Petroleum company and a director of
the Guaranty State bank.

28 Supported by State.
Twenty-six of the boards and com
missions are supported entirely by
tate appropriations. One of these.
the dairy and food commission, Is
supported by appropriation, but col
lects a considerable sum in fines, fees.
tc, which goes into the general fund
and is not automatically appropri
ated to the collector as inother cases.
The state highway commission and
the state land board derive, their
funds from sources other than either
appropriations or fees. The state fair
board also operates under special arrangement.
Another appropriation, not included
in the above list, aggregates $20,000-
ror the biennium and is for the state
exhibit agent at Portland. Out of
this she receives a salary and pays
the-expenses of her department.
.Funds lor the operation of the state
highway department are obtained
from motor vehicle fees, gasoline
taxes and self-retiring bonds, while
the money necessary for the conduct
of the state industrial accident com
mission is derived from fees charged
against employes and employers who
take advantage of the workmen's
compensation act.
A survey of the official records
shovs that the charges that Oregon
is burdened with 70 or 80 commis
sions for which their members re
ceive fat salaries are untrue.
COMPROMISE IS EFFECTED
Mr. Harding Indicates to Members
of House Committee 130,000
Men Should Be Jlinimum.
WASHINGTON, Z. C. March 3
President Harding tok a hand in
the army strength discussion today,
summoning members of the house
army , appropriations subcommittee
into conference after a ; talk with
General Pershing. -
the subcommittee vesterdav agreed
tentatively to cut the army enlisted
strength for nest year from the au-
inorizea lbo.uuu to 115,000. Alter the
White House conference it was dis
closed that an administration policy
for a force of not lels than 130,000
had been formulated and expressed.
The present actual strength is about
137,000.
" General Pershing; Silent. -
General Pershing would not discuss
the nature of his taiik with the presi
dent, but when the summons to Chair
man Anthony and his associates fol
lowed there was.no effort to conceal
that General Pershing had felt 't nec
essary to appeal to the president
against the cut in the army the com
mittee had in mind. .
As active head of the army, General
Pershing is known to feel that not
alone the efficiency, of the new mili
tary policy, worked out under the
national defense act of 1920, is threat
ened, hut that even the post-war
scheme to combine the regulars, na
tional guard and organized reserve
into one army would be Impaired if
the regular service were further re
duced before the new system had been
perfected and was in operation.
Military Policy Permanent.
At the war department Acting Sec
retary Wainwright said the military
policy of 1920 was adopted as an abid
ing policy and was not a plan "sub
ject to the whim or caprice of every
shift in the economic situation."
'If that policy was needed in 1920,
it also is needed in 1922," he said.
Full confidence was expressed In
administration circles, after the sub
committee's conference with the pres
ident, that a conservative course
would be followed in army reduction
when congress completes its work on
the appropriation bills. The commit
teemen are known to have been as
sured of complete sympathy by the
executive, with their desire to reduce
government - expenditures in every
possible way. It was quite evident,
however, that a cut below the 130,000
strength figure would not be regard
ed by Mr. Harding as "conservative
in view of the present situation of
the world.
The president also is fully awara
it was said, of the situation with re
spect to putting the military policy
of the 1920 act into effect.
ARMY STATIONS THREATENED
Secretary Weeks Says 25J Forts,
losts and Camps May Close.
MIAMI, Fla., March 3. Reduction
of from $50,000,000 to $60,000,000 from
the war department budget for the
new fiscal year, reported to be the
plan of the house appropriations sub
committee, would mean a decrease of
at least one-third In 250 army forts,
posts, flying fields and training
'camps "of this country. Secretary of:
War Weeks said today. '
It would be impossible, with a force
of .only 100,000 men, to man these
forts, camps and fields, even with a
sufficient number of men to drill
squad," Mr. Weeks declared.
"The member of congress who votes
to make the cut. beyond what we
think it ought to be should not com
plain if the department finds it neces
sary to abandon a fort or post or
field or eamp which happens to be in
his district, said Mr. Weeks. "It is
not my army; it belongs to the people.
and if they want to make the cut,
they have the right to do so."

FOREIGN LOAN DATA
ASKED OF BANKERS
Notice of State Department
in Nature of Warning.
CO-OPERATION IS SOUGHT
Flotation of Bond Issues on Amer
ican Market Held to Be As
! suniing Great Importance.
WASHINGTON. D. C, March 3.
Notice was issued today by the state
department that the government ex
pects American bankers to advise it
fully of the details of the foreign
loans with other governments or mu
nicipalities abroad before negotia
tions of such loans are concluded.
The department in its notice, which
was in the nature of warning, said
that the desirability of co-operation
in such loans which was explained
to ,the banking Interests at a con
ference last summer between Presi
dent Harding and certain members of
the cabinet arid representative Ameri
can investment bankers did not seem
sufficiently well understood in bank
ing and investment circles.
Information Is Requested.
"The flotation of foreign bond is
sues in the American market," said
the state department, "is assuming
increasing importance," and on ac
count of the bearing of such opera
tions upon the proper conduct of af
fairs, it Is expected that American
concerns that contemplate making
foreign loans will inform the depart
ment of state in due time of the es
sential facts and of subsequent devel
opments of importance."
Officials explained that while there
Is no law compelling bankers to fur
nish such advance information to the
government, the department believed
"that in view of the possible national
interests involved it should have the
opportunity of saying to the under
writers concerned, should it appear
advisable to do so, that there is or is
no objection to any particular issue."
Guard to Be Taken.
The department informed the bank
ers that the absence of a statement
from the government even though the
department might have been fully
informed regarding any loan did not
indicate either acquiescence or objec
tion. It was emphasized also that the
department would not pass upon the
merits of foreign loans as business
propositions nor assume any responsi
bility whatever in connection with
loan transactions.
It was also explained that it was
necessary to guard against represen
tations by bankers that foreign loans
in this country had received the sanc
tion of the American government.
CHINESE FEAR SHOOTING

men. Chinatown has been in a state

ST
THROAT OF LATE TEXOR NOT
REMOVED. SAYS WIDOW.
Announcement That Rome Papers
Had Printed Diagrams Is
' Called Ridiculous.
NEW YORK, March 3. (By the As
sociated Press.) Mrs. Enrico Caruso,
widow of the famous opera tenor, to
night spiritedly denied cable dis
patches ffom Rome to the effect that
her husband's throat had been re
moved shortly after death and left
to the Naples museum for acientlfic
examination.
The announcement that Rome pa
pers had reproduced pictorially the
throat of .the tenor she greeted With
a single word "Imposition!"
Mrs. Caruso's denial was supported
quite as emphatically by Bruno
Zriato, who was Caruso's secretary.
He branded the report as "preposter
ous." "Impossible," Mrs. Caruso declared
after she had seen the dispatches.
"There is not a word of truth In the
statement. The throat of Mr. Caruso
was not left to the Naples museum
nor to any other museum or persqn.
"At no time after Mr. Caruso's
death was his body unwatched by
some member of the family until it
was sealed away in the Canessa
chapel at Naples. There is but one
key to the chapel,- and I have it. It
has never been out of my possession.
"I cannot understand the reported
publication of pictures of his throat,"
she continued. "if must be some
hoax."
ROME, March 3. (By the Associat
ed Press.) The throat of Enrico
Caruso, which was left at the time of
his death to the Naples museum for
medical examination, was reproduced
pictorially by the Rome newspapers
today. Doctors whose opinions were
published described it as the most ex
traordinary development known for
vocalization.
Caruso's vocal cords er twice the
normal length and his breathing
power was described as phenomenal.
The epiglottis was as thick as that
of the deepest bass slnger'a. while Its
attachment to the tongue was of such
a nature as to permit the greatest
rapidity of vibrations, thus account
ing for the immense range of the
great tenor's voice. His lunir power
was so enormous that he could make
the chords of a piano vibrate by
merely breathing upon them. The
doctors described Caruso's lung a
those of a superman and declared
that from head to foot ho was a mag
nificent singing machine.
