He advised against this course, however. While Payhe was making statement, the White House gave out President Wilson, defending the pro- posed sale set gor next Monday and characterizing the attack on the sale as “vicious but characteristic.” the Shipping Board not to eel! the thirty former German Liners, which the Boar! plans to dispose of at pub- Ne auction here Monday, except through regular public’ bidding after three months’ advertising and then! only #f proper offers are recetved, was Democrat, of Arizona. Senator Jones, Washington, object- ed to consideration of+the resolution until it had been passed on in the Commerce Committee. The resolution was offered during a debate on the sale of the ships. Sen- ator Ashurst declared it was a fact that the Shipping Board and the Dmergency Fleet Corporation intend to sell the vessels to the International Mercantile Marine for $28,000,009, te said. the vessels had a pre-war value of $154,000,000 and a present Value of $300,000,000. Application for an injuncion against thg Shipping Board and the Emergency Fleet Corporation to pre- yent the sale of the linere at public ‘Buction next Monday was filed in tho District of Columbia Supreme Court to-day by William Randotph Hearst ot New York, acting as a taxpayer. Chiet Justice McCoy issued a rule requiring the defendants to show cause Monday morning why a tem- porary injunction should not be ie, sued. During the Senate debate Senator Ransdell, Democrat, Louisiana, told | the Senate it was-"ridiculous to thin! , the Shipping Board would sell the! fleet at the price quoted,” and Senator King, Democrat, Utah, an- nounced that he had talked with Chairman Payne on the telephone and that ‘Mr, Payne bad told him that the “charge is an absolute falsehood and that no secret agreement ‘had been arranged.” ‘ Senator Jones said Chairman Payne was to appear before the Com- merce Committee this afternoon at request to explain the reasons which prompted the Board to Offer the ships for sale. Asked by Senator Borah, Repub- lican, Idaho, whether he had inquired specifically about the reported under- Standing with the International Moer- cantlle Marine, Jones replied: “I did not, but I do not bekjeve there is any truth in the report. @he Administra- ton officials are not of my party, but I believ ey are honest men and pa- triotic citizens, I have been told that from surveys made the Board believes it will cost from $50,000,000 to $60,000,~ to put these ships in proper condition.” In introducing the resolution, $ena- tor Ashurst said he did not intend it 4s @ reflection on the Shipping Hoard. He said, however, he wanted to pro- test against the gale of the ships, as they ‘were @ necessary adjunct of the avy. Senator McKellar, Democrat, Ten- nessee, urged that Government-built ships as well as the vessels would be held from sale. He deolared none of the Government's ships should be disposed of without legisia~ tion by Congress. “If the does not act said Senator Simmons, “the open od be will have wold the while we sit here nactive.? Senator Smoot, Republican, Utah, interrupted to ask how England could offer $125 a ton for the vessels and still be unable to pay the interest on + fom, the United States. Senator Ashi replied that it England “could get hold of this fleet it would earn here enough not only to pay’ the interest, but soon to pay the principal.” Following word that Payne intend- ed to proceed with sale of the ships Monday, Senator Jones announced that if necessary he would withdraw his objection to the Asburst resolu- tion after Payne had appeared before the Commerce Committee, eer le al OFFICIAL STORY OF KOLCHAK KILLING LONDON, Fel, 1#.—News of the execution of Admiral Kolchak, for- mer jpead of the All-Russian Govern- » has been officially confirmed, Kolchak, and one of his Ministers, M, Pepelayey, were shot at Irkutek at § o'clock on the morning of Decision on the “emeoution © reached by the Revolutionary Iittes at Irkutsk at 2 o'clock in the morning, as the committee had re: ports that efforts to rescue the pair might be expected. not yet been explaine the.

President, in consultation with Di- rector Hines, had a memorandum ready for the spokeamen of the brotherhoods. As a matter of fact, the whole railroad controversy has the appear- ance of stage-play, Within a fort- night the railroads are to go back to private control. The railroad em- ployees fear reduction in wages, or $2,000 ASKED TO CLEAN STREETS: (Continued From First Page.) they have made since the last storm and made advances toward resump- tion of. normal service. The Third Avenue Railway Com- pany and the Second Avenue Railway Company both reported additional sections of their lines freed of the storm grip. At the offices of the New York Railways Company 't was sald at least no further advances in wages, They have succeeded in per- suading the conferees of the Sen- ate and House to omit the anti- strike provisions of railroad legisia- tion and provide for voluntary settle- ment of future dispytes. But they fail to see why Congress should be providing a high guarantee of divi- dends to the owners of railroad stocks and at the same time no in- creaseg in wages to them. WORKERS GET MORE RETURN | THAN SHARE OWNERS. ‘The unsoundness of their Claim is, however, explained by officials of the railroad administration who say the owners of securities will be getting relatively less for the money they get on dividends than are the railroad | brotherhoods out of thelr wages. There is, indeed, a good deal of restlessness among the shop jaborers and classes of workmen engaged in maintenance of ways, and a strike among them is still possible, though that would not necessarily tie up all the railroads. But the threat to strike and the dis- cussion at this time between the Rail- road Brotherhoods and Director-Gen- eral Hines, coupled with the visit to the White House, is part of a carefully planned demonstration that thé Rail- road Brotherhoods, under private con- trol, nu’ going to be denied the ad- vantages they have enjoyed under Gov- ernment operation. It must not be for- gotten that President Wilson can ¢x- ercise the veto power over railroad legislation now pending and that the Democrats have already shown a dis- position to fight certain features of the pill, as agreed to by the conferees of Senate and House. WILSON UNABLE TO PROM INCREASE IN WAGES NOW. ‘The railroad brotherhoods said they had been missing the President. Quite true.

Henry J, Allen of Kansas, addressing the Chi- cago Bar Association, said he believed “the thing done in Kan- as could be done in the Nation at large.” “The Kansas Court,” sald the Governor, “is founded upon the principle that government should have the same power to protect society against the ruthless of- fenses of an industrial strife that it always had to protect against recognized crime,” The legislation tribunal, he said, should “make strikes, lockouts, boycetts and black-lists unnecessary and im- Dassible.” jtablishing the jMcKeighan, former Mayor of Flint, |ing in the State Supreme Court, lor St. Committee, told a boyhood friend early in the 1918 primary campaign that “they have tapped the barrel” and were spending money ike drunk- en #ailors, according “to testimony given today by Frank B.
