CAUCUS REJECTS
MR.. WILSON'S ADVICE

Washington, Feb. 9.-Rejecting
President Wilson's advice, House
Democrats in caucus tonight went on
record as opposed to universal mill
tary training by vote of 106 to II.
The President, in letters to Democra-
tic leaders earlier in the day, asked
that action be withheld so the party's
stand might be left to it's national
convention.
The rejection of the Presidents
appeal was double in its scope, for
before declaring against the military
training the caucus rejected, SO to
81, a proposal that action on the
question be deferred cat this time"
This vote, cast on the motion of Rep
resentative Doremus, Michigan, came
after a three hours discussion behind
closed doors, and immediately after
ward on the straight question univer-
sal training advocates dwindled to
seventeen.

HOOVER LIKELY
TO DEFEAT G. o. P.
DECLARES TAFT

Duluth, Minn., Feb. 10.-Herbert
Hoover and the League of Nations
are likely to exert considerable if
not decisive, influence in the coming
presidential election, former Presi-
dent William Howard Taft declared
here today, in a political discussion
with a group of prominent Duluth
citizens.
Mr.. Hoover has declared he is
with the party that supports the
League of Nations" Mr.. Taft said,
"and should he be nominated by the
Democrats and the Republicans chose
to make the league an issue, Mr..
Hoover would poll many Republican
votes. will not 60 so far as to say
this situation would result in split
ting the Republican party, but it
might spell defeat instead of victory
for the Republicans in the presiden-
itial contest"

CITY COUNCIL MEETS.

The City Council. met in regular
session Tuesday night, received re-
ports of the chief of police, the
health officer, the Water and Electric
Plant and the finance committee and
heard the reading Of the minutes of
the last meeting.
A committee from the Abbeville
Bonded Warehouse Co., appeared be-
fore council and asked that if the
proposed warehouse to built by this
company is located on the Seaboard
Railway would the city build six
inch main to the building in order
that proper water protection be OBJ
tanned, which in turn would insure
adequate insurance.
1t seems that two locations are
open to the company for the ware
house, one at the Southern depot and
me between the Seaboard depot and
the cotton mill. Council adopted re-
solution to allow the market price
for the present a inch pipe if the
Warehouse Co., would bear all en-
penses of laying a new 6 inch main,
making present connections, etc.

PHYSICIAN TELLS OF
WILSON'S CONDITION
Says His Improvement Has Been
Gradual and That All Rumors OF
Setbacks Are Rubbish-Nothing
to Conceal Says DR.. Young.
President Very Much
NBetter.

Baltimore, Feb. 1O.-The Balti-
more Sun today published a copy
righted dispatch from Washington IN
which was given an interview with
DR.. Hugh H. Young of John Hopkins
hospital at Baltimore on the condition
of President Wilson. DR.. Young has
been one of the physicians in at
tendance upon the PRESIDENT Dr..
Young, in part, said:
"From the very beginning the
medical men associated with the case
have never had anything to conceal.
When I first saw the president in
October, a crisis had arisen of such
gravity, owing to the development
of prostate obstruction that an
emergency operation to relieve this
situation was Contemplated, but by a
fortunate and wholly unexpected
change in the presidents condition
the obstruction began to disappear.
''The improvement in this respect
which has been steady is now COM
plete. The president was organically
sound when l visited him last week,
but further, all the organs were
functioning in a perfectly normal,
healthy manner.
'The presidents general condi-
tion and especially the slight impair
ment of his left arm and leg have
improved more slowly, it is true, but
surely, steadily.
"There have been no setbacks, no
backward steps, and rumors to this
effect are rubbish.

RAILROADS FACE
SERIOUS SITUATION
Possibility of Strike Looms Large
In Closing Days of Government
Railroad Administrations
come of Conferences During
Next "a Hours Will De-
termine Question.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The rail-
road administration, nearing the, end
of its control over the nations rail
transportation systems, tonight faced
"a critical situation with respect to
the wage demands of more than g.
100000 employees. Conferences to-
morrow between Director General
Hines and leaders of the workers
unions, probably will determine the
outcome of the situation.
Officials of the unions submitted
to the director general at today;s
meeting a new statement which serv-
ed to open up all important ques-
tions, on which the two sides were
at variance, and will require further
discussion before settlement can be
reached. Mr.. Hines informed the
union leaders he would reply to-
morrow to their new statement of
claims.
Meanwhile, W. G. Lee, president
of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, was pressing Mr.. Hines
for an answer to the demands of his
individual organization and insisting
the trainmen were ready to strike
unless a satisfactory settlement was
reached. Railroad administration Of
ficials aso received informal notice
that they must contend with strike
called by the Brotherhood of Mainte-
nance of Way Employees and Shop
Laborers. Farther than admitting
that he had given the railroad ad-
ministration the required 80 days
notice of intention to cancel the,
present wage contract on February
23, Mr.. Lee declined to discuss the
plans of his organization. The strike
FoIS IohCu uuueI Ills lISITuCGlOIlS
was said to show large majority of
the trainmen favorable to strike.
This last phase of the situation
was giving railroad administration
officials concern because, should the
ltrainmen walk out, an almost COM
iplete tie up of traffic could be the
only result. The thousands of engin-
eers, firemen and conductors could
not operate the trains, for in many
states they would be forbidden to
work under "full crew" laws unless
jail trainmen required were on duty,
it was explained. Union bylaws also
tprohibit other employees from TAX
ing out trains not manned by the
regulation number of brakemen.

LEAGUE DEBATE TO
BE DELAYED UNTIL
EARLY NEXT WEEK

| Washington, Feb. 10.-The peace
treaty referred to the senate foreign
relations committee yesterday to
technically rid Of cloture, was re-
ported back today by the committee
without debate and without a re-
cord vote. Republican and Demo-
cratic leaders agreed, however, not
ito take it up in the senate until next
week.
The committees action was entire
ly perfunctory, the senate having
given instructions that the treaty be
reported out Immediately together
with the Republican reservations
adopted at the last session of con-
igress. The parliamentary result is
to bring the treaty and the reserva-
tions again into status where
amendment to either can be offered
and discussed without any limitation
ion debate.
The reason for delay given is that
the conference report on the rail-
road bill is due this week and that
the diplomatic and consular appro-
priation bill should be acted on at
once. Senator Lodge wants to clear
away pending legislation before TAX
ing up the treaty. In the meanwhile
intense activity\is likely in an effort
to frame a modification of Senator
Lodges reservation on article K
which will get Ga senator's votes
(the two thirds necessary for ratifi-
cation), and at the same time be ac-
ceptable to President Wilson.

NEWBERRY TRIAL
is SPEEDED UP
BY GOVERNMENT

Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. TO-
Frank C. Daley, special attorney
general, continued questioning of
witnesses for the prosecution today
in the trial of Senator Truman H.
Newberry and 121 co-defendants
charged with violation of the cleo
tion laws in 1918. Indications were
that the government attorney was
making an effort to speed up the
proceedings, larger number of wit
resses having been disposed of yes
terday than on any one previous day
of the trial.
Newberry's correspondence regard
ing the Gold Star club, said to have
been organized by Thomas J. O'Brien
former ambassador to Japan, and
other citizens of Grand Rapids, was
introduced as evidence yesterday. In
addition there was a telegram from
Frederick P. Smith, manager of the
Newberry estate in Detroit, to Com
mander Newberry, in New York, re-
garding election expenses, and an
other of the defendants was quoted
as saying before the general elec-
ton:
Real Barrel of Money.
eve are going to get real bar
rel this time"
The letters which mentioned Am
bassador O'Brien were introduced
while Claude T. Hamilton vice presi-
dent of the Michigan Trust COM
pany and chairman of the Kent
county Republican committee, was on
the stand. The defense tried vainly
to exclude them because they were
written in September, 1919, more
than year after the election in
volved in the conspiracy charge.

is DETRIMENTAL TO
FIGHTING SPIRIT OF
NAVY, SAYS MARSHALL

Washington, Feb. 10.-Admiral
William S. Sims today accused Sec
Iretary of the Navy Daniels of pur-
suing a "defeatist policy" This pol
icy, Admiral Sims declared, is more
detrimental to the fighting spirit OF
the navy than the worst form of
Bolshevism is to organized govern
ment.
Admiral Sims, whoi resumed his
testimony before the senate naval af-
fairs subcommittee investigating
medal awards, declared he is willing
to make any personal sacrific to
prevent such a policy getting a
permanent hold in the navy.
"The policy of rewarding defeat
which the navy department openly
supports, is more detrimental to the
fighting spirit of our navy or any
other military organization in the
world, than the worst form of Boil
shevism is to organized government" "
Admiral Sims declared.
Would Sacrifice Self.
"By injecting this 'defeatist germ
into our navy and attempting to
make it a permanent policy, I believe
that inestimable harm will result
unless something can be done to
eradicate it before it becomes Off
cially established in the service.
"I am willing to undertake any
risk or make any sacrifice regardless
of personal consideration to prevent
this defeatist policy from getting a
permanent hold. I believe it is more
important for the future safety Of
the country to eliminate it than to
build a dozen battleships.
"What is the use of spending mil
lions for battleships if you are going
to offel special rewards for the Off
GERS who sink them?"

DECORATION ROW
TAKES NEW TURN

Washington, Feb. 10.-The con-
troversy over naval war decorations
took new turn today before the
senate investigating committee, the
question of just what was said in
conversations between Rear Admiral
William S. Sims and trio of men,
,bers of congress in Paris during the
war, displacing to some extent in
1u; ries .nto changes made by Secre-
tary Daniels in decorations recon-
mended by Admiral Sims. Secretary
Daniels before the committee had re-
ferred to a speech in the house by
Representative Byrnes in ! which the
South Carolina representative assert
ed that Admiral Sims had told him
the armistice was forced on the allies
by failure of the American army to
break through the German lines, the
failure being due to collapse of
the American service Of supply. Ad-
miral Sims today denied that he had
made such assertions, except as to
repeating rumors then current in
France and which, he said, he warn
ed his visitors not to believe. He de-
MED flatly other statements attribu-
ted to him by Representative Byrnes,
said to be belittle the part of the
American navy in the war, and as
serted he had not told Byrnes and
his associates that the American
merchant marine should not be
developed and the seas be left to
Great Britain.
Chairman Hale asked Representa-
tive Byrnes and Whaley and Senator
Glass to come before the committee
Representative Byrnes, the first Of
the three to be heard, not only reit-
Grated all he had previously said, bit
added that he had personally re.
ported his conversation with Ad-
miral Sims to President Wilson be-
fore Mr.. Wilson made his first trip
to Paris.
Senator Glass, who was member
of the lower house at the time, wails
recalling the conversation with Ad
miral Sims much as Byrnes reported
it, put a somewhat different inter.
probation on what the officer il.:C
said. He did not understand l,,in:;r&.
Sims to wish to "discredit the army
he said, adding:

ply telling US what he had heard

GERMANS MEET TO
STUDY ExTRADITION
DEMANDS OF ALLIES

Berlin, Feb. 10.-The committee
on foreign affairs of the national
assembly met today to consider the
extradition question. 1t seems inn
probable a reply to the entente de-
mand for the surrender of the Ger
mans whose names are contained on
the list recently delivered will be sent
until a response is received by the
German government to it's note of
January 25. I'm this note Germany
asked the allies to renounce the exc
cution of the extradition article of
the peace treaty, affirming that it
would inevitably cause political and
economic troubles, the. alternative
proposed being a trial of the persons
involved to be held in Germany with
the participation of allied representa-
tives.) The newspapers declare un-
animously the attitude of the gov
ernment toward the extradition ques-
ton is unchanged.
The association of German regu-
ar soldiers carried out big demon
stration yesterday against accept
ance of the extradition demand. SINH
lar demonstrations were held in the
provinces.
In addition to the persons of Ger
mans on the extradition list, the
allied powers demand access to ar
chives and possession of all German
documentary evidence, so that prose-
cution may be facilitated. The COW
ering note is understood to declare
the Allies do not propose to grant
amnesty to men not named in the
list but will reserve the right to
prosecute them, should they be ap-
pretended on entente soil.
The entente letter was described
today as "not in the nature of an
ultimatum."
The text of the letter, it was said,
has eased the situation considerably
from the German point of view.
The letter, it was learned, was
signed by Great Britain, France, Ru-
mania, Poland, Jugo-Slavia, Czecho-
Slovakia, Belgium, and Italy. 1t as
serts that the list does not include
all the war guilty Germans, but
names for the sake of practicability
only those who are chiefly response
BILE for war crimes.
Germany can not conclude neces-
sarily that other war guilty have
been granted amnesty, for the en-
tente reserves the right to prosecute
them if they are found in entente ter
ritory.
Premier Millerand, of France, in
a letter to Premier Bauer made pub
lie today, said France considered the
act of Baron Kurt Won Lersner, for
mer head of the German delegation
in Paris, who resigned rather than
transmit the list and it's GOVERN 9
letter to Germany, as purely Pc
sonal and did not hold the German
government responsible.
