CBy the Associated Press)

TOLEDO, Dec. 20. - Six men armed with shotguns and with the lower parts of their faces covered by bandana handkerchiefs overpower- ed ten guards of the American Rail way Express company early tonight and escaped with a safe containing about $16,OOO in cash and Liberty bonds.
 The holdup took place on Summit street, the city's main business thor oughfare, less than four blocks from police headquarters.
 The express company guards were conveying the safe on a wheelbarrow to a truck in the rear of the store, to taking it to the union station, mile away, for shipment east. When the guards stepped out side the store the six men drove up in two automobiles, beat two of the guards senseless, loaded the safe into one of the machines and escaped.

CBy the Associated Press1

PHOENIX, Dec. 20.-Telesforo
 Robles and Fernando Montjo, TO- Iyear-old boys, were arrested in Mesa this afternoon by United States
 Marshal J. P Dillon on charge of robbing the Mesa postoffice. The marshal said the boys had taken more than $lO,OOO in checks iii money orders from the postoffice in the last three months.
 Their method, according to the marshal, was to open the lock boxes after experimenting sufficiently to discover the combinations and then remove from the mail any money, checks or money orders
 There was nothing to indicate an attempt to cash money orders or checks, the marshal said, but on the contrary they were believed to have been destroyed
 He said the boys were caught to- day in the act of tearing up several hundred dollars worth of checks and money orders He believed the amount Of money they had stolen md kept was comparatively small.

CBy the Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Dee 2G.-Pres- entation of the Fordney emergency tariff bill in the house and decision roi its supporters to cali itup for con sideration "Wednesday was followed today by expressions Of open .antag- oniSm both in the house and senate
 The opposition, hitherto only man ifest to small extent, was intensi- fled by the filing of minority views by Representative Rainey, democrat, oi Illinois, denouncing the measure from beginning to end and by decis- ion of the senate democratic steering committee to resist hasty enactment of any such legislation.
 Chairman Fordney of the house ways and means committee, in re- porting the measure, urged action not because it was perfect but be- cause it was the best obtainable under the circumstances.
 Chairman Fordney submitted with the report estimates of the treasury department showing that on the basis Of available import figures about $l3O,OOO,OOO in revenue would be derived from the duties to be i'm posed under the measure The com mOdities enumerated in the bill now produce less than $5,OOO,OOO annually.

many of the hospitals now owned and operated by the public health service. Some of these hospitals have been owned by the government for years and were used for the treatment of seamen of the merchant marine and other beneficiaries of the service prior to the act which ad- mitted eX-service men of the recent war as beneficiaries. It is presumed that these institutions will be made use of for years to come for these beneficiaries, despite action which congress might take with reference to the beneficiaries of the war risk insurance bureau. It is therefore necessary that these institutions be placed in first class condition. All of the marine hospitals at the pres ent time, with but few exceptions. are of antiquated construction and badly in need of repair. But a few years will elapse before it will be necessary to discontinue entirely the use of these institutions, unless steps are taken to reconstruct and remodel the same to meet with modern ideas of hospital construction and man. agement. Recommendations as to the hospital needs for patients of the bureau of war risk insurance will be presented to congress in separate communication.
 The public health service reiter- ates its firm belief that an adequate hospital construction program should be undertaken by the national gov ernment for the care of ex-service men and women. It is not clear how this responsibility can be adequately met in any other way. It is not believed necessary to go into a very extensive hospital construction pro- gram, but certain consideration should be given to a program sui ficiently adequate to meet the needs of the situation, and this will mean the expenditure of many millions of dollars. It is repeated that the special needs to be met are those Of ex-service men and women suffer ing from tuberculosis and mental disorders. These groups of patients will require treatment for long per iods of time, and their demand is for care and treatment in govern mental institutions

PO|NDEXTER WILL PRESS NON-STR|KE
 BILL, SAYS
CBy the Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Anti-
 strike legislation which has gone a part of the way through congress, got momentary consideration again today in the senate.
 Senator Poindexter, republican. of Washington, whose bill designed to discourage strikes in interstate con- merce, was passed by the senate last week without q word of debate and in an almost empty chamber, but was held from the house by a motion by Senator LaFollette to reconsider, gave notice that he would ask short ly for the removal of the parliament tary barrier. Senator Poindexter said he intended to give the Wiscon- sin senator q full opportunity to bring the reconsideration motion up for debate but if that was not done he would ask the senate to table it and let the bill proceed.
 Senator Robinson, democrat, or Arkansas, protested in behalf of the motion to reconsider, although Sem ator LaFollette, who was in the chamber, did not join in the debate

NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.--Raids by police failed to stop crime waves!
 Thus read headlines in New York city newspapers tonight after what Was described as the first day of the most sweeping roundup of crooks in the history of New York"
 During the day amid numerous minor robberies was listed on police records another murder by gunmen who invaded the Seamen's Mission on the water front and shot and killed one man standing on the street
 But with the roll call in police stations this afternoon were read orders that indicated Commissioner Enright intends to push the round- up to the limit. The first command was for patrolmen to stop and question all pedestrians found be- tween midnight and dawn on unfre- quented streets and if their actions aroused suspicion to search them for arms. The second revoked permis- sion for policemen to take half an hour for meals while on duty. Revo- cation of the meal hour permission came after the board of estimate had postponed until tomorrow fur ther consideration of a request by Commissioner Enright for nearly 800 l more policemen.

Sergeon-General's Report
 BearsOut Winslett's T1Uo
 Main Points on Hospitals

Oddly bearing out exactly what was being argued in Prescott yes terday by F. ]. Winslett and others concerned in a conference between the Vice-commander of the American Legion and local and Whipple Bar racks authorities on the needs of increased disqualification, comes the extract from the annual report of the surgeon general of the public health service, Dr. Cummings.
 In his report, as received yester- day by the Journal-Miner, Dr. Cum mings says among other things that the three present agencies for deal ing with former soldiers should be combined under one head instead oi working at frequent cross-purposes. He says in part:
 Tt is believed to be of the utmost importance that the legal status of the public health service in its war risk work should be firmly establish ed by placing an administrative head over the three major agencies in volved, namely, the war risk insur- ance bureau, the federal board for vocational education, and the public health service, and that these three bureaus should operate there under as coordinate and independent bu- reaus in close cooperation.
 Hospitals Appropriations
 Tn October, 1919, the department submitted to congress a program recommending an appropriation of $85,C00,000 for the construction and acquisition of additional facilities to meet the growing needs of the ser vice in connection with the care and treatment of war-risk insurance bene- ficiaries. Congress in its wisdom. however, deemed it unadvisable to appropriate this money for hospital purposes. Since then, the number of beneficiaries has steadily increased and recent reports indicated that about 10000 patients were, on July l, receiving hospital care from the public health service, as against 1000 when the request was made.
 Tn addition to increasing existing facilities by the construction of new hospitals, it is desired to bring to the attention of congress the djlapi- dated and unsatisfactory condition of

 Dr. John w. Finn, q recognized authority on the study of tubercu- loSis, stated why he had come to Prescott in preference to other To- calities and why he recommended this climate for the treatment of tu- berculosis. In part he said
 There is rather remarkable unanimity of opinion among clinic ians in all parts of the world re- garding the beneficial influence of cold in the treatment of pulmonary In fact this is the one and only element Of climate regard ing the benefits of which all stu dents of tuberculosis agree. In all climates from the arctic circle to the equator the cooler months are inc ones in which tuberculosis patti ents make the most marked inn nrovement
