WAGE INCREASES
OF 20 PER CENT
ADVISED M'AD00
Committee FavOrs Advance for
Railroad Workers of
All Glasses

Washington, D. c., May 7.-Director
General McAdoo will announce soon
his decision on recommendations OF
the railroad wage committee, which
we're said in we'll informed quarters
today to propose an average ~ per.
cent advance in pay for all classes OF
railroad employees. If Mr.. McAdoo
follows the suggestions of the com
mission approximately s26O,ooo,ooo
will be added to the payrolls OF the ma
tions railroads.
Strong pressure is said to have been
brought to bear on Director General
Meade to modify some of the com
missions recommendations especially
effecting the four great brotherhoods'
Mr.. McAdoo is not bound to folio"
the advice of the commission and can
increase or reduce their recommends
tions as he sees fit. The commission
has followed it's announced policy OF
giving the highest paid unions tne
lowest rate of advance, holding that
relief is needed most by the men VINO
have been barely making ends meet or
perhaps going in debt on the wages
they receive.
Apparently none of the commls'
sion's recommendations has met the
reouests of unions themselves, whlcn
ranged as high as forty, fifty and sixty
percent.

MAURICE CHARGE
TO BE EXAMINED
BY TWO JUDGES
Bonar Law Tells Commons the
Charge of Mask Over Army
Activities to be Judicial
ASQUITH OPPOSES PLAN
Parliamentary Traditions Brok-
en-; Law Stands Firm for
Secrecy of War Moves
ASQUITH OPPOSES PLAN

London, May 7.-Andrew Bona,
Law, chancellor of the excheQuer, whc
IS spokesman for the war cabinet ir
the house of Commons, since the pre-
mier's duties in managing the wal
do not give him time for constant at
tendance in parliament, told the house
this afternoon that the cabinet had de-
cided to entrust to a commission OF
two judges the investigation of the
charges General Frederick B. Maurice
former chief director of military oper
ations at the British war Office made
declaring the cabinet had deceived the
country in parliament about the army
in France.
Ex-Premier Asquith, always a sup
porter Of parliamentary traditions, led
the faction in house which insisted
that the investigation be made by a
parliamentary committee.
Insists on Judicial Probe.
Mr.. Bonar Law stood firm for a jud
icial inquiry, on the ground that the
deepest secrets of the conduct of the
war were involved and the cabinet
did not wish to reveal them to a com
mittee which night not safeguard as
the judges would.
There will be a debate on the ques'
ton Thursday and in the meantime II
passes into the realms of speculation
Talk was rife about West Minister
that the government may be over
thrown on a test vote on this tech
nical phase of the question.
OF all the remarkable and unexpect'
ed events which the war has evolved
none surpasses the situation precipi
tated by one of the most distinguished
generals of the British army. General
Maurice acted on the plea that my
duty ase,a- citizen must override ny
duty as soldier" .....
ss. A Very Grave Step. "''@''
1t is needless to say that this was
direct challenge to all rules OF mil.
itary discipline and technically more
fragrant offense in time Of war than
in peace times. No one knows this
better than General Maurice, who de-
scribed it his letter as "a very grave
step" and indicated his willingness to
suffer the consequences.
Mr.. Bonar Law refused to give as
surances that the disciplinary meas
ures against General Maurice would
be suspended pending the result Of
the investigation.
General Maurice has strong support
from the portion of the army behind
him; how strong remains to be seen.
Critics of the Premier have accused
him of trying to shoulder upon the
army what they allege have been his
mistakes and a newspaper contro-
versy has been going on since the be-
ginning of the German offensive,
which may be described as the army
against the politicians, the gist OF
which has been that the war cabinet
has over ridden it's military advis'
ers in matters of strategy and espec-
tally in regard to the military de-
mands for men on the western front.
This quarrel has come to a crisis.
which now is likely to be settled and
the air cleared.
General Maurice is one Of the fore
most military authorities and mill
tary historians of the war.

NOT FAULT OF
HER COMMANDER
Boat Was Old, Failure to Heed
Storm Warning Tributary
Cause
JUSTIFY ILL CONDITION
Press of More Important Work
and Need of Boat Excuses
Lack of Repairs
JUSTIFY ILL CONDITION

Washington, D. c., May Loss OF
the navy tug Cherokee off Cape Hen
lopen, Del, last February 26, with 2S
men is blamed by naval court OF
inquiry largely upon the age and con
dition of the craft and the failure OF
her commanding officer to report that
she was overloaded and to heed a
storm warning. The report of the
board was made public today by the
navy department and a copy sent to
the house naval committee in re-
sponse to resolution by Represen'
tative Lufkin, of Massachusetts.
y The report said: 1.-The failure to
make all the major repairs he was
justified in by the press of more i'm
portant work at the navy yard phil
adelphia), and the urgent need OF the
services of the boat and for these rea'
sons no blame attaches to any one
for such failure" 4.
Ask No Further Probe.
The hoard recommended no further
proceedings be taken, it being OF the
opinion that the death OF any indl'
vidual due to the laundering OF the
Cherokee was occasioned by an act of
duty in which he was engaged when
it occurred, and was not the result
of his own misconduct"
Two separate investigations of the
sinking Of the tug were made, the
first by naval board appointed by
the commandant of the fourth naval
district. The findings of this board
did not differ materially from that OF
the special board ordered by Secre'
tary Daniels. The second inquiry was
instigated because the board first ap'
pointed did not examine witnesses
under oath.
The. Cherokee was q years DID,
built ofiron and was 12O feet long.
She ran into a heavy storm OF the
Delaware coast and after an all night
battle, in which water went below
through leaks in the decks, doors and
bunker plates, she foundered, only
ten of her crew being saved. They
were picked up by British steamer

Senate Military Committee viii
Reopen Its Investi-
CATION

Washington, D. c., May 1.-Two
new investigations of aircraft produc
ton are about to be launched. While
President Wilson and the cabinet
were hearing today Attorney General
Gregory's plans for the inquiry into
charges of graft and mismanagement
ordered by the, President, Chairman
Chamberlain Of the senate military
committee ANNOUNCED that the com
mittee proposed, to reopen it's investi
CATION and "pytit's finger on the men
responsible for, deficiencies in the avi
alton program ..=,-,'', '.- .
Meanwhile the house military com
mittee, considering the fifteen billion
dollar army Appropriation bill with a
billion for aviation, virtually complet
ed brief aircraft inquiry OF it's own
After hearing Secretary Baker and his
chief aides for aviation, the commit
teemen were agreed the situation did
not call for an investigation by them
and leading members said after the
meeting they were convinced both
that there had been no criminal liza
bility for delays and deficiencies IN
the past, and that the present status
of war department plans was satls
factory.
Frierson to Probe
The Attorney General spent an hour
with the President. Later he announc'
ed Assistant Attorney General VII
liam L. Frierson had been assigned to
conduct a thorough inquiry with the
assistance of other lawyers OF the de'
partment and special agents OF the
bureau of investigation.
One of the first steps of Mr.. Frler'
son will be to examine the report SUD-
mitted to the President by Gutzon
Borglum, the sculptor, and to call up
on Mr. Borglum for evidence to sup.
port his sweeping charges of graft and
proGerman intrigue.
Apparently the request of Major
General Squier, chief signal officer OF
the army, for a military court OF in
ouiry to establish the truth or falsity
of Borglum's accusations against
army officers, still is before President
Wilson. Some officers think the Presl'
dent will decide the investigation by
the department of justice is sufficient,
but the feeling at the war department
aparently is that, charges having been
made rejecting upon the honesty and
LOYALTY of officers, they have right to
expect military court to deal with
them. ....
