House Budget for National Guard Training Scored Chief of Militia Bureau Ap peals to Senate Commit tee to Increase the Appropriation. Washington, Jan. 24,— Vigorous protest against the siae of house ap propriating for the National guard and reserve officers training corps have been received by the senate ap propriations committee revising t lie War department hill. Maj. Gen. George C. Rickards, chief of the to litia bureau, has informed the senate committee that the house ap propriation instead of providing for expansion of the National guard, would result in a real reduction of strength. Referring to the house committee's statement that the appropriation was designed to enlarge the National guard to 213.000 men. General Ric kards said the money actually provided by the house "would make it impossible" to increase the guard to that figure and, on the contrary, would result in a "serious decrease in efficiency." The Reserve Officers Training as sociation of Ohio has informed the senate committee that the house pro vision for the reserve officers training corps constituted "outrageous and ut terly unjustifiable treatment." The house voted $1,705,000 for the train ing corps and the association de clared $5,750,000 was necessary. General Rickards has informed senators that with the fund allotted it would be impossible to prepare the guard for field service or to provide i for four day schools of instruction ! for officers, noncommslsioned officers and selected privates. State rifle com- j petitions nlso would be precluded, he said, and it would he doubtful whether National guard teams could be sent lo ratlohal rifle matches. British Sovereign’s Son to Wed Earl’s Daughter The duke of York, second son of the British ruler, will wed a commoner, rather than marry outrode the British Isles. Ilis bride, it is officially an nounced in London, will be Lady Klizabeth Bowoa-Lyon, daughter of the rather poor earl of Strathmore of the Scottish peerage. It is an unusual coincidence that no member of the British royalty in the past 160 years has married save in the Scottish peerage, unless the bride happened to be a foreign princess. Lady Klizabeth, who is 22, was bridesmaid to Princess Mary, the duke's sister. The (Juke of York is 27. He proposed three times —once while dancing, once while golfing and the third and last time while horseback riding.

One specification of tiie report was that $50,000 worth of supplies are in tiie purchasing agent’s storehouse, all of which will be obsolete and worth less within two years. Ilaldrige Is Defended. The committee charged that tiie university had employed Howard H. Baldrige, Omaha attorney and father of Representative Baldrige, to do le gal work at a fee of $2,257 when uni versity law school professors could have handled tiie litigation. Edgerton was defended as a citi zen who was not employed by the committee, but as sue who had of fered his service without pay and without expectation of pay, but sim ply as a public duty. The committee declared its members unable to see why the university should object to a thorough investigation directed by any citizen or taxpayer. Debate on the report was brief but spirited. Representative Baldrige defended the employment of his father. "My father wrote a 300-page brief and won the litigation,” he said. “The charge included a fee of $1,800, the rest being expense of the brief and other necessary items. I still insist that tliis committee is prejudiced a--* that the public good will not be served by an Investigation undertaken in this spirit, prosecuted with venom and special animus.” “What the committee has reported today is not all that we know al leady," said C. D. Yochum of Otoe county, a member of tiie committee and a university graduate. "If we told today all that wo know, it would shake the state. Wo simply have at tempted to justify the continuance of our investigation. If thiR investiga tion is stifled, It will bo the worst blow the university has ever re ceived.” “The burden of school taxes is so great that it is creating a division be tween educators and taxpayers.” said Representative Dan Garber of Red Cloud. "If something is not done, a most sort'ms clash will come." Representative Ed A. Smith of Omaha criticized' Dean Cutter'S ex pense accounts. Trips such us he took to attend conventions, Smith sahl, were forbidden by law-, as proved in a < ase undertaken by himself | against Omaha city corngstssioners ; several years ago. He urged action J to force a refund from Cutter. Cutter Expected Attack. "That's just tlie kind of thing 1 thought they'd spring," commented Dr. Irving S. Cutter, dean of the medi cal college of the I'nlversity of Ne braska, wlien informed of the criti cism directed against him by tlie In | vestignting committee. "If a student putts Mmol, we reim burse him. We give him a check out of our imn cash fulul. We take his i receipts and send them in, and the i money ia repnid to the rash fund. "Now, the reimbursement to til1* nurses for personal losses sustained 'in the fire, that money went to the nurses—not to me." Germans Continue Resistance in Ruhr (< untlnilril From l’«*c OiM.I pose of stopping the export of coni to Germany ns well ns the disappear ance nf rolling stock into unoccupied territory. ^ 1922 Banner Year. Documents seized by the French in Essen show that 1922 was a Dinner year in cast Iron and steel production In the Ruhr, comparing favorably with 1915, which was the most pros perous on record. The French report that from 11,000,000 to 12,000,000 tons of steel were turned out in the Ruhr in 1922, which is 100 per cent produc tion as compared with 1913. According to official figures for the first nine months the production of cast iron averaged 1.605,000 tons in 1913, or about 85 per cent. The Thys sen Hamborn works produced 590,000 tons in the first nine months of 1922, against 519,000 tons In 1913: the Stin nes llochum plants, 498,000 tons as compared with 477,000 tons, both firms exceeding their 1913 output, Iniluslriallsis Fined, Mayonce, Jan. 24.—(By A. I’.)—The six German industrialists, headed by Fritz Thyssen, who were arrested by the French occupation authorities in the Ruhr for refusing to carry out or. tiers to insure reparations delivery from their res »%tive plants, were con victed here today by court-martial. Tn each instance fines were imposed in francs and aggregate $20,000 in American money. Officials here were unwilling tu comment on the judgment of tha courat. hut permitted the feeling tu srpead that it would serve as fur ther proof of the mildness with which the French government is conducting iis operations in the Ruhr.

Official ligures place the number a* present In the Ruhr district at about 45.000 trooiw, 50 French en gineers, 12 Italian, and 12 Belgian en gineers. Others will he sent forward as rapidly as needed. The necessity of concentrating the technical forces and guarding troops in the Ruhr under one command is felt, and it is thought probable by persons close to the premier that Gen. Weygund, Marshal's Foch's chief of staff, will lie given supremo complain!? with the title of high com missioner for the Ruhr. M. EeTrocquer. minister of public works, who had a considerable part in organizing the engineers, will prob ably visit the Ruhr for a short period so that he can make a first-hand re port to the cabinet. Reports arc cur rent that one of the most conspicuous steel manufacturers In France has been asked to go to Essen. This is taken to meau that M. Poincare Is determined, if necessary, to operate the works there as well us the mines, if the Germans continue to stand out. Dr. Grant Says He Feels He Should Reform Church New York, Jan. 24 —The Rev. Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, rector of the Protes.ant Episcopal Church of the Ascension, further convinced his sup porters lie would neither recant Ins alleged heretical views or resign, as demanded by Bishop William T. Man ning, by Utterances in an address hero A yesterday. ” "There Is a widespread belief in church circles that uny one. who does not agree with every part of th" church’s creed and doctrines should get out." Dr. Grant said "I don feel that way about it at all. "If one does not agree with every law on the statute books, one does not get out of the country. But on 1 dors work for reform and strive to j change the laws and policies in which I one docs not believe.” Mother of Geraldine Farrar Dies of Pneumonia at N. V. New York.
