FLOOD CHALLENGES
POWER OF CONGRESS
Virginian Characterizes Sec
tion Five as Attempt to Pre
serve Something Out of
Wreck of American Rights.
Washington, , April 7. Final de
termination "was reached today by
republican leaders in the house to
bring to a vote in that body late
Friday the resolution to declare the
ablate of war with, Germany at an
end. A special rule reported today
by the rules committee provides for
mx hours' debate on Thursday and
five hours on Friday, "after which
opponents of the resolution may of
fer only a motion to recommit.
Completion today of the minority
report presenting views of demo
cratic members' of the foreign af
fairs committee on the resolution
cleared the way for the long debate.
- Representative Flood ofc Virginia,
ranking democratic member of the
committee, presenting the minority
report, challenged the power of
congress to bring the war legally
to an end and characterized section
5 of the resolution as "an attempt
to preserve something out of the
wreck of American rights which
have been so outrageously surren
dered in former sections of the reso
lution." .
Says Proposition Confused.
"From whatever angle this reso
lution is viewed," he continued, "it
presents itself as a proposition not
only ineffective in achieving its pro
claimed purpose, but as a sure
method of confusing our foreign re
lations, injecting new and compli
cated questions into an already dif
ficult situation and involving a sur
render of American rights and an
impairment of American . prestige
and honor."
The minority report took particu
lar exception to the statement in the
resolution's preamble that the presi-.
dent had informed congress the war
'was at an end.
"At no time and under no cir
cumstances has the president, made
any such assertion," the report said.
"It is true that, on thevaigning of
the armistice, the president, in the
course of an address to - congress,
used the words, 'the war thus comes
to an end.' But he spoke of actual
hostilities, as every one knew, and
not of the technical state of war.
It takes a treaty to end a war.
"The drafters of 'the resolution
and the members of the committee
on foreign affairs who voted for it,
knew that this was the case. .
' Cite Kentucky Case.
"By quoting this statement of the
president as the basis for this resolu
tion, the authors of the resolution
lay themselves open to the charge
of insincerity and sharp practice.
"The supreme court .recently de
clared 'that what the president had
done did not announce the legal ter
mination of the war,' the report de
clared, citing the decision in the
Kentucky distilleries cases.
"Representative Flood asserted that
sections of the resolution restricting
trade with Germany or seeking to
repeal war time legislation were
within the powers of congress, but
cited many authorities to sustain his
contention that "so far as it seeks
to direct the president to issue a
proclamation to the German gov
ernment, it entrenches upon the
treaty-making powers and is not
within the power: of congress."
Plan Bill to Forever
Bar Socialists From
Politics in New York
i .
Albany, N. Y., April 7. Two bills
designed to carry 6ut the recom
mendation of the assembly judiciary
committee "for barring the socialist
party of America from participation
fn politics in New York state" were
introduced in the legislature today.
One measure is intended to re
quire the attorney general of the
state to begin an action in the appel
late division, Third department, for
a judicial determination of the ques
tion whether the "principles, doc
trines or policies" of the socialist
party, "if carried into effect, would
i destroy, subvert or endanger the
povernmeni of the state and na

The companion measure is design
ed to amend the public officers' law
relating to qualifications of persons

Washington, April 7. George T.

Hoover Not in Favor of
His Name on Republican .
Ballots in AnjrState
Prefers That
Former Food Administrator
friends Further His. Chances by Prqso
Their Views to the Country and Delegv
ready Named Doesn't Think Loyjrden, JoN .Son,
Harding or Wood Can Be Nominated.
New York, April 7. (Special.)
Movements started by friends and
political admirers of Herbert
Hoover to have his name written in
on the republican ballots in Illinois,
Nebraska, Ohio and other states do
not meet with the approval of the
former food administrator,' it was
made plain here today, . '
Hoover "himself in a statement
said: . .
"Having refused to allow my name
to be put into the primaries hitheto
at every place . wtyere I have been
consulted, so far as I know, it has
only been done in Michigan and
California and in one solitary dis
trict outside. As there is little or
ganization in my-bfhalf except the
clubs that have sprung -up spontane
ously over the country, and as most
of the primaries are closed and at
this late date no organization is pos
sible that could compete with other
organizations, I do not consider my
friends will find any advantage in
that direction in other primaries.
Those who think I should be nomi
nated will, I bejieve, find their en
ergies better applied to promotion
of their views to the country and
the delegates already named, with
full respect, to their prior .pledges."
Playing Careful Hand.
Hoover's carefully worded state
ment that efforts be centered on the
delegates already elected "with full
respect to their prior pledges "re
moves all doubt that the former
food administrator " believes 'that
none of the four actively competing
candidates for tat presidency
Lowden, Johnson or, Wood-can be
nominated, that the convention will
deadlock, and that by actively boost
ing the Hoover candidates before
the delegates already selected and to
be selected, the! convention might
turn to Hoover to break the dead
lock., i.
Backers of Hoover are determined
that his followers do not make the
mistake the Wood forces made in
...s
allowing tfVeir candidate to go into
the home, states of Harding, Low
den and Pershing to compete with
tm state's candidate. It is taken
for granted that Harding, Lowden
and Pershing will carry their home
states.
Fear to Create Bitterness.
.It is believed that by pitching
contests in these three states the
Wood forces have created a bitter
ness that in any circumstance would
pi event the delegates selected from
ever turning to 'Wood. The Hoover
forces want no such enmity in what
it now appears will be. a long drawn
out convention with many ballots,
Neither do Hoover leaders want
his'name written in on democratic
ballots. They say that Hoover, in
his statement was emphatic that he
would not accept a democratic nom
ination, and votes for him on the
democratic ticket would, contribute
to the defeat of the well thought
out Hoover plan of campaign.
Hoover's friends in Illinois, Ne
braska, Ohio and New. Jersey where
the next primaries' tests are to be
had will be in full possession of .the
fact that he does not wish his name
written on the ballots within a short
time. Hoover, who may be said to
be directing his own campaign, has
asked Capt. J. F. Lucey, chairman
of the Hoover National Republican
club, to write these friends that he
does not careo risk embarrassment
of his chance by the use of his name
in this manner.
Wish to Defeat Johnson.-
It 'is' no secret that the Hoover
forces are anxious to defeat Hiram
Johnson in California, and feel cer
tain that they will be successful. It
is an unwritten anxiom of 'politics
that a candidate who cannot go to
the nominating convention with the
delegates of his home' state is no.
candidate at all. They reason that
any candidate who has his home

IRISH PICKETERS
CENTER ATTACK ON
SECRETARY COLBY
Transfer Scene of Activities
Front British Embassy to r '
Department of 'Stite "
- i.' ' '." . -s
Washington, -"April ; 7. Bearing
banners inscribed with quotations
said to be taken from a recent speech
by Secretary Colby, the Irish pickets
transferred their activities from the
British embassy to the State depart
ment. '.''' F : ; .
During the busiest hour of the af
ternoon, the pickets presented to the
gaze tf homeward bound war work
ers, banners bearing thequoted in
scriptions: t
"There is not even a scintilla of
legality in England's claim to rule
Ireland."
"The death of your martyrs has
called into existence millions . of
Irish by principle," and,
' "1 cannot stand by mute and pas
sionless while these votive offerings
aie laid upon the altar of patriotism."
At the end 01 an hour, the pickets
withdrew- to their headquarters'. A
squad of pr.lice appeared On the
scene as soon as the banners were
erected, but no effort was made to
interfere with tlie picketing.
Further Patrol Postponed.
Resumption of the patrol in front
of the British embassy has been
definitely postponed until after the
trial ndxt Monday of the four pick
ets now under arrest. Arraigned be
fore United States Commissiuner
Richardson, the quartet was released
on $1,000 bail each, after pleading
not guilty to having "feloniously
menaced bodily and by violence the
person of his excellency, the coun
sellor of the embassy and charge
d'affairs of Great Britian, the Hon.
Ronald C. Lindsay."
One of the four prisones was
pronounced "indisposed" after her
release from detention.
vJust an attack of wonian's
nerves," her colleagues said.
None of the women offered any
complaint against the food and lodg
ing afforded them at the house of
detention. Plenty of Irish potatoes,
they said, were offered them besides
Hungarian goulash and New Eng
land family dinner.
Michigan Vote Criterion,
According to Edwards
1 -
Jersey City, N. J April 7. Gov-'
ernor Edwards before leaving for
Trenton today, declared the vote for
hint in the Michigan primaries "in
dicated an awakening of the peo
ple to the dangers of an invasion
of their personal liberty." He was
enthusiastic over the result, not
withstanding that latest returns in
dicated he ran- behind Herbert
Hoover. -
"It was not opposition to prohibi
tion so much as opposition to being
deprived of a personal right with
out an opportunity to pass upon, the
question that brought out the vote
for me in Michigan," he said. "It
was spontaneous. I did not lift a
hand for it and no one campaigned
for me in that state."
Roumania to Ratify Treaty.
Bucharest, April 71. The council

"f wo Thousand Men Interned in
British Zone of Occupation
Ruhr Revolt Near End.- r
Coblenz, April 7. Two thou
sand communists have crossed the'
Rhine into the British zone of oc
cupation and have been interned
Twelve hundred more are expected
to arrive today.
Flight of large numbers of the
communists into occupied territory
is considered an indication that the
revolt in the Ruhr region is near an
end. 'The ' situation in the Rhyr
valley is bad and living conditions
are almost unbearable.. . A railroad
strike at Essen is reported and no
trains are-running.
. The reaction locally to the move
ment of French troops into German
cities east, of the Rhine has not dis
turbed the population. Firm con
viction is expressed by Germans
that the action of the French will
solidify more than ever, sentimen
all over Germany against the allies.
The chief of staff of American
forces here has repeated his declara
tion that he has no direct concern
with any action outside of American
occupied territory except cTn spe
cific instructions from Washington.
. , Germany Protests Move. -
Berlin, April 7. The German
charge d'affaires in .Paris was in
structed today to hand to the
French government a note protest
ing against the French occupation
of Frankfort and other territory on
the right, bank, of the Rhine.
"We must in the name of justice,
reason and humanity," the German
note says," make the sharpest pro
test againsf the acticm of the French
army. It cannot possibly have been
the intention of the treaty of Ver
sailles to prevent Germany from
restoring order as quicklyas pos
sible in the part of its territory
most seriously disturbed by bands
of fobbers.
A great military conspiracy, which
was to have been a Bavarian
parallel to the recent Berlin revolu
tion, has been discovered in Munich,
is was announced. 1
Part of the: plan was that General
Ludendorff be made dictator over
Bavaria and Dr. Heioi of the Ba
varian separatists, a sort of civil and
economic dictator.

Admiral Rodman Savs
Sims' Criticism of His
Chief Was Indiscreet
Washington, April 7. Admiral
Hugh Cj Redman, commander-in-chief
of the Pacific fleet, told the
senate investigating committee to
day that Rear Admiral Sims' letter
to Secretary Daniels cnticjsing the
navy's part in the war was "very
indiscreet." J
"Admiral Sims' indiscretions," he
said, "lay very particularly in his
breach of confidence in making
public an intimate and confidential
conversation which should have
been held secret."
The witness referred to Sims'
testimony that Admiral Benson,
former chief of naval operations,
told him prior to his departure for
London "not to let the British pull
the wool over your eyes, we would
as soon fight them as the Germans."
"Had Admiral SimsX letter been
less indiscreet," Admiral Redman
said, "it would, no doubt, have
. . . received due consideration
by the proper authorities and
doubtless some good would have
come from it."

Pershing Instead of Wood
New York, April 7. The New

surprising feature of the poll is that

.Many of those voting for Persh

INDICATIONS POINT
TO REJECTION OF
TRAINING MEASURE
Fight on Army Bill Opens in
Senate With Sharp ' '
Debate.
Washington jApril 7. The big
fight against nniversal military
train nig "opened 'fn the . senate"" with'
indications that the final vote, prob
ably tomorrow, would- result in is
rejection. '
Leaders on both sides who -formally
canvassed the senate vote re
fused to comment on the probable
outcome. It was said, however, that
40 democrats and 13 republicans
were against the training plan. In
this situation a movement will be
begun aiming at the substitution of
,a program of voluntary training.
1 here was sharp debate on the
training scheme, which was com,-
. ,J ,! 1 1. I 1 . .UJ
sum total of action was the decisiovn
to postpone from 1921 to 1922 the
date on which the plan would be
put into force. This was done with
less than a dozen senators in the
chamber.
Senator Wadsworth, republican of
New York, in charge of the bill, de
clared the regular army would never
be big enough to defend this coun
try. Urging adoption of the train
ing -plan, he contended the senate
bill, including the training scheme,
would cause an annual maximum ex
penditure of $700,000,000, or. j'but
one-twentieth as much as spent for
the army alone during 18 months of
the world war."
Senator Pomerene, democrat
Ohio, opposing immediate adoption
of the'plan because of the expense,
declared the "tragedy of untrained
jnen being sent into battle was not
due so much to unpreparedness as
to the negligence of officers who
sent them into the fight." '

25 railroads and in Chicago had
thrown more than 50,000 men out
of work, either directly or indirect

men in Chicago and several hundred
at Buffalo and at Champaign, 111.,
were on strike. Hundreds of i Chi-,
cago packing house employes Were
idle for lack of live stock. V

labor heads to lead their men..
Pledge Support to Roads. '

end union railroad men throughout
the country have been urged to re

breakers.'
Managers of 25 roads in the Chi
cago terminal district affected by
the; strike, today agreed to give .
brptherhood officers at least another
day in which to restore normal con
ditions and, through their spokes
men, declared themselves confident
that the, unions would succeed.

same confidence, but others declared
the strike fever was "in the air,"
that even the most conservative
men were quitting work and that
the task of keeping the'trains mov
ing appeared difficult

president of theChicago Yardmen's
association, who called the original
