Miss Whites Declaration
Filed Today, Is Test Case;
Is First Woman to File

Esther Griffin White has filed her
declaration to become delegate to
the Republican state convention from
the Fourth ward.
This will be a test case to determine
if women can get their names on the
primary ballot. She is the first woman
in Indiana to try to represent ward
in state convention.
1t probably will require an opinion
of the attorney general to establish
the legality of her action. Should the
Susan B. Anthony amendment be rati-
fed. there will be no question about
it's legality.

DRIVE FOR HOUSES
IS STARTED IN CITY;
HOME co. BACKS IT

The drive for more homes in Rich
mond was formally opened Monday
by Howard A. Dill, of the Richmond
Home Construction company. Four
thousand letters, giving in detail the
needs of the city with reference to
houses, were distributed through the
schools of the city.
Each letter contained a blank card
asking patrons to the school whether
they would be interested in purchas-
ing a home, the cost of which Is estl-
mated at $4,000 to $4,000, on small
payments.
Each of the school children was
asked to have the card filled out by
his parent and returned to the school.
Coupons, similar to the cards are also
published in the newspapers or the
city, and all interested persons are
urged to fill out the coupons and send
them to Howard A. Dill.
In this manner, the company hopes
to ascertain just how many people in
the city are interested in owning
their homes. The company's plan in
cludes the building of the homes and
selling them to citizens with small
initial payment and regular monthly
installments.
ITO all residents of Richmond
There is a shortage of houses in
Richmond. The Richmond Home Con-
struction company wishes to know
how many persons are interested in
owning their homes. Investigation
shows that costs have greatly increas-
ed over five years ago.
"A two-story frame house Of five
rooms and bath and furnace built in
quantities of 100 will cost about $4,000
to $4,000 including the lot.
"The method will reduce the cost
over that of building only one or two
houses and for that reason it is desir-
able to build 100 houses at a time.
without going into full details and,
without any obligation on your part,
Awill you answer the following ques-
itions, so we may know if the demand
lis sufficient to justify further efforts
to relieve the housing conditions.
Your name will not be used without
your consent and no agent will call
upon you to sell you house.
I'VE have no other way of knowing
how many persons want to own their
own houses.
"Will you please fill out the inclosed
card and return it to the school in or
der that we may know as soon as pos
sible what the sentiment is in Rich
mond.

Navy READY
FOR SEAS IN
1917--MAyO
Condition of u. S. Fleet Was
Never Better Than on Out
break of War, Former Com
mander Tells Committee.
SIMS IS CONTRADICTED
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, March 30.-The At
lantic fleet was never better prepared
for war than when it came from Cuban
waters late in March, 1917, after its
T. Mayo, former commander in chief
Of the fleet. today told the senate COM
mittee investigating the navy's con-
duct of the war.
The personnel was on a peace basis
and was somewhat inadequate, the
Admiral said, but the officers and men
were confident and we'll trained, and
target practice in southern waters had
shown gratifying results.
No written plan or policy for the
participation of the fleet in the war
was given him when the United States
joined the Allies, Rear Admiral Mayo
testified, but in conversation with Ad-
miral Benson, chief of naval opera
tions, and other department officials,
he was informed that the mission of
the commands were to prepare for in
stant service; to protect the coasts OF
the United States, and to train naval
personnel.
developed that the navy department
considered Rear Admiral Mayo to be
the immediate superior of Rear Ad-
miral Sims, whose letter of January Z
to Secretary Daniels, precipitated the
present investigation. Rear Admiral
Sims testified that he considered Rear
Admiral Mayo his technical superior,
but that he made most of his reports
and recommendations direct to the
department.
WASHINGTON, March 30-Rear
Admiral William B. Fletcher contin.
ued as the witness today before the
naval court investigating the circum
stances which led Admiral Sims re,
moval of the officer from the Bre.;t
command in October, 1917, shortly
after the transport Antilles was tor
1edoed and sunk while under convoy
by his forces The officer faced cross
examination by his own council, courf
sci for Admiral Sims having finished
with the witness yesterday.
The escort of the convoy which in
cluded the transport Antilles, had
been weakened the night before that
vessel was sunk by the return to Brest
of one of the escorting yachts on &C
count of the sea, Fletcher testified.
Admiral Fletcher previously had
testified that operations of his escort
forces composed entirely of converted
yachts up to that time had been seri-
ously handicapped on several occa
sions by rough weather, which de-
stroyers, he said, could have faced
without trouble.
Admiral Fletcher testified during
direct examination that the main diff
ficulty in insuring the safe escort OF
troop transports arriving off the
French coast lay in the absence OF
dependable information as to when
they would arrive.
With the conveys not permitted tC
communicate with shore, while ira
versing the submarine areas, he had
to base his escort operations, he said
entirely upon reports of their probable
arrival coming from London or Paris
These, he said. proved to be mac
curate on numerous occasions and
seriously handicapped him in trying
to operate his comparatively small
force to the best advantage.

cratic position and be a support for the
position Of Republican Senators lod by
Senator Lodge.
Some administration Spokesman even
declared that it would work to defeat
the party in November and Senator
McKellar was declared to have denounced
it as "the doctrine of hell"
Another administration member said
il would appear rs II the Democrats were
coming to terms with the Republicans.
Still another opponent Of the amendment
said that its defeat was tantarnount To
defeating the Lodge reservations and that
if the committee adopted tho Walsh
addition it ought to put Senator Lodge
in nomination here.
Senator Pom1ne supported tho Walsh
amendment, declaring that tho treaty
had delayed peace more than a year
and that the honor Of the nation and its
participation in the league plan for world
peace should require prompt ratification.
He declared that the league was such an
advanced and important step toward
world peace that it would be disastrous
to lose the great opportunity by disagree
ment over reservations.
We.
is said to have conceded that article X
of the League Of Covenant would be
DESTROYED by the Lodge reservations. he
and Senator Pomerene told the committee
that most if not all other important
features of the league plan still would
remain.
Senator Pomrene incidentally declared
he had no apologies TO make for his vote
for ratification with the Lodge provisos.
The Democrats he declared, could not
justify a position killing the treaty. Both
he and Senator Walsh Of Montana made
IL clear that the administration plank plus
the Walsh amendment did not go rs far
as they desired but would present a beoer
issue to the country.
An assertion by Senator Walsh Of Mon
tana that without bis amendment the
treaty would be lost and that with il the
treaty's ratification would be maesacrcd,
was met by statement by former Gov
ernor McCorkle of West Virginia that he
was opposed TO action for mere expediency

Gov. McCorkle exclaimed you will
lose the respect of the American people"
During the debate Senator Glass and
Bryan cIashed over Bryans published
criticism of the sub committee as a
secret body. When Senator Glass
objected TO Mr.. Bryan replied that he
would use II again or any other word he
should choose.

BUSINESS MEN GIVE $4,000
TO MEMORIAL UNION FUNI

Madison business men have in the
past two weeks subscribed more than
$4,000 to the fund for the Memorial
Union building to be erected at the u
University of Wisconsin.
Through "silent drive" conducted
by a committee of Is business men,
that sum was subscribed by the first
40 persons approached, and the cam
paign is still continuing.
A similar campaign conducted by
alumni in Milwaukee last year real
lied $4,000 in three days. Similar
business-like campaigns, conducted by
local alumni and business, will be car
ried on in other Badger cities.
With practically no expense, the
memorial committee has, through the
support of Wisconsin students and a.
lumni, raised S280,00O toward the
building. Students and faculty in the
university subscribed 100000. The
campaign will be continued until the
required total of million is reached
No aid from the state legislature will
be asked, so that state funds may be
used for other buildings made neces-
sary by the university's growth.
