COOLIDGE HALTS
PAY FOR MILITIA
Orders Investigation of Need
of S1,3OO,OoO for Drills
of National Guard.

President Coolidge today ordered
an investigation to determine wheth-
er it is necessary to spend the ST.,
100000 appropriated in the deficiency
bill for pay of National Guard men,
bers for drill work, directing that
payments be withheld meanwhile.
The amount was appropriated to
meet payments between now and
June so. but because it is over the
Budget Bureau estimate, the Presi-
dent ordered the investiga ton.
Dwight F. Davis, Acting Secretary
of War, said after a conference to-
day with Mr.. Coolidge a report on
the necessity for the fund would be
submitted Immediately.
The Budget Bureau in disapproving
the item took the view that this ex-
pense should be met by the various
State governments. The President
accepted that opinion. but represent
atives of the National Guard con-
vinced the appropriations committees
of Congress to the contrary
Should Mr.. Coolidge decline to spend
the appropriation, and should no State
funds be provided for the purpose,
National Guard drills either would
be suspended from now until June 80
or the guardSmen would be invited 10
drill without pay.
Confronted with similar refusal
of Congress to appropriate for reserve
officers training camps, the War De-
partment has followed for several
years a policy of inviting the officers
to attend the camps without pay.
Would Cut Seven Drills.
While the actual condition in any
State as to curtailment of the armory
drills required depends upon the status
in that State of the allotment already
made from current War Department
funds, the average for the entire coun-
try would be a reduction to As armory
drills for the current fiscal year, as COM
pared TO the average of So.
War Department regulations have
emphasized that close order drill for
the National Guard should be confined
entirely to these armory drill periods,
since, the limited time the guardSmen
can devote during the Summer to en-
campments should be used for field
training. The schedule of 81 armory
ory.
The extent to which any State
would be required to reduce its ar
mory drill work depends upon the
percentage of total National Guard
personne which turns out for these
drills. The restriction would fall
more heavily on those States which
have the best drill turnout, as the
available funds for those States are
more quickly exhausted on paving the
larger number of men. Allotmerts by
the War Department are made on
an average basis.

VALUATION FIGURES
ATTACKED BY c. &P.
Utilities Commission Ac-
Countant's Methods in Com
putation Termed Faulty.

When the hearing on the valua-
tion of the property of the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Co.
today, counsel for the company en-
deavored TO show that Byers Mex.
Bachman, accountant for the Com
mission, did not follow proper
methods in arriving at a new esti-
mate OF the value OF the property,
which is lower than the valuation of
approximately s1e.o0o,oOo allowed by
the commission as OF last December.
The company is seeking a valuation
OF SIS o6o, 900.
Dozier Devane, attorney for the
company. centered his cross-examina-
tion on the action of Mr.. Bachman
in using the "all-commodity" index
figure of the Department of Labor in
arriving at the present-day value of
the telephone plant.
Mr.. Bachman contended the method
he used has been approved as a
proper course in railroad cases.
The cross-examination of Mr.. Bach

ing of testimony, and it is expected
that this afternoon final arguments
will be made by counsel for the tele-
phone company and by William Nick.
Clayton. representing the Federation

Wants Labor Index Used.
MI. Devane sought to show that
wo-thirds of telephone dollar rep
resents materials and one-third labor.
He endeavored to bring out that Mr..
Bachman should have considered the
so-called index figure for labor" as
we'll as the "all-commodity" index in
finding out how much of a change has
occurred in the value of telephone
property since 1914.
The "all-commodity' index figure
used by Mr.. Bachman shows an in
crease of 81 per cent since 1914. Harry
Gretz, accountant for the telephone
company, testified last week that the
increase since 1914. as applied to tele-
phone property is II per cent.
Mr.. Devane also attacked Mr.. Bach
mans method of determining what
should be allowed the company as
working cash" Mr.. Bachman tes-
titled he took for working cash one
twelfth of annual operating expenses,
less taxes, depreciation and the
amount the local company pays the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Co. annually for services rendered.

He explained on the stand that he
excluded those three items of eX-
pense because he wanted to base
working cash on those items of ex-
penses that have to be paid every
month.
Mr.. Devane brought out that n the
last rate case the Utilities Commits
sion used a different method by talk
ing one ighth of all operating ex-
penses, which gave a higher allow
ance for working cash.

NEW YORK, March 23.-The mys-
terious death of Louis S. Franken-

juries which he said he had received

Mr.. Frankenheimer died shortly
after he had summoned a doctor to
whom he told an incoherent story.
His watch and chain were in his
pocket, but no money was found q
fact which led his two sisters with
whom he lived to believe that he ha d
been robbed, as he was in the custom
of carrying a considerable sum of
money.
DR.. Norris was inclined to the he
lief that the banker had fallen and
in his dazed condition had imagined
the assault. An abrasion of Mr.
