ACTION AGAINST BOLSHEVISTS IS PRAISEDJY NEW U. & Has Been Too Lenient, Says in Address Army and Navy Lauded. ' WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 Senator New, addressing a meeting of the Loyal Legion of Washington at a Lincoln day celebration held last night at the Willard hotel, declared that the best news of the day Is that "disturbers of orderly government" and red flag wavers are being rushed to the ports preparatory to de- - portatlon. The Indiana senator also discussed universal military training and touch

ed on the League of Nations. Other

speakers Included Senators Polndexter and Chamberlain. "No news that the wires have given us lately will be received with more general approval than that appearing in the newspapers to the effect that fifty-four foreign born disturbers of orderly government, each with an I. W. W. card in bis pocket, were deposited at Ellis Island from Seattle for deportation to the v country whence they came," said Senator New. Treaties Too Lenient? "It also Is good news that others like them are to go. There is no room for their like in the United States. Every man of their like should be dismissed from the country and their kind excluded hereafter. If it be true tbat some of the too lenient treaties we have with certain countries now make such a course Impossible, in some cases those treaties should be abrogated or amended by removal of the interfering clause. The gates of the Castle Garden have been too highly hung and have swung Inward to too light a touch." Senator New declared his belief that "the army which responded to the midnight alarm shouted by Paul Revere established between that fateful night and the surrender- at Yorktown the greatest and best civil government on which the sun has ever shown." . "From Lexington to the Rhine the

American army and navy have been the greatest civilizing force the world has ever known. All honor to It, past and present," he eaid. RAIL TAX EXEMPTION LOSS TO COUNTY Loss to the county of about $2,000 a year will probably result if the claims of exemption made by the Federal railroad administration on all railroad materials and supplies are llowed. This means a loss of about one-fourth cent on the hundred of taxable property. Notice was served on local assessors of Indiana Wednesday and Thursday that all material and supplies on hnd are property of the United States government and are not subject to taxation. Total revenue of the county from the railroads is about $83,000, but only about $2,000 of that amount is upon the material inclded in the invoice of coal, oil, lumber and machine shop iron.

SENATORS CLAIM WASTE IN AVAR EXPENDITURE

Money Poured Out, Charges

Penrose Arraigns Agencies for Extravagence. WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. Final ac

tion on the conference report on the

$6,000,000,000 war revenue bill was deferred Wednesday by an early ad

journment of the senate in observance of the birthday anniversary of Abra

ham Lincoln.

This unexpected move came after Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania,

Benior Republican of the senate conferees, had precipitated a general debate with a three hours' attack on what he termed extravagance and waste in appropriations since the war began.

While promising the revenue meas

ure his support, the Pennsylvania senator said it taxed the country about

to the breaking, point and asserted that the American people were "alarmed, If not disgusted," by congressional appropriations. He said money had been "poured out in a kind of debauchery," and he sharply arraigned the use of appropriations for the Shipping Board, Railroad Administration and other government agencies. The Russian Bolshevik, he asserted, could have operated the railroads better than they have been operated by the government. Senators Lewis, of Illinois, and

Thomas, of Colorado, replied to Sen

ator Penrose's charges and declared

that If there had been extravagances

in appropriations the Republicans were subject to the same criticism as the Democrats, as united support had been given for war expenditures.

Many Children Registered In "Baby Year" Campaign WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 More than 1,500,000 children in the United States have been weighed, and measured since the "children's year" campaign to save lives lost from preventable diseases was inaugurated by the children's bureau on the first anniversary of the war.

Wisconsin has returned more cardsthan any other state, a total of 165,000 or about 65 per cent of the state's population under five years old. Connecticut, Rhode Island and Iowa have sent in cards representing one-half of their pre-school population. Indiana, Nevada. Louisiana, Nebraska, Massachusetts, Minnesota and North Dakota have returned cards for more than one-third of their children.

Germans Are Unwilling to Guard Pole Relief Ships (By Associated Press) BERLIN. Feb. 13. The railway administration at Danzig has notified the government that the military authorities there are not in a position to furnish the necessary number of troops to protect the first three Polish relief ships which are due at Danzig early next week, according to the Kreuz Zeitung. The commander is said to have requested that American troops be sent there but this has been refused because the American commission Insists that the German government be responsible for the protection of food shipments and that Germany be obligated to make good any losses. The situation is complicated by tht failure of French or American troops to arrive, which will make necessary the policing of the entire railway line from Danzig to the Polish frontier. The Danzig railway administration, therefore, ha3 sent an urgent call to Berlin for the prompt dispatch of an adequate number of troops.

HEARING ON GAS ORDER MONDAY

In response to numerous demands for and against modification of the

order of the United States Fuel administration, of December 12, which ordered the discontinuance of natural gas service to consumers classified in a lower class than class three, until

April 5, 1919, T. B. Gregory, director of the United States Fuel administration in the department of oil and gas, has called a public hearing on the matter at the William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh, Monday, February 17, at 10 o'clock. Byram Robbins, city attorney, and Nimrod H. Johnson, general manager of the Light, Heat and Power company, will attend this meeting. Mr. Johnson said today that as yet he was uncertain what his recommendations would be. He said that the mild weather has been hard on all gas companies and that if it were certain that therewould be no cold weather he would recommend that the gas companies be put on the lines again. He said it would be more satisfactory for the manufacturers to use gas as it is cheaper than oil, a good grade of which has been difficult to get Mr. Robbins said he had written a letter to Mr. Gregory in which he said that if there would be no cold weather

and it was certain the Logan Gas and Fuel company would have an ample supply for the use of domestic consumers and manufacturers, he saw no reason why the order should not be revoked, as it had been issued to meet weather conditions. However, on the other hand, Mr. Robbins said, the Logan Gas and Fuel company conceded at the former hearing that its supply was not sufficient to meet the demands of both domestic consumer and manufacturer and that since that time, the company makes the statement that it has an excessive supply since the manufacturers have been taken off the lines. Robbins said that he made a suggestion to Mr. Gregory that the order be continued in effect for 30 days.
