.MAYO'SLETTER
NOT PROTEST.
Takes View Directly Oppo-
site to That of Admiral
Sims.

Washington, Jan. zo.-Rear Aa-
miral Henry T. Mayo, commander In
chief of the United States feet during
the war. told the senate committee in
vestigating naval awards today that
his letter to Secretary Daniels ON
December %, declaring that the
knight board did not give sufncient
consideration to service at sea, par
ticularly the duties and responsible
ties of members of the stan Of the
commander-in-chief of the feet, was
not to be considered in any sense one
Of protest. He read the letter 1T the
request of Chairman Hale.
Admiral Mayo took a view dia-
metrically opposed to that expressed
by Rear Admiral Sims, who told the
subcommittee that the knight board,
in granting awards, gave too little
consideration to the records Of Of
ficers who served on shore. The navy
department made public Admiral
Mayo's letter on the subject some
days ago.
Reoommendations CHANGED.
Admiral Mayo said his letter was
written after practically all of hias
recommendations had been changer
or dtsapproved by ths board or Sec
retary Daniels.
made very few Recommendations
for awards" he said, mostly in the
cases OF members Oh my personal
staff, force commanders and COM
manders operating independently In
the case Of Captain O. p. jackson, my
chief of stan, I took very conserva-
tive view and recommended q navy
Cross. In view Of other commanders
recommending their chief aides for
distinguished service medals the
board increased my Recommendation
to a distinguished service medal, but
Secretary Daniels reduced 1t back to
a navy cross. Captain jackson was
the only mmber of my staff, bellows,
who finally received any decoration
at ALL"
Testifying that Admiral Sims was
supposed to be- under his command
during the war, Admiral Mayo aaid
that in order to facilitate matters Ad-
miral Sims did not report to him, but
directly to the navy department.
Lack of a well defined policy for
the award Of naval honors may have
had a bearing on the decoration stu
alton, Admiral Mayo said, adding:
Both the board and the secretary
were acting within their rights and
perogative in changing recommenda-
tions for awards.
Il do not say was satisfied with
the result of the action Of the board
and the secretary" added Admiral
Mayo, ''but do say that they had the
right to take such action as they
wished and to assume the response

Minneapolis. Jan. 2o.-Grain and

summoned to a meeting at the cham
Der Of commerce in this city early to-
day by w. p. Trickett, manager Of
the Minneapolis Traffic association, to

member of the interstate commerce
commission on grain rates from north
west to eastern points, virtually
aboltshing all stopover privileges for
milling in transit Of grain passing
through Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Duluth. -
The grain and milling interests in
Minneapolis will probably demand a
rehearing Of the case on the grounds
that the decision was made by an ex-
aminer and not the commission as a
whole after a due hearing before II.
Mr.. Trickett said. Charles E. ELM
auist and c. A. Severance, st. Paul
attorneys, who represented northwest
interests in the hearings before Wool
ley, were requested by the millers and

Enormous Wealth In Northern Wiscon

Prof. c. P. Norgord, head of
the state department of agriculture,
speaking at farmers course in
Grant county recently called atten-
ton to the enormous resources of
Northern Wisconsin.
There are, he declared. between
eight and ten million acres of good
land still available for settlement.
Wisconsin lies at the doorway of
the best markets of the world.
Chicago, the fourth largest city in
the world; Milwaukee, one of the
great manufacturing cities of the
United States; both at the southeast
corner. Superior and Duluth locat-
ed at the farthest west extension of
Lake Superior, with St. Paul and
Minneapolis, the greatest Touring
center in the world on the west, and
many cities of from 20 to 3O,0O0 in
population within territory and sur
rounding it on all sides. This tei-
ritory is an extension of the great
west plains aud prairies which ex-
tend from the Rocky Mountains on
the west to the Great Lakes on the
east. This will be Wisconsin
prairie when the stunps aud trees
are taken off. Between this prairie
of ours and the Dakoto prairies is
the presence of stumps and trees.
We have had sufficient moisture ap-
piled to our fertile soil to produce
the great pine, hardwood and hem
lock forests for which Wisconsin
has been formerly noted. The
proof that in the pas, we have had
enough moisture and guaranteethat
in the future we will have enough
moisture, which applies to our
fertile soil, will produce not
only great forests, but beautiful
fields of waving grain, fine pastures
with beautiful herds, great red
barns, and happy homes.
We complain Of the cost Of clear

Influenza is prevalent in many
homes in Hurley and that the num-
Der of cases was increasing is evil
dent from the action taken BY the

a mild form, however, and under

well again in a few days, unless
Pneumonia develops.

Hurley has been attributed to in
fluenza followed by pneumonia.

Dresell, including four children be-
sides the parents, were afflicted with
the disease and Thursday morning
