Launch Reign Of Terror

Lincoln, July l7.-(Special Tele-
m.)-Usc of state police at rail
read terminals to handle the I. w.
w. menace on freight trains was
Under discussion here today by state
officers.
Governor McKelvie was out of the
city and other officials declined to
talk for publication.
According to word received. here
the I. w. w. are establishing a
reign of terror for all other hoboes
and refuse to let any excepting their
cwn members ride on freight trains.
At the same time the organization
members are reported to be using
their mob power in "blufing" freight
train crews into giving them exclu-
sive use of one freight car on each
train. The members were reported to
be travelling in droves OF 20 to 80 to
insure safe passage from train crews
and at the same time to force inde-
pedent hoboes to walk.
The worst menace of these tactics
from reports received from railroad
officials is the fact that closing of
car shops and other industries had
thrown hundreds of men out Of work
who have been driven to the harvest
fields and who, it is feared, will
return to their homes !. w, WIS,

US. Pays Great Britain
$32,688,352 in Claims
Growing Out Of War

Washington, July II. - Despite
Great Britain's debt of $4,500,000,OOO
to this country, payment of $32,-
688,352 has been made by the Ameri-
can government to the British min
istry of shipping, in settlement of
claim against the War department,
treasury officials said. The payment
was made, officials added, pursuant
to an opinion by Attorney General
Daugherty.
The British claim was for trans
portation services arising out of the
war with Germany and the payment,
it was explained, constitutes final
settlement between the War depart
ment and the British ministry of
shipping of all claims of either party
against the other for transportation
services.
Secretary Mellon asked Mr..
Daugherty for a ruling as to whether
the act of March 8, 1887, which re-
quires the secretary to withhold pay
ment of any judgment against the
United States where the claimant is
indebted to this country in any man
ner, applied to such claim.
Mr.. Daugherty held the act did not
apply as it was not the practice of
sovereign nations to prosecute their
claims against one another in the
courts and obtain judgment but ad-
just such matters through diplomatic
channels.

Liner Leviathan May
Be Recondidoned by
U. S. Shipping Board

New York, July II. - The giant
liner, Leviathan, which has been idle
at her pier in Hoboken for two years,
costing the taxpayers $45,000 a
month for upkeep, will be ordered
reconditioned, salvaged or sold with
in the next month. This was an
nounced by Chairman Lasker of the
shipping board, after he had in
spected the former German liner,
Vater1and, which was seized dur
ing the war and converted into an
American troop ship.
If it is decided to refit the $4,000
ton steamer and put her on the seas
again as first-class passenger liner,
the cost probably would be $l2,000,-
600. experts told Mr.. Lasker.
The cost of building and refitting
ship of the same size today would
be in the neighborhood of $50, 900, 600,
it was estimated.
P. A. S. Franklin, president of the
International Mercantile Marine,
who was member of the inspecting
party, said his company had an
agreement with the shipping board to
operate the Leviathan for five years
if the government decided upon re-
conditioning it.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, July II. - Admiral
Sims is not only vindicated but com
mended for his letter to Secretary of
the Navy Daniels in January, 1920,
on the naval lessons of the war, his
course approved throughout, and the
tardiness of the administration in
carrying out his recommendation
roundly condemned in the majority
report made public today, of the SEN
ate naval affairs subcommittee, which
investigated the Sims Daniels con-
troversy last year.
Impressed with the high import
ance of the great volume of expert
testimony. the report, signed by the
three republican members of the sub
committe, Senator'S Hale of Maine.
chairman; Bell of Delaware, and
Keyes of New Hampshire. recon-
'mends the appointment of two COM
missions for the following purposes:
One, professional commission to
be appointed by the secretary of the
navy to study all the matter brought
out before the committee and in the
possession of sthe department and
ether sources, bearing on the naval
lessons of the war and make a con-
fdential report thereon for the use
OF the Navy department.
Another, a commission, including
civilians as we'll as naval officers, to
be appointed by the president to con-
slider the reorganization of the Navy
department and recommend to con-
gress such changes as it may deem
advisable.
Democrats "Disapprove."
The minority report signed by the
two democratic members of the SUBJ
committee, Senators Pittman Of Ne
vada and Trammell of Florida, finds
all major charges made by Admiral
Sims, of delays on the part of the
department resulting in prolongation
of the war and loss of lives, of ship
ping and of money, wholly dis
proved" his other charges trivial
and points to the splendid record
made by the United States naval
forces as a demonstration of the
wisdom of the policies and plans of
the Navy department.
The majority report states the
conclusions of the subcommittee in
part as follows:
I'VE find that Rear Admiral Sims
WAS not only within his r5-Shts .is.
writing as he did to the secretary OF
the navy on January 7. 1920, con-
corning certain naval lessons of the
war, but we find also that as Rear
Admiral Sims was in a very respon-
sible position during the war and
knew that important lessons could
be learned through his observations,
it was his duty to write as he did.
