Forecast of Measure

In general, conferees said today,
the measure that come from con-
conference will recognize long-es-
tablished theories of railroad legisla-
ton, rather than new ideas. 1t will
make the function of the interstate
commerce commission more impor-
tant than at present. Because of the
added responsibility and work which
the measure will give the commits
sion, an increase in membership
from nine to eleven is to be provided
for.
The commission is to have general
supervision of the reorganization
contemplated after the return Of the
roads. Under the Cummins bills pro-
visions for a transportation board
there was a certain rigidity about
the reorganization plan. Under the
conference agreement, the reorgani-
zation plan is elastic, and the ele-
ment of compulsion is absent. Con-
'solidation of railroads. for instance,
is to be worked out by the commits
sion, which may decide on large
number of systems or a very small
number, according to its view of the
conditions.
In large measure the. conference
agreement, as it stands, is a victory
for the house. The Cummins bill,
containing many radical departures
from tradition with regard to rail
road legislations, prevailed in only a
few instances. One of these was the
provision for a division of excess
returns.

DEMOCRATS MAY
INJECT PROHIBITION
Dinner Given in Honor of Chairman
of National Committee-Governor
Edwards Injects Wet and Dry Is
sue in Speech.

! sue In SPeech.
:. New York, Feb. 5.-Prohibition
and the Sims-Daniei controversy
were injected tonight into the testi-
monial dinner given here to Homer
S. Cummings, chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee, at which
Secretary Daniels was the principal
speaker. One thousand invitations
had been issued to the banquet which
was attended by prominent Demo
Gratis from all parts of the country.
The prohibition issue was brought
into the proceedings by Governor
Edwards, Of New Jersey and Gov
ernor Smith of New York and was
greeted with obviously mingled feel
iings by the diners. Governor Ed
wards was not on the official list of
speakers and was called upon unex-
pectedly after Secretary Daniels had
concluded his address. Earlier in
the evening the New Jersey execu-
tive had been given striking ova-
! tion when he entered the dining
hall and there was an even greater
demonstration when he arose to
speak.
/ Governor Edwards declared that
great issue had emerged from the
past "the issue of state rights and
personal liberty" He asserted that
this issue must be decided by the
people next November.
''If the federal government" he
continued, "may avert the doctrines
of state rights and, without COM
mission or mandate from the pes-
pie, enter upon ou1 firesides and in
to our homes with the bureaucratic
system of officeholIers and &C.
lordship, the theory of our constitu-
tional government and all the rights
incident to home rule and local state
government are destroyed. Under
such a system the ir4cssructible
union of destructible states become
a myth and we have the necessary
alternative of a. great super-power
at Washington, imposing it's will up
en- Us in the direction of our habits,
our manners, our tastes and our
ocal customs, until nothing is left
of the independent state of our
fathers but the name.
Means to Fight.
"To me this situation is a political
sacrilege and l purpose to carry the
light to San Francisco, regardless of
what any man or set of men may
personally think so as to bring
about a popular restatement of the
doctrine of state rights and popular
local home rule upon which our
fathers founded this government"
Governor Smiths contribution to
the prohibition issue was contained
in a telegram expressing his regret
that illness prevented his being pre-
sent. In his telegram Governor
Smith said:
"Do not forget the time honored
Democratic doctrine that the govern
ment is most effective which governs
the least. This precept of Democratic
faith in the recent past has been
grievously and wilfully sinned
against when, in the name of demo
cracy, there was imposed upon 1Oo,-
100000 free people, without asking
their direct consent, restriction to
their personal liberty which Prussia
in her palmiest days ever dreamed

WILSON GIVEN
CREDIT FOR PLAN
Or;e;rated Plan For Bottling Up Sub
narines-Laid His Plan Before
Naval Staff-Record of Congress
Attacked BY Daniels.

New York, Feb. 5.-President Will
son was given credit here tonight by
Secretary Daniels, speaking at the
Democratic club dinner to Homer s..
Cummings. national chairman, for
having seen the necessity of shutting
German submarines off the seas as
the only effective method of COM
battling them before naval staffs
con either side of the water" moved
to that end.
"You must shut up the hornets in
their nest" the president was quoted
by Mr.. Daniels as having said in a
quarterback speech to officers of the
battleship Pennsylvania, early in the
war, for you never can end the sub
marine peril if you let them out and
then have to devote yourselves to
chasing them all over the ocean,"
''The barrage finally built across
the North Sea-" Mr.. Daniels said,
was the American navy's answer to
the presidents counsel. 1t was pro-
posed by Admiral Earle (chief of
ordnance) in April 1917, approved
by Admiral Benson and Admiral
Mayo, by the general board, by the
secretary of the navy and by the
president. 1t was the greatest new
constructive naval measure of eff
fectiveness in the whole war. 1t was
a factor both in destroying the
morale of the German navy and in
its deadly destruction of sub
marines"
Record Of Congress.
President Wilson had also pointed
cut before naval staffs had reached
that conclusion, Mr.. Daniels said,
"that the only way to most surely
safeguard merchant ships was to
send in conveys protected by armed
ships"
The secretary attacked the record
of congress since 1918 when "dishpn-
est appeal to hyphenated politics en-
abled the Republicans to elect ma
jority of this congress" and declared
ther~people had "already found they
Spt a gold brick" That record, he
characterized as certain to defeat
the Republican. party next November
"c2;j it is certain that the Democrats
will have the wisdom to go forward
2G.l nominate a great leaLeT E;ho Is
himself platform of constructive
legislation"
Mr. Daniels said he believed that
league of nations such as that pro-
posed in the treaty would enable the
world to maintain peace without
ccc:-~n.::tivc ncval building but that
without such league, American
duty was "as plain as pikestaff." He
quoted President Wilson'S statement
in 1916 that the navy should be
"incomparably the most adequate ma
Wy in tho We i'd" and added that none

PRESIDENT WILSON
NOT CONSULTED ON
LORD GREY LETTER

Washington, Feb. 5.-Presldent
Wilson resents British interference
in the domestic affairs of the United
Estates and while in the interest of
good relations and the passage of
the treaty no formal incident has as
yet been made of Lord Grey's letter,
there is no question of the displeas-
ure of the incumbent of the White
House.
In these columns on Tuesday it
was pointed out that while the letter
of Lord Grey had pleased the Re-
publican leaders, it had offended the
true friends of President Wilson and
strengthened the band of "irrecon-
cilables" in the senate who were
thankful for the phrase. "a t2nge
into the unknown" contributed by
the distinguished British envoy as a
comment on the League of Nations.
But it was not evident until two
days more passed that the suspicion
of White House resentment against
the Grey letter was we'll founded.
The confirmation came in one of
these subtle ways, which President
Wilson has of expressing his thoughts
iby implication. The presidents secre-
tary permitted the correspondents
to quote his answer to a question
they had asked him concerning re-
port that the president had been con-
suited by Lord Grey before publish
ing his famous letter in the London
Times commenting on the conflict
between executive and legislative
branches of our government. The
answer was an emphatic statement
that the president had not been con-
suited.
Ways to Reach President
To the criticism that President
Wilson was inaccessible and could
not be seen by Lord Grey, it was
moreover officially stated that mat
ters of this kind could be put in writ
ing and that it was customary for
diplomats to communicate by writ
ten rather than by oral correspond
ence. In fact ambassadors or mini
sters rarely see the president and DO
most of their business by informal
note or memorandum. There were
plenty of ways by which Lord Grey
nigh: have reached the president,
and moreover the secretary of state
was ready at all times to talk with
the British envoy and did, in fact,
receive him and communicate in
writing to President Wilson exactly
what Lord Grey said on each oc-
casion.
But the point of the White House
pronouncement seems to be that
British ambassador to the United
States, who still holds that rank so
far as the United States is officially
advised, but who is absent from his
post, has expressed hircself quite
fully on American domestic affairs
at a moment of intense feeling be-
tween rival political branches of the
American government.
Lord Grey is at home and prob
ably has not intended to return to
the United States anyway, so there
lis no question that he felt hir,3c!f
about to be relieved of official
duties and free to speak.

GERMANS REFUSE
DEMANDS OF ALLIES
TO SURRENDER MEN

Berlin, Feb. 5.-Surrender Of the
men demanded by the allies is impos-
sible, the Associated Press was in
formed by member of the govern
mentsat the conclusion of tonight s
cabinet session.
The cabinet meeting which lasted
several hours, was attended by Math-
las Erzberger, the vice premier and
minister of finance, swhose appear
ance was his first at a meeting of the
ministry since he was shot in the
shoulder in an attempt to assassinate
him.
Rumors that crisis was impending
in the government are declared by
the Lokal Anzieger to be groundless.
The cabinet members are in complete
agreement on Germany's policy, the
newspaper AYERS.
It is learned that in addition to
the names previously given the extra
dition list includes the names of
Frederick Won Ongonohl, Djemal
Pasha, former Turkish minister of
war, Rupert Won Clipper and Admir-
al Won Schroeder, former commander
of the naval corps. These men were
demanded unanimously. The list as
reaching Berlin contains about 900
names. Fully 80 per cent. of the
men are unknown even to the general
public of Germany.
Faulty transmission resulted in
gross misspellings and the omission of
initials and other marks of identiica-
ton to indicate the respective per-
sons meant, while names like Mueller
and Schmidt recur a score of times.
France and Belgium each demand
surrender of 334 men. Poland 81, Ru-
mania Il, Serbia 4, Italy 25 and Eng
land 96.
The appearance of the name of
count Won Bernstorff, former Ger
man ambassador to the United States
is accounted for here by his connec-
ton with Bolo Pasha, executed in
france in 1918 as a traitor.

London, Feb. 5.-The German
chancellor, Gustav Bauer, in state
ment to the press, said, according tc
a Berlin wireless message here:
"Our standpoint was explained In
the note of January 25, and we
again emphasize it. Thus we shall
strictly avoid any provocation.
"For this reason the government
regrets that Baron Won Lersner re.
fused to forward the entente note. In
any such action the interests of the
whole nation must be decisive, and
not the honor of a single Individual u
The German note of January rs
begged the allies to renounce execu,
ton of Article 22S of the peace treaty
requiring the surrender of persons
accused of acts in violation of the
laws and customs of war.
The note affirmed that the execu-
tion of Article 22S would infallibly
cause political and economic troubles,
which would have serious effect on
the production of the nation.
The German government proposed
that the trial of such persons be held
in Germany with the participation OF
allied representatives.
