MANY WOULD

Washington, Aug. 2.t-Requests
for Buffaloes are coming to the In
terror Department so fast that if all
applications now on hand are grant
ed there will be nothing left Of the
kerd of nearly 800 in Yellowstone
National Park.
The flood of applications resulted
from recent announcement that
some of the animals would be given
away because the Yellowstone herd
had outgrown its pasture. Some Of
the letters were from children who
asked for little ones for pets"
A Sterling (Colo.) man ordered
two carloads. Another applicant
sought couple of buffaloes, gentle
enough to hitch in the front yard"
A Georgian wanted one for birth
day present for his daughter.
The Associated Press, which sent
the Departments announcement
broadcast over the country, today
received letter from man in
Iowa saying:
~ would like to have one of those
buffaloes that you. are giving away.
What and how old ones do you
send? 2"
The letter was referred to the de-
partment which will begin distribu-
ton of the animals next month.
Preference will be given to NUM-
cipal zoos, many of which have ap-
piled for few animals to form the
nucleus Of bison herd.

GEN. PERSHTNG
T0SUFFER CUT
In HIS SALARY
To BE Cut in Half When He
Retires From Army Sept.
IL, Officials Say

Washington, Aug. go. - n e $
there should be decision to the
contrary, when General Pershing re-
tires from the army Sept II his
income will be cut more than half,
officials close to the nations finan-
cial control said recently, in which
case the General will receive $lO,l25
annually, instead Of his present pay
of $4,000 and allowances, total
Of S21,500.
TT has been assumed that when
General Pershing retired he would
receive full pay, possibly without
the allowances, but it was stated in
certain quarters that unless the
Controller General makes decision
otherwise the General would receive
on the retired list three quarters of
his active pay of Sl3,500, without
the allowances, which are granted to
officers on the active list. In the
Generals case these reach 81 500
ANNUALLY for heat and light and
$4,000 for quarters.
Army officers were inclined to be-
lieve there was authority under eX-
listing law for continuing the Cen
eral at full pay and present allow
ances. but neither thees officers nor
the Government officials would dis
cuss the matter, preferring to wait
until the issue actually rose. This
would come about if the army fl
nance officers approved vouchers for
full pay and allowances after con-
sultation with the Judge Advocate
General The vouchers would then
have to go to Controller General
McCarl for his decision. At Mr..
McCarls office it was said recently
that the matter had not been
brought up.
Created by a Congressional act of
June /, 1888, the office of General
of the army went out of existence
on Aug. of that year, the date of
the death of General Philip H. Sher-
idan, but it was revived by the act
Of Sept. 3, 1919, passed to fit the
case of General Pershing. The act
of 1919 provided that the General
should have the "pay prescribed by
Section "a of the act of Congress
approved July Is. 1870, and such al
lowances as the President shall deem
appropriate"
In making the point that there
was nothing in existing law making
any exception in favor of General
.Pershing for full active pay after
retirement, Government officials re-
called that the War Department hac
proposed legislation which woulc
have operated to retain the Genera

FRANTIC COURT
FANS CAUSE OF
POLICE CALLS
Crush in Corridors to Hear
barrow Begin His Plea
For Mercy

Chicago, Aug. 22.--Riot calls to
police headquarters resulted today
from the crush Of the frantic
court fans trying to gain admission
to the court room Of Judge Caverly
where Clarence barrow started his
plea for mercy for Richard Loeb
and Nathan Leopold Jr.. kidnapfetoai
and murderers of Robert Franks.
SO great was the crush in the
corridors and on the steps that a
score of policemen were unable to
restrain the crowd. Twice they
were forced to phone for additional
men, first for 80, then for %.
Women tainted and several per-
sons were reported to have been in
jured.
The court held up the start Of
Mr.. Darrow's plea for half an hour
until the court was cleared and all
visitors were expelled from the
building. The near tragedy was
turned into comedy at the end.
"There are four of your friends
here Judge" reported bailiff.
"Let them stay out. They were
late" said the Judge.
Then the harrassed officer said
he couldn't persuade the "press' to
clear the corridor. ooh let news
papermen pass in and OUT said
the Judge.
A roar of laughter swept judge,
spectators, attorneys and defendants,
when the "press" entered in the
person Of chunky messenger boy,
his hair awry, collar twisted, and
| face red. but with triumphant grin
on his features.
"Money was the big handicap, in
the case, Mr.. barrow said in his ad-
ress.
"People were given extravagant
stories, and this prejudiced them to-
wards u.s."
