DANIELS SAYS
NAVAL INQUIRY
IS PROBABLE
Declares No Organization
In World Did Better Job
Than u: S. Navy. -.
Gptatn .John Weir.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Unless the
senate investigation of Rear, Admiral
Sims charges of failure Aof the, navy
department to cooperate, fully with
the Allies during the war is made to
tho entire satisfaction oflthe sAmeri-
by a naval board, Secretary Daniels
announced. today: He added that no

world ever did a better job than the
American navy" .$sts .i+..s 81.
While refusing to discuss Admiral
Sims letter offcriticism OF the depart
ment, Mr.. Daniels Indicated the adj
miral frequently clashed with the de-
partment through his insistence that
more destroyers be withdrawn from
troop conveys to augment the anti
submarine forces in European waters.
Declaring that ''in order that there
might be no reflection on the record
Of Commander d. w. Bogley, very
capable officer" Senator Pittman read
the record of the unanimous award
BY the knight board of d. S. M. to
coast guard cutter Tampa, sunk by
submarine September, 1918, with a
loss of all hands. He compared the
circumstances to those surrounding
the loss OF Commander Bagley's ship.
Senator Pittman then read the let
ter from Secretary Daniels to Chair
man Page outlining his reasons for
awarding medals to the commanding
officers of ships sunk by the enemy.
Those sentiments, if maintained,
would undermine any military organ
ization," said Admiral Sims
No recommendation the investigat-
Ing committee might make regarding
award Of decorations to officers would
cause him to change his own recon-
mendations, he added.
''The committee is not conversant
my final opinion one iota,'' he de-
| cla.red. mo one who did not sweat
blood with these officers during the
war would be competent to say who
deserved medals"
Chairman Hale said '.the commit
tee is not here to award medals, but
to investigate facts surrounding
awards already made"
THE paramount duty OF the Amer
lean navy" Mr.. Daniels declared,
was to protect the passage Of Amer
lean troops to Europe and the safe
guarding Of merchant shipping. vital
as that was recognized to be, neces-
sarily was secondary"
Secretary Daniels emphasized that
contrary to a popular impression, Ad-
miral Sims throughout the war was
| subordinate to Admiral Mayo, COM
Of the Atlantic fleet.
He indicated that on the question Of
the distribution OF destroyer strength
as well rs on other questions, Admiral
Sims was oyerruled by Admiral Mayo
q well as the department
Every naval order, every docu-
ment bearing on the navy's war activ-
ities," Mr.. Daniels continued. ''is open
to the light of day. and the more
thoroughly the entire record is laid
before the people Of this country, the
greater the pride they can have in
the achievements OF their navy. The
country will be entirely reassured
when matters are brought to show
down"

DIES SUDDENLY
IN KANSAS CITY

Mrs. B. L. Richardson, the colleges
Mother" of Hardin College, died sud-
denly Monday afternoon at the home
of relatives in Kansas City where she
had gone to spend the holidays. The
news of her death was great shock
to the community for, while she had
been delicate, her health was consid-
cred good and her death came as
great shock to all who knew her and
| loved her.
Mrs. Richardson was II years old
and had been connected with Hardin
College for over 20 years. She was a
woman of rare refinement and the
highest Christian ideals and her
splendid character made itself felt
on the development of hundreds Of
young women attending the college
and whom she mothered during their
student days.
Mr., Richardson, Baptist minister
died number of years ago in this
city and was buried in Liberty. Ae-
cording to telegraphic advices from
Kansas City Mrs. Richardson was
taken suddenly ill Monday afternoon
and within short time was dead.
The news of her death will be received
with regret for she was loved by all
who knew her and had wide ac-
quaintance throughout the state hav-
ing taught in a number of Missouri
women's colleges before coming to
Hardin. She leaves married daugh-
ter in Idaho to mourn her death.
Mrs. Richardson was born in 1849
! in Richmond, Mo. When she was
young lady, her parents moved to
Columbia. She was married there to
the Rev. B. L. Richardsond, who was
then pastor Of the Baptist Church.

and then moved to Liberty. In 1901
she came to Mexico to be matron at

]. A. GLANDON
Tells OF MAR
ines IN HAITI

According to J. A. Glandon, who
has just returned from a business
trip to Cuba, Haiti, and San Domingo
he saw no proof of the alleged cruelty
of the marines to the natives, who
were captured. The natives seem to
be very quiet, especially since the
majority of the bandits have been
cleaned out. Mr.. Glandon said that
the United States was asked to come
in and protect the government during
he last revolution several years ago,
nd the natives are getting along
low better than they ever have.
In the last fifty years, there have
been twenty-nine presidents, two Of
whom were allowed to serve out their
term, sixteen of whom were killed
and the rest run out Of the country.
Mr.. Glandon visited the presidents
mansion while there, but did not get
to see the president. All the officers
of the government are negroes, and
have been since the establishing Of
the republic, but there has been no
development in the country and
natives were continually fighting a.
mong themselves until the United
States sent the marines there.
There are about two regiments of
marines stationed in the islands now,
and there is one battleship. Roads are
being improved, and the uprisings
among the natives are being kept
down. There are airplanes sent over
the mountains every day to see that
no trouble has been started in the
interior of the island.
The United States has had troops
in the islands since Germany and Eng
land started going in to collect the
money on Haitian bonds, which had
been sold in these countries. The
United States stepped in to prevent
the violation of the Monroe Doctrine,
and has been stabilizing the country
and collecting the revenues.
The United States pays the debts
of the country, and what is left goes
to the Haitian government. Mr..
Glandon says that the country is
rich, and there is good timber and
lots of available land, which is not
taken up by the natives. Since the
United States has had troops on the
island, there has been decided in
crease in the development of the coun-
try and the native industries.
