Political Aspect.
Congress is divided on strictly
party lines over the Sims Daniels con-

welcome the investigation. they say,
because II shows how the Administra-

Democrats Insist the opposition party
will derive slight benefits from the
affair.

the Republicans would get no polit,-

dispute.
1T is the old fight of the military
arm OF the Government against ths
civil authority" he said, "the strug-
gle OF the military autocrats to be
supreme. The political effect on the
Administration will not amount to
anything"
Representatives Frank w. Mondeli
OF Wyoming. Republican leader of
the House, said that he and other
Republicans welcomed the fullest ex-
posure by Admiral Sims OF conditions
surrounding the navy In the war as
tending to show how the Adminlstra-
tion meddled with foreign conditions
and entangled this country. They
say the people will resent this.
Representative Cordell Hull. Demo
crat, of Tennessee, said
"Whateyer i'll effect Admiral Simr'
charges might have on the Admins

by the evident animus behind these
charges. While the people would

F|REMEN'SPA BILL
PASSEDBY SENATE
Increase of $500 Per Annum,
Retroactive to Aug. !, 1919,
Meets Stiff Resistance.

Senator Calder of New York pre-
ticipated a lively row In the Senate
today when he called up the con-
ference report on the nremen's In
creased pay bill.
Senator Thomas of Colorado and
Senator Dial of South Carolina i'm
mediately called for a vote on the mo-
ton to take up the report.
1t was finally adopted in the same
form as approved in the House. after
members Of the Washington Fire De-
partment were roundly scolded by
Senator Dial for sitting around en-
gine houses and leading the life OF
Riley" generally
objection to the conference report
was based on the ground that the
Senate conferees had agreed to the
House figures giving the fremen 5000
year more than the SeI.ate agreed
TO pay them.
This increase Is not warranted"
said Senator Dial, "and it should not
be retroactive"
Under the bill as 1t goes to>Presi-
dent Wilson for his signature the in
creased pay dates back to August !,
1919, instead OF beginning with the
passage of the bill, as Senator Dial
sought to change 1t.
Have Nothing to DO.
"The position of firemen is not ardu-
Gus, protested Senator Dial. "All they
have to do is to sit in the fire engine
house most Of the time. ana put out
fire now and then.
Senator Dial declared that Wash
ington fireman don't have to scale any
skyscrapers as they do in bigger
cities, nor do they run half the risks.
"It seems to me 1t is getting time
to put on the brakes" he said. I'VE
appropriate as though money grows
on trees. There isn't any reason for
the retroactive feature in this bill.
Another thing, the report is en-
tireIy out of line with the times. The
firemen are getting very near every
thing free. as 1t is. Free books. free
lodging. and even free water"
Senator Thomas of Colorado re-
minded Senator Dial that 1t was al
most useless thing to lecture Con-
gress about economy.
The Colorado Senator declared this
Is the day of robbers. He protested
that Government employees are organ
izing under the American Federation
of Labor, that farmer 8 are organic
ing, that even returned soldiers are
preparing to besiege Congress In an
effort to get large bonuses.
Both Senators, however, showedi the
futility of defeating the conference
report on the firemen's increased pay
bill, and did not attempt to hold 1t
up further when they saw a majority
of the senate was in favor of accept
ing it,
Senator Calder defended the action
Of the conferees in acceding to the
House figures and declared the f1re
department deserved the increasd pay.
Tn new scale of increases dating
back to August 1, 1919. will be in ef-
feet as soon as President Wilson
signs the bill.

Physicians Forbid Wilson TAX
ing Active Part in Political
Campaign.
BY DAVID nj. CHURCH,
4. N. 8. stan Correspondent.


President Wilson will not take an
active part in the pre-convention
political activities, it was learned at
the White House today.
While political leaders are anxious
to have him appear in public and to
participate in early campaign meet
ings, the President will not make
any public appearance for several
weeks, it was stated on the best au-
thority today.
Church Appearance First.
When the President does appear In
public II is not likely that IL will be
at a political gathering. but instead
IL will be at church. 1t Is now plan
ned that the President shall attend
services at his church here on the
hrst occasion when he leaves the
White House and signifies that his
health again permits him to par
ticipate in public activities.
The President is improving in
health. according to Dr. Cary Gray
son. but his improvement is decidedly
slow. DR.. Grayson declares that each
week shows an Improvement. but day
py DAY IL ls 30 SLOW as W DC haiuiy
perceivable.
II is the purpose OF DIR. Grayson
and others close to the White House
to insist upon the President pro-
ceeding very slowly during his con-
valescence, and every precaution is
being taken to prevent any over-ex'
srtion. The President, himself, is per-
sistent in his efforts to do those
things which his physician advise
against. He desires to become as &C.
tive as his health permits, but hts
physicians insist upon conservation
of his strength. For several weeks
the President has been insistent upon
being allowed to take a motor trip
but this desire has been overruled.
Takes Daily Outings
That the President is in a condi-
tion that is far from being one of
great weakness Is indicated by the
daily trip. which he takes through the
White House Grounds. The President
insists upon these outings. despite
the weather. and on several occasions
he has gone about the White House
Grounds when perfectly healthy
Washingto toAians were keeping In
doors as much as possible.
There is much conjecture here also
as to the activities Of the President
during the coming campaign. 1t Is
learned upon excellent authority that
it is not likely that the Presidents
health will permit him to become a
very active factor in the campaign,
and If he makes campaign speeches
they will be few, and will be in cities
where he will not be called upon to
make lengthy trips by train.
To Campaign With Pen.
While the President may be In q
condition to take a fairly active part
in the campaign. to do so would in
jure his future health, and 1T is be-
lieved that he will yield to the ad-
vice of his physicians on this point.
President Wilson in the present
campaign is most likely to confine
the major part of his activities to
his writings.
