“He desires to destroy all if he cannot

today in a statement made in the Can-

Parliament at London, and made pub-

absence of the British Ambassador he
will take full charge of all British

was intended as a “trial marriage”

Children, if any, should bear the
paternal name until they reach the
years of discretion, when they can
make their own choice; the wife re-

that a showing of oil had been en-

The Miller-Hogan well was shut
down yesterday afternoon pending a

A large sign on the derrick greeted
Marshall visitors to the well Sunday,

Washington, May 10.—Secretary
Daniels launched a vigorous counter
offensive against Rear Admiral Sims
today when he appeared before the
Senate investigating committee to
answer charges made by the officer
against the Navy Department’s con-
duct of the war. Sweeping criticism
of Admiral Sims occupied most of
the day, which was devoted to reading
a carefully prepared statement. His
attack came as a preface to the Sims
charge of failure and lack of co-op-
eration. and he unsparingly arraigned
the Admiral for "pro-British idiosyn-
crasies.” violation of naval regula-
tion and criticism of the “self sacrific-
ing and the successful efforts of his
fallow officers.”
So far as he dealt today with Ad-
miral Sims’ charges that delay by the
Department had prolonged the war.
Secretary Daniels declared the navy’s
war record stood "untounced today and
for all time regardless of criticisms
from within or without.”

Washington, May 10.—Republican
members of the House Ways and

means of raising the necessary funds.
Other tax provisions of the bill would
be extended over three years under
the agreement.
Under the new bill compensation
for home services is reduced from $1-
M to *1 for each day of service, while
payments for foreign service remain-
sd at $1.25 a day.
cessive. As between the Republicans
and Democratic millionaires Senator
Smoot declared that latter could raise
more money.
“I have no doubt that millionaires
in New York who are aiding Mr Mc-
Adoo's campaign—Leonard M. Baruch
and Thomas M. Chadburn—could
raise *10 to the Republican *1,” he
said. “I have not any doubt but that
both parties will use a great deal of
money this year, but the Democratic
party will be in better position to re-
quest, if not demand, money.”

Washington, May 10.—President
Wilson’s call to the Democratic party
to carry the treaty ratification issue
into the campaign brought expressions
today from two members of his own
party, William J. Bryan and Senator
Reed, of Missouri, and also from Sen-
ator Johnson of California, leader of
the Republican irreconcilable group in
the Senate treaty battle.
Senator Reed in a statement declar-
ed that such a platform would mean
for the Democrats the loss of every
state north of the Mason and Dixon
line and the breaking of the “solid
south.” Senator Johnson also in a
statement said he could respect the
President’s consistent advocacy of un-
reserved ratification, but had no re-
spect for men whose views shifter
“with the varying popular wind.”
Mr. Bryan at his home in Florida
reaffirmed his declaration for immed-
iate ratification by joint action of Re-
l publicans and Democratic friends “in
i order to take the issue out of the cam-
' paign."
“The President’s demand that the
treaty shall be accepted exactly as he
brought it from Versailles is the fin-
est scheme of premediated political
suicide yet divised.” Senator Reed
