Bills Introduced Giving
Highest Ranks to Per-
shing, Sims and Benson,
Omitting Name of March
Not Permanent Grades
Offices Would Cease to
Exist on Retirement or
Death of Incumbents

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Evidence
ideRt Wilson's recommendations con-
corning Generals Pershing and March
and Admirals Sims and Benson was
disclosed to-day.
A bill authorizing the President to
appoint General Pershing a permanent
general in the army for the remainder
of his life, but emitting the name of
General Peyton C. March, chief of
staff, was introduced in the House by
Representative, Britten, of Illinois.
Il am convinced" said Representa-
tive Britten, chat the American pub
lie feels that General Pershing has
contributed no small part toward the
successful conclusion of the war with
Germany, and that he is really one Of
the foremost military men of the pres
ent generation
II have purposely avoided including
the name of General March in my
bill because of the late hour he came
into the foremost position in the War
Department on this side of the water,
and really do not believe that he has
Hdu All OppOi tulilly W JUSTLY SOu-
gressional action in his favor. Con-
gressional action should come only
after such military endeavor as to
leave no question about the recipient s
wor.hiness.'
Another indication of the temper Of
the House was revealed in bill intro
duced by Representative Butler, of
Pennsylvania, and referred to the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs. 1t would make
both Admiral Benson and Admiral Sims
permanent admirals in the navy, not
to be placed upon the retired list ex-
cept upon their own application, and
their offices to cease to exist when
ever vacated by death or otherwise.
Chairman Kahn, of the House Mill
tary Committee, said to-day that Con-
gress will recreate the permanent rank
of general in the army and leave the
designation of the officers. to have that
rank to President Wilson, subject to
Senate approval To carry out Mr.. Will
sons recommendation that General
Pershing be given precedence, two sepa-
rate bills will be reported.

Net1 York Tribune

WASHINGTON, July ia bill d.
recting the Bureau of War Risk In
surance to establish branch offices in
each state, and also in Alaska, Hawaii,
Porto Rico and the Philippines, has
been introduced in the House of Rep
resentatives by Albert Johnson, Of
Washington, with a view to carrying
out one of the recommendations of
the Hughes advisory committee for
the betterment and increased efficiency
of the bureau.
The advice of the committee in re-
gard to branch Offices was taken in
virtually would be divided into IS
many parts as there are states and
territories, and that there would re-
main but little of the great organiza-
ton, with it's $4,000 employees, at
Washington.
1t was learned to-day that such a
disintegration Of the organization was
neither advised nor contemplated. The
idea of the advisory committee was
that as the War Risk. Bureau is simply
the greatest insurance business in tho
world it should profit by the exper-
fence Of other insurance enterprises
Congress, however, created a great IN
surance business without giving it the
right to establish branch Offices and
have representatives corresponding to
the state and local agents of life in
surance companies.
The bureau was expected to admins
ter it's tremendous business on the
mail order principle, and it has been
found that it cannot work that way.
Close and personal contact with the
policy holders is necessary in order
to carry on the ordinary relations
satisfactorily. and the advisory COM
mittee thinks that without what
amounts to an agency force it will be
found impossible to keep up any large
part Of the $40,000,0O0, 900 Of insurance
written on the lives Of the soldiers
during the war. In fact, $3o,ooo,ooo,-
900 Of this insurance, or more than
all the life insurance now in force in

IS ENMESHED IN
TIGHT LEGAL NET
Car of Base Ball Must Prove
In Court He Has No Finan-
CiaI Interest In Cleveland

New York, Aug. 14.-At a special
meeting of the board of directors

WILHOIT MAKES
ONE HIT IN EACH
CAME, BUT SPLITS
Wichita Wins First Game,
After Eleven Innings Of Hard
Playing, But Locals Have
WalkaWay Later.

Advar cling to the plate FIVE times,
without the semblance of hit, Will
holt, the Wichita center fielder, is
offering thanks to his lucky stars
for allowing the first game
of the double header to 60 II
innings. With Shortstop Berger on
second, decidedly i'll, since the two
following batsmen had gone out,
mighty Joe stepped up with a bit
OF grin and politely walloped the
pill over the right field wall for a
homer.
Those two runs won the game for
Wichita. The score was knotted in
the ninth at three each, and the tie
wasn't loosened any in the tenth,
Then came the fateful eleventh and
the Without hit, the only one he had
during the game, but it was a
Seauty, good for four ordinary sim
giles and, besides, scoring a runner
n advance of him.
Pitcher Fuhr of the Rourkes had
40 fear of Wilhoit and, despite ap-
peals repeatedly from the grand
stand to walk him, he made the
Wichita walloper hit the ball. Only
once was he on base and that was
on an error by Barbeau in the fifth
inning. Fuhr pitched wisely and
we'll and should have won the game.
His only bobble was when he let a
wild one tear loose too close to
Catcher Yaryan, and it stretched the
backstop senseless on the ground.
He undertook to resume the game,
but was unable to play, and Bowman
was sent in TO run for him.
With Yaryan out of the game.
Newasha came in from right field
and donned the pad and mask. Bow
man took the Indians position in
the right garden.
The second game was walkaway
for the locals, the boys just tatten-
ing their batting averages at the
expense of Norman. Eighteen hits
counted for IS runs. Eleven of the
IS were for extra bases. Burk held
the visitors helpless before him, al
lowing seven hits and three runs.
Again Without was forced to wait
until his last time at bat to get his
hit. In the eighth inning, on his
fourth trip to the plate, he led OFT
with a hard-hit ball that Rugged the
ground in such fashion that it didn't
travel fast. Graham on third base
made a rush for the ball, but when
he saw but slim chance of getting
the runner, he showed rare sports
manship and refused to make play
for the hitter.
Without scored on two singles toll
lowing his, but it was last spasm
and when the smoke of battle
cleared away, the Omaha club was
the victor by "a l5-to-5 count
Pitchers Fuhr and Burk held the
Wichita demon batter to only one
hit in each game, and Fuhr,s per
Torrance was especially credltable.
The game had gone well over the
regulation nine innings before. he
allowed the famed batter to land on
one.
There will be no game today, but
Joplin will be here Saturday and
Sunday for three games, two OF
Them to be played Sunday. Scores;

Marine Marksman Sets
New Mark for Speed
and Consecutive Hits

Caldwell, N. J., Aug. IA rec
ord OF IS consecutive "bull's-eyes"
at 900 yards, without telescope
sights, was made here today by
Corp. Clarence P. Kennedy of the
marine corps rifle range detach-
ment, Quantico, Va, in the men,
bers' match of the National Rifle
association. Although perfect
score consisted of only 10 bulls
eyes,, Kennedy continued shooting
until he made -four" on the s46th
shot. He averaged three shots a
minute, speed record for the
match.
Continued bad shooting weather
and rain squall which blew up dur
ing the second relay, caused 200
contestants to drop out. Ten of
the 400 remaining entrants made
perfect scores, and nearly all con-
tinued shooting in the hope of pass
ing the high mark made by Ken
nedy. But the nearest approach
was II conservatives, scored by ].
w. Hession of the New York Ath-
letic club team, who won second
place.

New York. Aug. l4.-The New

comeback here today, winning both
games of a double-header.
The first game was a pitchers

Benton started off as the New

but was put off the field in the third
by Umpire Quigley after attacking
Luque. The Giants accused Luque
of pitching a bean ball and there
had been some hot words. Benton
sacrificed to Luque on a squeeze
play. In making the putout Luque

Benton took several punches at the
Cuban. Most of the other players
got involved. After order was re-
