DANIELS REPLY
To NAVAL HEADS
Answers Charge That He Did
Not Act to Secure Sufficient
Strength for the Navy.
BD The A ssociatea Press


WASHINGTON, May 20-Secretary
Daniels today replied to the criticism
of naval officers that he did not make
adequate steps to secure sufficient per-
sonnel for the navy before the United
States entered the war. He told the
senate committee investigating the
navy's conduct of the war that efforts
20 link his personnel policies in 1914
with the world war had been "abor-
tive"and declared that if he erred
then 1t was because he followed the
rrecedents established by those who
preceded him in office.
lie had been criticised by Rear
Admiral isie and other officers be
cause in 1914 he only asked congress
for enough men to fill the peace COM
plement that of the ships. Mr.. Dam
J iels said although he was only fol-
| lowing recommendation of the gen
eral board made in conformity of es-
| tablished policies of the department.
Mr. Daniels reviewed at length all
of the personnel legislation during his
/ term of office and told the commit
tee that what the navy did in enroll
ing and training young men during
the world war has had no precedence
IN any navy during the last or any
previous war"
The British navy, he said, totalled
415.162 officers and men when the
armistice was signed, against $40 O2l
| for the United States.
| In May. 1916, the general board
recommended 100000 men as the
number necessary for the navy for
war in the Atlantic. Mr.. Daniels
caid. In August of that year he rec
commended and congress authorized
Just 600 less than that number, he
| declared.
! Nobody in the navy in 1915 or
| 1916 dreamed that in any war so
many as 100000 men would be need
| ed" he declared.
1T was not until after the United
States entered the war that~it became
evident that preparations must be
| made on a much larger scale than
| 100000" Mr.. Daniels said.

mated $40. 600 would cover the cost
of this work, a special meeting of the

Gil chamber of the city hall and SER

Different Shops In This City

Although II is Thursday, the day
after suburban day, the stores have
many shoppers. People are out after
bargains. Many of the garments in

to twenty-five per cent.
In the women's line particularly
the drop upon dresses is noticeable.
Dresses which have been selling all

in some cases as low as S25. In ths
same manner spring and summer
dresses and skirts that would have
by this time been skating skyward,
are timiGly sticking TO the lower

Bu ma Assoclated Press

NEW YORK, May 20:-Milk de-
liveries in Manhattan and Long
Island City were almost shut off to-
day by the strike of drivers which
threatened to spread into the Bronx
and Harlem sections. The few de-
liveries made were to hospitals, Or
phanages, nurseries and similar in
stitutions.
While leaders of the unauthorized
strike declared 5000 drivers had
joined the walkout, union officials as
serted no more than 500 were out.
Heavy Gordon of police were
thrown around all milk distributing
stations throughout the strike areas.
Several times they were forced to
charge and disperse crowds of strik-
ers doing picket duty and menacing
loyal workers.
Several unsuccessful attempts
were made by strikers TO seize milk
trucks, one driver was assaulted and
injured while attempting a delivery.
No arrests were made.
Frederick J. Terbinsky, president
of the Milk Drivers tnion, predicted

ELECTROCUTED
At PLANT HERE
John Smith, Former Soldier,
Married One Month, Meets
. Death at the Cable Works

John Smith. twenty-four years old
of 527 West Side avenue, a helper In
the electrical department of the Stand
ard Underground Cable company, was
shocked to death about 2 o'clock yes
Iterday afternoon when his body came
in contact with terminal of a trans
| former. Efforts at resuscitation by
the Prone pressure method were In
vain. The man is survived by wife
of one month. a married sister, and
his parents, the latter living at
525 West Side avenue.
According to the story given by the
men in charge of the department this
morning. Smith with his electrician
mate worked late on Tuesday night
measuring the voltage of two trans
formers close together. The measure
ment of one transformer was complet-
ed. Then in a backward manner the
other transformer was connected by
"a small wire and the voltage tested.
The men worked late Tuesday, and 1t
is claimed forgot to deatch the wire
which left current In the transformer.
When the men went home Tuesday
night a danger gate prevented any
one from going near the transformer
Yesterday the electrician and Smith
started working on new terminals
about tep feet from the transformer.
1t Is not known how the man came
former or who took the danger gate
away. but while working on a new
terminal he came In contact with the
live terminal and was shocked to
death.
Immediate efforts were made
through the Prone pressure method
to revive the man without avail, Dr.
Ramsay being summoned Immediate
ly, but 1t is believed the mans death
was instant. Coroner Flynn was call
ed at 2:S0 and later turned the body
over to Michael Zylka who is in
charge of funeral arrangements.
1t was said at the plant this morn
ing that the volt measuring tests are
not made very often, but that in this
case two mistakes were made. even
though every precaution for safety is
being taken. The wire connecting
the two transformers should have
been disconnected, and the danger
gate should not have been moved.
Smith 1t Is said was re-employed
at the Cable Company on March 6
of last year in the electrical depart
ment after serving eleven months over
seas with the American Exped tionary
forces.
Smith was married a little ever a
month ago. The Cable Company in
sures every employe without cost so
that the beneficiary of the Smith es-
tate will receive $3.50, the amount
given for a person employed from one
to two years.
The funeral will take place Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock from his hom-
with service in st. Stephens church
and niterement In st. stephens ceme-
terry.

ENGLAND SENDING TROOPS
To STOP IRISH DISORDERS

Bp The Associated Press
DUBLIN, May 20.-Contingents OF
British cavalry and infantry are ar
irving In ireland. Many men then
on duty had enlisted for the dura-
tion of the war and have since been
demobilized. Troops hitherto have
been used merely as additional police
officers and have not been numerous
enough to cope with disturbances.
In fights which occurred at police
barracks the attackers have been gen.
orally ten times more numerous than
the defendants and as they have been
well armed the contests have been
unequaled. Soldiers have been called
in to establish a balance.
In many places they are doing ordl-
nary police patrol in which police are
Exposed to great risks.
Many recent murders of policemen
have occurred on patrols where the
routes OF the officers were known.
many being shot from ambush. 1t
will be more difficult in the future for
the raiders to carry on this sort of
warfare as armored cars will be used.
Thus far, there have been no at
tacks on soldiers but an insufficiently
protected military hut undoubtedly
would be inviting to raiders. 1t is
anticipated the huts will be forti-
field and protected by barbed wire,
OF which large quantities have arriv-
ed. 1t is expected too that at least one
machine gun will be installed
Various depots throughout Ireland
have in the last few weeks been train
ing machine gunners, many being
schooled In this city. Rattling sounds
of machine guns being audible every
morning in the neighborhood of
various military barracks.
Gen. Sir Nevil McReady is the most
important member of the Irish ad-
ministration because it is felt the
forcible enforcement of law is more
urgent than any other policy. The
commander In chief says he has
never to do with policy and Is inter-
eGted only in military affairs.
He was sent to Dublin by the cab
met to report on the situation and
now having been given all the power
he believes necessary he is organizing
the military forces and bringing them
into coordination with the police.

hartmann TRIAL likely
TO START ON WEDNESDAY
Perth Amboy Detective Will
Face HoId-Up Charges, the
Cause of Sensation Here

William I. Hartmann, the local de-
tective arrested, together with sew
eral. other men on the night of March
IS. charged with being implicated In
a holdup. will be placed on trial be-
fore Judge Peter +. Daily and a jury
in New Brunswick on Wednesday OF
next week. No announcement has
been made as yet when the trials of
Andrew Gadek and Stephen N. Vereb,
of this city, and Joseph Brombert,
alias Brown, of South Amboy, the
other men arrested at the same time
as Hartmann. will come UP for trial
although 1t is expected to be soon.
The arrest of Hartmann and the
other three men marked the climax
of what proved to be one of the most
complicated cases ever brought be-
fore the attention of the local police
and the county prosecutor. Others
were implicated in the matter, which
seemed to have been carefully plan
ned in order that 1t might eventually
result in their securing $4,000 from
the sale of three barrels of whiskey
which the men had planned to steal.
There was q mysterious barrel in
evidence throughout the case but
whether II contained whiskey or
vinegar was never known. This par
ticular barrel was in wagon stolen
from the shed of John Moritko, of
726 State street. who was held up
and robbed on the same night. Short
ly after the police received word of
the holdup the prosecutor learned of
the matter and in a sensational
cleanup directed by Prosecutor JOS
eph r. Stricken from his Office here,
Hartmann and the others were
taken into custody.
The murder trial of Michael Knapek
of Woodbridge. which was scheduled
to be held next Monday before Su-
preme Court Justice James j. Ber-
gen will be held on Tuesday instead.
In addition TO the Hartmann case
on Wednesday. those of Israel Field
man, of Woodbridge township. charg-
ing with passing worthless checks and
Michael Kaisen, of Roosevelt, charged
with desertion, are also scheduled to
be heard.
