ARMY KEPT INTACT
BY APPROVED FUND
Bill Reported to House Car
ries 1926, ,224, ,ee3, Is Mil.
lions Less Than Last Year.

Maintenance for another year of the
Regular Army at the present strength
of $4,000 commissioned officers and
10000 enlisted men is recommended
in the Army appropriation bill.
AS reported today to the House the
measure carries $326,224.993, or $l6.-
224,26S less than last years appropria-
ton and S3,632,77S less than the budget
estimate.
Of the total, ss7,seo,ooo would be
available for river and harbor improve
ments during the next fiscal year.
This amount, recommended by the bud
get, is s19. .446,7S0 less than last years
appropriation The funds would be al
lotted by the War Department.
Muscle Shoals Item.
The bill carries an. item of
s7,000.000 for continuing work on
dam No. . at Muscle Shoals, with an
additional contract authorization of
s3,04o.Sse, and provides Slo.ooo:ooo
and 100000 for similar work on the
Sacramento river.
A provision in last years BILL which
prohibited the enlistment OF youths
out the consent of their guardians
and requiring those over twenty-one
to submit proofs of their ages. was
j eliminated because it had greatly in
creased the expense of recruiting and
prevented the enlistment of men of
the best military age.
Funds for Aviation.
For aviation the committee rec
commended 1Sl2,435.000 and proposed
that an additional s1,3990o0 be re-
appropriated from an unexpended
balance. This would give the service
approximately $1.000.000 more than
during the current year.
An appropriation of 100000 for
production of heiium was made, the
committee pointing out that if SINH
lar item was provided in the Navy
bill, the total would permit continu-
Gus operation of the Fort Worth.
Tex, plant.
A mandatory provision is in the bill
that not less than s2,646.000 must be
used for the production and purchase
of new airplaneS and equipment. To
enable the Army to carry out its pro-
posed aerial flight around the world
an allotment of $4,000 is recon-
mended.
For the National Guard appropria-
tions aggregating $29.507, ,642 are pro-
posed, as compared with $29,S14,140
allotted last year and budget esti-
mates of S30,577.940. The amount
recommended, the committee said
would provide for a total National
Guard strength of 10000 men, and
would permit the expenditure of So
100000 for training camps and $780,
900 for Army drill pay.

CLASH OVER RIGHT
TO RUN BUS Line
W. R. & E. and Capital Traction
Rivals for Territory in East
Washington.

The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company contended for the right
to operate any bus line that may be
ordered to furnish service to the
Eastern High School, the GalIingcr
Hospital and the rapidly deveIoping G
territory in that vicinity at a hear
ing before the Public Utilities Com
mission today.
At the outset 1t developed that the
Capital Traction Company several
weeks ago made application to ex-
tend its Randall Highlands bus line
from nth street and Pennsylvania
avenue southeast, west on PennSyl-
vania avenue TO 18th street, north to
East Capitol street and thence east
to the high school.
William +. Ham, president OF the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company. then submitted evidence in
great detail to show that his COM
pany has stood ready for two years
TO run busses into that territory. and
has had several communications with
the commission looking to that end
Mr.. Hanna Makes R-~p0nse.
After Mr.. Ham had taken this po-
sition John II. Hanna. vice president
OF the Capital Traction Company, re-
turned 10 the stand and declared
that his company had no desire to
enter into an argument over the re-
spective rights TO the section in Ques-
ton, but that they merely wanted
the public served in whatever man
ner the commission deems necessary
adding that his company stands ready
to do it's share.
Maj. Bell. chairman of the com
mission. asked Mr.. Ham if he would
consider a joint operation of busses
as the two companies have already
done by Woodley road.
Mr., Ham replied that. while joint
operate has been entered into in
the past, the Washington Railway
and Electric Company feels that in
this case the records clearly showed
it would be that company'S territory

The action of the Senate committee
today was a victory for the citizens
of the District, who have protested
vigorously against the introduction
of the personal property tax on au-
tomobiles along with the gasoline
tax.
The committee had intended TO take
up for consideration and action the
police and firemen's increase pay bill.
Col. Sheriff., superintendent of pub
lie buildings and grounds, told the
committee today that he was sending
to it a bill providing for an increase
in pay OF the park police in line with
the pay increases granted the metro
politan police. 1t was suggested that

tanned till he has a show" Harry
Daugherty has pretty imposing
array of medals for distinguished
service in the republican party. He
was potent in the nomination and
election of William Howard Taft to
the presidency. He was directly re-
sponsible for the nomination and
same Office. He was the enthusiastic
proponent of Mr.. Taft for the Chief
Justiceship of the United States. He
has elected. or been prodigiously
helpful in electing, any number of
republican governors and United
States senator's in Ohio. If the
G. o. r in that pivotal state ever
had wheelhorse, Daugherty is the
one In the doubtful times staring
the republican party in the face this
year, SO shrewd politician as Cal
vim Coolidge thinks twice and thrice
before ditching a Stalwart of Daugh-
erty's dimensions.
Many Leads Opened.
The Brookhart committee has an al
most interminable number of leads"
for investigating Daugherty's ad-
ministration of the Justice Depart
ment. But il the senatorial inquisi-
tors. under the prosecuting leader
ship of Senator Wheeler, move with
any degree of rapidity the investiga-
ton ought to reach a point at the
end of five weeks where it will be
apparent whether Daugherty is
wrong or right" He is going to
make the most stubborn fight of his
entire fighting career. He and his
chief counsel, former Senator George
E. Chamberlain of Oregon, have a
pretty good line on the kind of heavy
artillery the Brookhart committee is
getting ready to bring up. They seem
certain they can let down a counter
barrage that will enable Daugherty
to emerge from the melee unscathed.
When he does so-or, rather, as soon
as he does so-he will take a leaf out
Of Edwin Denbys note book and re-
Iieye Calvin Coolidge Of any further
embarrassment
Daugherty has the reputation not
only Of being "two-fisted fighter"
but a sport" In recent times it
bit of being too good a sport" and
of enacting too continuously the role
of q goat" It may be, before the
history of the next five weeks is
written, that Harry Daugherty will
turn about and make goats" of
certain persons who may not suspect
they are in any such danger. The
Attorney General, as one of his
friends explains, has been taking the
blame not only for his own short
comings, but for those of others in
poIitics and public Office for a quar-
ter of a century, When a mans fight
ing with his back to the wall he
often reckons that the hour has come
to forsake that altruistic pastime.
