WAR PROJECT IS DEFENDED AND KNOCKED

Nitrate Plans, Including Great Muscle Shoals Plant, Subject of Varying Report by Committee. IS BLACK AND WHITE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 18. Two reports, one by Republicans condemning the government's entire war time nitrate program, and charging reckless waste and extravagance, and the other by Democrats, defending It and charging partisan bias by the majority, were presented today to the house by a special committee which took up the Investigation nearly a year ago. Along with 41 general condemnations of the government policy, the Republican majority, comprising Chairman Graham, Illinois, and Representative Jeffers, Nebraska, submitted recommendations for the disposal of the Muscle Shoals properties, which Representatives Garrett of Tennessee,

beyond its province. Mr. Garrett indicated that he would make a point of order against the report on the ground that members said this would open the way for the biggest political fight in the house since the war Investigating committee was created. Lay Blame to President. Republicans laid blame for the nitrate program, entailing an expenditure of about $116,000,000 at. the door of President Wilson, with Bernard M. Baruch as the moving spirit of the wartime project, although Representative Garrett, speaking for the minority, declared that, the president acted on the suggestion of Secretary Baker and that both could assume the responsibility without thought of apology. Charging the air-nitrates corporation, builders of the Muscle Shoals plant, with failure to perform its contract, the majority recommended to congress that no further soms be paid it on account and that civil suits be instituted for recovery and that the whole question of pay be threshed out in the court of claims. It was also recommended that the government pursue such remedies as miht be decided by the attorney general. After asking congress to sell materials stored at the Toledo and Cincinnati plants and retain the Sheffield, Alabama plant, the committee recommended that the government lease the villages built for officers at Sheffield, r.t a cost of $12,000,000. Make Fertilizer Plant. The principal recommendation by the majority related to the big Muscle Shoals plant, costing $70,000,000. Being . too valuable to scrap, the majority ,1-recommended that it be leased and 'converted into a fertilizer plant for the sale of products direct to farmers with the right of the government to take it over In time of threatened war. Further expenditures at Muscles Shoals were opposed. In the two reports, embracing 75,000 words, every detail of the nitrate propram was discussed. Declaring that throughout the majority report "there run three ads of suggestions of sinister and unworthy motives" on the part of Frank S. Washburn, president of the building corporation. Mr. Garrett contended that Mr. Washburg and his associates in appearing before the committee, had all the bearings of gentlemen and good citizens." Answering "veiled attacks" on Mr. Garrett he "played a most important and praiseworthy part."

Knox Resolution Rousing Little Interest in Berlin (By Associated Press) BERLIN, May 17 Only a few Berlin newspapers comment editorially on the vote in the United States Senate on the Knox resolution ending the state of war between the United States and Germany.

UNCLE SAM GOES TO WORK ON RAILROAD MESS; CARS ROUTED (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 18 Responding to telegraphic appeals, state railway and public service commissions throughout the country today were working in conjunction with the interstate commerce commission in an effort to relieve the practically nationwide freight congestions. Hundreds of investigators were at work securing data on conditions at important gateways and terminals, and most of this was expected to be in the hands of the commission tonight. After informing themselves of the situation through this data, the commissioners are expected to announce a course of action for relief, but at best, they pointed out, it will require several days and possibly weeks before anything like normal transportation conditions can be renewed. Complaints Increasing In the meantime an increa-sing number of complaints from shippers and requests for assistance from railroads themselves continue to come in, and numerous suggestions for embargoes and priorities have been made. The committee is keeping in constant touch with every move and is urging co-operation between all elements concerned as the only possible solution. NEW YORK, May 18. Eighty per cent of New York City's export trade has been diverted to Philadelphia, Baltimore and other eastern ports by shippers desiring to avoid the congestion caused here by harbor and railroad strikes, according to estimates made by shipping men here today. Thousands of carloads of export freight have been switched to other cities because of railroad embargoes, it was stated. 80 Join American Legion On First Day of Drive More than 80 new members were added to the local post of the American legion as a result of the Monday's campaign, the leaders of the drive estimate.

Penrose, Not Sims; Originator of Charges Against Navy, Says Daniels

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May IS Senator Penrose, Republican, Pennsylvania, and not Rear Admiral Sims, originated the basic charges against the navy e'epartment contained in the admiral's letter of January 7, Secretary Daniels asserted today before the senate committee investigating the naval conduct of the war. Mr. Daniels recalled that the Senator in a speech in the senate, Aug. 21, 1918, declared that procrastination on the part of the secretary delayed the termination of the war at least three months, cost $15,000,000,000, and mauy lives. The words used by Senator Penrose were almost identical with those used by Admiral Sims more than a year later, Mr. Daniels said. "Either Admiral Sims is a plagiarist and appropriated his views and charges from Senator Penrose, or by the new science of mental telepathy the views of the senator were communicated ix Admiral SimsT derjlaTexJ Mr. Daniels. "Penrose comes from Pennsylvania and Sims was appointed to the Naval academy fromthat state. Did they collaborate or exchange mental telegrams?" Might Have Probed Penrose. The committee might have "saved thousands of reams of paper and hundreds of thousands of words," by investigating Penrose's charges, the witness said. Senator Penrose was "imposed upon by some informant almost, as reckless in his figures as Admiral Sims was in his accusations" Daniels continued. "It Is also worthy of note," he said, "that at the very time Penrose was making this speech, Sims was writing to Captain Pratt threatening an investigation of the conduct of the war." Mr. Daniels said he would not answer the Penrose charges at length, WALSH LATEST TO WALLOP PROFITEER (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON', May IS Profiteering was denounced today in the seaate by Senator Walsh, Democrat, of I Massachusetts, who asserted that ex- ! fii.t!nna n rt fi c ore a ro Ttri nri nn 1 1 v because of widespread unrest and that congress has been "culpably inactive," in moving to relieve the situation. Senator Walsh cited many large dividends, including stock dividends, paid ; recently. He said public outcries against the high cost of living were an acute political problem. Republican leadership and majorities in congress, the Massachusetts senator said, are responsible for failure to enact anti-profiteering legislation. The Republicans, he added, cannot shift the responsibility to the president. He Makes Recommendations. All recommendations made by Senator Walsh to check profiteering were: Senatorial investigation of income tax returns to disclose . individual profiteers.

The existing parliamentary system made it possible for Herr Mueller to meet his constituents at Nurnburg on Sunday. DON'T RUSH TO SALES OMAHA, Neb., May 18 Advertisements of five of the larger stores here of 20 and 30 per cent discounts on sales brought no crowded rush during the morning hours yesterday, the first day, and through the afternoon the downtown section had the appearance of a regular sales day.

even though he had just learned of them, because his answer to Admiral Sims covered the matter fully. Wanted British Office. Secretary Daniels said Admiral Sim's "highest and dearest ambition" was blasted when he was refused a commission to accept an appointment as honorary member of the British admiralty. The secretary added that the admiral expressed "deep regret and embarrassment" when the commission was denied because the tender had come from the "king himself." Although the offer was without precedent, Mr. Daniels said it could not be accepted because, it was un-American," and had not been made to representatives of the other allies. He devoted the rest of the day to a resume of the navy department's war construction activities, compromising approximately 1,000 vessels, nearly three times as many as there were in the entire navy when the war started. He paid .higlv tribute to Rear Admiral David W. Taylor, chief constructor, who he said, had no superior in the world.

SPRUNG GIVEN 18 MONTHS; ANDERSON CRITICIZES STATE fBy Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 18. State courts were charged with failure to do their duty by Judge A. B. Anderson in United States District court here today after he had sentenced several persons who pleaded guilty to theft of automobiles and transporting them in interstate traffic. "I have to do this because the state courts won't do their duty," declared Judge Anderson. "For years and years cars have been stolen all over the city and state. When the courts do their duty and sentence the - criminals the governor lets them out. Parole Board Gets Share. "I have to have the petty criminal business because the governor or the parole board or someone lets them out as soon as they are sentenced. That is the plain truth, and it is about time the people of Indiana know about it." Judge Anderson sentenced Otto B Sprong, former finance clfrk in the Richmond postoffice, to 18 months in prison when Sprong pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzling money from the postoffice funds.

Spa Conference

Seven hundred and seventy-two dogs have been properly licensed in Wayne county, according to the annual report made public at the assessor's office Tuesday morning.

U.S. WOMEN TAKING PROMINENT PART IN ENGLISH DRY DRIVE By MARY HENKE LONDON, April 29. Temperance workers from all over the world have iust closed a meeting in London. The meeting was held in London primar-! ily, no doubt, to stimulate the cam-i paign of the "pussyfooters," as prohi-' bitionists are indignantly termed overj here. I But, as far as England is concerned, j the effects seem to have been dubious. The workingman still clings to his beer, and even the churchmen are not so enthusiastic as Yankee optimism has led the workers from the other side to anticipate. Women who campaigned to make America dry did not spare their eloquence here, and if they did not convince their British audiences, at least they won their admiration. Mrs. Mary Harris Armour, of Georgia, known as the "Georgia cyclone" because of her rapidity of speech and whirlwind methods, was one of the leading figures in the convention. The London press ironically referred to her by the nickname of "Matchless Mary" and directed most of their! shrapnel of attack and sarcasm in her direction. America Holds Stage As afr as the convention itself was concerned, America held the stage. Whether for praise or abuse, the delegates from the United States came in lor the lion's share, and speakers who started out to address the entire con-; vention invariably narrowed down to the "friends from America." As far as the British temperance workers are concerned, unstinting admiration is given the republic, and (Continued on Page Seven) GO-OP. COURSES TO BE PUT INTO H. S, DURING FALL TERM According to plans outlined by H. G. McComb, vocational director of Richmond schools, a co-operative industrial course will be offered the male students of high school next term. McComb returned Monday from a two weeks conference with vocational directors from all over the country, where the latest plans and ideas have been given consideration. The co-operative course did not originate with the conference, however, McComb having been working on the project for several months. "The co-operative course has been tried and found successful in several of the leading high schools of the country," said McComb. "The course proves of mutual advantage to students and manufacturers. "Manufacturers chiefly benefit because two bovs are assigned one matory for about two weeks, then return to school. Another boy will take the machine for two weeks and then he will return to school, the first boy returning to the factory. This plan is used for any number of boys and throughout the school term. The boy will then work at the factory during the slimmer. "The course will provide Richmond manufacturers with high grade labor and will serve to cut the labor turnover. This latter trouble has proved of great concern to manufacturers lately." Several Richmond factories are employing high school students after school and on Saturday. It is expected these will readily cooperate. Among the school that have found the course a great success are Woodward high of Cincinnati; York, Pennsylvania, and Fitchburg, Mass.

It would produce too little Tevenue to justify chances of destroy ing the grain trade, he argued.

ARMY PLANS IN DEADLOCK OF CONFERES Volunteer Training of Youths Is Snag Over Which Senate and House Members Cannot Agree.

HOUSE DIVIDES EVENLY (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 18. A deadlock on the army reorganization bill was reached today by the senate and house con feres. Senate provisions to reorganize the force caused the breach, and the question will be brought to the house for a vote. The disagreement, Chairman Wadsworth, of the senate managers said, came despite an offer from the senate side to strike out the senate provision for voluntary military training for youths between IS and 21 years old. Cnder the senate bill, the national guards would become a part of the United States army as federal troops not militia. The house conferes divided evenly ou acceptance ot the plan. Representative Kahn, of California, chairman, and Representative McKenzie, or Illinois. Republican, favored accepting the senate provision, but Representative Anthony, Republican, Kansas, and Represenative Demp, Democrat, Alabama, refused their approval, and the disagreement resulted. Senate Offers Concession Senator Wadsworth said that, in an effort to secure adorn ion of the gen eral plan to federalize the national guards, the senate managers offered a concession that tiie plan be made optional, so that states could or could not have their national guard join the national army as they saw fit. This conception also was refused by the house managers, he said. Representative Kahn will import the disagreement to the house, probably with a motion that the house recede from its position. Senator Wadsworth said he would have little difficulty in reaching an agreement on other points, and expressed confidence that compromise legislation would be completed before the proposed recess of congress. The senates conferees oflered to abandon the senate plan for voluntary military training was believed to forecast final elimination for training prospects, for treatment later in a separate compulsory training bill being drafted by the house military sub-coni-mitee. BANKERS MAY RAISE RATES OF INTEREST Richmond and Wayne county bankers expect to hold a meeting within a short time to decide whether or not the rates of interest shall be raised. The local banks are charging six per cent oikmost loans. In the event that the proposed raise becomes effective the rate on loans will probably be seven per cent and in some cases even, higher. Local bankers declare that their operating expenses are r-iore than double what they were a few years ago, and that in order to meet the increased saiari"s paid employees and other current expenses, a raise to seven per cent will be necessary. The rates charged by local banks is etermined largely by the federal reserve banks. The federal reserve banks formerly loaned money to the local banks at four and one-half and live per cent. The' federal reserve rates to the local banks is now six per cent in most cases. In order to meet the increase in federal reserve .rates an increase to at least seven per cent is almost imperative, bankers say. Th rats in Connersville, Newcastle and other surrounding cities have been seven and in some cases eight per cent for some time. Most of the banks in Richmond charge the same rate on a small loan as on a large one. Thus the proposed increase will affect every person who contracts a loan.
