MAKE DRASTIC
 REDUCTIONS IN
 NAVY ESTIMATE
Instead of Providing Funds For Personnel of 90,000,
 Number Cut to $, ,000

WASHINGTON, Mar 20.-(Ry the Associated Press) - Drastic reduc- tions in navy department estimates for the next fiscal year have been made by the house subcommittee on appropriations in framing the navy bill, which will be reported Saturday.
 Instead of providing fun,ls far an enlisted personnel of 90.G00 as urged by Secretary Denby, the committee, il was said today, fixed the total at 65,CQ0, aud authorized tho conmis- sioning of about 135 of ths 54l mem bers of the June graduating class at the naval academy
 In round numbers, the oil, will car ry something like $200, ,O0O,000, Us com pared with Denby's estimate of $350,- 100000.
 While the appropriations. commit tee was speeding up in the hope of having the measure ready by the end of the week, the house naval commit tee was at work on its bill fixing the navy's authorized strength and con- taining provisions necessary to, clear up new tangles in the naval academy situation. The roughi draft of the bill On which the committee worked today, called for total authorized enlisted strength of S5.O00, plus G,00O apprentices, as against 131.4S5, plus the same number of apprentices as now. A proportionate cut would be made in the commissioned personnel total.
 The bill will make provision for re tirement of officers and enlisted men on a pay-for-esrvice basis. so as to cut down the totals with due regard for the welfare of those affected. Offic CTS serving less than 10 years and en { listed men serving less than 12 would be honorably discharged and given one years pay.
 The bill provides for the repeal oi the law prohibiting retired officers from obtaining employment with con cerns furnishing supplies to the gov ernment or serving as diplomatic ant consular officers.

PACKERS ATTACK
 RESTRICTIVE ACT
Meat Packers Are Out to Kill Federal Packers Act to
 Regulate Trading

WASHINGTON, Mar. 20.-- A case of wide importance, involving the ef- fort of the federal government to reg ulate stockyard traders in the pack CTS act of 1921, was reached for oral argument in the supreme court today.
 The case has come up on appeal from the United States district court at Chicago in two cases, one brought by T. B. Stafford and others, and the second by James K. Burton and oth- CTS, the decision of the lower court being favorable to the government.
 The packers and stockyards act is being attacked by the trade on the grounds that the livestock reaching the various stockyards of the country has completed every phase of inter state commerce upon delivery to the commission merchants from whom the traders buy. end that no act of the traders is in interstate commerce or so intimately related to it as to give the federal government any con- trol over them.
 F, c. Goldman appeared as counsel Stafford and Levy Mayer for Burton.
 Congress has been trespassing since the war in its encroachments upon the states" asserted Mayer. and has reached its apex in this act"

 HOPE IF LARGER
 ARMY IN SIGH I
Very Little Prospect of House Agreeing to Any Increase
 in Army This Year

WASHINGTON, Mar. 2O.-After a conference today at he capitol with house Republican leaders, Secretary Weeks said he saw little prospect of the house agreeing to a larger army during the coming fiscal year than the force provided for in the army appro- priation bill-115,0OO men and II ,OOO officers.
 Reiterating his belief that pay pro- visions should be made for 143,000 men, exclusive of 1000 Phillipine scouts and 13,000 officers, the secre- tary of war said he had hoped the senate would insist on that strength.
 Weeks discussed the army situation with number of house members and. he said. found the sentiment general that the subcommittee which framed the pending appropriation would sue ceed in putting through it's recommen- dation fo reduction in enlisted and officer personnel. A vote on the strength provision of the bill probably will come within the next day or so.
 While at the capitol, Secretary Weeks was told by Representative Sission, Missippi. Democratic mem Der of the subcommittee, that he would offer an amendment providing for a reduction in enlisted personnel to 100000 men by July l.

 Against Millionaire

DETROIT, Mar. 20. John Duval Dodge, youthful millionaire, completed a five-day speeder's sentence at the house of correction this morning, spent the remainder of the day in con- sultation with his attorneys, and de- parted tonight for Kalamazoo, where tomorrow he is slated to face charges of driving an automobile while intox- icated and illegally transporting liquor.
 KALAMAZOO, Mich, Mar. 20.-De- claring that fright prompted her ac- tion, Miss Emmeline Kwakerneck, 19 year-old Western State Normal School coed, who was injured a week ago when she jumped from an automobile driven by John Duval Dodge, youthful Detroit millionaire, today told, for the first time, the circumstances sur rounding her injury.
 Miss Kwakerneck is still in a local hospital, where she was taken after the accident which led to charges of driving while intoxicated and illegally transporting liquor being filed against Dodge.
 Miss Kwakerneck said she had just left dance in company with Miss Ethel Clemens, her roommate, a Miss Sue Stegenga, friend from Grand Rapids, when an automobile drove, up, and the two young men in it, who later introduced themselves as Dodge and Rex Earl, of Kalamazoo, invited them to ride.
 Not knowing the men, they declined, she said, adding they explained they were on their way home and had only a short distance to go. Then. accord ing to Miss Kwakerneck, Dodge and Earl offered to take them home, and they accepted.
 When they drove right by our boarding house and headed out into the country at terrific speed. we all became frightened" she said. "We were all of us-we three girls--sitting in the back seat. and the men in front. Then a sudden impulse moved me to jump. When I woke up, was in the hospital here"
 Miss Kwakerneck was picked up unconscious by a passing motorist, and taken to the hospital. and when the incident was reported to the local duthoIiIleS, DOuBS anu Eoii NSio o' rested. The former stated later he and Earl just wanted to give the girls "a little ride"
 The only remaining evidence of Miss Kwakerneck's injury. which was first thought to be fractured skull. is scar over her right eye where she struck the ground, and she ex poets to be discharged from the hos. pital this week.

WASHINGTON, Mar 20.- Baked in their desire to get the measure up today under a suspension of the rules Republican house leaders in charge of the compromise soldiers bonus bill still were determined tonight to put the measure through this week. Their expressed intention was to call it up Thursday under a suspension of the rules if possible; otherwise under a special rule, which probably would shut out amendments.
 Before the house met today, the whole situation was laid before Pres ident Harding at the White House by a committee of house leaders, but the executive declined to make any rec ommendation. Upon leaving the pres ident's office, Representative Mon- dell of Wyoming, who headed the committee, issued this written state ment:
 The legislative situation relating to the bonus bill was fully presented to the president, with detailed ex- planation of the provisions which re- move the menace of excessive drafts on the treasury in the immediate fut- ure. and avoid any program of added taxation. The president went over the entire situation, with an apprais- al of commitments made. He advis- ed the committee that the Legislation is a responsibility of congress and in view Of expressions previously made, he did not think it essential to offer

"The government demanded and the peasants cheerfully gave 60 per cent of the products of the farms. Then the government, by force, took the remaining 40. Peasants told me time and time again that had the gov ernment not taken this 40 per cen many of these (famine) conditions need not have happened"

Fey Provost, Missing Witness Says She Will Return if

SAN FRANISCCO. Mar. 20.-At- tempts of the prosecution to remove Juror Edward w. Brown on the ground of bias and prejudice, despite the fact that he had already been ac- cepted and sworn, featured the ses- sion today in the trial of Roscoe C.. C-'atty) Arbuckle on a manslaughter charge. A recess was called on two occasions during the day on account of the Brown matter, the first to allow the defense to prepare an argument in the jurors support, and the second to allow the court to make an inde- pendent investigation at the conclu- sion of the defenses answering ar gument.
 Assistant District Attorney Leo Friedman, at the opening of the ses- sion, announced that the prosecution wished to exercise it's last peremp- tory challenge on Brown. A support ing affidavit stated that the juror, a grocer, has been twice prosecuted for alleged violations of the state pure food laws. and that he held a preJu- dice therefore against District Attor- ney Brady, the prosecuting officer. The defense attorney, Gavin McNab, answered that the district attorney was cognizant of all these facts and should have challenged Brown before he was finally sworn, and that it would be a violation of the law to excuse the juror at this time.
 The court was under the opinon that his decision, which is expected tomorrow morning, will be somewhat of a nrecedent The Brown develop ment halted the selection of second alternate juror.
 Fey Provost, missing prosecution witness in the case, Is in New Orleans and will return to San Francisco to testify if transportation is furnished her, according to telegram from her read in court today by Milton T, U'ren assistant district attorney.

the Industry grew steadily until in
1911 1t became OF sufficient impor-
lance to attract the attention OF the
United states geological survey, and
II was for that year that the first
production figures were recorded by
that body.
As early as 1905 applications were
nled for United states letters patent
covering the extraction OF gasoline
from natural gas by the absorption
method. and mp to 1911 great deal
Of experimental work was carried on

gasoline so extracted. In 1913 "a plant

the absorption method was con-
structed at Hastings, W. v. and this
was probably the first plant OF its
kind OF any consequences
Rapid Growth of the Industry.
The growth Of the industry from
1911 to the present time has far ex-
ceeded any early expectation. the
production today being equal to ap-
proNlmately 10 per cent of the total
gasoline manufactured from petro-
leum and its products by all pro-
cesses.
The accompanying table prepared
from records of the United States
geological survey, is of considerable
interest, in that is sets forth clearly
this growth i'm gallonage and value

to add an AVERAGE daily production
Of 1,750.0Q0 gallons for 1922 or n to-
tai for the year Of G3S.75l 900
which will bring the total production
to 2,6041S4,942 gallons. To the va ue
OF the product up 10 and including
1921, it is conservative to add $780,
$4,000. representing the value Of
the production for the current year,

Absorption Gains Favor.
After the discovery that gasoline
could be extracted profitably by the
compression method from wet" gas
only and on account OF the develop
ment of the compression process be-
ing more rapid than absorption, only
wet gas of high gasoline content was
sought by gasoline manufacturers.
As absorption methods were i'm
proved and perfected the product

with the trade, on account OF the
lower volatility and the ease with
which the product could be handled
