NAVAL PROBE IS
SCENE OF SHARP
VERBAL CLASH
Chairman Hale and Secretary
Daniels Wrangle Over
Length of Navy
Head's Replies.
) Washington. May 24. Cross-examination
of Secretary Daniels be
fore the senate naval investigating
committee today wound about from
verbal wrangle to debate and back
to clashes between the secretary and
Chairman Hale, The latter requested
Mr. Daniels to answer "yes" or "no"
and the secretary challenged the
right of the chairman to tell him
how to reply. t
"I am secretary of the navv and
I shall answer you in accordance
with the duties of my office," the
. secretary retorted. "Yeu have no
more right to tell me how to answer
a question than I have to tell you
how to ask it.
Telia War Plana.
Mr. Daniel's testimony today dealt
largely with the Navy department's
war plans In April 1917. He fur
nished a list of war plans, to refute,
he said, Rear Admiral Sims' charge
that the department had no dual
plans.
During one interchange, the chair
man accused Mr. Daniels of delay
ing the hearing by introducing "ir
relevant matters" and by giving
evasive answers.
"At the present rate it looks like
this committee will be here all sum
mer," the chairman added.
"All right," replied Mr. Daniels,
."that suits me."
Charges Irrelevant Replies.
-"I can't understand why you are
introducing so much irrelevent mat
ter," continued Senator Hale. "These
hearings are being conducted at
great expense and I would thinkr
you would be as anxious as any of
us to expedite them."
"I am not introducing irrelevant
matter and 1 do wish to expedite the
hearings," replied Mr. Daniels. "But
1 intend to give full answers to
questions if it takes all summer.
Mr. Daniels $aid the Navy depart
ment had plans as adequate as any
in the history of any navy in the
world," for war "against any pos
sible euemy."
Thev included, he said, general
plan for war against Germany and
anti-submarine campaign, mobiliza
tion, operating command, strategy
and logistics plan. 1
Asked if he- was a "naval expert"
when he became secretary, Mr. Dan
iels replied that he was not, but that
he had been studying naval organi
zation and administration seven
years.

Chlrngo Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased IVlre
Kew York, May 24. The major
markets today were directed by in
nuences peculiar to eacli one
separately. Last week's movement
in liquidation not being present
everywhere. While stocks were de
pressed, falling sharply during the
second hour, grain and provision
quotations rallied strongly to the
accompaniment of rather meager of
ferings. Cotton was' firm for a time
but eased off before noon and was
irregular afterward. Liberty bonds
disclosed more firmness than heavi
ness, several issues getting to points
higher than last week s maximum
Credit as represented by fixed
period loans and commercial paper
discounts continued as stin as be
fore, but at the same time Wall
Street's light demand for collateral
call loans was evidenced in a steady
6 per cent rate, the first time de
mand loans had renewed at this
figure since April 12.
No Stock Demand.
The, day's developments were m keep
Ing with current uncertainties. What was
evident more than anything else in stocks
was the absence of demand, which per
mitted short sellers to attack prices with
Impunity for a time and brought recessions
reaching from 2 to more than 3 points.
The later recovery that reduced losses
about half aDoeered to result from a mod
erate envprine- of the morning's short sales,
and a turnover greatly reduced from last
Friday's total Indicates tnat puonc par
ticipation was slight. The situation was
somewhat different In the grain market.
Chicago dispatches telling of purchases on
a broad scale which contained substantial
flow of short covering but was governea,
to a dpaxee also bv buving for long ac
count based on the belief that deliveries
of farm nnd elevator products at primary
centers would be light until more improve
ment occurred In the box car situation,
That a continuance of Friday's and Sat
urday's resilience of Liberty bonds could
be expected today was denoted In the
federal reserve system's weekly statement
which showed "a material reduction of
loans on government war paper. Because
of the place of great prominence which
the war bonds and notea occupies In the
general situation, the Immediate future of
the market Is obscure. Undoubtedly, last
wi-ek's liquidation helped to release a con
HiriarnhlA amount of bank credit and the
process carried quotations to levels where
new investments were stimulated, but It
la Impossible yet to seo whether 'further
liquidation will not appear on a broaa
rcale. Despite heavy reduotlons of redis
counts, in the neighborhood of $50,000,000
throughout tha entire reserve system, the
country's loan account was still topheavy.
Slight Credit Relief.
While borrowings fell at eastern centers
in a satisfactory fashion at middle western
reserve banks there appeared 10 oe i
switching from government bond to com
m.,.1.1 nana rAdiannnnts. resulting In c
rathe.r small net Improvement. The gain
of only one-half of 1 per cent In the
combined reserve ratio left much to be
accomDlished before credit strain may
be considered appreciably less.

Illinois Corn Planting A daylight trip
through central Illinois finds corn plant
ing seriously delayed By wet sou conai
tions. Yesterday on the high ground
farmers were busy planting corn and pre
paring the land but low grounds are too
wet to work for a week If no further
rains are experienced. The country Is
quite apprehensive over the delay in get
ting the crop into the ground. Country
elevators are cancelling their orders lor
empties. Break In casn corn prices win
effectually shut off all movement from
country stations except that specinea
above. It la apparent therefore that the
railroads effort to lurrusn empty cars win
be made futile If country shippers main
tain this attitude. The oats outlook is
favorably generally but acreage Is samll
and the oats mudded in.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leased IV Ire
Chicago, May 24. Lack of selling
pressure was apparent in grains from
the start. Many of the local element
went home short Saturday night
and started to covtr at the opening,
finding offerings rather light. There
was a little selling by houses with
eastern connections but it was readi
ly absorbed. At no time did corn
get below the averaging closing
price of Saturday and at the top
showed S7c over the low, closing
on a fair reaction with net gains
of 2 S-8S l-2c, May leading. Oats
were unsettled, May gaining 3c and
July 1 3-4c, while September was
l-4c lower. Rye advanced 66 3-8c
and barley 2c on September, closing
at $1.35.
Greatly augmented strength devel
oped later as a result of advices that
corn planting was being seriously
delayed by wet soil conditions
throuehout imoortaut sections. The
close was nervous, 1 to 5j4 cents net
higher, with July $1-61 to $1.61
and September $1.51 to .$1.51 H.
Omaha Shipments Arrive.
Receipts of cash corn were much smaller
than expected, and part of the larger
movement of last week was due to the
arrival of grain from Omaha. Industries
and shippers competed for the offerings
in ' the sample market with prices un
changed to 2c higher as compared with
Saturday's close. Receipts, 115 cars.
Weather conditions over the west were
generally favorable for plowing and plant
ing, although rains were reported In
southern Illinois. Forecast Indicated un
settled conditions for the next few days.
Primary arrivals of 672,000 bushels were
128.000 bushels In excess of last year.
Despite No. 3 white oats selling In the
sample market at May prices to lo over
Msy, oats acted very tight and advanced
sharply on limited buying. There was
a lack of pressure on the July and short
covering and buying by strong commission
houses lifted prices sharply after an open
ing break. There was 260,000 bushels
old for export at the seaboard, and con
firmation was secured of 600,000 bushels
having been sold Saturday. Sample values
were unchanged to 2o higher with re
ceipts, 129 cars.
Expect Foreign Buyers.
Offerings of rye were light from the
start and with fair buying an advance
was easily attained. The seaboard re
ported 200,000 bushels sold to Holland,
presumably for German account. No. 2
on track brought May price with sales
at $2.02. Receipts, 19 cars.
Barley declined l2c and the under
tone was easy with a number of cars
carried over unsold. Spot sales were at
$1.401.65. Receipts. 34 cars.
British buyers are exuected to enter
the wheat market tomorrow, the holidays
being over. The seaboard reported some
wheat sold to Holland, but failed to
give quantities. Intimations were made
that $2.67 might be paid track New York
for No. 2 hard winter, or about 810c
less than of late. Nothing was heard of
business or bids at the Oulf. Cash wheat
here was firm to 6c hither with Nn. 2
Jiard unsold. Outside markets unchanged.
Minneapolis generally unchanged and
Kansas city unchanged to 12c lower, latter
on Red river.
Pit. Notes.
Corn at the high point today was 8c
over the low of last Saturday for July
delivery. Traders who were bearish said
there had been advance enoutrh. and In
fluential selling by local Interests caused
the late reaction of 2c from the hiirh
point They said advantage should be the
taken of all good bulges like that of today
to put out short lines, as they do not
expect them to hold.
Considerable switching to the long side
was noticeable In certain quarters, due
to the strength In cash corn here and at
St. Louis, the latter being up 7c. They
claim that the market had been oversold
and that despite covering by a number
of the big eastern bouses there was too
much short stuff out at the last. Re
gardless of the latter factor, bids were pre
ferred at the last.
An Industry bid $1.75 for No. 3 grades of
corn at Illinois points today, shipment
In 30 days, and only secured 7.000 bushels.
Illinois points reported a good supply of
box cars today. Points that have com
plained said they had plenty on the Illinois
eCntral. The Interstate Commerce com
mission's order for more box cars for grain
sections becomes effective tomorrow and
Tuns 30 days.
Crop reoorts to the Santa Fe road snow
improvement over the southwest. There Is
enough moisture in the ground to carry
the small grains to maturity. Corn Is do
ing well. Wheat Is heading short In the
Texas Panhandle. Too much rain in north
Central Taxas has damaged cotton and
necessitated replanting. Box car situation
west of the Missouri- Is acute and the out
look for moving the remnant of old crop
and the big new grain crops is unfavor
able. A leading cash grain handler says he be
lieves the local element are discounting
the prospective movement of corn and oats
