SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Aug. 1S.--Of- ficers of the southern department at Fort Sam Houston, tonight were anxi ously awaiting news that Lieutenants Paul H. Davis and Harold c. Peterson, prisoners of Mexican bandits in the canyons south of the Texas Big Bend district had been released upon pay ment of the s15,000 ransom demanded. Major General Joseph T. Dickman, de- partment commander, who has re- mained on duty all last night, was still at headquarters at a late hour tonight. keeping in personal touch with every message relating to the aviators. No official statement, however, was avail able here tonight.
 Officers here familiar with the coun- try south of the Big Bend said today there are numerous box canyons in which the outlaws could hide for weeks. To search all these canyons, they said, would be an endless task for cavalry.
 Late tonight Colonel W. T. Johnston. chief of staff, of the southern depart ment said there were no new develop ments
 While no official of the southern de- partment will make any comment upon the possible developments an atInos phere of preparedness is evident throughout the offices at headquarters.

STATES II ASK CONGRESS F0R
 PUBLIC LANDS
Ceding of Vast Areas In Western C'ommonwealths Will Aid Materially In Reconstruction, Governors Declare In Resolution
 Annual Meet Stars Today
[RspubIIean 4. P. Leassd WIrel

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug 18.-Adop- tion of a resolution requesting con gress to cede the public lands to the states and the formation of an organ ization to urge this action in Wash ington were two important moves made by the governors of western states, who concluded two day con- ference on the pufilic domain question today. Governor O. A. Larrazolo of New Mexico was elected permanent chairman of the League of Public land states, the name adopted for the new organzation. Governor Hamburger of Utah Was elected vice chairman and Edward Everett Young, chairman of the soldier settlement board of New Mexico. secretary treasurer.
 The resolution was presented by Governor Larrazolo who has been the head of the movement and will be the basis of memorial which will be sent to Congress. Governor Larrazolo's resolution unanimously adopted at the closing session follows:
 Whereas government records show that the public hand states contain 225,000,0 900 or more acres of unreserved and unappropriated public lands; and, whereas, reservation and exemption from taxation of such large bodies of land in the respective states by the federal government seriously cripple said states in their efforts toward full development of national resources and internal improvement; and,
 Whereas, the Tublic land states are now facing the most important recon struction and development era in their history, and believing that the indiv- idual states can more economically handle the public lands within their respective boundaries to greater ad vantage to the people, we, therefore,
 Resolve, that it is the sense of this convention that congress be urged and requested to ced,s all unreserved and unappropriated public lands. without mineral or other reservations. to the states wherein the same are respec- lively located"
 Governor Carey presided at the morning session, while Governor Robertson of Oklahoma presided at the afternoon meeting until a per manent organization was effected with Governor Llrrazolo as chairman, Those attending the conference are Governors Larrazolo, Bamberger, Rob ertson of Oklahoma; Carey of Wyom ing; Shoup of Colorado; Frazier of North Dakota. Olcott of Oregon; Campbell of Arizona; F. D. Brown. representing Governor Davis of Idaho, and c. V. Savage, representing Gov ernor Hart of Washington
 The visiting governors who will be- gin their annual conference here to- morrow were given reception tonight at the tabernacle.

War Secretary Says He Did
 Not Wish "Responsibil-
 ity" of Asking Smaller. Force 576,OOO, He Ayers
[RepubIican A. P. Leased WIrel


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S-Secretary Baker defended today before the sen ate sub committee on military affairs 1is recommendation for an army of 576,O00 men by saying that in view of the disturbed conditions in the orld," he did not wish the "responsi- ty of asking for small force.
 Secretary Baker indicated severai times that the bill as presented in- clUding it's provision for compulsor, uniyersay military training for 1e- yesr-old youths was that of military zperts rather than his own although it had his approval. He said that his oNn guess" was that an army of j76,0O0 was perhaps somewhat larger thar necessary but tfat he did mt %lsh to take the po,s.ibiiity of O. posing the opinion of the country's greatest military men
 Regarding the provisions for mai1- tehance of three divisions in the iG- suiar possessions the secretary admit tel that the force appeared to hi,n somewhat large and agreed to the sug- gestion of Senator Wadsworth of Neu Ycrk, that native .rooys might be us- sc. to advantage
 The secretary also considered as worth while suggestion that part of the youth of the country might be given the opportunity for naval train ing, possibly as a substitute for train- Ing he otherwise would receive in the Tmy.
 Interrogation of the secretary offered he opportunity for securing his op- nion on the proposed establishment of an air ministry. Senator New of Indiana, presented arguments for the separation of the military and naval aeronautics but Secretary Baker was frank in his declaration of opinion that st would make for inefficiency. Difficulty woul abe experienced. Mr Baker said, in maintaing the proper coordination under separate heads and II more adequate air service is de- sired, he suggested, it would be more practicable to utilize the existing mil itary organizations. The testimony de- veloped that the United States now has 10.71S airplanes of which. how ever, only 6.32S are service planes. The major part of the present equip ment now is obsolete but, it was as serted by the secretary, the types se better than any in Europe.
 The secretary said that if the gov erhment wished to develop the air industry either for commerce or for war purpose the solution was simple merely spend the money to buy more planes.
