WASHINGTON, July «».—In To-
sponse to house resolutions of inquiry,
l Secretary Bakor today mad© a report
on the transportation of National
Guardsmen to the border.
I Secretary Baker says the guardsmen
in aomo instances were transported 1n
day coaches, but that no cars without
lights were used and troop trains were
not sidetrack'd unreasonably. Resu.
lar army rations more than sufficient
for the journey were furnished all tho
troops, he asserte, either on leaving
mobilization camp© or cn route.
Th© report says day coaches were
used only in ease© where owing to
th© urgency of the situation and the
large number of troops being moved at
one time, it was not practicable to,de,
lay. When day coaches were used. 11
explains, three men were assigned to
each four seats. Whenever it could
be done arrangements were made to
transfer troops from day coaches to
tourist soepers. Regarding rations the
secretary reports that where cooking
equipment was not placed on trains th©
men were furnished with money to buy
hot coffee. No roason existed for troops
seeking food from civilians, Secretary’
Baker declares.
Would Need 3000 Cars.
Acting Quartermaster General Sharp
reported that to have moved all the
troops in Pullman or tourist cars would
have required 3000 cars. The l ullman
Company made available for the troops
60 per cent of all tourist cars It owns.
Representative Slayden, who all
through the Mexican trouble has been
one of the administration's criticsior
not using the guard on the.border,
spoke in the house today in commenda-
tion of the condition of the guardsmen
and conditions on the border generally.
Mr. Slayden declared troops had been
moved without hitch and with all dis-
