SENATE COMPLETES
 INVESTIGATION 0F CONDUCT OF NAVY
Fiske Takes Credit for Saw ing Both Secretary Dan- iels and the American
 Navy Itself
By Associated Press

Washington, May 2S-The Senate inves- tigation of the navy's conduct of the war was completed today and Chairman Hale said he hoped to have ready with ir a week a report embodying the com mittee's findings.
 Rear Admiral Sims was the only wit ness today, but the chairman read into the record supplementary statements from Rear Admirals Fullam and Fiske. replying to portions of the testimony of Secretary Daniels. Admiral Fiske re- viewed his efforts to obtain reorganiza- tion of the department when he was aide for operations and declared that but for his efforts the navy would have entered the war without the two principal agen, cies the secretary and his advisers de- clared to be vital-the office of chief Of naval operations and the administrative plan.
 Instead of abusing me. Admiral Fiske said T submit that the secretary ought to thank me for saving not only the navy. but himself.
 Admiral Fullam denied statements py Mir Daniels to the effect that he was a disciple of Von Tirpitz" and wished to Prussianze the navy. He declared that ne nau devoted HIS ille tO lic Piophp'hS of organization and preparedness. and that he was proud to have my name linked with the names of Sims anu Fske."
 OUTLINES LEGISLATION
 Admiral Sims told the commute that Secretary DanAi~ had attempted to gloss over the cricicislns of the depart ment's conduct of the war and reiterated his charge that MT. Daniels failed to d. rect the action required during the war to meet the urgency of the situation. Tn conclusion. the admiral submitted an outline of legislation for the reorganiza- tion of the department under which the civilian secretary would have two assist ants, one civilian and one military. the first to be charged with handling of all civil questions. including contracts. in- dustrial matters and appropriations. and the other to be responsible for all matters | of strictly military nature.
 | The bureau chiefs would be directly un-
 der the military adviser, who would be responsible for the efficiency of the navy ] it's readines for and it's conduct in war.

TEXANS ENTER OBJECTION

= >~
 Objection to the comm ission hearing
 the application was entered by F. H.
 Cowan and R. c. Fullbright represent
 ing Texas shippers. but Chairman
 Clark ruled that the petition should
 be presented and that argument
 against the southwestern roads obtain
 ing greater increase than the west
 ern group would be heard in regular order.
 MT. Halle contended that the freight rates in the western territory should be so distributed as to yield revenue most nearly approximate the needs of the carriers in the various sections. The 32.S0 per cent increase asked, he said, should be applied to rates on all freight traffic moving to-. from and within the territory as proposed except | in instances where the transcontinental rates apply alternatively' at points In the southw estern group.
 If the commission should decline to create a separate southwestern class ification, MT. Halle suggested that a | new group be inaugurated by combin- | ing the southwest with the southeast There two sections are similar in the 1 territory they serve and in the prod ucts. such as cotton and lumber. that are handled, and more naturally belong | together. he declared.
