thought, as the whistle of a train

in the baggage room, knocked at

She supposed somehow she, her

WARM SPRINGS. Ga, March 3d.
President Roosevelt took time out
from his vacation routine on Pine
Mountain today for long cherished
trip of inspection to the famous Fort
Benning, Ca, infantry post, 60 miles
south Of here.
He arranged to leave his cottage in
mid-afternoon by automobile, with a
stop planned in Columbus to greet
city officials and representatives from
the 97,000-acre military reservation.
Two hours were set aside for the
drive with the party arriving at the
fort around pm. &C. s. t..
The President planned to spend As
minutes there, viewing the celebrated
infantry school, the latest types Of
tanks and other modern fighting equip
ment, and more than 5000 officers and
men lined up on Gordon Field.
Gov. E. D. Riders Of Georgia and
Mayor L. c. Wilson and other officials
were to meet him in Columbus, while
Brig. Gen. Asa L. Singleton, Fort
Benning commandant, and his staff
waited at the entrance to the big
reservation, spread out over bluffs and
valleys along the Chattahoochee River
Plans for the journey were COM
pleted yesterday after a press con-
ference at which the President de-
nounced opposition outside of Con-
gress to his Government reorganiza-
ton program and promised a special
message soon on railroad relief legisla-
ton.
The President said he would prepare
a message on railroads as soon as he
received further opinions from persons
now studying the reports of his special
committee recommending steps to pre-
vent further bankruptcies among the
carriers and to speed reorganizations.
He said quick action was required
and Congress need not delay to in
vestigate further because all the
needed information already was in the
hands of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Securities and Ex-
change Commission, and Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp.

THIRD PLEA MADE

Man Driven From Indiana
Town Contends Parole
Never Violated.

A hearing will be held Monday or
the third habeas corpus petition filed
in District Court by James F. Donovan
since the irate citizens of Flora, Ind
drove him from their town on Christ
mas Eve more than three years age
when they learned he was a paroled
convict.
The petition was filed late yester-
day through Attorney James j. Laugh
lin. 1t stated that Donovan, who was
serving 10-year robbery sentence
was paroled November IA, 1894, and
arrangements made for his employ
ment on farm near Flora
Donovan contends-and it has not
been denied-that he was going
straight" when newspaper criticism OF
his parole reached the little town. On
Christmas Eve posse of armed citi-
Zens threatened him with death and
forced him to flee to South Bend. Ind
where he Immediately reported to his
parole adviser
Because the Parole Board was un-
able to find another situation for him
under what is considered suitable con-
ditions, it ordered him returned to
Jail.
The first attempt by Donovan te
obtain his freedom through habeas
corpus proceedings accurred in Sep
tember, 1886, and the second in De.
cember of the same year. Both were
unsuccessful.
He contended in his petition yes
terday that there has been no Lawful
revocation of his parole and that he
never violated his parole.

Supply of Troops From Air
To Be Tested IN Maneurers
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Cavalry maneuvers in Texas next
month will test under wartime con-
ditions the feasibility of supplying
troops from the air.
Isolated units operating near the
Mexican border will receive food for
Doth men and horses from bundles
dropped by parachute, War Depart
ment officials said today.
Italy used this method extensively
IN It's Ethiopian campaign and japan
has employed it in China. In this
country 1t has been confined to peace
time emergencies, such as last years
Ohio Valley flood.
Undertaking to ''streamline" its
cavalry organization, the Army alreadv
has tentatively marked the pack mule
for the discard.
In the cavalry maneuvers from April
20 to May 16, the pack train will be
displaced by motor trucks and air.
planes. Horses, however, will be as
numerous as ever.
Gen. Malin Craig, chief of staff,
told Congress recently that, despite
the development of tanks and other
mechanical weapons, mounted troops
had secure place in American mill
tary strategy.
The 'streamlined" infantry division,
tested in Texas last year, will have
q wartime strength of 1880 men
instead of 22,070. The Army now
is proposing to decrease the size OF
the cavalry division from $4,000 to
about 5000. Greater speed and fire
power are the objectives.
The cavalry division would have
. dozen each of turreted armored
cars or tanks, and less-heavily armored
reconnaissance cars, but officials said
the Army has no intention of going

Great Britain and other countries.
