THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM - WEDNESDAY, JAN. 15, 1913

CHARGES UNFAIR TREATMENT GIVEN GUARD OFFICERS Senator Says National Guardsmen Were Forced to Make Way for Regulars. WASHINGTON. Jan. 15. Represen'utlve Gallivan of Massachusetts, Demcrat, speaking In the House yester"uy. charged that officers of the Nalonal Guard had been relieved of their ommands late in the war to make vay for regular army officers, most f whom, he said, "would run away frotn a baked apple." He said he would demand an Investigation by congress. MaJ. Gen. Clarence Edwards, who was adjutant under Lawton In the Philippines, Mr. Gallivan declared, was told by a division chief of staff, "If you don't get these National Guardsmen, we'll get you." Mr. Gallivan asserted that he knew of a Texas officer, two colonels from Mississippi, a brigadier from Pennsylvania, who also had been relieved of their commands, and Representative Hutler of Pennsylvania, Republican, interrupted him to say he knew of a Pennsylvania captain. Secretary Gets "Peeved. "If you ask the secretary of war for an exlanatlon," continued Mr. Gallivan, "you are told that he has nothing to do with It. that Gen. Pershing la In complete authority and if you ask him the second time for some other Information he geta peeved." In reference to Senator Chamberlain's recent speech criticising the war department for failing to function. Mr. Gallivana said that this was true and that the Oregon senator's speech "awoke the country and the department so that it proceeded to function In part." Later Mr. Gallivan identified the division chief of staff who made the threat as Col. Duncan Major, and said Gen. Edwards, a regular army officer, who commanded the New England division, was relieved and sent home because he would not do "dirty work."

THOM IS WITNESS IN RAIL HEARING

(By Associated Press) VVSHINGTON, Jan. 15 A. P. ni. counsel for the association of 'way executives, continuing his vment today before the senate invtate commerce committee for ren of the railroads to their owners, '.d enormous power given the feder1 administration could be justified nly as a war exingency. "It may be' Mr. Thorn said, "that afler five years of federal control conpress mr.y have to buy the railroads to collect debts. Will not this experiment coerce congress to a decision lor government ownership based on financial necessity grown up from extended federal control?" lie questioned the constitutionality of tV proposal to continue the present method of "renting the railroad properties," during a period -of peace. Chairman Smith announced that Walker D. Hines would be heard when the railroad men conclude their case, probably Monday.

Income Tax Forms Ready by February 1 (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 Forms for reporting incomes of $5,000 or less probably will be in the hands of revenue collectors for distribution to taxpayers not later than Feb. 1, Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper an

nounced today. He said it could be!

stated aenmteiy now mai laxea iur the calendar year 1918 would be collected under provisions of the pending bill as finally passed, and not under the provisions of the old law. It was explained that conferees on the new revenue bill have made sufficient progress to justify the bureau in proceeding to print and distribute tax return forms.

ASK INJUNCTION AGAINST ENFORCING TELEPHONE RATES

William M. Bailey, manager of the Richmond Home Telephone company, said today that be thought the complaint for an injunction to prevent enforcement of the new telephone rates might result in favorable action by the postmaster general. "There is no way of forcing Mr. Burleson to change the rates," he said, "but he may be persuaded to change his orders when he Is informed of the complications that will result in toll line charges. At present there are twelve toll rates from every town to every town." The Indiana Public Service Commission yesterday requested Ele Stansbury, attorney general, to prepare a complaint to enjoin all the telephone companies operating in Indiana from putting in effect the toll charges proposed by Postmaster General Burleson to become effective Jan. 21. The action was taken by the Indiana Commission as the result of a conference of the chairmen of the Public Service Commissions of Indiana, Ohio, Illinois ( Wisconsin, and Michigan held at Chicago Monday. The conference was called by the Illinois commission, and Indiana was represented by E. I. Lewis, chairman of the Indiana Public Service Commission. At the conference it was agreed by the five state commissions to institute legal proceedings to enjoin the telephone companies . from charging the proposed federal tolls. It was stated by the Indiana commission that the federal management had announced that the new toll charges would not affect an increase, but it has been found, it is said, that in some cases the increase will be as much as 20 or 25 per cent. The commissions take the position that they have absolute jurisdiction over the rates charged by telephone companies within the confines of the state and that no other agencies have the right to propose charges without the approval of the commission. The position is taken by the Indiana commission that the rates promulgated by Mr. Burleson for this reason are illegal.

Ask U. 5. Action Toward Suppression of Lynching (By Associated Press) CINCINNATI. Jan. 15 The board of managers of the Freedman's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal church, meeting here, passed a resolution asking the senate and the house of representatives of the United States to pass a federal law for the suppression of lynching.

NEW INDUSTRY LAWS

Inadequate conditions for women and children in Industry in the state of Indiana will be discussed at a mass meeting of the . people of Richmond in the High School Auditorium next Friday evening at 8 o'clock. All citizens are asked to come to this meeting who are interested in the welfare of Indiana's emplsyed women --' and in existing conditions relating to the children of the state in industry. A national movement for the bettefw ment of conditions is being urged by Miss Julia Latnrop of Washington. IX C. In the state of Indiana the matter is being pushed because conditions in this state are not up to standard. "Our labor standards for safeguarding their health and morals are not -adequate," Luella Cox said. "After a woman has passed the age of eighteen in our state there is but one provision of law governing hpr employment, namely that she may not be engaged in manufacturing betwen the hours of 10 o'clock at night and 6 a. ei. the next day," Other figures. Mrs. Cox has compiled, show in the school year of 191617, there were 118.CO0 children between the ages of 14 and 16 years in the state of Indiana. Of this number there were 65,000 in school, and 53.000 out of school, employed, etc. In 1917-18 there were in this state 125.000, children betwen the ages of 14 and 16 and a greater proportion of these were not in school.

John J. Shea Taken to Prison After Long Fight (By Associated Press) TOLEDO, O., Jan. 14 After fighting for four years a sentence of six years in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ua., John J. Shea, formerly of New York, was taken today to begin his sentence. Shea was arrested more than four years ago in a fake wire tapping scheme in which a Michigan farmer lost several thousand dollars. Shea has been in Buffalo. He was convicted in U. S. district court about a year after his arrest. The verdict was sustained by the court of appeals in Cincinnati and the U. S. Supreme court refused to review the case on a writ of error. Shea returned last night from Buffa'p and gave himself up.

BRITISH REVEAL SUB CONSTRUCTION

LONDON, Tuesday, Jan. 14. The admiralty today permitted to be made public the real story of the submarine cruisers the British successfully constructed at the time the Germans were boasting of their super-submarine. The British craft have two funnels and make twenty-four knots an hour on the surface under steam power. They carry from eight to ten torpedo tubes, two or three four-inch guns and also are equipped with internal com

bustion motors for surface cruising. The hntt pries for thp nndor.apa imwer '

can be charged from both the steam and combustion engines and an in-

j genious scheme has been devised for

quickly dismantling the funnels for the purpose of submerging. The vessels displace two thousand tons on the surface and 2,700 tona submerged. They are 340 feet long, have a beam of 26 feet and a cruising radius of three thousand miles. They are designed to be even a match for torpedo boat destroyers in surface fighting. It is also learned that the British have built a submarine carrying a 20inch gun although the detaials of this craft have not been public. The new

ideas embraced in the construction of j the craft include the "cushioning" of

the boat, to withstand the terrific concussion of the gun. This idea is represented unofficially as having been successful. So far as is known the new craft was never employe against any enemy vessel.
