armed men, of which he was a mem
Der, raided the home of Matthias ana
Fidel Elduayen, at IngleWood, a sub.
urb, was in prospect today.
w. O.. Doran, chief deputy district
attorney, declared that while the pri-
hnary object o fan inquest was to
determine the cause of death, in this
case he supposed to try to learn who
composed the Eaiding band-various-
ly estimated at, from 100 to ESQ men
and who and what inspired them.
Mr.. Doran said there was no doubt
that Frank Woerner, night marshal
of Inglewood, who responded to ap-
peals of neighbors of the Elduayens
was justified in firing the shots that
killed Washer and wounded his son,
Walter E. Mosher, and Leonard
Ruegg, a deputy sheriff, the latter

band of raiders; William S. Coburn

PERSH|NC SAYSU. s.
NEEDS LARGE ARMY

WASHINGTON, ! April 25.-The
United States with adequate mill
tary preparation and under strong
leadership" could have prevented the
occurrence of the World war, Gen
eral Pershing declared today in tes-
tifying before the senate military
committee in behalf CT the war de-
'partme11t's plea for an increase in
the military establishment over that
proposed by the house.
I Failure to recognize the existence
of "envy, jealousy and hatred"
among nations as among individuals,
he said, has invariably sent the
United States unprepared into a
great crisis and caused unnecessary
loss of life and left us staggering
under financial burdens"
The chaotic state of the greater
part Of the world and the striking of
new balances of power, SUCH as the
treaty between Germany and Russia
were pointed to by Secretary of War
Weeks, in testifying to show the
necessity Of preserving an adequate
American army.
Secretary Weeks declared in con-
GLIDING his testimony that he could
mot think of greater folly" than the
reduction of the army below $50 900.
For the United States to 'sremain-
weak and unprepared in the face of
such a situation as exists i'm the
world today ''is to invite aggression"

John Doe Legally Dead;
Is Thrown Out of u. S.
SUPREME Court by Taft

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Johp
Doe was thrown out of the United
States supreme court, and as he
disappeared Chief Justice Taft sug-
gested that he might be considered
dead.
The action of the court was taken
when the state of Massachusetts
fought to argue a case dockete6 as
John Doe, demise Of common
wealth of Massachusetts," against
the city of Rochester, N. Y, and
others. The proceedings seek to
quiet title to certain land in Roches-
ter claimed by Massachusetts under
the treaty of Hartford concluded in
1856. Under this treaty New York
was granted all land extending down
70 the water of Lake Ontario. Since
then land, which the city of Roches-
ter wants for park and other munich
pal purposes, has arisen from the
lake and now is claimed by the
state of Massachusetts.
In bringing the original proceed
ings in the supreme court the John
Doe" practice of the old English
form of the kings bench was used.
AS soon as argument was begun
it. developed that not only the chief
justice but a number of the as
sociate justices objected to the form.
Justice Van Devanter demanded: "Is
John Doe. in court?" and Justice
McReynolds and other members Of
the court interjected comment. A
hasty, inference on the bench re-
suited in Chief Justice Taft ordering
John Doe out of court, with direc-
lions to counsel o substitute a mod

Speeding Car Turns
Turtle and Youth
Is Seriously Injured

A young man, twenty years old,
believed to be Leon Nichols, is at
Grady hospital in a dying condi-
ton as a result Of trying Tuesday
afternoon to elude two county po-
lice officers on the PAGES Ferry
road with a carload of liquor. He
WAS rushed to the hospital after his
machine had turned turtle two or
three times, and it is believed ne
will die from his injuries.
County Policemen A. A. Stovall
and G. Webb saw the car at the
junction Of PAGES Ferry road and
Mt. Perrin road and gave chase. The
operator, realizing he was pursued,
increased his speed and when he
struck a curve at Nancy's creek on
the PAGES Ferry road one of the
wheels Of the car crumpled, causing
the heavy machine to turn over sew
eral times.
The young man was. pinned I'M
der the car and was rescued by the
county officers. 1t is believed he
has a fractured skull and other Sc
we're injuries. The car, which is said
to have contained seventy-five gal
Ions of whisky, was completely
wrecked.

TRIALS Of MINERS
ARE AGAIN DELAYED

CHARLESTOWN, w. Va, April
25.-(By the Associated Press.)-
Progress Of the trials Of district Of
ficers and members Of the United
Mine Workers on indictments in con-
nection with the march of armed
men in the southern West Virginia
coal fields last summer, was further
delayed in circuit court here TINS
morning when Judge j. M. Woods
ordered a recess until 2 p. m.
President G. F. Keeney, OF district
II of the miners union, and the
twenty-five other defendants named
in indictments charging treason,
were in court when Judge Woods
took the bench, expecting to hear
his decision on the defense motion
to quash that specific indictment.
The motion was argued yesterday
the defense contending that the
language Of the indictment was
faulty in that it did not coptain the
word "felonfously' and failed to set
forth alleged overt acts committed
by the defendants.
Prosecution s unset argued that
the word 'traitorously' was the
proper substitute for "felon1ously'
and late in the day Judge Woods an
nounced he would take the question
under advisement.
Court attaches and those interest
ed in the trials said they felt sure
Jude Woods would render a decision
on the motion when court recon
yened this afternoon.

INSURANCE PLAN
BONUS APPROVED

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Repre-
sehtatives Of veterans organizations
today virtually accepted the new
Smoot- cCumber soldier bonus plan,
in 8 conference with Republican
members of the finance committee.
This means that, if the plan proves
acceptable to a majority OF the Re-
publicans in the senate, the bonus
will consist primarily of 20-year
insurance plan probably with a pro-
vision under which the ex-service
man can borrow from a bank after
three to five years.
No decision was reached by COM
mittee members today on any detail
of the BILL They will meet later
today in an effort to get together
4eaa- the main points, which then will
be submitted for President Harding S
approval.
Representative of the American
Legion and the Veterans of Foreign
Wars told the Republican members
today:
That they would be satisfied with
the $50 cash bonus limit now in the
bill, instead of the $500 limit pro-
posed to them yesterday by Sena'
tors Srnoot and McCumber.
That they were satisfied to fore
go the provision of the house bill
relating to grants Of reclaimed land.
but insisted on retention Of the
farm and home aid provisions.
That they wanted the borrowing
feature included in the insurance
plan.
! Senators McCumber and Smoot, in
the plan they worked out, provid-
ed that the bulk of the bonus claims
should be paid with 20-year in
surance.
There was no borrowing provision
Included. The veterans said they
did not insist on being able to Dor
row from the government, but
would like to be able to borrow from
banks after three to five years.
Senator McCumber is willing to
include that provision but some
others senators are not.
Gin general" said Senator Wat
son, Indiana, "they We're willing to
let us work out the bill. am sure
we will have no trouble getting to-
gether with the service men,"
