DANES ". Alfred say he plans to
make good In a big way. In 50 far
as the rangers are concerned, on
his campaign promises OF a new
deal from a new deck.
II will not be the first time that
the ranger force has been reor-
ranized. More than once there has
been a f~igurative housekeeping.
even though merits of individual
members were not involved.
Ma Eliminates Many
On the election OF Governor Mi
riam A. Ferguson two years ago,
such famous lights as CAPTAIN Tom
Hickman and CAPTAIN Frank Hamer
left the force and CAPTAIN Bill
Sterling went out as adjutant gen.
eral. commander or the rangers.
Whether that noted triumvirate
will return with the Alfred admin
istration. No knows
Alfred himself has said he has
not made up his mind about even
the adjutant general, not TO speak
OF the captains and the privateS.
However. usually informed circles
have indicated a thorough shakeup
IN imminent.
The same sources assert Alfred
regards the ranger force as n Of
the most important departments in
the state government, n which
will reflect credit or discredit on
his administration. For this rea-
son. he is said to be extremely
anxious TO have the right man as
adjutant general and men also to
his liking in the ranks.
Two Are Mentioned
Dick Waters. assistant attorney
general under Alfred. has been
mentioned frequently as a likely
successor TO Adjutant General Hen
nv HutchingS. The name of Carl
Nesbitt of Mineola, former COM
mander Of the Texas department
OF the American Legion. has been
mentioned similarly.
Captains In the ranger force at
present are r. w. Aldrich. OF Aus
tin. quartermaster: ID. Z. Hamer Of
Austin. captain OF the Headquarters
company. Leon Hannah OF Fort
Worth. George II. johnson OF Kill
gore. J. Z. Vaughn Of Maria and
James Roberts OF Falfurrias.
Waters is especially close to the
governor-elect. having managed
Allred's campaign. He has been
mentioned as q possible appointee
TO the state insurance commission.
but some persons believe Allred's
desire TO remold the ranger force
according to his own ideas may lead
him 10 place Waters in the ad-
jutant generals post.
The governor-elect Is not the only
official with an eye on the rangers
with a view to possible reorganiza-
ton. Senate committee appointed
TO investigate crime conditions has
a report coming up dealing with
methods to combat criminals and
the part the ranger force should
play.
While the committee has not
given an official opinion. Senator
j. w. K. II. Beck Of Dekalb, chair
man, said he believed there should
be a state police system built about
the ranger force as a nucleus and
including the state highway patrol.

5-Year Program Is
 Planned Increase

(By The Associated Press)

TOKYO, July 26, A fve-year plan. costing nine hundred million yen, or about two hundred and six ty-one million dollars, for the mod ernization, improvement and en- largement of military land and air forces, which was drafted by war office and general staff, was submit ted to the cabinet for inclusion in the budget, it was learned today.
 The plan calls for the annual ex- penditure of approximately fifty two million yen, and would require an appropriation in addition to the regular military funds.
 It was pointed out that the plan was made necessary due to the fact that Japan's air force is inferior to that of other nations of comparable size because Japan is extremely vul- nerable from the air.
 The limitations of Japan's indust- rial capacity require that the pro- gram be concentrated on land equip ment for the first two years, and on the air forces during the last three

LONDON, July 26-Scouting be- fore La Bassee on May l6, 1915, a German sharpshooter sent a bullet into the brain of William Hornby, London chemist. Hornby didn't die-not then. He died recently in the National hospital for Brain Dis eases, London. He had worked as chemist for 20 years before the German bullet actually got him.
 At the inquest Dr. Ingleby Oddie of the hospital told the story of the bullet and it's adventures in the brain of Hornby. Hornby had been struck in the back f the neck-a mere flesh Wiund. it appeared to be, and it was decided that it was spent bullet and had dropped out
 All went well with Hornby until two years ago, pr. Oddie said, when he became unable to carry on and developed very curious symptoms. He had fits of unconsciousneSs and tearfulneSs. His head began to shake and his arm to move continu ously up and down. He then lost the use of his legs and became com pletely incapable.
 Finally. continued Dr. Oddie, he was unable to speak, did not realize where he was and was a completely broken man.
 A post-mortem examination shows that the bullet had traversed his brain, up to the top of his skull, where it lodged against the mem- branes lining the inside of the skull. In the course of all these years the track made by the bullet through the brain had become calcified, mak ing tunnel, and at last the bullet

 CHICAGO. July 26, If MT. Fred Sauter, a painter, were a devotee of Mark Twain, undoubtedly he would have asserted the words of that writer:
 'The report of my death was greatly exaggerated"
 Three times Sauter has been pro- nounced dead in court adjudications. One insurance company, the Metro politan of New York, paid $1,0OO policy on Sauter's life, as the result of court finding that he was dead. This finding was based on the fact that he had been missing from Memphis, Tennessee, for seven years and seven years of absence raises a legal presumption of death.
 To start at the beginning, Saul ter said he moved his business from Memphis ten years ago, and, when his wife refused to follow him to Birmingham, Alabama, he ob- tained divorce Shortly thereafter he came to Chicago and that's where everyone lost track of him.
 His wife, Mrs. Sophia S. Sauter, died in Memphis and the estate went to two daughters, Mrs. Thel- ma Ryan and Mrs. Frieda Reiff. They sued to collect on Sauter's in surance and collected on the Metro politan policy. Juries also returned verdicts for the sisters on two other $1,O00 policies, one in the Massa;

Tommy Flynn and I had been working hand In glove on this rackets stun for months, Tommy eyeing a lieutenant's job in the detective bureau and wishing to knock the city editor cold by breaking the story of who really was behind the series of truck hi- jackings.
 and beauty shop I didn't need to ask the boss where Tommy was. He had been pretty sweet on Julie Dean for a long time, so I ducked past Francisco and the other two barbers, and into Julie's little man. icure booth.
 I yanked back the drape that shielded the booth from the shop outside, and there was the pride of the plain clothes force, leaning over Julies manicure table, ate taching little metal cups to two wires that stuck up through the porcelain table top. Julie was sit- ting in the corner of the booth, watching Tommy.
 I figured out what Tommy was doing without/asking him, because I could see that the wires led down the table leg, under the carpet and into the little janitors closet that opened out of the far wall of the booth.
 On the floor of the closet I could see a familiar box-like gadget. It was part of portable lie detector, the pride of Tommy's eye, but which he had never had an oppor- tunity to prove.
 I kept quiet until Tommy had finished. When the cups were at- tached he turned to me.
 Something big?" asked him.
 Might be-" he said. Tommy was always deliberate fellow.
 Anyhow" he added, i've have to work fast"
 He walked over to Julies chair, leaned over, and took both her hands.
 Going to be afraid, honey?"
 "Not with you there in the closet-and Jim. too," she said, giv- ing me an impish grin.
 That's the girl" said Tommy. "Just feed him the questions like I told you"
 He took my arm and we went into the closet, closing the door. Tommy had tested me with the lie detector before, so I knew how it worked. He'd had me stick a finger into each of the bowls, which were filled with salt water. Then he fiddled with a dial on this box like contraption I'd seen from out side.
 When he had the pointer at zero on the dial he'd ask me lSt of questions. When he caught me\ a

It was clever how Tommy had | figured to get Beauty's fingers into the bowls. He had told June to ask the Beauty to try out some cuticle softener, and while his fingers were | supposedly softening, she would sling some pointed questions con- corning his recent whereabouts subtly, of course. I knew she | wouldn't have any trouble get- | ting him. to try the cuticle softener. He was conceited, dapper little hoodlum, and we'd suspected him for long time.
 Tommy had never taken Beauty down to headquarters for ques- l tioning because he was afraid that would scare off the brains of the gang-whoeyer he might be.
 DO you figure Beauty was in an the stickup Tuesday night?" ask ed softly.
 q couldn't say" Tommys voice was calm, but I could feel his arm quivering. I think right then he was more anxious to prove his lie detector than he was to make an arrest.
 That Tuesday stickup had really been a honey. The usual attack on | a truck by an armed gang in a touring car, but this time the truck driver had put up fight. One big | plug-ugly had slapped him over | the head with something, then they had ditched him in a pile of bushes alongside the road.
 The driver hadn't been hurt bad- | ly, but the next day he'd broken out with fearful body rash. He swore the gang had poisoned him, until a doctor told him he had poi son ivy. and then the driver re- membered the bushes. I'd written a whale of feature about 1t.
 While I was sitting there chuck ling over my own wit Tommy sud- denly grabbed my arm. Some one had come into the manicure booth.
 Good old Julie didn't keep us in suspense.
 Hello, MT Nader" she called. loud enough for Tom and me to hear her easily.
 Come for your manicure? Ohi" of disappointment.
