HOUSE PROPOSES TO REDUCE ARMY
 TO 100000 MEN
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Storm warnings went up in the house today over proposals of the appropriations committee to cut the regular army down to 150,000 men.
 The appropriation bill making pro- vision for that number during the next fiscal year was reported by Chairman Anthony of an appropriations sub committee; but it was indicated that Republican members of the military committee planned to fight it out on the floor. Several members asserted their unwillingness to accept further reduction below the 175,00o figure fixed by the house and senate recently in a resolution which reached the White House today for consideration of the president.
 Under the resolution, which directs recruiting be stopped until the present enlisted strength of more than 100000 gets down to 175,000. the army would not reach the lower strength in the normal course before next September. The proposed cut to 150,000, however, would presumably leave the war de- partment without funds or authority to maintain a force in excess of that number after June 30.
 There was speculation among army officials today as to what action Presi- dent Wilson would take on the 175,000 resolution. In some quarters it was thought he might let 1t go back to con- gress without his signature to become a law at the expiration of ten days 1 expressing dissent to the plan in that way. It was admitted, however, that no indication had been seen as to the attitude of Mr. Wilson. Chairman Kahn of the military committee said | he believed 1t would be a mistake to cut the army below 175,000 at this time
 In reference to Representative An thony's statement yesterday that Pres | ident- elect Harding favors the 150, ,00O | figure, Representative Kahn said that in his conference he got the impression that MT. Har1ing regarded that step as advisable ultimately but not at once

IRepubIIcan n. P. Leased WIrel


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-Resolu- tions before the senate foreign rela- tions committee proposing measures to extend American trade with Russia were assailed today by Senator King. Democrat, of Utah, in an extensive address in the senate
 There is propaganda to deceive the American people," said Senator King denying that there were any obstacles against individual Americans trading with Russians. Any Russian, MT. King declared. was also free to go to Russia so far as American restrictions were concerned.
 T wish many who are agitating for recognition of the Russian soviet would go to Russia; We would be glad to get rid of them" the Utah senator added
 Senatcr King denounced the soviet al length aud had several lively clashes with Senator France. Republican, of Maryland, author of the Russian trade resolution.
 Mir. France said he had seen a con tract yesterday obtained, he explained. by a reputable New York merchant for the purchase of $6,000 900 worth of American tools and agricultural i'm plements for which the Central Co., operative society of Russia had agreed to lay down gold in New York. Be- cause the New York mint officials re- fused to mint the Russian gold. the contract could not be executed, Sena- tor France added.
 Senator King said the Russian soviet government had stolen" great quanti- ties of gold and the government here was justified In refusing to mint gold the ownership of which was doubtful.

 Two Month Voyage
LRepubIlcan A. p. Leased WIre]

NEW YORK. Jan 2S.-The mystery of the Belgian cargo steamship Can nonier, which was reported in distress on Wednesday and later reported safe, was cleared up today when the skipper steered her into port here and related a tale of two months hardships, sick ness and alleged mutiny.
 The ship sailed from Bordeaux on November 22 and was battered by gales and heavy seas every hour of the voyage. A week ago, running short of coal, Captain Nicolas said, they put in at Bermuda to re-stoke. Three fire men were taken i'll and had to be left there. After sailing again five sailors were alleged to have refused to budge from their hunks end all responsibility for running the ship, therefore, de- volved upon the skipper. his mate and three officers.
 On Wednesday, during the heaviest storm of the voyage. the engines went dead. The wireless apparatus long since had been out of commission. Late in the afternoon. however. the engines were repaired and they began to make progress for the first time in 24 hours.
 Upon his arrival Captain Nicolas re- ported the alleged mutinyq of the fiv, sailors, who are Frenchmen, to tho ! Belgian consulate. Action agains'
 them. however, was reserved, pending ! investigation of international law de ! lining their status.

DTn0nRIIT nT 'tss. IRISH REPUBL|C
 FAILS IN HOUSE
Republican A. P. Leased WIrel


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s. Indirect recognition of the Republic of Ire land' was knocked out in the house today on a point of order
 During consideration of the diplo- matic appropriation bill, Representa- tive Mason, Republican of Illinois, member of the foreign affairs com mittee, offered an amendment provid- ing a salary of $10,00o for & minister to Ireland. Instantly half a dozen rep resentatives were on their feet
 Chairman Rogers. of the sub b-com- mittee on appropriations in charge Of the bill, challenged the right of the house to include such an amendment, on the ground that it was without authority of law and that there had been no executive recognition of Ire land.
 Before the point was sustained by Representative Towner. Republican of Iowa, presiding, Mir Mason declared the question out of policy with re- spect to Ireland should be determined by congress on it's merits and not on a parliamentary point As the appro- priation, if authorized. would not be available until July, Reresentative Connally, Democrat of Texas, also a member of the foreign affairs com mittee, asked if MT. Mason had any indication or assurance that MT. Har- ding would designate a minister.
 T have no promises, but I have hopes" MT. Mason replied. We all know however. that President Wilson IS not inclined to favor recognition"

Banker Says British
 Policy of Deflation Is Not Practicable
TRepubiican A. p. Leased NhfIre


 LONDON. Jan. 2S = Reginald Me- kenna, former financial secretary for the treasury, presiding at d general meeting of the London Joint City and Midland Bank, Ltd, of which he is di- rector and chairman, said the govern ments proposed deflation policy, in- volving dear money and rigid restric- tion of credit was impracticable.
 Permanent monetary deflation. said MT. McKenna, could be accomplished only by a reduction of the purchasing power. which would necessitate a de- crease in the amount of the great war loans outstanding Curtailment of the war loans, in turn, would be contin- gent upon paying part of the na- tional debt. This payment, he added, could not be made by additional taxa ton, but my economizing expenditures
 Discussing the government deflation plan. the former secretary said:
 Any attempt at deflation of this kind would only end in the stranguIa- ton of.business and in widespread un- employment. Any premature attempt at monetary deflation by methods that do not touch the causes which pro- duced imitation must lead to disaster
 The kind of deflation to be aimed at continued the chairman, should be ef- fected by increasing the amount o, commodities available for purchase without any increase of purchasing power. No real commercial prosperity however, could be seen until the Euro pean market was restored and the eco. | homie restoration of Europe should bt England's first concern.
 Once the European governments ac- cept the peace conditions, declared MT McKenna, they will be able to brins their expenditures down to the limits prescribed by their revenues, issue o, paper currency will cease. exchange: will become stable. confidence will re. vive and full employment will follow after which will come Engand's ma. tional prosperity

NEW OBSTACLE
 BLOCKS PASSAGE GF TARIFF BILL BY SENATE EDDY
Chances Of Measure Com ing To Vote Growing Less Each Day Consideration Is Blocked By Opponents
IRepubIIean A Q. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON Jan. 2S.-Consider- alton of the Fordney emergency tariff bin was delayed i'm the senate again today and new rocks appeared fin it's path.
 With filibustering openly charged. leaders of both sides declared that the chances of the measure coming to a vote fin this session were gradually growing less. Another session of varied discussion is scheduled for tomorrow, but it is planned now to turn to the big appropriation bills when the sen ate convenes Monday. Once the tariff legislation is displaced. advocates of the bill admit it will be difficult to get it up for consideration again.
 The consideration given the tariff at todays session consisted of a speech by Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, on Russian trade which occupied al- most the entire afternoon and con- tained only occasional references to tariff matters and brief exchanges con- corning the meaning of Senator Pen roses cloture petition which was cir culated yesterday.
 Tho open charge of filibustering was made by Senator Ashurst, Democrat, e Arizona, following a coloquy be- tsreen Senator Thomas. Democrat, of Colorado, and Senator Penrose relative 10 insinuations of a filibuster. The Pennsylvania senator assured Mir. Thomas that he had not intended by circulating his petition to insinuate that a filibuster had been organized.
 Senator King then began the speech on Russian trade but was interrupted by Senator McCumber, Republican, of North Dakota, who suggested that the tariff was the subject technically be- fore the senate. The latter mentioned the references made to a filibuster and MT. Ashurst broke in with the exeIa- nation; "l do not insinuate that there is filibuster. ] charge t."
 The accusation, however, failed to .interfere with Mir. Kings speech and Alr more than five hours he discussed
 lssia, its government, it's people, it's kade and internal conditions and the prCspects of establishment of a perma- nent republic. His discussion there after was interrupted only when Sena- tor France Republican. of Maryland engaged with him in a debate over actions of the soviet government.
 When tho senate recessed. Senator King announced that he had much more to say tomorrow and it was un- derstood also that several other sena- tors were preparing to speak on sub 1ects not closely related to tariff ques- tions. This prospect was said by lead CTS to mean the hastening of action or the plan to lay aside the Fordney bil and dispose of the many measure. which have come over from the house

 The court granted purchasers of tue Toau, Wno were representatives of the Western Pacific, 3 days in wIich to file an answer to the affidavits and a similar period to both sides fin which to file briefs showing the value and | indebtedness of the road.
 Mir Webster announced that after the briefs had been filed he would in- stitute proceedings fin the district court at Denver to have set aside the judg- ment granted the Equitable Trust com pany of New York. which resulted in the sale. and for an accounting of the amount Of money the Equitable Trust company has received from the sale.

 Mudra, an Austrian miner, had been working in Oak Creek this winter, leaving his wife and children on the ranch. Several days ago Mudra' g daughter walked to town and told her father her mother was sick. Mudra instructed the girl to go back and if the mothers condition became worse, to send for him.
 Yesterday the girl again walked into Oak Creek from the ranch, arriving about midnight after long hours of toiling through the almost impossible mountain roads. Her father accom- panied her to the farm. Inquiry devel oped that Mrs. Mudra had not been seen for several weeks and one of the smaller children finally told Mudra. Reed said, that the body was buried back of a stable.
 The body was found, with a bullet wound in the back. The girl, accord ing to Reed. then confessed that she shot her mother because of the latter's interference in her affair with tho ranch hand
