Daniels and Roosevelt Are
Scored for Methods Used
in Securing Evidence in In
quiry. Roosevelt Charges
Deliberate FalsificatiOn.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Former
Secretary Daniels and Former As
sistant Secretary Roosevelt of the
navy, were denounced for methods
used in investigator ga war time scan
dal among the enlisted men of the
Newport training station in a majority
report of the senate subcommittee,
which ms>e, the investigation.
The crux Of the charges made in the
report is that with the knowledge and
consent of Daniels and Roosevelt, en-
listed men were improperly used as
participants in immoral practices for
the purpose Of securing evidence on
which to dismiss offenders.
Mr.. Roosevelt when told Of the
statements in the report issued a de-
nial (which he stated that the report
was a mass of deliberate falsifca-
tions."
Most of the details of the Newport
scandal as it is disclosed by the evi.
dence taken at the investigation is of
an unprintable nature. Roosevelt un-
der whose office the investigation of
the station was ordered.and conducted
is held by the majority report to be
morally responsible for the orders
issued for he'miSuse of the men par
ticipating in the orgies.
Mr.. Roosevelt in his statement said
that at no time was the wor kof inves-
tigation supervised by himself ,pers6p-,
ally, and that it was not until SepteW-
ber, 1919, that.he and the acting chief
of the bureau of navigation were in
formed that the Investigating squad
had FUSED highly improper and revolt
ing methods in getting evidence"
The report is one of the most scath-
ing documents ever offered the senate
in a committe report.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10 AL
terially in the capture of Roy Gard
ner, mail robber, after his daring es-
cape at Castle Rock, Wash, while be-
ing taken to prison at Mcneil Island
recently, job printing press that
turned out 1900 circulars with Gard
ner's picture and description, ought to
be given the real credit, according to
Stephen H. Morse, chief postoffice in
spector here.
1t was one of these >circulars that
induced Louis Sonny of the Centralia
police force to "take long chance,
as he described it, and arrest the no
torious bandit, Morse said.
Gardner escaped about l o'clock or
the morning of June II. An hour later
Morse received word of the dash fol
liberty Gardner and Pyron made. He
Immediately telephoned to his chief
deputy, William l. Madeia, and they
spent the rest of the night preparing
circulars to be mailed to all police an
thorities west of the Dakotas.
A few hours later the job press il
the postoffice building here began tc
rumble and clank. Until the middle o1
the afternoon it ran without stop
and before night the circulars werC
all in the mail. If Gardner had move(
away from Castle Rock immediatel,
instead of remaining in hiding clos,
to the town for several days, he prob
ably would have been captured mucl
sooner, according to Morse, as the cir
cular was responsible for his bein,

WASHINGTON, July ia sensa-
ton was sprung at the session of the
house committee Investigating the es-
cape from this country of Grover c.
Bergdoll, the Philadelphian, convicted
of conspiracy to evade the dpaft, when
his mother, Mrs. Emma C. Bergdoll
testified that she had paid Major Bruce
Campbell, then stationed at Cover
nor's Island, the sum Of $4,000 to be
paid in turn to some "high officials in
Washington" to help obtain the free
dom Of her son.
Mrs. Bergdoll stated that she took
the money to the Island and handed
it to Gro'CBergdoll and he in turn
passed it on to Campbell. Campbell
said, Mrs. Bergdolf testified, that he
had passed the money to another o.
ficer for the purpose indicated 4
Major Campbell recently told the
committee that he had not received
one dollar from the Bergdolls, he hav-
ing been summoned from Camp Pike,
where he is now stationed to answer
Mrs. Bergdoll's charges, made in pri-
vate, previous to her testimony before
the committee today, Mrs. Bergdoll
added that she did not remember the
name of the man mentioned by Camp
bell as having received the money from
him, but asserted that he was repre-
sented as San agent of the govern
ment."
Through Joseph F. Houlihan, a
bookkeeper for Wassermann Brothers,
brokers' of the New York stock ex-
change, it was developed that Major
Campbell had deposited with them $4,-
500 in cash on February 10, 1920.

The Ulster leader maintains that

they were defeated have recognized

and he seems to wash his hands of

The official announcement issued at

the premier and Mr.. de Valera today
says:
"The conversations between Mr.

The following letter from Engineer
Cronholm in reference to the building
of the 1921 weir was received by the
board this afternoon:
Board of Directors,
Imperial Irrigation District,
El Centro, California. .t
Gentlemen: The Colorado river dis
charge is 81, 500 second feet, with a
guage of 111.3 at Rockwood: Let
year the elevation of like discharge
was 1902 showing gain of approx
mately nine-tenths, due primarily to
early weir construction.
So far as can now be estimated, we
believe that but approximately seven
more bales will be required. This does
not take into account the chinkiEg
that will be necessary as the river con-
tinues to lessen in volume.
We now have head of Sc feet at
lockwood gate. 1t is estimated that
the weir is approximately 70 per cent
complete.
Yours very truly,

That the one hundred or more
farmers and ranchers who at
tended this mornings session of
the Imperial Valley Irrigation
Board, were there as the result
of a situation or conditions Gre
ated through some outside
agency other than the board,
was the opinion voiced by Di-
rector r. H. McPherrin, when
he was called upon for an expression
as to whether or not he favored the
retention of f. N. Cronholm as gem
eral manager for the district.
Mr.. McPherrin stated that in his
opinion representatives of the Farm
Bureau or any others present at the
meeting had no right to call HIM on
the floor for the purpose Of making a
specific statement either for or against
Engineer Cronholn, inasmuch as the
board had issued no public or special
invitation to the ranchers Tor an IN
formal discussion of the matter.
He I'D say, however, that "Mr.
Cronholm had been favored with the
absolute backing Of the board since
his incumbency, that he was thor,
oughly efficient engineer, that he had
been on the job and had delivered the
goods" He further stated that he had
lust returned from Washington and
that he had not had time to give any
serious consideration to Cronholm'
resignation, that there had been no
discussion of it by the board and that
not one of his fellow directors had dis
cussed the proposition with him.
Roy E. Breedlove, recently appoint
ed director, when asked where ne
stood, either for or against the reten-
tion of Cronholm. said: "Out of res
pect for Cronholm and the other dl-
rectors, have nothing to say at this
time"
Director Mark Rose said that he
was unqualifedly for Mr.. Cronhoim
and hoped to see the board continue his
services
Mr. Brockman, director from Cal
cxico., stated that it did not matter
much to, him who the general manager
was. as long as the manager had the
hest interests of the valley at heart
He further stated that there was diff
ference of opinion between himself ant
2 Mr.. Cronholm as to "just the amount
of money that should be spent on thu
maintenance of the works and at thu
same time remain within the bounds
of safety"
President Nickerson said: "Well,

about it, l hired Mr.. Cronholm,. pu

LURE OF OCEAN

FROM MEX|CAL|
Summer CAPITAL Of L0Uer Cali
fOynia to Be Established at
TiajuGna Until September.

MEXICALI, July 19-The lure of
the pounding surf on Coronado S
strand, the spice laden breeze which
blow in from over the blue ocean, the
sports and pleasures Of the ocean side,
have proven too strong to resist for
Governor Epigmenio Ybarra, of the
Northern District Of Lower California
and he is moving his capital this week
from Mexicali to Tiajuana.
The little town south of San Diego
will be the temporary set of govern
ment of the district until sometime in
September Governor Ybarra with his
private secretary, Jose M. Davilla,
and the heads of all the departments
except the secretary of the treasury,
will go first to Ensenada for a few
days, and then to Tiajuana.
The change does not include the
military branch of the government.
Gen. Rodriguez, it is said, is not plan
ming on vacation, but will remain
with his troops. The treasury depart
ment will be maintained here on ac-
count of the Inconvenience which would
be caused by the transfer of it's Of
fees and records. ~5-..
Mr.. Davilla said this morning that
the official party will make an inspec-
ton of the highways throughout the
district. and that this will be done
while Gle offices are being changes
and the transfer consumated. In all
probability the various department
heads will be back in Mexicali in time
for the annual celebration Of the Mex
lean national holiday, September 16.
The new capital building will be fin
ished and ready for occupancy shortly
after that date.
The governor stated this morning
that the appointment of secretary
Of state. to succeed the late Francisco
Terrazas, was still pending, and might
not be made for several days yet.
Francisco Huerta, for some time in
charge of important clerical work, has
been appointed official mayor, or chief
clerk of the executive offices. He is
organizing his force and crtered upon
his duties today.

NO ADVANCE IN
ALFALFA PRICE

Receipts of alfalfa hay in the CEN
tra) markets showed a further falling
off for the week. Receipts of grain
hay while still substantial show the
same tendency. most of these deliver
les represent shipments made on pre-
vious sales.
The demand for alfalfa hay in the
big centers was still very largely con-
fined to that for current consumption,
which took care of the weekly arriv-
ais. Prices showed no Improvement
but on the whole the market showed a
steadier tendency.
The low prices of alfalfa will un-
doubtedly cut down the production
during the balance of the season, es-
pecially in the districts where the high
cost of water or that of Transportation
forces the growers to restrict produc-
ton.
Pesent ruinously low prices of al.
falfa are not justified, considered from
the standpoint of underlying condi.
tions of production and consumption
for the year, and still less so from the
standpoint of cost of production; it is
the present marketing situation, Great
ed partly by the general business con
ditions but mostly by lack of coordin
ated marketing on the part of unor
ganized growers, which is responsible,
for the present price situation.
There were $50 tons of grain an,
alfalfa hay received on the Los An
geles tracks the week ending July 16
with 29o tons held over. There wer
