MILITIA CHIEF
VISITS STANLEY
ON INSPECTION
Texas Cities Will Be Build

He Predicts.
EXPLAINS ERIE PLAN
Citizen-soldiers Must Take
Place Of Army, Rick
ards Says.

That Texas cities in less than year
will be building dozens of national
guard armories was the belief of Mai.
Gen. George C. Richards, chief of the
militia bureau. who arrived in San An
tonic Wednesday night and Thursday
was inspecting the seth Cavalry Bri-
gade. Texas National Guard, at Camp
Stanley.
Major General Richards called at
tention 10 the fast diminishing regular
army force. In his home town, Erie.
Ia. typical experience was had by
cltizen-soldiers, the general said. which
may lead the way for Dallas. Fort
Worth. Houston. San Antonio and
other cities in this state. .-.
Although it is not generally
known" Major General Richards said,
the national guard gets considerable
financial support from private indiyid-
uals and corporations in addition to
the sometimes small state apprcpria-
tons and the federal aid.
In Erie, soon after the war. We
called group of leading business men
together and explained to them that
our city of 5000 population which had
supported but one militia company
before the war. must furnish a bat
TALON of troops for the reorganized
national guard. Figures of military
men show that n town such as Erie
must needs have a battalion of men
trained at all times. provided America
is to avoid danger of war through fail
ure to be prepared.
Formed a Corporation.
First. we formed $125,000 corpor-
alton. obtained site for an armory
and the state of Pennsylvania equalled
our money with fund granted by the
Legislature. sOur plan grew and grew
until now we have a 100000 prop
erty, with two units of proposed five.
unit armory built.
Every city in Texas could do tho
same thing. believe.
This fall or carly spring, the gener.
al staff will know just how many men
can be depended upon TO fall out in
case of emergency. There will be a
call to arms for all regula. army, ma
tional guard and reserve forces.

ter. ordnance, officers and men will
gather at their home stations as though
there were to be war that night Those
too far away to reach their organiza
ton will report by telephone or tele
graph. Reports then will be forwarded
on to Washington.
Until this plan or some similar plan
is worked out. the government car
only estimate the size of its d .,endable
forces. Few would hazard guess as
to the actual size of our next way
army.
Certainly. in a few years. the
trained men willing and able for mill.
tary service will be fewer than any of
us dare believe. unless io..al guard
units are kept intact all over the
country.
Guard i'm Good Shape.
"The national guard is in a better
position today than ever before. The
regular army force is much smaller:
citizen-soldiers must take their place.
The proposed mobilization is
much cheaper method of finding out
what America has in the way of>men
and equipment than the first method

The Washington Viewpoint

Washington, Jan. 4.-(By A. P. }
The dissolution at Paris of the con-
ference of Allied leaders was regard
ed here as bringing the Preparations
crisis measurably near the point
touched upon by Secretary Hughes
in his recent New Haven speech. But
although the Allied statesmen have
failed to agree among themselves
there still stands before them an al
tentative to attempted forcible COL
lection in Germany pointed out by
Mr.. Hughes.
There was no word available in
official quarters today to Indicate
that any further initiative was to be
expected at this time from the
Washington government. The only
authorized comment on the situa-
ton was statement at the State
Department that Mr.. Hughes sug-
gestion was put forward to leave
several doors OPEN" to the premiers
in the event of an emergency.
Presumably word will come from
Paris if the French government sees
hope in the American suggestion
that not alone the question of the
amount Germany can pay. but also
the method of payment be referred
for advisory recommendations to an

Mr.. President, Senators and Re-
personalities:
We. gather here in accordance with
law as the chosen representatives of
a free people. The blessings that we
citizens of Maine now enjoy were
not obtained through our own efforts
but through those of men and women
of former generations. We are prone
to accept them as commonplace. and
often forget that centuries of Strug-
gle were necessary for their realiza-
ton. If no backward step is taken
and if this great inheritance is
transmitted intact to those who fol-
low, our part will have been well
done.
Our system of government is the
finest yet devised by man. for it al
lows to the individual the maximum
of liberty consistent with the liber-
ties of others. AS members of this
government it's burdens and it's OPP
portunitieS are ours. and as leglsla-
tors you occupy positions of greater
Importance than appears to the aver
age citizen. Your purpose is serious.
You are court in which conflicting
interests plead their causes. where
rules of evidence have little weight.
and restraints are few. A legislator
unmoved by selfishness and possessed
of ability both to attack and de-
fend has an unusual opportunity to
render service to his fellow citizens.
Some legislators base their sue
cess as public servants upon the
amount of public money they bring
home to their constituencies. Each
legislator, however. represents all
the people of the State. not alone
those of his particular district. and
what he accomplishes for the gener-
al welfare is the true standard or
measurement for his service.
The opening of a legislature Is a
memorable event in the history of
the State. You are one of three CO.
ordinate branches of government:
the Legislature makes laws for the
Judiciary to interpret and the EXecu-
tive to administer. For the time be-
ing the State is in your hands. You
express the pepople's will. have the
power to make or mar. and next to
the people themselves are the court
of last resort. All good citizens eX-
meet that your record in upholding
moral standards, in furthering good
causes. and in promoting the highest
interests of the State will be cred
liable one.

Executive outlines the accomplish

On Preparations Meets
Senate Opposition

WaShjnpton Jan. 4.-The drive Tor
official American representation on the
reparations commission was 1ormaiiE
LAUGHED in the Senate today with the
administrations attitude undisclosed,
but with a declaration of war from the
Republican "irreconsilable" camp.
After a White House conference to-
day between Senator Lodge of MasSa-
chusetts, Republican leader. and Pres
| jdent Harding and George Harvey,
| American amba ssador to Great Britain.
and an hours debate in the Senate. a
special meeting of the Senate foreign
relations committee was called for to-
morro,.- by Senator Lodge to take up
the bill of Senator Robinson, Demo-
Graf, Arkansas. which would authorize
the president to appoint American rep
resentativeS on the commission.
The foreign relations committee Will
determine tomorrow the procedure to
be followed with the resolution. whose
! Importance, Senator Lodge told the
Senate, was fully realized in view of
the break today at Paris on the rcpa-
rations question. Senator Lodge has
not yet conferred on the question with
Secretary Hughes of the state depart
mcnt. but it is expected that the COM
mittee will arrange to obtain MI.
Hughes opinion on the Robinson bill
and also obtain information as to the
administration position with reference
to the reparations and other questions
in Europe.
Senator, Robinson spoke at some
length in support of his measure.
which he said was not designed to en-
barrass the administration but to "un-
tic" the presidents hands because OF
the reservation to the Berlin peace
treaty prohibiting appointment OF
Americans on foreign commissions
without congressional authorization.
Arguing for official representation
on the rcparations commission, Senator
Robinson said that President Harding
was forced, because of the treaty pro-
hibition requiring the consent of Con-
gress, to follow former President Will
sons plan of unofficial representation.
Senator johnson of California. a
prominent "rreconcilable," Immediate
| ly opposed the Robinson proposal. and
Senator Brandegee of Connecticut. an
other Republican "irreconclable," indi-
Gated his opposition to official repre-
sentation. Again denouncing the repa-
rationS commission as "super-goV-
eminent" Senator johnson said mill

from enforcement of it's decisions. He
said he was opposed to any action

Federal Dry Agent
Wins Petition for
Trial in u. S. Court

Boston, Jan. 4.-Edward Began. a
prohibition agent, who shot and IA
tally wounded Joseph Sequeria dur
ing liquor raid last summer. will
be tried in the federal court. Judge
Morton in a decision handed down
today removed the case from the
jurisdiction of the Suffolk county au-

murder in the second degree was re-
turned against Began in October by
a Suffolk county grand jury.
"While the question is not free
from doubt" said Judge Morton's
opinion, II think the right of re-
moval is protection to the prohi-
bition agents in the enforcement of
the act. It follows that the petition
should be allowed"

ovERRULE C0AkLEy
IN herman SUIT TO
RECOVER $4,000

Boston. Jan. 4-The full bench of
the Supreme Court today overruled
a demurrer filed by Daniel Fl. Coax
ley, disbarred Boston attorney, to a
bill in equity brought by Meyer Ber-
man. a hotel proprietor. to compel
Coakley to account for $4,000 which
Berman claims was eXtorted from
him by threats of criminal prosecu-
ton. The alleged incidents on which
Bernard brought his suit were re-.
viewed recently by special grand
jury which is considering possible in
dictments on tho evidence on which
Joseph c. Peiletier was removed as
district attorney of Suffolk County.
In his bill which tOday's decision
allows him to maintain, Berman al
leges that in October, 1916, Coakley
informed him that William j. Cor
coran, a former district attorney of
Middlesex County, had complained to
District Attorney Pelletier that Ber-
man had permitted a certain woman
to share a room in his hotel with a
man, not her husband. Berman en-
gagged Coakley as his counsel, and on
Coakley's advice, he alleges, paid
$4,000 in two amounts of $4,000 and
$4,000 to avoid prosecution. A pur-
ported confession of Corcoran. de-
claring the existence of a blackmail
ring of attorneys, figured in the Pelle-
tier trial and was presented to the
special grand jury today.
Chief Justice Rugg in the opinion
handed down today said that al
though the courts would neither aid
in the enforcement of, nor afford
relief against the evil consequences
Of an illegal or unlawful contract, an
exception to this general doctrine was
"as widely recognized and as
thoroughly established as the rule it.
self" The exception he said, was
that. where tho parties are not in
equal fault as to the illegal element
of the contract and where there are
elements of public policy more out
ragged by the conduct Of one than the
other, relief in equity may be granted
to the less guilty.

between the plaintiff and the defen-
dant is averred in unmistakable
terms in the DILL" the opinion con-
tiued. "That relation IS highly fidu-
CARY in it's nature. The attorney is
not permitted by law to take advan-
tage of his client"
