DANIELS SAYS
| NAME FORGED
Secretary of Navy Testifies
He Did Not Send Dis
patch to Sims
IDISPATCH RELATED
TO USE OF CONVOYS
Sims Had Used Message in
Testimony to Criticize
Navy Dept.

| Washington, d. c., May l3.-Charges
| that a cablegram produced before the
Senate naval investigating committee
during the testimony of Rear Admiral
Sims bore a forged signature were
made to-day by Secretary Daniels. He
referred to a message which Admiral
Sims had presented as part OF his
criticism of the navy department and
which purported to have been signed
by the secretary.
Somewhere, somebody was guilty of
signing my name to an official des-
patch which the original, here pro-
duced, shows / never signed" Mr.. Dan
iels told the committee, 'or of alter
ing despatch by erasing the real sig
nature and substituting Daniels"
The concluding paragraph of the
cabIegram read:
"In regard to conveys consider that
American vessels having armed guards
are safer when sailing Independently" I"
Mr.. Daniels testified that immediate
lv upon reading the admiral's testi-
money he knew he never sent such a
cablegram and he started an investiga-
tion.
Il knew he said, that if my name
appeared on such telegram II would
be because somebody had forged my
name to il"
The secretary said he finally found
the original despatch in the British
embassy. through which it had been
sent and that the name signed to it
"A. F. Carter. by direction of the chief
of naval operations
THE statement that it was signed
Daniels is untrue" said the secretary.
mo such telegram signed Daniels ever
was sent TO Admiral Sims. In his
testimony he reiterated over and over
again that this despatch made him
about ready to jump overheard and
that it was signed with my name. con
veying the impression that the civilian
secretary of the navy had personally
passed upon the question of a par
ticular method to protect shipping and
was resisting the adoption of the con
vov system. | knew | never enter
tanned the opinion stated in the des-
patch he displayed
Admiral Sims should produce the
person. who changed the signature
Secretary Daniels declared, adding that
the admiral owed IAN apology to me
and to the country for the impression
undertaken to be made by his testi-
mony based upon a false signature.
Much Of the secretary's testimony
to-day was devoted to the controversy
over conveying troopships. He insisted
that Admiral Sims had not agreed with
the departments views as to the neces-
sity for protecting transports and told
the committee he had found it neces-
sary to remind Admiral Sims several
times during the war that the first
duty of American destroyers abroad
was TO protect these vessels.
