GLASS QUOTED WRONG, DECLARES SIMS IN LETTER TO MARINES (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. Declaring that Senator Carter Glass, Virginia, was mistaken in quoting him a s eaying in a conversation in Londavi that the United States ought not to undertake the development of a me rchant marine of its own. Rear Admiral William S. Sins, in a letter to the National Merchant Marine associ ation made public here today ( explai ned that what ie did say was "that

with the present restriction of cur

present shipping laws It would ne v;ry

difficult for our country to develop a

merchant marine commensurate with our needs."

The statement was in reply to a' letter asking if the admiral had Ueen

correctly quoted by the Virginia senator in a recent speech in the senate. In his senate speech Senator GLass was quoted as saying: Relied on Great Britain.

"When I was abroad in 1918 Admiral Sims, much to my amazement, told

me in London that he did not tlhink that the United States ought to ujudertake the development of a merchant marine of its own. He thought; that the field of activity should be left to Great Britain, saying that the British were our kinsmen, bone of our bone and blood of our blood, and might be relied on to come to our defense in case of war; that they were natural seamen and we knew nothing about it. Besides, he added, it would reqtiire a great subsidy to conduct a merchant marine, and the American psople were inherently opposed to subsidies."

in ms reply to tne marine association. Admiral Sims wrote: "I am not surprised that Senator Glass was much amazed if he understood me to state in London thait the United States ought not to undertake the development of a merchant marine of its own. Navy Must Have Marine

"Just how far this is what T ever have or could have thought of the merchant marine, you may judgp from the fact that the navy of theUnited States would be of very little? value as a defense of the United Stales and our possessions if it were not :for the merchant marine. "In the absence of a merchajrt marine to furnish the transport :fbr the immense amount of supplies that a fleet would need, that fleet would be restricted in its operations to a comparatively short distance frcan its nearest base. "If our fleet had to be sent to make tin attack at a long distance across the ocean, it would require something like 30,000 tons of supplies a day, including fuel and all other supplies. , Thi3 is one of the essential elements that enter into the consideration of what we call the logistics of a military operation and is one of the subjects which receives the closesst study of those who are charged with the preparation of naval plans. "As I remember my conversation with Senator Glass, it was to the ef

fect that, with the restriction of our

present shipping laws, it would be difficult for our country to develop a merchant marine commensurate with our needs."

Mrs. Edmond Wegener, her husband, and their daughter, Mrs. Bess Willoughby.

- (By" Associated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19. Federal indictment under the prohibition laws in connection with the ' party staged at the Hotel St- Francis here by Roscoe C. (Fatty) Arbuckle, will not be asked tonight as intended, Robert H. McCormack, Epecial .assistant to the United States attorney general, announced today. McCormack said he had decided upon delay because he expected "startling new developments." McCormack is conducting an ex

haustive investigation into the source

of the liquor supply alleged to have

been consumed at the Arbuckle party,

the outcome of which has resulted in

charges of murder against Arbuckle

film actress. Widespread System Used

Belief that his investigations will

unearth a system of liquor smuggling from Mexico to Los Angeles and San Francisco was expressed by McCormack. Examination of persons at Los Angeles who may be able to divulge information concerning the liquor party is being continued, he said. Mrs. Roscoe C. (Fatty) Arbuckle (Minta Durfee) arrived in San Francisco early today from New York to assist in the defense of her husband against murder charges preferred against him for the death of Miss Virginia Rappe, film actress. Miss Rappe is declared to have died following injuries incurred at a party staged in Arbuckle's suite at the Hotel St. Francis here early in September.

In addition to the above demands, the association believes self-defense armaments should be reduisd to the minimum. The organization also urges

(By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 19 Officials of the United Mine Workers of America were busy today completing arrangements for the biennial convention of their organization which opens here Tuesday, and which, they believe, will be the most momentous in the history of the union.

Topics to be brought before tne convention include a variety of subjects and some of them will have an important bearing upon the industrial welfare of the country. Among the important matters to be discussed are Wage demands that will be present

ed to both the anthracite and bituminous coal operators before the expiration of the present wage agreements, March 31, 1922. Conduct of the strike in the West Virginia fields. Nationalization of the mines. Employment of foreign labor at different mines. May Hold Long Session. Numerous other subjects will be brought up during the convention, and it is probable that it may continue in session three weeks. The formulation of wage demands is expected to be the subject of greatest discussion. John L. Lewis, international president, has reiterated his opposition to any reduction in the wage scale. The situation will be unique, in that the wage agreements of the anthra

cite and bituminous miners expire simultaneously next March. In past years these agreements have terminated on different dates and it has i : : v. , : j

ut r ii iiiiyus&iuie iu wuMuer . ndgt

scales for both groups at the conventions. The West Virginia mine war doubtless will be discussed at length, officials say, as also will difficulties m other fields. Reports will be received from officials who have been in

charge of the West Virginia strike. Unemployment Question Up Many subjects will be brought up on the floor of the convention in the form of resolutions. The problem of unemployment is expected to be presented and some action may be taken to express the sentiment of the miners in regard to the labor situation.

Delegates will be in attendance from

all of the local unions of the United

States and Canada.

Brief Description of the STANLEBILT California Top

The growing demand for a light weight sedan type motor car has prompted us to perfect and place on the market a California Top for practically all makes of motor cars. These tops are standard construction and are thoroughly superintended by some of the best mechanics in the country. When properly attached they become a part of the car, and while they can be detached it is not the intention to ever remove them. The hard wood used in the cross bows and in the frame is glued, screwed and mitred, making it next to impossible to squeak or rattle. The deck is covered with sheeting, padded and finally covered with Dupont Fabricoid guaranteed to last as long as the machine and not to leak or fade. In colors, Green, Red, Black, Browa and Blue. Unlike sedan construction we make the doors with flexible edge that they cannot rattle. Each door is supported at the top with a hinge and is fastened in place with two cap screws, making it removable in three minutes. They are fitted with ventilating glass; the upper outside glass sliding up and down. Throughout a fine polished plate, beveled edge glass is used with exception of door glass. A neat dome light in ihe center of ceiling. Considering the interior as the part most seen by the owner, we have gone to considerable trouble to perfect, this, using the highest quality covering in brown and gray. Seat covers to match for very little extra. Ask us to send to you an actual photograph of a top installed on a car like yours. We will be glad' to give you more detailed Information and make you a very low price, considering quality and workmanship. We furnish Sun-Visor and Jiffy storm curtains no extra charge. Built for Buick, Cadillac, Davis, Pilot, Hupmobile, Chandler, Nash, Studebaker, Reo, Hudson, Essex, Stephens, Chalmers, Oakland, Apperson, Franklin, Dodge.
