BIASED
Before Senate Committee
FORMER Judge Advocate
Says Bar Investigators
Were "Hand-Picked."

Washington. Aug. 29.-Fostering OF
unfair and prejudiced investigation OF
army courts martial practices through
packed" bodies of inquiry, were
charged to Secretary Baker and Judge
Advocate General Crowder today by
Samuel T. Ansell former acting Judge
advocate general.
Resuming his statement before the
senate military subcommittee, Mr.
Ansell declared that the inquiries made
by the American Bar Association, In
spector General Chamberlain OF the
army tribunal headed by Major Gen
eraI Herman were .biased'' and that
recommendations in favor of the ex-
listing court martial procedure were a
foregone conclusion
"They indicate the desperate efforts
of the war department to bolster up
the present system" he said.
The American Bar Association COM
mittee. Mr.. Ansell asserted, was hand
picked and stacked, with men known
to support the position of Mr. Baker
and General Crowder. Its investiga-
ton, he said, was unfair and was
closed without calling any of long
list of witnesses he suggested. Army
officers testifying in support of the
present system, he added, had their
expenses to Washington paid, while
witnesses he suggested were warned
that they would have to pay their own
way and then were not given an op-
portunity to testify.
.If Secretary Baker had designedly
sought to appoint most reactionary
he could not have improved
upon his selection" he said, referring
to the Herman board
Because he regarded the board as
he did not submit his views
on military justice reforms The boards
report he added, made statements in
defense of existing army court prac-
tices which the war department previ-
ously "was afraid to make" and 1T was
a pproved, '.in toto" by Secretary Baker.

Price Peak Reached Say
Governors and People
Should Not Buy What
They Do Not Need.

Washington, Aug. 29.-New impetus
was given the governments campaign
to reduce the cost of living at a con-
ference here today between Attorney
General Palmer and a committee of
six governors representing the Ma
tional Conference of Governors, which
assured the closest cooperation be-
tween federal and state authorities to
restore normal prices, and bring hoard :
ers, and profiteers to justice The
committee announced that one OF the
things necessary to lower prices was
for all the people to work to increase
production and to economize. The
committee endorsed the attorney gem
erals suggestion for sfAir prices COM
mittees to be formed in each state.
Results of the conference here will
be communicates to every governor by
Miles c. Riley. secretary of the ma
tiona1 conference. along with certain
other recommendations "One of the
most important things to be done is
to convince the people that prices are
rot going higher" Riley said. "Presi-
dent Wilson has said it is apparent the
cost of living has reached the peak,
but in spite of the situation we are
facing, merchants everywhere are out
with advertisements about high prices
next year and urging people to buy all
sorts of things now. Most of that is
just plain propaganda. Prices will not
be higher il people are not stampeded
into purchasing things they don't need
or can do without and we are going
to tell them so. If we can convince
them. the victory is won"
