fifivefi in his honor here tonight by
The Civic' Forum, declared that ."the

"his distinguished public service"
Mr1. Hoovtr was presented with the
Civic rForuni Medal of Honor, with
which' only three other American
citizens have been honored Alex
ander Graham Bell, Thomas Alva
Kdisoi'i and George "Washington
Goethals. '
In accepting the medal, Mr,
Hoover said that he only did so
tin the condition that the recogni
tion include his colleagues and the
thousands of men and women of
America ("who, gave me their sup
port in my undertakings."
It was only the "common sense"
and f hole-hearted co-operation ot
i he Anierican people thatjiad made
his relief Vork in Europe a suc
cess, Mr. Hoover declared.
. "I believe Jhis quality of co-operation
will continue," he added, "al
though 'we are faced by another
comntex problem.
"We are in spme danger that sel
fishness and partisanship will over-
' whelm our sense of duty to the
greatlst number."
' Notable Gift of Books.
In (relating Mr. Hoover's achieve

"As a result of this genetous ben
cfactfon," he added, "the history
of the great war will "be written in
this country and hither for gener
ations" will come sfudents-of the
subject from alLparts of the globe."
Mr. Hughes, in making the pres
entation said that "as America has
no military or naval honors or gov
ernmental recognition to be'stow on
Mr. Hopver we are seeking to give
expression to the thought of the
people of America and without pref
erence to class, without regard to
party.or to politics, we are gath
ered m the Ipublic interest to honor
a great civilian ero of thej world
war." . ' .
Mr. Hughbs reviewed Mr. Hoov
er's relief work in Belgium, declar
ing that "it was conducted not only
w ithout reproach, . but with such
efficiency that it challenged the ad-
Fearless and Adequate.
."Hoover, as administrator of re
lief," ." he continued, "was at once
- financier, diplomat and statesman.
."He came into contact with the gov
ernments of the allies and with the
despotism of the, central powers. He
wasjeady, equipped, firm, fearless
SM 'adequate. ,v ''
"The Americanism of Hoover is
shown in evey deed, in every utter
ance.' His achievements dignified
(he nation and established prestige
for the American name abroad
which none of the failures of diplo
macy" can. obscure. He bears a
.name untarnished,' expressive not
only of exceptional ability, but of
the siftiple life of a modest citizen."

OPINIONS DIFFER
ON ADVISABILITY

Senate Committee Hears Argu
ments Pro and Con, But '
Reaches No Decision.
Washington, Feb. 18. Conflicting
opinions as to the advisability of
the immediate sale of the 30 former
German passenger liners recently
offered, by the shipping board were
presented to the senate commerce
committee today by members of the
board.
Chairman Payne told the commit
tee that the conditioning of the ves
sels for passenger service would in
volve an expenditure of more than
$75,000,000 and fferfd a resolution
approved by three, of the four mem
bers of the board requesting au
thority to put the ships on the mar
ket All bids recently received for
the purchase of the liners have been
rejected, he stated;.
Vice Chairman Stevens of the
board, onthe other hand stated that
the vessels should not be sold atvthis
time as their true valuation had
never been worked out. "He urged
that the vessels be'recphditioned be
fore their sile. " Estimates of the
value of the vessels' received by the
board, "he said, had been made with
a depreciation charge of 5 per ceut
while only 2 1-2 per cent should be
thus charged off. He .placed the
value of the fleet at nearly $75,000.
000. , Opposing the immediate sale of
the liners, because of the uncer
tainty as to their valuation, Mr
Stevens said the public was entitled
to know whether the fleet was being
offered at fair prices.
It would .be a "tremendous mis
take" for the'United States to sell
its war built cargo ships for $100 a
deadweight ton," Wallace Downey,
head of a New .York shipyard, told
the senate commerce committee.
The mst of constructing similar
steel tonnage today he estimated at J
$163 a ton.

President Victim
j)lFit of Temper
t In Lansings Case
. i
(Continued From Firht I'e.)
which, wheu pieced together ami an
alyzed in the light of the Wilson
mood and temperament, cannot but
result m illuminating conclusions.
I'or instance,, did Secretary Lans
ing call the first cabinet meeting
afte President Wilson took" sick?
He admits he did, but at' least one
of the calls for a cabinet meeting
I think it was the first went out
through the' medium ol the White
House offices, and officials there
could have, stopped it by notifying
the president of what was happen
ing. They did nothing of the kind.
An Act of Friends. .
What was the atjnosphere and sit
uation when the first cabinet meet-
ing was called? Congress was rest-!e:-s.
Political enemies of the . pres
ident were ,circulating stories that
he was mentally unable to fulfill the
duties of the presidency and were
talking aboxit constitutional methods
of getting a successor. Newspapers
were clamoring - to knbw how the
government was functioning, tf at
all. Members of the cabinet thought
it was up to them to. do something
to quit public alarm, xjtf was the
political a ltd loyal side erf the Wil-,
soa.,following trying' to meet public
criticism in an' awkward situation.
The (president's friends did, not
knftw how sick lie was. They knew
only that he needed rest and free
dom' from-'worry. If they fcould only
give the appearance of uninter
rupted government, they fe-lt they
would be doing him a service. So
the first cabinet meeting was held.
It is true Dr. Grayson came there
as the emissary of the president and
made it clear that Mr. Wilson was
curious and therefore not altogether
pleased with what was happening.
He wanted it understood, that no ac
tion could be legally taken on a
question, which the president is au
tlrorized to act upon by law, unless
the president himself approved it.
1 he cabinet took that as a natural
limitation upon
them and . under-
stood perfectly
well what they
c'ould and could not do. But it was
decided for the sake of appearances
as well as for the, good that might
come out of interdepartmental con
ference and consultation to continue
the meetings. Several of them were
held White House officials pointed
to them as proof that trTe govern
ment was functioning and that all
was well witrPthe affairs of the re
public. A Bolt from, the Blue.
Suddenly out of a clear sky conies
a letter from President Wilson to
Secretary Lansing asking him if it
was true that cabinet- meetings had
been held. Nobody was more sur
prised than the secretary of state.
He had had some differences with
the president and had been intending-
to resign, but he never dreamed
that the basis of his retirement
would be the calling of cabinet
meetings which had been planned
as a service and not a dis-service.
But Mr. Lansing didn't ' play the
part of a little man. He took the
rebuke politely and made his exit.
He could have involved other men
in the Wilson administration who
had urged him to keep the cabinet
meetings going. He could have in
volved nearly everybody in the pres
ident's official family. But, since he
was made the goat, he accepted his
fate without a -whimper, trusting
that the public. might some day un
derstand. ...
Did the president really remain
una.ware until last week of the fact
that cabinet metings were being held
in the executive offices a few yards
from his own sick room? Circum
stantial evidence . would seem to
potnt to the absurdity of such a con
clusion. The newspapers printed
references to it again 'and again. 11
remember clearly that Attorney
General Palmer went to the White
House before a certain momentous
cabinet nTeeting on the coal strike
and, after a brief discussion with the
president, told the correspondents
later that the . government was be
hind him and- Mr. Wilson approved
of what had been done. The cor
respondents recall that Mr. Palmer
said something to them of having
informed the president of the cab
inet situation. But he may not have
gone into detail concerning meet
ings. The president may have got
ten the impression that the attorney
I general was consulting his col
leagues in an.imormai way.
Jealous of Position. ,
It is within the range of possi
bility that, - while : Mr. Wilson did
know abdut these conferences, did
read about them in the newspapers
and did regard them as infer-de-partihental
"consulatioiis' he may
have fallen back on fine distinctions
in the use of words and failed to re
gard thtiu as, -cabinet "meetings."
'or did he concern himself about
them' probably ' until someone told
him they were not informal get-together-functions,
but formal "sessions
and that at one of these sessions
the question was seriously raised
as to 'wheflier or not the Cabinet
should ask the lice president to
come and take tthe place pf the
president. Maybe Mr. Wiilson didn't
learn of the latter fapt till last week.
Gossip like that doesn't always trav
el fast but, when it did reach Mr.
Wilson, he gave vent to a pentup
dissatisfaction with Mr. Lansing's
view's1 on the peace treaty and a deep
resentment at what he considered a
de.sire to depose the president otthe
United States.
, Personally, I rfefer for the pres
ent to "believe that the president was,
for the most part, kept in jgnorance
of what had been goiiljj o"u around
.him and that thqse of his friends
who have endeavored to treate the
impression that he did know, what
was happening in the outside-world
said so merely as a political strata
gem, one of those unfortunate
phases of political life in America,
which, regards sincerity and frank
ness as secondary to the machiavel
lian philosophy that in politics the
end justifies the means. Every
president has an outer armor which
protects him from accusations and
'at' the 'same tijiie safeguards him
against mistakes. The tragedy of
the president's fit of temper is that
this time nobody dared to- say him
nay, nobody let him in on the fact
that the ountry had been accepting
tli cabinet meetings as of his sanc
tion. . ,

. Committeemen.

Omaha lire.
M ilHhinglon orresMndfnt
Washington, IJeb. 18. (Special
Tttlegram.) The representatives of
the Omaha Grain Exchange, W. J.
.A. Lindei holm, E. P. Peck and S. S.
Carlisle, who have been in Washt
ington -since Monday attending the
hearings on, the Gronna bill provid
ing for the dissolution of the United
States Grain corporation and therre
peal of the government guarantee
on wheat, left for Omaha Wednes
day, having left their case onx the
presentation of their objections to
the bill in the form of a brief which
was signed by the grain exchanges
of Qmaha, Kansas City, St. Joseph,
St;. Louis; Chicago, Minneapolis,
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Milwaukee
and New York. Mr. Linderholm,
who assisted in the preparation of
the brief, signed the same for tlje
Omaha Grain Exchange.
This brief contends that the whole
industrial and financial structure of
the country would be shaken by the
passage of the bill, because banks
which sold papcr based on wjieat
values would call loans When the
price of wheat dropped, and that
this would ruin banks, wheat milling
and allied industries. '
Senator Starts Wrangle.
In the progress of the hearing
Senator Gronna became incensed
with John G. McHugh, secretary fii
the Minneapolis Grain exchange, be
cause the latter disputed Senator
Gronna's assertions as io the
amount of surplus wheat in ' the
country. Senator Gronna said he
would J"bet a month's salary his
figures were right."
When McHugh replied that the
Chamber of Commerce did not gam
ble, Senator Gronna retorted: "The
Minoeapolis chamber for 2.i years
has been the greatest gambling den
in the country and is responsible for
the organization of the Nonpartisan
league in the west and northwest.
The bitter assaults mad? on the
legislatioij by witnesses at the hear
ing have disturbed the confidence of
the committee that it should be
passed and one of the members
stated that the bill might be with
drawn from the senate, to which it
has been reported. Members of the
hrfuse committee on agriculture fa
miliar with the opposition to the bill
say there is no chance for its pas
sage through the house, even
should it get through the senate.
Thinks Bill Dead.
Mr. Linderholm before leaving
for Omaha said that he felt satisfied
the biI was practically dead and had
so wired the offcials of the grain ex
change. Grain men, he remarked,
would welcome the termination of
the fixed price and hope to have
the market in shape when thai
time arrived. One ofv their strong
objections to the bill was that the
machinery could no, be put in op
eration to properly function befpre
the termination of the guarantee
fixed by law and it was useless,
therefore, to unsettle existing condi
tions. It was Mr. Linderholm's be
lief that a lot of wheat would be
turned over 'to the grain corpora
tion before" it goes out of business,
in view of the amount of wheat still
in the hands of farmers.
Mr. Linderholm was especially
pleased with the treatment accorded
the Omaha delegation not only by
the members of the agricultural
committee, whose eyes have been
opened toAhe very serious objec
tions the Gronna measure contains,
but by the representatives of other,
grain exchanges and even the pro
ponents ofthe bill.
The , grain exchange committee
made no effort to see Director Gen
eral Hines of the railroad adminis
tration -with reference to a with
drawal of the order forbidding tlje
shipment of corn between February
8 and 18 on the ground that the
order expired by limitation and any
efforts they might have put forward
would have been useless.

Further Concessions,
Are Granted Germany
London, '.Feb. 18. Germany has
been allowed a concession from the
terms of the treaty pf Versailles with
regard to the speed with which its
military, forces must be reduced.
Premier Lloyd George, it was
learned, has notified Dr. Sthamer,
the German envoy, that the date
when its army must be reduced to
200,000 men has been fixed as April
10, vfhile it is allowed until July 10
to bring it down to the 100,000
limit.
Evidently assuming tha(t the treaty
would be made effective much earlier
than it really was, article 163 of the
treaty stipulated, that the reduction
to 100,000 men should be made by
"March 31, 1920, at the latest.": f

Until 1926. '
Chicago, Feb. 18. Building ojier
ations in the United States during
120 will total $6,000,000,000, G. W.
Buchholz, secretary of the Asso
ciated General Contractors. . told
that organization here. About
$4,000,000,000 was spent last year on
budding. He predicted that the
$6,000,000,000 annual expenditure
on new construction would tontinue
fijr at least six years, "until we are
caught up with the timelost during
the war." i '
Building costs have risen from 84
to 240 per cent since 1913, according
to Franklin T. Miller, New York
publisher, who addressed represen
tatives of buildiiig trades and con
struction s organizations attending
the national conference on 'Concrete
house construction.
' He attributed this advance to the
demand for automobiles and other
luxuries, asserting that these had
drawn labor from the building in-
MftTStry and raised the cost of labor
to such an extent that rentals had
gone up" in sympathy.
.''The people are bidding r.gainst
each other in renting and until they
cease, rents will continue high," Mr.
Miller declared.

These versions were said to have
