PLAN NEW CONTROL
OF WHITE HOUSE
Supervision and Manage
ment to Be Given to Col.
Cheney.

Appointment of Col. Sherwood
Cheney, Engineer Corps, U. S. A, as
chief military aide at the White
House is understood to mean more
than merely the succeeding of Lieut..
Col. c. o. Sheriff., who has been re-
lieved of his White House duties in
order that he may devote his entire
time to the building of the Arlington
Memorial Bridge and the many other
tasks incident to his office as officer
in charge of public buildings and
public parks.
From an authoritative source 1t
was learned yesterday that the White
House supervision and management
is to be entirely divorced from the
office of public buildings and public
parks. Although the plan of bring
ing about this change has not been
worked out in complete detail, 1t is
understood that Col Cheney is ex-
pected TO bring about the divorce
ment.
Opens Private Office.
Col. Cheney yesterday relinquished his
command of Fort Humphreys and
entered upon his new duties at the
White House He said that he had
not yet learned the entire nature and
extent of his work, but he thought
that he will become familiar with
them in a very short time. Regard
ing the plan for the change in the
supervision of the White House Col
Cheney said he did not care to dis
cuss il until some definite conclusion
had been reached. He has estab-
1ished a private office in the old
billiard room, on the ground floor of
the White House, which room has
generally been used by ladies of the
cabinet and others attending White
House functions to hang their wraps,
and in a day or so will have the
service of an Office assistant.
White House authorities point out
that the Office of public buildings and
public parks already has about as
much as it can humanity handle with
out having to give its attention to
the supervision and upkeep of the
White House, and because of this it
was proposed to turn ALI of the other
tasks over to Col. Cheney. lnasmuch
as the statute designates Col. Sheriff.
as the disbursing officer for the
White. House funds, he will continue
in this capacity until it is seen tit
to change this part of the law. 1t is
understood that among Col. Cheney's
other duties will be the direct super
vision over the White House police
force as well as the force of garden
ers and laborers employed about the
White House.

Elmer leighton of Milwaukee,

plane the division of the National
Railways of Mexico between Mon
clova and Piedras Negras,- on the
Rio Grande border, 14S miles. The

leighton pilots all passenger
trains between Monclova and
Piedras Negras. He flies some
distance ahead and closely scans
the chaparral for outlaws. Leigh

Miss Clemencia Contreros of Pied

On several recent occasions this
method of guarding trains against
attack by outlaws has proved ef-
fiCient. One band of brigands was
seen near Sabinas and the authori-

Leighton, with the result that the
freebooters were routed before
they had an opportunity to carry
out their plans for robbing a
