RIOTS STARTED BY WOMEN AT
 PUEBLO
Bv Associated Pressl

PUEBLO, Colo, Dec. g. - The first violence in connection with the strike of steel workers employed at the Minncqua plant here occurred to- day when Austrian women pickets started throwing stones at steel workers who had refused to obey the union orders to continue the strike and had gone back to work.
 Mayor Mike Studzinski was one of the victims of the mob's roughness, and suffered many bruises and scratches when he was knocked to the ground and severely pummeled by the enraged women.
 Sawed off shotguns were carried by the police reserves who had been summoned by a riot call from the steel works but no shots were fired. Nevertheless the officers were com belled to use their riot clubs frequent ly and with much force to subdue some of the rioters.
 While trouble was started by wom- en pickets, a large number of striking men were involved before the police arrived on the scene. A dozen ar rests were made by the police and those arrested will be held on charges of melting riots and probably will be turned over to the state courts to- morrow morning for<trial.

LACKLEDE, Mo-, Dec. 23.-Gen- eral John J. Pershing came back to his boyhood home today, ate turkey dinner, was presented with a medal and a loving cup, visited relatives and cronies of long ago, explored anew the old Pershing house and made several speeches.
 The general seemed to enjoy every minute, from the time he stepped from his private car to grasp the out stretched hand of Al Warfeld, aged negro, once a servant in the Pershing household, who was the first to greet him.
 Three impressive moments marked the generals visit One was public, two were private The public one came when, acting on behalf of the people of Missouri, Governor F. D. Gardner presented him with medal as a token of the states appreciation of his efforts in winning the war. Of those in private, one took place when a group of close friends and former schoolmates presented him with a loving cup and another came when he expressed his sympathy to the father, mother and sister of a soldier killed in France.
 The general told the sorrowing three that his heart went out to them. And l might in conclusion, say that the sacrifice of the boy does not eX- ceed that Of the mother" he said

SIINNS NOT TO ACCEPT D.S.M. OF
 DANIELS
CBy Associated Pre~sl

! WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Rumb- i lings of dissatisfaction within the
 navy at the way Secretary Daniels
 has arranged the awards of decora-
 tions for war service, came to the
 surface today when il became known ! that Admiral Simms, former com mander of American naval forces in European waters, had declined to accept his Distinguished Service Medal while the awards remain as at 1 present.
 Chairman Page of the senate naval committee asked for report on the awarding of the decorations and Sec retary Daniels transmitted one to him tonight. Coming as the climax to published charges. that Secretary Daniels has rearranged the whole list of awards, raising some officers to higher distinction than recommended and blue penciling" others, publica- tior of Admiral Simms' action creat- ed a new sensation in the navy de- partment and added a new chapter to the long contest ill which some naval officers have complained of the sec retary's administration of affairs, and others have defended him with equal vigor.
 Admiral Sinms writing to Secre- tary Daniels, has set out that officers for whom he recommended the Dis tinguished Service Medal-highest of all naval decorations except the Con gressional Medal of Honor-received by the secretary's revision, a decora- ton of lesser value and that other officers, whose duties and services Admiral Simms considered as of less CT value, received by the revision, the more valued decorations.
 Admiral Simms in his letter does not appear to refuse his decoration internationally. He refused it under the conditions he outlined, and he asks for an opportunity to explain the reasons for his original recommenda- tions. Besides that, the admiral does not ask that the highest award be taken from any officer upon whom it already has been conferred, but he does ask for a revision upward of some of the lesser decorations.
 Indicating that the entire contro- versy that has now come to light re- wolves around the old navy depart meht disagreement as to which class of service-shore or. sea-is most i'm portant, Secretary Daniels in his re port said:
 The value of duty on shore was duly recognized, but in my opinion it should be Of the highest importance and responsibility in order that this duty should be recognized by the award of the same kind of medals as that given to officers charged with great responsibility and at the same time in positions of grave danger in the active war zone and this was the standard which any particular case had to meet for an officer on shore duty to be awarded the medal"
