3rttteu Demands Facts, Charging Bol-
shevism Aboard the Powhatau,
Especial Despatch to the Hera,d) J


WASHINGTON. d. c., Monday.-A
wholesale indictment of the army trans
port service is contained in a resolution
Htroduced today by Representative Brit
ten, Republican. of Illinois. He particu-
larry inttimates that "Bolshevism" is re-
sponsible for the condition of the army
transport Fowhatan, which has been
drifting helplessly off the coast of Hall
fax for several days. He makes his
charges the lasis for requiring that the
Secretary Of War furnish Congress with
complete information as to the facts re-
sarding the Powhatan and also other
Army transports.
In the Introductory paragraph Of his
resolution Mir Brtten charges that "a
state of practical mutiny'' has existed on
several army transports now operated
under the War Department that COM
tnanding officers Of the transport Amer
ica filed reports in December last which
showed thar officers We're unable to con-
troll the men; that gambling was encour-
aged that an officer was cought selling
stolen goods and whiskey to the troops
and that certain members OF the crew
rad been brought to duty only at the
point OF a gun.
Mr.. Brittcn asserts that the "Shipping
Commissioner at New York refused to
consider the various violations Of the
crew because 1t was in the province of the
War Department" and that "officials of
rne War Department. after much delay.
appointed Colonel Taylor, A. T. S.. OF the
Port Inspection Service, to investigate the
disreputable state of affairs"
He states further that "a farcical trial
haII tel,Y NJ
of only two men, while the balance Of
the crew, against whom positive informa-
ton of gambling. burglary. robbery and
mutiny, were allowed to d. ship and go
to their homes"
1T was evident" the Britten resolution
continues, that army officers desired no
public trial Of these cases because of the
publicity which would be given to the
present inefficient, unseaworthy, mutt
nous. dangerous and almost murderous
operation Of transports under the War
Department
The resolution then provides that "the
Secretary of War be directed to advise
the House why the master and chief Of
ficer of the America were not called be-
fore a proper court, with a view to jail
ing those members of the crew whose in
subordination threatened the lives of thou
sands abroad" that Congress be informed
what final action had been taken toward
the accused.
The resolution then provides that the
Committee on Military Affairs ''be fur
nished copies of reports from masters and
chief officers OF other army transports,
which would indicate that mutiny. theft
gambling and INSTRUMENTATION exist on
their respective ships, and just what ef-
fort is being made to establish law, order
and efficiency on same under the apera-
ton of the department"
Also il Divides that the Secretary oi
War advise Congress II in his opinion, the
present serious condition of the United
States transport Powhatan Is not the de-
liberate action of Bolshevism aboard
ship"

DEMPSEY SLIPPING
Champions Prowess Takes a Decided Slump as Result of Bout With Bren- nan Tuesday Night.

New York, Dec. 16.-The worlds heavyweight championship boxing match between Jack Dempsey and Bill Brennan has passed into ring his- tory, leaving behind it Dempsey still in possession of his title, conflicting atmosphere of mingled dissatisfa ction and surprise, a decided slump in the Dempsey reputation and correspond. ing ascent in the Brennan stock.
 Out of all the maze of aftermath one fact stands out clearly-Dempsey was forced through the hardest battle of his career since he started on the pugilistic championship ath. No one questions this. not even the champion himself or his manager. Brennan and his manager, Leo P. Flynn, proclaim without hesitation that the Chicagoan proved himself one of the best heavy weights in the country by standing off Dempsey for a greater distance than Carl Morris Fred Fulton, Jess Willard and Billy Miske combined. This in it. self, says the jubilant Leo Flynn, is a moral triumph for Brennan, who was not conceded chance of lasting more than six rounds against the title-holder.

The Franklin first appeared late in
1902 and IS cars were sold in that
year.
1t was impossible to reach all the
owners, but of those 8 cars. four were
discovered to be still in use and able
to take the roads as they come. if their
owners cared to take them out from
their places of Information. Trace
was found of seven of the first IS
cars.
One of the first F'ranklins ever made
was sold to S. G. Averill of New York
city. Mr.. Averen made several rec
ords in the car as sort of amateur
racer, and became so pleased with its
principles that he has owned several
Franklins since that time.
The early model is still in good run
ming order and embodies many of the
ideas that the Franklin has always
regarded as fundamental. Some of
the features have come into general
popularity and use only within the last
few seasons.
Among the distinctly Franklin ideas
are multiple cylinders, valve-in-lead
construction. wood sills. fun elliptic
springs all around. air-cooling and
scientific light weight. 1t is especially
with regard to valve-in- head, light
weight and spring action that other
makers are coming around to the or
iginal Franklin idea.
