Strength of.
Army Fixed.
at 100000.
Proposal Accepted by Senate
Committee Provides for In.
crease Of $4,000 Over
Bill Passed by House.
Bitter Fight Predicted

Washington. May i7.-An army OF
10000 men with an average officer
strength for the next year OF appfosi-
mately 1880 was agreed upon late
today by the senate appropriations
subcommittee which has charge OF
the measure.
The subcommittee draft OF the War
department appropriation bill. which
has yet TO be acted upon by the iull
committee. proposes increases OF 25,-
600 in the enlisted personnel aud
about ! 500 in officers. over the house
provision. The officer strength is
prcdicatcd upon the bill suggested by
Gen. Pershing, and his proposals as
10 methods OF cutting the present
number OF officers were accepted by
the subcommittee in principle.
Although the size agreed upon by
the subcommittee represents a cut
oi 10000 from the strength asked
for by the War department. its ac-
ceptancc by the subcomkittcc with,
IL was understood. only ono vote
against il, was regarded as forecast
ing its acceptance by the full appro-
priations committee and probably its
passage by the senate.
Battle Expected.
The question OF the size OF the
army is expected to precipitate bat
lie between the house and senate,
provided the latter sustains the COM
mittec action. The house engaged
in bitter fight over the appropria-
ton bill. the final vote fixing the
strength at 1000 officers and ll5,000
men.
The co:.mittce was unable to de-
termine the cost OF the service under
the size OF the army upon which, it
decided. The present pay rate ex-
pircs automatically June 80, and il
no other provision is made the pay
schedule OF 1908 will go into effect,
but bill for new basis OF pay has
pcssed the house and awaits action
in the senate.
The exact appropriation required
10 comply with that bill has not been
estimated for the 100000 army. Chair
man Wadsworth OF the subcommit-
tee plans to seek action on the new
pay bill late tomorrow.
Acceptance OF the Pershing pro-
posal affecting the officer strength
would mean. it was said, that a max
inum of $4,000 officers could be re-
tanned after July /, but at the end OF
this year the number OF officers
would be close to 1000.
To Retire Officers Gradually.
The Pcrshing plan contcmplatcs
the retirement of the surplus officers
gradually. The house provision for
1l,0OO officers would have made it
obligatory on the War Department
TO discharge nearly 5000 by June 5O
About 1000 officers would have been
willing to accept a reduction in rank
in which event the cut would have
been slightly under 1000.
The draft was said not to have in
cluded the Philippine scouts, num-
bering about 1000 i'll the strength OF
100000. The figure. however. is only
about 1900 below the actual strength
OF the army on April ] and will mean,
therefore. only small reduction IT.
the enlisted strength which it was
said would be accomplished on eN-
piration OF enlistments.

Pinchot's lead was obtained en-

which Pittsburgh is located. The
vote in the outside districts ss un-
officially reported was Alter, 282.97o;

Philadelphia. Pa. May N.-Gii-
ford Pinchot has apparently won the
republican nomination ior governor
on the face OF unofficial returns
w. Harry Baker. secretary OF the
state republican committee declared
IN a statement issued this afternoon.
Unless Allegheny county gives a
la, ger majority than my advices in
dicatc then there is no doubt that
Pinehot carried the state the state
ment said. .... ....
"The result in Philadelphia and
other parts OF the state has undoubt-
edly contributed TO the Pinchot vic.
tory. which | am prepared to con-
cede," Mr.. Baker said.
Plans Fishing Trip.
Expressing confidence that he had
won the nomination. Mr.. Pinchot
planned 10 leave Philadelphia today
TO go fishing.
Returns from 6.l7s OF the 1884
districts in the state, received shortly
after Secretary Baker made his an
nouncement, had reduced Mr.. Alters
majority to 1906. The vote was:
Alter, 443,390; Pinchot. 43l, l,o94.
Alter is the regular organization
candidate supported by Governor

leading by little more than $4,000.
These returns included all but six
districts in Philadelphia, an Alter
stronghold, and more than onc-half
of Allegheny county, in which Pitts
burgh is located and which is the
attorney generals home. The ma

outside of Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh, where Pinchot ran very
strong.

incumbent by appointment OF the
governor, won by substantial ma
jority over Congressman-at-Larg
William J.. Burke of Pittsburgh for
the nomination for United States
senator to fill the unexpired term of
the late Boies Penrose.
Apparently only one woman cap
tured a republican nomination for
the state legislature. She was Miss

gheny county. Six women were
named by the democrats for the
Legislature and two for representa-

nominees were Ellen Duan Davis in

lessons wife last November. Poulin
is at liberty on bond pending a hear
ing tomorrow on a warrant obtained
Saturday in a justice of the peace
court

day. At his home Mrs. Poulin ex-
pressed absolute faith in her husband
and declared that he is the victim of
a false charge. The Poulins have two

| Following Poulin's arrest Professor
Herman issued a dramatic statement
denouncing Poulin and declaring that
he was making the fight as an issue
/ of moral principle. He will press
/ the charges at tomorrow hearing, he
/ indicated. He declared that the two
| families had been the closest friends,
4 that Poulin had destroyed his home
and had imposed upon their friendship
