SOLDIERS NEEDS
PUZZLE CONGRESS
Legislators Favor Special Com
mittee to Report All
Plans for Aid.

Demand is growing in Congress to-
day for creatin OF a special commit
tee to handle all measures proposed
for the purpose Of helping soldiers
and sailors TO get a good start in
/ ire-entering civilian life.
This Is evidenced by the fact that
three resolutions calling for the ap-
pointment OF such a committee have
| been introduced within the last week.
At present, with scores OF bills in
troduced to help the service men, six
committees are considering them,
with the result that ne constructive
, program has been framed, leaders
say.
Much opposition is developing
against the Mondell soldiers land bill.
A considerable number OF Repub-
Iicans are against it, although 1t
bears their leaders name.
Does Net Suit Soldiers.
Congressman Ferris, ranking Demo-
crat on the committee that framed
the bill said today he believed 1t
would not be acceptable to the sol
diers. Ferris said 4 was primarily
a reclamation program, and that sol
diers' organizations are opposing II.

homes seems more acceptable, other
! leaders say.
The plan OF giving a large bonus
will wait until the American Legion
meets in November, and some express
| sion from the soldiers can be obtain
ed All plans to aid the soldiers
must be passed in the face Of a large
deficit in the Treasury.
Ferris believes the special com
mittee should be appointed to present
a composite view of the question:
/ taking into consideration what the
| service men want, what they needA
and the ability OF the Government to
assist and at the same time keep
down its expenditures.
List Of Problems.
He has suggested that the follow
ing subjects be referred 20 the spe-
cial committee he has asked ap-
pointed:
"The civil re-establishment Of all
honorably discharged service men,
including all bills, resolutions or COM
mUnications relating to their voca-
tional rehabilitation; to their educaE
tionaI facilities; to their employment;
to the provision OF credits for rhe
requirement Of homes; for the ap-
preparation Of public lands for their
benefit; or providing additional com
pensation, hospital and sanatorium
facilities. Also. subjects relating to
war risk insurance and compensa-
tion for disabilities"
Ferris asks for the appointment Of
a committee representing all sections
OF the country, TO be composed Of
tWenty-one members.

who, 1t is believed, was kidnapped,

Rud that his picture appears in the
Dctober issue Of a wOman's magazine.
As most OF the recent kidnapping
Eases have been solved through the
revelation that some woman, usually
Ehildless herself, desired the young
ster OF another, IL was thought to-
night that "Billy, the perfect baby"
might have been taken away by just
such a person.
The Dansey baby was so robust a
Eoungster, perfectly formed. that his
record Of development was taken ev-
cry three months and sent to Gov
ernment bureau in Washington.

A committee Of forty neighbors,
militiamen, and returned soldiers
have covered a great deal Of the ter
ritory through the Weymouth swamp

had narrow rubber tires-a rig not
known about this place.
Private detectives also went TO
Pittsburgh on the possibility that one
Of Mrs. DEnsey's former suitors, who,
II Is alleged. threatened to "get even
with her" for his rejection. might
have struck at her through her child.
It was said today that before her
marriage, four years ago. Mrs. Dan
sey had three suitors-one a man Of
wealth, another a poor man, and the
third and successful one Hercules
Dausey.
The poor suitor is the one who, it

PAT GROVE IS
GIVEN POSITION
IN WASHINGTON
Former Convict Whose Campaign
Went On Rocks in Rock Island
Is In Capital

Pat Grove, who two years back
made Rock Island his headQuar-
ters in a campaign which he I'M
dertook to seek congressional leg
islation to recruit units of the
American army from the peniten-
tiaries Of the country, has turned
up in Washington, according to a
dispatch from the capital.
The disptach informs that Pat
has received a Job but the name of
his employer is not disclosed. APP
pended is the dispatch:
Pat Grove Of Chicago, who kid
naped Edward Cudahy's son 20
years ago and later reformed, has
turned up in Washington looking
for a job and has found one
through the Continental Trust COM
pany, this city The name of
Groves employer was not dis
closed"
When Grove came to Rock Is
land two years ago, he inaUsyurated
his campaign to recruit army units
from the prisoners in the peniten-
tiaries. He secured not only the
moral support with signatures on
cial backing as well and many
leading citizens here contributed
funds to assist him in the work.
Grove posed as a reformed con-
yict and through the management
of the Illinois theatre was given
material assistance in putting his
schemes under foot.
1t was during the closing days
OF the saloon in Rock Island, after
the half-mile liquor prohibitOry
zone had been placed around Rock
Island arsenal. and there were
only 40 saloons in the city with
dry territory all around in both
Illinois and Iowa.
Grove was unable TO make good
on his reform completely and the
police picked him up a number of
times on charges of being drunk
and at the start he was released
but when his arrest became an ev-
eryday occurrence, the minions of
the law slapped a few fines on
him.
Went To Springfield.
II was drink that put his cam
paign on the rocks and the scheme
finally died although he made an
endeavor to straighten up before
he left Rock Island and when he
departed from this city he went to
Springfield where he had hoped to
secure endorsement of the Illinois
legislature for his petition to con-
gress.
Nothing ever came of the cam
paign except that some Rock Is
land people were out as much
money as they subscribed to
Grove and after he left Springfield
he was not heard of until the dis
patch today telling of his being in
Washington.
Al any rate. the prisoners in the
penitentiaries remained in during
the war and they didn't get
chance to fight.
