ARMY BEGINS PROBE
INTO PAYROLL Theft;
CORPORALS RET|CENT
Practically All of the $4,000
Found Secreted in the
Youths Clothing No Re-
siStance to Arrest

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Jan. 81.
A board of inquiry at Langley field
today began an investigation into
the holdup and robbery yesterday
of Captain Norman D. Gotta and his
military guard of four men while
they were leaving the First Nation
al Bank of Hampton with the $43,.
600 payroll of the army air station.
Meantime, Corporals John S. Wood
and James S. Harvey, who were be-
ing held under strong guard, re-
fused to discuss their arrest last
night after the captain and his es-
cort were found securely bound in
woods near here.
The board of inquiry spent this
morning interviewing the captain
and four privates and in checking
up the money which military officials
tdeclared was recovered from Wood
and Harvey. Only s2,7S9,94 of the
$500 are missing. it was stated
at Langley field, and detail of sol
diers and CIVILIANS was sent out
from the post today to search for
this in the woods where Captain
Gotta and his party were found. Only
500 of the total amount was in sill
yer, it was learned, and this is
thought to have been abandoned by
the corporals when they left the big
army automobile after it was
ditched.
The boards report will be sent to
the commandant of the third corps
area and not until it has been con-
sidered by that official will de-
cision be reached as to whether the
two corporals will be tried by court
martial or turned over to the civil
authorities. The impression at the
post, however, is that the men will
be tried by a military court.
Another angle of the case was de-
veloped today when the police AMI
military authorities started a search
for man referred to by Wood and
Harvey after their arrest as "Smit-
ty'' and for woman who the police
declare was intimate with one Of

Edgewood Avenue Fruit
Dealer Eats Whole Bunch
of Bananas - Quenches
Thirst With 10 Bottles of
Soda Water
BY HARRY STEARNS. JR.

Every now and then some new
gastronomic champion arises ON his
hind legs and issues a challenge to
the world at large to meet any and
all corners for the heavyweight eat
ing title. There have been champion
e-eaters, champion glass-eaters
champion sword-swallower and then
there was the first man ever to eat
an oyster.
The latest addition to the ranks
of the champions of the great indoor
sport of eating is one who sticks
more strictly to- orthodox forms of
nutriment but whose ability to dis
pose of large quantities Of same
with unusual speed is truly remark
able. Without much more ado, we
introduce Aleck H. Anderson, of So
Edgewood avenue, who has estab-
ished a record hard to. believe and
even harder to equal.
If you think you can eat sixteen
bananas, twelve doughnuts and a
pound and a half of uncoOked VIE
ners in some twenty minutes, then
you can afford to sneer at Alexis
record. Or if you think that you
can drink S 1-2 quarts Of buttermilk
in IL minutes, you can issue a
challenge yourself. Those are some
of the things Aleck has done and
can do again, he says.
When discovered at his retail fruit
store on Edgewood avenue, Aleck
was calmly finishing a bunch of ba-
bananas he had started on earlier in
the day.
Pardon me a minute" he said
give eaten so many bananas that
I'm thirsty" He then proceeded to
drink fifteen bottles of soda water
without stopping. It took exactly
six minutes to dispose OF the fifteen.
when did you discover that you
could eat so much,' he was asked.
"In the army" he replied, train
ing on 'slumgullion' and navy beans.

army beans without stopping. An
other time I ate three dozen apples
in 45 minutes, but they were small
ones and not so filing"

him rather reluctantly, as he seem
ed to think nothing much of his
extraordinary powers. Most Of the
information was CLEANED from his
partner who told about his trick OF
going into a soda fount and asking
for twelve glasses of coca-cola. He
would then bet the man behind the
counter that he could drink all of
them in ten minutes. If he didn't
he would pay for them, while the
man behind the counter would pay
for them if he did. One time, after
finishing off the twelve in some
six minutes, he offered to bet $40
that he could drink twelve more,
but there were no takers.
Anderson is of slight stature,
about 5 feet IL inches tall and
weighs 157 pounds tableside. He
was in the army five years and
overseas with the Second division
a year and a half.

ton, and L have already signed a
contract to market mine in this
way"
He stated further that on his farm
this year he would limit the acreage
to approximately five acres to the
pillow, cultivate at least nine times
and pick up squares continuously
and use the best cultural methods in
growing his cotton crop.
with such methods think a fair
crop can be produced on the acre
age planted and last year with these
methods 1 averaged six and one-tenth
bales to every ten acres" continued
Mr.. Tiff.

ENGLAND ACCEPTS
AMERICA s OFFER
FOR FUNDING DEBT
Chancellor of Exchequer
Wins Over Other Members,
England Is Given 81 Years
to Liquidate Obligation

LONDON, Jan. 31.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press).-Great Britain has
decided to accept the American offer
in regard to the funding of the Brit
ish war debt to the United States.
The governments decision was
reached at a cabinet meeting this aft
ernoon. There was full attendance
of ministers and apparently they en-
tered the meeting with the decision
already formed to follow the recon-
mendation of Stanley Baldwin, chan
cellor of the exchequer, as the ses-
sion lasted only a few minutes.
The terms are three per cent for
ten years and three and one-half
per cent thereafter, payments ex-
tending over a period of sixty-two
years. No reservation was made re-
garding Great Britain's being allow
ed to pay the total sum after the
ten-year period.
1t is unofficially stated that there
was practical unanimity of opinion
among the cabinet members in favor
of accepting the terms.
Viscount Cave, lord high chancel-
Tor; Stanley Baldwin, chancellor of
the exchequer. and the Duke of
Devonshire, colonial secretary, were
with Prime Minister Bonar Law for
some time before the cabinet as
sembled.
Apparently the premier was able
to make an immediate statement to
the cabinet as a result of this pre-
liminary conference because some of
the late arrivals at the cabinet meet
ing did not remain long enough to
remove their overcoats.
The contribution of the Express
to the discussion today takes the

printed in bold type, that several
states of the American union are.

for sums borrowed on the British

sterling are owed by Arkansas, Flor

North Carolina and South Carolina.
while Alabama is included as a

The Times today prints letter
from Sir Roderick Jones, prominent
in the newspaper world as chairman
Of Reuters, Ltd, on the subject of
the British debt, in which Sir Rod
erick says:
"Our place among the nations, our
honor, our self-respect, our good
name-these require that we pay
our debts like men. We are not
mendicants or banl1rupts. We must
not allow any argument. whatever
it's material or pretended moral foun-
dation, to induce us to initiate the
whimper of the one or the shifts of
the other. Our duty is plain-to pay
