HOOVER FOR LEAGUE
 WITH RESERVATIONS
fRepublioan A. p. Leased uIrel

NEW YORK. May l3.-Herbert Hoover, replying by telegraph today to the request of the Hoover Republican club of Portland. Ore, for his views on various matters arising in the Ore- gon primaries" declared the Repub- lican party must support the league with reservations. It must not fall into the trap that the president ana Senator Johnson are enticing it into
 "The president has declared" MT. Hoover said, that tho Democratic party must demand the acceptance of the league in full as presented by him to the senate. Senator Johnson de- mands that the Republican party op- pose the league altogether. Two more destructive attitudes toward a great issue could not be found.
 An emergency is created by this allegiance of destruction. The aspira- tions of the great majority of our peo- pie will be thwarted by either of these extremes. This majority is fixed in it's determination that the United States, both for our own protection and in the interest of the welfare of the world, shall join the league by rati- flying the treaty, which provides for substitution of methods of peace for methods of war, but that we shall dc so only under assurance of no in- fringement of our constitution and our traditions

DANIELS 'BRANDS AS -FORGERY SIGNATURE
 ID CADLE MESSAGE
TRepubIican A. p. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON, May 13-Secretary Daniels told the senate naval investi- gating committee today that he had not signed a cablegram bearing what purported to be his signature, which was among those read to the com nittee by Rear Admiral Sims when the investigation began. The original of the message, Mr. Daniels said, did not show his signature and he added that his name had been forged to the copy presented by Admiral Sims.
 MT. Daniels declared Admiral Sims in his statement had stressed the words signed, Daniels" in commenting on the message. and had said that its purport had made him feel like jump ing overheard"
 The cablegram concluded with the sentence:
 Tn regard to conveys, I consider that American vessels having armed guards are safer when sailing independently.
 The original of the cable was found at the British embassy, through which it was transmitted. and was signed IA F. Garter. by direction of the chief of naval operations MT. Daniels told the committee, presenting copies of the original dispatch. He added that he had never held the opinion set forth and knew as soon as Admiral Sims read the message to the committee that he had not signed it.
 Somewhere somebody was guilty of signing my name to an official dis patch which the original produced shows I never signed" said MT Daniels, "or of altering a dispatch by erasing the real signature and substi- tuting Daniels I knew that if my name appeared on such telegram it would be because somebody had forged my name to it."
 Admiral sims owed both the country and himself an apology for the impression conveyed by testimony based upon the false signature, Mr Daniels said, and should produce the person who altered the signature.
 Secretary Daniels was told today of persistent rumors in Washington that disciplinary measures had beer ordered against Admiral Sims, effec- tive as soon as the senate inveseiga- tion ended.
 He denied that he had issued any such orders and said:
 Just now l am presenting a case before a senate committee. I have had no time to consider such a thing ] and have no further comment to offer regarding it. I will not even form a conclusion until all the evidence is in

PRESIDENT TALKS IF
 TENDENCY ID INVADE EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS
Congress Quickly Challeng- es Wilson Statement That It Shows Tendency to Un- duly Interfere
Republican A. p. Leased wireI

WASHINGTON, May l3.-President Wilson pointed1y informed congress to- day that in his opinion the legislative branch of the government was showing an increasing tenedncy to interfere un- duly with the exercise of executive functions
 Taking as a vehicle for his admoni- ton a sharply phrased veto of the an- nual legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, the president de- clared that one of the riders of the big supply measure would muzzle executive officials with a censorship" regulated by the congressional joint committee on printing.
 Immediately the presidents position both on the general principle involved and the specific case cited was chal- lenged by Republican leaders of the senate and house. Senator Shoot. Re publican, Utah, chairman of the joint committee, declared in formal state ment that the president apparently had been deliberately misinformed" about the appropriation bill, and Represen- tative Good, Republican, Iowa, chair man of the house appropriations com mittee, told the house that there must be some mistake somewhere"
 Whether re-passage of the bill un- changed will be attempted or whether the feature objected to by the president will be eliminated had not been decided tonight The measure carries S1O4,- 000, 900 for salaries and miscellaneous expenses of many government depart ments, and it must be approved in some form before the end of June or these funds will lapse.
 The president also cited several other measures enacted or proposed in the present congress to support his charge that there had been ian invasion of the province of the executive calcu- lated to result in unwarranted inter ference in the process of good govern ment" He said that some of these measures he had permitted to become law as temporary expedients but tha' he felt that the time had come to cal halt before destructive precedents had been established"
 The section of the appropriation bil which led to the veto would prohibii the printing or mimeographing of any government publication except by au- thority of the joint committee. Such z provision, said the president, would give to the committee power to de termine what information shall b' given to the public by the executive de partment-"
 A row between the joint committee and Roger W. Babson, formerly con. nected with the committee on public in formation was blamed for the presi- dents action by Senator Smoot, wht said in his statement that Babson ap parently had made use of the presi dent or his advisers in carrying out hi 1 threat and determination to end tn | censorship which, without the leas foundation, he has charged against tn joint committee"

IRepubllean A. p. Leased vlreI


 SAN FRANCISCO. May 13.-Trans- Pacific trade possibilities and obsta- cles to their realization, placed by what speakers termed governmental inefficiency and lack of coordination, were discussed today at the seventh annual national foreign trade eonven- ton here.
 Trade leaders from the Far East told how approximately one billion people, d vast majority of them more friendly to the United States than the Americans can imagine, are waiting on the Pacific shores for long needed de velopment of cable or wireless com munication and ships. Representatives from China, Japan, the Philippines French Indo-China and the Dutch East Indies described the wealth of resources of these countries awaiting development of commerce that will swing the world center of trade to the Pacific.
 American experts discussed neces- sary governmental steps to pave the way for world trade by Americans President Henry Suzzallo of the Gni- versity of Washington declared that reorganization of governmental aSen- cies and legislation to remove barriers the United States has set against American foreign traders is the first essential. Primarily, he said. greater freedom must be permitted for the combinations of industrial and finan- cial interests in a corporate way for foreign trade: foreign concerns must be relieved of the payment of excess profit taxes when they pay taxes to the country in which they are operat- ing, and an efficient system guaran- teeing adequate mail. cable and wire less communication by the govern ment must be inaugurated.
 Politics must be taken out of the diplomatic and consular service, de- clared Phillip B. Kennedy director oi the United States bureau of foreign aud 1or,astic service

 FREIGHT CONGESTION
LRepubIican A. P. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, May 13.-Congress was asked today to help the railroads overcome the freight congestion so as to keep production-needed to put down the cost of living-going full tilt
 As a means of enabling the roads to provide equipment, shortage of whics is said to be largely responsible for failure to move mountains of freight piled high at the principal gateways in the east and middle west, the sen ate interstate commerce committee ap- proved an amendment to the trans portation act under which the railroads would be given 15 years instead of five to pay back advances under the $300,- 000.0O0 revolving fund.
 Railroad officials said this would help, but they pointed out that the immediate trouble called for heroic measures to relieve congestion and that the carriers, for instance, required 226.000 cars to reach normal.
 While most of the roads were swamped with freight at junction points and big gateways. American Railway association officials said a perceptible improvement was shown by reports received from all sections
 Complaints still come from shippers, however, and the car service committee Of the association. which directs the car movement, endeavored to allocate equipment to sections and industries in greatest need.
 There was no embargo on the move ment of coal, livestock and perish ables and these commodities had a preferential rating and right of way next to passenger train service, which thus far has not been affected. Gov ernment agencies in touch with the transportation system put forth every effort to help relieve the situation. ad- mittedly bad, but not quite so bad as week or ten days ago.
