MUCH DARK WORK ...
CHARGED TO SEVEN

Washington, July 7.-Seven men
formed "secret government Of the
United States," which working "be-
hind closed doors" determined all OF
the socalled war legislation weeks and
even months before war was declared
against Germany. Chairman Graham.
of the house committee investigating
war department expenditures charged
after reading into the record a di.
gest of the minutes of the council OF
national defense.
These seven men were named by
Mr.. Graham as Hollis Godfrey, How.

lard, members Of the advisory COM
mission of the council. This COM
mission, he added, was designed by
law to act in a purely advisory capa-
city to the council, composed of six
cabinet members but the president,
he asserted. made them the real ex-
ecutives. .
After Mr.. Graham had read to the
investigating committee a digest de-
signed to show that the military
draft, food control and press censor
ship had been discussed by the COM
mission several weeks before war
was declared. Representative Reavis
(Republican) of Nebraska, interrupt
ing, asked if "all this was prior to
the presidents speech on armed neu-
trality in which he said he was not
contemplating war" The chairman
answered afirmatively. ...
Later in the recital of the digest,
Mr.. Graham said that censure Of the
council and commission, uttered IN
the senate and house, led Mr.. Coffin
to urge that "a definite channel of
contact" be established between the
council and congress. "In other
words" commented the chairman,
ought ITO be educate"
In brief, Mr.. Graham's digest
charged that the president organized
the council in violation of the law
and that in addition to framing legis-
lstion, dictated policies and country
was to pursue, and befriend "big
business" Included in the report
read into the record was a letter by
Judge Gary advising the committee
it was disregarding the law, "suppos-
ed to regulate business"

DRIVE IN ALABAMA

AGAINST SUFFRAGE
Montgomery Ala, July 8.-On the
convening of the Alabama legisla-
ture here today a joint resolution
was introduced in the house provid-
ing for refusal to ratify the woman
suffrage amendment to the federal
constitution. Opponents of suffrage
by federal amendment asserted to-
night that enough votes were pledged
in both houses to reject the amend
ment.
Efforts were made in the house to
take immediate action on a resolu-
ton to indorse the peace treaty and
the league of nations, but opposition
developed to taking it up at once.
Governor Kilby addressed joint
session of the two houses this after
noon speaking more than an hour,
during which time he discussed con-
ditions in the State and recommend
ed legislation affecting education,
public health, changes in the form Of
handling the States convicts, taxa
! ton, finance and revenue. In the lat
ter instance the governor suggested
as revenue producer a State in
come tax, an excess profits tax and
] a. tonnage tax on coal and iron min
ed in the State.

Using a perfect trudgeon stroke,
which bore him through the water with

BY a cruising salmon, Kemper Wad-
dell won the thirteenth annual Hottum
marathon in the Mississippi river Sat-
unday afternoon. The victor COM
pleted the 10-mile course the length of

Waddell. Kemper's time was 1:54:20.
His brother covered the distance in an
additional so seconds.
The triumph Of Saturday was the
second in two years for Kemper Wad-
dell. -
Waddell's splendid mastery Of the
trudgeon stroke blasted the hopes of IL
starters. Of whom but eight finished.
The quickened heart beat which the
finish must inevitably furnish was con-
tributed by Callahan and Weiserma in
their battle for third position. Fifty
yards from the pier Of the first bridge
these two boys lunged forward in a
terrific squirt, which carried Weiserma
to the outer edge of the pier 10 inches
in the lead of Callahan. But Callahan
put a bit more fury into his lashings
and gained the center Of the pier-the
goal-first.
Shortly after the conclusion of this
contest, Doty came under the bridge
for fifth place, Miller sixth. Scott
seventh and KVle Creson eighth
