WASHINGTON, Juno r.-The United States does not contemplate a great increase in its mir fleet such as has been announced by Great Britain, which purposes to double its forces, it was said today at the war department Instead. Secretary Weeks is understood to take the po- sition that the army air service should continue to pioneer the way in development of new types of i'm proved military quality rather than to attempt under the present con- dition of national finances to main tain equality with particular na- tion

EVERY DOUGHBOY MAY BE MACHINE GUNNER

WASHINGTON. June 27.-Every doughboy may be practically ma chine gunner in future wars, due to progress made by ordnance ex- perts in developing a emi-automatic shoulder rifle to displace the regular service magazine guns. Recent dem onstration firing with the latest post war model the Garand semi-auto- matic, at the Aberdeen. Md, proving grounds has convinced many of the officers that they arc on the road to the long-sought solution of the proper weapon for the infantry. ..
 The Garand, named after it's in ventor, John c. Garand, long em- ployed at the Springfield arsenal, is one of the numerous semi automa tics with which army experts have been working. It is approximately the same size and weight as the army standard Springfield magazine action rifle, with which all American froces are equipped, said to be the most effective military rifle in the world The Springfield. with operation of the bolt necessary to reload for each shot. has a maximum rate of about 25 a minute. while the Garand developed speed of SO shots a minute during the firing at Aberdeen.

KANSAS FARMER WAS
 "ORIGINAL" FORD MAN

HlAW ATHA, Kan, June 27.-A0 the boom for Henry Ford for a presi- dential candidate continues to grow and gain momentum. Kansas farm CT watches with pride the results of his efforts in organizing what is known here as the Original Ford for-President club"
 John G. kale, called by local ad- mirers, the The original Ford man." because he was the first to start an active campaign to obtain infor nation on what the American peo- pie thought of the great car manu facturer as presidential possi- bility.
 Kale was just plain Brown county farmer" attracted nation wide interest as the secretary for the Ford-for-President club" The club was formed last winter with Kale as the one and only charter member.
 The Brown county farmer went about his work quietly and without seeking any financial assistance. be- gun sending out petitions, first to his friends. asking them to sign if they regarded Ford as likely presiden- tial candidate. Answers were quickly received and Kale increased his mall ing list until more petitions are re- ceived daily than he can read.
 The club intends to continue send- inE out petitions right up to the time Ot the ndtlOIdi II HtCcS- sary," Kale said Wednesday night.
 After sending a petition to the Dearborn manufacturer signed by practically the entire community here, the following reply came from F.. G. Reibold, Ford's general secre- tary.
 Mir. Ford begs to express his ap- preciation of your interest and that of your community. However. it will be impossible for him to accede to any request to become interested in politics; if the people, however, pre- fer to nominate him, that. of course, is another question"
 The secretary of the Original Ford for President club" is a man past middle age, does not consider himself a politician and admits that he has never mixed in the game" before Like thousands of other farmers his only acquaintance with the great manufacturer has been through the use of Dearborn prod ucts."

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. June 27.-P. P. Claxton, provost of the University of Alabama and a leader of the educa- tional work in the state since coming here in July. 1921. has announced his resignation from the faculty of the university. Dr. Claxton has ac- cepted the position of superintendent of city schools in Tulsa, Okla.
 Dr. ClaXton's two years work in Alabama has been largely mission- ary work in the creation of an ap- preciation and of interest in higher institutions of learning in the state. He is the father of the proposed millage tax law which will be placed before the coming session of the legislature in an effort to provide a substantial foundation for the build- ing of the institutions of higher learning in Ala bama.
 Plenty of money with which to build and carry on educational work in Tulsa is understood to be the purpose of the consideration in in ducing Dr. Claxton to leave the uni versity.

 The announced desire of foreign shipping lines to establish their right to bring In beverage liquors under seal 1t was said, also has de- layed consideration of the seizure penalties No test case has been brought. however, despite the almost daily docking of vessels carrying liquor in violation of the supreme court ruling.

HINES TO CONFER WITH PEOPLE OF TUSKEGEE JULY s
Will Seek Understanding Up- on Negro Veterans Bu-
 reau Hospital
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD


 The epochdl conference between Gen. Frank T. Hines, director of the United States Veterans bureau, and the citizens of Tuskegee, relative to the determination of President Hard ing to put negroes in supreme con trol of the governments hospital for former negro soldiers at Tuskegee, will be an event of July 6, it is learned by this bureau today.
 The director will leave Washington July and will spend three days i'm specting the bureaus hospital facili- points. He will then go to Tus- kegee. Nothing approaching pro- gram has been devised The director will be met, he expects, by citizens of Tuskegee. augmented possibly by state officials, weith authority to speak of what has been described as delicate" situation, possible of re- sulting in conflicts between the races.
 President Harding, it oan be stated positively has never been able to understand why citizens of TUskegee, who have for years lived amicably in close contact with the Tuskegee institute, a negro school officered by negroes. should object to negro off cers placed in charge of a hospital for negro soldiers. He has been made to understand by directors of the as- sociation for the advancement of the colored race that there would be no difference in the hospital situation and the educational situation. The Presidents mental state is in com mon with that of many other off clals of the government who have no practical understanding of the negro problem.
 Will See Difference.
 It is learned that before General Hines reaches Tuskeree ba will hA informed that there is a vast diff ference between negroes in civil life such as those at the Tuskegee in- stitute and those in military life such as will officer and attend the hos- pital. It will be pointed out to the director that whereas the officers of the institute in cooperation with white citizens have been able to main tain peaceful relations between the races that condition could not pre- vail when negroes from all sections, believing that they will be sustained in whatever they undertake by the army of the United States, are col lected for treatment in the heart of the south.
 General Hines, it is learned today is anxious that the people talk very frankly with him. As head of the bureau he is committed to carrying out of the policy of the President That fact, however, would not deter him from making a very frank re- port to the President as soon sas he is advised of the actual facts.
 There is little question in Wash ington, however. but that as result of the insistence of the Association for the Advancement of the Colored Race, only the most telling argument could cause the President to cir cumscribe his policy.

STATE WITNESSES PAID, |S CHARGE
 IN FL0GG|N6 CASE
Florida Whipping Boss Attor- neys Make Sensational
 Accusations In Court

LAKE CITY. Fla, June 27.- Charges that the state conducted school for instructlng it's witnesses under "the manipulations" of G. Crimson, assistant attorney general of North Dakota, were made today Thomas Walter Higginbctham, con vict whipping boss, charged with the murder of Martin Tabert of North Dakota.
 The defense alleged that funds "sent down here from North Dakota" were being generously distributed among the states witnesses and also charged that MT. Crimson freely dis tributed pamphlets among the wit nesses as to his findings. as the re- suit of an investigation conducted by him into the death of Tabert.
 Lengthy arguments by the defense to have certain testimony stricken from the record brought about the charges of schooling the states wit nesses No action was taSen by Judge M. A. McMullin, presiding. Laugh At Charges.
 MT. Crimson laughed at the ac- cusation made by the defense, declar- ing it was the first time he was ever accused of being school teacher"
 Charges of distributing funds from North Dakota seems to me play for the jury. There. are, of course. no foundation for such charges" he declared. Seven state witnesses told the jury that Tabert was subjected to severe" flogging by Higginbotham, which to the best of their knowledge brought about the death of the North Dakotan.
 Higginbotham is on trial on charge of first degree murder In con
 ho n who at the time was serving term in the county lease corfvlct camp of the Putnam Lumber company at Clara, Fla, 16 months ago. The case was brought here from Dixie county on motion by the state that fair and impartial trial could not be secured there.
 The proceedings today were inter- spcred with lively clashes between counsel for the state and defense. Sarcastic remarks were hurled quite frcquently and reached such a state that Judge McMullin held confer ence with the attorneys in order that the trial could proceed more harmoniously. During the afternoon Florida sunshine made court of ficials, jurymen and spectators swell ter. Once during the proceedings Judge McMullin ordered a palmetto fan given each juror. The twelve men afterwards in their shirt sleeves famed briskly as the defense put each of the state witnesses through 6 hard grilling.

 A. B. Shivers, former convict guard. was regarded as the most im- portant witness during the day. On direct examination, he gave a recital as to how Tabert was whipped by Higginbotham. He was rather dra- matic in displaying to the jury the manner. in which he charged cHig- ginbotham used the lash.

------ Three More Vessels Dock At New York

NEW YORK. June 27.-Three more foreign liners. the Chicago of the French line, the Olympic of the White Star and the Cunarder Sax return supplies of liquor under gov ernment seals. This brings to 13 the total of arrivals to test the recent treasury department ruling prohibit ing the carrying of liquor Into United States ports. Of these the seals of only four have been broken so far. They are the Baltic, the Berengarla. the Paris and the Cedric.
 No seizures were made today, and shipping officials predicted that if nasty action were not taken some of the liners would be kept in port over their schedules.
 The latest arrival, the Saxonia, which came through quarantine late today, carried under the British crown seal 691a gallons of wine, 11014 gallons of spirits and 3.501 bot ties of ale and stout. This is the fourth vessel of the White Star line to test the ruling.
 Representative of lines here said that the problem would be left for solution to diplomatic agents in Washington. They refused to com ment on reports from Washington that regular prohibiting the bring ing of liquor into United States ports
 
 as a liquor carrier and arrest of her captain had been agreed upon.
 The Finland of the American line arrived with nothing but her medici- mai liquor supplies, having dumped her excess before crossing the three mile limit. Just as the liquor was hcaved over the side a bolt of light ming struck one of the masts. Super stitious seamen consider this an omen of disapproval of such waste.
 The Paris sailed out with her broken seals still hanging to the wine room door and 12,000 pints of wine and spirits on board, allowed for medicinal purposes by Dr. Sprague, public health officer here.
 Reports from London indicate that the failure of foreign vessels to get through the customs offices with re- turn supplies had discouraged line officers, and that several liners were putting out with only one way sup plies of drinks.
