GERMANY USES
TROOPS TO PUT
END TO STRIKE
Forces Sent to Points Hit
By Rail Tieup-Situa-
ton Grave.

Berlin, Sunday, July 6.-(By the
Associated Press. )-The govern
ment is sending troops to import
ant points affected by the strike of
railway men in southern and west
ern Germany and hopes that
through them it can master the sit
uation which is admitted to be
grave.
The action Of the strike leaders
in quickly moving their headquar-
ters from Berlin to Frankfort ap-
parently outwitted the government.
There has been no change in the
strike of street rail y1ymen in Ber-
lin. The government announced
that the suburban and belt line SER
vice would be resumed Tuesday.
The referee in the wage dispute
between the banks and their en-
ployes, has filed a report which rep
resents a compromise between the
concessions offered by the banks
and the demands of the workers.
Both sides are asked either to ac-
cept or repect the referees verdict
by July IL.
Strikers Resume Work.
Frankfort. Sunday, July 6.-(By
the Associated Press )-The rail-
way strikers, who have been hold
ing up train service in southern
and western Germany, decided to-
day to resume work, but insist that
their demands be met. The workers
will hold themselves in readiness
for united action in case the gov
ernment's decision is adverse.

LAWYER SLAIN
BY SWEETHEART
81 Shot Him Because. He Betrayed
Me and / Meant To Kill Him."
Girl Calmly Says.

Chicago, H., July benjamin
Burr. an attorney, was shot and
killed in his office today by Miss
Margaret Seithamier, II years old,
and employed as a maid in a west
side hotel. She went to the office
of the lawyer with Miss Marier
Larson, her half-sister, with the
avowed purpose of killing Burr be-
cause he had betrayed her, accord
ing to- the story she told the po-
lice.
The young woman said that she
and her half-sister had decided
that Burr should pay for his al
legged faithlessness, with his life.
After a brief conversation with the
attorney, the girl drew the revolv-
er and fired a shot at Burr, who
sank to the floor unconscious. He
died a few minutes after being re-
ing removed to a hospital. Miss
Seithamier made no effort to
escape.
Tried To Cast Her Aside.
She said she first met Burr two
years ago when he obtained a di-
vorce for her mother and that re-

STOWAWAY ON BIG
DIRIGIBLE TELLS
HOW HE WORKED IT

Mineola, n. Y, July 7.-Besides
the crew of 81 persons who came
over on the British dirigible R-34
there was the inevitable stowaway
even on an airship they are able
to get away with it.
w. W. Ballantyne, a rigger, a
member of the R-34 crew, was told
a few days before the dirigible
taken on the fight. BalIantyne, a
prize fighter before he enlisted,
went to the head coxswain and
learned that it was necessary to
Tighten by three men and that he
was one of the 'unlucky ones" The
way he changed his luck was told
in this way by the stowaway:
I'D worked ard, / 'ad, bloody
ard on the bally blimp; but that
didn't matter so much You see,
I'd never seen America, 'ad my art
place on it, and my mind, too. So
/ sneaks out a bit before midnight,
about two hours before the R-34
left Scotland. 1 'ides in the rig
ging. No one saw me and we're
off.
When the balloon was about 200
feet up l changes my position to a
more comfortable one. 1 id be-
tween the gas bags, No. and No.
z, at the stern Of the ship.
When we were about sixty
miles out Sergeant Watson
stumbles over my ed, and of course
he takes me to the 'ead coxswain.
The officers couldn't do nothing
then and 1 saw one of 'em smile
so 1 kno'd I'd see the land where
they pay 100000 for a man to get
in the ring for three rounds.
I'D like to take on some one at
126 pounds. There is a little 'ouse
in England what could use the
winning end of the urse. I'm only
going to be ere a day or so, but
maybe some American could fix it
for me-

NATION RULED
IN SECRET" is
GRAHAM CLAIM
Charges Defense Council
Created Bills Before
War Declared.

Washington, July 7.-Charges
that the president organized the
council of national defense before
war was declared in absolute vIo-
lation of law and thereby creased
a secret government of the Unired
States, which formulated legisla-
ton, dictated policies the country
was to pursue, befriended by Gig
business" were made today by Rep
resentative William J. Graham,
chairman of the special house com
mittee investigating war department
expenditures.
Minutes of the council were read
to the committee by Mr.. Graham,
together with a report in which he
asserted the council assumed such
broad powers that Major General
Goethals, former chief of the pur-
chase, storage and traffic division
of the war department, defied it; ;
cabinet members protested against
its activities and Judge Gary, chair
man of the board of the United
States Steel corporation, accused II
of operating in fragrant violation
of law"
Created "Secret Government"
Mr.. Graham declared the presi-
dent created the "secret govern
ment" by ignoring and reversing the
intent of congress in authorizing
the establishment of a council of
national defense, in August, 1916.
AS authorized by congress, he said
the council was to be composed of
civ h0~G rF Tho aohfnnf
were to be the real executives, and
seven civilians to be selected by
the president, who were to act in a
purely advisory capacity. Insteau
of doing this, Mr.. Graham asserted,
the president made the advisory
committee the real executives,
clothing them with unprecedented
and almost illimitable powers"
sWOrked Behind Closed Doors
Behind closed doors, weeks and
even months before war was de-
clared," he said, these seven men
designed practically every war
measure which congress subse-
quently enacted. They devised the
entire system of purchasing war
planned a press censor
SUPP uCSlSACu d og ObCIu VI lOOu COu-
troll, and selected Herbert C. Hoov-
er as its director, and even deter
on the daylight savings
scheme.
Conceived within the law but
brought into existence in absolute
of law, it is not surprising
to find this secret government of
the United States itself persistently
ignored and even violated the laws,
that it allowed interested parties to
fix the prices of war supplies; that
it put the people of the country to
unnecessary expense.
and carried things with a high
hand"

PLAN TO RAISE
CENSORSHIP OF
ALL FOE LINES
Unrestricted Communica-
ton Likely With Lift
ing of Blockade.

Paris, July 7.-Removal of the
censorship on communications with
Germany was on the program for
discussion at the session of the al
lies council this afternoon 1t is
understood that the supreme eco
nomic council has recommended
that the censorship be lifted coinci-
dent with the raising of the block
ade. The recommendation, 1t is
considered probable, will be ap-
proved.
Discussions with the Germans
with regard to certain terms of
the peace treaty regarding repara-
tions were to have been begun early
this week, but it developed today
that the beginning of the oral ex-
changes had been postponed until
Thursday. the German representa-
tives having failed to arrive from
Berlin.
The commissions Of admirals ap-
pointed to consider the disposition
of the remaining German warships
submitted their report to the coun-
Gil today. In effect the report
states that no recommendations on
the question are possible until GER
tain matters of policy have been
decided by the powers.
The probability seems to be that
the whole question will be finally
referred to the governments of the
various powers concerned.
Majority FavOrs Sinking.
AS the situation stands now, ia
pan and the United States are un-
derstood to favor breaking up or
sinking the remaining warships.
Great Britain approves the plan to
break them up while Italy agrees
to their destruction conditionally.
but if this plan is not carried out
Italy insists on having her share
of the vessels. in case they are di-
Vided among the powers. France
opposes the destruction of the yes
sells and desires their distribution.
Some of the smaller powers, no
tably Poland, approve the plan to
destroy the vessels.
