Police Heads
In Des Moines
Are Dismissed
Former Detective Chief ano
Assistant Police Chief
Ousted for Violation
OF Statutes.

Des Moines, June 30-(Specia1
Telegram. John Brophy, former
chief of detectives. and Prank Hartv,
former assistant chief of police, were
summarily discharged from the serv-
lice by the civil service commission
here today. -.
Both men had been denoted pre-
viously by the city council and tenn
porarily suspended by Chief Saun-
ders after Sheriff Robb charged the
officers with violations of their oaths
cf duty. Sensational hearings were
i held in May for Brophy and Harty
and it was evidence from these hear
ings that prompted the commission
delayed action Thursday.
In its decision, the commission de-
clared that it had conducted on its
own. action, independent OF any
charges, general investigation of
the department. Brophy was dis
charged for accepting rewards in vio-
lation of the statutes, and an I'M
proper conception of the duties OF a
police officer, in his conduct to-
wards two pickpockets who were re-
leased and also towards recovery CT
stolen property from pawn shops.
Harty was scored for his action on
the 'pickpocket case, but his recon-
mendation of Frank Unbenhauer to
be placed on the force was the main
ground for Harty's discharge.
Umbenhauer had been indicted for
bootlegging when Harty recon-
mended his appointment. The COM
mission ruled that Harty did not
have the proper conception of the
ype Of man fit to be police officer"

New wTangle
by
Army Bill
Law Reducing Forces to $50.
900 Soldiers Will Throw
10000 Men Upon
Labor Market.
May Ask Modification

Washington, June 30.-President
Harding informed congress today
that while he had signed the army
appropriation bill with its provision
for a reduction of the regular army
to 100000 men by next October |. it
might be necessary to ask for a
modification of the measure later to
avoid embarrassment to the secre-
tary of war.
The executive declared in a spe-
cial message sent to both the senate
and the house, that summary dis
missal from the army of men who
had enlisted for longer period than
October | would seem to involve
reputation of a moral obligation by
the government which would have
its effect upon morale of the army
and possibly influence enlistments in
the future.
The nature of the modification
which might be asked for later was
not disclosed. nor did the president
explain how it was proposed to meet
the moral obligation to the men and
at the same time carry out the direc-
ton of congress to reduce the force
by some 10000 men in the next three
months.
Weeks Still Hopeful. :.
He did say, however, that every
effort will be made to meet the re-
quirmeent of congress at the earliest
possible day."
Secretary Weeks, in discussing the
bill, said that if the War department
succeeded in meeting the limitations
imposed by congress, some $4,000
civilian employees of the army, be-
sides the 10000 enlisted men. would
be thrown on the labor market. He
added that the War department still
hoped to be able to avoid the sum-
mary dismissal of any enlisted men
i'll reducing the army and that for
the present no enlisted men would
be discharged against their wishes
The war secretary explained that
an opportunity would be given en-
listed men in the service who desire
to leave, to tender their designations.
For the next few weeks, Mr.. Weeks
added, only routine and requested
discharges would be issued.
Only Practical Course.
In signing the bill President Har-
ding was understood to have fol-
lowed course regarded by his az
vlsers as the only practicable one, in
view of the insistence of both the
house and senate that the army be
reduced as proposed in the measure
and the short time remaining before
the end of the fiscal year.
The presidents message to con-
gress said:
Il am advising the congress Of my

Bankers Extend
N-S-F Company
Temporary Relief
Final Action Awaits New
Audit of Grain Firm
Liquidation May Be
Avoided.

Nye-Schneider- Fowler company ot
Fremont, whose need of additiona
funds precipitated a series of con.
ferences by Chicago and Omaha
bankers, will continue at least tenn
porarily to operate the 100 elevators
which it and its subsidiaries own in
Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and South
Dakota.
This was the decision reached at
a meeting of Omaha bankers yester-
day, confirming a preliminary agree
ment made in Chicago yesterday.
Pending the audit and final settle
ment of the company's affairs a rep
rcsentatlve of the creditors will par
ticipate in the company's manage
ment made in Chicago the day be-
fore.
Fred Fl. Davis of the First Ma
tional bank, who attended both
meetings, made this statement:
1t was decided to send an audi
tor from Chicago to Fremont to
rake a complete independent ex-
animation of the company's affairs.
When the report is made, probably
in a week or 10 days, there will be
another meeting to decide whether
or not the banks will advance the
further funds necessary to carry on
the business. In the meantime
business will be continued.
II think it probable that the inter-
ested banks will decide, after the
audit is complete, to make the
needed loans in order that the COM
pany's terminal and line elevators
may not be withdrawn from service
just at time when the territory they
occupy needs them most. This may
be done even though it appears likely
that the company must later be
liquidated. If conditions are right,
the company may still avoid liquida-
tion. No man can tell as to that at
this time"
Mr.. Davis and other bankers said
it was impossible to ascertain exact
figures as to the eompany's condition
until the new audit 10 complete. Other
information divulged yesterday in
dicated assets of S7,000,000, with liza
bilities of $5,s00,000. On this show
ing, the $3,000000 capital stock has

Allies Blamed
For Atrocities
Against Turks
Americans Anxious Over Re.
quest of Near East Relief
That State Department
Interfere.
By LARRY RUE:
Chicago Tribune Cable, Copyright, 1921

ShcdSO lriUuue ShUies SOpSTBuSs Ao~L
Constantinople, June 30.-Ameri-
cans familiar with conditlons in the
Near East feel anxious over the re-
quest of the Near East relief, in the
name OF 25,000,000 subscribers, tha,
the State department of the United
States interfere in Turkish affairs for
protection of the minorities in Tur-
key.
High officials and political ex-
perts say allied interference, which
the United States is urged to recon-
mend, largely is responsible for
atrocities on the part of Armenians
against the Turks. The reaction
against the Armenians and any re-
quest for further interference would
aggravate racial hatreds existing be-
tween these two peoples.
The Turks are fighting now on
two fronts-Smyrna and Cilicia-
against allied interference and the
Armenians. by encouraging the al
lied forces fighting against the Turks,
are inviting disaster on their own
heads.
The Marash massacre in February,
1920, where in 5000 Armenians and
1000 Turks lost their lives, was fol-
lowed by a long series of abuses OF
the Turk population in that area by
the Armenian gendarmes armed by
the French. General Gouraud forced
this gendarmerie finally to Gisarm
because OF atrocities perpetrated in a
Turkish village.
The Armenians in Aintab also took
up arms with the French against the
Turks which did anything but IN
crease Turk love for the Armenians
in the territories which were COM
pletely in the hands of the Turks.
The Near East relief by grossly
exaggerating the Turk atrocities
against the Armenians, and not men
tioning. Armenian abuses against
the Turks, not only is giving
Americans a wrong idea OF the re-
spective merits of Europe and the
Armenians, but is greatly embarras-
sing American representatives. in pro-
tecting American interests here by
creating an anti-American feeling
among the Turks. ...a
