pledging themselves to show a sub
stantial increase in the value of such
classifications of land in 1920 over the

terest to many Albuquerqueans was
that which took place yesterday
afternoon at o'clock when Elias
S. Slower was welded to Miss Mar
garet Gearing of San Diego, Calf,
by the Rev. c. O. BecHman, at the
Methodist parsonage. GovernCi

Old, and his bride is CO. Governor
Slower has been widower for
eighteen years. The marriage

Miss Gearing arrived in Albu-
querque from California yesterday
morning and was met at the train
by Govern Slower He refused
to discuss his plans. but Miss Gear
ing did '!ut deny x wnen questioned
Whether the rumor that she was to
be married was true. She declined
to say when the ceremony would
be, however. About $3.50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon marriage
license was issued to the couple,
and the marriage took place short
~ afterwards in the presence of
Governor Stover's nephew, C. Q.
Cushman.
An Extensive Traveller.
Miss Gearing made her home in
Albuquerque for four years at one
time, but left here fifteen years
ago. She taught in Colorado for
twenty years. She was one of the
first presidents of the Albuquerque
Woman's club. which she helped
organize. she managed the Casa

cept on account of i'll health.
Miss Gearing has travelling extern
sively, and was four years before
the war in Europe: she lived in st.
Petersburg, Rome, Paris, and other
great cities. She. and a young boy
whom she had taken with her to
educate, were in London at the out
break of war and were forced to re-
turn to this country. 1t is said that

WAR Department
IS IN WRANGLE
WITH THE HOUSE
Dispute Arises Over Amount
of Money to be Approprl-
ated This Year for Mill
tary Purposes.

washington, Dec. "A, - SndIl
conflict between congress and the
war department over the amount
of money to be appropriated this
year for the military establish
ment developed today at the initial
meeting of the house sub-commit-
tee to draft the 1922 army appro-
priation bill
Representative Anthony of Kan
sag, chairman Of the sub-commit
tee, predicted that the army APP
preparation for the coming fiscal
year would be cut approximately
to $500, 600, 900 He advocated re-
striction of the size of the army 20
$4,000 enlisted men, abandonment
of half of the camps maintained
by the war department. and imme-
date sale of the army's surplus
supplies.
Secretary Baker and Major Gen
eral March, chief of staff, appear
ing before the committee, urged
the appropriation this year of APP
proximately $500, 000,0 900 for army
expenses. The war department was
allowed $392,0OO.000 for the pres
ent year.
Bakers Estimate.
Secretary Baker estimated that
the war department would incur
a deficit of sixty million dollars
during the present year. or this
amount, he said, $3S,000,0 900 will
be needed for the pay of enlisted
men. Chairman Anthony, how
ever, said members of the commit
tee were convinced the war de-
partments deficiency would total
at least S100,000,000. The war de-
partment secretary was asked to
submit a report showing what
camps We're being maintained and
for what purpose they We're being
used.
1--WE must close at least half of
our camps, particularly those To-
Gated in more remote districts
which cannot be kept up as
cheaply as those closer to sup
plies" Mr.. Anthony said. 1T has
been shown that it cost much more
to maintain troops on the MeNi
can border than at centralized
posls. The committee. for the
sake of economy, Intends to pro-
vide for the withdrawal of many
of the troops now on the border.
Policy of Committee.
Another policy of the commit
tee, Mr.. Anthony indicated, would
be to provide for the full strength
maintenance of only two divisions
instead of nine, as the war de-
Dartment faVors.
The remaining divisions would
be maintained in skeletonizeG
form and would be increased to
full strength only in emergencies.
May Sell Motor Trucks.
Immediate sale of between 3d.
600 and 10000 motor trucks now
held in reserve was said by Mr.
Anthony to be favored By the
committee.
Secretary Baker, in reply to
question, said the army at present
consisted of approximately 216,-
600 enlisted men and $4,000 Of
ficers.

committee have charged the war
