Additional Light Thrown on
Marital Troubles of Major
Irving Shuman.
Cbiiof Trtfewto-Oaali BN Vtvi Win.
Chicago, March 7. Additional
light, tinged with a hint of tragedy,
is being thrown upon the marital
troubles of Maj. Irving W. Schuman,
former sub-treasurer in Chicago,
Original Wilson man and now
serving with an army in Poland. His,
wife, who is here with their two little
daughters, has filed suit for separa
tion, sayingTie has refused to return
from Europe. v
After Mr. Schuman, then con
nected with a bank in a small Illinois
town, had done tuch valiant work
for Mr. Wilson, the president
offered him the comptrollership, but
Mr. McAdoo vetoed the proposition.
Mr. Schuman was then given the
sub-treasuryship in Chicago as his
political reward. Jfe resigned about
three years ago. When the war
struck this country he jumped into
military service and Was speedily
granted a commission as major.
After the war he was dismissed from
the army, but did not return.
Letter to Girls.
, The following letter, from some
point in Poland, throws some light
on the affair;
"Dear Pearl and Girls Only one
letter from each of you this month
is surely in keeping with my record
for not writing, or possibly the
mails are to blame. I expect fo re
sign from the Polish army on
January 1, but my resignation, ac
cording to contract, would not be
effective until March 31, but I will
try to shorten it, as I am still think
ing of Russia.
"I cannot return fo America and
to you for several reasons, the prin
cipal one being that I am not as
clean as I was when I entered the
army.
"Another is they will not leaVe
me alone long enough to get started
again financially, even over here, and
it would finish me up quick to go
against thcin in America in my
present physical condition.
"I would rather the girls would
remember me or forget me as I was
when they last saw me, than to have
tliem later realize my condition. My
present condition regardless ot wnat
brought it about, as you would not
believe what I might tell you, will
rapidly take me theway father
went ,
This is the latest word from a
man once prominent in Illinois
affairs and it tells its own story of
a life that appears to be hopelessly
broken. His present whereabouts
are unknown.

Aged Man Says He Lived on
Total of Nine Cents a Oay
Albany; Ore., March 7. That he
had lived, on an average of nine
cents a aay for four years, was
the statement of William Buzzard,
89, in the county court here in a
proceeding to inquire his sons, M.
Bussard and D, Bussard of Albany
and M. L. Bussard of Oregon City,
to support him. He said he had
lived principally on beans, potatoes
and crackers. He asserted he had re
ceived only one '6hirt and one pair
of trousers in this time. The sons
dispute his testimony.
As a result of the ' hearing the
county court will look after the old

ASSERTION OF
NITTI SAME AS

l
Premier's Stand That German
Must Be Allowed Materials
Identical With U. S.'
Peace Commissions.
Mw York Timat-Cblrar Tribune Cubic,
coDrricht, im
Paris, March 7. Premier Nitti's
assertion that Germany must be
allowed raW materials if she is "ex
pected to pay reparations, is exactly
what the American peace commis
sioners argued a year ago when the
Treaty of Versailles was in the
making.
All five American plenipotentiaries
took up the point that Germany must
not continue to be blockaded and
boycotted, if she was to pay -the
reparations demanded, but they were
criticised by the UrenClr press. The
English press also criticised . the
Americans severely for "aiding Ger
man interests."
American financial experts pointed
out that Germany could not pay
reparations unless she was permitted
to work. It was because the allied
powers,, chiefly France and Great
Britain, would not agree to let Ger
many begin to produce that no
figure was set on the amount of
reparations which must be paid. The
French and British named fantastic,
sums which Germany could never
pay, especially if the policy of boy
cotting and blockading German
goods was maintained, and the
Americans refused to accept these
figures. "
Left Sum Unnamed.
Rather than revise the, figures to
a" reasonable total which Germany
Could pay, the French and British
preferred to leave the sum unnamed,
to be set by a reparations commis
sion at a future date. It is already
being, whispered everywhere that
Germany will never pay anything.
Italy and Great Britain are begin
ning to realize this f hence Nitti's
suggestion that Germany must be
helped with a loan and credit for
raw materials even before France is
aided to reconstruct the devastated
areas. Both British and Italians are
believed to be influenced somewhat
irt this decision by the failure of
France to rebuild her war shattered
districts quickly. ,
Scandals concerning the French
failure to reorganize and recon
struct the devastated areas fill the
press daily.
Tardieu, formerly minister of the
liberated regions, was received with
hisses at a tlieatcj, presenting a re
vue with a scene of a war ruined
village which received the Croix de
Guerre but no material help.
American army stocks were
bought by the French government
for aiding the devastated regions.
Instead they have been looted, sold
and given away to profiteers, who
have soli mncn of the material in
Germany. Little or nothing has
been done for the population of the
old war zone.

"All the highjacking being dof.e

who lives in the fashionable district

made considerable money in this

with an alleged highjacker, who
called him up after 12 Friday night.
"Yesterday morning another man
called me up at my office," said Rev.
Mr. Savidge. "He said that ins'.. ad
of their being only six highjackers

said, there are eight gangs totaling
about 100 men, engaged in this

"The master mind who directs the

considered by the community to be
a man of good morals.
"He said booze is being sold with
comparative safety and at unbe
lievable prices to rich men in Omaha,
particularly those who live at clubs.
Most of the highjackers are men be
tween 20 and j0 vears of age who
are out for the money.
"Women are co-operating with the
gangs, my informant said. They drive
the nne cars which haul the robbers.
Some of these women carry guns
and can shoot with accuracy and
deadly effect. They sleeo bv dav and
do this deviltry by night"
"Out to Win."
Rev. Mr. Savidge said his tele
phone informant told him that this
type of robber is called a "high
jacker" because the "high jack" card
wins and the highjacker goes out
to win. j
He declared that, according to his
information, the police have not
arrested any of the real gangs of
highjackers, but only "boys and
nondescripts." - ' j
"I think that, as the robbers have
gone through my basement, they
ought not to weaken now but visit
the homes of bishops, priests and
ministers of both Catholic and
Protestant churches. Then they
ought to make a truthful report, it
would be interesting. In the cellars
of some ministers they will find
something." i

One recent marriage and the an
nouncement of two engagements of
descendants of Commodore Van
derbilt have served to emphasize the
fact that romance is breaking up one
of the greatest fortunes ever ac
cumulated in America. Deaths and
marriages have divided and subdi
vided the original fortune, but de
spite this it still adheres in sufficient
amounts to make the Vanderbilt
heirs desirable matrimonial catches,
both in this country and abroad.
England Gets Chip.
The marriage in London recently
of the Marquis of Blandford, eldest
son of the Duchess of Marlborough,
who is the daughter of W. K. Van
derbilt, to the Hon. Mary Cadogan
is assurance that a large part of the
Vanderbilt fortune will remain per

Legion Posts Urged
To Join in Campaign.
Against Illiteracy
New York, March 7. Co-operation
of American Legion posts
throughout the country, with every
effort to stamp out illiteracy, was
advocated by the legion's national
Americanism commission in a re
port to the national executive com
mittee, made public today.
Arthur Woods, former police com
missioner of New York, commission
chairman, stated it had decided to
confine itself to definition of "gen
eral principles" and to leave Jhe ap
plication of these principles to indi
vidual posts.
"All posts should make plain to
the community that they are not as
suming any monopoly of patriotism,
but that they wish to work vigor
ously and effectively for all that is
best in America, and that they are
eager to join forces with all others
who have the same aim," said the re
port. "The American Legion should en
courage, support and help the
schools in teaching to the children
ths origin and development of Amer
ican institutions and the opportu
nities of American life. The legion
should assist schools by offering to
provide qualified speakers from time
to time to every school in the nation
to preach Ameficanism, especially
on our great patriotic days."

Washington, March 7 Virtual de

The first step by the allies toward

since the decision on January 17 to
permit trade with the Russian co

appointment of a commission to be

will act upon the invitation of the
allies to. send a representative, as is
yet uncertain, but at any event is
believed this government will act as
soon as the commission has re
turned and reported, probably early
in the spring.

EXPECT WILSON
TO FIGHT THRACE
AWARD TO GREECE
Thunderbolts of Protest Are
Awaited From White
, PJouse in Paris
By H$NRY WALES.
New York Timm-Chlcago Tribune Cable,
Copyright, 1920.
Paris, March 7. Reports that the
London conference of the supreme
council has agreed to give Thrace
to Greece and Bessarabia to Rou
mania is expected' to loosen a thun
derbolt of. protests from President
Wilson, just as did Lloyd George's
and Nitti's attempts to despoil
Jugo-Slavia by shifting the Wilson
line in Istria or applying the secret
pact of London resulted in a vigor
ous American protest.
Wilson is just as squarely on rec
ord aganist granting Thrace to
Greece and Bessarabia to Roumani
as against granting the imperialistic
Italian aspirations in the Adriatic.
Last autumn, when Frank Po!k
tentatively agreed Greece could
have East Thrace and part of West
Thrace, maintaining an interna
tional state in the center, including
Dedaghatch, giving Bulgaria access
to the Aegean sea, Mr. Wilson over
ruled him peremptorily. He cabled
he would flot consent to give Greece
anything in Thrace except a small
portion at the extreme westerly end
of Caballa on the frontier . to the
Bay of Lagos.
Venizelos protested, cabling the
White House direct, butwas turned
down.
Great Britain, France, Italy and
the United States, all refused even
to hear Roumania's claims to-Bess-arabia
last year, as it "was regarded
monstrous to consider despoiling
Russia of its richest grain province.
Rouniania militarily has been oc
cupying Bessarabia for more than- a
year, and the reported agreement tc
place Bessarabia under Roumanian
sovereignty is believed to camou
flage a clever move in old secret
diplomacy to apply pressure against
Lenine and Trotzkjr in the forth
coming peaccpDurparlers with the
Soviets. , .
Mr. Wilson will reply with a vio
lent protest against the decisions
when he is advised officially is the
belief in American circles. -

NO HARM TO NAVY
FROM A WARD1 ROW
DANIELS ASSERTS
Morale Unimpaired by Senate
Controversy, According to
Statement Issued by
,s Secretary.
Washington, March 7. The
wrangle over awards to navy of
ficers of .war decorations dftw near
er a conclusion tonight when Chair
man Page, oi the senate naval com
mittee, made public the trio of reports-
the investigators of the suo
committee produced.
The three republican members
joined in the majority report, which
sharply criticised Secretary Daniels
in some respects, while the two dem
ocrats submitted individual reports
defending the secretary's course and
directing their attack, in turn, at
Rear -Admiral William S. Sims, the
most prominent figure in the con
troversy. In one respect the three reports
are unique. They are agreed on two
points: That no permanent harm
has come to naval morale as a re
sult of the awards of the contro
versy and that enlisted men received
too small a share of recognition foi
their services.
Criticise Secretary Daniels.
The majority "report, signed by
Senators Hale. McCormick and
Poindextcr, arraigns Mr. Daniels for
not having fully advised officers as
to his plans in making awards and
asserts that his policy of decorating
officers who, lost ships would be de
trimental to the navy.
Senator Pittman, in the first
minority report, characterized the in
vestigation as a tempest it) a tea
pot "too ridiculous to be mentioned"
in connection with morale of a fight
ing navy. In the second minority
report, Senator Trammell, asserted
that Mr. Daniels followed estab
lished naval custom in changing
recommendations of Ris subordi
nates as those officers themselves
had done with proposals of their
juniors.
The majority report reached the
following conclusions:
That Secretary Daniels did not
make known to the service his
policy as to awards especially with
regard to the relative importance
of duty on shore and afloat.
Insufficient Consideration.
That the secretary did not as
certain from the officers who
recommended honors, the relative
order of merit and did not himself
givel sufficient consideration to that
question.
That Secretary Daniels did not
require a sufficiently high standard
of meritorious conduct in conferring
honors on officers who lost ships
and was "more zealous to further
the interests of commanders who
lost ships than of other commanders
who destroyed, or seriously damaged
enemy ships.
v That the statute governing naval
awards should be amended to avoid
further controversy.
The majority report laid stress
on its statement that no attempt
had been made to ascertain the order
of merit among those recommended
for decorations.
Senator Pittman contended that
the investigation was unnecessary
because the naval award matter was
being reinvestigated by the Knight
board by direction of Secretary
Daniels when the investigating com
mittee was appointed.
Admiral Sims believed, the sen
ator said, that the distinguished ser
vice medal should only be awarded
to a few of the highest officers in
the navy and that it would be
cheapened by awarding, it to junior
officers and enlisted men.
Says Award Justified.
" Criticising Admiral Sims for hav
ing made a special point ot anegea
injustice to six members of his staff,
Senator Pittman declared that the
award of a distinguished service
medal to Commander D. W. Bagley,
Secretary Daniels' brother-in-law,
about whotn much of the contro
versy centered, was justified. .
Senator Trammell, democrat,
Florida, in a separate report said
that Secretary Daniels in changing
recommendations made by com
manding officers and the. Knight
board was following established
naval custom and the same policy
was pursued by Admiral Sims with
regard to recommendations made to
Admiral Sims' criticism of Secre
tary Daniels, Senator Trammell said,
implied also criticism of Admirals
Mayo, Gleaves, Grant, Niblack, the
members of the board of awards and
ether naval officers.
The report said those officers
whose duty it was to initiate recom
mendations were recreant in their
duty insofar as enlisted men were
coi.;erned. It added that no differ
ence of opinion existed between the
majority of naval officers and Sec
retary Daniels regarding the deco
ration of officers who lost ships, but
performed heroic or meritorious
service. .
