COMMITTEE
 ID HALT MAR QUERY
WISHES TO PUSH NEEDED ARMY PURCHASE LEGfSEATioN-BAK-
 ED TO BE FIRST HEARD.
ElsENMAa DEFENDS WORK
Upholds Supplies Committee and Crit lcized War Departments Purchas- ing System as Handicapped
 By Red Tape.

Washingtoa-In order to quickly press in the Senate legislation which it regards as necessary to improve the army purchasing system, the Sen- ate military committee decided to suspend it's war inquiry after hearing Secretary Baker on war ordnance and supplies.
 MT. Baker was invited to appear Thursday, and when his examination is completed the committee plans to report to the Senate on the progress of it's investigation and recommend legislation which Chairman Chamber lain is expected to outline in the re- port. A bill to create a Department of Munitions with civilian head al- ready has been introduced by Sena- tor Chamberlain, but details of other proposed measures have not been dis closed.
 Examination of Chas. Eisenman, vice chairman of the supplies com mittee of the Council of National De fense, was completed and the com mittee will wind up the clothing branch of it's inquiry later by questioning A. L. Scott of the sur- plies committee and David Kirsch- baum, Philadelphia manufacturer.
 After championing it's bills in the Senate, the committee will return to the inquiry and take up cantonments, aviation and the medical corps and other subjects.
 In his testimony MT. Eisenman de- tended the work of the supplies com mittee, it's policies and personnel and criticised the War Departments pur- chasing system, which, he said, was handicapped by red tape" and the lack of officers trained in business.
 The committee, he said, had saved the government not less than $75,000,- 900 on purchases, and he emphatical- committee had sought advantage through their official positions for companies in which they were finan- cially interested.
 Generalization of authority in the | War Department in making purchases
 
 said, was prime evil of the general | purchasing system. A plan for de- centralization was submitted to Quar- termaster General Sharpe, the wit ress said, and was approved fin spir- lg it but not in practice"
 MT. Eisenman presented new sta- tistics of cloth secured for the army by his committee to substantiate his assertion that an oversupply had been furnished, which claim was not in accord with information previously given the Senate committee by Gen. l Sharpe.
 Nathaniel Stevens of North An dover, Mass, president of the Ma l tional Association of Wool Manufac- 1 turers, testified that the use of shod- dy in army garments has not made | them inferior or less warm. The | shoddy recommendations of the man. ufacturers' committee, which the sup | plies committee approved, were de- signed, MT Stevens said, both to pre- vent shortage of raw wool and to increase production to meet the army's extraordinary needs.

VALUABLE MANGANESE bEPos- ITS BROUGHT TO ATTENTION
 BY GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
HAVE STIMULATED INTEREST
Deposits Have Been Worked Only in d Small Way and Have Produced But a Few Hundred Tons of
 Marketed Ore.
Little Rock.

Little ROCK
 The December issue of the Press Bulletin, issued by the United States Geological Survey of the Departmen, of the Interior, contains the following article on the manganese mines of west-eentral Arkansas:
 "The high prices now offered for manganese ores have stimulated inter. est in the little-exploited manganese deposits of west-central Arkansas, These deposits are found at intervals in belt four to twelve miles wide which extends west-southwest from | Pulaski county, at the center of the state, to Polk county, on it's western border. The recent exploitation of these ores which was begun in 1915 and is still in progress, is confined al most entirely to the mountainous dis tricts in the northern parts of the Caddo Gap and DeQueen quadrangles, in western Arkansas. The deposits have been worked only in a small way and have produced but few hundred tons of marketed ore.
 Ine manganese ores C0HSlSI OL the four oxides, psilomelane, pyrolusite, managanite, and wad, the grst three forming the larger part of the ores. Although these minerals may be found separately two or more are generally intimately mixed in the same deposit, and at some places they are associated with. iron oxides and mangaiferous iron ores. The manganese ores oc- cur as nodules, pockets and short ir- regular veins from fraction of an inch ro four feet thick, though veins four feet thick are rare. The ore bodies are scattered through the hard Arkansas noyaculite and can doubt less be found on every mountain where the novaculite is exposed. They occupy bedding planes of joint cracks or form cement in a novaculite brec- eia in which the rock fragments range in diameter from a fraction of ar inch to over foot. Most of the ores contain too much phosphorus for use in the manufacture of ferromanganese and too much iron for use in chemical industries and electric batteries, an( where the quality is suitable for these purposes the quantity is generally too small for profitable mining

More Small pox.

Reports received at the State Health Department, according to Dr. c. w. Garrison, state health officer, show that smallpox is still gaining. in spite of the efforts being made to enforce compulsory vaccination law. Dr. c. c. Pierce, senior surgeon, Unit ed States Public Health Service, re- ported that the number of cases in Pulaski county in December was Fl, compared with 55 in November. From Grant county report was received that there are 40 cases in Sheridan and 25 near Sheridan. Six cases were reported from Dover and tive from St. Francis county. Similar reports are being received from all sections of the state.
