ARMY TENTS WERE
SOLD BY RED CROSS
AS OLD CANVAS
Official Minutes Of Society Sales
Board Tell of Ruse to
camoufIage.

NEW YORK, July 20.-Old canvas
was used to camouflage bundles of
new canvas sold by the Red Cross
overseas. This amazing situation Is
revealed by certified copy of min
utes of Meeting No. AZ" This was
a gathering Of the sales board Of the
Red Cross in Paris on August 81, 1920.
Aside from dealing with whiskey
sales propositions-a somewhat ire
quent subject for comment in these
meetings - the board apparently
sensed an impending scandal In the
tent and canvas deliveries to brokers.
The minutes record a report OF an I'M
pending sale of canvas and tents at
warehouse No. 10 In Paris.
Who was responsible for the pack
ing OF new material inside OF old
fabric, however, remains mystery.
Seven attending members of the
sales board met In the office OF
Colonel Emerson, chairman, and after
approving of sales Of motor cars be-
longing to the Red Cross to private
parties authorized a sale of 5000
francs worth of oil and grease to
1.-The military attache." The follow
ing report on alcohol is quoted from
the minutes:
"a letter from Mr.. McNellis asking
that we release him from his CON
tract to purchase the American Red
Cross stock of whiskey at Saint Sui
pice, and return to him his deposit of
$500 francs was read. Mr.. McNellis
explained that his reason for making
the request was because of the high
tax on alcohol now effective in
France, and that II would be impossi-
BILE for him to handle the stock under
present conditions advantageous
"The committee approved Major
Harrisons suggestion that the de-
post be returned in full, as there
will probably be no difficulty in dis
posing of the stock"
The board members then launched
into the question Of tents and canvas.
resulting from a report Of inspection,
submitted by G. w. Campbell. The
minutes recite:
Frauds in Canvas.
This inspection was instituted be-
cause of the discovery that new can
vas was rolled inside Of the old can
vas being delivered to Mr.. Frazey
under the conditions of an authori-
zation made by the Sales Committee
on June Is. Meeting No. 90"
L ne Icpofl was IuduC Pdit VI ehV
minutes. Excerpts from the Camp
bell findings follow:
Upon arrival at Warehouse No.
Is to inspect canvas l found APP
proximately 10000 kilos OF canvas
tied in bundles. Most of this canvas
seemed to be in good condition and
was made up Of used and unused
tents. The canvas that had been
used was weather beaten and in
some instances torn but could easily
be patched and used for tents.
Mr.. Frazey stated that all the
canvas had been sold to him by Mr..
kellogg, of the Bureau Of Salvage. Mr..
Allen. of the Transportation Depart
ment, was to have charge Of the de-
livery Of the canvas.

1000 BENEFIT WON BY
DEAD OFFICERS CHILDREN

An order directing the Metro
politan Police Relief Association to
pay to the six children of Eli Riley,
former policeman, a benefit of 81 900
due on his death was signed today
by Justice Hoehling Of the District
Supreme Court. Mrs. Nellie May
Riley, the widow. claimed the full
amount and the association sub
mitted the question as to her rights
and the childrens' to the court.
Attorneys Hawken & Havell, rep
resenting the children, showed the
court that the father had made an
assignment to them of the proceeds
of the benefit certificate. Attorney
William II. De Lacy, representing
the widow claimed that the bylaws
of the association gave preference to
her claim.
Mrs. Riley contended that her hus-
band was insane when he made the
assignment. Riley had remarked at
the age of seventy-six and died when
he was eighty-one. At the time
when the widow claimed her hus-
band was insane, counsel for the
children pointed out, she had
brought suit for maintenance against
him and had also sued his children
for alternating his affections.

FARMERS C[AMOR
FOR ACCEPTANCE
OF F0RD'S OFFER
Muscle Shoals Project Regard
ed by Agricultural Interests
As Public Benefaction.
.s q A.

Cabinet officers today were
swamped with messages from farm
ers and farm organizations urging
approval of Henry Fords proposal
to take over the Muscle Shoals, Ala,
nitrate plant.
Ford appears in the light Of a
benefactor to a majority of the farm
ers, according to the messages pour
ing in, as his proposal would mean
cheaper fertilizer.
Although officials refuse to make
any predictions there was consider
able conjecture here a sto whether
Ford's proposal is simply a new ven
ture, his entrance into the manufac-
ture of a fertilizer, or whether he
has plans for an Industrial develop
ment which may be the biggest adj
vance that the South has ever seen.
Study FOrd's Aims.
It was pointed out that by the
completion Of the Wilson dam a
great power project will be devcl-
oped, and that the plant is within
easy striking distance of iron and
steel supplies, and with this combi-
nation of power and raw materials
at hand Ford would be in a fine
position to undertake a manufac-
turing project on a large scale
Officials admitted that the Ford
project will call for heavy expendi-
lures, some estimates running from
s12, 100000 to s15.000,000 and this
must mean than Ford will be called
upon to provide financing before the
plant becomes a going concern. In
view OF this 1t was the opinion or
some Government experts who have
examined the Ford proposal that
either Ford desires to become a
benefactor to the farmer or he has
larger plans than he cares to dis
close at present.
None of the tentative plans ad-
vanced by some others who would
like to compete with Mr.. Ford for
the nitrate plant, have even APP
preached Ford's terms, even in some
OF their minor particulars, and none
others, 1t is said, would be willing
to hazard their capital in an enter
prise, in which the books would be
subject to the check and supervision
of farm boards, to determine the
matters of fair profits in opera
tons. Mr.. Ford's concession to the
farmers in this respect was a master
stroke.
He is willing that the plant, when
nut on a productive basis, shall re-
turn him no more than per cent.
For the amount OF money involved
by such a transaction. it was said
that few other capitalists, even with
the strongest banking support, will
appear, prepared to match Ford's
offer. unwilling to open their books
to outsiders, with respect to ap-
praising just profits.
High Government officers today
were swamped with messages from
farm bureau boards and other agri.
cultural organizations, endorsing the
Ford proposition. and urging its APP

ment clerks who cannot get off dur

returns during the regular hours, it
has been announced that the personal
tax office will open earlier and close

FIGHT PLAN
Of LASKER
$500, 100000 Request for
Shipping Board Staggers
Economy Supporters.
By j. BART CAMPBELL,

international News Service.
Chairman Lasker. Of the Shipping
Board, spilled the economy beans
for Congress with his announcement
that he must have S300,000,000 to
carry on" the Shipping Board, Re-
publican leaders indicated today.
Lasker won't get the money with
out a fight it was declared. Sena-
tors opposed to pouring out any
more money on the Shipping Board
are lining up in anticipation of his
request for it. They declare he will
have to do lot of explaining be-
fore he will be able to get even part
Of it.
Heavy Expenses Loom.
Lasker's announcement fell like a
thunder-clap even upon those Sena-
tors who knew that staggering claims
are piling up against the Shipping
Board. Senators bent on reducing
expenditures and slashing taxation
are worried over the prospect Of
Congress being called upon to pro-
vide ~ $500, 100000 for the rail-
roads; (2) $500, 900, 900 for the Ship
ping Board; and (3 from $3.50. 900, 900
to $500. 000,0 900 for the assistance Of
dependent, MANNED and sick ex-serv-
ice men under the Smoot-Sweet bill,
or more than $1,000 100000.
To appropriate all this money at
the outset of the current fiscal year
will seriously affect the economy
plans of the Administration and the
Republican majority. it was pointed
out.
During the last fiscal year, endeo
June 30. Congress dug into the
Treasury for a total of $7S4,609, 1913
in deficiency appropriations. The
Shipping Board came in with a re-
quest for $134, 000,0 900 but got con-
siderably less after a hot verbal
battle in both the Senate and House
during the course of which both Re-
publican and Democratic members
urged that it would be better to
scrap" the Shipping Board than to
continue to sink millions in it. Sen
Htors Frelinghuysen R.S of New Jer-
sey and Kenyon R) Of Iowa. who
were among those who led the last
fight against millions for the Ship
ping Board" are girding their armor
again as result Of Lasker's $780,
000,0 900 announcement.
Millions In Liabilities.
Senator Warren R.) of Wyoming,
estimates, as chairman of the Senate
Appropriations Committee, that regu-
lar appropriations made for the 1921
22 fiscal year aggregate $4,6S7, 387.-
5SS. Add the s784.609,133 in de-
ficiency appropriations to this, and
the total is S5,471 ,996,721.
I'VE are now trying to clean up
the world war" Warren said, and
there will be millions, in fact, fear,
billions altogether, of liabilities which
have yet not been estimated or ap-
propriated for because that indebted
ness is still entirely indefinite. Many
claims hereafter presented will, of
course, be repudiated, but as for the
claims that will come along, they
are entirely indefinite, and / am not
able to answer as to those"

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Middlemen

day to continue their fight

tive marketing movement. They
endorsed the campaign con-
Quoted by their special execu-
tive committee headed by r. |.
Mansfield, of Chicago, and or
dered it to continue its work
for the next year.
This committee was called into being
last June following organization of the
United States Grain Growers, Inc.
National Cooperative Corporation Of
Farmers fostered largely by the Amer
lean Farm bureau federation In this
interval. Mr.. Mansfield reported today.
the committee had sent out letters to
N6.OO0 Influential farmers. had dis
tributed ! 100000 pieces of literature
in IS states had had articles printed
in nearly 700 magazines. farm journ-
ais and newspapers, and had organized
a speakers bure"u.
Get Little Support.
The result, Mr. Mansfield declared.
was that 'the emergency situation has
been met and met successfully Our
opponents are not functioning and are
meeting with very little response in
their campaign"
Reports that the grain trade had
raised a fund of S25O.OOO for its coun-
ter campaign he declared untrue. He
presented a financial report showing
total receipts of S4O,3S6.59. OF this
$31,1OO was received from grain ex-
changes, $500 from the grain dealers
national association, S6,67j as special
contributions from Chicago board of
trade members; S2.O96 in outside con
tributions, and interest $3.50
Vigorous warning was given the
grain men by Mr.. Mansfield that the
work they had started they must carry
on for their own preservation. He
urged concerted and sustained cam
paign of education for the producer
and the consumer
Must Keep Fighting.
Failure to follow up this work so

in flood Of adverse legislation in

The decision of the commission, COM
prising three Canadians and three
Americans, was unanimous.
IF the international joint comm s
sion had never accomplished anything
more than the settlement of this prob
lem said former Senator Obadiah
Gardner, of Maine. chairman of the
in my judgment, it would have more
than justified its existence
The settlement of the dispute about
the division of the waters of the st.
Mary and the Milk rivers follows close
ly upon the trip made by the inte~na-
tional commission to Montana and Can
ada in September. On that trip hear
ings were held in Chinook and Leth-
bridge.
Point of Division.
The dispute has been based upon the
demand Of the Canadians that the d.
made at the months. whereas the
Montana people have insisted upon
division at the boundary. In regard to
this matter, the dispatch printed is 81
lent. but it is believed that the Mon
tanans have won out in their conten-
ton that to divide the waters at the
mouth of the rivers would work great
hardship upon the people of the Treas
rre state because it would give to Can
ada a share of water which rises in this
state and empties into the Milk river
without even flowing near the Canadian
border.
The division of the waters at the
mouths of the rivers would also entl
much work in measuring tributary
streams of the Milk river and consid-
cradle loss of time in So doing. which
strengthens the belief that the division
is to be made Of the total volume Of
both streams at the boundary. and that
the volume necessary to bring the small
flow of the Milk river to the amount
of water to which the United States is
entitled under the treaty. is to be di-
verted from the st. Mary river through
the canal which has been in operation
for several years
Dixon Plan as Basis.
At the Chinook hearing Governor
Joseph NJ. Dixon of Montana advanced
the proposition of storage reservoir
in Glacier park. the expense of con-
struction to be borne equally by the
two governments and the impounded
resulting to be divided
equally between the two countries. 1t
would seem that the commission has
used this as basis of settlement, but
eliminating the storage reservoir aud
thus bringing to n speedy termination
the dispute which has ragged for mora
than a dozen years and which has de-
layed irrigation development in north
ern Montana to considerable ex-
tent
