r. A. FRENCH AND SUMNER CUR
IT'S, OF HARDING PARTY, VIC
TINS OF AUTO CRASH
TW0SERI0USLYI INJURED
ACCIDENT TAKES PLACE AS COR
RESPONDENTS RETURN FROM
TRIP THROUGH MOUNTAINS

Denver.-Sumner Curtis, representa-.
tive of the Republican national COM
mittee, with President Harding party
In Denver and Thomas A. French, 4421
Decatur street, employee of the Great
Western Sugar Company, were killed
and two other members of the party
were critically injured when their auto
plunged 100 feet over an embankment
into Bear creek canon at the second
looking-glass curve, n half mile above
the c. c. Gates home. The injured are:
Thomas E. Dawson, Colorado state
historian and nationally known news
paperman, broken ankle, injured spine,
lacerated scalp, fractured ribs, possible
internal injuries.
Donald Craig, Washington, CORES
%spondent of New York Herald, LAGER
ated scalp, possible internal injuries
in critical condition.
The accident occurred during a trip
planned for the newspaper men of the
Harding party by the Denver Press
Club.
The cars were following each other
closely and travelling behind a pair of
motorcycle officers who were clearing
the road. AS they came around what
is known as the upper looking-glass
turn, the car driven by French had
only fairly started on the straight
away when suddenly and sharply it
darted over the embankment. 1t fell
a sheer fifty feet. The other members
of the party looked with horror as the
machine turned end over end.
When rescuers reached the scene,
Craig was lying about fifteen feet from
the top of the steep incline. Dawson
was three-quarters the way Town and
French only u few feet away. Curtis
was pinned underneath the car and 1t
was necessary to turf the machine
over to rescue his body.
Craig was carried to the top first
and placed in an automobile. Daw-
son was carried up the slope and put
in another car. AT the country home
of the Denver Motor Club a stop was
made and first aid administered to
Dawson, who was suffering from a
badly wrenched spine and a cut In his
forehead.
First aid treatment was given Craig
at Starbuck and the trip to Denver
with the two men started.
When the rescuers reached French
he was still alive but UNCONSCIOUS. He
was carried to the top of the embank-
ment and placed in the automobile of
J. l.. Alumbaugh, grocery store keeper
of F1ftieth avenue and Qultman street.
~Alumbaugh started down the canon
with French, but before he could reach
Starbuck, French died. The body was
brought to Denver by the Roche Am
bulance Company, while the body Of
Curtis was brought TO Denver by the
ambulance of the county hospital.
One of the concrete posts Embedded
at the apex of the curve was broken
off at the ground as the car plunged
over the embankment.
Curtis was killed instantly, 1t Is
thought. There was a gaping wound
in his head when other members of the
party reached him. The body was first
removed to the c. c. Gates home, to
await the arrival of the coroner, and
later brought to Denver.

MAY. LET PERSH|NC
ESCAPE RETIRING
Congress Asked by Weeks
for Law to Allow Him to
Remain Active.

Recommendation that special bill
be enacted to permit Gen. Pershing to
remain on active service after he
reaches the statutory retirement age
next year has been forwarded by
Secretary Weeks to the Senate and
House military committees.
His vast fund of accumulated ex-
perience as commanding general OF
our armies in Europe said Mr..
Weeks letter to the committees,
"and his virile interest in our mill
t;ay establishment in questions af-
S.cting the national defense are rea-
sons which convince me that a great
mistake will be made If the present
law on the subject of retirement is
allowed to bar further active mill
tary service to the nation by him."
Gen. Pershing will celebrate his
September 13, 1924, and under the
law will pass automatically to the
retired list unless there is special ac
tion by Congress.
The change in the law proposed by
Secretary Weeks would permit Gen
Pershing to retire at his own dis
cretion, or to be retired at any time
at the discretion of the President
Should he so desire and should Presi-
dents in succession desire his reten-
ton on the active list. he would re-
main as the active general of the
Army for life. Under existing law,
provision already has been made CIV
ing him the full salary of his rank
for life, and this would not be altered
by his retirement for age.

PENSION SALARIES

Beneficiaries Also Reported
by Secretary Work.

Reorganization of the pension bu'
reau has resulted in an annual saw.
ing of approximately s246,000 in sal.
aries and $1,000 to pensioners. SAID
a special report sent to President
Coolidge today by Secretary Work OF
the Interior Department.
"The results of the survey" the re-
port said, ARE improved service to
the public, more expeditions settle
ment of pension claims and payment
of pensions when granted, and read
justments of the working force under
closer supervision and with elimina-
ton of Implications of service, per-
mftting a red~tion of force from
1881 to SCI employees"
In reducing the number of employees
efficiency of service was the prime
consideration" the Secretary said, add
ing, however, that the hardship OF nos
ing employment was lessened and mltl-
gated by allowing vacancies to lapse
encouraging transfers and granting
furloughs without pay. with the un-
derstanding that recall of the most
efficient would be considered to MI
future vacancies or meet demands for
any increase of force made necessary
as a rsult of new legislation"
Employees entitled to military pref
erence were not affected by the re-
organization.

PARIS PUTS TROOPS
OUT Of RUHR CITIES
Lessening Friction With Ger
mans Object of Policy.
Expelled to Return.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
PARIS, December 5-The troops
occupying the Ruhr are gradually to
be concentrated in camps outside the
cities, it was explained by French
government officials today. The de-
sign is to make the occupation less
irritating to the Germans. in reward
for their apparent disposition to
abandon their hostility toward the
occupation and to cooperate with
the allied regime.
There is no idea of eVacuating the
Ruhr at present, it is stated, and
the French troops will be maintained
at their existing strength for the
time being, pending developments,
but will be taken off the streets and
out of the cities so that the popula-
ton will not be constantly reminded
of their presence. thus reducing the
occasion for possible friction.
The principal measure of relief for
the occupied district, however, will
be, the release of many of the polit.ca
prisoners and permission Tor ex-
pelleds persons to return to their
homes. The recommendations Of Gen
Degoutte, French commander in the
Ruhr. in each individual case. will be
accepted. 1t is stated that the cases
OF those. of Prussian nationality will
pc examined more closely, as has
Deen done in re-employing the rail
ROAD workers, preference being given
natives of the Ruhr AMI the Phin.-
land.

ment off1oials who We're deported by

Sinclair Company was forced to con-

their equity. This is shown by the

DR. Balm had testified the govern

from it's royalty oil under the lease
than would have come from prevail

Walsh brought out that bonuses paid
for separate leases of government
lands in the Salt Creek field hat
amounted to $1.300.000 and the roy.
atty averaged 28.76 per cent, as com.
pared with 1612 per cent from the
Sinclair lease.
The witness said the experts of the
bureau were convihced of the danger
of the Teapot Dome reserve being
drained in to the privately owned
wells in the Salt Creek field
Balm Defends Lease.
DR.. Balm declared the Sinclair lease
was far more advantageous to the
received, and immeasuraply superior
to any we could get now
why better than you could now
get?" asked Senator Lenroot, repub-
lican, Wisconsin.
Because of the great decrease in
