Baker Announces
Manufacturers Encouraged,
Says Secretary, After
Conference

WASHINGTON, Feb. -Eucourag-
ing reports on progress Of the American
aviation programme were brought to
Washington to-day by representatives
of all the firms building airplanes for
the army. They were summoned by
Secretary Baker for a conference.
"They all are tremendously encour-
aged about the work they are doing"
Mr.. Baker said, after the manufact-
urers had told their stories. He de-
scribed the conference as a ''progress
report" Some of the aircraft and en-
gine builders are ahead of their sched-
ule. he added, some are behind but all
are working with great enthusiasm and
confidence IN the results Of their
labors.
The Secretary said he had summoned
the manufacturers because he wanted
ment officials and with each other and
to feel that "the department is back Of
the producers.'
Major General Squier. chief signal
officer; Colonel Deeds, his chief assist
ant on airplane production, and Chair
man Coffin, Of the Aircraft Production
Board, participated.
No plan for expansion of the exist
ing programme is under contemplation
Mr.. Baker indicated, and he said to-
days meeting was not called because
of any shortage of aircraft with Cen
eral Pershing's forces. He added that
he vas still without confirmation of re
ports Of such shortage.

Recruits Are Wanted
BY 12th, State Guard
Enlargement Of Companies
Makes Open: ing for
Young Mem

There still is an opportunity for
young men of New Yorl. to enlist in
the 18th infantry, State Guard, de-
cision by Colonel Henry Rogers
Winthrop looking toward the enlarge
mcnt of the companies comprising the
unit making possible the recruiting Of
additional members.
In addition to all the traditions OF
the 10Th Regiments which in the past
has acquitted itself with honors both
in war and at home, the officers in
charge OF the recruiting make all cspe-
cial appeal to young men between the
ages OF eighteen and twenty-one years
These youths, they point out, come un-
der the provisions Of the state law max
ing compulsory q certain amount Of
military drill each week. By joining
the 18th Regiment they Will not be
called upon to drill in their schools or
in their places Of employment.
Another advantage to be found by en-
listing in the 10Th is that offered men
within the draft age. The regiment
does not bar such recruits, even though
they may be called to the colors within
a few days after enlistment. Particular
strcss~is put upon the fact that the
training such men would receive under
the New York Guard officers probably
would win them on-commissioned APP
pointments soon after their arrival in
National Army cantonments, and possi-
bly, commissions.
The regiment Will be reviewed by
Governor Whitman in its armory, Slx-

bogus instrument and then made an
affidavit exposing all the details of

W. Myer, q lawyer of this city, who,
it is alleged, dictated the provisions
of the will now denounced, and who
is said to have acted for Miss Ranger.
Robert j. Robson, counsel for Miss
Ranger. told Surrogate Fowler that he
desired to withdraw from the case in
view OF the developments.
Mr.. Ranger died on November Z.

her failure TO prosecute the contest

Ranger moved to have the probate pro

Former Deputy to Dougherty Subpoenaed

Bored, perhaps, with lingering too
long at the Hotel Imperial in search of
evidence against promoters OF the
Partridge Club" John Doc, that in
satiable inquisitor with the contract
on his hands for running gamblers out
Of New York City, suddenly walked
into the Biltmore Hotel yesterday cup
ping his ear for gossip about another
group of gamesters who experience no
trouble getting guests onto the upper
floors of the house when they announce
az their destination, the "Olympus
Club"
For while it looked as though Judge
Wadhams, presiding over tie gambling
inquiry, and Assistant District Attor-
ney James e. Smith, the prosecutor.
would have to surmise that the presG-
ing genius Of the Olympians was no
less god than Jupiter himself and let
it go at that, but after patient work
they succeeded in refreshing the mem
ory of the star witness. with the result
that he finally remembered that the
president of the Olympus Club" was
a DR.. Springle, of Philadelphia.
The reluctant witness was Samuel
Segar, climber merchant" living at
the Algonquin Hotel, who was born in
Wilma, Russia, lived long enough III
London to acquire strong cockney ac-
cent, which hasn't deserted him in the
two years Segar has been living along
Broadway.
Segar was subponaed only a few
hours before he was sworn as d wit
ness in Judge Wadham's court. He
didn't see why he was selected for
that role, but he appeared Modified
when Mr.. Smith started out by ask
ing. him to take the chemin-dc- fer
dealers box seized at the Imperial
Hotel and give demonstration for
the court how chemin- defer was
played. Modestly protesting that he
wasn't an expert, Segar gave a fairly
intelligent demonstra ton, with Judge
Wadhams as one of the players. The
latter indulged in no side bets, but in
stead asked Segar about the latter's
luck when he played with the Part
ridges. Sixteen months ago. the wit
ness said, he lost about 81 800. That
was when the Partridges were drum
ming up players in the Ritz Carlton.
Two nights later, Segar said. he re-
couped about $1,000 of his bad bets.

"Didn't you play chemln defer in
the Biltmore Hotel about six months
ago." suddenly inquired Mr.. Smith.
Segar squirmed uneasily and his
smile forsook him. He replied that he
had, but he didn't see what diff
ference it made. After repeated re-
