Admiral knight Testifies
In Decorations Mess, In
: Issue With Secretary Of
The Navy

WASHINGTON. January 49,
Rear Admiral Knight, chairman of the
board created to recommend saval
decorations, took issue with Secre-
tary Daniels in the naval medals con-
troversy, testifying before the inves-
tigating committee today.
Admiral Knight declared that Dan
iels placed "much emphasis" on cases
wehere commanders lost their ships
in contact with the enemy. He said
the board was and is unable to accept
the view expressed by the Secretary
of the Navy that mere contact with an
enemy constitutes of itself a claim
to recognition, even when followed by
meritorious service, unless such SER
vice is connected in some measure
with operations offensive or defen-
sive, directed against the enemy.
The admiral informed the commit
tee that Recommendations for awards
made by the board of which he was
chairman, were overruled in many
cases by Secretary Daniels, himself,
The figures were laid before the COM
mittee by the admiral.

WHO HAS LOST A
SUITCASE WITT
"A LOT OF DEEDS
AND OTHER DOCS?

Yesterday a soldier of the 25th.
Infantry called at "The Oasis" Of
flee, exhibited lot of deeds, mort
cages, releases of mortgages, etc.,
that appertain to transactions at San
ia Fe, Albuquerque and other points
in New Mexico; and told the follow
ing story:
In September last party of SOL
diers from the command named re-
turned from their furlough passed at
their homes in various parts of the
country. They arrived at Tucson by
different trains, but all came to No
gales at the same time on the same
train. At Tucson their baggage was
all stacked in a heap in the depot
while they awaited time for the train
to Nogales. When the train was
ready their baggage was piled into
the car they entered, and at Nogales
it was loaded upon truck, which
took it to the camp.
At the camp there was an unmark-
ed suit case which no one seemed to
claim. With other baggage this un-
claimed suitcase went into quarters
of one of the companies and has been
there ever since the time stated. FL
nally, out, of curiosity this soldier
opened the suitcase day or two
since, and found it filled with papers
such as mentioned.
AS stated at the beginning of this
story, the suitcase is the property of
|, someone in Santa Fe or Albuquerque.
There are so many papers and so
many different names appear rthat it
is difficult to determine which one
may be the rightful owner. But it
is subject to the owner if he claims
it.

UNITED Press Service)
WASHINGTON, January 23.-In
addressing the Senate today Senator
Ashurst of Arizona, advocated imme-
diate ratification of the peace treaty,
and attacked the plan of loaning mon
.ey to Europe.
Mr.. Ashurst declared that the trea-
tvI should be ratified regardless of
President Wilson's request that it be
made an issue in the next campaign; /;
and he declared that when Western
states recently asked the government
for loan of $250,OOO to lie used in
development of irrigation projects
they were refused. He said "they
were told that this money asked
could not be advanced because it
would be necessary for this country
to feed Europe this winter. That is
the shameful part of it. We cannot
take care of American farmers be-
cause we have got to feed Czecho-
Slovaks and other foreigners with un-
pronouncable Names"

After his capture the soldier was
rushed across the border into Mexico,
shot four or five times, and the multi.
ated body tossed into the Rio Grande.
The testimony given with regard to
the facts alleged was by Tom May

Reports that were circulated
of compromise about to be con-
sumated caused the Borah-J0hn-
son group of senators to become
highly indignant at Lodge, claim
ing that ne was surrendering.
1t is said that the insurgent
Republican Senators notified
Senator Lodge that if he accepts
the compromise as now proposed
they will recognize him no longer
as their party leader, and will
carry their schism to the primar-
les, and to the floor Of the nation
al convention, fighting him every
step.
1t is understood that the reason
Borah bolted with the Democrats
yesterday, which prevented cal
ling up the resolution to employ
attorneys for the naval investiga-
ti0n committee, was to show
Lodge that he (Borah) was not
bluffing.
