Thinks War Finance Cor
poration Should Take
Responsibility
IS SAVING At SP|GOT
His Suggestion For Farm
Credits Extension AL
ready Cared For
CBy Associated PressI

Washington, July 26.-Partial re-
sponse was made Immediately by
congress today to a special message
from President Harding requesting
that power of the War Finance Cor
poration be broadened to take charge
of funding upwards of $5O0,O00,OOO
of railroad debts and to provide ad-
ditional farm credits.
The President in his message
transmitted by messenger, declared
the government was morally and
legally bound" to fund the railroad
debts and was under IAN impelling
moral obligation" to provide agri-
cultural credits.
second of the two requests-provi.
sion For additional Farm credits
had in reality been taken in the SEN
ate before the Presidential message
was read. Senator Kellogg, republi-
can, Minnesota, introduced a bill,
drafted by Secretary of Commerce
Hoover and Director Meyer, of the
War Finance Corporation, and said
to have the approval of the Presi-
dent as a substitute for the pending
Norris bill to create $100,000,000
farm export corporation. The bill as
introduced embraced the President S
suggestions to empower the War FL
nance Corporation instead of a new
federal corporation as provided in the
Norris bill, to advance credits for
agricultural exports.
The Presidents message dealt
with railroad financing and declared
the proposal that the War Finance
Corporation take charge of unding
the railroad debts ito the govern
ment would cause mo added expense,
no added liability, no added tax bur-
dens". The President, besides the
proposal, asked Simple remedy" con-
templating receipts and disposition
by the corporation of "ample secu-
rites" deposited by the railroads.
The message was referred by the
senate to its Interstate Commerce
Committee, but Chairman Cummins,
who is in i'll health was out of the
city, and when the railroad legislation
would be taken up was in doubt.
Leaders however, expected action
within the next fortnight. Several
Senators opposing any semblance Of
further government advances to the
carriers stated privately that they
would fight the legislation.

Governor Small Is
Still Defiant Of
All State Affairs
rRx AssocIntcd Pressl

Springfield, H., July 26.-Although
Circuit Judge E. S. Smith today held
that Governor Small was subject to
arrest following his indictment on
charges of embezzlement and con-
spiracy to defraud the state while
state treasurer, warrants had not
been served tonight and the governor
left the capital presumably for his
home at Kankakee.
Truce overtures by State Attorney
Mortimer, who suggested conferences
between county authorities and rep
resentatives of the governor were re-
fused at the executive office.
Court authorities declared they
were determined to go through with
the arrest of Governor Small follow
ing Judge Smiths ruling. They de-
signated no time for service of the
warrants or the time which they
would allow the governor for his ap-
pearance to arrange bond.
Although Judge Smith ruled against
them Governor Small and his counsel
still contend that the executive is
immune from arrest in the charge
made in the indictment.

REDUCTION IS ASSURED
Army Strength to Be Cut
In Two By July 81
Is Promise
CBy Associated Presal

Washington, July 26.-Reduction
of the United States army to peace
time strength of 100000 men will be
accomplished by July 81 in accor-
dance with the decision of congress
when it refused to appropriate funds
for pay of greater force after 0cto-
Weeks said today, there would be a
general redistribution of troops,
practical abandonment of seven Of
the great war time army canton
ments, placement of many of the or
ganizations on the inactive list and
skeletonization of others into ma
terially reduced strength.
There was considerable surprise
among army officers when it was
found that the enlisted strength
would be reduced to the 100000 mark
by July 81. Only few had believed
it possible that the men would re-
sign under Secretary order in num-
Der sufficiently large to effect the
reduction from approximately 220,-
900 men in June to the smaller figure
before winter.
Secretary Weeks recently instruc.
ted corps area and division comman-
ders to permit the men within the
continental boundaries to resign dur
ing July upon application without
forfeiing travel pay to their homes
or the $50 bonus which they received
when their enlistment ex-
pired. The designations literally
poured in and caused the secretary
to revoke his order before the month
was ended.

tBy AssocInted Pressn

Washington, July 26.-Quick re-
sponse was made today to President
Harding's call on the Public Health
Service and the Red Cross to meet
the reported threats of pellagra
epidemic in large section of the
cotton belt.
Officials of the two agencies set
znnedi diately to work in an endeayor

j s N OF 7ergffr southern
EEt&s asaae their response in the
form Of q protest that no such serious
situation as has been pictured ex-
lists.
Surgean General Cummings and
DR.. Joseph Goldberger, pellagra eX-
perts of the Public Health Service
met in conference with DR.. Livings-
ton Marrand, chairman, and other
Red Cross officials. The session was
lengthy and no information as to con-
clusions reached was disclosed. DR.
Cumming stated he would make d
report tomorrow to the President.
The response from the south was
wide spread and varied. The Geor-
gia senate passed aresolution de-
nouncing the report of pellagra
epidemic as "damning", the secretary
of the state board of health declared
the disease showed no increase.
The Macon Chamber of Commerce
autographed protest to the White
House. Florida State health officers
contended that the state of Florida
showed a decrease. The state boarc
of health of Alabama also claimed d
decrease. The Tennessee health boacS
reported nothing unusual. Soutf
Carolina admitted an increase but
no Hsemi-famine" and contended thert
was nothing alarming. Arkansas
reported "nothing alarming, ans
louisiana reported decrease. Mis-
'sippi acknowledged twice as many
cases this year as last, but disclaimeC
an epidemic or "semi-famine.
In all cases the state health off
cials took vigorous issue with the
report of the Public Health Service
which has publicly estimated that due
TO impoverished diet forced upor
them by depression of the cottor
market at least 100000 persons ir
the southern cotton belt would have
pellagra and that ten per cent of then
will die. Doctor Cumming said to-
aight however, that the Public
Iealth Service would stand By its

CBy Associated Pressl

New York, July 26.-The United
States Steel Corporation reported to-
day that its earnings for the quarter
ending June 80 were $21 ,S92,O16, the

Regular dividends of one and three
quarters per cent on the preferred
shares and one and one quarter per
cent on the common were declared,

which he stated that the business re-
suits for the quarter were not sur.
prising to anyone familiar with gen.
eral conditions.
