NAVY REFUSED BAD MEAT FROM PACKERS
By Review Leased Wire,

NEW YORK, June 19.-Men of the American navy and the naval reserves would have been served with great quantities of decayed meat, but .or the vigilance Of inspection officers who re- jected it as unfit for human consump- tion. according to evidence given here today before the federal trade com mission. The testimony was brought out during the inquiry which the con- mission is conducting into charges that Wilson & Co.,, packers, sold bad hams to the government.
 Naval officers also testified that the packers had asked "exorbitant" prices in bids to furnish hams to the navy, with the result that communicating order was issued at prices fixed by the government.
 After Capt Charles Williams. navy pay director. had described his refusal to accept 492,074 pounds of hams. which he said were "musty. mouldy, marrow-sour or just plain sour," Thomas E. Wilson, president of the company, denied that his firm had ever knowingly delivered tainted meat to the army or navy.
 The packers testimony was supple mented by that of Walter J. Reese and H. Hirschfelder, agents at Philadel- phia and San Antonio, who denied having attempted at any time to dis pose of unsound meat to the govern ment.
 Captain Williams, vino is stationed in Brooklyn, where he directs ship ment of food and clothing to the en- tire enlisted personnel of the navy, de- clared that violent protests" had been made by officers in charge of the Great Lakes training station near Chi cago, against further delivery of Will son hams. Other hams, shipped to the battleship Missouri, he said, were re- jected as ''unsound and dangerous.
 Some of the hams sent to the Great Lakes training station, the witness tes- tified, were mouldy products which had been "scraped" by Wilson & O., after their original rejection, and ac cepted by the navy department, over Captain Williams protest
 Medical officers at the station ob- jected so strenuously to the shipments. he declared. that they were discorS tinued.

 Mooney is under sentence of death in California for alleged participation in a preparedness day bomb outrage in San Francisco.
 The Mooney resolution which was passed unanimously, asserted that un- less Mooney is to go to the gallows with the belief prevailing that his con viction was obtained through perjured testimony. a new trial must be given. An appeal to the governor of Cali fornia asks that executive to "dispel the impression that a grave miscar- riage of justice is being allowed with the knowledge of the authorities"

Justin Godart, assistant secre- tary of war Of France and head of a French war mission to the United States. declared that a union of French and American workers will be one of the results of the conflict in Europe. He said the prevailing thought in the minds of the soldiers and workers of France was to win the war.

GRAFT PROBERS INVOLVE MEN OF
 ARMY AND NAVY
Civilian Employees and Soldier Drawn into Scandal by At tempted Double Collection of Big Bill.
By Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Employes
 of the war and navy departments to- day were drawn into the net set by the department of justice for war con- tract brokers. through indictments re- turned by a federal grand jury here, charging four men with trying to col lect on a duplicate bill for S1S7,000 submitted by a dry dock company for repairs to a government vessel. The case does not involve fee profiteers. but grew out of the investigation into their practices.
 The four indicted are Clyde C. Waltman. a yOeman in the navy de- partment's bureau of supplies and ac- counts. Charles Waltman, his brother; Benjamin w. Peake, a soldier sta toned at Fort Megis, Wash, formerly of Berea, N. C., and D. Malvin Now cry, a stenographer employed in the signal corps, formerly of Lancaster, Pa.
 With free access to the navy de- pertinent files, Clyde c. Waltman and Mowerv were said to have obtained a bill for s1S7.000, rendered by the Morse Dry Dock and Repair company of New York. for repairs to the gov ernment vessel Canadaigua. After the bill was alleged to have been taken from the files, the company was told it was lost and was asked to submit a duplicate. which was paid. Before the men presented the original bill for payment. they were arrested.
 The scheme failed, it is said, because an unnamed sailor who heard of the blot informed the government. All four men have been arrested and re- leased on bail
 Definite proof of specific payments to contingent fee agents was gathered today by Asst. Atty. Gen. Houston Thompson from records seized by se- cref agents in the raids Monday on these agencies headquarters in Wash ington.

CONGRESS MAY
 IMMEDIATELY ACT
 UPON DRAFT BILL
New Classification Expected to Provide 25O,OOO Addi- tional Men for Army; Crowder Urges Action
Rv Review I.eased Wlrel

(By Review Leased Wtre)
 WASHINGTON, June 19.-With- drawal by Secretary Baker of his Op- position gave fresh impetus today to consideration of the proposal before congress to extend the draft age limit SO that the war department will have available at no distant date ample man power to carry out President Will sons program of an army Of unlimited size for the war on Germany.
 Officials in the office of Provost Mar shal General Crowder immediately be- gan preparation of statistics showing results which may be expected if the draft is extended to various ages. be- tween IS and 45 years. the limits fixed in a bill by Senator France of Mary land, republican. It is expected that this information will be presented soon to the senate military committee which is considering the France bill.
 Early reports on the results of the reclassifcatiOn of men by local boards indicated that more than 250,000 men will be added to class one by this means. as against the original esti- mate of 100000. Operation of General Crowder's work or fight" regulations which become effective next July l also is expected to add to the total in the first class. Each district is ex- pected to have near the national aver age of 2S.7 per cent of its total regis tration in class one when the re-classi- fication has been completed.
 These estimates were pointed to to- day by some officials as bearing out their contention that there is no imme- diate necessity for changing the age limits. General Crowder. however. does not share this view. and recently told the senate military committee that extension of the age limits was necessary because at the planned rate of calls class one would be exhausted early next year.
 Members of congress from mining districts were informed today by Gen eral Crowder's office that there will be no reconsideration of the decision not to grant deferred Justification Co miners as a class. This will leave the matter of miners classifcatiOns with the local boards as heretofore and in some quarters the decision was be- lieved to have been influenced partly, at least. by the small number of fight ing men left in class one.
 Announcement of definite rulings on what are to be termed useful employ ment under the work or fight regula- tions is expected soon. An opinion upon the status of baseball players is now awaiting General Crowders' de- cision
 Amplifying his statement. withdraw ing his opposition to extending the draft ages. Mir. Baker said today that the only reason for his having hesi- tated to submit a recommendation to on the subject was a desire to learn the resulting effect upon vital industries of the country.
 The war secretary indicated that any recommendation he makes on the subject will include a reiteration of his original proposal that nineteen years be made the minimum limit MT Baker has never voiced an opinion as to the proper maximum limit since his first suggestion of twenty-siX years was rejected by congress.

Reports From Tabriz, Persia, Indicate Gross Violation of Neutrality by Ottom a n Troops
ADVICES ARE MEAGER
American Doctors and Nurses Thought to Have Escaped Before Arrival of Turkish Soldiers
By Review Leased wlrs)

WASHINGTON. June 19.-At-
 tacks by Turkish troops on the
 American consulate at Tabriz.
 Persia. and the footing of an
 American missionary hospital in
 that city. reported to the state de-
 partment today. was believed in
 some quarters here to presage
 the lcng anticipated declaration of
 the existence of a state of war be-
 tween the United States and the
 Ottoman empire.
 Diplomatic relations between the two governments have been suspended since April 20. 1917, when Turkey withdrew Abdul Hak Hussein Bey. who had been acting as charge of the Turkish embassy here since the com pulsOry retirement of the regular am bassadOr which followed his open crit icism of the United States government.
 Necessarily. American Ambassador Morgenthau was obliged to leave COnstantinOple and since that time the relations between the two govern ments have been just short of actual formal enmity.
 Recently there have been vigorous demands in congress for a declaration of a state of war between the United States and Turkey and Bulgaria. but President Wilson and the state de partment have not regarded this step as necessary or desirable. since there has been no actual collision between American and Turkish and Bulgarian troops.
 On the face of the reports from American Minister Caldwell at Teher- an. officials were inclined to believe that the sacking of the American hos pital. a Presbyterian institution. over the protest of the Spanish consul in charge as representative of American interests, furnished the necessary provOcation for open hcstilities be- tween America and Turkey.
 The advices. however. were meager and the minister explained that he was only transmitting reports of mat ters not of his own knowledge.
 American doctors and nurses who have been stationed in the hospital were believed to have left Tabriz be- fore the Turkish troops arrived. Cor don Paddock. the American consul in that city, reported to the department last May % that he and all of the and the British were pre-
 Some officials pointed out today that since the attacks on the consulate and hospital occurred in Persia. the United States first must hold the Persian gov ernment to account, as it is respOns- ible for the safety of foreigners and their property within its borders. How ever, because of the peculiar and un- certain relations between Turkey and Persia. the assertion by the former of he right of suZerainty over Persia md the recognized inability of the latter to resist the Turkish troops. .here is little doubt here that the government will hold that he responsibility for the outrages has passed tO Turkey and that if the first reports are substantiated the existence lf a state of war between Turkey and the United States must be declared.

The program was gwen with a mark

work of the advanced students was
of special interest. Miss Blanche Hill
