.CHARGE OFFICER
 WHITE WASHED
Disciplinary Barracks Com. mandant, Who Released
 Bergdoll, Is Witness

WASHINGTON. May 10. - The charge that Colonel John E. Hunt, for mer commandant at the disciplinary barracks at Governors Island, was white washed by court-martial re- sulting from his alleged failure to take proper precautions to prevent the escape of Grover Bergdoll, was made today before the house investi- gating committee.
 Called to tell what precautions he had taken to safeguard Bergdoll while on a gold hunting expedition to Mary land. Colonel Hunt had been on the stand nearly four hours when he was taken in hand by Representative John son, Democrat of Kentucky, for grilling cross-examination.
 Some of the questions were ex. tremely blunt and of a personal na- ture. Then after asking for ives" or mo" answer as to whether he had been given a fair trial and whether he had been aggressively prosecuted, Johnson quoted from the court-martial record statements by the prosecuting officer directed at the good standing of the accused
 'Is that a vigorous prosecuting speech?" Johnson asked and Hunt re- piled it was a plea for his conviction as he saw it.
 Colonel Hunt, recently recovered from a long fllness,- took no part in the discussion. During his examina- tion he described plans for Bergdoll to leave under military guard in search of the buried gold and declar- ed no officer was available and that he had the utmost confidence in Ser geant O'Hare. who was directly re- sponsible for the safe return of the prisoner
 Asked by Chairman Peters if the escape was due to his own fault or to the incompetency of the guard. Hunt denied he was responsible and added that he did not want to char acterize the conduct of the sergeant as dereliction of duty.

PASsAGE TARIFF
 B|'' EXPECTED
Measure To Be Voted On In Senate Late Today; Edge
 Switches To Support

WASHINGTON, May 10. = The emergency tariff bill will come to a vote in the senate late tomorrow with passage regarded as certain.
 The measure is expected by those in charge to command the vote of the Republican majority with few excep- tions and to receive the support of from six to eight Democrats. Four Republicans refused to support the bill when it was passed by the last senate, but today one of them, Sena- tor Edge, of New Jersey. announced he had decided to favor it because of improvements and changes. Support from the Democrats is expected to come from senators of agricultural states. Ten days of extended debate ended late today with shots at the measure by Senators Reed. of Missou- ri, and Walsh, of Massachusetts, both Democrats. and an announcement of support by Senator Gooding, Republi- can of Idaho. Beginning at noon to-. morrow. speeches will be limited to 10 minutes on each amendment.
 Disposition of the measure will be followed by reference to a conference committee.
 Senator Edge said he had decided to vote for the bill because he believ. ed it contained "enough of good, more than to counter-balance the policy and features I believe to be bad" He enumerated. among changes for the better he considered had been made. the shortening of the effective period from ten to six months.
 This led Senator Reed to remark that If shortening it's life four months made it partly virtuous, why not make it wholly virtuous by killing it altogether" Reed assailed the bill as pork barrel legislation" t9

 Men On Application

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The army appropriation bill. carrying ar7yux- mately $320 0,O00, 900 and providing for an army of 150,O00 men, was passed late today by the house and sent to the senate. The vote was 243 to 23.
 Before the final vote, unsuccessful attempts were made to have the house reverse it's previous action in adopting an amendment providing for reduc- ton in the. size of the army, which now totals about 23O.O0O men, to l5O,- 900 and for the discharge from serv- ice under reasonable" war depart ment regulations of men making ap- plication.
 An effort by Representative Her rick, Republican of Oklahoma, to at tach a rider. declaring the war ended and directing the secretary of war; to Rhine was checked by Representative Mondell, Republican leader, who made a point of order against it.
 When the bin was being reconsider ed. an amendment to reduce the force iOh4 4Oo,OVOf luC nuIlucI IctOillucuu- ed by Secretary Weeks, to 15O,000 was adopted. Privileged to call for sec ond vote, Chairman Anthony of the subcommittee. did so today, but the ameRdment was retained,-19S to 159.
 Representative Mondell spoke in op- position to this amendment, contend ing it would be impossible for months to cut the army to 150,O0O.
 Efforts on second roll call to knock out an amendment previously adopted to peymit enlisted men to be discharged on application, failed, 1SS to 169.
 As introduced the bill carried ap- promixately s332, 2,OOO, 900. but substitu- tion of a maintenance allowance of 150,000 instead of 16S,00O men de- creased the total about $12,O0O, 900. As passed at the last session the bill, which was pocket vetoed by President Wilson. provided for force of 156.00O and carried S343,O0O.O0O.

 Dr. Wirth, Centrist leader. finally succeeded in forming a coalition cab met. composed Of Centrists. Majority Socialists and Democrats. which. con fronted by grave necessity, speedily decided acceptance of the ultimatum was the only course. In making this announcement to the reichstag the new chancellor asked for immediate decision and the government was sustained.
 The allied ultimatum required A yes or mo" reply. The uItimatum was to expire May I2
 The total sum Germany is called on to pay is 6,0Oo.0O0.0Oo pounds: dis armament must be carried ont in ac- cordance with the treaty. and trial of war criminals must be put into effect. Numerous other important terms will be enforced
 The new, cabinet is generally re- garded asa makeshift, largely unrep- resentatiye, but good enough to ac- cept the ultimatum.
 While the cabinet obtained a com fortable majority in the reichstag. it has the undivided support of only the Majority Socialist and Clerical parties. Members of the other par. ties. it is declared. have given it sup port as a makeshift and Are not pledged to give it parliamentary sup port. "A leading Democrat said:
 "The cabinet cannot last as it is not on g broad enough basis to carry out the financial and economic prob iems involved in German acceptance of the separations settlemeac We Democrats have loaned Schiffer and Gessler to the cabinet. deserving the right to withdraw them unless the cabinet is amplified to include the German Peoples party"
 Dr. Wirth Is unfavorably regarded by the industrialists and banking in- terests because he is closely asso- ciated politically with Matthias Erz- berger, his predecessor. as finance who advocated a raid on capital. rather than indirect taxes. to meet Germanys financial needs.
 Conservative elements in the reich stag regard the cabinet as too Social ist'c and incapable of outlining a pol icy whereby Germany can begin i'm meeting the entente's fi- nanciaI demand.

 The cabinet is the outgrowth CT two days of wild chaos. in which fhe parties met day and night, and nal y in desperation agreed on n im- provised slate, which underwent scores of changes and admittedly never could have obtained ratifica- ton had it not been necessary to check the threatened entente militia " movements.
