Between 5000 and 1000 of the

WAIT
TO COOL TEMPERS

Washington, Feb. 1.-The Demo
cratic caucus, which promised to b.
highly interesting, may, because o.
postponement, be a very tame affair
The indications are that it will no
be held until the night before the
convening of the congress in extra
ordinary session.
! Representative Kitchin, minority
leader, declares that postponement i:
necessary in order that animosity de-
velcped because OF the split over the
emergency tariff bill might be dis.
sipated. At the same time, by the
date of the caucus, all of the North.
ern Democrats who stood for the
protectie tariff, or peanut" tariff,
will have retired. Southern Demo
Gratis as rule voted against the bill,
and in the caucus, they will be in a
majority.
AS previously reported, Mr.. Kitch-
in created a storm when he declared
that none of the Democrats who sup
ported the tariff measure should be
made new members of the ways and
means committee. He threatened to
carry a fight to the floor, if that ex-
igency be proved to be necessary, to
prevent the election to the commit
tee of either Representative Jones of
Virginia, or Representative Steagall
of Alabama. This challenge greatly
disturbed Representative Garner of
Texas, who, on account of the illness
of Mr.. Kitchin, aspired to minority
leadership. Mr.. Garner ardently sup
ported the tariff bill and induced
many other Democrats to follow suit.
1t was reported that Mr.. Garner
aware that the majority of the men,
bers of the party supported the tariff
bill, saw an opportunity to put him
self at the head of this majority and
thus oust Mr.. Kitchin from leader
ship. The report proved sensa-
ton. There were head to head con-
ferences all over the capitol, and
speculation, prediction and even
threats electrified the air.
And then it developed that there
would be no caucus prior to the ad-
ournment of this session of congress

MAY NOT REARGUE
THE GOSSETT CASE

Attorneys and Solicitor Likely To
Get Together in Matter, is
Belief.
Reargument of the Kenneth Cos.
sett case before the supreme court
will not likely be necessary, it was
learned yesterday. as attorneys for
the defendant are said to be willing
to let Chief Justice Gary and Justice
Gage participate in the opinion to
be handed down and it is thought
that Solicitor Blackwell will agree to
this.
In case counsel for both sides
agree, which seems certain now, the
case will not be reargued and an
opinion may be handed down in the
next few weeks.
The Gossett case is remembered by
the public as involving alleged Grim
inal assault upon yuong white girl
at Abbeville by Kenneth Gossett Of
Honea Path. Gossett is now in the
penitentiary under 40 year sentence
for the crime. His case has been be-
fore the supreme court for several
months, being argued last October

Marion, o., Jan. THE plan of Re-
publican leaders in congress to limit the
peace time strength of the army to 150,-
900 men, was given approval Friday by
President Elect Harding in conference
with Representative Kahn of California,
chairman of the house military committee.
Senator Harding is in. complete ac-
cord with our policy" said MIR. Kahn
later. He is deeply concerned about
reduction of the burden now resting on
the shoulders of taxpayers. and he be-
iieved much can be saved by reducing the
army strength to 175.o00 as soon as
possible, and then working it down to
$4,000 as a continuing maximum.
Il am sure Senator Harding does not
believe that the millennium has come, but
/ do not think he is expecting trouble
in the near future"
The conference at which. Mr.. Harding
also indicated his desire for well or
ganized reserve force. was one of Sc
ries he is holding with congressional lead
ers in charge of military and naval leg
islation. Soon he is to see Chairman
Butler of the house naval committee, to
urge retrenehment in that arm of the
service and shape a continuing policy for
naval armament.

Houston of Missouri for secretary of
agriculture, were urged upon the presi-
dent elect by delegation from that
state headed by Edward Foristel of ST.
Louis. A formidable array of endorse
ments was brought from Republican
leaders, farm organizations and livestock
men of Missouri.

The reparations commission. although
not party to the Spa agreement, super

such that Germany will be unable to con-
tinue to deliver coal even at the same
rate that she has been.

LACK PROPER
FACILITIES To
A|D DETECTIVES
Need for Government
Hospitals Stressed by
Noted Lung Authority.
Veterans Adjudged as
''Paupers' in Court Be-
fore Sent to Asylums.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Not cent of the
money so far appropriated by congress
for the care of war veterans suffering
from disability or wounds incurred in
service has been spent for hospitals for
the treatment of the insane, the house
commerce committee was informed Fri
day by DIR. Thomas w Salmon of New
York, adviser on mental diseases to the
Rockefeller foundation.
The statement was made at a hearing
on the Rogers bill to consolidate into
one bureau the several government agen-
cies dealing with relief for former SER
vice men.
AS result of this failure to provide
proper facilities, DR. Salmon added vet.
erans suffering from mental and ner-
vous disorders are in many instances be-
ing committed by the government to in
, stltutions in which criminal insane, drug
addicts and various degenerafes are seq
regated.
Supporters Urge Passage.
Others who urge passage of the bill in
cluded DIR. FL. A. Pattison of New York,
supervisor of medical service of the ma
tional tuberculosis association, f. w.
Galbraith, national commander of the
American legion, and several other Off
GERS of the latter organization.
Pattison stressed the need for govern
ment hospitals for the treatment. Of
veterans suffering from tuberculosis,
while Mr.. Galbraith suggested that de-
Capitalization OF authority in dealing
with disabled men had put many of them
in "frightfuP' predicament
In declaring that the government was
obliged to send insane veterans to local
asylums. almshouses and sanitariums
operated for private gain, DIR. Salmon
said:
Deserted by Officials.
'Men so committed as rule are never
visited by federal officials to see whether
they are properly cared for or whether
the institutions in which they are con-
fined are not even fire proof, or fit for
human beings"
DIR. Salmon also charged that under
the present method insane service men
must be adiudged insane paupers' in
court before they can be committed to
state or county asylums.
MANY a mother has told me- he
said that she would rather see her
son under cross in France than to
have him adiudged an insane pauper and
committed to a state institution" As
a result of this sentiment. he added,
some men are lurking at home, afraid
to come forward, getting worse all the
time"
