jail attaches that the visit would
be repeated. The boy was brought by
two private detectives from the home
who was a business associate OF his
father, and whose wife is an aunt of
the slain man. Information as to who
arranged the visit could not be OBJ
tained. Henry T. Uterhart, counsel for
Mrs. De Saulles, declared he knew moth
ing Of it until the child arrived at the
Jail.
DR.. Guy F. Cleghorn. county physi-
clan, reiterated today his statement
that Mrs De Saulls is seriously ILL
She must show considerable improve
ment, he said, before she can be
brought to trial She is suffering from
malady the nature of which has not
been determined and DR.. Cleghorn said
an X-ray examination would be made.
The coroners inquest into the death
of De Saulles, which started here to-
day, was adjourned until August 16.
Efforts to find Susanna Monteau, Mrs.
De Saulles' maid, who accompanied her
mistress on the night OF the tragedy,
were unsuccessful up to the time of
adjournment. District Attorney Weeks
announced, however, that he would
question Miss Monteau in the presence
of Mr.. Uterhart in his office tomor-
row. Mr.. Uterhart declared that Miss
Monteau was in the Jail, not more than
rs feet from the room in which the
hearing was held, while officers were
searching for her.
The visit of Jack De Saulles to
his mother was decided on at con-
ference of the De Saulles family, at
tended by Maj. Arthur De Saulles
father of the slain man. and Charles
De Saulles, a brother. according to a
statement given out by the family to-
night.

Problem of Securing Low
Prices on Purchases of the
Allies Is Looming
Up Large

Washington, August 9.-The govern
ments war purchasing programme
was gone over in detail today by the
new war industries board. 1t calls for
an elimination Of excessive profits on
war materials sold to the American
and the allied governments and con-
templates protection for the American
people against extortionate charges.
At a morning session Herbert
Hoover, who will sit on the boards

the afternoon the board conferred at
length with Col. l. w. Little. in charge
of the construction of army canton
ments.
MANY PROTESTS RECEIVED
One subject given especial consid-
GRAFTON today. was that of compelling
American producers to sell war sup

OPINION DIVIDED
Officials are divided In their opin-
ions as to whether the government can
enforce the plan respecting allied pur-
chases without the support of addi-

The hope of the war board, which

brought over through negotiations
and that no new laws will be required

Congressional Visitation

Washington, August 9-(Special.) -Be~
prohibitionists in the accepted meaning
of that term, favored on account of their
desire that Congress be freed from con-
slant source of irritation. the submission
of the proposed prohibition amendment
to the constitution, the prohibitionists
were enabled to carry their point.
Despite the action OF the Senate-made
possibly by the votes of such anti-radi-
Gals as Bankhead, Knox, Harding and
Stone-the prohibitionists of the House,
perhaps of the country, are dissatisfied.
Mr.. Randall of California, the prohibi-
ton boss of the House, believes that the
amendment as enacted by the Senate
contains Joker" He has reference to
that cluass which would render the
amendment imperative should its adop-
ton by three-fourths of the states require
period longer than six years
POUTING OF RANDALL
1t is his point that If more than six
years is required, the amendment, never
theless, would be Incorporated in the con-
stitution, there to remain ad infinitum,
imperative.
While the point is regarded as rather
strained, technical point the prohibition
lists are said to be Infatuated in that Sem
ate dry leaders permitted Senator
Harding and others to put one over on
them" Nevertheless, 1t is a safe predic-
ton that next December the House prohi-
bitionists will accept what they term
half loaf" rather than send the amend
ment back to the Senate.
For in December, the prohibitionists
might not find the anti-prohibitionists as
amenable as they were found to be some
days ago
