DANIELS SAYS HE . TOLD SIMS NOTHING
Scope of Investigation By Senate Committee Will
 Be Extended
By Associated Press

Washington, January lS.-Secretary Daniels in letter forwarded tonight to Chairman Page of the Senase naval af- fairs committee. declared that it was not he who had told Rear Admiral William S. Sims before the admirafs departure m March. 1917. for London, not to let the British pull the wool over your eyes,
 and that the United states would as soon fight the British as the Germans
 Testifying yesterday before a senate naval sub committee Investigating naval awards, Admiral Sims said such admohl- tion had been given him by nlsh official.,' before he left the United states and quoted from letter recently writ ten to MT. Daniels and entitled certain naval lessons of the great war, which arraigned in sharp terms many aspects of the navy departments conduct of the war.
 Secretary Daniels in his letter to Sena- tor Page said that Admiral Sims letter has been referred to the general board of the navy for action and that "at the proper time and in the proper way any fair-minded investigator will be con- vinced that the allegations reflecting upon the vigorous effective and success full prosecution of the war, so far as the navy department and the entire navy are concerned, are based on opinions which are without justification
 Because of the statements made yes terday by Admiral Sims. it appeared likely tonight that the scope of the Sen- ate investigation would be extended. After a conference during the day between Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. re publican leader, and Senator Hale of Maine chairman of the investigating sub committee, it was announced that an att tempt would be made tomorrow to have the full naval committee authorize ex- tension of the investigation and should this effort fail, the matter would be car- ried to the Senate, Admiral Sims will resume his testimony before the sub committee tomorrow.

 Hango, Finland, January 1S.-The train having aboard the boishevists and anar- chists deported from the United States was held here last evenin guntiI posi- tive assurance was received from the so- viets that they would permit the party to cross the Russian border and that the deportees would not be molested Grave rumors had come from the border that Berkman and Goldman and their com rades would be killed by the Russionsa, and. while there was appa rently no au- thority to confirm this threat, it was deemed advisable to take all precau- tions.
 The ''undesirables'' embarked yesterday from the Buford and were placed in box cars fitted up with plank benches, tables and beds.
 Each car contained seven boxes of army ratons. The supplies include bully beef, sugar and hard bread
 The train was required to wait dreary hours while he Finnish authorities ne- gotiated with the Russians for an un- official suspension of hostilities-not the official armstice originally planned long enough for the reds to pass over the br,6ge which marks the boundary be- tween Finland and Russia and to assure their safety.
 The Associated Press correspondent, who arrived in the morning, was not per- UliLteQ itt IfTSI to DOdTu tue SpeClAi, put after appealing to the authorities, the colonel in command received him briefly and he was taken aboard the train. It vas originally planned to send labor of ficials as far as the border, but this was found unnecessary because the Fin nish government. through the American vice consul volunteered to take over the undesira bles as a favor to the United States.
 Emma Goldman conversed with the cor respondents for few minutes before she trudged down the long path to the train carrying part of her baggage. Asked if she had a final greeting to America she said:
 1T don't know wherer I have. Would you be willing to tell your feelings on departing? Naturally, my emotions are conflicting. I am anxious about what is ahead in Russia: but naturally am leaving very much behind in America " She amazed the correspondent by throwing her arms around his neck and giving him resounding kiss before he could struggle away.
 1 Then she picked up her belongings and | moved wearily in the direction of the l train.
 l Details of trouble with the reds while crossing have been disclosed since the vessel arrived at Hango, but the trouble | was not of serious import One grumb- i Ter put in a bill for s4S for alleged night work. demanding payment before leaving 1 the ship.
 | Storms delayed the Bufords departure 1 this morning.

SHIPPERS TAKE ISSUE WITH HINES
 AS ID RAILROADS
ax Associated Prsss

Uasbio1ton January 1S.ZTaking issue with the declarati tion of Director Genera
 Hines in a recent address in New fork that it is necessary to re-make the Whoie transportation structure of the country the national shippers conference in statement filed by Clifford Thorne with the senate and house interstate commerce committees present statistics and records to disprove the director generals asser- tions
 The statements of the director general,
 which are rebutted by the shippers III their statement made public tonignt were that the railroads of the country TOT several years before passing under gov ernment control were facing a curIah- ment of maintenance expenses, decrease
 in net operating income and reouc-
 tion of surplus with the consequent et-
 feet on the credit of the carriers.
 Figures are presented by the shippers
 conference to show during the calendar
 wear. 1916. expenditures for maintenaee
 were 9as ner cent greater than in 1ssO'
 an increase much greater than the in-
 crease in mileage and decline in buying
 power Of the dollar
 Renlving to Mir Hines. the statement presented an exhibit showing that uur- ing the years 1916 and 1917, the last two years of private operation, the income ol r1arican railroads above all operating aXDpnSaS corne of any other two year period since records have been kept by more than four hundred million dollars
 As to MT Hines assertion As 10 an i'm haired condition of railroad credit pre- yious to government control, the snip pers declared that investigation in lsiI dispIosed that the railroads were able to borrow money at lower rate of interest than were the 20 largest cities Of the country or the governments of the United States. England, France and Germany Tn conclusion the shippers conferences asserted
 we believe that the restoration or the railroads to their owners will result iD the adoption of many economies. Tne cost of supplies will undoubtedly tend | to recede from their present level in the near future. If the railroads van prove they need rate advances the interstate commerce commission will grant them. | The commission has acted wisely in the past We claim that we can safely trust our railroads to substantially the same regulatory system which has prevailed | in the past without any drastic. funda- 1 II ental or revolutionary changes.
