DANIELS CENSURED
FOR NAVAL AWARDS
Majority Report Of Senate Com
mittee Sharply Criticizes
His Methods
DEMOCRATS ASSAIL SIMS

Washington. March S.-Three separ-
ate reports from the naval subcommittee
which recently investigated the contro-
versy over the award of war decorations
to navy officers are before the Senate
today.
A majority report signed by the three
Republican members Of the committee,
Senators Hale; Mccormick and Poin-
dexter, sharply criticized Secretary
Daniels for not having fully advised
officers as to his plans in making
awards. and asserted that his policy of
decorating officers who lost their ships
would be detrimental to the navy.
The other reports were submitted by
Senators Pittman and Trammell, the
two Democratic members Of the invcs.
tigating committee. Each defended Mr..
Daniels's course. and directed their at.
tacks at Rear Admiral Sims, who pre-
cipitatcd the wrangle by criticizing the
naval sccretary's course.
Senator Pittman characterized the
whole affair as q tempest in q tea
pot" and Senator Trammell declared
that the navy's morale had not been
broken, as was asserted by Admiral
Sims. He further said that Mr.. Daniels
had followed established naval custom in
changing recommendations of his sub
ordinates.
On two points all three Of the reports
agreed. The first was that no harm had
come to naval morale as result Of the
awards or the controversy. The second
was that enlisted men received too small
share of recognition for their services.
mo attempt was made to ascertain
from the officers making recommenda-
tions the relative merit of the cases rec
commended" the majority report stated,
'and the question of relative merit was
not considered as il should have been.
This the subcommittee regards as most
unfortunate. The subcommittee is of
the opinion that the failure to employ
some such system In making awards
has been hurtful to the morale of the
navy and has to certain extent depre-
ciated the value of the awards made.
That the injury to the morale of the
navy will be permanent, the subcom-
mittee does not believe"
Mr.. Pittman said: ''This investiga-
tion, like all congressional investiga-
tions of this character, serves no benefi-
cial purpose. but on the contrary,
through the airing of the personal griev-
ances Of an admiral.
Fletcher Inquiry Deferred
At Admiral Sims's request the naval
court of inquiry, appointed to investi-
gate the removal of Rear Admiral Will
liam b. Fletcher from command of
American naval forces at Brest by Ad-
miral Sims in October, 1917, adjourned
today soon after meeting to organize.
1t was agreed that the court would
reconvene ut such time as the course of

tion Of Admiral Sims's criticisms of the

SEEKS LOST TURKISH
BEAUTY IN AMERICA
Sheik Is Here to Find Heiress
Missing Since She Talked to
U. S. Sailor in Constantinople

New York, March S.-(By A. P.)-
Night" was told in New York last night
by Ben Mahomet, who proclaimed him
self sheik of Arabia and a brother
of the amir Of Hedjaz.
Ben Mahomet arrived here yesterday
with six retainers. His mission. he
said was a world wide search for Sari,
Turkish heiress. who, the sheik de-
clarcd, was plighted to marry the amir.
Sari. according to Ben Mahomet, was
last seen in Constantinopie talking to
n sailor from an American warship
which had put into that port. How
the Turkish maid was able to escape
the vigilance Of her nurse long enough
to hold this conversation was not ex-
planned by the chieftain, but after this
meeting, 1t seems, Sari disappeared.
Her father, Hadahismo, grieved bitterly
for the loss Of his daughter, who was
known the length and breadth of Tur-
key for her beauty and charity, and
soon he died, leaving her 800. 900. 900.
Hadahismo was in Turkey. according to
Ben Mahomet, "like Rockefeller is in
America
When it was considered certain that
Sari had left her native land. either
voluntarily or with an abductor, the
hllir IL Saiu 10 nave uskeu MS DrOtner,
who studied at Cambridge University in
England, to search the world for her
and to spare no expense.
From Turkey the sheik went to
France, thence to Italy and Tangiers
and finally set sail for the new world,
arriving in New York via Halifax.
Ben Mahomet announced that II de-
tcctives here failed him he would ap-
peal to the government in Washington
and seek to learn what ship it was
that touched at ConstantinOple soon
after the armistice, when Sari dis
appeared.

spicuous during the week.

DELAWARE FAVORS WOOD
General Wins Newspaper Poll. but
Lowden Has Strong Hold

New York, March S.-According ia
the DOLL taken by the Sun and New
York Herald in Delaware, Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood ranks first in popu-
lar sentiment for the Republican nom
ination for President. with Governor
Frank o. Lowden, Illinois, in second
place. but only step behind.
Political conditions are peculiar in
Delaware. They have been 80 twenty
wears, with factional fights in which the
du Pont feud has figured largely in re-
cent times. Although it is probable
General Wood will have two of the
state s delegates to tine Chicago con
vention, present Indications are that the
men who control the party will swing
the greater part of the delegation to
some other candidate.
Alfred l. du Pont, who stood on one
side of the fence against r. Coleman
du Pont and Henry A. du Pont, one
time senator, is said to have reached
the determination TO withdraw from
public life. 1t was the prevalent opin-
ion he was strongly for Wood, but his
retirement will leave the situation in
the hands Of II. Coleman du Pont and
his lieutenants, who, it is understood,
look most fayorably on the candidacy
of Governor Lowden.

"The system Is based on one vote

WashingtOn's Future
By RONALD S. O'NEILL.

We are told that there in the city OF washington a
few narrow ysoned men who whispering from street
corner to street Washington real estate values are
unsound-that the Nations Capital on the brink of sud
deaton in real estate pces-that naught but calamity
in store for Washington's future.
We would say to those men-if any there be-that so
long America wings her onward to greater oes and
grander achievements so long will Americas Capital keep
pace Washington is the heart of America and long
constructive energy courses through the mnuest vein of
American life so long will Washington the heart of America,
sustain and reflect that eneIgy
Without casting reflection upon any American city, with
attempting to belle the splendid achievements OF New
York Detroit Los Angeles it can truly be said that
no city earth be certain of her permanent growth
and stability Washington.
Home of liberty and of lght-souce and center of the
majesty and power of the worlds greatest GovemmentWah

Washington real estate values are not unsound. Real
estate values nowhere are sound Every who in
vests dollar Washington real estate does knowing that
the American Government has likewise invested its money
and staked the stability of that property Every
property owner in Washington is partner with the United
States ownership of his land So long that Govern
men functions he knows that the value of his land certain

The Washington times., 1920-06-26

Occasional evidences OF slight infia-
ton of values come to light In a gen
"a al survey OF the Geld. i't these
casual exsmples only serve to em-
phasize the general slaui ity auj
silidity OF realty values.
There can be no more exact thar
mometer of conditions in any com
munity than the community.s inan-
cial Institutions. The slightest indi-
cation of lack of stability in any bust
ness 10 always quickly and surely re-
corded In a tightening OF the credit
OF that business. Any real indication
OF lack of stability In Washington
real estate values would be immedt-
ately reflected in a Tightening OF
money to be used for building and
other real estate purposes.
STILL MAKING LOANS,
Is building money tight in Wash
ington today? l have made a very
careful tour OF the leading trust com
panies of Washington in an endeavor
TO learn the correct answer to this
question. i have asked both lenders
and borrowers. Thave found that the
majority OF Washingtons financial In
stitutions are making real estate
loans regularly in the same way and
III the bdIIit NOlufnt bdNS
been made heretofore.
1t Is true that there Is now a limited
supply of money available for build
ing purposes. But the consensus of
opinion is that the money is limited,
not because of any lack of faith in
the character of the real estate loans,
but because of the tremendous drain
upon the resources of all financial in
stitutions by the Government itself
and by practically every kind of in
dustry in the country
This Is a period of industrial expan-
sion. All lines of Industry are spread
out and building bigger. and they all
need and want money to assist them
in their growth. 1t is simply the o!d
anl well-known law of supply and
demand. The demand for money Is
far greater than the supply, and the
market is therefore tight.
Because OF this demand Tor money,
trvst companies have. found 1T neces-
