Unrtit In Academy.
Ftcue of the unrest anion the
2.272 men at Annapoli. Admiral
Wilson declared a ipeedy drckion
ought to be mad', while Admiral
Washington. looking to the future,
asserted that the need for the serv
ice of the midshipmen would be far
greater 10 years hence than now.
White conflicting view were ex
pressed as to what the naval com
mittee might recommend, questions
at the bearing indicated a growing
kentimcnt in favor of commissioning
the first cla.u and retiring at least
an equal number of older men in the
service, many of whom have reached
the age pf retirement and are report
ed to be anxious to Rt out.
The naval appropriation bill would
be reported to the house, according
to the present exDectations. by the
end of the month. Until tlie bill is
presented, the midshipmen will not
know their status definitely.
Discuss Cut in Allotment
Admiral Wilson pleaded earnestly
for every man at the academy and
esoeciallv for the first class, standing
quarely with Secretary Denby who
urged that the entire June class ne
commissioned. The question as' to
the number to be admitted each year
in the future was discussed at some
length. Representative McArthur,
republican, Oregon, declared for a
oO per cent reduction or a cut in the
congressional allotment from S to 2.
President Harding, at a conference
last week with republican members
of the committee, is said to have
recommended this number.
Reminded that the question of
commissioning the graduating class
would come up again next year. Ad
miral Wilson insisted congress could
cross 1 that bridge when it was
reached, adding that in a "year every
body might be hollering for the
navy."

(f sotlnaod From F One.)
fuel and capital ships of both fleets
to a maximum of five davs steaming
per month. To keep within the de
ficiency limit indicated by the ap
propriations committee today, it is
said lo be obvious that even this
steaming allowance must be sus
pended and every ship from battle
ships and destroyers to naval trans
ports and tugs, be kept idle at an
chor or at the dock with only sut
ficient steam in the boiler to pro
vide fire protection, lights, heating
and other vital necessities of ship
life.
Training of the navy for war serv
ice cannot be conducted tinder such
circumstances, officers declared, and
the department is understood to be
awaiting the final action of congress
on the fuel defiency with great anx
iety. Mr. Denby told the committee m
Tegard to the deficiency estimates that
naval efficiency rested on four inter
dependent elements. These, he said,
were efficiency of personnel, gun
nery, steaming ability of the individ
ual ships and fleet training, or the
ability of the fleet as a whole to op
erate. Testa Already Abandoned.
In view of the urgent necessity for
government economy, however, the
department already has reduced fleet
operating training and .abandoned
engineering tests when its estimates
of $12,000,000 as the probable fuel
deficiency was presented.
It is hoped by the naval officials
that the situation, which must re
sult if not more than $6,000,000 is
allowed, will be recognized by con
gress before final action on this
item is taken.
Chairman Madden of the house
appropriations committee, called at
the White House late today, but
declined to discuss his talk with the
president. He said on leaving, that
he believed the committee would go
ahead with its program and hold to
the fuel appropriation as reported.
The navy during the war, he added,
when oil was much higher than it i3
now, used $2,500,000 a month for
this fuel and now it still demands the
same figure.
Canady to Make Race for

Hastings, Neb., March 1. (Special

have come to the middle west and to
the areas that are far from any bene
fits of water competition and they
have made us pay for our own
funeral."
He spoke feelingly of the "tragedy
of transportation," as it grips the
middle west, and said that if any
thing could be done that would
bring the middle west 1,200 miles
nearer the Atlantic ocean, it should
be done. He disavowed any inten
tion to injure New York, remark
nig that "if the seacoast is a good
thing for New York, we would like
to have it also."
Governor Allen said that the mid
dle west was producing foodstuffs
upon the longest rail radius in the
history of the world. The compet
ing countries he said that produce
wheat produce it upon a radius of
250 to 300 miles while the people in
the section from which he comes
produce wheat on a rail radius of
1,200 to 1,400 miles.
. ''Now there comes the simple pro
posal that we may get nearer the
coast and all of the engineers that
have investigated the situation have
said it was feasible, that it is practi
cal and the commission appointed by
congress to make a scientific investi
gation of the theory says it is prac
tical, and if they say it is practical
that ought to settle it."
Cheaper Than Suez Canal.
Governor Allen created loud laugh
ter when he said that if the good
Lord had cut a channel across Cana
da leading into the Great Lakes the
Nonpartisan leaguers of North Da
kota would now be supported by the
longshoremen of Duluth. He said
the St. Lawrence river was less tor
tuous than the Suez canal and could
be made navigable at less expense
than it cost to construct the Suez
canal.
Somewhere it had been said, Gov
ernor Allen remarked, that Montreal
would be the chief gainer if the pro
posed waterway was built.
"Montreal is very lukewarm toward
this project," he said. "Montreal
knows that Chicago and' the other
lake ports will be the chief gainers of
this enterprise. Montreal knows that
the great productive areas of these
18 midwestern states are going to be
the chief gainers of the enterprise. !
Montreal knows that we are not
seeking to build this canal just for i
tne pleasure ot sailing by Montreal
with our cargo loaded at the home
ports."
"People say we ought not t go
into partnership with Canada. Why
not?" the Kansas asked. "When, for
all the years that have seen the two
nations living side by side, a thing
that does not exist anywhere else
on the face of the earth, all the 4,000
miles of border between two great
lands and not a shot has ever been
fired across them, not a fortress ex
ists, not a need exists anywhere along
those borders except for the new
revenue officers put there by the Vol
stead act."
Discusses Power Phases.
He discussed the phases relating
to the development of the hydro
electric power and its distribution
by the government and the state of
New York, and said he was not
afraid of "graft," which Governor
Miller had referred to in a speech in
Buffalo against the project He
closed by saying "we need this add
ed arm of transportation that the
tragedy of transportation "may be
lifted from us of the middle west."
Governor Miller of New York,
who had an hour in which to replay
was enthusiastically received by the
delegates from New "York and New
England when he paid his compli
ments to Governor Allen, Mr. Her
riek and ex-Congressman Small,
who was the timekeeper, the judge
and the referee of the- debate.
"The project before us," said Gov
ernor Miller, "is a great national un
dertaking and I have come here to
discuss it, not as a citizen of New
York, but as a citizen of the United
States. Governor Allen wants to
know whether we are opposed to
this because we think it will not
work or because we fear it wilL I
do not wish him to remain longer
in doubt as to the attitude of the
state from which I come, although I
am not here to speak for that state.
If there is any reasonable assurance
that this tragedy which the gover
nor says has been resting upon the
middle west can be removed, if there
is any reasonable assurance that the
Atlantic ocean can be extended 2.000
miles into the interior of this country,
then the state of New York will
heartily support this project."
Facts Dissipate Dream.
He said that there was a tremend
ous appeal to the imagination which
the project of extending the Atlan
tic ocean 2,000 miles inland makes,
but cold hard facts dissipated the
dream, as no reliable body of en
gineers had ever reported on the
sounding in the St. Lawrence, the
cost of icebreakers in the river and
other essential things, a set of stock
holders, who are the people of the
United States, ought to know.
Throughout, Governor Miller was
emphatic in his opposition and un
compromising in his belief that- the
project was Utopian in character.
Governor Allen had 15 minutes in
rebuttal and Governor Miller seven
minutes to conclude the debate,
which to say the leas was both in
structive and illuminating.
R. B. Howell, Congressman Jef
fcris and F. J. Coad were present
throughout the debate as delegates
from Omaha, Messrs. Howell and
Coad having arrived in Washington
this morning.
Congressman Kinkaid was also in
the audience, which seemed to be
stow its favor impartially upon the.
speakers, although the New York
contingent seemed to be better train
ed in applause than the delegates
from the middle west. j

in the state and was the first which
used convict labor.
Convict Labor Troubles.
"Before we can get convicts to
work on the roads we must sign a
contract with the state board of con
trol relieving it of all responsibility
and expense while they are on the
roads," Johnson said. "It happened
a bunch of these convicts escaped
and we had to pay expenses of War
den Fcnlon in going to Denver after
one and of other officers entering
into the chase. There are a number
of other items which in our infancy
in road building at the time and at
the request of Johnson county offi
cials which added to the cost which
hope the committee will permit
me to prepare and present."
The Lancaster county commission
ers today adopted resolutions speak
ing of the remarkable work done by
the state department in building
roads in this county and the hne
co-operation which existed between
state and county road officials.
Complaints of the Sherman coun
ty board will be heard tomorrow.
At noon Governor McKelvie an
nounced that there would be "no
more rough stuff" such as occurred
in the morning- when Johnson and
Paul Weaver of Richardson county
indulged in personalities.
Refutes Bidding Charges.
Johnson put witnesses on the
stand to refute charges there was
not competition in bidding. Wit
nesses testified that from 20 to 40
contractors were present at every
meeting.
Herman Gunther, of the firm of
Peterson, Shirley & Gunther, con
tractors, Omaha, testified that his
firm took about 25 state and federal
aid road building contracts at a gross
profit of 2 to IS cents per yard and
that most of this work was subcon
tracted. His firm, he said, found much bet
ter profit in building railroads. He
declared that subcontractors owe his
firm today $191,527.
Nebraska Costs Lower.
R. D. Shirley, another Omaha con
tractor, presented figures to show
that Nebraska road building has cost
less than the same kind of work in
other states.
G. W. Duerdorf, a Richardson
county commissioner, admitted un
der examination by Attorney General
Davis, that the present method of
keeping the road building funds in
his county is unlawful, and promised
that it will be kept in accordance
with the law in the future.
Paul Weaver declared that state
built roads are incomparably better
than county built roads. The grades
and construction are vastly superior
on the state-constructed roads, he
said.

Railways' 6 Per Cent
Return Bill Expires
Washington, March l.-lwo im
portant changes in government pol
icy toward the nation s railroads be
came effective today.
The section of the transportation
act fixing 6 per cnt as the return on
railroad properties which railroads
are entitled to cam under interstate
commerce commission regulations,
expired today. Also with today there
expires the period during which rail
roads which were controlled by the
government during the war are cn
title'd to ask government loans to aid
them in continuing operations after
return to nrivate management.
The 6 per cent clause, generally
called the guarantee provision, is su
perseded today by the transportation
act provisions which hereafter require
the interstate commerce commission
to make rates that will give railroads
"a reasonable return on the value of
property used in transportation. The
commission is expected therefore to
define for itself what earnings con
stitute reasonable return. Ihis has
already been taken up formally by
the commission for the purpose of
securing arguments from railroads
and interested parties to proceedings
before it in relation to rate regula

the "irreconcilables" predicted that
at least seven and probably more
who voted for the Yap treaty or

four-power pact.
Most of their accessions; the "ir
reconcilables"' leaders expect to re
cruit from the ranks of the demo
crats, many of whom have not yet
definitely committed themselves re
garding the four-power treaty. In
this connection they pointed out that
Senator Underwood had failed to
hold a majority of his colleagues in
line for thp Yao treaty, while the
bloc regarded as followers of former
President Wilson, had voted almost
solidly against ratification. Of the
four democratic absentees, it was
declared by democratic managers, on
the other hand, that three would
have favored ratification which would
have given Mr. Underwood a fol
lowing of 16 out of the democratic
senate membership out of .50, or
enough to block any effort to defeat
ratification with democratic votes.

Rail Rate Ruling Is
Explained by Browne
Lincoln. March 1. (Special Tele
gram.) The impression that the su
preme court oMhe United States in
its recent decision in the Wisconsin
rase has eliminated the states,
through their legislatures and com
missions, as railroad ratc-makiner
bodies is not well founded, according
to Thornc A. Browne, state railway
commissioner.
"What the supreme court did find
was that congress has the power to
seriously invade the police powers of
the state over railroad rates whenever
it wants to do so, and that its action
in passing the federal transportation
act was legal, Browne said.
"The supreme court is apparently
willing to recognize that congress
can do about as it will with railroad
regulation, but the chief point is that
congress has not eliminated state
regulation.
