 SYSTEM IF SUPPLY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.-Criticism of the system of the war department and council of national defense in se- curing clothing and other supplies for the army was renewed by members of the senate military committee today during further examination of Major General Sharpe, quartermaster general.
 General Sharpe said in response to questions that his approval of con tracts. negotiated by the councils sup plies committee was to an extent per functory and none had ever been dis approved. He defended the establish ment of the civilian committee, how ever, as a necessity because of the enormous task involved in handling war orders for the expanding army.
 Shortages of winter clothing, General Sharpe attributed largely to belated de- liveries on account of garment makers strikes and lack of special machinery in private factories, and to the decision 10 send American soldiers to France earlier than originally planned.
 Orders to clothe more than 1850, 900 men have been given. General Sharpe stated and early next year it is eX- pected to have on hand enough for 1900, 900. Overcoats deliveries. he said were AS per cent behind contract on November 30. ..,.-, ,,..
 Steps taken by Secretary Baker be- fore the American war declaration to secure clothing for a large army were again recounted by General Sharpe On April 4, two days before the war the secretary authorized emergency contracts. to clothe 500,000 men, and contracts were let in the open market without advertising For another hall million men contracts were let in May with the assistance of the council oi national defense.
 / Questions relating to cantonment construction contracts were asked by the committee but General Sharpe saiC all cantonment matters had been hand. led by General Littell. The latter anC his assistants. including Major Ster. rett, are to be called soon.
 Tomorrow the committee expects tt hear, probably in executive session, Ma | jor Generals Wright and Creole, com
 manders at Camps Doniphan an, | Bowie, respectively. regarding thei recent inspection of General Pershing
 expedition and their own camp ex periences.

GOVERNMENT MOVE
 NARROWING SCOPE
 IF INVESTIGATION
Republican A. p. leased Wlre]

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27-President Wilson's decision to take over the rail- roads will keep the senate coal inquiry within narrower limits than originally planned. Members of the manufactur CTS committee. investigating both coal and sugar are disinclined to go into the transportation difficulties now that they believe improvement is in sight and in the hearing today touched only casualty upon the lack of railroad fla cilities. which has been blamed for most of the coal shortage.
 w B. ColVer, member of the federal trade commission, the only witness to- day. said failure of railroads to place enough cars at mines had resulted in bituminous miners of the country being idle an average of two or three days week which not only limits produc tion but tends to make discontented laborers. Had there been plenty of cars this year, he stated, enough coal could have been mined to make up the 50, ,o00,000 ton shortage Fuel Admin istrator Garfield estimates exists
 Mir Cover reiterated, however, the commissions opinion that no car shortage exists and that misplacing of cars is what is causing the trouble. Production was at it's lowest ebb and prices the highest, he testified, when President Wilson set tentative coal prices in August and it was price con- ditions prior to that. and transportation conditions, both rail and water since, that led to the present situation.
 Early last summer. MT. Colver said the committee, the operators had con- tracted for so per cent of the estimated outpnt for the year at prices higher than those later fixed. Just before the l prices were fixed there was violent 1 bidding for coal not contracted for and in many cases still higher prices were paid. Then. he explained, the opera tors hurried to deliver this high priced l product leaving the contract coal, the bulk of deliveries, until later. In con sequence, he said, coal usually shipped
 to the Great Lakes, New England anC
 other sections during the summer wa.
 not sent and in the fall when the op
 orators turned to their contracts ther,
 were no facilities for delivery.
 Prices set by the president were high
 the commissioner testified. but no l nearly so high as those in most con , tracts and much lower than that solt without contract. Existing contract in most instances have been allowed t,
 stand. hence much coal is being solt
 at prices higher than those fixed by tn
 president.
 The committee will take up suga
 again tomorrow with Food Administra tor Hoover testifying. The statemen !, which he tried to get before the com mittee last week already has been mad public at the White House but it expected he will be questioned durin I the entire day. Other sugar witnesse . may be called for Saturday, but tn committee has no definite plans beyon

Germany Up To Old Tricks On
 Brazil Waters
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 21.-Brazilian papers received here today are filled with accounts of the movements Of German corsair off the Brazilian coast a few weeks ago. The newspapers assert that the mysterious vessel was lden- tified by q German and that it unloaded an immense cargo of heavy cases at Cerqueira and Armacao
 Several days later the steamer re- turned to Armaccao with additional cargo, which the newspaper accounts say it is believed she received from a larger ship out of sight of land. From Armacao the vessel proceeded to Ca louro where another portion of the cargo was unloaded.
 These ports are not guarded and it is asserted that the cargoes landed were mysteriously smuggled away. Later the German vessel was sighted at San Pedro de Aldera, where two persons now are under arrest as re- suit of their relations with the crew. They are charged with being spies.
 The newspapers say the steamer dis appeared as mysteriously as she came and that Brazilions believe she brought supplies for a submarine base. Dispatches received here from F1o- rianopolis, Brazil, say that a large number of German conspirators have 1 been arrested after the discovery of g plot to overthrow the local authorities | All the Germans were armed. They had bee nmeeting at various times un der the preteXt that they were mem bers of a German society.

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-The ship ping boards wooden ship program was flatly called failure today by F. A. Bowles, former naval constructor and now assistant to the general manager of the boards emergency fleet cor poration. Summoned before the sen ate commerce committee to shed light on the causes of delays in building ships. MT. Bowles said the wooden constru ctiQn venture was q mistake and never should have been attempted.
 The program cannot be completed OH time, he told the committee because the country cannot furnish enough ship timber, the 45S awarded contracts calling for more lumber than is rep resented in the entire output of south- ern pine producers for year. Most of them were placed in the east and south and specify pine timbers.
 The wooden program said Ad- miral Bowles. was launched on scale entirely beyond the country's produc- ton. Mills in the south have not de- liVered lumber one half as fast as was necessary and western mills have been almost as slow. Even if the timber supply had been plentiful wooden ships could not have been built as fast as steel.'
 MT. Bowles took entire responsibility for changes in timber specifications and changes in the design of wooden ships He said it was to make the vessels more seaworthy and had brought about little actual delay in construction.
 Ninety per cent of the labor put into the construction of wooden yes sels, he declared could be used in stee shipyards
 In justice to myself" he added, q want to say that I had nothing to dc with letting the wooden ship contracts.
 Members of the committee displayed keen interest in the terms of fabri- cated steel ship contracts and indi- cated that they thought too high : l profit was allowed the builders

STOCKS GO UP AS GOVERNMENT PLANS
 ID RUN RAILROADS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Wall street expressed unqualified endorsement of President Wilson's plan for the gov ernment to run the railroads by a sweeping advance today in the secur- ities market The upturn was one of the most sensational seen in years The assurances of net earnings and of the maintenance of railroad properties were the factors of the government program which pleased investors and dealers in stocks and bonds.
 The peSsimism of the last few monthN over the railroad outlook gave way to enthusiasm which, when the rather unexpected news from Wash ington was read in this mornings pa pers. Orders to buy poured into brok- CTS offices and the market was primed for a big advance long before it opened
 Railroad shares, especially those un- der greatest depression in the wide spread decline of recent months, re- corded extreme gains of five to ten points in the representative group, F to IS points in the less active dividend issues and to 13 points in numerous non dividend stocks, including several not long out of their reorganization i stage.
 The bond market for rails kept pace with. the movement on stocks, various underlying or junior issues advancing 3 to Sla points. Greatest gains in the bond list were made by the coalers, notably Fries, with substantial inn provement in the convertible issues of secondary western and southwestern roads, including grangers and cotton carriers.
