 AMERICAN WAR HERO

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-None of the Russian crown jewels were found in the coffin of Seaman James Jones when the body, buried in 2 Brooklyn cemetery, was disinterred today by the government.
 Newspaper men were barred from the cemetery during the disinter- ment. Grave diggers carried the casket to the nortuary, where the shroud was removed. Nearly three quarters of an hour was spent in eX- amining the body, the clothing aud the lining of the coffin
 In the presence of army officers and officials of the treasury depart ment the body was removed from the casket to permit complete examina- tion. Then it was lifted back into the coffin and replaced in the ground.
 After that the military guard was lifted and Col. J. J. Gallagher. com mander of the army supply base in Brooklyn, made this terse statement to newspaper men:
 There is nothing to the report No jewels were found."
 The official witness then signed a statement to this effect

ORDER RETIRING CRONKH|TE MAY RE SUBJECT OF PROBE
Friends of General Resent Ac- tion of War Department. Death of Son Is
 Recalled

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA recent war department order, retiring from active service Mai. Gen. Adelbert Crtnkhite, who commanded the Eightieth division in France, has re- suited in a protest from the general and his friends which in the opinion of some members of Congress may lead to a public investigation.
 In order that the facts in the case may be established, Senator Glass, democrat, Virginia, within whose state the Eightieth division received its training, has asked the Senate military commission to defer action for the present n the nomination of "a successor to the retired officer in the grade of major general. Senator Reed, republican, Pennsylvania and others also have interested them- selves in the case, although none of them would predict definitely today what action might be requested.
 Retired This Month
 General Cronk at one time commander of the Third corps area, with headquarters at Baltimtr re, was retired "by direction of the Pres ident" on February 1. the order say ing the action was taken in view of the fact that the officer had reached the age of 62 years.
 Retirement at that age is not com pulsory except on the Presidents or der, however, and General Cronkhite sent telegram to the adjutant gen. eral of the army, pointing out that he had not applied for retirement and adding that he pro tested against the action taken as in direct violation of the law"
 Later a pamphlet was circulated among members of Congress and others making anonymously various charges against war department off cials in connection with the retire ment and presenting what purported to be statements by General Cronk hite himself, charging that he was taken from the active list because ef his activities in attempting to un- ravel the mystery of the death of his son, Maj. Alexander P. Cronkhite, 1918. The pamphlet is entitled "The Case of Maj. Gen. Adelbert Cronk- hite, Printed Privately for the Infor- nation of His Friends and contains no clue to the authors.
 Investigated Killing
 After his return from France, Gen. era1 Cronkhite devoted much time tt an investigation in the killing of his son. The death at first was listed on pubic records as suicide, but after the general had protested, this nota- ton was erased. The case was taken into the courts and Capt. Robert Bo- senbluth and an enlisted man were indicted by a federal grand jury in Washington state. Yesterday, how ever Captain Rosenbluth was given his liberty in New York, Commis- sioner Hitchcock ruling that Majcr Gronkhite's death had not occurred on federal government property, and that, therefore. the federal courts had no authority in the case.
 It appeared possible today that not only the retirement order but the cir cumstances surrounding the death of Major Cronkhite might be again pub licly reviewed as result Cf the pro- tests now before war department of ficials and members of Congress.

NITRATES MEASURE IS VIRTUALLY KILLED BY LOWER HOUSE ACTION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-A Senate bill proposing purchase of s10,000.- 900 worth Chilean nitrates for re- sale to American farmers for use in sowing their 1924 crops virtually was killed today in the House. The appropriation provision was stricken out on a point of order and with fight in prospect. the House ad- journed.
 Representative Newton, Minnesota. first made. a point of order against the entire bill on the ground that 1t carried an appropriation approved by the agricultural committee con trary to the requirement. of the House rules that all appropriations be approved by the appropriations committee. This point was over ruled, but Speaker Gillett sustained a second point of order by MT. Newton against the appropriation provision.
 Several members argued that this emasculated the whole bill and Chair man Haughen of the agricultural committee asked unanimous consent to withdraw the measure. Such con sent was refused by Representative Stevenson. democrat. South Carolina, joint author of the bill with Senator Smith of that state. and several members immediately moved an ad- journment. A division on this mo- tion was forced, a roll calling 13S members for adjournment and 99 against.

WORK MAKES REPLY TO
 DEMOCRATIC CHARGES

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. 14.- More democrats than republicans have been appointed postmasters in many of the southern states during the last two years under President Harding.s civil service order of May 10, 1921. Postmaster General Work announced today as the result of a canvass made after it had been charged in Congress that the order was operating to increase political appointments"
 Data thus far collected relates only to a number of southern states and Postmaster General Work said today that charges recently made that democrats were excluded from postmaster appointments. contrary to the spirit of the Presidents execu- tive order. would thus appear to be without foundation.
 Tn Louisiana since the Harding ad- ministration assumed office. 19O democrats and S9 republicans have been appointed while the Postmas- ter General is informed by state post tai officials that they had been un- able to find that any republicans were appointed during the last demo- cratic administration"

 THE AGE-HERALD ! Ressanner Ala Eah Id

l J
 City officials are planning to in- troduce bill at the adjourned ses- sion of the legislature providing for the collection of city taxes at Bes- semer at the county tax collectors office, eliminating considerable ex- pense for both the city and tax pay CTS. The city council authorized Major R. P McTyeire and City Clerk George Bumgardner to draw up the bill sometime ago, and 1t is under stood that this will be done at once.
 By eliminating payment of city taxes at the city clerks office, and having the county collector look out for the collection, city tax records would not have to be kept separately, as is now the case. This would be a saving to the city of several hun dred dollars annually, as these books are expensive. Considerable cleri- cal work would also be avoided. be- cause tax payers would pay both county and city taxes at one office.
 At present the county tax assessor makes up the books for both the county and city tax collectors. If the offices are combined, only one set of books would be made up. con- taining separate items for the two taxes. The tax payers would be given one receipt, covering both county and city taxes. This system is now being used in Birmingham.
 Considerable expense would be saved the tax payers by this change. Only one collectors fee would be T for taxes only sale cost would be assessed. Aside from this. combin- ing the tax collectors offices would eliminate many misunderstanding particularly for nonresident prop ertN nMners
