Adequate Army Urged
By Secretary Weeks

sary to cut the army down to TO-
600 men in order to achieve the aver
age Of 10000 provided in the house
bill.
"The present strength of the army
is 100000 men and $4,000 officers,
said the secretary. "The number OF
re-enlistments is large. due to hard
times. We cannot make the reduc-
tons called for by the house bill
without utterly demoralizing the
army. 1t would mean that we would
have to reduce the force below the
strength of 10000 in order to get
the average. After that we would
have to re-enlist to bring it Up to the
required strength. 1t costs Sl0O per
man for recruiting. under our pres
ent system, so that in the long run
we would save very little.
1--WE should not be put to the ex-
pense and inconvenience Of dis
charging our trained men and then
recruiting to bring it up to the size
of the army proposed"
Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
democrat, interrupted to say that the
army thus will be losing trained men
and getting in unframed men.
Calls for Troops.
THE reductions" continued Mr..
Weeks, would have to be in the in
fantry, the field artillery and the
cavalry, which total now about
131 900 men. In the infantry. for in
stance, it would leave only 800 men
to regiment, or about 40 men IL, a
company, which would be only a
squad. 1t would cut the cavalry in
two. 1t would leave us in the United
States only about 10000 men of ac-.
tua1 fighting force. In that connec-
ton / wish to say that special uses
arise from time to time. Only re-
Gently we had call for troops at
Galveston, Tex, to suppress disor-
dcrs there.
Yesterday, as you know, we had
a call from the governor Of West
Virginia calling attention to the war
fare there, both in Kentucky and
West Virginia, in which one or two
men had been killed
"There has been a large division
of men kept in hand in case Develop

their presence.
'We are living in troublous times.
We don't know what will happen in
the next few months and we ought
not to cut our army below the safety

Mr.. Weeks said that the return
of troops now in Germany was "al-

Chicago flying field, and an under
study named King, frequently ap-
peared on the flying field under the
influence of liquor. He told the
committee that on one occasion
Moore became so confused from
drinking whisky that he ordered
the mail planes to. leave the field
at 5 o'clock in the evening. think
ing it was 5 o'clock i'll the morning.
Another witness was Paul G..
Ricket, formerly in charge of the
rigging at the flying field in Mime
apolis. His testimony was centcred
about conditions there.
THE mail planes were permitted
to leave our field in such poor shape
for flying" he told the committee,
'that it was common for the men to
wager that the ships would never
reach their destination"
Ricket said the bets were made
with the consent of the superintend-
ent of the field and that frequently
the latter wagered small sums for
himself.
Charges of Waste.
Evidence of woeful waste. was
given in testimony concerning the
purchase of eight German junker
planes at cost of about $250,000,
only later to find that the machines
were utterly unadapted to the mail
service.
Witnesses testified that five of the
junkers have been totally destroyed
with their destruction seven pilots
lost their lives-and the remaining
three withdrawn from service be-
cause of the refusal of pilots to fly
them.
Evcrsole also declared that not
more than three of the 25 DeHavi-
land planes purchased year ago are
now in the service. They. too, he
said, were found useless and their
cost waste of public money.
Ricket startled the inspectors when
he averred that planes left the Min
neapolis field with their propel1ers
SO badly split that field attendants
had been warned to keep away from
them lest they should fly off.

inquiry recently appointed by POST
master General Will Hays to make
an exhaustive investigation into air
mail conditions.
Charges OF malfeasance in Office,
drunkenness on duty, and nonat-
tcntion to the condition of the mail
planes were made against two COM

the same time, testimony was given
of careless squandering of public
money and the exhibition of slight
concern over the safety of pilots.

to hang himself with. But the i'm
proyised rope, tied to the top OF his
cell, broke and he didn't even
stranglc. As guards approached his
cell shortly after they found the rope,
they heard him shout. He was
humping his head against the wall.
Neither the ropc-hanging or head
humping instance are considered
bona-fide attempts at suicide by Of
ficers.
1T was horsc-play pure and
simple" State Sheriff Gus Hyers said
today.
:Offiters, knowing Kings cunning
aud the lack of force used in
humping his head and the looseness
of the knots in the shirt, look upon
it as an attempt to gain sufficient
sympathy to foil any violence today
when he was taken to the court room.
There wasn't bruise on his head to-
day to indicate the humping he gave
his head the night before.
Employ New Guards.
Sufficient new men were on the
state pay roll today to offset the Il
penite1ntiary guards who went on a
strike yesterday morning. Joseph
Christians, one OF the striking guards,
issued statement today in which he
alleged that convicts were permitted
TO keep knives in their possession
and a number had knives in their
cells.
sWarden Fenton denied the charge
and in reply said that he had never
denied guard the right to search
cell for weapons and if guards knew
there were dangerous weapons in the
cells they were breaking the rules by
not demanding a search. At the
time of the murder it was reported
that several dangerous weapons were
found in cells, but Fenton declared
today that aside from the knife found
in Kings cell, none was found.
Convicts at the penitentiary voted
resolutions today extending sympa-
thy to the Taylor family and deplor-
ing Kings act which they described
as "Dastardly."
