O'GORMAN ASSAILS
BRITISH EMBARGO
He Charges That 200 Neutral
Ships Have Left Seas Be-
cause Of Blockade.
DISCUSSES FREIGHT TIEUP

wAsuINGroS, Jan. 1.-The Senate
spent two hours to-day considering the
resolution OF Senator Walsh Of Montana
providing for a Senate investigation Of
the congestion OF freight In the vicinity
OF New York and the embargo laid by
the carriers on freight shipments
The resolution finally was referred to
by Senator Brandegee that the inquiry
might better be conducted by the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
Mr.. Walsh answered that the COM
mission already was investigating GER
tain OF the conditions, and he believed
subjects of Senate inquiry. Later it
was suggested that the inquiry be held
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion of the Senate instead of by a COM
mittee.
The principal incident OF the debate
was a colloquy between Senators O'Gor-
man and Nelson.
Senator Newlands of Nevada was re-
citing reasons for the shortage of ships
when Senator O'Gormau suggested that
more than 200 vessels belonging to
OF commission by virtue of policy
which has been pronounced by our State
Department as violatlve of well estab-
lshed principles of international Law
and In disregard OF the rights of neutral
nations"
senator Nelson. Republican, of Mime.
sofa took issue with Senator D'Gorinan,
saying that the. report of the Commits
sioner Of Navigation showed that next
f.. 1rts IN h.. lf.t. .f
shipping Is carried OH by Norway and
that Norway. sweden and Denmark eX-
ceeded every other country except Great
Britain In merchant marine.
ITO my certain knowledge added Mr..
Nelson. what the Senator from New
York says---that more than 200 vessels
of neutral shipping have been eliminated
from cominerce-is not true. and for this
reason: | know that every Norwegian
vessel from a motor boat up is as busy
as can be carrying products from abroad.
/ As "A matter of fact. within the last six
, months more Scandinavian and Dutch
shipping has been sunk by torpedo boats
than has been the case with the shipping
/ of Great Britain. II is true that most
OF these ships have been freighters but
/ the lives of the seamen and officers OF
these vessels are as dear to them as tho
! lives of the people who have means of
travelling on great liners. II is not true
| that the shipping OF the neutral coun-
| tries In the north has been iutcrfered
with by the British orders in coincil.
/ IL has been injured and iut"rfsred with
: solely by operation of the torpedo boat
! and occasional mines That Is what has
| intcrfcred with traffic at sea of Scandi-
navian and neutral countries. including

PROSPERITY TO LAST

Tells President Americans
Need Only to Reach Out
for Big Business.
MAY STAY IN FIRST PLACE

WARRINGTON. Jan. 7.--Secretary Of
Commerce Redaeld made public to-day
n memorandum relative to continuance
Of the country's prosperity" which he
has submitted to President Wilson. The
memorandum IL a resume OF conditions
generally throughout the country. In II
he says:
In the first place. It Is not to be ex-
pected that our business movement will
continue In It's present FORM In tho
week which closed with December IL
our exports were nearly s1o0.0o0,ooo in
value. and the apparent favorable bal
ance on merchandise transactions was

mo one dreams that We can now. or
in the near future. maintain an export
movement OF over five billions annually
or that We may sanely expect an ap-
chandise transactions Of three billions
IN any one year.
LOoking to Future.
I'VE should be subjected. through hav-
ing such a giants strength, to the temp
taton to use IT like a giant Every evil
that excessive power brings to men
would threaten us. 1t need not be dis
cussed. for no one expects II to exist.
We may turn. however. from the
abnormal present to consider what prom
ire there is of a normal prosperity based
on conditions afte- the war shall cease.
When the war began we were third
among the nations in International trade.
Now we are the first. Whether we shall
remain the first depends on the vision
and energy OF our bankers. manufac-
turers. merchants and farmers.
"1f the false doctrine Of American
inability to compete and the provincial
dread OF transactions outside our own
borders shall continue 20 control Ameri-
can enterprise. then We may react 70
our former inferior place. IL a broader
outlook and a sane confidence shall have
replaced the former fear OF ghosts, then
we may look to certain existing facts AS
foundations not only for the mainte-
nance OF our relative place in the for
| eign field, bu, for the continuance OF
| A high degree Of prosperity.
I'VE have for the first time In oui
| history a sound system of finance. In
this one respect is our preparedness com
plete. our finances can he mobilized or

| ments OF that doubt which always hin

ATTACK ON GERMANS
Anglers LONGWORTH
He Resents Gardner's Speech
lin House as Tanning
Racial Hatred.
OTHERS JOIN IN THE FRAY

WASHINGTON. Jan. THE outlying
issues Of the European war as embodied
IN the pro-German demand for an en-
barge on American shipments OF muni-
tions and the agitation to prevent Ameri-
cans from travelling on bell'gerent ships
were brought squarely before the House
to-day in a series Of speeches.
A speech by Representative Gardner
OF Massachusetts excoriating the pro-
German demand for an embargo ON the
shipment Of munitions started the trou-
Bile. Mr.. Gardner denounced the demand
for an embargo as "unpatriotic." and
frankly arrayine himself on the side of
the Entente Allies. declared that he
never would approve move 10 stop tne
war with the plunder in Germany's g
grasp"
He charged that the Germans were
"savages," engaged In an attempt TO
subvert the democracy OF Europe. and he
insisted that Germans were perfectly
willing to use gold or dynamite 10
prevent ammunition from reaching t'c
Allies.
Defence Of the Germans.
The attack made by Mr.. Gardner
brought prompt replies from Representa-
tiyes Stafford and Cooper of Wisconsin
and I,onvworth OF Ohio, son-in-law OF
Col. Roosevelt, who eulog!zed the Ger
mans as patriotic and law abiding cit
izenr.
"The speech We have just heard, de-
clared Mr.. Cooper. addressing Mr. Gard
ner. "is such ns might have been mace
in the British House Of Commons.
Mr.. Stafford. who represents NIL
waukee district. described Mr.. caro-,
ncr as more Briton than American
and as the author of a base libel on tine
good name OF Germans In the uhlteo
States.

man Americans are contemp,uous "'

wholly and absolutely false, SAID Mf
I.ongworth, who spoke next. "Thc 'i-r'
mans are as law abiding and patriotic a'
any other body Of our citizens Thl'
is not tho 'lne to bring up the dues
ton OF restricting expectations OF arms
and ammunition. To do so merely iail'
the flames OF racial hatred.
"I regret that Mr. Gardner made sucr
a speech. 1t was reckless and intem'
perate II demonstrates in strikinR
| fashion that the gentleman does mol
know the sterling qualities Of Germans
who have become naturalized American

| Mr.. Gardner discussed in rathe'
| critical vein the negotiations OF th'
United States with Germany over sub
| marine warfare. After mentioning th'
ships that had gone down with Amer!
cans on board as n result OF submarine

that the President would settle thcs'

KENOsHA mot NEUTRAL?
Complaint Is Made to Mayor Against
Activities to Collect Supplies for
French 'FRONT.'

The neutrality Of Kenosha in connec-
ton with the great war in Europe has
been officially challenged. A complaint
has been lodged with Mayor Pfennig
against the present activity of well
known women of the city in collecting
supplies to be sent to the French front.
The mayor has not as yet referred the
matter to the Secretary of State and he
may not take this acton. The COM
plant may not even be referred to the
common council. ct don't know lust
what the definition of neutrality is. -
said the mayor this morning. "My
understanding of the work that has
been done in Kenosha is that it was
wholly along the line of relieving dis
tress and that the ladies of the city
were in no way supplying munitions of
war;
1t is said that the complainant to the
mayor-and he refused to make public
her name-insisted that hospital sup
plies were in the same category as mu-
nitions of war. The making of the
supplies for the French front is still
being continued.

BODY FOR SCIENCE.
Remains of e. B. Huber, Who Died in

The body Of E. B. Huber, Milwau-
kee man, who died in Kenosha week
ago, has been turned over to DR.. Bar
deem at the University of Wisconsin
to be used by the students in seienti-
fic research. This action was taken by
County Agent Jones when he was in
formed that relatives of the man would
make no plans to take care of the body.
Huber was a salesman and he died at
the home of Mrs. Vincent Steffgen on
English Court. He was supposed to
have two sons at Waukesha, but moth
ing has been heard from them. The
order for the county to dispose of the
body was received by the police de-
partment from a sister Of the man liv-
ing at Wilmington, Va. It is said that
Huber and the members of his family
had lived apart for some time and that
for this reason the members of the
family would make no provision for the
burial of the remains. DR.. Bardeen
made arrangements to pay all expenses
charged against the county and took
the body to Madison.

MUST GO UNDERGROUND.
Council Will Insist That Telephone
Company Live up to Provisions
of the Ordinance.

There is a battle in sight between
the officials of the city and the offic-
lals Of the Wisconsin Telephone Com.
pany as the latter have announced that
the plan for conduits in Kenosha does
not include the placing of conduits in
Sheridan Road at this time. Sheridan
Road is part of the underground terri
tory and aldermen who were seen today
declared that the city would insist that
the telephone wires go under ground on
this street as we'll as on the other
streets in the district. The company has
protested against putting the Sheridan
Road wires underground on account Of
the fact that the poles are carrying
some of the toll line wires. The com
pany was advised more than three yeal S
ego that the wires must go underground
and at that time they were advised to
make arrangements so as to make it
easy for the company to comply with
the city ordinance.
