Lieut Frank H. Marks, chemical fare service, of 1440 W street, GIVEN GRAND JURY _Hoover Beliefed to Have Presented Facts in “Old Hickory” Deal. George P. Hoover, special assistant to Attorney General Daugherty, who has been designated to take charge of the prosecution of war fraud cases in the District of Columbia, is presenting his first case to the special grand jury today. Mr. Hoover declines to -say what the matteris which is under con- sideration, but it is admitted by the Department af Justice that it relates to the investigation of the Old Hickory case. United States Attorney Gordon was with Mr. Hoover before thé grand jury today. The sale of the Old Hickory Powder Plant was investigated by the subcom- mittee of the select committee on ex- penditures in_the War Department of the House of Represéntatives, of which Representative Graham was chairman. At that time jt developed that this powder plant, located at Jacksonville, Tenn.. named “Old Hickory,” after President Andrew Jackson, and which cost the United States in the neigh- borhood of $90,000.000 or $100,000,000. was sold to the Nashville Industrial Corporation for somthing like $3,500,- In the course of the congressional in- vestigation it developed that after the bids had been opened and whilo the proposed sale was under negotiation, one of the bidders saw Assistant Secre- tary of War Williams on Friday, Octo- ber 8, 1920, and stated that his company would put in a bid upwards of $4,000,- 000, and asked to have the matter kept open until the following Monday. The evidence before the congressional ccm- mittee also showed that Gen. Clarence C. Williams, chief of ordnance, on the re- port of Col. Dwight K. Shurtleff. chief of ordnance salvage board, recommended the rejection of all bids. _Notwithstand- ing this situation, E. C. Morse, director or sales, who had supervision of the sale of surplus’ property of the govern- ment, got in touch with Secrstary of War Baker Sunday, October 10, 1920, and obtained his approval for the ac- ceptance of the bid of the Nashville In- dustrial Corporation. It developed that Secretary Baker had been engaged in campaigning in New England and came through Washington on his way to the west, remaining here only on Sunday, at which time Direc:or of Sales Morse obtained his approval.

The protest asserts that while China welcomes the introduction of foreign educatipaal methods, it does not desire them connected with the preaching of Christianity Advices from Amoy, dated July -5, stated that an anti-Christian move- ment, said to have started with the tormation of twenty anti-Christian or- ganizations in Peking University, spreading rapidly over China and that the agitation had reached Amoy Uni- versity, the government schools and other institutions. Ciristian_-leaders and consular authorities at that time expressed alarm at the extent of the movement, said to have been backed by communist agitators. A week later Shanghai reported #hat missionary circles and even of- ficial spheres were alarmed by re- ports from widely Separated sources in central China of the spread .of anti-Christian denominations. These reports came from reliable sources in Nanchang, Changsha and Wu- chang. A foreign mission worker at Nan- chang telegraphed to Hankow that anti-Christian propagandists, at the instigation of suporting factors in Shanghai. were forming an anti- Christian' federation with the aim of expelling_ Christian influences from China. Chen Kwang Yuan, tuchun at Nancharg, was asked to check the activities of the agitators. It was known that Anti-Christian influences were active in Shanghai, but no expression of them had been given publiely ¥ CROWD HADLEIGH SALE.

It is understood that serious con- sideration {s being given to such a scheme. which would involve the training of every buck private, “devil dog” and others in some mechanical capacity, so that each soldier would have another trade beside that of a soldler. Only Hour’s Notice Needed. Thus an “army of peace” could be thrown into the industrial field by the federal government at an hour’s notice, each man fully pre- pared to make or repair locomotive Wheels, mine coal, or do any one of the thousand or more things done in industry. 5 With the hundred thousand mem- bers “of the United States Army trained In such fashion, those behind the plan belleve that the govern- ment would be fully capable of cop- ing with any crisis that might arise. There are now in the Army many men fully trained in one or more of the mechanical trades, but these would only be a handful, it is real- ized, and could not, to any material extent, help in a general strike situa- tion. Plan Training Schools. Installation of regular training schools would be necessary, it is held, in order to allow for the careful training of all the men in the Army. When trained, thus a labor reserve would be formed Jn the active mili- tary service. from which the men could be detailed. Thus the sight of a man in khaki at the throttle of a transcontinental train would be no unusual sight dur- ing the course of a great strike which tended to cripple the entire transportation system of the country. The soldiers. would be under orders, of-course, and would wear their uni- formw and carry their weapons. It is believed that such men on duty, not as strikebreakers, but under or- ers of their government, would hardly be interfered with by 'strikers.

Sullivan Says Conversations Not Necessary in Meeting Courtesy Duties. ‘Washington traffic officers must be snappy in movement and quit talking to friends while on duty. These are the orders issued in the police gepart- ment bulletin today by Maj. Sullivan, chief of police. It doesn’t mean, how- ever, that the courtesy of the Wash- ington traffic officers shall be cur- tailed in any way. Captains are ordered to notify each and every man who is doing duty regularly at crossings, as well as those who may be substituted in traf. fic work at times, that under no ci cumstances are they to carry on gen- eral conversation with = frlends, strangers, officers of the force or any one while on duty. “This order does not in any way,” it is explained, “lessen or interfere with the obligation of each and every policeman to be courteous to stral gers seeking direction, or to help per- sons who may be asking questions. This is police business. “Violation of this order will be handled in a disciplinary manner knd continued violations will result in charges being flled with board. “Traffic officers, whether operating semaphores or not, must stand in the center of street intersections to signal traffic. Talking to friends and failure to signal elich and every vehicle or street car coming through is in neglect of duty. “Traffic officers should also be ex- ceedingly careful of their appearance. They should be snappy in action, stand erect and present a good mili- tary bearing at all times.” TR} for probate. Willlam Hausmann and Ludwig Merkel gre each to have $1,000, while Jnlaa}l A.
