Oldest Organization. "We aro the members of the oldest Catholic lay organization in America. We are the Indiana branch of the old Central Vcrien. an organization founded by our fathers and grandfathers, 6 4 years ago," Mr. Seyfried declared. "We are an old and respectable society, an organization that has stood the test of time. We have had membership in tho Central league for 50 years in Indiana and our state league has been organized 27 years. Some say we aro a German organization, but that Is Incorrect. Ours is a Catholic organization made up of American men and women of German descent and we are proud of" being Catholics and not at all ashamed of being of German descent. "We and our ancestors, xvho came to America have built churches anu hospitals and schools. We have helped found cities. We have been true to tho Catholic church and wo have kept loyal to our country as xvell. We are the people who gave our children for service in the war xvhen o country called, we bought Liberty bonds and "War Saving stamps and did net sell them again, and we say to the political faker and hypocrite that we intend to preserve our citizenship in America and those who think xve are going to allow ourselves to be considered citizens of the second class are badly mistaken. We want it distintly understood that having at all times fully discharged our duties as American citizens wo will use our rights as such. Political Takers. We don't propose to bury those old men and women who speak the German tongue and can t very xvell express themselves in any other, until they are dead. The effort of political fakers to capitalize the hatred that was created during the war Ü not going to get very far." Pointing to the service flag that hung in the parish hall. Mr. Seyfried s aid that any one xvho doubted the patriotism of Catholic men nnl women of xvhateer faith, to take a look at the service Mags that hang in tho churches and parish schools all over this broad land. Referring to St. Jo5eph's State league again, the speaker sa'.d that its members were not politicians, but they xvere going to exercis their right of c i t i - zcr.ship at the polls Foremost among the great thing the itntral society of which the state l.-airue forms a part, had done in the past was the organization of a commit ee for social reform. 1".

Observing that all of the regulations in Imgland and her possessions were aimed at restricting oil operations to contird of Uritish nationals, the report .iid "this form xvould seem to be justified in the viexvpoint of International law, however impolite it might be as regards reciprocity and international comity." Citing a large number of general ami special consular reports the report said that the British policy appeared to be developing by a process of deterring foreigners from owning or operating oil properties in the British Isles, colonies or protectorates: by direct participation of the government in financing th larger exploiting companies of xvhlch the Anglo-Persian, having a monopoly of the industry in Persia was named, and by governmental orders In council preventing Uritish oil companies or individuals from selling their proferty to foreigners.

Noted Toreador Loses His Life In Bull Fight

By Associated Press: MADRID, May 17. The noted toreador Gallito, whose real name was Jose Lito Gomez, was killed Sunday night at Place de Talavera as he was about to dispatch the tifth bull of the evening. Reports of the occurrence are somewhat confused, but most of them agree that Gallito lost his life when he jumped into tho ring to save another toreador, Sanchez Mejias. xvho was in a dangerous situation xvhile fighting the bull. The animal turned furiously on tho newcomer, caught him in the stomach xvith hLs horns and tossed him. Although tho spectators could see their favorite injured no one had an idea of the gravity of the occurrence xvhen Gallito was taken from the ring to an infirmary, where first-aid xvas given. Doctors xvere immediately telegraphed for from Madrid. They arrived within a fexv hours, but too late. A bullfight to be held in Madrid Monday in connection with King Alfonso's birthday celebration, xvas abandoned because of Gallito's death. The latter, who was only 2.1 years old. had been in the bull ring since he xvas 14. ' Gallito was engaged to be married and his fiancee xvas present xvhen he xvas tossed by the bull. The dead toreador xvas born in Seville and leaves a fortune of eight milIon pesetas earned in the bull ring. Place de Talavera was an unlucky spot for bull fighters, the picador Zurito also meeting death in the same ring from the second bull. The killing of Gallito caused more emotion In Spain than the death of a monarch er a pope. Tho newspapers of Madrid printed the nexvs In spe cial editions today, thereby breaking the rule forbidding publication between Sunday morning and Monday evening. Thousands snatched the special editions from vendors who sold them at high prices. Gallito belongs to a famous family of bull fighters. His father Is a banderillero. while his elder broth er. Itafael Is known in the bull ring as "El Gallo." The family la or pure gypsy strain. INTERURBAN GAR HITS AUTOMOBILE; THREE PEOPLE DIE Mrs. L. Johnson, Mr. and .Mrs. Pearl McClelland the Victims.

GIVES SIMS' MOTIVE FOR NAVY ATTACK

Secretary Daniel Tells Committee Admiral Tried to Prussianize Psavv. Hy Associated Press: WASHINGTON. May 17. Desire "to Prussianize the navy department" was ascribed by Sec'y Daniels Monday as one of Rear Admiral Sims' underlying motives in criticizing the department's conduct of the war. The secretary, testifying before tho senate naval investigating committee, also charged that most of the testimony supporting Admiral Sims' position xvas from officers who wished to remove civilian control of the navy department and make the secretary a "rubber stamp." Pruf-tdan Flan. "The original charge showed hostility to certain ollicera and a desire to damage the ranking officers xvho directed the operations during the war," said Mr. Daniels, speaking of Admiral Sims' critical letter of Jan. 2, and the evidence has disclosed a desire to misrepresent the secretary of the navy because he xvas not a rubber stamp secretary. Uut deeper than egotism and prejudice you will Und a deep seated determination to organize the navy department upon the approved Prussian plan by giving all power to the military and taking all away from the civilian." Mr. Daniels said if the committee desired to raise the general staff issue, he was xvilling to go to the country with it. If congress approx'es the plan, he declared. it should "create a general staff on the German model and name some Von Tirpitz to rule the navy; make an admiral secretary and member of the cabinet and civilians ineligible for the post but "should not put some Sims in control of the navy xvith a nominal civilian secretary as his clerk, messenger and rubber stamp." Camouflage I do: vs. "Most f those who advocate this radical departure seek to camouflage their Prussian ideas.!' the secretary said. "They say they do favor a civilian secretary and have no thought of a lfax-al officer for secretary. What they desire is a civilian rubber stamp secretary xvith no power except to draw his salary and "sign here" when the military chieftains tell him xvhero to affix his name." Mr. Daniels asserted that "all recent secretaries had been confronted xvith a struggle to keep the navy under civilian control and juoted former Sec'y Welles, Long and Meyer and former Asst. SSec'y Darling to shoxv the strenuous efforts they found necessary to put forth to keep authority in he hands of the civilian secretary. Reviews Relations. Mr. Daniels reviewed his relations with Rear Admirals Fiske and Fullam. retired, formerly his aides. Admiral Fiske, he asserted, "in combination with six other subordinate, officers in the department, and a member of congress xvho xvas a former otficer in tho navy." undertook, "surreptitiously and secretly" to impose his ideas as to duties of the chief of naval operations. "Admiral Fiske's surreptitious leg islation had it passed," the secretary added, "would have put an officer of the navy in a position xvhero he xvould have the power and authority of the Prussian chief of staff, von Tirpitz and the kaiser himself, combined in one." Mr. Daniels devoted much of the day to a review of the work of th nax-y supply system in the war and to an extensive resume of the controversy that followed his famous order banishing liquors from the officer's messes.

Telegraphic appeals xvere sent to all state railway and public service commissions, urging them to join hands xvith the government in lifting the burden, xvhilö the commis sion's force of inspectors xvas put to xvork to help get accurate data respecting conditions at critical points.
