had there been a vestige of truth in them
President Wilson would certainly have
been aware. That the President was
certain they were groundless, was dem
onstrated in the fact that he had
made the custodian of alien property
attorney general of the United States.
In an interview following the clash
on the floor, Senator Underwood ex-
pressed the opinion that the figh.
against Palmer resulted from an amend
ment to an appropriate bill which
empowered the custodian not only to
take charge of alien property but to
sell it and retain the money! in the
treasury of the United tSates.
Il prepared that amendment" con-
tinued Senator Underwood, under the
terms of the original bill, the custo-
dian could take over German property
and hold it in trust for German owners
Under my amendment, the custodian
was instructed to take over such pro-
perty, sell It, and turn the money,
through Liberty bonds, into shot and
shell with which to fight the Germans.
When this amendment was before
committee, Senator Frelinghuysen op-
posed it. When it was on the floor of
the Senate for passage, his vote was
the only vote of about 20 members
present cast against it. The amendment
resulted in the enrichment of the
American treasury by $3.50, 100000 and
that sum, taken from Germans certainly
aided in winning the war"
Senator Underwood stated that he
had answered Frelinguysen because his
charges, having been investigated and
found to be groundless, seemed inor-
dinately unfair. There is the warmest
personal friendship between the Ala
bama Senator and the attorney general

French PRESS IS
COMMENTING ON
ACTS IN TURKEY
BY Associated Press

Paris, Sunday. August 31.-The
French press continues to comment on
American activities in Turkey, the con-
SENTATIVE newspapers particularly
criticising the Investigating methods of
the American mission composed of
Charles r. Crane and DR.. Henry Church
hill King.
The Echo De Paris complains that
British troops were left in the area
under investigation while in the case
of upper Silesia it was considered neces-
sary by the peace conference to ex-
clude German troops in order to in
sure free and untrammeled plebis-
cite. The presence of British troops,
the newspapers hold, unquestionably
exercised influence upon the population.
The Echo De Paris declares that the
American mission made most hurried
inquiry in every region where French
sentiment displayed itself.
The Constantinople correspondent of
the Eclair says that the American mis-
sion left Turkey without having OBJ
tanned precise responses to its in
conclusion.
Frankly speaking the correspon-
dent adds. "the Americans did not re-
ceive a very cordial reception in Tur-
key"
The project of Constantinople, ac-
cording to the correspondent, called on

Senate Subcommittee
Suggests a Plan For
Prevention of Strikes
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, September s.-(Special)
The subcommittee of the Senate inter-
state commerce committee, in report
ing in form of a bill the result of it's
many -months investigation of the rail-
road problem, offered for the thought
of the American public plan for the
prevention of strikes and lockouts.
In all probability, it will encounter
the opposition of owners of railroads.
on the one hand, and employees of rail-
roads on the other, and 1t very likely
will have the approval of the American
public.
The plan of the Subcommittee is not
entirely new. 1t was originated by
Senator Underwood of Alabama 1t
was proposed in the form of an amend
ment to the Adamson s-hour day bill
which was forced through Congress
under threat, by railroad brotherhoods
of nation wide strike during time of
war. Under the terms of the Under
wood amendment, there could not have
been strike or lockout on the part of
employees or employers until an estab-
lished court of authority had passed on
the merits and dement's of the exist
ing differences. The Underwood amend
ment was rejected. for the representa-
tives of the brotherhoods, who sat in
the galleries in supreme authority
ordered its rejection.
1t is now again live issue before the
country, and one which will cause COS
sip and speculation throughout the
United States. If the public, long suffer.
ing from the difficulties between en-
ployer and employee, asserts itself the
proposed legislation will probably pre-
vail. Senator Underwood will support
the bill-though he will have amend
ments to offer-and he believes that the
committee as a whole will support it and
Congress enact it. On the vital problem
concerned-the entire question of trans
portation-he will deliver an address on
the floor probably tomorrow
The fixation of wages by authority of
law rather than by strike, lockout and
violence has never been adopted by any
country. 1t is believed. however, that
had such law prevailed everywhere for
many years living conditions would have
been greatly improved Senator Under
wood believes that had Congress accept
ed his amendment when it enacted the
Adamson bill the country would have
Jared better-in its domestic affairs
during the time of its war against Ger

UNDERWOOD STATES
FREl|NGHUYSEN IS
UNFAIR IN CHARGE
Fight on Palmer Brought on
by Amendment by Under
wood to Alien Prop
erty Bill
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, September S.-tSpecial)
When Senator Frelinghuysen of New
Jersey, attempted to answer Attorney
General Palmers contention that the
senator's opposition to his confirmation
had been inspired by former owners of
German property in the United States,
Senator Underwood of Alabama inter-
posed very strong remarks, yesterday
afternoon.
Without violating the rules of debate
to the extent of attempting to prove
that Frelinghuysen was actuated di-
rectly by his regard for Germans of
his district who lost property as result
of the custodian's activity, Senator
Underwood went so close to that charge
that the air was electrified for several
moments.
Frelinghuysen had repeated charges
that he had made to the committee
which Investigated Palmer's fitness
charges all of which fell down of their
own weight. senator Underwood re-
ferred to the weakness of the charges
under investigation. and declared that

Nearer Solution

Nashville, September 3.-With the
discovery of plainly visible blood
stained finger print on the automobile
in which Robin ]. Cooper, young Nash
vile attorney. was murdered last
Thursday night near Belle Meade
farm, police late Wednesday night
stated they were nearer a solution
of the mystery than they have been
since the body was found in Rich
land creek Saturday morning.
The finger print was found on the
rear right door of the machine and
can be plainly seen with the eye at
a distance of several feet. An exam
ination of the automobile showed other
finger prints but the one most dis
tinct is a blood-stained print on the
side of the door which authorities be-
lieve was made by the murderer in re-
moving the slain man from the car.

covered automobile, are also being ex-
amined for finger prints. The papers are
also being held for an additional clue
which authorities say might prove to ad-
vantage.
Chief Deputy Robert A. Moore, who is
in possession of the papers, said Wednes-
day night that he felt certain that new
developments would be brought out
Thursday in connection with the papers,
but refused to reveal his secret

HUDDLESTON OPPOSED
TO FEDERAL RESERVE ACT

Washington, September ESPECIALLY
To the bill amending the federal reserve
act so as to permit national banks to
invest per cent of their capital stock
in companies incorporated to export
American products, Representative Hud-
dleston of the Ninth Alabama district,
expressed opposition this afternoon.
The fact that under the amendment the
banks would be permitted to make fur
tier use of deposits belonging to the peo-
pie, seemed to be the basis of the Hud-
dleston opposition He expressed the be-
lief that the amendment would enable
the rich to Cypress the people by means
of their own money.
The treasury officials. including Gov
ernor Harding of the federal reserve
board, favor the amendment in the belief
that it would facilitate the resumption of
American trade a normal basis and
thus reduce the cost of living.

Mr.. Crane at the head of delegation
of citizens and in reply to an inquiry
whether the Turks preferred the new
or old regime said that both the young
Turks af the committee of union and
progress and the old Turks of the Abdul
Hamid regime were condemned. What
was wanted, he declared, was reforms
and to this end the Turks needed the
moral aid of the great powers, such
as Great Britain and America.
The correspondent asserts that the
placing of Great Britain first in order
was not inadvertent, as the idea of
British mandate is gaining ground in
Turkey.

for the past few days has made the
Capital anything but a summer resort
Is one OF the alluring prospects held
out as the result of a trip to Glen
Echo Park. Just a few moments after

is left behind, and for about twenty
minutes the car speeds along the bank
of the Potomac, the prettiest car ride
the Capital boasts Of. The resort it
self, situated on a bluff high up over
the river and with q wealth of shade
trees, catches every breeze. For the
dancing set this is OF particular inter
est, for the big pavilion at Glen Echo
is built with all four sides open, and
even in summer weather the floor is
crowded nightly. The music by Mills
Orchestra leaves little to be desired,
and dancing is a feature at the resort

County Defles Tax Order.

The County Commissioners of Frederick
county last Monday voted to refuse to
comply with the order Of the State Tax
Department to reassess all properties in
Frederick county that have changed hands
since January /. 1918. This action was
taken upon the advice Of the attorney to
the Commissioners, At a conference in
Baltimore last week between the Commits
sioners and their attorney and the State
Tax Commission the County Commission
ers were given until Monday to proceed
with the new reassessment. After decid-
ing not to comply with the instructions
from the Tax Department the Commits
sioners addressed letter to the Tax Com
mission setting forth reasons why the
order was not obeyed.
1t is expected that legal action will be
taken which will bring a clash between
the State and county officials. The County
Commissioners have fortified themselves
with arguments and declare that they
will fight the State Tax Department in
court to a finish. 1t is understood that
about 500 properties are due for a re-
assessment under the plan Of the State
Tax Department. The order Of the Tax
Commission is to tax properties that have
changed hands since January l. 1918. to
their sales value. In some instances this
would increase the present assessment so

Conference On Special Tax.

The Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission of Maryland, composed of William
I. S. Curtis. 7. Howard Duckett and Emory
H. Boeley, held conference here last week
with County Treasurer Berry E. Clark in
regard to the special tax authorized by an
act of the Maryland Legislature to raise
funds to create a sinking fund for the
gradual redemption Of the $4,000 in
bonds recently issued by the commission
and to pay the interest on the bonds as it
falls due. The bonds were issued to meet
the expense of making surveys and other
work preliminary to installing proposed
water and sewerage systems and to pay the
salaries of the members and employees of
the commission. 1t is proposed to raise
something like $4,000 year by a special
tax against real estate and personal prop
erty in those sections of Montgomery and
Prince Georges counties lying within the
Washington suburban sanitary district.
In this county about IS per cent of Be-
thesda district. 80 per cent of Wheaton
district and 10 per cent of Rockville dis
trict is within the sanitary district. Esti-
mating the taxable basis Of this area to
be about 100000 900. the special tax rate
against the property in this county would
be about l-2 cents on each 500 of prop
orty. which would yield about $1,000 a
year.

Victory Loan Plea BY President
Wilson Urges Redemption
OF Promises.


For two anxious years the American
people have striven to fulfill the task of
saving our civilization. By the exertion
of unmeasured power they have quickly
won the victory without which they would
have remained in the field until the last
resource had been exhausted. Bringing
to the contest strength of spirit made
doubly strong by the righteousness of their
cause, they devoted themselves unswerv-
ingly to the prosecution of their undertake
ing. in the full knowledge that no conquest
lay in their path excepting the conquest
of right.
Today the world stands freed from the
threat Of militarism which has so long
weighed upon the spirit and the labor of
peaceful nations.
But as yet we stand only at the threshold
of happier times. To enter we must fulfill
to the utmost the engagements we have
made. The Victory Liberty Loan is the
indispensable means. Two years ago we
pledged our lives and fortunes to the cause
for which we have fought. Sixty thousand
of our strongest sons have redeemed fol
US that pledge Of blood. To redeem in full
faith the promise Of this sacrifice we nov
must give this new evidence of our pur
pose.
