Thousands of gasoline users have been led to be-

There are. however. many facts that show how

BORAH WOULD CUT

Offers Resolution In Senate - Wants
Americans Returned From

WASHINGTON, Aug. GA resolu-
ton to reduce the strength of the regu-
lar army from 100000 to 100000 en-
listed men was offered in the senate yes
terday by Senator Borah. who in a speech
urged the most rigid economy in govern

amendment would in itself mean the saw
ing of $100,000.000.
Senator Borah further asserted that in

that while in his opinion the financial
problem is not partisan. the fact remains
that the Republicans are in control and
that the country expects them not to in

present strength and taxes are increased
he said. the Republican majorities in
both houses of congress will be substan-

Another way to reduce expenses, Sen

American troops from the Rhine. Ger

BOMB SUSPECT FREED
AFTER THREE MONTHS
Federal Prosecutor Joyce Says Weight
of Testimony Favored
Giuseppe de FiIipis.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6. - Giuseppe de
Filipis, who has been in prison or free
under bail since early in May on suspi-
cion that he was the driver of the bomb
wagon that caused the explosion in Wall
street on Sept. 16. 1920, has been set
free by United States Commissioners
Hitchcock with the consent of Federal
Prosecutor joyce.
During the inquiry into the life, habits
and associates of de Filipis several per-
sons positively identified him as the man
who drove the bomb wagon, and others,
equally reputable. identified him as the
man whom they had seen hurrying from
the scene of the explosion. Then came
others. just as reputable and more nu-
merous, who testified that on the day
and at the time of the explosion de Fill
ipis had been seen carting grapes through
the streets of Bayonne, y. J., where he
lives and does business.
All of this testimony" Mr.. Joyce
said yesterday, was honest and sincere,
but the weight of it was in favor of the
accused, and the balance could not be
turned. Therefore, the only thing to do
was to consent to a dismissal of the COM
plant on which the accused has been held
and to discharge the $4,000 bail. This
has been done"
