ARMY RESERVE ORSANIZED To Assign Full War Complement Os Officers From Present Officers’ Reserve Corps Washington. —Comprehensive plans ' for creation of the organized reserve of the army on a basis that will per mit quick mobilization of more than four rnilion fighting men have been prepared by the general staff. An catline of the preliminary steps now in progress was made public recently by I Acting Secretary Wain wright. The first s-tep in perfecting the or i ganlzed reserve will he to assign from the present officers' reserve corps to the twenty-seven reserve divisions, the full war strength complement of offi cer. in all more than forty-six thou «and. It is expected this can be com pleted by July, when creation o| the nnn-commk sinned enlisted personnel, j Involving the selection of many thou | sands of men and their assignment to regiments, will be undertaken. De tailed plans in that regard have not j been completed. Allocation of the reserve divisions I by army corps area and states from which their (icrsonnel will he drawn | is as follows: First corps (Boston): 70th division, I Massachusetts; Mill, Connecticut and Rhode Island; 97th, New Hampshire, ! Vermont and .Maine. Second corps (New York): 77th New i York City and environs; 7Sth, New Jer sey and Delaware; 98th, New York state, outside of New York City. Third corps (Baltimore): 79th, east ern Pennsylvania; 80th, Virginia, Ma ryland and District of Columbia; 99th, western Pennsylvania. The second army area contains the following reserve divisions allocations: Fourth corps (Atlanta): 81st divi sion. Tennessee and North Carolina; 82d division, (leprgia, South Carolina and Florida; 87th division, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Fifth corps (Indianapolis); 83rd, Ohio; S Ith, Indiana; 100th, Kentucky and West Virginia. Sixtli corps (Chicago): 85th. Michi gan; 86th, Illinois; 10!st, Wisconsin. Third army area: Seventh corps (Omaha): 88th, North Dakota, Minne sota and Iowa; 89th, South Dakota. Ne ll iska and Kansas; 102 d, Arkansas and Missouri. Eighth corps (San Antonio): 90th, Texas; 95th, Oklahoma; 103 d, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. Ninth corps (San Francisco): 91st, California; 90th. Washington and Ore gon; 1 (Oth, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Mon tana and Wyoming. It was pointed out that the organ Ized reserve can ho employed only by I specific net of congress. At present, I there is no thought that the divisions ever will he called out except in a ’national emergency, and tho plans were prepared only to prevent delays and huge emergency expenditures in mobi ; lizntlon for the great war. The active ! military force of the country remains j the skeletonized regular army, backed [lij tho National Guard, subject to con stitutional limitations as to the em ploymeui as the second line of defense and with the organized reserve, or the nation armed for war, as tlie third and ultimate line.

RAILROAD STRIKE | IS NOT EXPECTED NINETY PER CENT VOTE WALK OUT-UNION MEN FORESEE NO ACTUAL STRIKE PRESIDENT ADVISES CAUTION By Announcing Stand Os Trainmen First—Lee Puts Onus Os General Strike On Brotherhoods Chicago.—ls the 186,000 members ot the Brotherhood of Railway Train men, more than 90 per cent of whom have voted to strike, are supported in their demands by the grievance com mittee, a strike will belordered. With this parting declaration Pres ident VV. G. Lee, dispatched fifty seven general chairmen of the unions I to their homes recently witli written instructions to call their grievance J committees, get their approval or dis- ! approval of the strike vote, and report ! back here next week. That the giev- ! ance committees will approve the strike was predicted at union head quarters. Lee expects to act on the commit tee instructions before the brother hoods of engineers, conductors, engine men and trainmen and the Switch men’s Union of North America have completed the count of their 259,000 strike ballots which will start here soon. The strike call, however, he in dicated, will provide for a walkout of the trainmen when and if the other unions strike. A walkout of one union unsupported by the others will not he taken. That the strike, even if ordered, will never actually take place, con tinued to he the prevailing impression in union circles recently. While Lee has promised to call the walkout if the committees so direct, he bluntly told his men in a general letter on September 12 that he would be remiss in his duty if he failed to point out to them that wagee and working con ditions established since 1918 was the result of a world war such as was never before known; that general re ports indicates 5,009,000 men out of work; that nearly all classes of labor have been forced t oaccept some wage reduction; that the pay increases granted them by the United States labor hoard was based on the increas ed cost of living, and that government reports show a reduction of more than 16 per cont in such living costs. The strike vote was taken on the question of accepting or rejecting the 12 per cent wage cut made July 1 by the labor hoard. Tabulation of the vote had not been completed, but the ballots already eounuted showed from 90 to 95 per cent of the men on every railroad system in the country voted to quit work rather than accept a pay re duction. No system failed to return less than nine out of ten votei for the strike. Lee’s determination to announce hi? union's stand before the other brother hoods complete their ballot count shifts the entire responsibility for the next move in the threatened general strike to the four unions which took a joint vote —Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers, Order of Railway Conductors, Brotherhood of Locomot ive Firemen and Enginemen and the Switchmen’s Union of North America Mistrial Likely In Jake Gosnell Case Pickens, S.

INDICTED FOR MANSLAUGHTER Club Women Grasp Fatty’s Hand As His Wife Weeps For Joy On His Big Shoulder San Francisco. —Roscoe ("Fatty”) Arbuckle, famed movie comedian, must face trial for manslaughter, but not for murder. Police Judge Sylvian Lazarus so ruled in the police court at the con clusion of Arbuckle’s preliminary ex amination. The court’s order was that Arbuckle be held for trial for manslaughter and I that the murder charge against him i be dismissed. The decision came after attorneys j had argued for an hour regarding va [ rious phases of the case, j Arbuckle was plainly pleased and j courtroom spectators seemed to be, too. The court’s decision opened the way j for Arbuckle to secure freedom on j bail, as it swept aside the charge of ! murder. The California law provides a pen alty of an indeterminate sentence of j from one to ten years in the state prison for manslaughter. "I can see nothing in the evidence presented here which would warrant holding this defendant on a charge of murder,” Judge Lazarus comment ed in announcing his decision. Arbuckle’s attorneys immediately asked release of their clieEt on bail. Judge Lazarus set the bail to $lO,- 000 bonds or $5,000 cash and lawyers left the courtroom immediately to ar range posting of the cash and to order “Fatty’s” $26,000 car brought to the hall of justice. It was expected he would be on his way to Los Angeles as soon as court adjourned. When the decision was announced clubwomen from the audience swarm ed to the rail which stood between Arbuckle and the audience and began wringing his hand, patting him on the back and congratulating him. Arbuckle hardly changed expres sion. He looked about as sober as he has always looked since his arrest two weeks and a half ago. Minta Durfee, his wife, broke into tears and wept with joy on the big comedian’s shoulder. Arbuckle shook the hands of club women with one hand and with the other caressed his wife. Mrs. Emma Philip Ina, one of the clubwomen attending the trial, pressed a book into Arbuckle’s hand. Its title was “How to Be Happy.’’ The summing up of the case by Judge Lazarus w r as leisurely, during which he viewed the fatal party at the St. Francis hotel not only as it affect ed the principals, but the world at large. He was frequently interrupted by Assistant Attorney Golden and his exchanges with him resulted in many smiles, and at least one genial laugh. Arbuckle listened intently. His fate was in the balance. He played no part. He was all human being anx iously awaiting to hear the verdict. “Now, gentlemen,” said Judge Laz arus, "before making a decision the court will indulge to a little discus sion.

SUBSTITUTE PUNS ON TAXES OFFERED TWO SEPARATE TAX PROGRAMb AS SUBSTITUTES FOR REVENUE REVISION BILL PRESENTED COMMITTEE BILL IS SCORED Senator Simmons Says Transportation Taxes Ought To Be Taken Off To Insure Return To Normalcy Washington.—Two separate tax pro grams as substitutes for most of the levy provisions in the pending revenue division bill were presented in the senate one from the Republican side and one from the Democratic side, re cently. Senator Smooth of Utah proposed: 1. A manufacturers’ sales tax of 3 per cent on articles as finally finished or produced for consumption or use. 2. • Repeal of all of the special war taxes, of whatever nature, including the excess profits and tansportation levies. 3. Retention of the existing 10 per cent income tax on corporations. Senator Smoot proposed no change in the committee plan with regard to individual income taxes, or the exist ing tobacco, liquor ana inheritance taxes. Senator Simmons of North Carolina proposed: 1. A graduated income tax on corpo rations, ranging from 12 1/2 to 25 per cent in lieu of the excess profits tax. 2. Restoration of the income surtax rates to a maximum pf 52 per cent on incomes in excess of $500,000. 3. Repeal of the transportation tax es on freight, passenger and Pullman accommodations. 4. Retention of the corporation cap ital stock tax. Repeal of the $2,000 exemption al lowed corporations. 5. That individual exemptions be confined to incomes below $20,000. . 6. Slight reductions in the normal j rates on incomes below $20,000. Senator Simmons told the senate j that if there could be an agreement j for an equitable readjustment of the j taxes so that the several groups of ; taxpayers would be on a parity as pro- j posed in the Democratic program, he [ personally would be willing to give se rious consideration to a manufacturers’ sale or consumption tax, properly safe guarded, as a substitute for all of the | miscellaneous taxes imposed under I the present law. Senator Simmons offered the Demo- ; cratic tax program to tiie senate at the conclusion of a three hours’ address, in which he vigorously assailed the sen ate finance committee bill as one pro viding for tax reduction “in behalf of j the corporations and the ultra rich.” “Taking the bill from the beginning to the end of it,” he said, “there is hardly a tax that is touched where the j little man is not forgotten and ignored and his rights trampled upon while the rich man’s slightest whispers for relief are heard and the money of the people lavishly rebated and remitted to these men who have grown so mighty in this country that they can fix the prices of my products when it is one of their raw materials and then fix the price I shall pay for the finished [ product after they have manipulated it.” Assailing the committee proposal to retain the taxes on freight, passenger and Pullman at half the present rates, Senator Simmons said if there was any tax “that ought to be taken off in j the interest of business so that we j may have a speedy return to normalcy | in this coutnry. it is this tax.” Senator McCumber of North Dakota ; (ranking Republcan on the finance j committee), in replying, declared the j North Carolina senator had not offer- j ed one word of constructive thought.” I “I can't help but contrast the dis- j ference,” he declared, “between the j support given now by the senator from j North Carolina and his adherents and j : the support which was given him in i 1918 when as chairman of the finance ! committee he was in charge of the com- | mittee bil. There was no partisanship j then and the senator had the unre served and patriotic support of all sen- ! ators. 1 regret that since the obliga tions forced upon us by the war must j be met, the senator from North Caro j lina cannot find it in his heart to dis card partisanship and help get the best possible revenue bill through con gress.” Gold Discovered In North Carolina Asheville, N.
