Dec. 20.—Ohio j congressmen yesterday promised in- j vestigation of charges of guardsmen of | the Eighth Ohio Infantry, about to be j punished for signing a "round robin" protest against alleged neglect by j medical and quartermaster authorities j | it El Paso. "1 expect to ask a congressional in vestigation of the circumstances of the alleged neglect that the guardsmen charged resulted indirectly in the death of one militiaman." said Repre sentative Emerson, of Cleveland. "If these men are to be punished for mak ing a protest, it is only just to deter mine whether there was basis, as they claim, for the protest." Representative Emerson said if the charges were true he would ask a con sressionai investigation of cpnditions. The Ohio guardsmen, he asserted, ought to be able to present a case without arbitrarily being punished for signing a concerted protest. Other Ohio representatives—among them Representatives Gordon, Fess and Cresset' —said they preferred to await developments before starting an I investigation. A charge of neglect by 1 any responsible person, showing bad I conditions, they averred, undoubtedly would bo followed by an Investigation. 4,000 Vicker Machine Guns I Are Ordered by U. S.
