Indianapolis men known to be
aiding in the promotion are God

the club; John Darm0dy, acting as
treasurer, although Ralph Lanius Of
Cincinnati is the official treasurer;
and Frank W Young, Lawrence and
Anderson, Ind, lumber dealer.
Check up on Treasurer.
Daumody was made acting treas
urer to facilitate the handling Of
the clubs funds in the banks here,
since the treasurer is a resident Of
Ohio. Darmody said that before he
accepted the responsibility he went
to Columbus and Hamilton, Ohio,
and looked up Baxter.
He said he learned Baxter was
financially responsible, that Baxter
was chief game warden Of Ohio for
six years and in the Ohio fish and
game department for eighteen years
and has been in the dog racing
business for the last three years.
The Kennel Club promoters were
bothered for several weeks by un-
certainty over the patent rabbit"
which on a metal track of its own
inside the dog track lures the grey
hounds into occasional bursts of
speed. Without a rabbit" dog

those who invest" luckily in the

The races will vary in length from
three to five-siXteenths of a mile.
Admission will be fifty cents.
Two Glasses of Partners.
Yaeger, the club lawyer and sec
retary, says that he is prepared to
successfully resist any legal action
to stop the race meet.
The system under which the club
is organized is a European plan,
known as a limited partnership"
said Yeager. Under it there are
two classes Of partners, general and
special. Special partners have a
United liability and can not be as
sessed more than the amount of
their holdings. A general partners
liability is unlimited
Yaeger declared that the Illinois
and Florida supreme courts have up
held the system, declaring it not

Patrons VIII Not BET"
Patrons are not going to bet
on the dog races, declared a. c..
Baxter, Columbus, o., manager OF
the Indianapolis Kennel Club Ltd
They are not going to be" they
are going to 'invest" in the dogs
which race. according to Baxter.
This system, which is being used
in Illinois, Ohio, New York and
Florida. provides that all invest
ments will be made by the envel-
ope' plan and no actual cold cash
will change hands" said Baxter.
Every person paying an admis-
sion to the dog track will be given
a ticket bearing a number. This
number is to be used in the making
of investments. Any person desir-
ing to invest two dollars or more
must obtain an investment envelope,
place the sum inside, seal the en-
velope and on the outside in the
spaces denoted write the number
of his admission ticket, the number
Of the race and the number of the
dog upon which the investment is
to be made and the amount to be
invested.
Dividends are Earned.
The investor will take the en-
velope to a window where he will
give the envelope to an attendant.
The investor does not receive a re-
ceipt.
This envelope is then taken to
the brokerage Office where a calcu-
iator totals the amount of invest
ments, and deducts 10 per cent as
the fee charged by the investment
brokerage house, which is operated
by the Kennel club.
Then the profits percentages are
estimated. The dogs do not win
place or show. Instead they come
in one. two, three. At the close
of the race the investor appears at
the brokerage window, displays the
number on his admission ticket and
is returned an envelope bearing the
same number and containing the
dividend earned by the investment.
OF course, if your dog loses you Go
not 90 back to the window"

 But when they got to the fire at 7:26 o'clock last evening. they found that it was not the build ing, but an old apple tree which grew perilously close to the build ing. Some boys, it seems. hau started q fire at the base of the tree. Being hollow, the old apple acted like a flue, and in short time sparks were going up from the top of the tree.
 Within few minutes the fire was out, the company reporting back in service at 7:49 o'clock.

Army Begins Survey Preparation
 In Accordance With Hoover Plan;
 Some Opposition to Scheme Heard
Secretary Good and Gen. Summerall Decline to Com ment-Obsoete Branches of Defense Expected
 to Stand Most of Pruning.

Washington, July A P - High army officials were started today on a close study of the program of President Hoover for curtailment of expenditures of the United States for military purposes with the in tricate task ahead of them of de- ciding what branches of the service offer the best opportunities for re- auctions.
 No Comments from Army
 While Secretary Good and Gen. eral Charles P. Summerall, chief of staff, would not discuss at length the presidents proposal, they, with other ranking war department off, cials, have lost no time in begin ming preparations for a survey to be made by the proposed commits sion of leading army officers within the general staff. AS yet. Secretary Good said, no definite plan for the survey has been formulated.
 He showed. however, that he was in full accord with the presidents plan. He said; "The expenses of the army had been creeping up rapid ly within the past few years" and the plan to check them was very proper.
 In army circles, it was believed that Jthe reductions in expenditures probably would not greatly affect the three branches of the service- aviation, the infantry and artillery which played such an active part in the world war. However there were some arms of the service which did not play major role because of the modern methods of warfare and army officers expected these would bear the brunt of the expenditure slashes.
 Surprise to Congress
 The announcement of the presi- dent came as a surprise to the few members of congress remaining in the capital during the recess es- pecially on the house side A num- Der of members who were in the
New Britain herald., 1929-07-24

city, however, expressed their views and several were in conflict with MT. Hoover's plan.
 |. Chairman Reed of the senate military affairs committee, world war veteran, said the army had been working constantly to keep down it's costs and further reduc- tion of expenditures might injure its efficiency. He attributed the higher expenditures of the United States than other nations to the higher pay and better rations of the American soldier.
 Another world war veteran in the senate, Bingham, republican, Con- necticut, who was an aviator, took an opposite stand and suggested the elimination of at least 50 of the 70 or so garrison posts of the army. He proposed that the army posts be limited to three large divisions, such as New York, Washington and Texas and to army schools Many of the posts, he added, were estab- llshed during the Indian wars
 Tavors Large Navy
 Senator Connally, democrat, Tex as, declared that reduction of ex- penditures in the army could be made, but he favored an American navy as large as that of any other nation.
 On the house side, Chairman Britten of the naval committee said he refused to think of national de- fense in terms of dollars and cents" He held that while tax reduction was important, national defense was more so and said he would op- pose any reduction in naval eXpen- ditures unless England agreed to scrap her ships under the 1921 Washington naval treaty. A demo- cratic member of the naval com mittee, Representative McClintic of Oklahoma. asserted the presidents survey would not prove successful unless the commission included some civilian members.

 A light truck being driven by Rohe, according to the police, struck two other automobiles near the Francis junk yard at the foot of Wa terbury mountain. Rohe, it is said, was in a line of cars and turned out, evidently intending to pass one ahead of him. He drove directly into the path of two sedans coming from the opposite direction.
 The truck first struck the auto- mobile of Gerbase, tossing it onto it's side and smashing it badly. The truck continued on on struck an- other, new one, owned by R. J. Zadnick, a dealer of Southington, and occupied by Arthur Masthay, his wife and two children.
 Dr. R. F. Thalberg of Southington was called to the scene and immedi- etely sent Gerbase to the hospital in Neriden. He treated the members Of the Masthay family for cuts about the face caused by flying glass.
 Upon the request of the police, pr. Thalberg examined Rohe and gave the opinion that he was in- toXicated. Rohe was held under bonds of S2OO which his employer. MT. Bingham, said he would furnish later.
 At the Meriden hospital today, it was said that the condition of Ger base was fairly comfortable and he was in no danger. His arm is very badly hurt but the extent of the in- Jury will not be known until X-ray pictures are taken today
