Sees Suffrage Scheme
"What's the use of all this camou-
fage2" began Representative Nc
Nabb in taking the floor. "We all
know that the idea of this recessing
is to bolster up the dying suffrage
cause in the faint hope that by con
tinually bringing us back here there
will be enough week-kneed legisla-
tors to put ratification across.
"But there are no weakened leg
islatOrs here, Mr.. Speaker and l
serve notice row that if the scheme
for these short recesses is insisted
upon eighteen members, including
myself, stand ready to tender our re-
signation."
Representative SOper also spoke
against the short recess, saying chat
it was time the farmers got back to
their work instead of fiddling away
their time doing noting.
Final action was deferred and q
committee, consisting of Representa-
tive Lyons, Clendaniel and Mulvena
representing the House, and Senators
Walker, Poole and Latta, acting fol
the Senate, held a conference anc
agreed to an amendment extending
the time to May 5. This proved sat.
isfactory to the House and the reso
luton as amended was passed and re-
turned to the Senate, being quickly
concurred in by that body. Repre-
sentatives Mulverine, Lloyd, Lord anC

Washington, May 25.-Secretary
 Daniels accused the Senate naval in
 vestigating committee today with
 "dieging up ancient history and air
 ing the grievances and grudges of dis
 eruntled naval officers The accusa-
 tions came during long series or
 questions from Chairman Hale regard
 ing disappearance in 1914 from the files
 of the naVy department of letter from Rear Admiral Bradley Fiske on naval preparedness.
 Mir Daniels told the committee that
 he had no objection to prolonging the
 hearings by going back as far as 1914 but said he did not see how the mat ters referred to had any bearing on the question of the naval conduct or
 the war. Chairman Hale replied he was seeking to show that Secretary Daniels was warned by his chief tech
 nical advisers that the American navy
 was not prepared for war previous to the entry of the United States into the war.
 The chairman virtually charged MT. l Daniels at another point with having withheld from the Senate a letter from Rear Admiral Austin M. Knight. writ ten in August, 1914 advising the i'm
 mediate withdrawal of American bat l tleships from Mexican waters and the preparation of the navy for possible 1 oventualities resulting from the world l hapipninQ To gunDOrt 1 fis contention Senator Hale read a i Senate resolutoon asking for communi- l cations from the navy general board 1 regarding war preparation Of the navy

 ing Bill Thursday
BY Associated Rrsss

Washington. May 25.-House leaders were up in the air today over the ques- tion of soldier relief legislation.
 With democrats and about fifty of their own number attempting to block irnnle- diate consideration, leaoers started new move in the hope of breaking the eombt- nation so that the bill might be presented to the Holse not later than Tuesday.
 Although Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee. announced he planned to call up the measure Thurs day there were indications of pos sible change in the republican pro- gramme but some uncertainty as to what might happen. Instead Of the effort to give the relief bill the right of way Of a special rule republicans fighting Tor the bonus decided on other parliamentary tactics and announced that they would endeavor to get it before the House by susrension of the rules. Although this would require two-thirds vote for pass age. the plan would permit only a straight out vote for or against adoption.
 Democrats asserted they would put dp a solid front, and with the help Of in surgent' republicans, defeat the big tax measure They claimed that supporters of the bonus had failed to obtain sufri- clent votes to give it the right of way.
 While House leaders were fighting oe- hind the scenes, Senator sherman, re- publican, Illinois. speaking in the Senate. oenounced the proposed legislation "as an attempt by the American Legion to loot the federal treasury.
