THE MORNING OKEGONIAN. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1918. " AIRCRAFT OFFICERS ' TO BE PROSECUTED Compliance With Findings of Hughes Will Be Prompt. FEDERAL JURY TO ACT Investigation of Conditions in Spruce Production District of North west Will Be Made. WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 Prosecution of the three Army officers held by Charles Evans Hughes in his report on the aircraft investigation to be guilty of dealing with corporations in which they were financially interested is to be started without delay, it was said ' today at the Department of Justice. The case may be laid before a Federal grand jury in Washington. The officers are Lieutenant-Colonel J. G. Vincent, former vice-president of the Packard Motor Car Company; Lieutenant-Colonel George W. Mixter, a stockholder in the Curtlss Airplane and Motor Corporation, and Lieutenant Samuel B. Vrooman, Jr., a stockholder in the S. B. Vrooman Company, of Philadelphia. If substantiated, the charges made against the officers would involve im prisonment of not more than two years and fine of not more than J2000. Others May Be Involved. Reports that other Army officers commissioned since the Nation entered the war have been dealing with firms in which they have a financial inter est are being investigated by agents of the Department of Justice. It was un derstood that the number of officers under investigation was small. Secretary Baker said today he had not completed his study of Mr. Hughes' re port and was not prepared to announce his action upon recommendations of Mr. Hughes that Colonel E. A. Deeds, at tached to the Bureau of Military Aero nautics, be brought to courtmartial for the alleged supplying of confidentiaJ War Department information to for mer business associates in Dayton, Ohio. Request for an inquiry by the Wat Department into aircraft affairs wa made some months ago by Major General George O. Squier, Colonel Deeds and other officers, but Secretary Bake held it in abeyace until the investiga tion of Mr. Hughes and the Senate committee had been completed. Spruce Inquiry In PrMpcct Further investigation into conditions in the spruce-producing section of the Northwest, as recommended by Mr. Hughes, is to be undertaken by Gov ernment agents, it was said today. Representative Eess, of Ohio, chair man of the Republican Congressional committee, issued a statement today commenting upon the Hughes aircraft report. He referred to profits of the Ford plant and to "the appalling waste of money as indicated in sundry in stances." Recalling the Senate mili tary committee's report of a few months agu, Mr. Kess said: "These two reports emphasize the imperative necessity of some legisla tive supervision over the vast expendi ture Congress is appropriating every month. "The President has resisted all efforts to'that"e"nd and has charged Repub licans with a desire to control him be cause of their contention that an audit ing system must be adopted whereby the department which expends the money must not be left to audit its own accounts, but left to the authority of the body that authorizes the ex penditures. Kstimatei Mere Guesses. "The real danger of the present sys tem is apparent. In our last deficiency bill just passed facts were revealed to prove that department estimates were mere guesses. "A Republican Congress will demand an accounting, a different system of estimating, a more business-like review of these estimates, and legislative re view and final preparation of all ap propriation bills." CHICAGO, Nov. 1. It was said at the office of the United States District Attorney here today that indictments probably would be returned tomorrow in connection with the aircraft scandal The men to be named all live in Chi cago, it was said. EMPLOYES OF FORD ACCUSED Disloyalty Charges Mentioned in Aircraft Report. WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. Sensational interest is attached here to the Hughes report on aircraft production. Con spicuous among the features of the re port that challenge public attention is that part which deals with charges of disloyalty made against employes of Henry Ford. Pages 154 and 155 of the Hucrhes report contain the following: "In the case of the Ford Motor Com pany, one of the company's employes (who had formerly been in the educa tional department and had represented the American Protective League) testi tied as to his inquiry Into cases of dis loyalty. "The reports obtained by him exhibit 'utterances of employes in antagonism to the Government, insulting references to the President, and praise of the Kaiser. "In an extreme case, in which the em ploye reviled and even threatened the President, there was a prosecution and a plea of guilty. The man was lined , $300. was released and the testimony is that he resumed work in the Ford plant. "The reports were numerous, and the employe who obtained them testified that there was about 200 employes whose loyalty was seriously open to question, but how many of these were employed in Government work he could not say. "So far as the Liberty engine was concerned, his investigation related to half a dozen cases in the drafting- de partment in the Ford Company. "In this department there was a seri ous situation which engaged the atten tion of the management. Its impor tance was manifest from the fact that the drafting department embraces the tool desigvi and drafting room in which the drafting work upon the Liberty en gine is done, and it is possible for one in that department to bring about de lays, the causes of which, in view of the multiplicity of drawings involved, it Would be difficult satisfactorily to trace. "This department was in charge ol Carl Emde. There were repeated re ports of pronounced pro-German, utter ances by. Emde. A former employe, who had left the plant voluntarily and had later been found with plans and photographs of the plant, was a clos'e friend of Emde's and had been em ployed in his department. This man. It is understood, has been interned. "While nothing conclusive could be established against Emde in relation to his work, the advisability of removing him from a position of such importance was clear to some of the most im portant men in the management shop. "A conference was held on the- sub ject at which Mr. Ford and the factory managers were present. "According 'tqp the minutes of this conference reports were read 'from va rious members of the drafting depart ment who were in touch with the situ ation, and who felt that the depart ment was practically a pro-German, in stitution.' "Several conferees expressed the opinion that Emde should be removed, and one said that in his opinion 'in the very nature of things Mr. Emde could not give us anything required ;to as sist the Government of , the United States.' "Mr. Ford, however, was opposed to that course and overruled his asso ciates. Mr. Ford's position and his rea sons are thus set forth in the minutes: " 'Mr. Ford deliberated and stated that he had heard numerous rumors, but in speaking of all he had heard said there had not been one thing shown him which would make him change the present head of the draft ing department." " 'He felt that it was a time of sac rifice, that in the next few years every man would be called upon to make seme sort of sacrifice, and that possibly Mr. Emde, German-born, was making his sacrifice now when making draw ings for the Liberty motor to be used ultimately against Germany.' "This statement of attitude is suffi ciently impressive and requires no com ment. The proposed removal did not take place. "There has been a laxity at the Ford plant with respect to those of German sympathies which is not at all com patible with the interests of the Gov ernment. In deference to Mr. Ford's view, those in direct charge of produc tion who were alive to the situation, have had to pursue a policy of constant watchfulness and supervision instead of being free to take the precautions which the exigency demanded." TISZA SLAIN BY SOLDIER EX-PREMIER SHOT TO DEATH AT BUDAPEST. Assassin Takes Life of One of Fore most Fignres Jn Political Lire of Hungary. COPENHAGEN, Nov. 1. Count Tisza, the former Hungarian Premier, has been killed by a soldier, according to a Budapest telegram today. The Count fell victim to a revolver shot while he was. out walking. BASEL, Nov. 1. Count Tisza was promenading with his family when, he was shot, a Budapest dispatch received here by way of Berlin announces. A woman member of the group was wounded, it is added. Count Tisza, whose life is reported ended by assassination, has long been one of the storm centers of Hungarian politics. It has been charged that Count Tisza was one of the four men responsible for the war and the accusation has been made that he instigated the as sassination of Archduke Ferdinand. A Magyar and Hungarian to the core, Count Tisza was pro-German and aimed constantly at the supremacy of Hungary over Austria within the dual monarchy. He was born in 1861,. the youngest son of Kalman Tisza, a lead ing .Hungarian statesman, who gave Hungary a consolidated government. Count Tisza was twice Premier of Hungary, from 1903 to 1905 and from June 6, 1913, to May 23, 1917. He was the center of many riotous scenes in the Hungarian Parliament during his leadership, and in lfl3 fought at least three duels with political opponents. In January of that year he wounded Count Michael Karolyi, a lifelong and bitter opponent, in a duel in Budapest Up to his retirement from the Pre miership he was opposed to the paci fists in Hungary. Within the last year, however, he has urged peace and in a speech October 19 declared he no longer had. hopes for an Austro-German vic tory. An unsuccessful attempt was made to assassinate Count Tisza in Budapest, October 17. His assailant at that time was arrested? Influenza?

NEW TORK. NovTl. Stirred by dis patches from London that a report was current there that the allies were pre pared to make a "bargain" with Turkey by which she would be left in posses sion of Armenia in return for a free passage of the Dardanelles, Arshag Mahdesian, secretary of the American committee for Armenian independence, today ent a telegram to President Wil son urging him to protest against such a compromise with the Constantinople government. official copy of the award. Is Identical with that which appeared In the press dispatches several days ago. Aside from the specific provisions for wage Increases the feature of the award is the recommendation made by the board, with reference to ways and means by which the company may be enabled to meet the added operating costs brought-about by the .wage In crease. In effect, the finding of the board la that when operating costs of street railway companies have been heavily augmented by necessary wage increases and other expense, the individual com pany must be protected from bank ruptcy or receivership by action on the part of the regulatory conies or tne state or community having Jurisdiction. Though the War Labor Board is em powered to specify rate Increases to meet advanced operating costs, in none of the cases passed upon has it utilized this function, but in each has made recommendation for remedial action by the state or community. Under the section devoted to financial recommendation the award states that the increase in wages will add ma terially to the operating costs of the company and will require a recon sideration by the proper regulating au thority of the fare which tne company is allowed by law to collect from Its passengers.
