REDUCTION EMBEZZLEMENT Belief New Exists That Immediate Settlement of Transportation Difficulties Could Not Forestall Coal Rationing Leading Business Man of Hawaii Is Accused of Taking Largs Sum of Money From Hlo Employers Redistribution of Troops Among Pei manent Posts Is Delayed by Camps on Account of Civilian Training Washington. Stampeded ' Into de cisive action by the rapidly increasing peril of a fuel famine this fall and winter Congress dropped everything Friday for consideration of drastic measures to keep the country supplied with coal during the coming months and to prevent a recurrence of existing or impending coal shortage due to, the anthracite and bituminous strikes. The grave danger of intense suffering and sickness even freezing, among th people of these states where winter is most severe dinned into the ears of senators and representatives alike by a torrent of telegrams, galvanized both senate and house into grappling with a situation which threatens to become even worse than that of the terrible winter of 1917-191Senate debate turned from- - the bonus to the coal crisis and to the railroad strike. Seizure of the coal mines by the president unless the anthracite strike is soon settled, urged by Senator Calder, Republican, New York, was before the senate interstate commerce commission in the form of a Joint resolution offered by Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massachusetts, to empower the president to take over all mines whose products aro shipped in interstate commerce in order to open them up and furnish coal to the people. While the Walsh resolution was aimed at all " mines It was intended as a' weapon to be used by the president to deal particularly with ' the anthracite situation. A desperate rituatlon confronts the country. We are bnt 60 days from the usual period of frost and anthracite coal must be secured and distributed soon or else people will freeze to death this winter. Senator Calder said. Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, chairman of the senate labor committee, said he hoped the governor coal of every state threatened with shortage would follow the example of Governor Miller of New York in calling a special session "of the legislature to secure immediate relief and to prevent a fuel famine. Borah planned to press for tame diate action by the' senate in his bil providing for a coal commission to be appointed by the president to investigate the whole coal industry with a view of nationalization or government control and a standardization of the living and working conditions of the miners. Even if the railroad strike were settled today the country could not avoid rationing of coal this winter, it was admitted. The problem is not coal production,, but how much coal the carriers can haul. Secretary of Commerce Hoover stated. Honolulu. Serious Irregularities, tanderstood to amount to more than $300,000 and to extend over a period of several years, have been found in the accounts of John Guild, secretary of the shipping firm of Alexander and Baldwin, according to a statement issued by C. R. Hemenway, treasurer and assistant manager of the company, after a special meeting of the board of directors. Hemenways statement said: . The directors of Alexandria and Baldwin have authorized me to state that serious lrregulatlons have been found In John Guilds accounts which are now under investigation and that Guild is home in a very critical condition of health. Guild is said to have been unconscious the last two days with heart trouble and physicians believe there is slight hope for his recovery. It was announced Monday that he had signed over all his personal property to the company to make up partially tor the alleged shortage. Guild was considered one of the leading business men of the territory f Hawaii. He came to Hawaii from the West Indies and had been employed on several plantations before Joining the office staff of Alexander and Baldwinv He was promoted to the position of cashier and in 1919 was elected secretary and a director of the company, occupying the same position In the companys subsidiary. US IS 'fifty-tfire- e tor years old. many years he has been director and treasurer of the Esplscopal church here, president of the board of trustees of Queens hospital and formerly was president of the Boy Scouts in the territory. He had a widespread reputation as a philanthropist The directors stated the Guild had resigned as secretary and cashier of the company. Full details of the alleged speculations were not ascertained, but It was said that the lr. regularities might cover a period of ten years. They stated Guild had been in complete charge of the company's financies and enjoyed the full confi-denof the directors. The money which is short, it was announced, was obtained through alleged falsification of accounts. The shortage came to light last week. When Guild was questioned, the directors stated, he collapsed and was unable to make a coherent statement The directors said that Guild had been engaging in heavy stock transactions. reorganize Washington. Another tlon plan for the regular army, the third to be drafted in the last year and a half as a result of cuts In been strength ordered by congress-ha- s completed and the war department in a recent statement showed just what had been done with the regular forces to carry out successive laws. the statement This completes, said, a reduction which has been virtually continuous for eighteen months, totaling approximately 100,000 men, o'r 45 per cent of the actual strength. The departments statement said the plans were now being carried into effect, but that redistribution of the troops in permanent posts, which the project contemplates, was being delayed In order not to interfere with the training of the civilian components of the army during the summer camps. Explaining the difficulties encountered in planning a reorganization to conform to the enlisted strength of 125.000 as fixed in the last appropriation acts, the statement pointed out that no change had been made In the inisslons assigned to the regulars in the national defense act of 1920, under which an authorized strength of 285.000 was declared necessary, In the judgment of congress, to carry out the military policy then laid down. the The total present strength, atatemetftsald,ls 155,000 less than authorized by the act which resulted from the lessons of the world war and assigned the missions to the regular army, and 102,000 less than the authorized prewar strength, before the three-par- t army was created. The first problem taken up in the reorganization was apportionment of the authorized strength among the branches of the service in order to keep the military machine as well balanced as possible in viewof the specialized units which must be retained as a war precaution. Allotments were made with the reduction in each arm from the national defense act strength also shown as follows; Infantry, from 110.000 to 46,423 men; cavalry, from 20.000 to 9871 ; field artillery, 37,000 to 17,173; coast artillery, from 30,000 to 12,026 ; engineers, from 12,000 to 5020 ; air service, from 16,000 to 8500, and signal corps, from 500 to 2184. In noncombatant branches the quartermaster' corps was reduced from 20,000 to 8000 ; ordnance, from 4500 to 2307 ; finance, 900 to 399 ; chemical warfare, 1200 to 445; medical, 14,000 to 6850. Under the reduction plan there remain available for use in continental United States, 96,723 enlisted men for the performance of the many duties assigned under the national defense act. This number includes about 1000 men still In Germany. - ( ' ce Bootlegger Fights With Officer Washington.
