THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY. MAT S3, 1920 i I I i -! IVY PLANS ill'! TO BE TOLD SENATE Presentation to Be Part of Investigation!. DANIELS MAKES CHARGES Sub-Committee Declared to Hare Exceeded Its Powers in Going Outside Original Controversy. WASHINGTON'. May' 21. Navy plana for war with Germany as they stood prior to April. 1917, about which controversy has . centered during senate investigation of the conduct of the war, will be shown to the senate committee next week in execu tive, session. Secretary Daniels told the com mittee today that after a conference with Rear-Admiral Badger, head of the navy genera) board, it had been 'decided that the full plan could be presented, . although it embodied, he said, fundamental strategy that would govern war in Jhe Atlantic with any power. Committee Is AeeuMd. . Secretary Daniels today accused the senate sub-committee investigat ing Rear-Admiral. Sims' charges against the navy department's -conduct of the war with having ex ceeded its powers in going outside the original controversy over naval war decorations. The committee, Mr. Daniels told Chairman Hale, had givn Admiral Sims an opportunity to make an "ostentatious" representa tion of his charges when it required hjm to produce his letter of criticism to the department. - - The secretary appeared to undergo cross-examination of his direct testis mony, concluded yesterday. After Chairman Hale, in a preliminary statement, had stated that Admiral Sims' criticisms were impersonal and aimed at "responsible .heads," and not at the navy as a whole, Mr. Daniels challenged the' chairman to show by reading from the letter that' it referred, as Mr. Hale had said, to the first few months of the war. Chairman Reads Letter. In reply, the chairman read from the Sims letter and testimony, but Mr. Daniels insisted that nothing had been read showing that Admiral Sims confined his charges to the first few months. Secretary Daniels declared Admiral Sims has charged Admiral Benson. Qhief of naval operations, with lack ing the "will to win." Senator Hale replied that the charge was not directed at Benson, but at the man who had the final responsibility. "What do youlrneanT" asked Secre tary Daniels. "He referred indirectly to the chleT. of naval operations and directly to the secretary of the navy," replied the chairman. "And in view of that you still maintain that there were no person alities In the Sims letter?" asked the secretary. "That wasn't a charge, it was a criticism," Mr. Hale said. If Admiral Sims thought, when he left the United States, that Admiral Benson lacked "the will to win," he should have so notified President Wilson, Mr. Daniels declared. notified by M. Krasnosholkoff, min ister of foreign affairs of the pro visional government in Siberia, of the formation of the buffer state of Ver khnie Udinsk, consisting of all trie territories to the east of Lake Baikal, including Kamohaka and the Sak halien. according to advices received in a Peking dispatch dated May 19. The notification stated that the Chi nese Eastern railway would .be a free property under this plan. M. Krasnosholkoff said " he hoped that after the formation of this state all the allied forces, including the Jap anese. would evacuate Siberia. The Peking message adds that, al though it is believed this movement is inspired from Moscow, the lega tions are disinclined to consider it seriously without further information.

LOWDEN IS LACKADAISICAL Campaign Thought to Be Conduct ed in a Too Indifferent Way to Bring Success. BT MASK SDlilVAX. SIOUX CITT. Ia., May 20. Wash ington, May 20. -.(Special, delayed In transmission.) From the points of view of the leaders here, the outcome of the primaries that is awaited with greatest Interest is the relative stand ing of Wood and Johnson. As be tween theee two men, there would seem to be no reason why Johnson should have any less success fighting Wood in Oregon that he has fighting Wood in Nebraska, Michigan, New Jersey and Indiana. Indeed, Johnson ought to have a better chance -to defeat Wood in Oregon than in the "other state be cause in Oregon Johnson should have behind him the forces as elsewhere, plus an element that does not exist in the middle west and east, that is, the anti-Japanese feeling. But against this all, the reports from Oregon are to -the effect that. Wood has the best organization. However, Wood has had the better -organization every where. Hoover Xase Symbolized. Three other candidates are on'the republican ballot Hoover, Lowden and Poindexter. Both Hoover and Poindexter have withdrawn, but they did not make their decisions to with draw until after the ballots were printed. TJe consequence is that Hoover especially will have a large vcke in spite of his withdrawal. If Hoover had not taken himself out of the race he would have been a serious contender. He would have done better in Oregpn than in California. People who are for Hoover at all are for him because of conviction and sentiment. The Hoover' name is a Symbol. Many people will vote for this symbol on the ballot in spite of his withdrawal, just as a matter of recording their po sition. Lowden, it is supposed, if the information that comes from Oregon to the leaders at the capltol is correct, will run well behiDd both Wood and Johnson. Lowden's campaign in Oregon has been much like his campaign in all the states he has entered. . except South Dakota. The Lowden campaign frequently gives the Impression of being rather lackadaisical. It Is not pushed as if there was driving force and real wish to win behind it. In this policy the Lowden forces run some risk. This apparent indifference or at least lack of strenuous striving for the prize on the part of Lowden and his forces, has been, one of the puzzling factors in the wnole cam paign. It might be a harmless policy in a campaign where no one else is doing much striving and to some, Lowden's relative indifference makes an appeal by contrast with the hectic breathlessness of some of his competi tors, but the time may come when Lowden will find it difficult to re concile the measures of his attain ment as a poor third with giving good reasons why the convention should treat him better than other candidates who have rolled up large votes and been second and third. Rxplalmimsr to Be Draft Under certain circumstances it is easy to Imagine the delegates and leaders ignoring tho results of the primaries altogether and picking a dark horse candidate from outside the major contenders in the pro maries. If they should desire to do this they could build up a good case to Justify themselves on the theory that the primaries had been held in so small a number of states and had been attended by so few voters as to be not convincingly representative. But if the convention assumes to con sider the primaries at all there will be some embarrassment to explain when they should at the same time pick a candidate who has had fewer delegates than one of the other con tenders and fewer votes than another contender. There will be a lot of oratory on this point before the con vention is over. However, all the considerations belong at a point far ther ahead than we are now. Sixteen delegates will also be elected from West Virginia today. Wood is now campaigning in that state. He is the only one of the ma jor aspirants who has entered and the only other entrant is a state fig ure. Senator Sutherland. VICE INQUIRY RECALLED Roosevelt Makes Disclaimer as to Newport Probe Methods. WASHINGTON. May II.

L. last May, whose al leged misconduct is being investi gated.

' Notable Who Attracted Much At . tention In America Gets De cree in England. LONDON, May 21. Iord Sholto Douglas, third? eon of the late, eighth Marquis of Queensberry has obtained a divorce. His former wife was Loretta Audis Mooney of California. The case was not defended. Their marriage took place in San Jose, CaL. in 1895. Lord Sholto Douglas made his pres ence well known in California in 1895, when he went to Bakersfleld to look over ranch property with a view to settling there. In one of the dance halls he saw Loretta Mooney and later married her. A honeymoon month was spent in a cottage at Alameda and later the couple returned to Los Angeles, when it was said Lord Sholto Douglas1 was without funds. Lady Douglas then took to the stage to earn a livelihood pending the ar rival of money from England. Atten tion was again attracted to the couple in 1903, when Lord Sholto took out an insurance policy of 1110,000 in favor of his wife. In the summer of 190 Lord Sholto was taken into custody by the Port land, Me., authorities, who - mistook him for an American bigamist known as "Lord Douglas." who was wanted by the authorities of many states. Lord Sholto had rented a cottage on the shores of Lake Sebago, in Maine, with a view to improving his wife's health. He was at this cottage with his- wife and their son when arrested. His identity was proved after com munication with London and he was released. A grand jury at Nelson, British Co lumbia, on May 4, 1909. acquitted Lord Sholto of the charge of shooting with intent to kill, in September o 1908, a former British officer, J. B. Row lands. The story had it that Sholto, upon returning from a hunting trip to bis house at Creston, found Row lands there and ordered him to leave. Lord Sholto, it waa said, then fired at Rowlands. Lady Sholto Douglas, in 1914, was said to be appearing at a London the ater under the name of Lorna Leslie. $500 TAKEN BY ROBBERS Camp Held TJp by Three Young Men Masked With Handkerchiefs. ABERDEEN.
