SENATE SCORES
ADMIRAL sims
Walsh Proposal Condemns
Navy Officer For Making
Public Confidential And Of
ficial Instructions.

Washington, Jan. 21.-A resolution
declaring that the action of Rear Ad-
miral Sims in making public official
instructions of the most confidential
character" affecting International re-
lations deserved the condemnation Of
all Americans was introduced in the
senate today by Senator Walsh, demo-
crat, Montana, a member of the nav
al committee. His request for immedi-
ate consideration was denied on OBJ
lection of republican Leader Lodge.
The resolution quoted from the let
ter read by Admiral Sims last Satur-
day before the senate committee in
vestigating naval decorations in which
the admiral said that before he left
the United States, for Europe in March
1917, he was told by high naval Of
ficial not to ''let the British pull the
wool over your eyes, it is none of our
business pulling their chestnuts out
of the fire; We would as soon fight
the British as the Germans"
Il cannot but believe that whether
the above admonition was or was not
given to Admiral Sims the disclosure
under almost any circumstances must
receive the disapproval of every Am
erican," said Senator. Walsh,

WAR ON TRAFFIC
V|0LATORS BEGUN
BY ACTING CHIEF

Rigid enforcement Of the city's
traffic laws was the Interpretation of
several Wednesday of action being
taken by Acting Chief Of Police Harry
A. Rowe. The change of Patrolman
Moffitt from night duty to day Traf-
fic officer, and the serving of notice
to Police Judge Race that all violat-
ors would be hailed before him, was
construed by some as being the fore
runner of a campaign against traffic
violations in the city.
Wednesday morning Officer Moffitt
began a systematic patrol of the bus
mess section of the city on motorcy-
Gle; and instructions were issued by
the acting chief to all night officers to
spare no effort in bringing violators
of the fire limit parking ordinance be-
fore the bar of justice.
Offenders Face Court
Police Judge Race was informed
by Acting Chief Rowe, that so long as
he headed the police department, all
persons arrested for any violations
would be brought before him for dis
position. Heretofore 1t has been the
policy of police, in minor violations,
to warn offenders and release them
without taking them into municipal
court.
Rowe Makes no Claims
Acting Chief Rowe would make no
statement of his aims, and the only
intimation of his intentions was deriv-
ed from his statement that "this cut
ting of corners, running without
lights, speeding and other traffic vi
olations must stop"
Several changes have been made in
the offices of police. Patrolman A.
Lee Morelock was named day SER
geant by Acting Chief Rowe, Troy
Branson, former policeman, who was
reemployed Tuesday, will patrol at
night in the place Of officer Moffitt,
who becomes traffic officer working
at day

nesday by police. The warning was
made following the report that several
bicycles have been stolen during the

their owners.
Tuesday night Patrolman Branson
recovered two bicycles belonging 10
John George and Dorrel Bradford, that
were recently reported stolen. One Of
the bicycles was taken from in front
of the Y. NJ c. A. building.
Where heretofore boys caught in pos
session of biycles not their own were
reprimanded and released, charges of
larceny, with trial in municipal court
will be the order in further arrests for
bicycle stealing, police said Wednes-

SEATTLE editor TO
FACE TRIAL FRIDAY

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 21.-E. B. Ault
editor of the Seattle Union Record, a
daily newspaper, will be arraigned
Friday on a charge of criminal libel,
Superior Judge Boyd J. Tallman hav-
ing overruled Ault's demurrer yester-
day. The complaint against Ault is
based on an editorial he wrote in con-
nection with the deaths of four for
mer service men killed by industrial
workers of the world at Centralia
armistice day.
Judge Tallman said he based his
ruling on recent Tacoma case in
which a man was guilty of libel for
defaming the memory Of George
Washington. The Union Record is
published by the Central Labor coun-
Gil. Federal complaints charging Ault
with seditious conspiracy were dis
missed recently.

SOVIET RUSSIA
IS DEFENDED
.BYSOC|AL|STS
Attorney Says Assemblymen
Suspended By New York
legislators Because OF AZ
6Eation With Party.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 21.-A defense
of soviet Russia was made today on
the floor of the New York assembly
chamber by Seymour Stedman of Chi
cago, an attorney for the defense in
the trial of the five suspended sociat-
list assemblymen before the assembly
judiciary committee on charges of dis
loyalty.
Asserting in connection with the
charge that the socialist party at its
convention in Chicago last summer has
expressed solidarity with soviet Rus
sa and that the assembly had con-
demned the suspended members be-
cause they were members Of a party
which expressed such approval, Mr..
Stedman declared that expression of
belief in the soviet system was not an
offense in England, Germany, Italy or
Norway, where it had become an issue
and that in this country it was not a
crime for which man could be tried
and sent to the peniteniary nor did it
even afford the basis for civil libel
suit.
Scores Occupation.
I'VE are not at war with Russia"
he said. 1T is true that some of our
troops are over there and some of the
troops of our associates. 1t was rather
unfortunate for some of our associates
troops, for the Russians shot some
Ideas into their regiments.
Mr.. Stedman, who said educational
Institutions were being developed in
Russia despite the fighting that was
going on there, asserted feeling toward
uat country was changing and cited
dispatches to the effect that the allied
governments were preparing to resume
Uade relations This, he claimed, was
commercial recognition Of the Russian
poillcal and ecoonmical structure.
Asks Specific Charges.
arguing motion to dismiss the
cnarges because they do not include
cause for exclusion of the socialist
members, Mr.. Stedman declared that
you specify no act which would iusti-
~ the exclusion of these men,"
oah you say that if we plead guilty
" 'he first cause adherence to the
Imcago platform), it justified our ex-
eluslon?" he asked.

FOR MORE SMALL COINS.

Washington, April 29. Especial cor
respondence)--To meet the conven-
fence of the public I'm making small
purchases Senators George p. Mclean.
OF Connecticut, and Joseph S. .Fleing-
huysen of New Jersey, advocate the
coinage of two-cent pieces, seven-cent
pieces and eight-cent pieces. The de-
mand for pennies TO make change has
become enormous. With the use of the
new coins, as proposed, it would be
easy to make the odd combinations re-
quired for buying many small articles.
The minting of a two-cent coin is pro-
posed in the Mclean bill as a memo
rial to Theodore Roosevelt. It would
be made of copper allow somewhat
larged In size than the penny though
not like the old cart-wheels coined as
two-cent pieces more than a quarter
of a century ago. On the face of the
coin would appear the bust of Colonel
Roosevelt stamped in relief 1t is not
specified In the bill proposed by Sena-
tor Freylinghuysen what may be the
design of the seven and eight-cent
pieces. They would be made of nickel
alloy similar to that which now forms
the five-cent piece. The Mclean bill
for the coinage of two-cent pieces has
been favorably reported to the Senate
by the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency. The bill for the coinage of the
seven and eight-cent pieces was re-
Gently introduced by Senator Rrey-
linghuysen.
