who is 65 years old, has been given the
presidential nomination by his party
four times previously. He was a dem
ocrat befoA he became a socialist. In
the late seventies he served two terms
in the Indiana legislature from Terre

candidate for congress from the Fifth
Indiana district. In 1894, from May
to November, he served a sentence ln
jail for contempt of court in an Illi

His present imprisonment resulted
from investigation of a speech In (Jan

, Lack of patronage on the down

temporary discontinuance of the serv

today by Secretary Daniels. He referred to a message which
Admiral Sims had presented as part of his criticism of the navy
department and which purported to have been signed by the
secretary.
"Somewhere somebody was guilty
of signing my name to an official dis
patch which the original, here pro
duced, shows I never signed," air.
.Daniels told the committee, "or of al
tering a dispatch by erasing the real
signature and substituting 'Daniels." "
The concluding paragraph of the
cablegram read:
, ."In regard to convoys, I consider
.that American vessels having armed
guards are safer when sailing Inde
pendently." Mr. Daniels testified that Immedi
ately upon reading the admiral's tes
timony he knew he never sent such a
telegram and he started an Investiga
tion. The secretary said he finally found
the original dispatch In the British
embassy through which It had been
sent and that the name signed to It
was "A. F. Carter, by directions of
the chief of naval operations."
Admiral Sims should produce the
person who changed the' signature,
Mr. Daniels declared, adding the ad
miral owed an "apology to me and to
the country for the Impression under
taken to be made by his testimony
based upon a false signature." ,
'. Much of the secretary's testimony
today was devoted to the controver
sy over convoying troop ships. He In
sisted that the admiral's course re
garding the protection of troop ships
.caused the department "much anxl,

Sims that everything was secondary
to the safeguarding of vessels carry
