Daniels Accuses Admiral of
Using Senator's Words.
1500,000 for establishing a municipal
', llffht and water plant was Imprac
tical. The company announced Its In
tention of endeavoring to head off the
bond issue through an advertising
campaign In hope of educating the
voters to their view so that the pro
posal would be defeated.
It was also stated that in event the
bonds were voted the company will
ask the city council to consider pur
chase of the old plant by arbitration.
This, Mr. Teon stated, would protect
the stockholders of the company from
serious loss. A full page ad in the
Roseburg paper tonight indicates that
the light' and water company will
follow the plan outlined.

WASHINGTON. May 18. Senator
Penrose, republican, Pennsylvania,
and not Rear-Admiral Sims, origi
nated the basic charges against the
navy department contained in the ad
miral's letter of January 1, Secretary
Daniels asserted today before the sen
ate committee investigating the naval
conduct of the war.
Mr. "Daniels recalled that the sen
ator, in a speech in the senate on
August 24, 1918, declared that pro
crastination on the part of the secre
tary delayed the termination of the
war at least three months, cost $15,-
000,000,000 and many lives.
"The words used by Senator Penroi
were almost identical with those used
by Admiral Sims more than a year
1-, Aw I "i 1 r
Plagiarism Held Possible.
"Either Admiral Sims is a plagiarist
and appropriated his views and
charges from Senator Penrose or by
the new science of mental telepathy
the views of the senator were com
municated to Admiral Sims," declared
Mr. Daniels. "Penrose comes from
Pennsylvania, and Sims was appointed
to the naval academy from that state.
"It is also worthy of note." he said.
"that at the very time Penrose was
making this speech Sims was writing
to CaDtain Pratt threatening an in
vestigation of the conduct of the
war."
Mr. Daniels said : he would not an
swer the Penrose charges at length,'
because his answer to Admiral Sims
covered the matter fully. He devoted
the rest of the day to a resume of the
navy department's war construction
activities, comprising approximately
1000 vessels, nearly three times as
mnay as there were in the entire navy
when the war started.
British Honor Denied Sims.
Secretary Daniels atd Admiral
Sims' "highest and dearest ambition"
was blasted when permission to ac
cept an appointment as an honorary
member of the British admiralty was
refused him. The secretary added
that the admiral expressed "deep re.
gret and embarrassment" when the
permission was denied, because the
tender had come from the "king
himself"
Although the offer was without
nrecerient. Mr. Daniels said it could
not be accented because it was "un-
American" and had not been made to
representatives of the other allies.

MR. HOUSER IS FOR WOOD
GENEKAJL COUNTED STRONG
EST AXTWOILVSOX FORCE.
Problem Held Economic One, That
of Establishing Harmonious Re
lations With Nations.
"If we regrret haviner taken part in
the war with Germany, and now wish
to renounce everything accomplished
by the efforts and sacrifices of the
nation, then we should support Sen
ator Hiram W. Johnson in his oppo
sition to the treaty and to the safe
guarded league of nations."
This statement was made by Max
H. Houser, who yesterday announced
himself as favorable to the candidacy
of Leonard Wood, whom he considers
the strongest force opposed to the
"no-league" candidacy of Senator
Johnson in the Oregon primaries.
"There is very little of the per
sonal element in my view." said Mr.
Houser, "for personalities mean noth
ing to me now. Our problem i3 an
economic one tht of establishing
harmonious relations with other na
tions.
"But our prospects for overseas
trade would be very materially im
paired if we should refuse to associ
ate ourselves with other nations in
any such common understanding as
that contemplated by the treaty.
American commerce, I feel, would be
seriously affected.
"Granted a smooth relationship
with other world powers, there will
be vast opportunities for America in
the field of foreign commerce. Kspe
cially important to the Pacific coast
are the prospects for business in
China, where development is only be
ginning. After certain preliminaries
have been carried out. there are other
possibilities for trade in the orient.
including Siberia. I believe that a
great deal depends upon friendly re
lations between the United States and
'the other nations that took part in
the world war."
In giving his views on the political
situation in Oregon, Mr. Houser em
phasized the need of individual think
ing by all classes of voters. Before

active in promoting the Hoover candidacy.
