DANIELS CONDEMNED
in SENATE REPORT
Statement Says That Policy Of
Department Delayed Victory

Washington, D. c., July 1S-The
navy was Unprepared for war at the
beginning of hostilities with Germany
in 1917. its Organization now il not
what it should be, Rear Admiral Will
liam S. Sims was justified in maxim
his sensational disclosures, more than
year ago rejecting upon Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels for failure to
furnish adequate support to the oper-
ations Of the grand fleet and the
whole question of reorganization of
the navy should be investigated by a
commission to be appointed by Presi-
dent Harding.
These are outstanding features set
forth in a report made public by a
majority of a subcommittee of the
Senate Naval Affairs committee,
which more than a year ago investi-
gated the charges made against Sec
rotary Daniels by Admiral Sims, in
volving not only dispute aboht
medal awards but also the alleged
state Of unpreparedness of the navy
and it's operations during the world
war. The majority report is signed
by three Republicans, Senators Hale
(Me.), Ball (Md.) and Keyes On. H).
Practically every important finding
of the Republican majority is dis
puted by minority report, signed
by Senators Pittman (Nev.) and
Trammel (Fla.), Democrats.
They contend that the navy was
IL,
port was accorded to Admiral Sims
and those associated with him in CO.
operation with the allied Grand fleet,
that Admiral Sims was not justified in
the charges he made, which among
other things asserted that hundreds
Of thousands of lives were sacrificed
uselessly and $4,000, 100000 need
lessly spent
Many Naval Phases Covered
The report does not deal with the
question of medal awards, findings
in that phase of the investi cation
having been made public more than
year ago. The report consists of q
review of about 1000 pages Of closely
printed testimony, covering prac-
tfcally every phase of naval warfare,
the conclusions of the majority and
minority report occupying 225 pages
in themselves.
I'VE recommend that a commission
be appointed by the president to con-
slider the question of the organiza-
ton of the navy department" the ma
jority report emphasizes, land the
changes reco mmended by officers of
the navy in course of this investiga-
ton, and to recommend to the con-
gress such changes, if any, in sid
| organization as it shall deem advis-
able"

CARD OF THANKS.

1t is~With deep gratitude that we
wish to express our sincere thanks
to all who helped in the recent sad
homecoming of our beloved Soldier
son and brother Especially, do we
wish to thank all those who sent the
beautiful floral tributes, the American
Legion, Eddy-Glover post, Walter j.
Smith post, Veterans, Company I, City
of New Britain, Capt. Griswold, Com
mander Harry Jackson, the boys who
SO faithfully stood guard through the
night at the Armory, and all ex-serv-
icemen who. despite the rain, were in
the line of march and took part in
the funeral ceremony.
In particular, our gratitude is due
to Adjutant Clifford Hellberg and Ser
geant William Hopkins, whose un-
limited kindness in the direction of
the funeral arrangements did much to
soften our sorrow. To the latter
acknowledgement Hopkins-we would
like at this time, to express public
thanks for a previous indebtedness,
when he found our soldier boy lying
morally wounded at night, and in
the thick of battle, carried him-with
the aid of Sergeant Seledyn-to medf-
cal aid, on an improvised stretcher,
over an hours tourney on foot

JITNEY SITUATION
UNCHANGED TODAY
West End Residents Work for
Continuance Of Service


Should the courts rule that the
West Main street jitneys must stop
operating in accordance with the
ruling of the public utilities commits
sion, many residents of the west
end will walk in preference to paying
the ten cent trolley fare, one prom
lnent resident who claims to be
spea king the feelings of many others,
stated this afternoon.
The betterment of schedules for the
greater part of the day on that line
has failed to attract business from
the jitneys to the trolleys, the Con-
necticut company officials report and
they are running at loss. 81
Edward French, who operates the
lines, is circulating copies of the
mayors petition in an effort to show
how the feeling in that section of the
city stands and he reports that hum
dreds have signed their names indi-
eating dissatisfaction with the present
service
| On the East Main to Seymour park
| line considerable dissatisfaction is
being evidenced. Seven corners, some
of them very sharp, must be passed
while the present route is being gone
over, this fact making it exceedingly
|
jitneys expresses as far as olive
street, both from Main street and
Seymour park, is not approved of
since passengers are being carried be-
yond their destinations oftentimes. 1t
is probable that the jitneurs will ask
the P. U. C. to raise the restrictions.
! Prosecuting Attorney A. A. Green
berg had nothing to say today con-
corning the possibility of prosecutions
Wednesday morning. In several 9TH
er cities, upon the recommendation
of Commissioner R. B. Stoeckels of
| the motor vehicle department, no
action will be taken until that date
None of the new ~ markers,
which were supposed TO be issued to-
day, have reached the city as yet. 1t
lis not considered likely that any pros
ecutions will be brought until the
registration plates have been issued.

HAVE SEEN NOTHING
OF STRANGE BOY
Fifteen Year-Old Atlanta Boy May
Be IN Springfield Now

Nothing has been heard since Sat-
urday of 15-year-old William Allen,
the Atlanta, Georgia, boy who had
started out to mako hia way to
Springfield, Mass, and who so sud-
denly disappeared from the Chamber
OF Commerce building Saturday
morning. When he ran out OF the
building Saturday orning William
went to the homt Of Constable A. P.
Marsh. ana despite the kindness on
the part OF Mr.. and Mrs. Marsh and
the interest they had shown in him,
he took his baggage and Immediately
disappeared. ..- -.
Mr.. Marsh is satisfied that the
young man is a good. clean-cut boy,
who shows all signs of careful breed
ing and the best of home training
and he is going to take steps to look
him up to see if he has arrived safely.
He knew where he was going in
Springfield, stating that his folks liv-
ed somewhere on State street.
Some interesting stories were told
by the boy while on his way from his
home in Atlanta to where MI. Marsh
| picked him up in Delaware. He told
of how late one night when he was
| wandering along the country road
| just before he got into Delaware, tir
| ed and dusty, dragging his suit case
which seemed to be growing heavier
every minute, he espied a barn. He
crawled into the barn about one
| O'Clock in the morning and went to
i sleep as soon as he struck the hay.
Hardly was he asleep until the farmer
4 discovered him and ordered him out
! He explained that he was tired and
only wanted place to sleep. Il
CART help it, replied the farmer
1--WE had three barns burned in three
years and I'm not taking any more
| chances"
Almost exhausted the weary boy
left the Earn and again began his
journey. He went short distance
when, overcome by fatigue, he lay
down and went to sleep on the ground
only to be awakened by a heavy rain
| storm. He stumbled and staggered
along the road, through the rain until
morning when he found place ia
sleep and dry his clothes.
When found by Mr.. Marsh he was
standing against a stone wall along
a country road in Delaware and hest
tated to ask for ride. Seeing the
Connecticut namo on the truck, an
other boy stopped Mr.. Marsh and
pointing to young Allen said here was
a boy who wanted to go to Spring
| field, Mass.
Allen was delighted with the
chance to ride but appeared very dit
fdent. His body was a mass of mos
quito bites. He seemed to be OF good
morals, never made use Of profane
word on the road and stated positive
| III that he never would smoke.
Y The theory entertained by Mr..
| Marsh is that the boys mother, real
| izing that if he were determined to
start our for Springfield, she could not
stop hiru gave him the $3.50 think
ing it would be enough to bring him
home if he got tired on the road. The
| boy, however, did not give up but
kept on his journey, arriving this far
with $3.50 Of his money still left. Eff
| forts will be made to communicate
with his parents in Atlanta.

MRS. KABER BETTER
Woman Sentenced to Prison for Life
After Guilty Finding for First Degree
Murder Shows Improvement.

Cleveland, July 1S.-A slight change
for the better was noted this morning
in the physical condition of Mrs. Eva
Catherine Kaber, convicted on Satur-
day and sentenced to life Imprisonment
for the murder of her husband Daniel
f. Kaber.
Mrs. Kaber slept little last night
and ate sparingly, the first sleep or
food she has had since she was carried
back to her cell from the court room
after hearing sentence pronounced on
her. Apparently worn out by the trial
and the shock to her nervous system,
she has remained in a partly comatose
condition, showing little or no interest
in her surroundings. Her daughter,
Marian McArdle, awaiting trial charged
with first degree murder of Kaber, is
constantly with her.
