Dry Dock Company, Of Perth Amboy.
N. J.
Alleges Widespread Plot.
Rs result of the investigation OF
Green's alleged attempt to exempt
himself from service, departmental
agents today said that a plot to secure
large sums Of money from the Gov
ernment under shipping contracts to
be secured from the United States
Shipping Board had been uncovered
and the men would later be charged
on these grounds.
Agents say that Green had been in
correspondence with the Shipping
oBard for more than six months try
ing to obtain contracts involving
about $4,000, 900. The Perth Amboy
Dry Dock Company, under the con-
tracts thus secured, was to build ships
for the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
According to the statements of
agents of the Government, Travis
was to have received 500, 900 for his
share, Joseph S1.50 a ton for each
ship built under contract, and Green
to receive a responsible position with
the company. which, agents say,
would have left him free to follow
his own devices, since it would have
required but a few minutes of his
time to discharge the duties he would
have assumed.
The warrant charges that this
position with the company was to
have been nominal and only for the
purpose OF securing for Green a de-
ferred classification as q war-worker
in essential industry.
Mcdonald, mentioned in the war
rants, Is said to be a Chicago banker,

Surroundings Attractive.

On the northwest corner of w and
Sixteenth streets Is the famous Hen
derson Castle. Directly opposite the
hotel site, on Sixteenth street, is the
splendid home OF DR.. Lorin johnson,
and at Sixteenth and V streets is the
house in which Charles E. Hughes
lived when a justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States and when
nominated by the Republican party
as its candidate for President in
1916. To the east OF the site, on New
Hampshire avenue, is the Northum-
berland apartment house.
There will be an entrance on Six
teenth street, but the main frontage
will be on w street, overlooking Me-
ridian Hill Park. There will be an
areaway OF wide proportions for this
entrance, in which will be q beauti-
full artificial garden with flowers,
wide driveway, and fountains. The
frontake on w street will be 375 feet.
The hotel will be OF REINFORCED
concrete. in the order Of the wash
ington Hotel will be six stories on
Sixteenth street and fve stories on
other streets. It will be flreproof
throughout and fitted with every
modern hotel equipment and appoint
ment
There will be 431 large rooms, built
In pairs, SO that there will be an
apartment effect, with bath between,
and running water in each room. The
purpose is to assist in meeting the
housing needs of the city by arrang-
ing the rooms in suites.

Hotel il Needed.
It was not hard to convince the
Capital Issues Committee, which has
a firm grip on the financing of all
new and existing developments in the
country, that the hotel is a necessity
in this city, and will fill a great need.
Washington hotels have for months
been taxed beyond capacity with long
waiting lists. Thousands OF people
having business here have been forced
in the last few months to take hotel
accommodations in Baltimore and
travel backward and forward. SEN
ators and Representatives in Con-
gress have found IL impossible to get
accommodations desired by all of
them. Diplomatic representatives of
foreign countries, United States Gov
ernment officials, army and navy Of
ncers, all classes, in fact, have en-
countered Inconvenience because of
the lack of hotel facilities.
The property upon which the hotel
Is to be erected formerly belonged to
the Patten estate, OF which the widow
of the late Gen. II. c. Corbin is one
OF the heirs. The negotiation for its
sale to F. c. levin was conducted by
John Weaver last winter.
Mr.. levin built the Washington
Hotel in record time. He has a com
plete organization for hotel construc-
tion and will lose no time when he
gets started.

B|GHOTEL ON
S|XTEENTHST.
TAUTHORZED
BY BILL PRICE.

A great new hotel for Washington,
one of the finest OF its kind in the
world, is assured by the action OF the
Capital Issues Committee OF the Gov
ernment in authorizing the financing
that will be necessary. This action
likewise assures priority OF shipments
of material and the completion of the
structure, probably to be known as
the Sixteenth Street Hotel. by early
spring. IL all present plans are car
ried out.
The Sixteenth Street Hotel Company
has been incorporated, with a capital
stock OF $1,600. 900. and the organiza-
tion has been perfected by the cleo
ton of John Weaver, former local coal
administrator and prominent in real
estate circles, as president. E. F. Coll
laday, Washington lawyer, is secre-
tary; w. T. Galliher. president OF the
American National Bank, Is treasurer,
and F. C. levin, large stockholder,
who built the Washington Hotel, at
Fifteenth and F streets, is to be the
builder.
To Break Ground Soon.
The plans for financing have prog
ressed SO far that the expectation is
that ground for the hotel will be
broken within ten days, the purpose
being to have the hotel ready for &C.
cupancy by March /, IL possible.
As heretofore told in The Times,
the huge structure, which will prob
ably cost several hundred thousand
dollars in excess of the capital stock,
viii be located on the square bound
ed by V and w streets, Sixteenth
street and New Hampshire avenue,
The entire square, with the exception
of the plot occupied by st. Andrews
Church, will be used. There are
10000 square feet OF ground.
The location is believed by the ar
chitects, Carere & Hastings, of New
York, to be one OF the most beautiful
in the world. To the north, Just
across W. street, is Meridian Hill
Park, now being developed. Thomas
Hastings, OF the architectural firm
which made the plans, is a member
of the Fine Arts Commission for the
Identification Of Washington, and he
personally supervised the plans so
that they. will Mt in with the plans
for Meridian HILL

CHILD'S TONGUE BECOMES COATED
 IF CONSTIPATED
When cross, feverish and sick give California
 Syrup of Figs"

Children love this fruit laxative" |" and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
 A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result is, they become tightly clogged with
 waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
 system full of cold, has sore throat, stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoonful of California Syrup of Figs" and in few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the system, and you have a well, playful
 child again.
 Millions of mothers give "Califor- mia Syrup of Figs because it is per- fectly harmless; children love it, and 1t never fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels
 Ask your druggist for a bottle of California Syrup of Figs" ,"
 which has full directions for babies, 1 children of all ages and for grown
 ups plainly printed on the bottle. Be-
 ware of commercials sold here. Get 1 she genuine, made by California Fig ! Syrup Company" Refuse any other
 kind with contempt.-Adv.

THE SIMPLON TUNNEL.

The Simp1on tunnel, the longest railway tunnel in the world, was com menced 20 years ago today, Nov. 13, 1898, and was completed in 1905. It is 1213 miles in length, and gives France and Switzerland direct cons munication by rail with Milan, Italy. The Simplon tunnel, however, is des- tined to lose it's supremacy as the worlds longest tunnel when the Canadian Pacific railway completes its great project of Kicking Horse Pass, in the Rocky Mountains. The eastern portal of this tunnel, 16 miles in length, will be in Alberta, and the western portal in British Columbia. It will be about 31a miles longer than the Simplon.
 One of the most wonderful railway tunnels in the world is the Trans Andean, in South America, which was opened in 1905. This great tunnel, which affords direct mail communica- ton between Argentina and Chile, is only five miles in length, but it sur passes all others in being 12,000 feet above sea level.

PANAMA'S HEAD
 DELIVERS FINE SPEECH ON TERMS

Panama Nov. 13-After reading the terms of the armistice between the allies and Germany and the ad- dress delivered by President Wilson at Washington, President Porras of Panama, said on Monday:
 "The common victory means more to Latin America, perhaps, than even
 those who took a more active part in the struggle
 The emphasis that has been laid upon the rights of small nations and upon the the right of self determina- ton has been so great that these Ideas are established in the interna- | ttonal code. Along wiwth this goes | the idea of the broader international ism, which means that all nations wiL | draw closer together than heretofore, | without the distrust that was inevita- ble in the old days when information al!sm too frequently was mixed with exploitation.
 1 The magnaminity with which the allied nations are preparing to pro
 vide food for the peopleo of Germany and Austria is the best guarantee ol l he new order of inteFnational rela- | tions.'

CzECHO- O-SLOvAKS TURN BOL SHEv|KI IN TWO BATTLES

Nladivostok, Nov. 13-(Correspon- dence of The Associated Press)-A naval battle on Lake Baikal, Siberia, and land battle near Masovaia on the eastern shore of the lake, broke the Bolsheviki resistance along the Trans-Siberian railway at one time virtually cleaning the route of the CzechO -Slovaks from the south of Russia to the Pacific. In the land battle Colonel Oushakoff, commander of the Cossacks cooperating with the CzeChs and Slovaks, was killed but the Bolsheviki and the Hungarian war prisoners cooperating with them were so badly beaten that they were never able to rally again.
 The Czechs and their Cossack al- lies were moving eastward along the railway line toward Irkutsk but were blocked at the southern end of Lake Baikal when the Bolsheviki blew up one of the railway tunnels running . through the mountains there.
 While the Czechs and Slovaks went around the southern end of the lake, Colonel Oushakoff captured two lake steamers, fitted them with guns and ch75 filled with Cossacks. Several Bolshe- wiki craft including two large lake steamers attacked the expedition but shot from one of the Cossack ves- sels set afire one Of the Bolshevik craft and the, others fled
 i Landing at Masovaia on the east shore of the lake, Colonel Oushakoft attacked the enemy as they were maGsing for the expected assault up on the Czechs and Slovaks approach ing from the south end of the lake.
 The battle which ensued was the most desperate of all those attending the eastward progress of the Czechs Colonel Oushakoff fell a victim tc his own error in mistaking a group ] of Bolsheviki for his own men. They shot him down as he walked up tc them holding out his hand.
 i Six thousand was the estimate o1 the number of Bolsheviki and three thousand war prisoners, killed in the battle. In addition two thousand prisoners were taken. Many of these
 latter paid the penalty of the killing of Oushakoff. In parties of four ol five hundred they were moved dowI
 by machine gun fire.
 When, however, General Gaida,. the -SlOvak commander. learned of, this occurrence he issued order
 against any further executions with
 out trial by court martial. As thu
 result of this battle the Czecho-Slo walks captured forty trains of provi
 sions and ammunition. The wa, through to Chita was opened by tn flight of the Bolsheviki and Genera Gaida and his officers moved east ward thereafter without serious op position.

HOUSE PRAISED LLOYD GEORGE

London, Nov. 13-Col. Edward M. House, special representative Of the United States government, sent the following message from Paris to Da- vid Lloyd George the British Prime Minister, on the cessation of hostil;- ties.
 Sincere congratulations. No one has done more to bring about this splendid victory than you"
 To this the Prime Minister re- piled:
 Many thanks for your generous telegram Nothing contributed more to the victory than the prompt re- sponse of the President to the appeal I made to him for American help in those critical days"
