Although it had been expected that participation of these organizations would have to be denied, | hoped some means of giving the high school cadets a place in the line of march would be found. It will be the first time in many inaugurals that they have not appeared. When William T. Galliher, chair- man of the inaugural committee, sub mitted his list of organizations that had requested permission to partici- pate to Brig. Gen. Rockenbach, chief of staff to the grand marshal, Maj Gen.

From every part of the country have come requests from his toric military organizations for per mission to come to Washington at their own expense and appear in the line of march.

John T. Nolan, commander, and James F. McCann, treasurer, of the National Disabled Soldfers’ League, through Attorney Abner Siegal, to- day asked the District Supreme Court to quash subpoenas issue against them in John Doe preceedings before the Federal grand jury. The sub- poenas asked the officials of the league to bring before th grand jury “records, books, documents and all other written matter relating to the business of the league from January, 1921, to date.” Mr. Siegal contends that the sum- monses do not describe with sufficient detall the documents and papers de- sired; that he is not apprised of the nature of the proceedings against his clients and that the demand for the papers constitutes an unreasonable search and seizure. No probable cause Is shown, he asserts, of the necessity for producing the papers re- quired. United States Attorney Gordon ad- mitted that subpoenas had been is- sued in an investigation before the grand jury into transactions of the league through the sale of lead pencils for the benefit of disabled soldiers. The prosecutor admitted that the books had been requested in order that the grand jury may see how the money, said to amount to $250,000, collected by the league since {1922 had been expended. Aftorney Siegal stated that a com- mittee of the House of Representa- tives will also begin a hearine Mon- | day concerning the affairs of the league. Hamilton Fish, jr. of New York, is chairman of the House com- mittee before which witne cluding Director Frank T. H the Veterans' Bureau, have been sum- moned. Naval Officers Transferred. Lieut.

He was satisfied, he declared, that the countries which sent their youths to fight for France would be just. “It would have been useless to save us, only to ruin us now,” he exclaimed i There was a mistaken idea, particu- | larly in England, that the wealth of | France amounted to about 1,800,000,- { 000,000 francs, while in reality about 000,000,000,000 of convertible wealth | should be considered. The English, he said, paid only a third of their £2,500,- luun 000 income, while the Ampricanm were taxed only one-twentieth of their gross income of $71,000,000,000 from their wealth of $300,000,000,000. He explained that the budget, which the government originally presented as 32,000,000,000 francs, had been in- sed only for bigger pensions and | increased pay for employes. it Convict Again Escapes.

By the Associated Pres NEW YORK, February 14.—Detec- tive Christopher Hagen of the New York Police Department was shot and killed by an unidentified negro early today as he was quesiioning the man and two companions while searching for highway robbers in the Bronx. The assailant escaped, but his two companions were brought down by shots fired by Policeman Hegney and were captured. Hegney and Hagan, touring the district where many holdups have been reported, stopped the three negroes to question them. One of the men dropped a tapewound cable wire, fashioned like a blackjack, and as Hagan stooped to pick up the weapon, the negro whipped out his revolver and fired two shots into the detec- tive’s body. Hagen died within a short time. As the negroes fled Policeman Hegney emptied his re- volver at them and then used Hagen's pistol, which the latter had handed him. The two wounded men gave their names as Harry P. Whitman and Norman Robertson.
