The father of Dorothy Cromrine stated tonight that h had received no definite news of his daughter's disappearance until informed by a representative of The Arizona Re publican. He denies any knowledge ef her having a fiance in Phoenix and states that she may be motor ing to Los Angeles with a friend. Girl Strangely Missing idjstery surrounds the disappear ance of Dorothy Cromrine, a pretty 20-year-old girl employed in the United tates land office, who has been miss ing from this city since Sunday morn-' t&f. j'acking all her belongings in a stripped red Saxon car, the girl has dropped completely from view. Not a trace was left behind by the young woman, who may have been prompted , tn disappear by a lover's quarrel. Jlcr friends stated yesterday that she was engaged H J. W.

He was shocked beyond belief and has not rested a moment since that hour, doing all he can to unravel the mystery. He is the more concerned because he holds himself responsible.

P. Leased Wire , LONDON. May 7. Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, who is spokesman for the war cabinet in the house of commons since the premier's duties in managing the war do not give him time for constant at tendance in parliament, told the house this afternoon that the cabinet had decided to entrust to a commission of two Judges the investigation of the charges which General Frederick B. Maurice, former chief director of mili tary operations in the British war office, made, that the cabinet had de ceived the country In parliament about the army in France. Atquith Leads Opposition Ex-Premier Asquith, who is always a supporter of parliamentary tradi tions, led the faction in the house which insisted that the investigation be made by a parliamentary com mittee. Mr. Bonar Law stood firm for a judicial inquiry, on the ground that the deepest secrets of the conduct of the war were Involved and the cabinet did not wish to reveal them to a com mittee, which might not safeguard them as the Judges would. Test Vote Is Possible There will be a debate on the ques tion Thursday, and in the meantime, it passes into the realm of speculation. Talk was rife about Westminster that the government may be overthrown on a test vote on this technical phase of the question. Of all the remarkable and unexpect ed events which the war has evolved none surpasses the situation precipi tated by one of the most distinguished generals of the British army. General Maurice acted on the plea that "my duty as a citizen must override my duty as a soldier." May Punish Maurice Anyway Mr. Bonar Law refused to give as surances that the disciplinary meas ures against General Maurice would be suspended pending the result of the investigation. General Maurice has strong support from the portion of the army behind him; how strong remains to be seen. Critics of the premier have accused him of trying to shoulder upon the army what they allepe have been his mistakes and a newspaper controver sy has been going on since the begin ning of the German offensive, which may be described as the army against Republican A. P. Leased Wire i WASHINGTON, May 7. Hearings on the billion dollar aviation estimates in the fifteen billion dollar army ap propriation bill virtually were con cluded today by the house military committee, with committeemen ex pressing satisfaction over the war de partment's present organization for aircraft production. While no vote was faken on the question ot whether the committee should institute an inquiry into the sweeping charges against the past management of the program, it was said after the meeting that the mem bers were agreed there was nothing in the situation to warrant such action. Amount Spent $307,000,000 In addition to outlining the program for the coming year, war department officials gave the committee an ac counting for the $740,000,000 already appropriated for aviation, showing that $307,000,000 actually has been spent and of the unexpended balance, $270,000,000 covers contracts for con struction already placed. Before the committee in executive session were Secretary Baker, Major General March, acting chief of staff. Major General Squier. chief signal of- ficer. Brigadier General W. L. Kenly, chief of the division of military aero nautics, William C. Potter, chief of the equipment division of the signal corps, and a number of other officers. Knows of No Criminality Mr. Potter testified that he knew of no criminal neglect on the part of either the manufacturers or of the gov ernment officers. Secretary Baker said much of the criticism of the airsraft program has resulted from pro-German propaganda. Members of the committee wanted to know whether German plotting had in terfered with production. Mr. Baker said he could not say it had. Mr. Potter declared material had been destroyed, street cars used in carrying men to the manufacturing plants had been wrecked and sabotage had been oracticed. all of which had been at tributed to German influence though LIEUT. PERI6QRD IS DENVER, May 7. Lieut.

Lieut. Perigord described war condi tions in France. John A. B. Scherer of the council of national defense also spoke. Governor Julius C. Gunter, who pre sided, read the following telegram from President Wilson: "May I not express to the war work ers of Colorado my profound apprecia tion of the public spirit that has led you to call a war conference at Denver on May 7 and 8.

HOUSE CQWlWlinEE SATISFIED AT PRESEfiT DR6ANIZATIDM FDR AIRCRAFT PRGDUCT10M SPEAKER AT DENVER the politicians, the gist of which has been that the war cabinet has over ridden its military advisers in matters of strategy and especially in regard to the military demands for men on the western front. This quarrel has come to a crisis, which now is likely to be settled and the air cleared. Famous Military Authority General Maurice is one of the fore most military authorities and military historians of the war. He was recent ly relieved of his position as director of military operations at the war of fice, and it was understood that he was then being transferred tcr&n important position in France. No notice of an other assignment has been issued how ever, and apparently none was made. It was rumored that when he was relieved from the war office position this was done because his statements to the newspapers regarding opera tions in France were substantially a contradiction of the premier's state ments to parliament, notably his re marks that British success depended on the arrival of "Bluecher in time," Bluecher being the French, and the possible reading between the lines that he doubted whether "Bluecher" would arrive. Mr. Asquith's Motion The debate on Thursday will hinge upon a motion by Mr. Asquith worded, "that a select committee of this house be appointed to inquire into the alle gations, or correctness in certain state ments of ministers of the crown to this house contained in a letter of Major General Maurice, late director of mili tary operations, published in the press of May 7." The letter of General Maurice was written to the morning papers in which it appeared today. It charges Bonar Law and Premier Lloyd George with having made misstatements in the house of commons with reference to militarv matters. Nearly t"e "Lie Direct" General Maurice recalls that Bonar Law on April 23 said the extension of the British front in France was not dealt with by the Versailles war coun cil and asserts that the chancellor's statement is incorrect. He declared: "I was at Versailles when the ques tion was decided by the council to which it had been referred. General Maurice then traverses Pre- ( Continued on Page Two) no evidence had been produced tea prove it Flying Over Lines Representative Anthony said he had seen a letter stating that during March the German airplanes flew at will and unmolested over the allied lines, tak ing photographs. General Squier re plied that it still is possible for air planes of the enemy to fly over the allied lines and take pictures and that it also is possible for the allied planes to do the same work over the German lines. Anent Liberty Motor Mr. Potter said the French and British governments, while they were satisfied that the Liberty motor is a good engine and economical in gas and oil, preferded the Bugatti and Hispano-Suina engines and at the re quest of the French government the war department had cancelled two con tracts for the Liberty motor, of 5,000 each, to manufacture instead the two French types. He said the Liberty motor is good for the heavier aircraft but is not adaptable to the swifter craft. Too Much Experimenting If there is any criticism to be made of the aircraft situation, Mr. Potter told the committee, it is that too much time may have been wasted in ex perimenting of a new, single type of engine, taking up time that could have been used in getting better results from existing engine types. He said aircraft progress has been obstructed by lack of sufficient spruce. Members Satisfied Representative Kahn. California, ranking republican member, said after the hearing that Mr. Potter's explana tion was satisfactory. He added that he was satisfied no criminality existed and that while the motors have not been produced on schedule time the delay resulted chiefly from changes in plans and from refusal of co-be-ligerents to agree upon them promptly. Representative Shallenberger, Ne braska, democrat, said he believed the explanation satisfied the entire com mittee. SIX Hi AIRSHIPS E Republican A. P. Leased Wire LONDON. May 7.

DOWNED K I OF Flit Former President Tendered Ovation At Memorial In Honor of Those Who Lost Lives In the Lusitania Republican A. r. teased Wire NEW YORK, May 5. Prussian frightfulness was denounced and the determination of America to wipe it out was emphasized at the Lusitania memorial mass mee;:ng at Carnegie hall tonight under the auspices of the American Defense nociety and the American Rights league.

Great Army at End of 1918 After reviewing the events leading up to the sinking of me Lusitania and the rejoicing throughout Germany over the crime, he said: 'America probably wttI have 3,000,000 men on the battle line before the end of 1918, and whatever larger number is necessary will be forthcoming to es tablish once more the doctrine im planted by God himeclf in the human heart, that justice shall triumph over injustice, inhumanity and terrorism." Thomas Skeyhill, an Anzac, who has been wounded many times and whose sight only recently was partially re stored, asserted that many of the al lied failures were due primarily to lack of preparedness. Not Only War- of Soldiers "This is not only a soldiers' war," he said. "It is a civilian's war. "I say to you people of America: Arise! Arise! The foe is at the gate!

Leased Wire Still another day has passed without the Germans on the western front at tempting to begin a new phase of their offensive. Everywhere along the line there have been artillery duels, at some points of ronsiderable intensity, and the. allied armies are lying in their positions waiting with expectancy and also with perfect confidence the blow that they realize soon will fall at some point in Flanders or Picardy. , Indulge in Raiding Nowhere have there been any in fantry operations which arose in im portance above raids. Southwest of Arras, near Neuville-Vitasse, the Canadians Monday night Carried out a successful stroke, killing a number of Germans and capturing three machine guns. The French in the Amiens sec tor also were successful in a similar maneuver. In addition, they repulsed an attempted German attack. Americans Are Arriving Doubtless the heavy ground due to the rains is holding back the prepara tions of the Germans, for it is, no easy task to move up men, guns and sup plies over the morass in the shell furrowed territory to the front. Mean while the allied line everywhere is be- ing reinforced to meet the enemy when again he unleashes his infantry forces, Tho Amarinqna mrn loL'inir n vi I part in this strengthening of the line. M. Clemenceau, the French premier, who has just returned to Paris from a visit to the battle front, is authority for the statement that American- troops are continuing to arrive in the battle zone in force. v British Losses, for Week An indication of the heavy fighting the British are being forced to with stand is contained in the list of casual ties reported during the week ending Tuesday. The list shows a total of 38,691 of which 6,555 officers and men were killed or died of wounds. In the aggregate the casualties are the heaviest reported in any single week of fighting. It is probable, how ever, that the figures do not represent losses on the western front alone but also take into consideration the men killed, wounded or made prisoner in the Turkish and Macedonian, theaters, where recently there has been in tensive fighting. Maurice Starts Something Considerable political turmoil has arisen in England over charges made by General Frederick B. Maurice, for mer director of military operations at the British war office, who lecently was removed from his post and stnt to active duty in the field after he had made statements which were consid ered to be a reflection on General Foch, commander-in-chief of the allied ar mies on the western front. In a letter appearing in the London newspapers. General Maurice charged Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, and Premier Lloyd George with having made mis-statements in the house of commons regarding mili tary matters. A special court of in quiry is to investigate the charges. which are denied by Chancellor Bonar Law on behalf of the government.

On the grounds that no mater- . ial proof had been presented that the huge mass of evidence seized at various points in tho country and forwarded here was actually taken trom branch offices of the organization, defense counsel asked that all of it be thrown out. "By our generous cooperation with opposing counsel we have saved the government thousands and thousands of dollars," said George F. Vanderveer, counsel for the defense. "But in this case, witnesses should be called to sub stantiate the government's claim that the matter was seized at the points indicated. "I deny counsel's statement that this cooperation has been gener ous," retorted Frank K. Nebeker. government prosecutor. "This is merely a move to compel ex penditure of thousands of dollars additional by the government in bringing witnesses from all parts of the country on a technical ground." Government counsel said the de fense had played its third and last "trump card" in the battle to bar seized letters and documents. During the period covered by the seditious conspiracy indictment, from early in April to September 1, 1917, the total receipts of the or ganization were $271,220.50, accord ing to statements prepared by R.

Youth of Commander Responsibility of the commander, Lieutenant Edward D. Newell of the naval reserves," who went down with the ship "appears to be greatly miti gated," the board reported, "in view of his youth, lack of familiarity with navy methods and an undoubted de sire to obey his instructions as soon as possible.". Referring to the condition of the vessel, the report said that the history of the Cherokee from the date of her acceptance by the government, "indicates that she was not suitable for general service at sea because of her size, age and condition. She was in need of very extensive repairs. The failure to make all of the major re pairs seems justified by the press of more important work at the navy yarn (Philadelphia), and the urgent peed of the services of the boat and for these reasons, no blame attaches to any one for such failure." The board recommended that no further proceedings be taken owing to the death of the commander.

It follows: The court, in substance, instructed the grand jury that every citizen of every state enjoys also a cifizenshlp of the United States and that this citi zenship of the United States carries with it certain rights which attach to it, because of its very nature and as a part of our dual system of government, and that among the rights protected by states, regardless of the laws of th States, regardless of he laws of the, state, is the right of each citizen to stay wihin any state when he. chooses to stay and to go into any other state and stay there or return from there as he chooses and elects. Violates Section 19 'That, as a. consequence, when any set of men conspire together to forci bly carry one man or many men out of a state and by force or threats to keep him or them out of that state, this constitutes a violation of section 19 of the federal penal code, which makes it a crime to conspire to deprive any citizen of the United States of any right which belongs to htm because of his L'nited States privileges and im munities. "He- further instructed the grand jury that when the people do an un lawful act the law presumes they in tended to inflict all the natural conse quences following therefrom. The understanding is that the court took and gave to the grand Jurv in his charge the conception of the law avhich entirely accords with the views of the government." o Republican A. P.

"While Presi dent Wilson and the cabinet were hear ing today Attorney General Gregory's plans for the inquory into charges of graft and mismanagement ordered by the president, Chairman Chamberlain of the senate military committee, an nounced that the committee proposed to re-open its investigation and "put its finger on the men responsible" for deficiencies in the aviation program. In the meantime, the house military committees, considering the $15,000, 000,000 army appropriation bill with a billion for aviation, virtually com pleted a brief aircraft inquiry of its own. One investigation Off After hearing Secretary Baker and his chief aides for aviation, the com mitteemen were agreed that the situa tion did not call for an investigation by them, and leading members said after the meeting they were convinced both that there had been no criminal liability for delays and deficiencies in the past, and that the present status of war department plans was satisfac tory. . The attorney general spent an hour with the president after the cabinet meeting. Later he announced that As sistant Attorney General William L. Frierson had been assigned to con duct a thorough inquiry. Will Examine Report One of the first steps of Mr. Frierson will be to examine the report sub mitted to the president by Gutzun Barglum. the sculptor, and to call upon Mr. Borglum for evidence to support nis sweeping charges of graft and pro-German intrigue. Attorney Gen eral Gregory said today the sculptor would be given the fullest opportunity to substantiate his allegations. In ad dition to the Borglum report, Mr. Frierson will have the report of the president's special committee, headed by II. Snowden Marshall and such in formation as has been developed ' by the senate committee. Request Pigeonholed Apparently the request of Major tenan fcquier, chief signal officer ot the army, for a military court of in quiry to establish the truth or falsity of Borglum's accusations against army officers still is before President Wil son. Some officers think the presi dent will decide that the investigation by the department of justice is suf ficient but the feeling at the war de partment apparently is that charges having been made reflecting upon the honesty and loyalty of officers, they have a right to expect a military court to deal with them.
