Trowbridye, who alleges the trio
rolled" his S-year-old son Donald
for So, by getting him to participate
In a framed" wrestling match.
Young Trowbridge was persuaded to
engage In q bout with Busting in the
alley In the rear Of the Casino
theater. During the progress of the
match and while Busing hold his
opponent down, the money was to be
taken from the latter's pocket without
his knowledge. Busting, 1t is said by
the boys, framed" the job and asked
the older lads to participate.
The original plan failed because
Trowbridge threw Busting. and 1t be-
came necessary for the larger boys to
assist. They grabbed Trowbridsc
from Busting and while doing SO one
OF the boys took the money from
Trowbridge's pocket. In municipal
court Thursday Busting and Louthan
told Of the bout and it's outcome.
Busing said he knew that Trow-

LEAVES OUT CLAUSE
FOR WAR TRAINING
Military instructions Provisions
Are Excluded From Army Bill
by Bipartisan Vote.

Washington.-Meet the demand
of leaders, the House Military Com
mittee by a bipartisan vote refused
to include universal military training
in the Army Reorganization bill, for
mally reported by Chairman Kahn.
Sharp opposition to the reorganization
program is assured.
In rejecting immediate considera-
ton of the training plan the committee
voted that it should become the sub
ject of separate legislation to be franz
ed by a subcommittee of seven named
by Mr.. Kahn, with an agreement of
the leaders that it's consideration
would not be blocked after thorough
inquiry has been made of the cost and
economic effects. This investigation is
expected to delay action on the ques-
ton until the next session.
With this temporary disposal of uni
versal training, the committee voted 10
to to report the Reorganization bill,
providing for a maximum peacetime
army of 17,700 officers and $4,000 en-
listed men, including the Philippine
scouts and unassigned recruits. UD-
like the national defense act of 1916,
which the new bill would amend, no
definite tactical formation of the army
is prescribed, this being left discretion
airy with the President. This feature
is among the principal causes of the
sharp opposition by the minority.
Supporters of universal training
plan to offer amendments to force
house action on the. question, but OPP
ponents of the scheme hope to frus-
trate these attempts through parlia-
mentary tactics Although the separate
training bill was ordered prepared "at
the earliest practical date" even its
supporters were doubtful of considera-
ton for months.
Republican leaders opposing the
plans appearance in the army bill
included the members of the Legislative
Steering Committee, who based their
objection principally on the ground
that action should be deferred until
the party's stand was outlined by its
national convention in June.

CAMBRIDGE COLBY new
SECRETARY OF STATE
Appointment of Former Republic
can, Who Helped Found Bull
Moose Party, a Surprise.

Washington.-In sending to the SEN
ate the nomination of cambridge
Colby of New York to succeed Robert
Lansing as secretary of state, Presi-
dent Wilson created a sensation in
political circles that approached that
caused by his dismissal of Mr.. Lam
sing. The reaction in Congress and
elsewhere was unfavorable to the
Presidents choice for what is re-
garded as the most important place
in his Cabinet, but there is nothing
to indicate that such opposition to Mr..
Colby as has developed will result
in failure of the senate to confirm the
nomination.
The opposition, or more properly
criticism of, Mr.. Colby is partly based
on Mr. Colby's frequent changes of
party utilization. In addition, there is
general feeling of disappointment
over the failure of the President to
appoint Frank L. Polk, now acting Sec
rotary of state.
Mr.. Colby appeared at the executive
offices with Raymond 7. Baker, di-
rector of the mint, few minutes after
Mr.. Tumulty had told newspaper men
that Mr.. Colby would be nominated
for secretary of state. Mr.: Tumulty
escorted Mr.. Colby to the White
House, where they found President
Wilson on the rear portico. The Presi-
dent and Mr.. Colby chatted for an
hour
Mr.. Colby left the Republican party
in 1912 to follow Roosevelt. When
Charles E. Hughes candidacy on the
Republican ticket was Endorsed by
Roosevelt in 1916 Mr. Colby refused
TO follow his old chief and came out
for Wilson.
Mr.. Polk has asked the President
several times to accept his resignation
on account of his health, and it had
been understood that he would retire
from the state department in a few
months. 1t is assumed that he will re-
main as under secretary of state until
early summer.
