PRESIDENT WAS SLOW
REALIZING SITUATION
Delay in Summoning Congress Has
Embarrassed Nations Business

Delay IN Summ0nlng congress Has
Embarrassed Nations Business
Washington, May Alt was due to
the repeated appeals of Secretary
of the Treasury Carter Glass that
President Wilson finally yielded and
called Congress together for May 49,
This is the prevailing talk in Wash
ington.
The new speaker of the House,
Mr.. Gillett of Massachusetts, said
Congress should have ben called long
ago and that the country's interests
had suffered by the delay. Mr.. Gillett
said:
Il am exceedingly glad that at last
the President appreciates that there
is need of immediate legislation. 1t
has seemed to me that Congress ought
to have been in session long ago, no
matter where the President was.
There are obviously prodigious prob
lens for rearranging our industrial
activities, upon the decision of what
business is waiting and upon which
Congress ought to have been deliber-
ating. There are also very many
appropriations which failed last
winter which are urgently needed now
and for lack of whom many of the
departments are suffering.
"The fiscal year ending on July /,
and any government activities which
have not been appropriated for before
then must Immediately stop, and yet
six of the great supply bills, covering
the greater part of the national expen-
ses, were not completed by the last
Congress in the three months of its
session. Now the new Congress is
expected to investigate and prepare
and pass those bills in six weeks
at is unjust to the Congress and
unjust to, the country not to have
allowed more time. OF course there
may have been imperative compelling
reasons for not allowing Congress to
be in session, but | am. not aware of
them, and l can only see the pressing
need of legislation, and until | am
shown why Congress should not have
been at work ! shall believe that the
interest of the country have suffered
greatly by the delay in summoning
u.s."

FOR ROBBERY AT CRELLIN
Two Small Boys Had Truckload of
Plumber When Captured.

For some time past many Getty
thefts have occurred in and about
Crellin and it was hard matter on
the part of those who lost goods and
articles of wearing apparel to locate
the guilty parties until one of those
who had been robbed came to Oak
land on Monday and had a search
warrant issued directing that a GER
tain house in the town occupied by a
family named Lewis be searched for
trace of the missing articles.
Armed with the proper papers Con-
stable William Casteel went to Crel-
lin on Tuesday night and in making
his way along the railroad track he
ran on to two boys, Chester Lewis
and Darius johnson, who were push
ing a truck in front of them which
was loaded with lot of material con-
sisting of rubber shoes, mule shoes,
coal pick and other articles which had
been stolen from the mine of the
Kendall Lumber Company and which
the boys were taking to their homes.
Caught with the goods in their pos
session they were placed under ar
rest and brought to Oakland where
they were given hearing before JUS
tice West who committed them TO
Jail for the action of the grand jury.
During the hearing it transpired
that bushel of oats had been stolen
from the lumber company's barn and
upon the information of the Lewis
boy a warrant was Issued for his
father who was arrested upon the
charge of receiving stolen goods, but
who was released upon his own recog-
cognizance for the action of the grand
jury next month.
At the Justices Office yesterday
number of warrants were also issued
at the instance of the parents of four
children at Crellih upon the charge
of incorrigibility. The children were
June McCabe, Artie Johnson, Jesse
Johnson and Thomas Lewis. They
were given hearing later in the day
and paroled by the Justice upon the
condition that they hereafter conduct
themselves properly.

DANIELS COMMENTED
 BUT DID NOT CENSOR
Head of Navy Says His Remarks to Rodman Concerning His Speech
 Were Merely As Friend.

San Diego, Cal, August S.-Secre- tary of the Navy Daniels authorized a statement today in which he told briefly of the circumstances that led to Admiral Rodmans announcement last night at a banquet that the speech he had prepared in advance would have to remain in his pocket as Secretary Daniels had censored it and told him not to use it. Secretary Daniels said:
 Admiral ROdman showed me l copy of speech he had written and 1 comm ented upon it and advised that a certain paragraph be emitted. I did not know that 1 was acting in any official capacity as censor at this time nor did 1 know then the" speech had been sent broadcast in advance. Had ] known that copies were in the hands of neWspa pers l would have made no objection to the use of the speech. The speech was shown me and I comment cd upon ii in an informal manner
 A paragraph in the admiraIs speech which the secretary thought should be eliminated referred to possible future wars. Admiral Rodnlan Ia laughingly said today that the whole affair amounted to nothing and it didn't "bOther me a oit.''

INJUNCTION GRANTED.
Much Cold Storage Pork Made Basis
 of Suit by Prosecutor

Columbus, O., Aug. S:--An injunc- tion was granted in the county com- mon pleas court yesterday against the Colum bus Packing company and the Fairmont Creamery com pany, and Claude Chamberlain, a Colum bus meat dealer, was appointed receiver for 151, 1,651 pounds of pork, which, the prosecutor alleges, the Creamery company has held in storage for the Packing company in excess of the pe- riod stated by law and for the pur- pose of proteering. The suits insti- tuted by the county prosecutor are the first filed under the new Ohio storage law. The action not only seeks to obtain possession of the fool property, but to sell it publicly at the figures at which it was acquired by the Columbus Packing company.
 All of the food. the petition alleges, has been held in excess of the six months period permitted by law.

CONN. SENATOR SPEAKS
Brandegee Says "U. s. Butts into European Affairs and Gets In Wrong; Peace Not Here.

Washington, Aug. S.-Boundaries for the Balkan states were discussed by the senate today. Senator Brande- gee, republican, Conn.,, called atten- ton to the differences between Bull garia and Greece over ThraCe.
 Press dispatches, Senator Brande- gee said, indicated that because the American peace commissioners were supporting Bulgaria, Premier Venize- los of Greece was incensed at Amer ica and had announced opposition to the league of nations.
 Commenting on President Wilson's s statement that a new day "haS dawned in the world" Senator Brandegee said. European reports show the Balkans 'were still aflame and Jugo-Slava and Italy were at swords points,
 Tt shows" said Senator Brande- gee, that every time we butt in and to settle European boundar- ies, we get into trouble.'
