TO WORK FOR
MORE REFERS
Kennewick Asked to Join in a
Campaign to Get More Cars
for Yakima Valley Fruit

Kennewick has been asked by the
Commercial club of Yakima to coop
crate in campaign to make fight
for more refrigerator cars for moving
this years crop and to protest against
a further increase in the freight rates
on fruits and vegetables.
The indications are that there will
be more serious shortage of refrig-
orator cars this year than last and it
is proposed to organize the entire Yak
ina Valley for the purpose of seeing
to it that this valley is given it's just
share of the available cars. It is es-
timated that to properly conduct this
campaign fund of $4,000 will be re-
quired. It is proposed to raise this
fund by means of subscriptions from
the business men and a payment by
the fruitgrowers Of one-quarter cent
a box on their fruit.
At the regular meeting of the Com
mercial club last Thursday evening
plans for bringing Kennewick into the
campaign were left in the hands of a
committee composed of the managers
of. the local fruitshipping organiza-
tions. This committee will probably
call a joint meeting of the business
men and orchardists as soon after the
Fourth as possible.

MOULTON TO RUN
FOR LEGISLATURE
Local Attorney will Seek Repub-
lican Nomination in Sep
tember Primaries

M. M. Moulton today announced that
he will this fall seek the republican
nomination for Benton county's rep
resentative in the state legislature.
In announcing his candidacy Mr..
Moulton said he has no. thought of
seeking political career and that he
is too busy to devote but little of his
time to conducting a campaign. His
decision to become candidate is the
result of his study of the present ir-
rigation laws. He believes that one
of the biggest development problems
with which the state has to deal today
is that of reclamation Of the waste
areas and knows that the question of
irrigation is one in which the people
of this vicinity are vitality interested.
His experience as attorney for five
irrigation districts has convinced him
that u01ess there is some more ad-
vanced reclamation legislation the
development of this county and like
wise, of the state will be materially
retarded and it is in the hope that he
may be able to put thru needed legis-
lation along this line that he becomes
candidate.
Mr.. Moulton says he cannot quail
fly as politician for the reason that
he has never taken an active part in
the affairs of any political party, hav-
ing. plyed the role of the voter rather
than that of party leader or worker.
Mr.. Moulton has made his home in
Kennewick for more than ten years,
in which time as senior member of the
firm Of Moulton & Henderson and lat
er Of Moulton &. Jeffrey, has built up
one of the largest law practices in the
county. He has a large acquaintance
in all parts Of the county.

DANIELS CLEARS CHARGE OF SIMS;
 SAYS SIMS LIED

In a statement made before the special senate investigation commit tee, appointed to inquire into the Sims Daniels row, Secretary Daniels stated today that Sims charge that the navy department lacked plans and was unprepared for war was an uniformed and wanton statement. And in support of his claim, Daniels detailed the naval preparations cov ering a period of four years prior to the war, that had been made by his department. These preparations, he said, had followed Dewey's out line as far as Congress permitted. He also cited Rooseyelt's message of 1905, in which the former Pres;- dent declared it to be unnecessary in the immediate future to increase the naval units.
 Daniels ridiculed the charge of Sims that 5OO,OOO lives had been sacrificed through delay on the part of the American navy. There never was a time, he said, when tonnage was not available to carry troops and supplies to France as fast as they could be landed and sent to the front. Complete cooperation between the army and navy existed at all times, he said, and had short. ened the war materially.
 Daniels declared further that Sims lacked vision and had belittled the work of the American navy in con- trast to that of the British navy. He coveted British decorations, Dan- iels charged, and aspired to become a member of the British admiralty. Those officers who had supported the Sims charges, the secretary con- tinued, were men with grievances.
 In conclusion, Daniels declared that the record of the navy stands untouched today and for all time, in spite of criticism from within and from without.
 Earlier in the hearing, Daniels submitted a cablegram which had been sent by the President to Ad miral Sims at London, during the war, and in which the President expressed surprise that the admiral ty had failed to use Britain's great naval superiority effectively against the German submarines. He called upon Sims for comments and sug- gestions, based on independent thought, regardless of British judg- ment. He pointed out that the British were helpless to the point of panic in face of the submarine warfare, and had rejected plans for relief on the grounds of prudence. The President called attention to the fact that the time was not one for prudence-that the situation de- manded boldness even at the cost of great loss
 Regarding the North sea mine barrage, Secretary Daniels inform ed the senators that the planting of the mines had been delayed fully six months by Sims, who sided with the British in opposition to the plan.
