New York, Oct. 31.—Upon his con- fession of revealing to Truman H. Newberry, U. S. N. R, tke result of a secret ballog of the grand jury which is investigating expenditures in the Newberry republican primary _cam- paign in Michigan, Abner T. Bowen, a member of the jury, was excused from the panel today. Fowen told Licutenant Commander Newberry that the grand jury had deciined to in dict him on @ charge of violating the federal corrupt practices act. Bowen was arraigned on a present- ment based on a statement in a New York newspaper teiling of disclosures made to Commander Newberry by a member of the grand jury, and on an admission by Bowen before the jury that it was he who had madc the dis- closures. The court deferred action on the presentment until next Thurs- day. According to the newspaper, Bowen called at the office of the command- ant of the Third Naval District, where Mr. Newberry, former secretary of the navy, is assistant to Resr Admiral Usher, introduced himself as a mem- ber of the grand jury and =aid that the jury had refused to indici the com- mander. Despite refusal of the grand jury to take action on the government's com- plaint regarding expenditures of the Newberry committee, as reported by Sowen. the inquiry has not been fin- ished. Through a court crder extend- ing the session of the jury until No- vember 1S, icderal attornevs hope to be able to present further evidence in the case, providing the supreme court sustains District Judge Cush- man in his order that thre: members of the campaign commitieo who re- fused be compelled to testify. The inquiry was brought by the de- partment of justice when a sworn statement of the Newberry primary committee shows expenses of $175,000. Mr Newberry, in this city, filed a statement declaring that he had spent nothing, nor authorized expenditures by others. The Michigan law, which prevails under the terms of the fed- eral statutes, limits expenditures of a United States senatortal candidate to 3,750, B. R. T. EMPLOYES TO GO ON STRIKE THIS MORNING New York, Oct. 31.—The Brookiyn Rapid Transit Company announced at 1150 o'clock tonight. that it would re- fuse the demands of union motormen and conductors on its subway and ele- vated lines for the reinstatement of twenty-nine discharged members in compliance with an order or the Na- tiona] War Labor Boggd.

The food ad- ministration also announced that while the new rules prohibit the use of toast as garniture, it may he served under poached czgs. chipped heef and witn other dishes in which it is customary to use it. | DUAL MONARCHY FACED WITH INTERNAL ANARCHY Londen, Oct. 31, 6 p. m.—Conditions in the interior of Austria-Hungary virtually preclude a continuance of fighting, according to mews reaching London this evening. The railways necessary for the maintenance of the military forces of the dual monarchy have become utterly disorganized. All communication between Agram, Fiume, Budapest and Vienna has been interrupted and the railway communi- cations between Berlin and Vienna have been cut. The monarchy is faced with complete internal anarchy. OUTBREAK AND PANIC IN THE RHINE PROVINCES Amsterdam, Oct. 31.—There has been an outbreak and a panic among the population in the Rhine provinces, arising from reports that the author- ities were prepared, if necessary. to al- low enemy troops to occupy Coblenz and Cologne, according to the Berlin Tazelische Rundschau contentfltllkesults Have Not Finished Their Work—Will Soon Be Able to Make Announcements. Paris, Oct. 31.—(By The A. P.) The representatives of the Entente powers left Versailles after their first formal meeting today, visibly content with the results that had been achieved. They have not finished their work, but they have reached a substantial ac- cord. Their task is moving, and they have had the satisfaction of seelng that they soon will be able to make announcements. The Turkish armistice terms were chiefly the work of the British and French. In them the United States had no part. The decision in this in- stance is regarded as one of great Im- portance. An informal conference took place at the home of' Colonel E. M. House, President Wilson's' personal represen- tative, in the forenjon prior to the assembling at Bersailles. Among oth- ers present were M. Clemenceau and M. Pichon, respectively the IFrench premier and foreisn minister; Signor Orlando and Baron Connino, the Ital- ian premier and foreign minister, ani David Lloyd George, the Pritish prime minister. This gatherinz was prepara- tory to the formal meeting. n addition to the French, varan and British representatives, Dr. M. R. Vesnitch, the Serbian minister to France, and Eliphtherios Venizelos, the Greek premier, attended. The Ameri- cans present, in addition te Colonel House, were Arthur H. Frazer, secre- tary of the American embassy; Joseph C Grew and Gordon Auchincloss, who acted as secretarics for _ Colonel House; General Tasker H. Bliss, the representative of the United States in the war council, with Generai Lock- ridge and Colonel Wallace as secre- taries, and Admiral Benson, with Com- mander Carter and Lieutenant Com- mander Russell as his secretartes. The last to arrive at the conference was Marshal Foch. He was alone, without aid or orderly. At Versailles the businass was over in a couple of hours and a long line of automobiles with the representatives of the powers returned to Paris. The reason for the trip to Versailles to- day was that it is the headquarters of thé supreme war council, which theo- retically takes no decision except at Versailles. There will be another informal meet- ing at the residence of Colonel House tomorrow morning and the business of the council will be hed forward rapidly, either at formal or informal mieetings, until it'is concluded. The spirit of all the representatives appears to be favorable to the ironing out of all obstacles rather than to raising them. AUSTRIAN DEPUTATION IN CONFERENCE WITH ITALIANS Vienna, via London, Oct. 31.—An Austrian’ deputation has heen permit- ted to cross the fighting line for pre- liminary pourparlers with the Italian commander,. according to the official announcement tonight. ‘The statement says: "~ “The high command of the armies early Tuesday by means of a parle- mentaire established, communication with the Italian army command. Ev ery effort is to, be made for the avoid- ance of further useless sacrifice of blood, for the cessation of hostilities and the conclusion of an armistice. “Towards this step, which was ani- matgd by the best intentions, the Ital- ian high command at first assumed an attitude of unmistakable refusal, and it was only on the evening of Wed- nesday that, in accord with the Italian | high command, Genéral Weber, accom- panied by a deputation. was permitted to cross the fighting line for prelim- inary pourparlers.

Hughes and Attorney General Gregory Discloses Defective Organization and Lack of Competent Direction—Recommends Pro- With Corporations in Which They Were Interested— - Civilians. Exonerated of With Management Since Charge. Washington, Oct. 31.—The long- awaited report on the aircraft investi- gation, conducted during the last five months by Charles E. Hughes and At- torney Generai Gregory, was placed before President Wilson by the attor- ney general and immediately made ublic. Delays and wastes of the production program, the report declares, were due “ chiefly to “the defective organization of the work of aircraft production and the serious lack of competent direction of that work by the responsible offi- cers,of the signal corps.” N6 fault is found with the manage- ment of aircraft affairs since the re- organization of last May, which placed John D. Rvan in charge, The civilian personnel of the aircraft production board is exonerated Of any wrong- doing. Atforney General Gregory in a letter transmitting the report to President Wilson says he is “in_substantial ac- cor with the findings by Mr. Hughes. The report finds no “graft” in the generally accepted sense but makes recommendations for proceedings against army officers held guilty of dealing with corporations in which they were interested. The chief waste from the original appropriation of $691,851,866, the re- port says, was in the abandonment of two types of airplanes—one of ‘them the Bristol—and a failure to salvage, agsregating about $24,000,000. The figures show that last May, of that great appropriation, $134,000,000 actu- ally had been disbursed and that up to Oct. 1st the expenditures had reached about $140,000,000 for all avia- | tion purposes. This did not include expenditures of the sales department which buys material and resells it to manufacturers and for advances for building plants. Contracts let, how- ever, committed about $470,000,000 of the fund. The figures are given in answer to the general charge that the um had all been expended with prac- ically ‘no results. The attorney general concludes in his letter of transmittal that “no such profits have been allowed as to justify a charge of bad faith.” Colonel . Deeds, the storm cen- ter about whom raged most of the charges which brought on the investi- gation, the report recommends, should be brought before a courtmartial fer sending confidential - war department nformatic.. on the aireraft sijuation to former business associates in Day- ton, O. and for being sponsor last February for a “grossly misleading statement” to the effect that “the first American-built battle planes tod: en route to the front in France’” Criminal prosecutions of three army officers are recommended on the ground that they transacted business with corporations in which they were financially interested. These officers are Lieutenant Colonel J. C. Vincent, former vice president of the Packard Motor Car company, now in charge of the airplanc -engineering division of the aircraft production bureau: Lieu- Colonel George W. Mixter, a stockholder in the Curtiss Airplane and Motor corporation, production manager of the aircraft bureau, and Second Lieutenant Samuel B. Vrooman, Jr., inspector of propeller lumber and stockholder in the S. B. Vrooman com- pany of Philadelphia, ‘'which sold ma- hogany to the government for air- planes. Mr. Hughes concluded his report with the statement that “i is not within the province of this report to make recommendations with respect to administrative policy. but it would be said that under the direction or Mr. Ryan and Mr. Potter there has been improvement in organization and progress has beep made in gratifying measure. liam C. Potter, to whom Mr. Hughes referred, is assistant director of aircraft production The general conciusions and recom- mendations by Mr. Hughes follow: “The evidence discloses conduct which, although of a reprehensible character, cannot be regarded as af- fording a sufficient basis for charges under existing statutes, but there are certain acts shown, not only high! improper in themselves, but of espe- cial significance, which should lead to disciplinary measures. The evidence with respect to Colonel Edward Deeds should be presented to the se retary of war to the end that Colonel Deeds may be tried by courtmartial under articles 95 and 96 of the articles of war for his conduct (1) in actipg as confidential adviser of his former business _associate, H. E. Talbott, of the Dayton Wright Airplane company, and in conveying information to Mr. Taibott in an improper manner, with respect to the transaction of business between that company and the division of the signal corps of which Colonel Deeds was the head; and (2) in giving to the representatives of the commit tee on public information a false and misleading atement with r pect to the progress of aireraft production for the purpose of publication with the authority of the secretary of war. “The absence of proper appreciation he obvious improprietr of trans- tions by government officers and zents with firms or corporations in ich they are interested compels the on that public policy demands that the statutory provisions bearirg upon this conduct should be strictly enforced it is therefore recnmmflm‘led' that the officers found to have had transactions on hehalf of the govern- ment with corporations in the pecu- niary profits of which they had an in- terest should be prosecuted under sec- tion 41 of the criminal code. of w “An exbaustive examinntion.” says Attornev General Gregory's letter of transmittal, “into the entire conduct of aircraft matters. fails to show that ny member of either huard has had nv desire to retard or delay produc- tion. or has done anything fo accom- nlish ihat result. or has intentionally coused the waste of funis. or been 1 b a disloyal mative, or been shonesty or malversation, ruth in the spseific charges which will now be referred to. el Deeds > officers charged 'with dealing vith concerns in which they were in- sted.) ree with the conclusion reach- ed by Judze Hughes that there is no evidence upon which it fairly can be *harged that any member of the air- craft boards, including Mr. Howard Coffin, General Squire, Colonel E. A.' All Wrong-Doing—No Fault John D. Ryan Has Been Deeds, Colonel R. L. Montgomery, Col- onel §. D, Waldron, Mr. Richard F. Howe, Mr. Harry B. Thayer, Admiral Taylor and other naval officers, has been unlawfully interested in any con- tract or transaction relating to air- craft production. Indeed, to this charge, there has, at no time, been ground for a question involving any of these centlemen, except Colonel Deeds.” Of the $691,000,000 originally appro- priated for aircraft proguction, dis- busements ported down to June 30, 1918, including advances for building of plants, aad outlays of the sales de- partment, similar expenses, amounted to $430,000,000, and $276,000.000 of the appropriation remained unexpended at the end of the year. Gf the $155.- 000,000 spent for airplanes and engines, $25,000,000 was for overscas manu- facture, $21,000,000 in advances to con- tractors, and $1,697,00 for experimental and development work. This left only $106,000,000 spent for acwial produe- tion in the Tnited States. Of the latter ameunt $57,000,000 was paid under fixed price contracts and $49,000,000 under cost-pius contracts. Official estimates place at $24,000,000 , the loss to the government on account of the condemnation of two tpyes of planes. the Bristol fighting machine and the S. J.-1 traininz plape, in- cluding about $6.500,000 on the Bristol and $17,500,000 on the S. J -1. Taking up the question of faulty or- ganizaticn of the signal corps soon aftfr the declaration of war, Mr. Hughes declared Major General Gecrge O. Squirer “had neither train- ing nor experience for such 2 large in- dustrial esterprise.” - 'he Federal Trade Commission should be requested to report upon the proper cost of mahogany for airplane propellers to the end that upon the coming in of its report the question of the propricty of further action with respect to the aransactions of the ma- hogany manufacturers and importers associated may be deteymined. “It recommended that the represen- tatives of tho deparemtr of justice should keep in touch with ike progress of the re-andit of accounts so that it may be advised of the cemplete en- forcement of the rights of the govern- ment in final settlement of accounts, and that the zovernment has been ful- 1y protected against unnecessary loss through waste and the ahsence of suitable factory supervision. . “Pefmit me also to suggest that a special division. or sub-division of the present bureau of investigation, in the department of justice, should be assigned to {he consideration of ‘sug- gested delinquencies in connection with aircraft production so that the work " alread;; done may be sppropr ately followed up. In particular it is recommended that the sctivities In relation to spruce production which being largely centered ou the Pacific coast. it was unpracticable to embrare in_the present inquiry, shoull be fully scrutinized.” One of the most regrettable incidents of the delay in production, says the report, is that on account of the scar- city of training planes, hundreds of cadets were held at concentration camps abroad for several months “without suitable training.” FORMER BOER CAPTAIN GUILTY OF FRAUD New York.
