Washington, Jan. 16.—Declaring
that the greatest handicap of the
American navy was the (lack of con-
structive criticism and the fact that
naval officers were refused permis-
sion to publish any matter without
first submitting it to the navy depart-
ment. Rear Admiral Sims today told
the senate committee investigating
naval decorations, that his criticism
of awards was a plain duty, “it did
not involve insubordinaton," he said,
nor was there any intention to make
League of Nations, met in the cloak
room of the French foreign office at
10 o’clock today for the first meeting
in the history of the League.
The Council of the League of Na-
tions received the first formal protest
to be brought before it almost before
it came Into being today. The pro-
test was from the envoys of the elect-
ed government of the Irish republic
ol 0187,475,918 over the assessed val-
ues of 1918, according to a summary of
poll tax rolls in the office of the state
comptroller. Assessments upon which
taxes will be collected this year to-
tal $3,200,295,2p5.
Land is the item showing the great-
est value, and the largest increase al-
so came in land, of which 167,336,544
acres were assessed at $1,291,098,-
against the “unreal English slmular1471. This was an increase of 1,902,-
of an international league of peace." 320 acres valued at $102,703,669. A
The protest insisted that the League
was illusory and incomplete. lacking
authority and sanction, and declared
that the United States stood out in
indignation and repudiation of it.

London, Jan. 16.—The attention of
the British people today was on the
Near East, where the recent Bolshe-
vik! successes have carried the fled
Russian armies almost to the thresh-
hold of India, Persia, Mesopotamia
and Asiatic Turkey.

PUPILS BECOME OWN
TEACHERS IN CHICAGO

Chicago. III., Jan. 16.—Pupils in the
primary grades of Chicago public
schools today became their own teach-
ers when 5,000 chilren were deprived
of their regular instructors by a short-
age of teachers. The teacher short-
age was due to the small salaries paid,
the superintendent of schoolsf said.
Los Angeles, Jan. 16.—Harry New
was fountl guilty today ot second-de-
gree murder in connection with lira
shooting and killing of his fiancee,
Freda Lesser, in Topango canyon near
here the night of July 4, last. A jury
in Superior Judge Craig’s court re-
turned the verdict after it had been
deadlocked almost forty-four Hours
and alter both sides virtually had giv-
en up hope of an agreement. Coupled
considerable portion of this increase
may be accounted for by the fact that
all state lands, when sold to individ-
uals, become immediately subect to
taxation, and considerable land was
sold between the two assessments.
Assessments of town lots show a
considerable growth of Texas cities,
if the increase does not happen to be
due to unusual activity of assessors
in 1919, for their value increased $29,-
180,023 and reached $751,798,343.
Horses and mules numbering 1840,-
518 were assessed at $81,102,674, an
increase of 145,721 in numbers and
$2,264,768 in value.
Scarcity of foodstuffs and high
prices are reflected in the cattle as-
sessment, which shows a decrease of
259,945 in number but an increase of
$5,656,510 in value. The protracted
with Ihe verdict was a recommenda-
alion (hat the court order the defend- j(jIouth which gripped the cattle c-nun-
ont placed in an institution lor a “rea- try for three years may al30 Uave

Paris, Jan. 16.—The settlement ot
(lie Adriatic question now lies ex-
clusively with the Jugo Slavs, Prem-
ier Nitti of Italy informed the Associ-
ated Press last night as the agreement
which was sent to Belgrade for appro-
val yesterday shows that France Great
Britain and Italy are in complete ac-
cord. It has been communicated to
Washington where it is hoped it will
receive favorable indorsement.
Referring to the text of the compro-
mise, Premier Nitti said that Italy of-
fered to leave the port of Fiume and
ttie railways at Sussak under control
of the league of natfons.
“The city itself,” added the premier,
“is absolutely Italian in its nature."
In the opinion of Signor Nitti the
importance of the Adriatic question
had been much exaggerated in Ameri-
ca. He was optimistic that a settle-
ment was near and did not fear in-
terference from the United States.
“My relations with President Wil-
son,” he said, “always have been very
friendly. America desires peace as
much as the other nations.”

Paris, Jan. 16.—The supreme coun-
cil lias drafted a note to the Dutch
government asking tor the extradition
of the former German emperor.
It probably will be sent Saturday.
The note refers to article 227 of the
treaty of Versailles and invited Hol-
land to join the allied powers in the
accomplishment of this act.
Article 227 of the treaty of peace
with Germany declares:
“The allied and associated powers
publicly arraign William II. of Hohen-
zollern, formerly German emperor, for
a supreme offense against internation-
al morality and the sanctity of trea-
ties.
"A special triubunal will be consti-
tuted^ try the accused, thereby as-
suring him the guarantees essential to
the rights of defense. It will be com-
posed of live judges, oqe appointed by
each of the following powers, namely
the United States of Americaj Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan.”
The article also declares that it
would be the duty of the tribunal to
fix tbe punishment which It considers
I should be imposed.
