HEADERS DIFFER IN OPINION ON SRE 0F ARMY House Membership Divided
 Into } Groups on Army z Reduction Question GENERAL. DEBATE ENDS Kahn Declares It Would Be
 False Economy to Make
 Cut Too Drastic
GENERAL. DEBATE ENDS

WASHINGTON, Mar. MA differ. ence of opinion was voiced by Repub- lican leaders in the house today over the size of the army during consider ation of the army appropriation bill. No sooner had Chairman Kahn or the military affairs committee expressed opposition to any reduction in the en- listed or officer strength than Rep- resentative Mondell, Republican lead ar, declared he approved action of the subcommittee which framed the bill in providing that by July 1, the enlisted personnel of the regular ar my must be cut to 115,000 men and the number of officers decreased to 11.000
 General debate was concluded late today and indications were that the house would reach a vote tomorrow or Monday on sections of the bill re- lating to the size of the army
 With party lines disregarded to certain extent, the, ouse membership appeared to be divided into three main groups-one determined to stand by the committee recommends tfons, another preparing to demand an army of 100000, while the third was lining up in support of the war department which requested pay al lowance sufficient to maintain 150,- 900 men an 13,000 officess during the coming fiscal year.
 During his address to the house, Dr. Kahn took the position 1t would be false economy" to order too dras- tic cut in the army's size He re- minded his colleagues that the Re- publicans and Democrats alike dur Ing the earlier stages of the war had stood behind a Democratic president in an attempt to build up an efficient machine. The splendid ex- ample" set them, he added, should be a lesson" to the appropriations com mittee.

DRY LAW SUITS
 IN STATE COURT
Federal Justice Machinery to Be Used if State Laws
 Not Stringent

WASHINGTON, Mar. 17.-Depart- ment of justice officials said today the announcement made in Chicago last night that prosecution of violat- ors of the federal prohibition act would be turned over to state off cials applied only to one particular case and not to prosecutions gener- ally.
 Prohibition officials said 1t had been the practice for some time to take prohibition violations into state courts instead of federal courts when ever the state law was equally as strong as the federal statutes.
 The department of justice is per fectly willing to have the state han dle violators of the prohibition laws If they will do so, otherwise the fed eral government machinery will be used, Attorney General Daugherty said here today in response to iaquir. les.
 Mir. Daugherty declared the state themselves should act and not de- pend upon the government but at the same time he was emphatic in assert ing that the federal machinery would be used vigorously against violators where the states fail to act. The at- torney general arrived here today from Palm Beach to return tomorrow with President Harding to Washing. ton.

Harding Proposes to Take Up Navy Fuel Situation on
 Return to Capital

ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla, Mar. r. - (By the Associated Press) - Presi. dent Harding informed Secretary Denby today upon his return to>Wash ington he would take up the navy fuel situation as result of congress sional reductions in appropriations for this purpose. He made this state ment when the secretary called him on long distance telephone and dis cussed the situation, which naval of. ficials say may result in drastic or ders being issued curtafling the movement of vessels.
 The appropriation for fuel Is car. ried in the second deficiency appro- ,priation bill and was reduced as the estimates originally came to the house appropriations committee, from over 100000 to $6,30O ,000. This fund would be used for the rest of the fiscal year. Subsequently both the house and senate agreed to this item.

COMM TEE OF OPERATORS AND
 MINERS ME I
Representatives of Both Sides Meet in Effort to Ward Off General Strike
MAY NOT BE IN TIME
Owners Emphatically Assert Every Angle of Industry
 Must Be Studied

NEW YORK. Mar. 1.-The anthra cite coal mine owners. and workers committee of eight states tonight be- gan toorganize for long series Of deliberations in an effort to avert a general strike by amicable settle ment of their wage disagreements. President John L. Lewis of the United Miners and Samuel D. Warri- ner, chairman of the operators poli- cies committee, both members of the committee of eight, were optimistic They expressed doubt. however. that a new wage scale could be drawn in tie to prevent suspension of mining operations in the hard coal fields on April 1.
 The whole mining industry. from the digging Of the coal in the collier les, to the shipment. distribution and sale to the consuming public. wil be taken into consideration in negntia- ting the new contract. 1t was said.
 The miners expressed detsrmin- ation to "get down to the bottom of costs and profitsS The owners were equally emphatic in asserting tha. every angle of the industry should be gone into.
 Despite the great divergence of views with which we begin negotia- tions. I believe the committee iu- tends honestly to try to work out a solution of the wage problem in the anthracite mines," was the statement of MT. Lewis.
 Neither he nor Mir. Warriner. speak ing for the operators, would predict upon what basis wages of the miners would be computed; whether the de- mands of the universal adoption of the check-off system would be con- sidered, or how long it was desired that the contemplated new contract should extend
 "The labor situation is constantly changing" said MT. Mariner. The cost of living is going down and there is considerable unemployment. High CT wages in the coal industry are impossible at this time. The public would have to pay the increase and 1t Is not prepared to do so"
 MT. Warriner refused to estimate what poction of possible cut in min CTS wages might be reflected in re- duced prices of coal to the consumer.
 Tt costs s5.50 a ton to produce an- thracite coal at the mine," he assert ed. Seventy per cent of this is la- bor cost. But inasmuch as forty per cent of the coal mined Is of buck wheat size, and only suitable for steam purposes. we sell it at below the cost of labor, thereby. losing mon- ey on forty per cent of our business"

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Mar IT, The jury in the case of Mrs. NMada. lynne Obenchain, charged with the murder of J. Belton Kennedy. after deliberating about two hours and a half, returned to court shortly after 4 o'clock this afternoon and asked to have a portion of the testimony read. Judge Sidney N. Reeves directed that this be done.
 The foreman of the jury said at least one of the jurors was in doubt concerning the testimony of a prose cution witness regarding auto lights he said he saw in Beverly Glen on the night Kennedy was slain there. The uncertainty, the foreman said, was whether the lights came from the car in which Mrs. Obenchain and Kenne- dy drove to the glen, or from one which the state coltended was left in side road by Arthur Purch, code fendant in the case. Burch. the pro secution alleged, hid in clump of bushes, waiting for Mrs. Obenchain to bring Kennedy within gunshot range after parking his car.
