NEW YORK, January 21.-Capt. Will
liam NJ. Ohiey, chief of the local bureau
of investigation of the Department of
Justice, today received letter from
Ignatius T. Trebich Lincoln, the con-
fessed German spy. who escaped from
a United States deputy marshal last
Saturday, in which the writer offered to
surrender at once If guaranteed immu-
nifty from prosecution on the forgery
charge which caused his arrest last
August.
The forgery charge upon which Lin
coin was arrested was preferred by
the British consulate here. and he was
being held pending extradition to Eng
land.
Lincoln, a Hungarian by birth, but a
naturalized Englishman, and a former
member of the British parliament. con-
tended. after his arrest, that the Brit
ish authorities did not wish to try him
on the forgery charge, but to execute
him for his former espionage work in
behalf of the German war intelligence
Office.

sequence the navy is being built and

The Secretary Of the Navy claims
that ships built in the navy yards cost
the government less than those built
IN private yards. The truth is quite the
contrary. The book keeping methods of
the Navy Department are wrong, and
instead Of continually putting forth
inaccurate statements to the public
through the Secretary Of the Navy. the

qualified public accountants and the re-
suit reported 10 Congress and the pub

the day after the speech that he was
not thinking of any policy on the part
of the government when he made the

trying to raise. He was merely ex-
pressing a personal attitude and was

LONDON, January eI.-News-

ments of the Austrian forces are
said to be within fifteen miles OF
Scutari itself. Recent dispatches
have stated that the seat of the
NlonteneSrln government had
been established at Scutari.
The declaration in Vienna dispatch
received today denying reports that
the peace negotiations between Aus

the dispatch was belated one filed

the contrary.

that Montenegro has decided TO fight

Vienna Version of Situation.
II was announced in Vienna last
night that the press reports that
Montenegro had discontinued peace ne
gotiations were unfounded. 1t was
stated that as yet the laying down OF
arms demanded by Austria had not
been completed by the Montenegrins
and that until this was done by all the
Montenegrin troops peace conditions
would not be discussed. The condi-
tons have not yet been stated. as the
Austro-German peace commissioner
Otto, formerly Austrian minister at
Cettinje, still is en- route for that city
and arrived at Serajevo yesterday. II
was added that several days would still
be required before all the Montenegro
troops would come in from the hills
and surrender. Only then would the
actual negotiations begin. What the
Austro- Hungarian terms would he, it
was stated in Vienna, could not be

PLAN TO SPEED UP
WORK IN CONGRESS
Decided Upon at a Dinner
Given by Secretary
McAdoo.

Democratic leaders in Congress were
preparing today to speed up consdera-
ton of the legislative program
This step was decided upon at a din
ner given by Secretary McAdoo last
night to the leaders, including Speaker
Clark and the chairmen of important
committees.
In addition to agreeing upon plans
for accelerating the legislative work,
ways and means of raising revenue
were discussed. 1t was said, however,
that no radical change in Secretary
McAdoo's plan for raising revenue was
contemplated.
Attention was called to the slow
progress being made in Congress in
disposing of important business, and
stress was laid upon the desirability
of clearing up the legislative slate prior
TO the national conventions.
The leaders pointed out that the Sen
ate had adjourned over until Monday
to permit continuous meetings of com
mitteeS having pressing business ana
that final work on the revenue bills
would be completed as soon as the
ways and means committee is advised
by the naval and military committees
as to the amount of money that viii
be required to carry out the national
defense program. The Senate finance
committee will meet next week.
The chairmen Of committees present
at the McAdoo dinner We're Senators

fairs, and Overman tactnS), judiciary.
and Representatives Fitzgerald. appro-
priations; Henry, rules; Padgett, naval
affairs; Adamson, interstate and for
eign, commerce.: Lever, agriculture;
Mo4h, post office. and Stephens, India n
affairs Representatives Garrett of
Tennessee and Page of North Carolina
were the only guests other than com
mittee chairmen.
No Speeding UP in Senate.
Legislative speeding up did not ma
terialize in the Senate today, notwith-
standing adjournment yesterday until
Monday to give committees opportunity
for uninterrupted work. The only Sen
ate committee which took advantage
Of the recess was military affairs. and
that has peen meeting daily anyway
while the Senate was in session.
Failure Of committees to get together
caused considerable comihent as TO the
reason for adjournment yesterday
after several days of exciting debate
on the Mexican ana european war
issues.
Inquiry into the situation developed
one fact as to the real cause OF ad-
journment and that was the desire of
certain democratic leaders to postpone
action on the Philippine self-govern-
ment bill in order to rally support to
the amendment by Senator Clarke Of
Arkansas, which would provide for
Philippine independence in two years:
Some of the democrats are determined
to make vigorous fight for the pas
sage of this amendment and propose
to utilize the time until the bill comes
up next week to convert their col
leagues to support OF it.
