Daniels Replies to
Charges that Navy
Is Poorly Equipped
WASHINGTON-. Dec . What officials
regard as popular exaggeration of ad
mitted defects in the American navy's
torpedo equlppment was the subject of a
statement Issued tonight by Socretary
Daniels embodying a special report from
Bear Admiral Strauss, chief of the bureau
ef ordnance.
Specifically, the statement was prepared
to prove misleading a declaration that,
Of long range torpedoes there are only
fifty-eight In the navy," quoted from a
speech by Representative Gardner of
Massachusetts, who Is urging the admin
istration to support his resolution for an
Investigation of the nation's military pre
paredness.
While the recentr discussion of the sub
Ject has dealt only with the equipment
of battleships and cruissrs, Admiral
Btrausi took occasion to point out that
long range torpedoes are neither required
nor desired for submarines. He recalled
that the British armored cruisers
Abouklr, Cressy knd Hogue were tor
pedoed and destroyed by a 'German sub
marine at a range of BOO yards.
"This statement standing by Itself is
calculated to leave a false Impression,"
said Mr. Daniels. "In view of repeated
statements that the navy haa only fifty
eight long range torpedoes, the chief of
the bureau of ordnance has been asked to
furnish a statement concerning the tor
pedo situation."

Three boys, playing lsst evening along
tha Milwaukee railway tracks in me
vicinltv nf Twentv-nlnth avenue, found
bo containing a largo quantity of new
harness In complete seta. They reported
the matter to the police headquarters and
an InvestlK-atinn disclosed the operation
of car looters. A Wabash merchsndlse
car had been broken and the etuff carried
away and hidden where the prying young
atera found It. further Investigation
showed the loot was part of a shipment
of harness from the J. II. Haney com-
pnny of Omaha to W. A. Coteo ai College

stuff had been taken was not disclosed.
Although the route to the federal prisons
and the state penitentiaries haa bsen kept

a new crop continually springs up. A car

Present One Jest for flake
ef Pence.
With ten applicants seeking appoint
ment as postmaster at Council liluits.
and with the decision as to who shsll re
ceive It resting almost entirely upon 3. J.
Hughes, mrmlirr of the democratic state
central committee for the Ninth congres
sional district, the position of Mr. Hughes
for the last few months has not been elto-
a.lhrr enviable. In fart. It haa been
somewhat strained and embarrassing,
since the appointment of any one of the
ten would Inaplre some unpleasant
thoughts In the minds of the other nine
The political friends and advisers of
Mr. Hughes have urged to cut the gordlan
knot by taking the office himself. Tes-
terday he announced that he had decided
to follow this advice and would send in
the whole bunch ot names with Ms own
added, and let President Wilson and the
Iowa democratic delegation In congress
settle the problem. It Is admitted that
this action carries with It the solution
and that Mr. Hughes will himseir reoeive
the appointment and will be postmaster
at Council Bluffs for the next four years,
Kev Party llermeey.
It la due to Mr. Hughe's to state post
tlvetv that this situation has not oeen
hmnihi ahnut bv inv act of his or Is
desired bv him. It Is required In a mess
ure to preeeve party harmony, It will
be acceptable to all of tho other aspirants

the reason that If rewards can be earned
tor narty fealty and efficient service Mr,
Hushes Is entitled to the plum. Every
one of the other aspirants hns told him
that If he would take it there would be no
oh lection. Inaulry by the political powers
above Mr. Hughes disclosed the trutn or
theee declarations snd ha helped to bring
about tha solution.
It will be something of a financial sacri
fice for Mr. Hughes to take the office
The salary Is only about W.309 a year,
and In his private business his net Income
for the laat few years has averaged more
than $0,000 a year. A large part of this
business may have to be sacrificed, but
cert harmony will be preserved.
Among the applicant for the position
have been former Mayor Kohrer. former
uivm Malonev. Mack Goodwin, Fred
Johnson, present assistant postmaster;
W allace Benjamin and George Tlnley. la
the original arrangement, plannsd more
than a year ago, Mr. Tlnley was the fa
vored candidate, and If there had been
no break due to election returns, he would
undoubtedly have been appointed. There
were other candidates, but they were not
seriously considered. It Is probable that
considerable pressure may be brought
upon the preaident to secure the appoint
ment ot soma of the other candidates, but
It Is believed that It will hates no effect.

Horticulturists to
Meet at Atlantic
saswawanasssas
Atlantic treated the members of the
Southwestern Iowa Horticultural society
so well at the annual meeting that closed
there yesterday that a unanimous vote
of acceptance followed the Invitation to
meet there again next year.
It was the first time that Atlantic has
entertained the horticulturists and the
effort was so successful that the mem
bers oould not refuse the request for an
other opportunity. The meetings of the
society ' have almost always been held
at Council Bluffs, where It is reason
able to expect a larger attendance, but
the people of Atlantic took a much
greater Interest than did the cltlsens of
Council Bluffs. Ths Council Bluffs
delegation consequently did not have an
unanswerable argument to sustain tha
Invitation to return the annual meetings
here.
The number of exhibitors was also
fully as large as at any of the meet
ings held here. The best the Council
Bluffs men could do was to take 'about
all ef the first prises offered by the
society for best displays of fruits. The
exhibit was about the flneat the society
has ever had, the meeting In every
respect was one of tha most successful.
This fact was freely admitted by J. P.
Hess, W. 6. Keellne and others who re
turned from Atlantic yesterdsy.
These new officers were elected for
the year:
President M. J. Worth, Mondsmln.
Vice President I. N. Brown, Atlantic.
Treasurer J. P. Hess. Council Hlurfs.
Secretary a. H. van Houten, Lenox.
The secretary and treasurer were re
elected. The board of directors selected
are: K. P. Bnencer of Kandolph. C. H.
Deur of Missouri Vslley, Hoy Fanrollv
of Atlantic, M. J. Wragg of Dee Moines
and A. 8. Collman of Corning.

exception of the widow's Interest of one
sixteenth la subject to the state s grab
of I per cent.
The work of the appraisers was greatly
simplified by the methodical manner
In which the aged man settled up his
business when he realised that his life
was soon to reach Its close. He had pre
pared, most carefully snd accurately, s
complete Inventory of all of hie prop
erty, farms, city and town property,
notes, mortgages, unpaid rental obliga
tions and all forms of moneys snd
credits. Including bank stock snl cash In

slngulariy accurate, and when the exec
utor of the will came to file the in
ventory he filed the dooument prepared
by Mr. Butler. The appraisement (lied
yesterday Incorporate a large part of It.
Mr. Butler was 13 years old when he
died. The Inventory shows twelve farms
locsted in Pottawattumlo - county and
others In Mills snd Fremont counties.
He also had (30,000 worth of residence
property In Council Bluffs which he had
acquired In the last two years. All is
well located snd profitable. At 82 years

By the terms of hie wilt he divided his
estate evenly between h's widow, his
brother an! two sisters and their rhll
men, aggregating fifteen heirs. The
widow thus gets one-sixteenth In addl
lion to more than 14,000 duo under
the terms of the marriage contract. Her
share In the estate will amount to about
ij,wo, upon whicn no collateral In
heritance tax will be demanded; on all

CHICAGO. Iec. 4. In spite of ths lion
monthly payment for police oroteetlon,
Frank Ryan, alleged head of a "clair
voyant ring" that operated In Chicago
until recently, received from rVTO to
as.ono g month as his share of the
swindling operations, he told Maris y
Hoyne, states atorney, in a written con- '
fesslon made public tonight.
n adlltlon to the regular monthly po
lice payments, Ryan said he paid sn
average of f.H to 1 100 weekly to help
buy flowers for some patralman who
had lost a member ot his family. He
also said It took a neat sum to entertain
properly the out-of-town policemen, who
frequently came with warrants for mem
bers ot the clairvoyant's squad.
Ill of Taaerreteals.
Ryan was captured In Detroit a few
weeks ago. He Is very 111 of tuberculosis
and his confession was made. Hoyne
said, on the promise that It would keen
him from dying In the penitentiary. It
was partly on the strength of Ryan's
confession, sccordlng to the state's at
torney, that Hoyne offered Csptaln
Hatpin, former chief of detectives, and
a score of his men, a chance to resign.
Ryan paid hie protection money, he
said, through Harney Bertsche, a ward
politician, recently shot In a down town
revolver fight with two detectives.
"When I first csme to Chlcsgi In Mil.
I paid 1 100 a month for police protec
tion." he said. "For my enl I usually
gut from $3,000 to 6.fl monthly. Once
I cleaned up l.'K.OOO In three months."
French Quit Weather.
Reports to Hamper
GermanZeppelins
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
THE HAGUE, Nov. IS. -It la because
the German Zeppelin aircraft seldom, If
ever, undertake extensive operations un
less favorable weather conditions are
promised that the French military au
thorities Issued their recent order forbid
ding the publication of weather forecasts.
Abbe Moreux, director ot the weather
bureau, has explslned how the cutting off
of these reports will affect German cal
culations. He says that the order Is no
mere whim of the French censor, but Is
designed to bear vitally upon the much
feared Zeppelin raid on England.
It la clear." the abbe states, "that the
desperate efforts of the Germans to
reach the Frenrh coast between Dunkirk
and Calais are prompted by the Intention
to attack England with Zeppelins. A
dirigible balloon from Antwerp could go
the distance of V0 kilometers (shout 10
miles) to London, bombard the olty and
return to Its base In less than ten hours.
Huch a trip, however, would have to be
made tinder .very favorable weather conditions."
Abbe Moreux explains that la order to
work out their weather predictions the
Germans would require about sixty re
ports, which in normal times sppear at a
certain hour in the principal European
cities. The most Important weather sta
tions ere along the channel coasts, so
that if Frsnce and England send no re
ports the others are practically valueless.
So, he concludes, the Germans will be un
able to make their calculations, and Will
have to run the risk of their huge Zep
pelins being wrecked by a sudden storm
along the channel If they undertake a
raid on England.
