Bill As Reported To
House Carries All of
$328,861,123 For the
Coming Year
Washington, Jan. 28. Framed
to provide for a force of 150.000
regulars the army appropriation
bill, reported to the house today
carried a total of $328,861,123, a
deduction of $63,697,242 from cur
rent appropriations. The war de
partment had asked for $692 811 -070.
The Philippine scouts, number
ing about 6,500 men, 2,500 flying
cadets and 14,000 commissioned of
ficers are not included in the
150,000 total.
Reduction in the army, the com
mittee report said, wa3 proposed
with a view to early withdrawal of
Americans in Germany Chairman
Anthony of the military sub-committee
of the appropriations com
mittee, told the house that the
present plan of the war department
to maintain nine divisions In camps
erected during the war was un
necessary waste and expense.
"While the committee has great
ly reduced those appropriations
which support some of the more
expensive branches of the national
guard," the report said, it be
lieves that if the war department
will follow a policy of permitting
the growth of the national guard
along the most economic and use
ful lines, which are infantry or
ganizations and will minimize the
organization of those branches of
the guard which require the issue
and maintenance of animals and
motors, and special technical
equipment that material economies
can be effected which not only will
increase the efficiency of the guard
but will aid in its growth and ex
pansion." For West Point an appropriation
of $2,361,488 was recommended,
an increase of $219,277. The
amount requested was $6,464,432.

Suit Started
For Minto Land
Condemnation
Suit involving the payment of
$25,000, and perhaps the health of
the community, was started this
morning before Judge Kelly, cir
cuit judge department No. 1, in
the case of the Salem Water com
pany against D. C. Minto.
The Salem water company is
endeavoring to get possession of
a piece of land owned by Minto
and located near one of the Intake
pipes from which the company
draws water to supply the needs
of Salem.
The price of $25,000 asked by
Minto for the Island Is too high
according to the water company
and under a state statute recently
passed it Is endeavoring to have
the land condemned.
Testimony brought before the
court this morning, shows that an
imals such as pigs, cows and hors
es were allowed on the place and
left their excreta thus ennangei-
ing. the water company holds, tne
purity of the water supplied to the
people of Salem. The statements
r-t nno witness brought out that
dead carcasses of animals
had
been found on the Island
plrnlckers were allowed
and that
to fre-
quent it.
Attorneys for the defense asked
that the Jury this afternoon be al

Island and determine for them
selves its condition.
