Butler Asks Daniels Some
Sensational Questions
at Naval Hearing
RUSSIA HAS OUR
GUN DESIGNS
Daniels Says Never Heard
of It; Butler Can
"Give the History"

Washington, d. c., April .Reprcsen
tative Butler, of the House naval com
mittee, Republican, questioning Score
tary Daniels, asked yesterday if it were
important that navy secrets be kept con-
fidential.
"Of course" said Mr.. Daniels.
Don't you know that the design OF
our guns has been turned over to the
Russian government during your admin
istration Z" demanded Mr. Butler.
81 never heard of it," said the secre'
tary.
Il think | can give you the history of
that" said Mr.. Butler, but dropped the
subject for the time. Later he asked the
secretary to ask Admiral Strauss chief
of the bureau of ordnance, for letter
written by the admiral two years ago
to the Krupp factory in Germany with
regard to the navy l4-inch guns. Mr..
Daniels agreed to do so.
Representative Butler asked if Secre
tary Daniels did not believe the Anlcri-
can navy should be in the second place.
RI do not think we can or oG.,l'l to
figure on any particular nation s.""ngth

tary Daniels. Il do not believe this Con
gress should tax the people this year to
make up the Deficiencies Of twenty years.
We ought to lay out strong program
and build to that. | think this Congress
ought to authorize the biggest program
ever authorized. More than that, it
ought to fit out our navy yards for build

so urgent that we should tell private
builders they must lay aside other

Secretary Daniels opposed any amend

before the committee and opposed plan
to have the federal trade commission
determine the cost OF armor manufac

have the secretary fix the price of armor |

Be Quickly Doubled

Nearly every woman who has an ordi.
nary head of hair can by giving it just a
little attention have luxurant hair, soft

that Partisan Sage, delightfully."- clean
and refreshing tonic, not only will make
your hair look 100 per cent. better, but

a result of estimates that the crop OF
winter wheat in the United States this
year would be l65,O00,000 bushels less
than the yield harvested in 1915 Profit
taking was heavy during the advance,
but all the offerings were readily abb
sorbed, with foreigners taking part in
the buying.

Saturdays finish. The close yesterday

Freddy Welsh Will
Defend Title This
Fall in Colorado

Denver, Colo, July 1s.-Freddie
Welsh, worlds champion lightweight,
has definitely accepted an offer Of
$17,500 for a twenty-round decision
battle for the championship before
the Colorado Springs Athletic club,
known as the hundred-million -dollar
club, on Labor day.
1t was first reported that Welsh
had signed articles, and he would
have but for the fact that he was
compelled to catch a fast train for
San Francisco to get there in time to
bid goodbye to his sister, who will
sail for the Malay peninsula.
The articles will be signed upon the
deposit of guarantee. which will be
accomplished upon Welshs return
here. The club officials were pre-
pared to put the money in the bank
today, but all arrangements could not
be made before Welsh left. The
purse offered by the club for the
bout is $4,000. Today's offer made
to Welsh is far more liberal than the
demand Of Welsh and his manager,
but the terms of $4,000 required a
privilege of the gate receipts.
The right to choose the opponent
rests with the club instead of with
Welsh. Though it is generally &C
cepted that Charlie White will be the
man who will meet Welsh. it is also
within the range of possibility that
Johnny Dundee or Benny Leonard
will win the right to contest for the
championship in his place.

name was always linked in horsedom
with that of his champion pacing
wonder.
Dan Patch, champion Of champions,
with a mark OF SIS, died of athletic
heart. after having carved for himself
a niche in the horse world that many
believe will never be filled. In pacing
his sensational miles few years ago,
Dan Patch strained his heart many
times to point almost beyond equine
endurance, the organ being called
upon to stand a strain almost to the
breaking point.
The famous horse had been used
only for breeding purposes for sew
eral years. His offsprings were nearly
as great as he, for records within a
few second Of the untouched l:5S
mark have been made by some Of his
progeny. Dan Patch was great both
as racer and as a sire. And he was
game horse-game to the last drop,
and it was his indomitable courage
that resulted in the weakness that
finally caused his death.

rangements will be consummated to
play this game the Sunday after the
Ramblers' return.
Two Leagues Through.
The regular schedule OF the Boost
er and Inter-City leagues terminates
today. The Krajiceks are the unde-
feated leaders OF the Inter-City league
and they can't lose today, because
the team booked to oppose them has
abandoned the field and they will
chalk up a forfeit game, hence they
can now be heralded as the cham
pions of the Inter-City league. Three
teams in the Booster league, namely,
the Tradesman, Trimble Brothers and
the Beddeos have each dropped three
games and it will be necessary to
play a few additional games, which
were postponed during the season in
order to ascertain which one will
hook the rag.
Hereafter any player connected
with the Greater Omaha league will
have to secure written permission
from his manager in order to play
with an out-of-town team, otherwise
his contract will be null and void for
this season and next so far as active
participation in games governed by
the aforementioned league is con-
cerned. This resolution is evidently
a good one, because all the managers
greeted it with the stamp of approval.
The association granted Bernard
Hageman, manager of the Trimble
Brothers, power to sign one new
player.
Several players formerly with the
La Siestas have joined the Beselins
and the directors approved the move.
The protest between the Tradesman
and National Cash Registers was de-
cided in favor OF the Registers be-
cause the score was 3 to 2 in their
favor when the curtain should have
been dropped. A protest between
the Trimble Brothers and the Ma
tional Cash Registers was waste

the San Francisco trotter, who won
the $4,000 stake at the Panama-Pa-
cihc exposition last year. Others Of
fame are Bacelli, . Cleveland entry,
and Guy Nella Of Memphis. This
same field will 60 into the NJ. and M.
