Kaufman, who lived at 63S West
Lombard street, Baltimore, died at
Casualty Hospital shortly after

fracture of the skull.
Three other occupants of the

ward, Nd, and William E. Rear

IS ON
Public Utilities Commission
Accountants Going Over
Company Reports

Under direction of Earl v.
Fisher, executive secretary, Public
Utilities Commission experts are
making a searching inquiry into
the financial condition of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company.
Profits Too High.
Byers NICK. Bachman. new chief
accountant Of the commission. and
one of his assistants are going
over the expenditures Of the com.
pany and will make a special re-
port.
This inquiry will not be com.
pleted until a week or more, but
will undoubtedly show that the
company has been earning far in
excess OF the profit declared rea-
sonable by the Public Utilities Com
mission.
The report of the investigation
will be submitted to the commits
sion and II is expected a public
hearing will be ordered to con-
slider reduction in rates.
Delay Is Likely.
There may be some delay in
the report. for many of the COM
pany's records are being removed
to Baltimore where a nearing will
be held on September 20 to con-
slider the telephone company's ap-
plication for higher rates in the
Monumental City.
The Baltimore users now pay q
lower rate for telephone service
than Westinghouse pay.
The local telephone company has
virtually no changes In rates since
1920. There was one reduction in
1922, the unlimited service rate
dropping from $3.50 to IS, but no
other material changes have been
made.

The DEFENSE Test Will be war
drill" similar in nature to the more
common fire drill" The principle
of the two are the same. Just as
the fire drill teaches everyone what
to do in case of fire, the defense
test, as arranged by the War De.
partment, will teach each commun-
ity what to do in case of war.
War Department officials EN-.
phasize the fact that sin the next
war" plans similar to those being
used in the present case, will be
used to mobilize the country. They
explain the plan as follows.
AS soon as war is declared, the
President will ask every State gov
ernor and the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia to appoint
citizens committees, Just as has
been done for the defense test From
the time war is declared until
Congress passes a draft law, these
committees will handle enlistments,
and after the draft law is enacted,
they will supervise the administra-
ton of this law.
This plan would allow the War
Department to concentrate on other
problems Of a more national scope
In such an emergency, the War De-
partment would be unable to carry
out the supervision of enrolment
throughout the country. It would
have to leave this important duty
to the local committees.
Authorized by 1920 Act.
The present plan for National De-
Tense Day has been formulated by
the War Department under author.
ity given by the national defense
act OF 1920, which especially charges
the War Department with the
common defense of the nation
and directs that the army be or
ganized for Immediate and com.
plete mobilization in event Of any
emergency declared by Congress. ;"
The same act completely reor-
ganizes the military establishment
Of the nation. Briefly stated it pro.
vides for one army, the army Of
the United States, comprising the
regular army, the national guard
and the organized reserves in ap.
proximately these proportions: Reg
ular army, one-sixth; national guard,
two-sixths; organized reserves, three
sixths.
In peace time the regular army
Is the most fully organized and the
best trained Of the three sections.
At the present time the regular
army has a peace time strength Of
$4,000 officers and men. In time
Of war this would be increased to
about 100000. The regular army
would probably be filled by enlist.
ments before the draft law was put
into effect.
The national guard at present
has about 10000 officers and men.
In time OF war this would be in.
creased to about 100000 making.

Investigation Of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, including the
prohibition unit, by a special
Senate committee, which was in

be resumed at the Capitol on
September II, announcement was
made today.
Case About Completed.
Earl J. Davis, special counsel re
tanned by Senator James Couzens
Of Michigan. committee chairman,
stated that he had virtually com
pleted the task Of assembling
mass of data on the operations of
the bureau.
Although Mr.. Davis is not quite
through with this preliminary work,
he said he was confident that the
material will be ready for pre-
sentation when the hearings re.
open.
Couzens To Be On Hand.
Senator Couzens is in his home
State. but, with other Investigators,
will hurry back to Washington
within the next few days to pre-
pare for the quizzing of Federal
officers and other witnesses.
While the investigators decline to
give an inkling of what evidence
they have, it was limited today

stories Of Volstead law enforcement
will be told in the early days of
the investigation.
The Washington times., 1924-09-09

together with the regular army, a
total force Of less than 1000, 900
men.
The Organized Reserves, with a
peace time strength Of about 3d..
400, men, mostly officers, has the
greatest potential strength Of the
three sections. In great emer-
gency, this would expand to about
100000 officers and men, making
with the other two sections an
army Of nearly 1000. 900 men. And
If several million men were needed,
as in the last war. all additions
would be made to the organized
reserves, through the draft law.
Calhoun Defined Policy.
The germ of the new military
policy of this country is contained
in a statement made by John c.
Calhoun, many years ago, when he
said: THE leading principles in the
formation Of a military peace
establishment ought to be that at
the commencement OF hostilities
there should be nothing either new
to model or to create" only augmen-
tation to provide for.
This is somewhat different from
conditions prior to the World War,
when our national defense was
limited to a small regular army
and national guard. with a total
force available Of less than 10000
officers and 100000 men. OF which
less than 5000 officers and 100,.
900 enlisted men could be classed
as trained for combat.
With this organization in exis-
tence. man-power mobilization be.
comes a different problem from that
which faced this country in 1917.
So long as there is a reserve system
functioning, rnan-power mobilization
merely means filling the ranks of
the skeleton army, which already
has trained officers.
One Of the greatest improvements
Of the present system, as instituted
bv the War Department. is the fact
that it will allow mobilization to be
accomplished at home. Thus when
the draft law had become effective
the local mobilization committee
would Immediately draft its quota
of men to FIJI the ranks OF the or.
ganlzed reserves In that community.
Tho highest ranking officer Of
the reserves in each State would
order the subordinate officers in
each town and city to duty. These
officers would train the drafted men
right there in their home towns
and cities while living at home.
The lower officers would train
their men for about three, months
until thew were ready to 60 to
camp. and train as larger units.
This plan, It is estimated. would
save about three months time in
training, beside the huge expense
involved in constructing the large
environments which sprang up every
where during the last war.
