LEGAL LIGHT is SOUGHT
ON NATIONAL GUARDS PAY
War Department Suspects Drill
Payments May Be Valid Claim
Against Government.

A careful investigation to deter
mine the effect upon National Guard
efficiency and training that might re-
suit from denial to the Guard of the
s1,322,000 deficiency appropriation for
armory drill payments between now
and June 80 is being made by War
Department officials.
The examination seems likely to
touch upon legal aspects lof the ques-
tion as we'll as to develop the degree
to which efficiency of the State troops
might suffer if the full schedule of
armory drills should not be carried
out. 1t is thought possible that
claims for payment might be made
on the theory that guardsmen, upon
enlistment, entered into a contract
with the Government which imposed
obligations upon both parties, in
Guiding payment for services rendered
under the law.
The findings of the department.
legal authorities as to the Govern
ment's liability in this respect un-
doubtedly will be available to the
President when he is resdy to hand
down his final decision as to ex-
penditure of the deficiency appro-
priation.

INTEREST DEEPENS
IN MARSH MYSTERY
Finding of Woman's Body in
Mire Raises Doubts of
Companions Fate.
By the Associated Press.


NEWPORT. Vt, March 25.-Grap-
pling was resumed today for the body
of Charles H. Hutchins, thought to he
in a deep swamp above Lake Mem
phremagog, a few miles from the
trapper yesterday found the body of
Miss Edith NJ. Young, 24-year-old fac
tory worker of Orleans and a former
school teacher, on the seat of a bug
gy, with a dead horse upright in the
shafts, only its head above the mire.
Miss Young and Hutchins, the
father of two children and defendant
in divorce proceedings, were last seen
just four months ago yesterday as
they drove off late at night in a
hired rig from Newport toward
Orleans, where the young woman
lived. She had worked in a creamery
in Newport Center, of which Hutchins
was manager, but had returned to
live in Orleans, her birthplace, and to
work in a handkerchief factory there.
Whether the pair were drowned when
their buggy plunged from the road
way into the deep swamp water or
whether Hutchins is still alive is un-
certain.
In the meantime the body of Miss
Young lays in an undertakers es-
tablishment for examination by DIR.

Britain Is accused
Of WiUful Hating
Of Big Came Hunt
Barring Roosevelt Party
From Hur,za Pass Held
Discriminatory.

Accusations that the British gov
ernment and its Ambassador her, Sir
Esme Howard, are willfully prevent
ing the Roosevelt big game hunting
expedition into Turkestap have pour
ed into the embassy here from various
Americans. The letters of protest
started soon after it became known
that the India office of the London
government had refused permission
for the party to enter Turkestan
through Hunza Pass.
1t was pointed out that a large
Swedish expedition of SIS members
already has used the pass, and had
employed all the native bearers avail
able in that part of India. Under
named expeditions, 1t was explained,
are in great danger, as food and
facilities are scarce. Permission to
Theodore and Kermit was refused, it
was said, because the India office felt
morally responsible for all expedi-
tions passing through.
The Roosevelts have been advised,
1t is understood, to enter Turkestan
by some other pass or postpone their
trip for a year. Further Information
on the subject is being awaited from
London.

Ry the Associated Press.

MADISON, Wis, March 25.-Two
wet" bills were recommended bv the
Senate committee on State and local
governments yesterday at hearings
marked by the admission of two sena-
tors that they technically were vio-
latfng the Severson State dry act,
which prohibits the manufacture of
light wines and beer exclusively for

The committee approved the bill to
remove the State penalty for home
liquor manufacture, and also recon-
mended for adoption a resolution
memorialiZing Congress to amend the
Volstead act to permit sale of light
wines and beer under Government

When the repeal bill was being de-

lating the Severson act, 1 do not

Severson act by making wine in my
home. l know several persons in my
district connected with the Anti-Sa
loon League who are probably doing
the same thing. l do not consider
this a violation of any law. as the

READ OWN OBITUARIES.
Exploring Scientists Were Thought
to Have Died in Storm.

The novelty of reading their own
obituaries was accorded members of
a group of scientists from the Geo
logical Survey, who explored the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado River,
and were almost caught when
cloudburst raised the river overnight
90 feet.
This was revealed yesterday by
Lewis r. Freeman of California in an
illustrated lecture before pupils of
Sidwelfs Friends School, 1911 I street.
The exploring party, Mr. Freeman
explained, was warned just in time
when the cloudburst descended TO
carry their boats and supplies up the
steep slopes of the canyon out OF
danger. They remained there three
days, until the river had subsided to
safety levels. When they reached
friends at the end of the canyon they
found that the storm had been so
severe and the canyon so turbulent
that their friends had not only feared
their loss, but the newspapers had
printed their obituaries.

CARROT IN COURT

NEW YORK, March 25.-Lillian Gish
eats raw carrots for nervousness.
This vegetarian habit of the screen
actress was revealed in Federal Court
Charles H. Duell, president of In
spiration Pictures, Inc, to compel her
to make pictures only for his COM
pany.
Throughout the opening session of
the trial yesterday, Miss Gish took
an occasional bite of a carrot. Spec
tators wondered whether the diet had
anything to do with her enviabIe COM
plexion. She was asked the reason.
"Oh, I'm awfully nervous" she re-
piled.
Holland Duell appeared as counsel
for his brother. He described the
action as "a contract-jumpinE case"
Max Steuer, counsel for Miss Gish,
pleaded that she could not under
stand a contract.
Would Sign Anything.
probably" he said to the court,
you have never come in contact with
a mentality so uniquely lacking in
capacity to read and analyze a doc
ument, or understand figures. AL
though she is without peer as an
actress, she would sign anything that
any one asked her to sign"
Duell replied that Miss Gish was
approaching 80 years and should be
able to understand a contract. Miss
Gish's lawyer portrayed the plaintiff
as a bit like a screen Svengali, minus
the hypnotism, but dominating the
little star and drawing up wills for
the whole Gish family.
Attorney Duell said that Miss Gish
had received $253.O00 In salary and
percentage from Charles DuelFs COM
pany in a little more than two years.
Miss Gish's carrots divided interest
in headlines today with an incident
of the arrival from Paris of Gloria
Swanson and her husband, Marquis
