Congress- False Economy Pre-
vents Further Increases

Washington, Sept. 13-Secretary
of the Navy Daniels today heard state
ments from Representatives of several
satisfied with the new wage scale.
The Secretary also conferred with the
wage board. op whose, report the new
scale was based. Willie Mr.. Daniels
said that it would be impossible to
rescind the decision to make Saturday
half holiday with half pay, because
only I'M that way or by discharges is
the department able to give any in
crease at all with the funds allowed
by, Congress- 1t is thought that there
may be some minor adjustments in
cases where injustice or error is
shown. y
s., President Rosemund, Of the drafts
men unden, for instance, said today
that his oPganiza ton was withholding
formal protest to Secretary Daniels
in the hope that some arrangement
could be made otherwise. Special rep
reservations in behalf Of the planners
and estimators crafts have also been
laid before the department. The i'm
preston is chat the matters involved
VIII be settled for the time being, at
any rate, without serious trouble.
Mr.. Daniels lays great stress upon
the fact that he could have done bet
ter by the men if the last session Of
congress had not played false econ
omy and refused to make the special
deficiency appropriation he urgently
recommended for repairs Of ships. He
will ask a similar appropriation when

Great Britain Stands
Firm Government Says
"If Slim Feiners Think We VIII
Release Prisoner to Save His
y Life, They Are Mistaken

London, Sept. 13.-Assurances that
there is no element Of bluffing in the
respective attitudes of the British
government and the Irish Nationalists
relative to the MacSwiney case were
obtained from responsible sources Of
each faction by the Associated Press
this afternoon.
IF Sim FcinerS think we are biding
our time and will capitulate when
MacSwiney's condition requires elev-
enth hour action in order to save his
life' they are mistaken"
This characterizes the British Of
fetal view as expressed to the cor
respondent.
There can be no question about
our desire or intention of having Lord
tragic stand he has taken" declared
an official at the London headquarters
of the Irish Nationalist organization.
If he is not released voluntarily by
the government, he will most certainly
go down in history as the first Irish
hunger striker to perish in an English
prison"
In dealing with the MacSwiney case,
| the horne office, which controls the
prison commission, has all along
! strictly adhered to it's policy of di-
vulging nothing about the prisoners.
But it became known today that some
Of it's reports from the bedside of
| the hunger striker have been sur
prising. Ten days ago the officials
| believed that a new Irish crisis was
imminent when the prison physician
reported that the lord mayor could
| not live more than thirty-six hours.
| Since then the doctors have declined
to predict, but have confined them
selves to what they believed to be the
actual condition Of the prisoner. They
contend that the case battles medical
science-that in such a case one man
might have been dead days ago, while
another might live many weeks, nc
one being able to judge the existence
| of any individual under the circum.
stances.
| The doctors disagree with ghe re-
ports of the Irish elf-determinatiou
league, which evidently are obtained
from relatives of the prisoner who are
allowed at his bedside, that the mayor
is in great pain. The home Office re.
port this morning said that he was
noticeably weaker than yesterday but
not in pain. , ...- mi.

DID NOT GET CAR HERE.
Insane Soldier Got Car at Pembroke
and Drove to Johns.
Pee Dee Advocate.

Pee Dee Advocate.
The report was generally accepted
here last week that Phil Miller's car
had been taken by an insane soldier
who escaped and later got on the
MaXton train. This is incorrect,
however, as the article below from
The Scottish Chief shows. Another
theory is that the same boys who got
E. A. Hamers car, first got Mr.. Mil
ler's. When it stalled east of town
they abandoned it, walked back and
got Mr.. Hamer's. The Scottish
Chief says:
John E. Fox. formerly OF a camp
at Santiago. Calif., one of a number
of insane men being taken from the
naval hospital at Charleston, s. c.,
to an insane department at Wash
ington, D. c.. last Thursday escaped
at Pembroke by climbing out of the
window of a pullman. He hired an
automobile and drove to. Johns eight
miles south of Maxton on the Allan
tic Coast Line Railway and took the
train for Fayetteville. Rural police
man w. w. Smith located the fleeing
soldier and arrested him upon the
trains arrival at Maxton. He was
kept here until Tuesday. of this week
when q lieutenant arrived and took
the prisoner to Washington. Fox
