OPPOSED Jr.. 787 ) of - 91. 1 .nmnv- ' liairman Wadsworth Declares Plan Impracticable If Feature of Measure Is Rejected. WASHINGTON. April 8. Senate supporters of compulsory universal military training facing certain de feat today retreated from pressing the adoption of their plan or four months" training of all youths as a part of the army reorganization- bill. With this change of front, advocates of training shifted their tactics in an ef.fort to obtain acceptance of a sys tem of voluntary training. It was expected that a vote wouia be taken on the voluntary training substitute tomorrow. There will be no direct vote on the compulsory plan, if the voluntary plan is adbpted. .Measure CoDidered "Wreck." Supporters of the compulsory train ing feature expressed the opinion to day that its defeat meant the virtual "wreck" of the entire measure, ben ator Wadsworth, New York, in charge ot the bill, said provision for reducing the regular army to 210,000 men with in the next five years would not be practicable with compulsory training 1 ejected. Senator Prelinghuysen, republican, New Jersey, a supporter of the com pulsory plan, offered the amendment for training volunteers. Debate was confined entirely to the training schemes. Senator Thomas, folorado, said defeat of compulsory training was largely due to "political cowardice" of members desirous of refraining from supporting it on the eve of election. Wars Declared Inevitable. Frellnprhuysen, in condemning op position to military training founded on the theory that the men who fought Germany can be called upon again, said: "They have carried their portion of the burden. It must be remem bercd we had an unmarried army, and that even now hundreds of thousands r Its membership have married. 'v'fhe last war has taught us that wars are inevitable. We are some what estranged already with the na tions which united with us in the fields of France. Mexico no longer respects us. and some day we must fhow her, too, that she cannot always murder American citizens and abolish American property rights." her son, Robert S.

Wilson, coramander-inicWef ; of the Atlantic fleet, disagreed today with many of Rear-Admiral Sims criticisms of the navy department 8 conduct of the war. Before the sen ate investigating committee, he de clared the aetive fleet never was bet ter prepared for war then in April, 1917, the-department wholeheartedly and energetically co-operated with the allies from the moment war was declared . and "full and complete plans" were prepared to meet a. Ger man naval offensive. The navy's accomplishments in the war,-; he.' said, "deserve the commen dation i&f the nation," for they were so. stupendous ae to make "relatively unimportant any mistakes. Daniel' Promise Recalled. T'ive'days after the United States declared .war , Secretary Daniels told representatives .of the allied admiral ties .'that the" United States navy would do whatever they suggested as best for. the- common cause, the wit ness said, and plans then agreed on were immediately placed in effect. On cross-examination the admiral Buggested'that greater authority and responsibility be given the chief of naval operations, but said that he would not have, that official encroach on the authority of the secretary of the' navyf for, he added, "the navy's salvation, is to have a civilian at the head." : Patrol Commanded In War, Admiral Wilson, now commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet, command ed the patrol force that first pro tected waters-adjacent to the United States and later based .'at Brest, France, co-operated in protecting al lied convoys in the war zone and hunting U-boats. Within four days after this country entered the war, representatives of the allied admiralties were in con ference with Secretary Daniels and naval officers in" Washington outlin ing the means by which the most ef fective assistance could be rendered by this country, the witness declared. I have agreed to write a series or articles for McClure's while In Japan, and that, so far as I know, will con stitute my sole literary effort while we are knocking around over there." Some years ago Mr. Street visited . the Pacific coast and Portland on an ; assignment from Collier's Weekly, writing a series of articles on Amer- j ican cities, which were published un- I der the general caption, "Abroad at ! Home." He has been engaged In the writing game for 20 years, dedicating : his ambition to literary pursuits be-', fore he left high school. "What I really wanted to be," laughed Mr. Street, "was a newspaper man. My father thought differently i and would have placed me in a rail road office. Those were the days of the old-style, tipsy journalist, and father saw alarming, possibilities in the choice of such a career. "Well, I went to New York and ' I did get on a paper. I believe that I must have been the punkest reporter who ever attempted to cover an as signment. If sent out on a fire I never knew how many stories there were in the building, or anything at all regarding the fire save some ob scure incident that had engrossed my attention. They made me a dramatic critic, and so 1 served for a year or more. Then I opened an advertising agency." . Here Mr. Street blew thoughtfully at the ashes on his cigarette tip. "I didn't remain long in the adver tising field," he said.. "That venture is still on its legs. It did $4,000,000 worth of business last year."

Mrs. Robert Livermore Howard, widow of the late Robert S. Howard Sr.:' died yesterday at the home of the public, is the promise of H. H. Corey, member of the Oregon public service commission who today filed with the secretary of state here hi declaration of candidacy for re-elec tion. Mr. Corey Is now serving his first term as eastern Oregon'fe representa tive on the public service commis sion, prior to which time he served four years as its secretary. In reviewing his record while serving as a member of the commis sion Mr. Corey says it was he who initiated investigations on behalf of eastern Oregon shippers into express rates on cream and dairy products, re suiting in rates permitting the manu facturers of eastern Oregon to better compete with the coast producers; also was largely instrumental in se curing the reduction of fruit rates to competitive' markets in the east, the total savings to shippers aggregating $250,000. Mr. Corey. also Instituted the intra state grain rate case, out of which grew the interstate case, whicV. it is predicted, will give the grain grow ers of eastern Oregon lower rates to Portland than to sound cities. H says he also secured the enactment oft the public necessity and conveni ence law, and another authorizing the commission to suspend new utility tariffs pending investigation as . to their reasonableness, also an amend ment to .the demurrage law which greatly broadens the power of the commission. Mr. Corey also takes credit for betterments of service gen erally, including new depots and loading tracks, new passenger cars and as prompt a supply of cars for shippers as is consistent with the present national car shortage situa tion. Mr. Corey has been a resident of Baker since 1886, and secured his early education in the schools of that city. He was a volunteer during the Spanish-American war and did not claim exemption during the recent conflict with Germany. Mr. Corey gives six reasons why he should be nominated and elected, and points with pride to his campaign card con taining photographs of his six chil' dren. FEE CLAIMED FOR ADMINIS TERING PRINCE ESTATE. Winthrop Hammond Declares Com pensation Fair According to Results Accomplished. RAILROAD MAIL ROBBED Five Clerks Bound and Registered Letters Rifled. KANSAS CITT, Mo., April 8. The mail car of Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad train No. 9, Chicago to Kansas City, was robbed between Lexington Junction and Kansas City tonight. No estimate of the amount of loot obtained was available. The robber boarded the train at Lexington Junction, Mo., 30 miles east of here. Entering the mail car flourishing a revolver, he forced four of the five mail clerks ot vlie, face downward, on the floor and compelled a fifth to bind "them. He then bound the fifth man himself and proceeded leisurely to rifle the registered mail. The bandit left the train at Shef field, an industrial suburb of Kansas City. A fee of $100,000 for hts services as guardian of the late Thomas Prince is asked by Winthrop Hammond in the final report filed in the $800,000 Prince estate yesterday. During his guardian snip, extending over a period of more than two years, Mr. Hammond asserts that he hat saved the estate in excess of $337,000 in a personal report sub mitted to Circuit Judge Tazwell. ex planatory of the heavy demand. Tne sum asked is by far the largest of record in guardianships in the local courts. Mr. Hammond, who knew the de ceased in jnassacnusetts before com ing west, was a director in several banks in that state and since coming to Oregon has been president of the Hammond Mortgage company and proprietor of a Portland clothing store. He was appointed guardian of Mr. Prince January 3, 1918, and re malned such until the death of Mr. Prince in Santa Barbara one February 3, iszu. That , the amount asked is "a fai and proper compensation for results chieved by reason of experience ability and close attention to the af fairs or the. estate," is declared by Mr Hammond. At the time he took charge or the estate, he said, Mr. Prince' closest relatives were urging him to give up all holdings in Oregon. vnn a sense or duty well per. tormea ana with some pride, th guardian draws attention to the fact that out of this apparent financia wreck he had saved in excess of $337,000 and released all liabilities upon approximately $500,000 worth of eastern assets," writes Mr. Hammond. Five weeks before his death, Mr. Prince is quoted as telling Mr. Ham mond that he believed no other man in Oregon could have attained such satisfactory results in the manage ment of his affairs. Mr. Hammond declares that he has won the confi dence of the heirs and that his efforts have done .much to make possible the condition of the estate by which there is much to be divided among the heirs. He says that he thinks his compensa tion should be somewhat commen surate with the results obtained. Whether the heirs will contest the request is not yet known. Obituary. QHERIDAN, Or., April 8.
