BRITISH UNABLE
TO STOP SINKING
OF GERMAN SHIPS
Terms of Armistice Prevented
Armed Guards on In
termed Vessels.

Washington, June 27-No effec-
tive measures could have been taken
by the British admiralty to prevent
scuttling of the German fleet at
Scapa Flow without violating the
terms of the armistice, said a state
ment issued by the British embassy
The fact that the ships were merely
interned and not surrendered, said
the statement, prevented the plac-
ing of armed guards on board.
Even had this been done, it was
said, it would not have been a guar
antee against sinking, because the
German crews, with their expert
knowledge of the complex valve
machinery, would have found it a
comparatively easy matter to open
the valves without detection.
1t was recommended to the allied
naval council by the naval adviser
of the British admiralty, the state
ment said. that the ar1nistice terms
provided for surrender instead of in
ternment of the German ships, but
the recommendation was overru,ed
by the council.
admiral Won Reuter- stated ver-
bally, that on his own responsibility
he had given orders for the ships
to be sunk, being under the impress
sion the armistice had ceased on
Saturday." the statement said.

GRAIN CONTROL
COMMITTEE TOBE
NAMED IN OMAHA
Hines Announces Permit Sys-

Washington, June 27.-Definite
plans for controlling shipments of
grain to prevent railroad conges-
ton and excess accumulation at
primary markets involving a dual
system of individual and blanket
permits were announced Friday
night by Director General Hines.
Grain control committees will be
appointed in Duluth, Minneapolis,
St. Louis and Omaha, to administer
control of grain movements to the
principal markets in their respec-
tive territories. The Jurisdiction of
the Omaha committee will include
Council Bluffs, Detroit, Toledo,
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis,
Wichita and Fort Worth.
Each commission will consist of
three members. it was said, two
representing the railroad admins
tration and one the United States
grain corporations transportation
division.
The movement of grain to pri-
mary markets will be controlled by
issuance of blanket permits to the
railroads, while control of the
movements between the markets as
we'll as from all points to Atlantic
or gulf ports will be exercised
through the issuance of individual
permits to the shipper.

HUNS WILL SIGN PEACE TERMS TODAY
RESISTANCE TO
ALLIES PLANNED
BY SCHEIDEMANN
Would Have Refused Peace
Treaty. Says Correspondent
of Tageblatt.

Berlin, June 27-(By the Associ-
ated ss.)-The German govern
ment headed by Philip Scheidt-
mann had planned to refuse to sign
the peace treaty and to permit the
allied troops to March into Ger
many as far as the Elbe, where it
would be attacked by strong Ger
man forces, the Danzig correspond
ent of the Tageblatt declares in
dispatch describing the details OF
secret plan to create separate
state in northeastern Germany.
The plan failed because of jealous
les and differences of opinion oe-
tween the government and the army
leaders, the correspondent says.
A report from, Geneva Thursday
night said Herr Scheidemann had
arrived in Switzerland after cross
ing the frontier ,on foot.
The last proposal made by the
conspirators planning to oppose the
allies, it is said, was to ask Poland
to combine with eastern Germany
in the formation of an independent
republic. The offer, it is declared.
was rebuffed by the Poles, WHO
asked why it had not been offered
10 years ago.

Dealers in St. Louis
Advised to Contest
Wartime Prohibition

St. Louis, June 27.-John P. Pen
sa, president of the St. Louis Retail
Liquor Dealers, announced he had
advised the 800 members of the as
sociation to continue the sale of all
liquors after July in an effort to
test the enforcement of wartime
prohibition. The decision of the
United States court of appeals in
New York, modifying the injunction
against enforcement by district at
torneys, he said, would have no ef-
feet on the stand of local saloon
keepers, as they expect only a few
arrests will be made as a basis for
test cases.
Approximately 500 saloon-keepers
have applied for new licenses to
cover the last six months of the
year. These applications, however,
are regarded as conditional on the
lifting of wartime prohibition.

RESIGNATION OF
HEGG, DEMANDB BY
CHIEF EBERSTEIN
Chauffeur to Be Ousted Be-
cause of Testimony in
Brown Raid Case.

The first of series of expected
retaliations against police officers
who testified unfavorably for Detec-
tives Armstrong and Herdzina was
announced last night when Police
Captain Henry Heitfeld ordered
Chauffeur Edward Hegg to resign.
Hegg at the recent hearing of
Detectives Armstrong and Herd
zina testified that the two officers
were drunk the night of the raid on
the Brown flats, 2l06 Cass street.
Other policemen who testified
against >the two officers will be
asked for their designations, it is
understood.
Numerous conferences between
Armstrong, Herdzina and the po-
lice heads have led to the belief III
police circles that attacks will be
made and charges filed dealing with
Hegg's personal character.
Record Without Blemish.
Brother officers say Hegg's Of
fetal record is without blemish. He
was appointed by Ringer.
The demand for Hegg's resigna-
ton is similar to demands made fol-
lowing the trial of former Detective
Danbaum, when men who testified
favorab1y for Danbaum were asked
to quit the force.
Sergt. Edward Vanous, present
head of the morals squad, is under
stood to be one of the men slated
for demotion or resignation, as a
result of his testimony at the re-
cent hearing.
Captain Heitfeld said last night
the orders askingHegg to resign
came from Police Grief Eberstein
Hegg declared last night he would
not resign unless charges were filed
against him and proved.
Rumors affecting the demotion or
forced resignation of Hegg, Vanous
and Joseph Potach, another morals
squad officer, have been current at
the police station for several days.
Chief Eberstein could not be
reached last night to discuss the
matter and Police Commissioner
Ringer refused to answer any ques-
tions.
Mayor Peers From Cell.
Mayor Smith was in Jail last night,
locked in a cell, too, and looking out
just like person who tract, res laws
and ordinances.
He was taken to the cell occupied
by Tom Brown, son of the woman
locked UP by police for being the
owner of apartments where alleged
disorderliness was taking place.
The mayor wanted to see if Tom
Brown could have peered as far as
the spot where the turnkey pushed
his mother as she assembled the
stairs to the upper tier of cells.
Mr.. Smith did not announce his
finding when he returned from his
visit to the cell. He was accom-
panied by Captain Heitfeld, who
still insists Brown couldn't have
seen the turnkey push his mother.
After the mayor had left the sta
ton a copy of the "whitewash' find
ings of the recent Herdzina-Arm-
strong trial was tackled up on the
Dolice bulletin board.

boxes are rented out for the storage
Of whisky and wines. The company
is frequently obliged to sell the con-

directors of the company would be
to consume the liquor as compen-
