FINAL STAGE OF
MILITARY PROBE
Senate Quizz Takes up Canton
ment Construction in Effort
to Find Something
Wrong.
|EXASPERATED AT BAKER
Secretary Of War Maintained That All
Initial Rush Needs Of the
Army Have Been
Provided.
|EXASPERATED AT BAKER

[By l. C. Martin, United Press Stan
Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-The sen.
ate military probe entered Its dnal
stage today-investigation OF canton
ment construction.
Secretary of War Baker opened
this phase of the inquiry and army
officers will close it next week.
Out of the senate probe which has
been largely a verbal bout between
members Of the committee and heads
of the war department bureaus, num-
erous recommendations may come,
but probably no legislation.
Senator Chamberlain would like to
press to passage his ministry OF
munitions bill. but the president
doesn't think such a post necessary
now.
Committee members are more or
less exasperated at Bakers persist
ence in maintaining that all initial
rush needs of the army have been
provided They believe there has
been much bungling-far too much
red tape and an over-amount OF self
satisfaction in the war department.
l Strong recommendation Will be
made in the committee report for
elimination Of red tape immediate
ly and establishment of a strictly
business administration in the war
department. Amendment to the pres
ent law preventing men in any gov
ernment capacity getting government
contracts will be urged.
The cantonment inquiry is expect
ed to conclude the senate probe.
Criticisms of camp sites resulting in
illness and death were heaped on
Secretary Baker Methods of select
ing the sites and letting the con-
tracts formed the basis of today's
hearings.
Within ten days the committee will
take up the Chamberlain universal
military training bill and probably
recommend it's passage. An amend
ment to the draft law to enroll all
who become 21 each year also will
be proposed from the committee
The committee has before 1t the
bill of Senator Jones of Washington,
providing that the war department
shall arrange for sale of uniforms to
officers at cost, to prevent profteer-
ing at their expense. If Secretary
Bakers newly adopted plan Of hav-
ing this matter handled at the camps
is successful it is unlikely the Jones
bill will be acted upon.
Rake Baker Again.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Senate
military probers today again raked
Secretary of War Bakers claim Of
adequate supplies for Americas sol.
diers.
Instead OF going into cantonment
construction with a view to fastening
an end of the hearings, the committee
put Baker on the grill again today

A CLERK NAMED HILL
The wounded are:
Kearney- Wornall. Kansas City
cashier of the bank.
The robbery and murders TOOK
place between 1880 and O'Clock las'
night. Shortly after O'CLOCK q
regimental sentry patrolling near the
bank heard groans from within. he
entered and saw the bodies lying Oh
the floor. He notified the military
nolice and Captain J. G. Smallwood
acting provost officer, went to the
bank with squad of men.
A Gordon of guards was thrown
about the camp and police IN an
cities within a radius Of 100 miles
notified. =
aff1rming their conviction that nc
soldier was connected with the
crime. but are taking every precau'
ton to prevent any men leaving tne
cantonment. An inspection or all
men and all barracks is being mace.
Police dogs, stationed at the camp
followed the trail Of the men from
the bank to the interurban station
where the trail was lost.
At about the time the crime was
committed, four men were seen going
along the road, one Of them carry
ing a suit case. All were dressed In
civilian clothes and 1t is believed
thew were the men guilty OF the
crimes.
The robbers chose time when
there were fewer chances OF d1scov'
ary than usual. The day had been
the coolest Of the winter at the
camn and there was but little move
ment out of doors. Patrolling had
heen reduced to minimum and it
was probably easy for the robbers
IN enter and leave the bank without
detection.
II was impossible early today to
learn whether the robbers secured a
large amount or not.
II was reported, however, that sev
era1 thousand dollars in cash and
considerable amount of Liberty
honds had been taken.
The bank was a private instltu
tion. the stock owned and controlled

POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT
FIGURES ARE QUESTIC

Washington, May t6.--Post
department estimates and recomn
dations in the matter of proposed i
creased postage for second class ma
matter were presented to the senat
committee on postoffices by John
Rooms, assistant postmaster general,
who asserted that the present cost
of carrying newspapers and periodi-
Gals by mail is from 5.4 cents per
pound within 500 mile zone up to
1872. He conceded that 3.S6 of the
ga costs represented overhead
charges. -
Correctness of the figures W
challenged before the committee b
Senator McKeller as well as by repre-
sentatives of publishers.
George B. McAney, chairman OF
the postage rate committee, of the
American Newspaper publishers as.
sociation, closed the hearing by as.
serting that the departments figures
were questioned, and that the posi-.
bility of getting accurate figures was
small, in view of which facts he sug-
gested that increased rates be de
ferred for at least a year. The wa,
and raising costs of publication,
said, were additional reasons for
lay. IN
