WARRANT OFFICERS
RENEW PAY FIGHT
Navy Men Seek Redress
| From Scale Established
by Act of 1922.

Commissioned warrant officers OF
the Navy yesterday again renewed
their efforts to procure REIMBURSEMENT
of the pay they now receive under
the joint service pay act of 1922, and
which both members of Congress and
Navy department officials have indi-
Gated at various times should be ad-
Susted
Remedial bills introduced by Sen
ator Norbeck. South. Dakota, and
Representative Johnson, South Da-
kota, at the beginning of the present
session of Congress, have been re-
ferred to the naval affairs committees
of the House and Senate and by these
committees to the Navy Department.
Bills Offered Last Year.
If action is not taken soon, it is
declared another year will pass with
no legislative action taken to remedy
g. hardship it is admitted was forced
on commissioned warrant officers by
the 1922 law and which has adversely
affected their pay ever since it went
into effect
Similar bills for the relief of this
class of officers were introduced in
Congress last year and were the sub
ject of several communications from
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur to the
House naval affairs committee. While
not altogether approving the bill in
troduced at that time, the Secretary
made it plain that his department
would have no objection to the in
PRODUCTION of a. bill permitting chief
warrant officers appointed as such
since June 80, 1929, to count all serv-
ice rendered by them in the computa-
ton of longevity pay increases, as in
the case of chief warrant officers ap-
pointed prior to that date"
Would Relieve Situation.
: The new bill provides that all serv-
Ice as an enlisted man and warrant
officer and commissioned officer in the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps, pre-
vious to appointment as commissioned
Warrant officer, shall be counted in
computing longevity increases in pay
and that these officers shall receive at
all times the same monthly base pay
authorized by law for warrant officers
of the Navy while serving at sea.
Last year Secretary Wilbur wrote
a letter to the, chairman of the House
committee on naval affairs. in which
he stated that las a, matter of jusice
these officers should have credit for
all their service and that the depart
ment would not object to legislation
TO that end"
While the bill now under considera-
tion would not restore completely
these officers to their former pay
status, 1t would he a material improve
n1ent over the present situation. it
is argued. There are about LOO
commissioned warrant officers of the
Navy who are looking to the present
Congress for relief

DEFENSE
CLOSES; STATE
ASKS FOR CHAIR

CINCINNATI, Dec. 9 R-The last
word in direct support of George
Remus' plea that he suffered from
transitory maniacal insanity when he
shot and killed his estranged wife,
Imogene here last October 6, was said
today. The prosecution Immediately
renewed it's effort to prove him a de-
liberate murderer and send him tC
the electric chair:
The final efforts of the defense
brought on a desultory session of court,
with two character witnesses testify
ing for Remus and two dispositions
read to the jury.
When the defense rested it had re-
quired IL days. OF the dozens OF
dispositions taken throughout the coun-
try only skinned parts of the two
were read, and even then the severely
reduced portions got before the jury
only after long arguments which slow
ed the trial to a snail's pace.
The first rebuttal witness was r. E.
Simmons, previously an attorney for a
Remus whisky corporation He ap-
peared several days ago as a defense
witness, testifying the outbursts he OBJ
served in the defendant caused him to
regard Remus as insane.
His examination today was devoted
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-12-10

largely to his legal efforts in behalf
of the Ohio and Kentucky Distillery
corporation, Of which he said Remus
owned SIS per cent and Imogene Remus
22.67 per cent, and the disposal of
liquidating dividends and physical as
sets of the organization.
Prosecutor Charles P. Taft II, said
that the rebuttal probably would re-
quire five days.
Ruth Remus, daughter of the slain
woman would be recalled, and Harry
Brown, brother of Mrs. Remus, would
testify, he said.
II think So" said Mr.. Taft, when
asked if he would call Franklin L,
Dodge, Jr., of Lansing, Mich, the for-
mer federal department of justice
agent to whom Remus attributes the
cause for all his tribulations.
Much of Renlus' defense was devoted
to showing that the defendant cracked
mentally, when upon his release from
the Atlanta federal penitentiary, Sep
tember 2, 1925, he heard repeated tales
of an association between Mrs. Remus
and Dodge.

GEORGE BUXTON
ANNOUNCES new
POTATO FIRM

Word was received in Douglas yes
terday that George E. Buxton, of the
Buxton-Smit Produce company, a
prominent booster of this city, has
entered into the organization of firm
to be known as the Josephson-B Buxton
company, who will be growers and
shippers of Idaho potatoes
The other partner in the firm is
Leonard j. Josephson, formerly of
Blackfoot, Idaho, who is now at Poca-
tello, Idaho, where the headquarters
of the new firm will be established.
Josephson has associated himself with
the Buxton-Smith Produce company
for the purpose of organizing the new
company which is now well estab-
liShed
Nothing is known here as to what
effect this new alliance will have on
the residence of Mr. Buxton although
the message received here states that
he will have active part in the new
firm. In letter to friends in Doug
las concerning the new project Buxton
says:
while the new firm succeeds to the
general Shlpplng business heretofore
carried on by Mr.. Josephson, the pack
ing of fancy selected brush-cleaned,
polish and hand-sized brand potatoes
in 15-pound cartons, bakers in bushel
boxes, 1O-pound and 25-pound white
cotton sacks, and 25-pound and So
pound burlap bags will be our spe-
cialty. Our Pocatello plant is being
equipped with brushing and polishing
machines, sorting conveyors, and with
every modern labor saving device
known to the fruit packing industry,
thereby cutting handling costs to the
minimum.
Discriminating trade all over the
United States has been constantly de- !,
manding better grading of potatoes.
Small packages, fancy grades put up

sacks, have won great favor wherever !,

OFFICERS ARE
ELECTED FOR
LEGION POST

Fred Hilburn post number IL of the
American legion met last evening at
the Moose hall on Tenth street and
elected officers for the coming year.
They listened to a report on the ma
tional convention in Paris, made by
Myer Stolaroff who was the delegate
from this district. Representatives of
the twelfth region of the Boy Scouts
of America and the county council
executive made pleas for the activity of
the post in legion affairs which were
acted upon favorably.
Officers elected to the post for the
year 1928 will take office in two weeks.
They are: D. r. Napier, commander;
j. D. Cooper, first vice commander; R..
N. Foster, second vice president; L. T.
Burnett was reelected chaplain of the
organization.
H. L. HumeS was reelected hiStor-
ian. Myer Stolaroff was elected fl
nance officer and Walter Ross SER
geant-at-arms. The executive commit
tee elected were Russell Meadows, j..
F. Lindner, G. c. Hinton, c. A. Berg
field and H. H. Beck.
The post acted on a number of i'm
portant matters and the chief feature
of the meeting aside from the election
of officers was the taking up and def
initely deciding of the attitude of the
legion on the boy scout work. The
post will continue to sponsor a troop
and will do so with great energy, ac-
cording to the motions passed Last
evening.

who seek that service
The association will issue bulletins
twice each week and the information
is based on telegraphic advice carrying
the last minute condition of the roads
in every section, so that detours, bad
conditions and other features that will
be of interest to the autoists will be
carried in every issue of the bulletin.
