Refused Lies Story

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 20:-Many
stories were told here today of the
tenacity with which Frank James.
once a member Of the Jesse James
outlaw band. who died near Excelsior
Springs yesterday, clung to his deter
mination to live an upright life after
his surrender.
A writer, long friend of James
visited him several years ago to get
information to be used in book.
Il promised the governor of Mis-
souri,, when I surrendered to him,
James said, that never would write
book about myself or permit 1t to be
written"
Though he was said to have beer
offered $4,000, James kept his prom
'se and his knowledge Of the details o
seventeen years of wild life will b
buried with him.

DEMOCRATIC SHIP
OPPONENTSsTRANORS
SENATOR WILLIAMS CHARACTER
izEs THOSE OPPOSING PRES
loENrs MEASURE.

Washington, Feb. 20-That the ap-
parently successful opposition Of the
Republicans in the Senate, aided by
seven Democratic senators, to the ad-
ministration ship purchase bill already
has become a live issue in Mississippi
and that the issue was thoroughly un-
derstood by the people of Mississippi,
was declared yesterday by Senator
John Sharp Williams, who made a
valiant fight with the Democratic ma
jority of his party to enact the legis-
lation.
Seven knives" continued Senator
Williams, "out of our own ranks were
planted under out fifth rib" Speak
ing OF the proposed government ship
purchase bill, Senator Williams said:
THE public will be the best Judge
of this whole situation. There was
an unprecedented emergency in which
the federal government had unlimited
powers to act. Congress gave $5,00O,-
900 to the San Francisco earthquake
sufferers. Congress also gave $1,000,-
| 900 to the sufferers from the great
volcanic eruption in Mantique, people
who were not American citizens
There is no clause in the constitution
prohibiting the government from Civ
| ing away money. The Congress voted
for the 4, Panama ship line operated
through the fiction of a corporation
yet when the government proposes tt
appropriate $30,0O0,000 for the pur
chase of ships to meet an emergen
situation there are legislators to rails
the cry of Socialism after having vol
ed for other measures more radica
When this ship legislation was pre-
posed the 'harpies of the ship trus
especially the coastwise trust, bega
tocry Socialism. The latter trust wa
afraid that If the bill passed 1t woul
, be hurt"
When the ship purchase is reporte
out of conference Feb. 27 the Repu
q licans and their Democratic assis
r ants are expected to renew the flibu

London. Feb. 20.-Although NO r.
ports have reached London Of sub
marine activity during the last forty
eight hours after the war gone decree
became effective, there are Increasing
signs that Germany is bending every
effort to make good her threats
against British shipping.
Zeppelin airships suddenly have be-
come active in the North Sea. Two Of
these air vessels have been lost. but
a fleet of them is reported to be con-
tinuing to patrol. Emperor William and
Admiral Won Tirpitz have gone to VIII
helmshaven, where it is said they hope
to give impetus to the machinery de-
signed to clear the waters surround
ing the United Kingdom Of all mer-
chant shipping.
The Zeppelin airships presumably
are watching for food-laden craft NOV
ing toward England. The halting of
the Dutch steamer Helena by zeppe'
lin gives a new role to dirigible air
craft.
