Denmark Plans to Disarm, End Compulsory Service And Cut Military Budget By H. V.

KALTENBORN. Copenhagen, July 12 (By Mail)Denmark proposes to disarm. The people have approved the proposal at a general election and the Social Democrats and Radicals, who control the government, are determined to reduce Denmark's military budget from $12,000,000 to a little more than $4,000,000. Compulsory military service is to be abolished. Paid four -month volunteers will take the place of sixmonth service recruits.

The land forces available for mobilization are to be reduced from about 100,000 men to 16,000 and the navy will abandon the maintenance of the larger units, concentrating instead' on submarines, destroyers and mine layers. "How dare Denmark thus expose itself to attack from any one of the Powers by which it is surrounded?" I asked Foreign Minister Peter Munch. He is one of the three Radical party Ministers in the present coalition Cabinet, which is dominated by the Social Democrats. Munch for Disarming. For years he has been in favor of disarmament.

He has worked for it as member of the Danish Parliament and as a member of several previous Cabinets. He was Minister of the Interior and Minister of post as Foreign Minister, so he has Defense a before assuming his present envisaged the problem from various angles. "Our Denmark proposal does not expose to any new replied. "In the first place, war with our immediate Scandinavian neighbors, Norway and Sweden, is unthinkable. We have been at peace for A century and certainly no one would pretend that we need to arm against one another.

When it comes to arming against the great Powers we hold that it is futile to try to do so. "The present Danish military system cannot create a reasonable security for our country in case Denmark should be involved in a real war. In effect, even our present system is only adapted for the performance of police tasks of a military character. Yet it creates illusions as to Denmark's military capacity at the same time that it lays upon the nation a burden disproportionate to the results achieved. Requires Maneuvering.

"I pointed this out in detail in an article which I wrote two years ago in French, which was published in Paris in pamphlet form. I summarized the same ideas in an article which appeared in the July number of Headway, a British League of Nations magazine. My opinions have not changed and you will find the answers to every question you might put on this subject elaborated in these articles." Neither Dr. Munch nor the other members of the Danish Cabinet are anxious to say much about the disarmament project just now. It is being attacked in the opposition press, and every ministerial utterance is being scanned carefully in an effort to find points of attack.

The Socialists and Radicals have a majority of at least ten in the lower house but are in a minority of four in the upper house. It will require careful political maneuvering to get the project passed. "We promised our pre-election campaign to give the people a chance to reject armament reduction bill by plebiscite." Dr. Munch continued. "This is not required under our Constitution, but Doctors Gain in Fight to Save Would-Be Strychnine Suicide The long struggle on the part of physicians of the Morrisania Hospi- tal rescue squads save the life of Louts Gissgold, 35-year-old druggist of 1181 Walton hattan, who attempted night taking 10 strychnine, entered the 24th 6 last night.

o'clock Up time, to had the man's stomach the poison and performed one blood transfusion, whil two Central Gas Company inhalation crews and two shifts of police emergency squad men had used up three large and is is we felt that the proposal was of sufficient importance, so that this was the proper thing to do." Sees No Danger. "What about Russia and Communism?" the Foreign Minister was asked. "Does this involve any danger to Denmark's peace?" "I do not believe it," he replied decidedly. "We have very few Communists in Denmark. They have no representation in our Parliament.

And as for propaganda, I have never felt that soldiers provided the best answer for it." One of the arguments advanced against disarmament by Denmark is that a disarmed Denmark would be unable to meet its obligations under the Covenant of the League of Nations. Article Ten requires members to assist one another against aggression. Dr. Munch answered this argument as follows: "What we propose to do realizes the program which Woodrow Wilson framed for the League of Nations regarding the reduction of armaments. The League has no right to demand the maintenance of any specific military force.

Nor have League members the duty of partaking in military sanctions. "Denmark does not deny the possibility of a situation in which she might partake in military sanctions; that is to say, sanctions where the tasks would be essentially of a police character. On the other hand, ever since 1919 Denmark has openly declared that in case of sanction leading to war in its real sense, the task will rest with the Great Powers who are the leaders in world politics. Will Fulfill Duties. "On the other hand, Denmark recognizes the duty to partake in economic sanctions.

It is the opinion of the present Government that to secure such participation military forces may be requisite. And such forces, to the full extent necessary, will be available under the revised military organizations which we propose." Dr. Munch refused to be drawn into suggesting that Denmark's example should be followed by other countries. "We are in a special situation," he declared, "and our situation may not be exactly paralleled elsewhere. Each country must be its own judge.

"Our proposals have not risen out of exaggerated optimism as to the victory of the peace idea. That idea 1s gaining ground slowly, to be sure. The Kellogg pact is one of the encouraging signs of the times. But the military policy of the new Danish Government is the result of a realistic examination of our situation and our limited military possibilities." CLARKE PROBERS FIND QUIMBY BANK "HOLDINGS" FICTION Continued from Page 1. Fidelity Trust Company of Newark and the Commercial Trust Company in Jersey City are in the name of J.

Edward Addicks, it developed today. Shortly after Addicks died, something approaching 000 in gilt-edge collateral, which is now worth probably nearer 000, disappeared, according to Mintzer. Andrew J. McLean, who by a coincidence was the attorney for Dr. Rita E.

Dunlevy, the creditor who holds a $56,000 Judgment against Quimby and is now an Assistant United States Attorney, discussed the situation with First Assistant U. S. Attorney George Mintzer, who was in charge of the inquiry because Mr. Tuttle was away. It was McLean who told Mintzer that there is every reason to believe that the $2,000,000 collateral missing from the Addicks estate is in the strong boxes Quimby swore he owned.

Rail Bonds Sold. McLean would not give all details for publication. He did say, however, that in "the past few years" 10,000 Rock Island Railroad bonds, known to have been part of 37,000 bonds of the same issue which went from the Addicks estate, were sold. "We have better than good information that these strong boxes contain most of that gilt edge collateral," said McLean. "We do not know how Quimby got hold of them, except that we do know he was closely associated with Addicks, and helped Addicks in a lot of his promotion schemes, many of Which fell flat.

"The thing, as it stands now, is very much mixed up. Quimby will have to explain it before it is clear at all. What we do know is that this man Quimby some five or six years 880 borrowed money from Dr. Dunlevy, in amounts ranging from $10 to $5.000. "Like the Clarke loans, they run over a long period, and they have no theen repaid.

Through Quimby, Dr. Dunlevy met Addicks, and she advanced Addicks some money for one of his promotions. She has a judgment clam against the Addicks estate. She sued Quimby and in supplementary proceedings on Staten Island, he swore there was no prior claim of any sort against the Edison claim. To Produce Keys Monday.

"Dr. Dunlevy took an assignment of that Edison claim to the extent of $56,000. In addition to that, Quimby gave her the keys to the safe deposit vaults for which he as been paying rent for several years even if they are not in his name. That is how Dunlevy happened to have the keys, and she will be here Monday to produce them." Mintzer said that Quimby would then open the boxes, but: even though he has paid rent on them, there may be difficulty with the banks. Uzal McCarter, president of the bank, said that the boxes were old ones that they are now held in the name of the Addicks estate, regardless of who originally put anything in them.

Whether the bank will permit Tuttle's men to open the boxes is a problem. Estate Has Prior Claim. In any event, it seemed probable today that the Addicks estate would have prior claim on the securities that may be found the boxes, even though Quimby was ready to offer them to pay his own debts to the bank. So far as is known, the contents of the safe deposits were never put at the disposal of Clarke Brothers and were never offered either as real or "affidavit" collateral. Quimby's habit of offering "amdavit" collateral--singing an affidavit telling of his immense wealth so that loans could be gotten by the bank on the strength of Itcaused Tuttle to resort to irony on Friday, and made Mintzer laugh out loud yesterday, Through the excursion to, New Jersey the mystery of the syndicate, about which Quimby signed a delightful affidavit, was solved.

Strauss Raises $25,000. United States Attorney Charles H. Tuttle telephoned last night that he had received the following telegram from Manny Strauss and sent the second in reply: "Reconsidering the urgency of the present situation I am arranging a credit of $25,000 to be used for the neediest of the unfortunate Clarke brothers depositors until the committee is definitely formed. Will you kindly advise me by telegram if this proposal will be acceptable with the condition that money would be deposited in your name in any bank you designate and subject wholly to your control? I am assuming responsibility for this credit with the understanding that it is an advance against money raised by the committee." The following in part was Mr. Tuttle's reply: "Your letter and supplemental telegram are two of the most ceptable communications which have received since I have been in office, and I know that they will be joyfully welcomed by the depositors as bringing hope to the unfortunate and by the public as affording once again an opportunity for the generous spirit of the good people of our city."

Sims, vice president of the Poso Products Company and manager of the Hoover ranch near Wasoo, said today that apricots were reported selling on the New York market under the fraudulent label, "Grown and packed on President Hoover's ranch, near Wasoo, Cal," and that legal steps would be taken to stop it.

Sims said that the ranch is not owned by Mr. Hoover, although he is a stockholder in the New York holding company which controls the Poso Products Company, which owns the ranch, HELD IN DEATH OF CHUM Robert Jorgenson (left), 12-year-old youth of San Jose, is being held by police on a murder charge, following his confession to his father that he killed his 8-year-old playmate, Emmett Leo Cox (right), with a rifle. They were playing in the attic. Robert, finding a rifle, thought it would be a fine joke to fire it over the heads of his playmates. "No, Rothstein Case Is Not Says Pecora on 258th Day, "Nor Are Police" By THOMAS S.

RICE. "I know that the police positively are making every possible effort to land the killers of Arnold Rothstein." So declared Acting District Attorney Ferdinand Pecora of New York County yesterday. He is head of the office during the vacation of District Attorney Joab H. Banton. "The Rothstein case is not sleeping," said Pecora.

"On the contrary, the Police Department is seeking the men wanted as the killers of Rothstein as earnestly now as it was after his death on Nov. 6, and we have hopes it will eventually succeed in finding them. I believe, let me add, that from the first the Police Department has made every possible effort in this case. Looking back we can see mistakes, but the men were and are trying. Cites Handicaps.

"Much of the handling of the Rothstein case came to me, and I can say that in the 12 years since my entrance into the District Attorney's office we have had no murder in which so many persons have been examined, or in which the police have gone to greater lengths to bring forward those who might have even a most remote and indirect knowledge of the crime itself, its antecedents and its aftermath. "Mr. Banton pointed out in an interview in The Eagle that two obstructions, from the moment Rothstein was shot on Nov. 4, handicapped the police and our office. "The first was that Rothstein, his family and friends were convinced that he was not going to die, until a short time before he actually died around 10 a.m.

on Nov. 6. "The second handicap was that Rothstein, his friends and his slayers were persons who for years had followed the policy of keeping their mouths shut when dealing with the police. His associates were of the underworld, accustomed to settling own differences and obtaining their own revenge in their own way. Neither hope of reward, nor desire for vengeance could make them tell what they knew, it they knew anything worth telling.

His Own Lips Sealed. "Perhaps the fact Rothstein was so confident of recovering was the greatest handicap under which the police have labored in seeking his murderers. He had all the optimism of the gambler who is convinced that he is in for a big winning. Rothstein had been a gambler since a boy. He had been in many tight places.

He always escaped. He had always come up with another large bankroll after severe reverses. In the long run he had winner, for his fortune is estimated at two or three million dollars. "That mental attitude he carried into his fight with death. He was absolutely convinced he was going to win, and would be able to settle with those who shot him after he got well.

The police, his family, his lawyer, his intimate friends, all tried to obtain the name of the man who shot him, but he absolutely declined to say a word, because he thought he was going to get well. Feared "Squealer" Brand. "Rothstein knew that in his circle it was the unwritten law, punishable by death, for those who had been assaulted to keep close mouths and block the police. He knew that if he disclosed the name of his assailant he would be ostracised as a squealer when he recovered; and he expected to recover, "He could not take the chance, 50 he thought, of naming the killer to his kin, for those who heard or unintentionally put the police on the track of the man with the gun and thus ruin Rothstein in his own circle when he recovered, as he expected to recover. "Even, although he consented to scrawl his name to his will when he was so weak that his hand was guided, he had not abandoned hope and would not say who fired the shot.

Bar to McManus Trial. "Mr. Banton has been quoted as saying he had evidence to try George A. McManus alone for the death of Rothstein; but those familiar with the ways of criminal defendants with ample means for their defense will recognize that trying McManus would be undesirable until the three men indicted with him have been arrested. "The obvious policy of the defense would be to create by one means or Another the impression that one of the missing three fired the shot and thereby raise a reasonable doubt that might result in the acquittal of McManus.

Then when we caught and tried the others the process reversed and every effort would be made to throw the onus on McManus, who by that time had acquitted and could not be been prosecuted again. Even though the man on the street and the prosecutor may think the evidence is clear against a defendant in a particular case nobody can say what a jury will do. "McManus is under $50.000 bail, When he will be brought to trial I cannot say because the advisability of bringing him to trial under present conditions in doubtful." Arnold Rothstein, gambler and backer of gamblers and criminals, was shot in the Park Central Hotel about 10:30 p.m., Nov. 4, 1928. He died in Polyclinic Hospital, Manhattan, Nov.

The three had left Youngstown morning, it is said, for Pontiac, where they planned to leave their craft and go farther north on a fishing trip. Controls Hooked Up. The accident may have been caused when one of the passengers became frightened and seized one of the dual controls, according to S. G. Van Buren, superintendent of the transcontinental airport here, who examined the wreckage and found the controls hooked up.

The Carters, who ran to it, believe the men died instantly, for no cries were heard from the fuselage. Hundreds of motorists soon rived, some with fire extinguishers. Heat from the flames and the tangled framework prevented removal of the bodies. When they finally were extricated identification was difficult, but was established after a key-ring bearing the stamp of Youngstown bank, a watch stamped with the name of a Youngstown Jewelry company, two Masonic rings and an initialed belt buckle were found, and a Youngstown newspaper was called. since the death of the gambler who in his own breast and in his private secrets papers was suppose to carry that if bared would explode political, social and financial scandals which would "stand New York on its head." This 258th day after the death of this promoter of criminal enterprises finds nothing whatever definitely established, despite' the fact four men have been indicted.

There is no definite expectation that on the 516th day after the death of Rothstein the police or the office of the District Attorney of New York County will have tablished anything definite about the killing of a man whose death was deplored by few, but which, as a mystery, caused the passing of Joseph A. Warren as Police Commissioner of Greater New York and entrance into that office on Dec. 18 of Grover A. Whalen, present incumbent. Biller, Roe and Doe.

On Dec. 4, 1928, George A. McManus, Hyman Biller, John Doe and Richard Doe were indicted for the killing of Rothstein. McManus was a high-rolling gambler. He had rented in an assumed name Room 349 in the Park Central and is said to have called Rothstein to that room by phone about 10 o'clock on the night of Nov.

4. Around 10:30 p.m. Rothstein was found on the street by a policeman at the servants' entrance to the hotel. He had been shot through the right side, somewhat from behind and downward It was later discovered that after entering the right side the bullet from a caliber revolver had followed the wall of the abdomen around to the left side and struck the top of the left pelvic bone. McManus' overcoat was found in the closet of Room 349.

A call was sent out for him. Warren's police The Eagle found he had passed were unable to locate him, although A much of his time in Philadelphia, going to football games and otherwise appearing openly. Hyman Biller was the pay-off man for McManus, a racetrack bookmaker. Biller had a room on an upper floor of the Park Central Hotel, and declared he was asleep at the time of the killing. Who John Doe and Richard Roe are, if at all, is not known to the public.

Three at Liberty. McManus surrendered on Nov. 27, was locked up in the Tombs for about as long as he apparently wished to stay and was released on $50,000 bail by Justice Levy in the Supreme Court on March 17. Biller, Doe and Roe are at liberty in parts unknown. That is the status of the Rothstein case.

On Dec. 26 District Attorney Banton of New York County said he had evidence to try McManus alone, if he wished. Later the District Attorney said he did not choose--or words to that effect--to try McManus alone. He was waiting until an unspecified date in a limitless future on which Biller, Roe and Doe will be in custody, to be tried with McManus. Messrs.

Banton and Pecora do not suggest in their talks with representatives of The Eagle that McManus will ever be tried unless three men now at large are captured -which may never happen. Charles H.

GUARD ON BORDER KILLED IN AMBUSH OF RUM RUNNERS Continued from Page 1. few years in guarding 3,000 miles of desolate country along the international boundary against the forays of smugglers of liquor, narcotics and aliens, and against gun runners and cattle rustlers. Noted for their fearlessness, straight-shooting and relentless pursuit of smugglers, the border patromen have fallen into ambushes on several occasions.

Scotten, who recently became member of the patrol and five other border guards, were lying in wait for um smugglers, following a tip that a big "load" was to be brought across just before dawn. Decoy Ruse Fails. Capt. H. J.

Horsley, chief inspector, stationed the six men at the island with instructions to halt the smugglers. Shortly before dawn, the patrolmen noticed a lone horseman leave the Mexican shore and start for the United States. As is usual in most cases when "big loads" are run across the border, a decoy, or advance guard, is sent out from Juarez to draw the attention of the "gringo guards," as the Juarez smuggling ring has branded Uncle Sam's agents. Positive that the horseman was a decoy the patrolmen kept themselves hidden until he had almost reached the United States One patrolman then jumped from his hiding place and called on the horseman to halt. The command was answered with bullets from the Mexican side of the river.
