DANIELS POLICY SCORED Head of Department Said to Have Been Too Much Absorbed With 31 i nor Xavy Matters. WASHINGTON, March 14 After Captain Harris Laning, former assist ant chief of navigation, had told the senate committee investigating the ims-Ianiels row today that the navy had been without a comprehensive plan for war and that chaos virtually existed. Senator Trammell, democrat, Florida, confronted the captain with a letter he had written to Admiral Sims on August 18, 1918, saying he was "not convinced" that the bureau of operations "had erred in itjs general plans" and saying also that had Nome of Sims' recommendations been adopted they would have been "disastrous." Senator Trammell contended that Laning's letter wis a complete con tradiction of some of the Sims charges and also some of the charges in Lin ing's statement of today, but the cap tain contended that his letter referred to a period in the war later than that involved in the charges by Ad-1 miral Sims. Not only was the navy department without a comorehenslve plan for naval particiaptlon in war when the United States severed relations with Germany, but Secretary Daniels dis approved the general plan drawn up by the bureau of operations and sub mitted in March. 1917. Captain Laning told the committee. Department Held t'kaotir. As the result of this alleged lack of preparation, the witness said, the navy department virtually was In a state of chaos the day the United States entered the war. Tersonal characteristics" of Secre tary I.iuniels often made it impossible to obtain approval of Important plans and policies. Captain leaning asserted, as the personal interest taken by him in minor affairs "occupied so much time that he never had much left to give us for really important prob lems." Captain Laning testified that at the time war was declared there was not a sufficient reserve of 14-inch shells to refill the magazines of the dreadnaughts and that the bureau of ordnance had to obtain the aid of the bureau of operations to bring the matter ta the secretary's attention lmpressivt-ly enough to get authority to let contracts. Misa Harper, who had identified the i pictures of Meyers . and his still. wherein the defendant was busied at transmuting mash to moonshine, married the defendant, in Pendleton, i shortly before he came- to trial, to evade the necessity of testifying against him. "When Miss Harper married Mey ers," said Deputy United States At torney Keames. discussing the case, "the presumption was that the de fendant would escape the penalty, for It was upon the young woman's iden tification of the photos that we counted. But we found, another way out and Meyers consented to plead guilty." . The still which Meyers operated was never located by the federal of ficers. Only the. photos of Meyers and the still, quite evidently engaged in the making of liquor, were found. Hut the identification of these served to induce the Pendleton man to enter j a plea of guilty In Federal Judge Wolverton's court, and take his sen- . tence. Meyers and Misa Harper were mar ried while both were at liberty on bail, a few days before they were summoned to federal court.

Philadelphia Paper Demands publican Repudiation of Style of Fighting Against Hoover. Rradlnens lleport Denied. After several weeks' delay. Captain Laning said, the shells were ordered. Other charges made by the witness were that the department In the years immediately preceding the war did not advocate legislation and policies that would prepare the navy for hos tilities; that when it was apparent war could not be avoided the de partment still refused to prepare that lack of co-ordination in the. de- partment during the early months of the 'war reduced the effectiveness of .American participation and added to the cost, and that when war was de dared the department told the coun try the navy was ready, when in reality it was known that it would take at least 100 days to prepare even the latest ships for active service. Senator Trammell. democrat. Flor Ida, read a letter written by the cap tain to Rear-Admiral Sims In August, 1918, app. rently in answer to a letter from the admiral criticising the de partment for not co-operating more fully with thenaval forces abroad The Laning letter opened with the statement that the writer was "not convinced" that the bureau of opera tions had "erred in its general plans' and declared that a suggestion made by Admiral Suns earlier that the bat tleships be placed out of commission ana ineir crews be sent overseas would, if adopted, have proved "dis astrous." The letter continued: Sim. Criticism Decried. "Over there you give us the devil because we don't do all that you want us to do. You feel that we are failing you. Does it help the morale over there or over here to do that? . Criticism is easy and. just criticism is beneficial, but there is nothing more lowering to the morale than unjust criticism and criticism made without full knowledge and thought is apt to be unjust. , After reading the letter Senator Trammell asked Captain Laning if he did not think the letter answered many of Admiral Sims' charges and some of the criticisms made by Cap tain Laning himself in his direct statement. The officer replied that he did not believe so: that the letter referred to a period much later In the war than that covered by the Sims charges and his own testimony. At the request of Senator Pittman, democrat, Nevada, the committee ad mitted to the record General Bliss' denial that he had ever "recommended amalgamation of American troops with the foreign armies, as Rear Ad miral Sims testified. Daniel to Be Heard. Chairman Hale also read into the records his reply to Secretary Dan iels' request that the Bliss letter be put into the record, saying he con sidered it Improper to insert papers into the record at the request of per sons not before the committee and that Mr. Daniels would be given op portunity to present any documents lie desired when he was called to tes tify. The chairman's letter a'dded that "the papers have nothing to do with the very definite criticism of lack of preparedness and prompt support on the part of the navy department made by Admiral Sims in his letter of Jan uary 1." OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, Washington, March 24. Under the editorial head. "Republican Leaders Must Repudiate Jonathan Bourne," the Philadelphia Public Ledger launched a vitriolic attack today on the Republican publicity association conducted in this city by Ex-Senator Jonathan Bourne of Oregon. The former senator's offense is his long series of assaults through his publicity agency on Herbert Hoover, who is the Ledger candidate for the presidential nomination on any ticket. The Ledger has a n-ent reference by the Bourne organization to the published letter written by Hoover to the president during the peace con ference In Paris, urging that the United States retire from Europe, "lock, stock and barrel." In stating its case against the former Oregon senator the Ledger says: "That letter was published In the Public Ledger. Mr. Hoover at once stated most plainly and without equivocation that neither he nor his organization had given it out. The Public Ledger went further, and added that the letter did not come from any one connected with the movement to make Mr. Hoover a candidate for the presidency. That ought to have been explicit enough for an association of gentlemen ac customed to dealing with gentlemen. 'But on top of this, the Jonathan Bourne organization gave out a state ment to the effect that In the middle of March. 1920, after beginning a campaign for the presidency, Herbert Hoover permits his friends to give to the public a letter, etc. This is a blunt lie direct delivered in the face of Mr. Hoover. Mr. Hoover did not 'permit' his friends or anybody else to give out the letter in question. He did not know it was coming out. Yet the Jonathan Bourne bureau, with its resounding 'republican' tag, says that he did know, that he was privy' to its publication and that manifestly the publication of this letter is fo political purposes.' "It is for the republicans to decUle how long fhey can rest easy under the general imputation that they are behind this disreputable style of campaign. It Is not a method fighting that wins ; either respect toleration or victory. The American people have a high standard of de cency; and they instinctively resent the revival of the controversial meth ods of the now defunct barroom for the purposes of political debate." Strength of Californian in Presi. dential Race Apparently 'With Railroad Men. (Conjrljjht by the Sun and New Tork Herald. Published by Arrangement.) NEW YORK, March 24. (Special) On the face of the returns received from the poll of the republican county chairmen in Michigan, Major General Wood is the first choice of the organization there for the presi dential nomination. Governor Low den is second choice by a wide mar gin. Reports from special correspond ents, giving the last-minute condi tions in the state, indicate that it will be a pretty race for the presidential preference in the primary to be held on April 5. Wood is leading, but Lowden is coming up rapidly, accord ing to reports. Senator 'Johnson of California, who has been making a big play for the preference. Is Indi cated as a poor third both by the poll results and the correspondents. Michigan's 30 delegates to the na tional convention will be selected at the state convention to be held in Kalamazoo on May S. So far as the congressional district delegates are concerned, the state convention will merely ratify the prior choices made by the district conventions. The law does not bind the delegates to vote for the presidential candidate who wins in the primaries, but the republican party of Michigan has rule that they shall vote for such candidate on the first ballot and so long thereafter as it may be consid ered the candidate has a chance for nomination. However, the winning of the preference in the primary is considered to have strong moral force. the case of the state against Archie C. .Shoemaker, charged with criminal syndicalism, came to grief today when in answer to the question as to whether he was a member of the I.

SOME SEEDING IS DONE Railroad Man Reports Farmers Are Getting Ground in Shape. Willamette valley farmers are fore handed this year in getting the sea sonal farm work done, according to J A. Ormandy, assistant general passenger agent of the Southern Pa cific Oregon lines, who has just re turned from a trip through the valley. Owing to the light rainfall of the midwinter season it was practicable to get into the fields much earlier than in most years, and notwithstand Ing a shortage of farm help, the farmers have found time to get large part of their preparation of the ground finished and some seeding has been done. .ariy planting or the gram crops, ith favorable spring weather dur ing March and for the next month. would go far toward insuring heavy forage crops in the opinion of the farmers, says Mr. Ormandy. The berry growers have also finished a great deal of the preparatory work for tak ing up the seasonal cultivation of their lands, and notwithstanding a great deal of damage wrought by the early storm and freeze, the sentiment s that there will be pretty good yields in most localities tor this year.

WILSON SILENCE IS PLAN (Continued From First Page.) PICTURES USE' TERM EVEN MARRIAGE TO WITNESS FAILS TO SAVE MOONSHINER. Edward Meyers Gets Six Months and $500 Fine for Making Liquor Near Pendleton. Several playful snapshots, with the camera operated by his fiancee, brought woe and a term in jail to Edward Meyers, moonshiner, of the Pendleton district, who pleaded guilty in federal court yesterday and was sentenced to serve six months and pay a fine of $500. Not even marriage with the prose cution's principal witness, pretty Miss Edna Harper, availed to save Meyers from the penalty of distilling the for Jbldden fluid real corn whisky. For been printed freely in the newspa pers of the east during the last two days. Ptetares Skew Smtle Cone. The pictures, taken by moving pic ture photographers last Sunday, show the president in Beveral poses, and the comment everywhere is that they are the most interesting studies in photography that have appeared in a ong period. Though taken by the permission of Mr. Wilson, there Is not the sign of a smile, so characteristic of pictures of the president taken under similar circumstances before his illness. The long sickness and suffering has cut deeply into his fea tures. , His face is thinner and his hair much grayer, and all the softer, more appealing glances of earlier days appear to have surrendered to the harshness of a much overwrought man. The pictures are calculated to excite sympathy and the profound feeling that Mr. Wilson has resumed his public duties much too soon. The expression on the countenance of Mrs. Wilson shown sitting beside him in some of the pictures, is inter preted as a sign of regret on her part that consent was given to the pho tographer to take the pictures at the time. These pictures tell mora than can be recited in words and as they will be appearing on the Pacific coast within the next two or three days. it is not necessary further to dwell upon their spelling. The least that can be said is that they show it still to be true, as has been said so many times since last October, hat "the president is still a' very sfctc man." Primary Entrant Many. Michigan has a good line of candi dates in both the republican and the democratic primaries. It requires petition with only 100 names to place a name on the ballot. After the time for filing has expired it is impossible to withdraw from the primary, as several involuntary candidates have discovered. The republican entries are Wood, Lowden. Johnson, General Pershing, Senator Poindexter, Herbert Hoover and William Gerald Simpson, a local celebrity in a portion of the city of Detroit. When the barrier goes down for the democratic steeplechase these can didates will be off for the preference of that organization in Michigan: William J. Bryan. Attorney-General Palmer, William G. McAdoo, Herbert Hoover and Governor Edwards of New Jersey. A peculiar Interest will attach to the Michigan primaries for the rea son that it will be the only state where there will be a clean-cut issue between the "wet" Governor Edwards and the "dry" Mr. Bryan. The New JerMy-wevernor has been able to with draw his name in all other states where entered for the preferential primary, but the peculiar law there prevented it in Michigan. Mr. Mc Adoo and Mr. Hoover also attempted to get their names off the Michigan ballot, in vain. Because of the fact that the former food administrator is a candidate both in the republican and democratic pri maries there will be an excellent chance to compare his strength as a republican and as a democratic can didate for president. Iesgue of Rations Is Iasae. Prohibition does not seem to be in the minds of the Michigan people as a paramount issue. The league of nations leads as an issue, with "democratic inefficiency" a close second and "Americanism" close up. Of all the "first, choice" votes re ceived in the poll Major-General Wood got 85.5 per cent and Lowden 14.5 per cent. No other candidate waa mentioned as a first choice. There were indications at the time the bal lots were filled out from comments written in that Lowden was "coming up" strong and narrowing the gap between himself and Wood. Late cor respondence indicates that at present the Wood lead is not nearly as large as would be indicated by the above percentages. The county chairmen in indicating their "second choice" went from Wood to Lowden in great numbers, but not from Lowden to Wood. That is. the men who named Lowden as first did not name Wood second, but the Wood first men picked Lowden for second to a great extent. Of all the second choice" votes cast Lowden polled 60 per cent and Wood only 3 per cent. Johnson and Harding got the same number, with William H. Taft men tioned in one county and Hoover in another. These were the comments made by some in voting for Wood: "Wood leads now," with the "now" under scored: "Lowden Is gaining rapidly on Wood ; This may change before June 8." Among other issues not already re- ferred to brought out by the county chairmen were extravagance in Wash ington, the tariff, excessive taxation, the relations between labor and cap ital, the "high cost of living," social- sm, military training, government ownership, and "a vigorous foreign and domestic police versus tergiversa tion, which latter, being liberally ranslated, means jumping from one point of view to another. Attorney-General Palmer is reported as a slight favorite in the democratic race. WITNESS RUNS AMUCK Admission Made on Stand of Being an I. W. W.; Arrest Follows. PASCO, Wash., March 24.

The theory advanced locally to ex plain It is that the man bad a cache of money in the canyon, near his home, which is isolated, and that this cache was known to others; that these unidentified persons caught Mr. Eggergluess Tuesday as he was mak ing one of his trips into the canyon. built a fire and tried to make him reveal his secret through torture. which, whether successful or not. ad vanced so far that the man died as I the result of the punishment.
