U. s. DECLINES TO
INSURE THE DACIA
War Risk Bureaus Decision SuS-
pected as Move to Prevent
Her Sailing.

WAsHrSGToN, Jan lit was disclosed
to-day that the sudden turmoil over the
nacia and the request Of the State De-
nartment that Great Britain permit the
vessel to discharge her cargo at Rotter-
dam instead Of Bremen were due to the
refusal Of the Government war RISK bu-
reau TO Insure the Dacia and her cargo,
This refusal completely upset the plans
OF the owners OF the cotton about TO be
shipped Having Obtained consent of the
Department of Commerce to the admission
OF the Dacia to American registry they
had taken it for granted that consistent
action would be obtained from the GOV
eminent war risk bureau and that insur-
ance would be written as desired.
The Insurance was refused on the
ground that as the British Government
had indicated objections to the Dacia en-
gaglng I'm trade with Germany. her arrest
on the high seas was virtually "a certainty
and she was not therefore good risk.
Members of Congress who heard to-day
OF the refusal of the war risk bureau TO
insure the Dacia's cargo. expressed great
interest, II was said to be the hrst
case in which the bureau has refused
to give insurance TO an American vessel.
Many believed firmly that the Adminstra-
! ton was using the war risk bureau in an
| effort to prevent the sailing of the Dacia
and the raising OF a delicate issue with
Great Britain.
The owners OF the cotton to be shipped
| on the Dacia had. however. entered into
! a contract for the staples delivery in
/ Bremen on the assumption that Insurance
would certainly follow the granting of the
| American flag to the Dacia.
The American shippers OF cotton, there
| fore stand to lose heavily through the
| refusal of the Governments war risk
| bureau--hence the efforts now being made
| through the State Department to get
| a pledge from Great Britain that tina
| Dacia be permitted to make voyage
| to Rotterdam, neutral port, instead oil
Bremen without interference.
The belief here Is that the Government
intends to use II possible the war risk
| bureau to prevent the recurrence OF
this delicate question II England con-
sents 20 allow the Dacia to make this
particular voyage to Rotterdam without
| interference.
1t is apparent. OF course, that refusal
| by the Government war risk bureau to
grant insurance would prevent the sail
| ing OF the Dacla to German port.
II has become known also that the
state Department in the negotiations with
| Great Britain regarding tho Dacla n
seeking 10 secure her exemption from
arrest for this particular voyage only

London Papers Say Point of Law

LONDON, Jan. l5.-rhe Times says In
an editorial on the DaCia incident:

The Daily NclCs says
AS we have not declared a blockade

ought to recognize the transfer OF the

wAsHiNGTuN, Jan. IA bitter at
tack upon President Wilson was made In
tho House to-day BY Representative
James r. Mann Of Illinois. the Repub-
Nran leader.
ReplyIne to that feature Of the Presl-
dents Indianapolis speech In which he
aid that the Federal Trade Commits ion
would operate as tariff board and that
his end had been attained without the
knowledge Of Congress Mr.. Mann charged
that the Preside evidently took pride
In the belief that he "sneaked something
nto law that was not understood by Con-
sTess
in this House" cried Mr. Mann. ~

tor and man. u Is because of this TACT
hat rise to defend the President IN
the accusation which he brought against
himself. regret that the President does
not have that fine sense of legislative
honor which world have prevented him
from makng such a claim for himself ~
Mr.. Mann explained that when Con-
rrcss passed the bill creating the Federal
Trade Commission II had 10 thought that
that body was clothed with authority TO
make Inquiries NUch rs would bc vested
IN a tarit board
Tho Repuhl can leader contended that

dent declared would authorize the Fed

publican member Of the House Committee

He further said that IN framing this
provision Mr. Stevens consulted him and

who acted for the Administration I'm tho
deliberations that were held incident to
the preparation OF the Federal trade COM
mission bill
Mr. Mann made the statement that Mr..
Covington. II called on to do 80. viii
testify that the provision in controversy
was drawn nv a Republican and that this
Hepublican did not himself believe At the
time that authority was conveyed to the
commission to make tariff inquiries.
Turning to the Democrats Mr.. Mann ex-
claimed
"Now what I want to know Is whether
me President having the power which he
thinks ne has obtained by sneak methods

money to make a tarin investigation as TO

Mr.. Mann's speech was wildly chcered
by the Republicans.
Another replv to the Presidents IN
dlanapolls speech was made by Repre-
sentative Humphrey of Washington. Mr..
Humphrey declared that calamity had Wis
tied the land rs the result OF Democratic
policies and that the only consolation tho
people In distress got from President Will

purely psychological.
'Nany people are suffering from empty
stomachs In this country" shouted Mr..
Humphrey but they are told that the
pangs Of hunger are merely "a state Of
