workmen, who were working behind the
vault, unearthed an old burglar alarm
which has not been connected with the

Bitter Fight Made on Con-

PLATFORM MODERATE

New York, May 10.-The CON
Servative" element demonstrated its
domination of the national conven-
tion of the Socialist party here to-
day when the tentative platform
and declaration of principles were
drawn up.
Both documents were considered
the most moderate put forward by
the Socialists in recent years. Rad
icals made n bitter fight against
them.
The statement of principles said
The Socialist party of America
seeks to attain its ends by orderly
and constitutional methods" and
Specialization Of industries should
be brought about as rapidly as tech
nical conditions permit"
TIE following principles were
adopted:
So long as the ballot-box and the
right of representation and civil
liberties are maintained, violence
will not appeal to the people.
Violence is not the weapon OF
the Socialists. but of the short
sighted representatives of the ruling
classes who stupidly believe the So
cialist movement and ideals can be
destroyed by brutal Physical repres-
sion.
Socialists depend upon education
and organization of the masses.
The convention voted to defer
nomination of candidates until . D.
m. Thursday.

He expressed regret that he bad
ever recommended Sims for honors.
But the navy stands without a

ADMIRAL sought to bespatter 1t, Dan

Daniels centered his first dav..
nre almost exclusively on Sims
dwelling on that officers feelings
toward Great Britain. which he de-
ciared were an "obsession."
Il did not krow Until long after-
wards that Admiral Sims had a
mind which genufected to British

takes" which Sims made into noun

said. He charged that the admiral
lacked vision" to grasp the nayy's
bold and aUdaciCus" plans such as
the mine barraGe; that he seemed
to accept the views of the British
admiralty as superior to those of
his own navy: that he gave maxi
mum credit to British accomplish
ments while minimizing Amerca's;
that he coveted" British decora-
tions and seemed to value them
more than those from his own gov
ernment: that he "aspired to be-
come a member OF the British ad-
miralty" and that he viewed pro-
lection of merchant shipping as the
main operation.

when he read his sensational at

wantonness of his charges. Now
that every scintilla of unjust criti-
cism has been completely and fully
and, overwhelmingly refuted, the
indignation of the people Of America
has risen to a feeling of national
outrage and condemnation" said
Daniels.
Secretary Daniels highly praised
