SAYS Fiji WIRED FRED SIMS SAILS FOR HOME
Rear Admiral cheered by Brit

Car Filled With Floral Pieces-New
York Authors Rally to Defense
of Naval Officer.

Southampton, England, June IS
Rear Admiral William S. Sims, with
Mrs. Sims, sailed from Southampton
on the liner Olympic for New York.
London, June 1S.-Rear Admiral
William S. Sims left Waterloo station
for Southampton, where he was to
board the steamer Olympic later in
the day and proceed to New York.
He rode in a special car that was
SO burdened with floral testimonials
that there was scarcely room for mem
bers of his party to move about.
Leaning out of the window of the car
the admiral waved his cap to large
group who, despite the earliness of
his departure, had gathered to give
him a rousing sendoff.
New York, June 1S.-New fuel was
added to the controversy over Admiral
Sims ''indiscreet" speech by George
Barr McCutcheon, Julian Street and
Wallace Irwin, who issued an appeal
to raise pension fund for the admiral
Ill OCoC CCN1CldAy VI Lie 4NONJ ANAOS
took his job away from him.
'Why pick on Sims?'' was the bur-
den of the round-robin signed by these
three writer's.
"Sims' speech" says the round rob-
in, was undoubtedly an indiscretion.
SO are most brave and true words. He
isn't afraid of the Irish, and he isn't
afraid Of his job. His are not the sort
of words that can be swallowed with a
mealy-mouthed apology. He may be
forced to retire-which will mean that
he must face old age without a pen
sion. In such an extremity we are for
starting a fund and seeing to it that
Admiral Sims is not punished for this
work in promoting good feeling be-
tween the two great English-speaking
nations of the earth. If this be treason
Ito the Irish) make the most Of it."

There will be no income tax leglsla-
ton at this session of the Wisconsin
legislature. 1t required half day,
time of the two houses to kill all bills

Blaine vetoes Rail Board Bill.

Gov. John J. Blaine returned to the
senate without his approval bill
granting the state railroad commits
sion the right to permit railroads to
abandon lines that are now operated
without profit. The original petition
to the railroad commission was pre-
scented by the Fairchild & Northeast
ern Railroad company. The bill was
framed to apply to several other
steam and electric roads, it is under
stood. The governor disapproved the
measure because, he said, it was con
trary to the provisions of the Esch-
Cummins law which required per-
NIT from the interstate commerce
commission before such roads could
be abandoned. "The present enact
ment very plainly covers the same
subject matter as does the transporta-
ton act, and is therefore clearly in
valid,' the governor said. II deem it
proper to add, however" the governor
said, "that independently of the .om-
plete assumption of power by the fed
eral government, were the state free
to act upon the ground of sound pub
lie policy, 1 would consider it my duty
to disapprove the measure"

new Plan TO
|. emf ORCE DRY ACT
To Create Separate Prohibition
Enforcement Unit in
Each State.
WILL CUT OUT ALL RED TAPE
Scheme Is Laid Before Chairman
Penrose and Senator Watson
Who Approve ito Be Put
Into Force Soon.

Washington, June 20.-Creation Of
a separate and distinct prohibition en-
forcement unit in each state with a
state director at its head forms the
basis of the reorganization of the
prohibition enforcement organization
worked out by Commissioner Blair of
the internal revenue bureau, and Pro-
hibition Commissioner Haynes.
The present administrative dis
tricts, comprising several states, will
be abolished.
The plan was laid before Chairman
Penrose and Senator Watson of the
senate finance committee, who APP
proved it and it will be put into force
soon.
Coordination of the administrative
work is the aim, it was explained.
According to estimates submitted to
Senators Penrose and Watson, $780,
600 would be saved Immediately on
the reorganization plan.
Senators to whom the plan was sub
mitted said the reorganization would
tighten up enforcement by centraliz-
ing authority and abolishing red tape.
An innovation would be the establish
ment of "a mobile force of specially
qualified agents" to operate under the
immediate direction of Director
Haynes, but the whole plan, it was
explained. is contingent upon reten-
ton by the treasury of jurisdiction
over prohibition.
Major Haynes report said it had
been CLEARLY demonstrated after
thorough trial that the present plan
Of organization of the prohibition
field force should be abandoned"
The reorganization plan, he de-
clared, would centralize responsible
ity, coordinate the handling of per-
mits and enforcement work and "elim-
mate friction, uncertainty and confu-
sion" now existing. Greater flexibil-
ity in field operations also would be
possible and many salaries also would
be saved, he said.
Major Haynes said the function Of
the mobile field force would be to in
vestigate interstate violation and
furnish effective re-enforcenents'' to
state agents.
"The existence of such a force" he
added, operating independently of
the directors. would have a wholesome
effect in stimulating the activities of
the directors forces and would pro-
vide 8 means for coping Immediately
with any emergency

Rulino Against NV. Company.

The cost of relocating Sheridan
road in Racine county in order to
eliminate two dangerous grade cross
ings must be paid by the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway company. An
order to that effect issued by the Wis
consin railroad commission on March
g, 1920, was upheld in decision
handed down by Judge r. Ray Ste
vens in Circuit court. The railroad
asked a reversal of the order prin-
cipally on the ground that other prop
erty owners were benefited by the re
location and that the commissions ac-
ton was not an exercise of police
power but Of taxing power. Tie re
location of the road was ordered for
the purpose of diverting travel from
two grade crossings in the town of
Mount Pleasant, Racine county. Judge
Stevens, in his decision, declared the
order that the railway company pay
the cost was reasonable and lawful
and entered judgment dismissing the
action without cost, except that the
plaintiff, the railway company, was to
pay the fees of the clerk of the court
