NOTICE DECKER
Key West Commandments Attack
on Secretary of the Navy Is
Passed Without Action.

Washington July i6.-Assistant Sec
retary Of the Navy Roosevelt announced
today that Rear Admiral Benton C.
Decker's attack on Secretary Daniels and
himself would probably be passed over
as not worth bothering about" and
no disciplinary action taken
Roosevelt said Admiral Coontz chief
of the bureau Of operations, and Ad.
miral Washington, chief OF the bureau
of navigation, had recommended TO Sec
retary Daniels that Decker be detached
from duty at once. Roosevelt added
that he and Daniels had agreed,
however, in conference at San Fran
cisco to let the attack pass unnotice1. 1.
although it was in direct violation OF
regulations.
I'VE felt that the entire Service knew
Admiral Decker Roosevelt said. and
that nothing would be gained by max
ing a martyr of him."
Decker, in a recently published let
ter, charged that Daniels deliberately
and Intentionally" misrepresented GER
tain facts in his testimony before the
senate committee and charged tlsat
Roosevelt introduced an element Of
political expediency into the naval adj
ministration.

COX ASSURES
WOMANS PARTY
ID e ocratic Nominee Tells
Leaders He Will Do All In His
Power For Ratification.
ATTITUDE is UNSELFISH
Women Told By Cox Not to Vote
For Him For His Attitude But
Search Political Party Records.

Columbus, o., July 16.-After as
surfing members of the Naticna, Wo-
mans party he would do al in his
power to bring about ratification of
the federal suffrage amendment by
Tennessee, Governor Cox in reply to
suggestions that he might expect wo-
mems votes if successful, urged them
mot to preach the gospel that I would
receive the votes of women because
helped to give them suffrage"
He told them that there are things
more vital than rewarding a man
for service which he has rendered in
behalf of suffrage"
Governor Cox told them that in
stead of telling people to vote for
Cox because he helped us, to search
the records of the political parties
and support that which you believe
will mean the most good for the COM
mon welfare
The democratic nominee will not
arrive in Washington for his Sunday
conference with President Wilson un-
til Saturday afternoon. .-E
The governor today decided to
leave Columbus on later train this
evening than had been originally
planned, throwing his arrival in
Washington several hours later. His
train will leave at 1920 tonight.
Plans were being developed today
by the Columbus Chamber of Com
merce to entertain members of the
Democratic national committee who
will meet here next Tuesday. Mrs.
Cox, wife of the nominee, expects to
entertain the committeeman and theif
families at the governors mansion
either Monday or Tuesday evening.
Messages commencing the governor
on his stand taken in the matter of
replying to statements issued by Sem
ator Harding continue to arrive to-
day. Among those received were z. H.
Moore, the governors pre-conveniton
manager, and Wilbur Marsh, Iowa,
treasurer of the national committee.
