CabelI Says No Truth

RICHMOND, Va. Feb. 9.-Royal E. Cabell said tonight that, so far as he knew, there was not one word of truth in the statements in the letter alleged to have been written by $. Brown Allen. He declared that Frank II Hitchcock had just told him over the long distance telephone that the whole story was fabrication.
 Ut is true,' added MT. Cabell. that I. in common with thousands of re- publicans in Virginia. would like to see Justice Hughes. or a man of his type, nominated for president, but any fight I am making will be entirely within the party organization and will not be carried to the point of endangering party harmony.

LONDON, Feb. l0.-The Times na- val expert, in an article today dealing with Secretary of State Lansings sug- Eestion that the belligerent countries subscribe to declaration of principles governing attacks on merchantmen and forbiddng the arming of such yes sels, says:
 The acceptance of Secretary of State Lansing's proposal would be suicidal. first, because it would hamper and in Jure us out of all proportion to our enc mics, and, secondly, because no faith can be placed in German promises. The effect of an acceptance of Mir. Ian sings formula would be the virtual disarmament of merchant ships
 "The formula is expressed by MT. Lansing under five headings, of which the first, second and fourth are correct enough and could be accepted, while the fifth is meaningless in practice, as if affirms that only where impossible to supply prize crew or to convoy merchant ship is sinking justified, and in that case passengers and crew must be removed to a place of safety
 But it is always impossible for submarine to supply prize crew, and thus she would always be justifiable in destroying prizes. We take our stand firmly on the necessity of taking ships before a prize court. If the Ger mans cannot do this, they have no real complaint for the established principles of international law are per fectly clear, although the enemy has

chosen deliberately to disregard them.
 "The third clause, how ever-that a belligerent- merchant ship promptly should obey an order to stop-has no justification. That neutral ship should stop if it is ordered to do so is an accepted principle but no twisting of precedents can warrant the assertion that one of our mer- chant ships must do so. She is liable to be fired on if she does not, but she has a perfect right to try to escape.
 Merchant ships have been armed from time immemorial and their right to resist capture never had been dis puted until the Germans began to make their numerous efforts to undermine our power at sea. It is inconceivable that the British government should make any concessions in this direction.
 'The American note connects the arming of merchantmen with the weak ness of submarines, cOntending that the introduction of submarine warfare has altered the relative status of the armed merchant ship and the limited defen- sive powers of submarines, rendering them liable to successful attack by merchantmen. The allied governments cannot be expected to suffer and the Germans to profit by this.
 Germany, moreover, has recently | sent out merchant vessels with formid- able armaments to attack commerce, showing the imperative need of the al | lies arming their trading ships more heavily than in the past"

WASHINGTON, Feb 9.-Wholesale in government export sta tistics were admitted today by Sec retary Redfield of the department of commerce, in a speech before the chamber of commerce of the United States. He said, however, that by an order issued February 1. he had rem edied the situation so far as was in his power and that the errors of the past, caused by refusal of shippers to give the government facts. and by antequated laws, would not be re peated.
 The secretary referred to charge made a month ago by officials of the chamber that the percentage of error in departmental reports was so great that it was impossible even for experts to estimate it; that single cargoes running into thousands of dollars in value left American ports without being recorded, and that the published export figures for 1914, fell far short of the actual exports. He said this probably understated the case. There was but slight inaccur- acy in import statistics, he added, as returns on imports were more fully under government control.
 Such errors as have existed in re- cording exports said he, "are prob ably understated. The business of compiling figures of $5,000,000000 a year under a law of 1920 is not a simple matter. The errors have been caused wholly by shippers who were unwilling to state the facts. l am

of training and officering the National Guard.
 Adiutant General Foster of the Florida National Guard, chairman of the executive committee of the Ma tional Guard association, again was in Washington tonight and it was under stood he would be further consulted in order that the bill might be made ac- ceptable to the state troops.
 Coupled with the pay feature of the bill probably will be Chairman Hays plan to authorize the president to draft National Guardsmen into the federal service immediately in time of war. This is designed to settle any conflict of authority which might arise and also to insure that the whole membership of the Guard will be available for fed eral uses the number not to depend, as now. upon how many volunteer.
 For the regular army the bill prob ably will provide for the 10000 addi- tional men asked for by Secretary Gar rison, although the committee is said to be about equally divided on the Hay and Garrison plans for making the in crease. Representative Hay proposes to fill existing regiments up to full war strength and increase only the number of artillery regiments, while Secretary Garrison has asked for ad ditional skeleton regiments of infantry and artillery to make up tactical di- visions.
 An element of the committee favorS continuance of the practice of govern ment manufacture of army munitions, and on this aspect of the plans the committee will face a struggle within it's own ranks. Some members believe those favOring the war departments at ttude of providing work enough for private plants to insure big wartime production capacity have votes enough to secure this end in the bill.
 The house naval committee continued it's struggle today over details of navy personnel problems with Rear Admiral Blue, chief of the bureau of naviga- ton, still on the stand.

SANTA BARBARA, Feb 9.-The mysterious aircraft which has been operating over the Santa Barbara channel is now believed to be the contrivance of an eastern aeronautical engineer c. H. McIsaac, secretary of the local chamber of commerce, today said that three months ago he re- ceived a letter from an engineer ask ing for information as to conditions here. The letter stated that eXper- iments with a new hydroplane were contemplated. The information was forwarded and about two months ago there was acknowledgment and the further statement that the trip west would be made.

 MT. Thorn said that there was such a proposal in the commissions letter but that later on in the letter it was specifically stated that MT. Brandeis should undertake the burden of the other side" because the commission knew that the railroads would be ad equately represented.
 MT. Thorne occupied the stand at two long sessions of the sub committee, closing his testimony late tonight. To- morrow the sub committee plans to hear Representatives of the United States Shoe Machinery company, with which MT. Brandeis was once asso- ciated as consul
 MT. Thorne said s75,00O was raised by packers, cattle shippers, grain men and others for the state railroad som mission in the western advanre freight rate case.

 Lieutenant Governor John M. ESh- leman. of California, president of the California Railroad Commission at the time the advance freight rate cases were pending, next took the stand eX- plaining that he happened to be in Washington and that somebody had given his name to the committee as d witness. He vigorously defended MF. Brandeis.
 "l have no charge to make" he said, "our state was interested in these cases and I never have been able to tell why MT. Thorne feels as he does about MT. Brandeis' action, and I have not found any railroad commission man who does not agree with me. MT. Brandeis never suggested to the com mission that the railroads should get the five per cent increase they were asking for. And as to a breach of faith and unprofessional conduct charge, l want to say that if MT. Bran deis had been appealing before me as president of the California railroad commission, I should have felt very much surprised if he had not stated his position frankly.
