WASHINGTON. Jan 2s-A sharp
controversy developed to-day between
the Overman committee, which is in
vestigating German propaganda, and
Secretary of War Baker, who attacked
the publication of The list Of pactists
by that committee. There is a promise
OF further fireworks tomorrow, as
members intmatod that the Secretary's
criticism Of the list amounts to an at
tack or he committees policy De
velopments were;
"A statement by Senator Overman.
chairman Of the committee. pointing
out that whereas Mr. Baker had
denied that through Archibald +.
Stevenson, who furnished the list,
had never been an officer or en-
ploye' of the army he was recon-
mcnded to the committee by the Di-
vision Of Military Intelligence, as
member of its propaganda section.
The Senator added TO this formal
statement declaration that the per-
son named in the list had been ac-
tive in organizations which had
sought to interfere with the prose
cutlon of the war and that it was
them.
A second statement was made by
Secretary Baker. in which he denied
that ne intended to criticse the COM
mlttee, but "assumed' that it did not
know about the Stevenson list until
he produced it, and said that II "ap-
parently' had no other foundation
than the literary opinions of the per
sons included in the list.
The facts are that Mr. Stevenson
first mentioned the list when asked by
Senator Nelson whether he had one.
and stated that it had not been pre-
pared for publication; that he was in
structed by the comm ittee (whose mem
bers asserted the public ought to be
informed to prepare the list to go
INTO the record, and that it was finally
put in only after the committee had
discussed the matter at length in ex-
ecutive session. Nor is the list based
on the "literary opinions" of those
named. L is based on their connection
with pacifst or other organizations,
and the names Of those who quit such
organizations after the United States
entered the war were withheld from
publication.

said Senator Overman. they were
actually engaged in activities which
we're destructive to the morale Of the
American people in war and were tend
ing to obstruct the prosecution of the
war They were dangerous, and they
are making trouble to-day. and they
Will continue to be dangerous unless
their influence can be checked in some
way.
1--WE cannot interfere with the free
dom of speech, and do not know any
one that really wants to, but publicity
is the best cure for this sort of thing.
We can at least put the public on guard
against this propaganda by letting it
know who the propagandists are The
making public Of that list was a neces-
sary and entirely justifable step in
that direction. These people put them
selves on record when they joined those
organizations.

LEXINGTON. Ky, Jan. 28.-The es-
tate left by Mrs. Robert W Bingham,
formerly the wife of Henry NJ. Flagler,
Standard Oil capitalist, is worth only
$50, ,SSS.CO0, instead Of the $4,000 000
valuation put upon it by the state tax
officials according to statements made
to-day by the administrator, the Fidel-
ity and Columbia Trust Company, Of
Louisville.
Judging from this statement, the
share of Mrs. Laurence Lewis, of New
York, formerly Louise Wise. has appa-
rently shrunk by S4000O,000. The
statement was made by the administra-
tor in filing exceptions to the report of
G. W. Harding, inheritance tax ap-
praiser, on which he claimed the state
could collect S4500,001 in taxes.
Exceptions are taken by the admin
istrator to valuations placed on items
at the appraisement, severally as we'll
as to the totals. The estate was sued
yesterday for $4,o0o,0oo in back taxes.

Doubt Feasibility of Com

II. Williams Says Russians
Seek World Conference

New York Socialists and Bolsheviki
said yesterday they had received no
Information from Russia concerning
the proposed radical labor conference
which Chester NJ Wright, Tribune
spondent in Paris, announced in
yesterdays paper was soon TO be
called by Nikolai Lenine, Premier of
Russia. Men who have kept in closest
touch with events in Russia we're skep-
teal as to whether such a conference
could be held
Albert Rhys Williams, who was
spondent in Russia for many
months. and knew Lenine and Trotzky,
expressed the belief that if any one
had Intentions of calling a communist
congress- It was Trotzky and not Len
inc. Lenine, he said, was inclined TO
be conciliatory. while Trotzky who is
r4uch more radical, was of tie opin-
ION that Soviet troops could beat the
world
Desire Meeting in Moscow
This proposed congress-" continued
Williams, "is not in line with Lenine's
general attitude OF conciliation. 1t

TrOtzky's viewpoint. Trotzky. who is
Minister OF War, knows the condition
and spirit Of the Russian Soviet armies
and seems to have great confidence in
their ability to cope with any in
vaders.'
Asked whether he knew Of any de-
sire on the part of the Russian Boil
sheviki to have d world congress more
or less sympathetic TO the Bolshevist
philosophy, Williams replied: "Of
course, the Russian soviets naturally
desire a meeting of all Socialists in
Moscow, because they feel that they
can point to their own accomplish
ments in reconstruction as a sufficient
justification for their methods.
Others Refuse TO Discuss 1t
Naturally, they are taking pride. he
observed, "in the reorganization of the
industrial and agricultural life, and
they wish to point these out as certain
