'Congressmen Are Venting

By L C. Martin
(United Press -stuff correspondent)
Washington, Dec. 3. Representative
Jameg R. Mauii house republican load
er, torlay came Out flatly against the
resolution to install Vice President
Marshall in the white house while Pres
Silent Wilson is abroad.
Mann also declared himself wholly
out of sympathy with tie attempt to
embarrass the president while he is on
the 'peace mission. He pron'seU mere
would be no concerted attempt by re
publicans la the house to question the
constitutionality of the president's
'trip. " ,
Factional strife at ,home should not
lis allowed to give the impression that
the American people are divided on
the peace iss-ue, Mann sajil.
In the senate, however, there was a
deposition among gome republicans to
start some interesting developments,

that the forces in Europe be returned

Senator Hitchcock, .chairman 6 the

London, Dec, 3. (British admiralty
wireless.) The Morning Post, com
menting on the ex-kaiser's belated ab
dication says '
"It is possible that .the document
purporting to be the formal abdication
of the Genman emperor is genuine, and
I it is equally possible that it is nothing
of the kind. In eitnor case the instru
ment contains no word concerning suc
cession or dynasty, nor h it counter
signed by any responsible official. If,
i however, by virtue of this paper Wil-
helm II has in fact abdicated the
throne of Prussia and the over-lordship
of tJeruiany, he has been staying
in a neutral coiiHtry under false pre
tenses. His abdication was formally an
nounced by what was the German gov
ernment when he fled to Holland, so
that his condition in that country was
ostensibly the condition of a private
person. It now appears that lie was real
ly king and German emperor until Fri
day last- In that case the hospitality
of Holland has been abused.
Was Demand for Extradition
"It is also worth noting that the
written abdicafion was published at a
moment when there is a demand for
extradition of the visitor. What proof
of his abdication, it may be asked, did
the ": German emperer present to the
Dutch government when he crossed the
frontier? If no such proof was offered
it scemes that the royal fugitive should
have been promptly interned as ft de
serter." , I . -V .
The Mancliester Guardian says: -"The
kaiser's formal abdication is
tardy and this document, executed as
recently as last Priday, he issues under
'our imperial seal' the crown prince
has not so far executed a similar, deed,
and it is natural to conclude that he
reserves his claim as heir to his fath
er, and is waiting his opportunity to
enforce it." '

Diplomats think League of Na

. By Saymood Olappor
(United Press staff cosresnondent)
Washington, Dee. 3 Turkey is ex
pected to invite the peace conference
to send an international commission to
that country to establish a sound gov
ernment, according to diplomats here
today.
She thus plans to "beat the allies
to it," and forestall the intention of
the entente to go iuto that plague spot
and start a cleanup.
Diplomats expect that a commission
from the league of nations if such is
created at the peace conference will
have the job of cleaning up Turkey.
'Attention, it was said, must bs cen
tered on:
1 Food, clothing, shelter. ;
2 Policing and extermination of out
law bands.
3 Financing the government. '
4 Development of economic enter
prises. ' :"
5 Education and general sanitation.
Fear is expressed in some diplomatic
quarters that the importance of Tur
key 10 nmire peace is in imager oi ue- j

in 1914, is a constant jrld danger.

By Robert J. Bender
Washington, Dec. 3. President Wil

ties today prior to embarking upon his
momentous task of peace delegate in
the Paris world session.
It was anticipated that he would
leave here late tonight for New York
sailing from there aboard tho Georgo

was a lingering possibility, however,
that his day's work would render it
impossible tor him to leave hero be

papers to dispose of and besides he had
a calendar of engagements through out
the day, including a cabinet session
this afternoon..

out credentials, collecting baggage and
performing the scores of labors that
such a journey, with so extensive a par
ty require.
The transport George-Washington,
on Which President Wilson sails, has
been fitted with a wireless telophone
so that in sn emergency the ship com
mander could communicate, with other
vessels of the convoy. "" ''..
This is merely an added precaution,
for normally communication would be
by wireless, by blinkers or y wig-wag.
Pennsylvania Will Convoy

I M SETTLE RA
ROAD QUE
Congress Is Favorable To President Wilson's Policy To Im
mediately Evolve Plan Of Railroad Control That Wi3 Elim
inate Evils That Existed When Government Took Lines.
But Congressmen Claim It Is Impossibility.
Washington, Dec. 3. Settlement of
the railroad problem at this session of
congress will be practically impossible
leaders of both houses declared today.
They based the assertion upon k hur
ried survey of the situation, following
President Wilson's request in his mes
sage that congress immediately evolve
a plan of -railroad control which will
eliminate evils that existed when the
government took the lines as a war
measure. ,
Senator Smith of South Carolina;
Underwood, Alabama; Cummins, Iowa;
and Representatives Esch and Sims
members of the interestate commerce
committees of the two houses, concur
rd in this view. They and practically
all other members of congress agreed
heartily with the president's assertion
that tho roads cannst be turned back
under pre-war conditions. As to the
degree of modification, the views rang
ed from complete government owner
ship und operation to slight changes in
existing laws.
, Have No Flan in Mind.
Senator Smith and Eepreseutative
Sims, chairmen of the two committees,
both stated they have no plan in mind
for attacking tho problem which the
president puts squarely up to congress.
Within a short time they will call meet
ings of their respective committees to
outline the speediest way of dealing
with the matter, in view of tho presi
deut's intimation that undue txty "by
congress will load him to turn the rail
roads back just as he took them.''

Claimed That Five Packing
Companies Have Absolute
" Control Of Country.
Washington, Doe. 3. Congressional
action to control the meat packers to
day promised to result from the federal
trade commission's charges of illegal
combination and price regulation! in
the trade.
A conference of senators, including
Kenyon, Iowa; and Borah, Idaho, will
be held soon- to outline some course
of action to correct tho evils the trade
commission's two reports declare exist.
The problem facing those who want ac
tion is how to retain tho unuutwited
utility of the meat industry machinery
without giving the firms mentioned by
the trade commission power to abso
lutely control meat supplies and pro
cesses. The flat charges that the packors
Armour, Swift, Morris, Cmlahy and
Wilson now erorcise this power
through a gigantic and close combina
tion is made by the commission in a
report submitted to Congress yesterday.
Trade Commission ' Evidence.
The trade commission's conclusions
as drawn from several hundred pages
of evidence are in the main:
The the five companies have divid
ed up the country for their operations
in such a way as to allow tiiem to ao
solutcly control both buying and sell
ing prices.
That the companies exchange confi
dential information.
That the companies act collusively in
buving nnd selling.
That Swift, Armour, Wilson end
Morris have combined to control the
South American cattle market.
That all contribute t0 a joint fund
to swing public opinion.
The "black book" , figures promi
nently in the report. This book con
tains the notes (of various packers'
meetings and was the property of Ot-r-mon
S. Sulzberger of Sulzberger and
.Sons, the report states.
One of the practices of tho packers
to control prices of cattle, tho report
said, was to wire ahead when a sUl t
was nlir satisfied with tho piico origi
nally offered by one packer and was i i
his way U another. When the seih
reached the second liuyr he wag i.-'i
fered tho price quoted at his first stop.
