WASHINGTON, May 13 “imporaat| 1920).—@omething more important | than the mere refutation of Admital Bime's charges that the American Navy did not do its proper share in the early etages of the war, some- thing mote than a controversy over war honors, is behind the revelations being made by Secretgry Daniels with the consent of President Wilson. The administration has long Smarted under the criticism that it id that it hesitated to make big sacrifices either on land or stain the haope that a “peaco by . | R@gotiation” might shorten the war. Even as the President was ¢ 'deavoring to answer the final plea the Germans for an armistice, he w: being criticised by political orators on the ground that he wanted to make soft peave.” It will be remembered that “unconditional surrender clubs” were organized to offset this supposed weakness of the President. DRIFT OF WILBON’S FIGHTING TALK KNOWN AT CAPITOL, Throughout it all Mr. Wilson has maintained secrecy. Many people in the capital kmew, for instance, that he made the fighting speech aboard the battleship Pennsylvania before the assembled officers of the Atlantic fleet. The White House was implored by newspapermen to permit the pub- Noation of that Address. It wis con- tended that it would do a great deal toward enthusing the American peo- ple--but the President refused. It was evident, however, that. the freedom with which he had criticised the British navy was:the fundamental reason. It waw feared that publica. | tion of those remarks might mean dis- gension among the Allied people and might give comfort to the enemy. But there are dozens of documents just Mke the one Secretary Daniels has just made public which throw Nght on how America conducted. the war. Congréss has seen fit to probe expenditures and give an Impression that the Government was extrava- gant and wasteful. - Tho Administration has made No answer. But as the political campaign approaches there will be many answers. Charg at money was wastefully spent will be refuted by lifting the veil on the entire management of the 8 und, for in- stance, that the Allies were in much more desperate straits than nerally knew. The Serious #ituetion of the Allies brs! yg @ood many hasty actions on Part, of the American Gov- ernment, which never would have been sanctioned in moments of calm deliberation. The controversy between the Amer- ican and British Navies continued for many months. .The Sims episode is only one of 4 Dumber.

NO BIG SUGAR CUT UNTIL SPECULATION ENDS SAYS RILEY Hope to Eliminate ‘‘Specs” from Market Within a Month. “I hope to eliminate speculators from the sugar markets within a month,” said Armin W. Riley, chief of the Department of Justice “‘Mying squadrons,” when asked to-day for details regarding his campaign to lower the cost of sugar, Riley said the refinefs were co- Operating with him by refusing to sell to sandy and soft drink manufactur- ers, whose willingness to pay cash bonuses has been one of the chief factors in driving prices upward. Some of the big refiners, among them Arbuckle Bros, it 1s satd, are refusing to sell to speculators, sell- ing direct to legitimate brokers at @ reasonable profit. In this connection {t may be noted that if refiners re- fuse the speculators will be forced to sell their raw sugar direct. Speculators say they contro! the sugar in Cuba and demand the right to a'large profit. “This howl of ‘We won't import It and qwe'll starve the country’ doesn't worry me in the least,” said Riley. “I¢ the sugar speculators quit im- porting, the refjners will have a chanee to buy sugar at reasonable prices from the Cuban growers, When | the speculators jumped in and boyght | up the crops they found prices up to where the refiners refused to buy,” Riley added he has accumulated enough evidence against speculators “to keep the Grand Jury busy for some time td come.” He will go to Boston and Phijadelphia next week to start after speculators in those cities and will revoke the licenses of deal- ers, against ‘whom profiteering is proved, fojlowing this with pronecu- tions under the Bever Act. Riley declared ‘that it will be im- possible substantially to lower the retail price of sugar until the specu- lytors are-wiped out, Retail prices varied from 24 t o 25 centy to-day, Refiners’ quotations, @. o. b, New York, were from 19 1-8 to 28 cents 4 pound. To this must be added the broker's profit of 1-4 of a cent, the wholesaler’s margin of 1 cent, and about half a cent for cartage Americans. Allies never can har- monize in war time, The selection of a generalissimo and the establish- ment of unity of command on land as well as" water developed because of this friction. But little has been sald about the land operations of the United States. ‘There is much to be made publ: as interesting as the message Passed between the American and the Britiah Navies.

When the warrant was received by the Crimmins Contracting Company it ‘was immediately returned to the Fi- nance Department. This was the spontaneous and voluntary action of the Crimmins Contracting Company and not the result of any request al- leged to have been made by Berolz- heimer. There was unquestionably a serious error in the preparation of ‘this warrant, “The responsibility for the initia! error rests upon two employees in the Bureau of Audit. Although the Comptroller is responsible under his bond for the acta of such subordi- nates, he has no choice in their selec- tion, as he must take such employees ag are certified by the Mayor's Civi) Service Commission.” “After the warrant was returned It was cancellef@in the Bureau of Audit and a new Warrant made out, which celled warrant exhibited therewith. Both warrants have since come to the Bureau of Audit from the Chamber- lain, When the cancelled warrant left the finance department it was in good condition, “A determined effort has been made to oblitomm'e and destroy the evidence of the’ action on this warrant in the omc-é of the Mayor and the Chamber- lain. Acid has been used In an attempt to remove the counter signatare for the Mayor, but this crude effort failed because of the, safety paper upon which the warrant was printed. “Mutilation was then resorted to and no less than thirty holes punched in the warrant in an attempt to cut out that portion bearing the counter sig: nature for the Mayor. An attempt has been made to obliterate the signature sy efforts were made the warrant had already been cancelled by € omptroller Hahlo, who stamped across the entire face of it in the regular and lawful way ‘Cancelled,’ and signed his name to the cancellation. The resort to acid and mutilation was, therefore, not for purposes of cancellation but to destroy evidence of official action in the office of the Mayor and the Cham- berlain. “This is not the first time that city warrants have been altered in Berolz- heimer's office. Some time ago, in directing Berolzheimer’s attention to the illegality of such conduct, 1 stated: ‘If it if necessary for me to take any steps to protect the public interest in these matters, I shall do 80 without any hesitation, The re- sponsibility for any such action will rest upon you,’ ‘Section No, 1838 of the Penal Law makes it a felony for any ministerial officer er any of his deputies or sub- ordinates to mutilate, erase, obliterate or falsify any record or paper per- taining to his office, “Under such ciroumstances I hate no alternative save to send the papers to the District Attorney, which | have “Every employee over whom | have the power of removal, who was re- sponsible for mistakes in the Crim- warrant, will be removed.

Conion stated that he had had no evi- dences of dishonesty In the conduct of the stipbiulding plant prior to the time he became receiver. When he took oharge he «aid all property ap- peared to be on hand with the excep- tion of a tug which was never found: This was valued at $5,000, he said, and might have been sunk. Conlon: declared that in his opinion the Government is not in danger of losing any money on the Groton plant ag its mortgage of $1,800,000 is amply protected by the plant, which he values at $3,500,000. . Questioned by Representative Keliy, the witness said that when he became receiver he “weeded out” a number of Morse officials, thereby saving the Government $88,000 yearly in salaries. These officials, he said, Included E. A, Morse, President, salary $19,000 a year; B. W. Morse, Vice President. $12,560; H. F, Morse, Treasurer, $16,- 000, and C. W. Morse, Chairman of the Board of Directors, $18,000. Conlon described the conditions at the plant as very bad, but added that he believes it will make money in view of the growing demand for shipping. William C. White, former Comp- troMer for the Iron Works, testified that in his experience as an expert ac- countant he had never found anything “so rotten” as the pay rolls of the Gro- ton plant. straighten them out, he added. In go- ing over them, he continued, he found 5,000 separate errors, all of which were due to incompetent bookkeeping. White brought out in his testimony that between $400,000 amd $500,000 went into construction of plant in- stead of construction of ehips at the time when the country and its allies were in urgent need of shipping. He ewplained that the condition of the plant, which had just dbtained a con- tract for $16,000,000 worth of ships from the Government,’ made the ex- penditure of this sum necessary. ee DIES OF SLEEPING SICKNESS.

Stuart Rapp, one of the tenants in her apartment house at No. 170 New York Avenue, Brooklyn. The chatge ‘was that whe failed to supply heat and ‘hot water in sufficient quantities be- tween April 15 and May 4. After Mr. Rapp had testified, saying that he paid $75 a month for five rooms and bath and that he had suf- fered from cold and lack of hot water at intervals for three years, the Superintendent of the building, John Braun, was called to the witness stand. “I turned off the heat on April 18,” he sald, ‘begause there was no mor: coal. I burned some rubbish, but it did not provide enough heat. On the previous Friday I had told Mrs. Coler that we would be out of coal by Saturday and that if she didn’t order some more there would be no heat on Sunday. She replied that she ‘would not get any more coal, and so 1 had to close the heaters. It takes about a ton of coal a day to heat the butlding in cold weather.” Braun gaid that on April 26 a wagon came with two tons of coal and that he cated wp the dumb waiter shaft to Mrs. Colér, who occupies an apart- ment in the building, and asked her what to do with it. “Who ordered it?” he said she de- manded, and he said he did not know.
