HOOVER MOVES TO CHECK VAST
 MILITARY COS7
TAKES STEP TO ACCENTUATE KELLOGG PACT AND STIR
 SENTIMENT ABROAD

WASHINGTON. July 31, (P)- Upon the eve of proclaiming in force the Kellogg Anti-war treaty land with the world sentiment in creaSing for limitation of naval m m II ts, President Hoover moved to check the countrys in creasing military costs through the revision of the army budget toward lower levels.
 A commission of the general staff will be named to work out a plan with the immediate view of ef- fecting tax reduction The presi- dent in announcing the new pro- .cedure, de Jared that military expenses of the United States now constitute the largest mili tary budget of any nation in the world and this at time when there is less real danger of conflict than at any time in the the past 50 years.
 In fact, the president pointed out that the estimated purely military expenditures will con- stitute one half of the increas- ed government outlay estimated by 1883
 It is now estimated, he said, that the military outlay for 1883 will be $8O3, ,OOO,O ,OOO which is $120,- 100000 more than the similar ex- penditures for military activities of the army and navy of $25O,OOO,- 900 annually. The President said that he was hopeful that further expenditures might be saved thru a naval disarmament agreement.
 His decision is interpreted as a step taken to stimulate the sentiment abroad for limitation, of naval armaments as we'll as a move at this time to accentuate the importance of the Kellogg Pact.

PORTABLES SURVEY
REPORT IS DELAYED
Marsh Indicates Several
More Days Will Be Required
to Complete Task.

Several more days will be required
for the municipal architects special in
spection committee to complete its re-
port on Washington's portable schools,
according to Harold H. Marsh, chief
structural engineer of the architects
Office and one of the engineers who
examined the buildings last week.
The report was to have been pre-
sented tomorrow to Albert l.. Harris,
municipal architect, but constant in
terruptions and other duties incident to
their regular work has delayed the
compilation Of their findings by Mr..
Marsh and John A. Long. engineer in
charge of the District Repair Shop, the
other inspector.
The position the engineers will take
in their report was not made known by
them today. They are expected, how
ever, to stress the fact that constant
moving Of the portable schools weakens
the structures and adds materially to
the general cost of upkeep. The engi-
neers at present do not intend to make
extensive recommendations, but mean
to report the actual facts they discov-
cred on their hve-day tour Of the build
ingS.
After he receives the report, Mr.. Har-
ris will forward it to the school author
tiles, at whose request the inspection
was made.

SENATOR DECLINES
TO AID ANDERSON
Caraway Commends Wash
ington Police in Holding
Trial Board Action Fair.

Senator Caraway of Arkansas. to
whom Mai. Henry G. Pratt, superin-
tendent of police, submitted papers in
the case OF Policeman Joseph w. An
derson, said today he had found moth
ing to warrant him in interpoSing an
objection to the police trial boards
recommendation that Anderson be dis
missed from the force.
Anderson, whom the trial board
found guilty of conduct prejudicial to
the good order and discipline of the
force, complained to Senator Caraway
that he had been framed" because he
had accused other officers of accepting
graft, and shortly before the Arkansas
Senator left Washington after the re-
cess of the Senate he asked Maj. Pratt
for q full statement Of the facts in
the case.
Anderson appeared before the Trial
Board on June last on charge OF
failing to pay a just debt and his ex-
PLANTATION of failure to pay the debt was
that he was mot taking graft like some
members of the force" The board sub
sequently found Anderson guilty of con-
duct prejudicial to the good order OF
the force and characterization.
Senator Caraway, pointing out today
that he had not promised to help An
derson, but had agreed to look into the
facts in the case, said he was not i'm
pressed with Anderson'S story and that
he was convinced the man was given
fair trial by the Police Trial Board.
There never was a police force Of
several hundred men in which there
we're not Irregularities" Caraway said.
But think the Washington force is,
on the whole, good. I am convinced
the Trial Board was fair to Anderson"

Fraser and Mcdonald, Who
Slew Men Who Wounded
Them, Commended.
ACTIONS TO BE CALLED
TO HERO MEDAL GROUP
officer Bailey's Dismissal Over
ruled and Sentence Is Re-
duced to SIS Fine.

The District Commissioners today Of
ficially commended two policemen who
were severely wounded while making
arrests and killed their assailants.
Policeman Robert j. Fraser was
stabbed near the heart by a colored
man in an alley on the night of April
z when he ordered the man to go into
his house. Without warning, the man,
Richard E. Hall, drew a heavy dirk
knife and stabbed Fraser in the upper
left chest. Though desperately wounded
and weak from loss of blood, Fraser
closed with the man. drew his gun and
shot him twice. Hall died at Casualty
Hospital few hours later and Fraser,
although lying near death at Emer-
gency Hospital for many days. finally
recovered and is now back on duty.
The coroner's jury found that Fraser
was justified in the shooting in de-
Tense of his life.
Mcdonald Is Commended.
Policeman Harry ]. Mcdonald on July
placed two men under arrest on sus-
picion of burglary. Taking the men to
Seventeenth and @ streets, Mcdonald
got out of the machine to send in call
for the patrol wagon, when one of the
men shot him through the chest, and
both made break for freedom. Not
withstanding the fact that Mcdonald
knew he probably was MORALLY wound
ed he held onto the machine for sup
port, drew his service revolver. and fired
four shots, two of them striking Albert
Aldridge, one of the escaping colored
men. Aldridge later died at Emergency
Hospital. Mcdonald is still at the hos.
pital as the resultof his wounds.
The concentrations will be entered on
the mems personnel records and their
cases will be called to the attention OF
the committee, which will make annual
awards of gold and silver medals to
heroic policemen and firemen under the
terms of an act of Congress approved
last March.
Bailey Sentence Reduced.
The Commissioners also set aside an
order of the Police Trial Board dismiss
ing Policeman G. A. Bailey of the second
precinct and ordered the sentence of the
board reduced to a fine of SIS.
The Trial Board had found Bailey
guilty of failing to communicate
through the patrol system, failure to
report off duty, neglect of duty, con-
duct prejudicial to the reputation, good
order and discipline of the force, and
intoxication. The Commissioners ap-
proved the findings on all charges ex-
cept intoXication, which in their opin-
ion was not proved.
The Commissioners relieved Motor
Cycle Policemen William r. Greenfield
and Bruce c. Black from motor cycle
duty and assigned in their places
Charles w. Sine and Walter E. Davis.
