HOUSE COMMITTEE PROPOSES TO
PUT CURB ON SECRETARY
OF NAVY.
CONTEMPLATE BOARD
OF STRATEGY OF FIFTEEN
Of Admiral Fiske, Who Holds Civil
ian Secretary Should Have No
Jurisdiction Over Matters Of Strategy
Powers Now Held Are Far Reaching.

Washington, April I'm embers Of
United that they are thinking seriously
Of curtailing the power of Secretary
Daniels over the navys strategy.
, The subcommittee which is now pre-
pairing the naval appropriation bill has
determined to insert a provision Great
ing a permanent bureau of operations
with not less than fifteen aids for the
chief.
i A similar provision was contained in
the naval bill reported to the house
last congress. but 1t was lost some
where before the measure was enacted
! into law. Instead a chief of operations
was created and the number of aids
assigned him left to the discretion of
the secretary of the navy. Secretary
Daniels has assigned only six or seven
officers to assist the chief. 1t is the
committees belief that a larger one
should be provided. not only to ass
sist the present chief Of operations but
to prevent either Secretary Daniels or
some future official from making the
office entirely worthless by reducing
the number.
Follows Lead of Fiske.
The committee in adopting this pro-
vision is following the recommended
ton of Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske.
former aid to Secretary Daniels. who
recently asserted that the civilian sec
retaries should be given no control
whatsoever over matters Of strategy.
Under existing conditions Secretary
Daniels or any other secretary could
completely change any plan of strategy
determined upon by the chief OF opera
rions Admiral Fske pointed out that
Germany and Japan have made special
studies of naval strategy. while the
United States at the present time
really has no strategy board
1t is the naval affairs committee's
intention that the chief Of operations
and his bureau shall have complete
control of the battle fleet and OF the
working out Of war plans.
Britten Wants Strategy Board.
In discussing the provision last night
Representative Britten of Illinois said:
PERSONALLY, think board OF
fifteen men is small enough. 1t Will
really he a general staff for the navy.
It will have charge of all plans OF
strategy and while the power OF the
secretary Of the navy is not specifically
limited the intention OF congress that
ne shall keep his hands on Will oe
made SO clear that no secretary would
hardly dare interfere with the plans
OF the board"

Recent Speech Makes Impression.

Washington. April 11.--According to
leaders in Washington, Senator Will
liam E. Borah of Idaho. is to be made
the permanent chairman of the Chi
cago convention.
1t became known here that the pro-
gressive republicans have served notice
that they will advance Borah as their
candidate and that large element in
the conservative wing of the party has
indicated it's intention Of accepting
him. His name will be presented by
Senator Kenyon, of Iowa
The hackers of Senator Borah realize
that their fight will have to be made
before the committee on permanent Or
ganization and they started out to w:n
majority in that committee.
Plan Double Barrel Attack.
If Borah is chosen permanent chair
man, it is the expectation of the lead
ers here that he and Senator Harding.
of Ohio, the temporary chairman, will
deliver a double barreled charge at the
administration. The three great issues
will be preparedness, Mexico. and the
tariff.
Senator Harding is keen on the tariff
question. but has not given as much
study to preparedness and Mexico as
has Senator Borah. Cons equently if
the arrangement of Harding and Borah
is definitely decided upon Senator Har-
ding will devote himself largely to
discussion of the tariff. Then Senator
Borah will tear the lid off on Mexico
and preparedness.
Every one in Washington says
Borah is presidential timber Senator
Lodge. of Massachusetts. 1t Is said,
in discussing the senate recently with
a friend asserted that Borah is the
biggest man who has entered it during
his entire experience in Washington.
But Borah has no organization behind
him: his geographical position is
wrong. and long ago he told his friends
he would not enter the contest for del
egates. as favorite son or otherwise.
1t has even been reported here thas
Borah is so anxious to see the repub-
licans win at the polls this fall tina:
he would be willing to accept the vice
presidency nominate in order to help
the ticket altho his term as senator
would carry him thru the next four
years.
Makes Reply to Harding.
Senator Harding's speech on the tar
in in Chicago on Saturday has made a
strong impression on Washington. The
administration has taken steps to an
swer 1t. In letter to the senate yes
terday Secretary Of Commerce Red
field defended the Underwood Simmons
tariff law and pointed out that both
exports and imports have increased
under Its provisions.
The report calls particular attention
to the import trade for the fiscal year
1914. as that year covers twelve Of the
thirteen months Immediately preceding
the outbreak of hostilities in Europe
and Is the period held to indicate most
accurately the effect the new tariff
has had upon American imports.

Mrs. Cones in Auto Accident

Mrs. }. M. Cones and little
son H Homer, in company with
Mr.. Grimes of Inspiration Point
and Mrs. Fleishman of Clear
Creek Valley, had a narrow es-
cape from serious injury last
Friday morning when the Cones
Dodge car turned over with them
on the grade near the fish hatch
cry. Mrs. Cones was driving
the car towards Denver and her
little son was sitting in the seat
by her side, while Mr.. Grimes
and Mrs. Fleishman were in the
rear seat A man with load
of hay was driving ahead and
had turned out to allow her to
pass. The wheels were follow
ing a rut and in her effort to
turn out Mrs. Cones lost control
of the car and it ran down the
embankment and upset onto the
top and then rolled back onto the
right side. Mrs. Cones was sit
ting on the lower side of the car
and Homer was sitting on her
shoulder when they discovered
themselves after the accident
and fortunately none Of the oc-
cupants Of the car were hurt.
They went toa telephone near
by and telephoned Mr.. Cones
who with Gus Graft, his clerk
went to the rescue in a car from
one of the local garages.
Half a dozen men assisted
them to right the car and it was
found that only the windshield,
top, and the two front tenders
were damaged. Mrs. Cones and
Homer were brought home little
worse for the experience except
from fright. The other occu.
pants walked home.

Pomona Grange Has
Splendid Meeting

The Darden Pomona Gran e
held its regular meeting with
Clear Creek Valley Grange in
Barth's hall in Arvada last Fri
day and the meeting proved to
be complete success in every
way.
A splendid program had been
prepared by State Lecturer C.
W. Swaize and Local Lecturer
Percy Wolff which was carried
out almost to the letter.
The morning session was not
largely attended but the inter-
est was good. A resolution was
offered read by Patron Bond op-
posing the adoption of a motor
mail carrying system by the gov
ernment. The chief objection
being that the roads were not
sufficiently developed in many
parts Of the West to make a SO
mile circuit practical and that it
was a move to favor mail order
houses and would have a ten
dency to encroach upon small
towns interests and favor those
of the large cities.
Congressman George kindel
was present and spoke relative
to a company which some pro-
motors were attempting to or
ganize for the purpose of dehy-
drafting fruits. Mr.. Kindel had
acted on an investigating COM
mittee and was not favorably
impressed with what he learn
ed on this investigation and he
was anxious that the farmers
should be very careful about in
vesting money in the concern.
By noon the hall was well filled
with grangers and a large num-
ber of town people who partook
of the splendid chicken pie din
ncr served by the Cemetery Aid.
1t was a bountiful dinner and
was promptly served and every
one present was more than
pleased. The supper was equal
ly as bountiful and good and
both were well patronized.
The after dinner program was
exceptionally entertaining and
profitable.
The address by Rev. Chas. o.
Thibadeau was an eloquent pa
triotic appeal.
This was followed by a vocal
solo by Miss Redstrom.
The debate Resolved That a
System of Rural Credits would
not be Beneficial to the Ameri.
Farmer" was most pleasingly
affirmed by that expert agricul.
turist and stock raiser, John
Grattan, and quite effectively
opposed by Lou d. Sweet, the
practical Colorado farmer and
potatoe king.
Mr.. Grafton contended that
the paternalizing of the Ameri.
can farmer by the government
smacked too freely of the serf-
dom and peasantry of Europe
and that the cheapening OF

send the present freenolders to
the city and to return to the
farm men who were merely
novices in the farming business
and would fall an easy victim to
the city sharks. He also could
see that by cheapening money
the land would naturally en-
hance IN price because of the
greater demand being created
for it, and that the long time
loan would take away that indi-
viduality and independence.
His many jocular remarks Incl
dental with his logic kept the
audience in an uproar a good
share Of the time.
Mr.. Sweet was more Serious
and confined himself to facts and
figures adduced by the commit
tee appointed by congress to
make Investigations abroad and
at home. He showed how the
farmer could have things about
him by being able to borrow
from 5000 to $40, 900 on thirty or
forty years time that he never
could have otherwise, and how
he could make the farm attract
i've to his children.

ed by three very fine selections

manipulated by Carl Schultz,
who is with the A. L. Arvidson
Music Co., of 143S fremont St.,
Denver.
Next on the program was q
most interesting and instructive
address by c. A. Donnelly, Su-
perintendent of the State Home
for Dependent Children. Those
who knew nothing of this insti-
tuition were delighted to learn
that so much is being done for
the unfortunate, homeless waits
and orphans. He explained the
system under which the institu-
tion is conducted and invited
Jefferson County Darden Pomona
Grange to hold a meeting at the
home sometime soon and it
would not be necessary to bring
anything in the way of eatables
along. Worthy Master Vert
man of Clear Creek Valley
Grange responded with a vote of
thanks to him and all the speak.
ers and those taking part on the
program.
The Tiller sisters, Georgina
and Inez favored the audience
with a very beautiful piano duet
and responded to a hearty en-.
core.
There were a number of
prominent men present who
gave short eXtenporaneous ad-
dresses, among them Ex-Gover-
nor Ammons, Ex-Governor Har.
per, Mr.. johnson, Secretary of
the Denver Live Stock Associa-
tion, and John F. Hunter of

All are good takers and were
well worth listening to.
