DAUGHERY REVIEWING CASE
Authorities Refused To Comment On
oebs Case When Questioned Rel
alive To His 10-Year Sent
ence for Law Violation.

= Washington.-Un Unattended and with
out knowledge of the public, Eugene
v. Debs, imprisoned socialist leader,
came to Washington from Atlanta
penitentiary and for three hours dis
cussed his case with Attorney General
Daugherty. The unprecedented trip
of Mr. Debs was made with the approx
al of President Harding who recently
requested Mr.. Daugherty to review
the case of the socialist leader and
make a recommendation on it.
The attorney general, in announc-
ing later that Debs had visited Wash
ington without guard, it has been
decided in conference with President
Harding that inasmuch as Debs had
defended himself at his trial, he
should come here to answer in person
such inquiries as the government de-
sires to ask. Mr.. Daugherty added
that he believed he had the authority
to place the prisoner on his honor and
that he had assumed full responsible
ity.

Observation-Disclosures of an inn
mediate strike in the packing indus.
try were averted through the media
tion Of Secretary Of Labor Davis.
Compromise on the part of employees
in accepting the recently announced
wage reduction and on the part of five
big packers in consenting to six
months extension Of the Alschuler ar
bitration arrangement made possible
the settlement after three days of con-
ferences in which representatives of
packers and employees and Secretries
Davis, Hoover and Wallace partici-
pated.
During the entire three days of con-
ferences, the Representatives of the
two sides faced each other in joint
session only twice, each side stated
its case. 1t is understood that at the
last moment there was a threat Of
further discussion, but Secretary
Davis is said to have exclaimed:
Whats the use of arguing? Sign"
The two sets of representatives there
on affixed their signatures.
The terms of the agreement were
embodied in letters addressed to Sec
retary Davis and signed by the respec-
tive negotiators for the two sides.
"In connection with the matter Of
rates and conditions in the packing
houses within the Alschuler admins
tration and agreeable to the conver-
sations we have had with you during
the past few days, we hereby accept
your recommendation covering an
amicable adjustment of said matters,
and an arrangement for the continu-
alton Of wages, hours and working
conditions as they existed under the
latest AlschulOr ruling, subject how
ever to the following notifications"

TO ABANDON ASIA
Act Due to DlsapprovaI of England and
France.

Paris.-The new Greek offensive
against the Turks in Asia-Minor,
which was planned for the end of
March, has been abandoned, at least
for the present. according to dis
patches received by the French foreign
office.
The change in the Greek plans is
believed here to be due to the at
titude of strong disapproval taken by
England and France and also by the
fact that the projected. offensive prob
ably would not develop the success
desired.
Instructions to the Greek army,
which 1t Is believed called for an ad-
vance during the last days OF This
month, have been cancelled, the ad-
vice says. although Greek troops con
tinue to debark in Smyrna.

Wasnington.-sou Southern districts OF

LAUNCH SUPER-DREADNAUGHT
IS TWIN TO THE GREATEST
FIGHTER AFLOAT
Col. 'Theo. Roosevelt Assistant Sec. Of
Navy officIates at the
Launching.

Camden, N. 1.-The United States
added the second of the worlds great
est battleships to its fleet with the
launching of the super-dreadnaught
Colorado at the New York shipbuild-
ing yards here into the waters Of the
Delaware river.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, assistant
secretary of the navy, and third of
his family to officiate at the launching
of an American warship gave the sig
nal which sent the giant craft on its
journay down the ways, and Mrs. Max
Melville, of Denver, Col, broke bot
tie Of champagne over the bow and
gave the ship its name.
Only One Ship Its Equal.
In size and power, the Colorado is
surpassed by no battleship afoat and
is equalled by only one other battle
ship, her sister ship, the Maryland,
launched at Newport News in March,
1920. Two other ships of the same
class the Washington and West Vir-
ginia, are now under construction
The chief characteristics of the Col.
orado are:
Displacement, $4,000 tons; length,
625 feet; speed, twenty-one knots;
main battery, eight 16-incf guns; sec
ondary battery, fourteen 5-inch guns
and four S3-inch anti-aircraft guns;
two submerged torpedo tubes; enlist
ed complement, 1448 men.
The nearest rivals of the Colorado
and her sister ships are the Japanese
battleships of the Nagota class and
the British ships Of the Queen Eliza
beth calss.
The Nagato class of ships, of which
there are three, have a displacement
of $4,000 tons, while the ships of the
Queen Elizabeth type, of which there
are five have a displacement of only
275O0 tons. Both the Nagato and the
Queen Elizabeth are armed with 15-
inch guns
While Great Britain at present has
no battleship equal in all around ef-
ticiency to the Colorado, she possesses
one capital ship which is larger. This
is the battle cruiser Hood which is
the biggest warship now afloat, though
1t will be surpassed in size, speed and
gun power by the six battle cruisers
of the Constellation type authorized in
the American naval bill of 1916 and
four of which are now under construc-
ton.
Six Riger Ships Authorized.
IN addition to the six battle cruisers
of the Constellation class, the naval
bill of 1916 authorized six battlesfiips
of even greater power than the Colo
rado type. They are the Iowa, South
Dakota, Montana, North Carolina, In
diana and Massachusetts. Contracts
have been let for all of these except
the Massachusetts and the keels Of
the Iowa, South Dakota and Montana
have been laid.
