FLEET CONTROL BY REVOLUT|0NISTS
 MAY INTERFERE
 WITH ARM|ST|CE

Washington, November 12.-Con- trol of the German fleet by revolu- tionists, factions of whom are re- ported to have urged resistance to the allies and United States, may inter- fere with the carrying out of the amended armistice provision that ves- sells designated to be interned be ready to leave German ports seven days after cessation of hostilities. At the end of the seven-day period which will expire at midnight next Sun day, the designated units of the fleet the armistice providesi must be com pletely disarmed. Prompt action even under normal conditions would be re- | quired of the German naval forces to 1 disarm vessels of the battle cruiser and battleship type within seven days, naval experts here said. In some quarters to- night fear was expressed that with the German navy in disorganized condition owing to the revolution. the necessary I preparations for turning over the ves- seis might not be completed in the period 1 specified.
 ACTION NOT INDICATED 1 Action to be taken by the allies and l the United States in event the vessels | were not prepared for surrender at the 1 expiration of the allowed period was not indicated tonight by officials. In such an event only two sources were regarded as open-either extension by agreement oi the associated governments of the time period or forcibie seizure Should forci- ble seizure be necessary it was thought resistance by the disorganized crews would be hopeless enterprise In discussing today the naval terms of the armistice Secretary Daniels said the allied and American navies were prepared fully to deal with any situa- ton that might arise. He said that no intimation of the reported defiance from the revolutionists had come through any naval channel,
 NO RELAXATION Pending completion of the surrender of the ships demanded and disarmins. oi others, and particularly while any SUD- marines remain in German hands. Sec retary Daniels said there will be no re- taxation in the protection of troop ships and other vessels.
 Eventual disposition to be made of the Austrian and German ships acquired by | surrender has not been indicated by of- 1 ficials here. It is regarded as certain that the supreme war council at Yer sailles worked out . definite project in this reopect which will soon Dc disclosed.

Cotton Escapes Tax
Under New Revenue
Bill From the House

Washington, D. c., Sept. 20
Cotton, one of the major crops O.
the United States, has escaped al
taxation in the new house revenue
bill. thanks to the southern con
gressmen.
The question Of taxing cotton was
raised during the discussion OF the
$S,000,000,000 revenue bill by Repre-
sentative J. Hampton Moore oil
Pennsylvania, republican member OF
the ways and means committee, who
made a fight to have cotton also
taxed.
He suggested that as more than
100000 bales were produced in
1917, a tax OF So per bale would
produce $33,000,000. and relieve the
tax burden on other commodities
The motion was beaten by a solid
democratic vote.
There is nothing personal or sec
tional in this proposition" said Mr..
Moore, in statement today.
1T is simply a question of levyine
taxes equitably very much as was
suggested by President Wilson in
his address to congress.
Cotton has been On the protec-
tive tariff list and also on the taxable
list. 1t was protected by a tariff
duty from 1898 to 1866. Three cents
pound was then levied against
cotton imports. That helped to
build up the wonderful growth OF
cotton in the United States. 1t has
been upon the free list. however,

Mrs. Green Swears
Priest Gave to Her
Stockings and Gloves

Norfolk, Neb., Sept. 26,-Testify-
ing today in the case of the Rev.
William Windolph, pastor OF the
Catholic church at Creighton, Neb.,
who is on trial in federal court here,
charged with making seditious state
ments, Mrs. Mary Donahue Green,
member OF the defendants con-
gregation said that the accused
priest gave her love poems and
wrote her an improper letter. The
government also introduced in evil
dence silk stockings and silk gloves,
which, Mrs. Green testified, the
priest had given to her, but which
she said she had never worn.
Anonymous letters attacking Faith
er Windolph's character, which Mrs.
Green admitted she wrote, were in
troduced by the defense in an effort
to show Mrs. Green had a bitter
personal feeling against the defend
ant.
Before adjournment Mrs. Green
admitted under cross examination
that she knew nothing of Sister
Hortencia' moral character except
what was told her by Father Win
dolph.
In reply to questions by Assistant
United States Attorney Saxton, she
said the typewriter on which she
wrote anonymous letters attacking
the character of Father Windolph
and Sister Hortencia was secured by
her in order to learn now to use it
and in order that she might leave
Creighton because the defendant
had been annoying her.
On March q, 1917, she testified
on redirect examination, that the de-
fendant called her to the back of his
house and then induced her to go
into the house and then he bolted
the door. She then testified that the
defendant wanted her to write a
letter of apology to the mother
superior for writing the anonymous
letters and when she refused to do
this she said he slapped her.
"He said that if I told or reported
him he would call out his army and
mob me-" the witness said.
He had letter from the arch
bishop naming him to be superin-
tendent of schools in this diocese"
she testified, land he brought it to
me and showed it to me and said if |
would move to Omaha he would see
that was we'll taken care of and he
would accept the position
At this time Mr.. Saxton asked
the witness: DO you know anything
about Sister Hortencia except what
Father Windolph told your"
mo. Nothing further than that
replied the witness.
