THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1921. U. S. Attorney Is Investigating Finding of Guns Says Indications Are 500 Ma chine Guns Were Intended For Use Against Friend- ly Nation. New York, June 17. Assistant United States Attorney Isaac Gross tonight asserted that -circumstances surrounding the discovery of nearly 500 nfachine guns aboard the steam er, Eavtside. at Hoboken last Tuesday indicated that they were intended lor use against a friendly nation and that therefore their pres ence was unlawful. Mr. tiros., by direction of Attor ney Genera! Daugherty, today assum ed charge of . the investigation now being conducted by three federal agencies into ownership of, the muni tions aboard the steamer. Reports had reached government agents that the arms were intended for delivery in Ireland. Mr. Gross satd a careful investiga tion would be made of all circum stances connected with the discovery and, if the facts warranted, they would be put before the proper tri bfnal. !' Besides agents of the Department of Justice, investigators of the cus toms service and shipping board, owners of the Eastside, are working on the case. . Mr. Gross said special agents of the Department of Justice were seeking a chief engineer, who 'was alleged to have come to the Eastside shortly be fore the munitions were smuggled aboard, and, after refusing to take the ship out, disappeared. Mr. Gross hinted that two assis tnnt engineers, who disappeared with the chief, would be questioned when the Eastside reached Norfolk, Va., as they were: understood to have sailed with the vessel.

Holt Will Not Be Given an Answer Query on Nation's Association Plan May Be Ig norcd. Washington, June 17. (By The Associated Press.) Hamilton Holt's letter calling on President Harding to disclose his plans for an associa tion of nations to replace the league has failed to draw any reply from the administration and indications are that none will be made, at least for the present. Mr. Holt headed the pro-league re publicans during the campaign. The impression was permitted to go out, however, that if President Harding replies to the letter he will not enter into any detailed discussion and that so far us the administration is concerned the association plan must remain for trie present in an indefinite status, as the administra tion prefers first a definite settlement of peace and a restoration of Stable conditions in Europe. ; -.- Some persons in the confidence of the administration said today that progress of a preliminary character on plans for the proposed association has been made. Garland Refuses Second Million Dollar Legacy Barefooted, Tanned and Happy Farmer Scorns Wealth Willed to Him By Relatives. Br 1 nlvcpwil 8ervire. Buzzards Bay, Mass., June 17. Charles Garland, who sprang into prominence a few months ago by re fusing to accept his $1,250,000 share of his father's estate, has just re fused another million, this time from the estate of an uncle. Barefooted,, tanned and happy, Garland is leading the life of a small farmer here. "If I accept a fortune," he said, "I am stealing something that doesn't belong to me. And if I give money away I am helping some one receive stolen goods that will do him harm. Money never did any one any good. 1 could never do any good with money. "Men become great by following their ideals, not by following the lure of wealth. Money kills idealism. Christ preached this. I am a pro fessed Christian." Garland said he hoped a third million would not be offered him, but declared that if should be he would refuse just as promptly as he had the other two. "A society based on money is the wrong kind," he continued. "All the evils of the world spring of private possession from the desire of one man to have more than another. The real things the ideals and ideas cannot be bought and paid for. "If I have something others need I will arive it to them. And if they have something.! need, I'll take it. but not oh a "money basis; If I want to eat 1 11 plant my loodstutts and build an engine to reap therri. Then I am producing what I need and not robbing anyone.". , Banana Splits and Parfaits Knock 'Gay Out of Gay White Way By I'nlvemal Service. New York, June 17 The old order changcth.

Prevention Is Urged By Davis To End Strikes Labor Secretary Will Submit To Congress Plan by Which He Hopes to Stop Striking. , By rnlrrnwl Semite. Washington, June 17. Flans which he believes will prevent nine-tenths of the strikes are being prepared by Secretary of Labor Davis. ' The tentative scheme calls for an appropriation of $250,000. He soon will present it to congres;. Mr. Davis believes the strike evil can be practically eliminated by timely pre ventive treatment. A strike, once started, the secre tary reasons, is many times harder to adjust than a strike that is headed off by negotiation in the beginning of the controversy. "I believe," said Mr. Davis, "that if the government would provide 'key' 'men, one for each of the 15 major or key industries, strike troubles would cease to a large ex tent. "One of these men could be as signed to each major industry. He would have a couple of assistants. Their duties would consist of mak ing a study of the industry from the standpoint both of labor and of the employer." Mr. Davis scored the system ot spying that has grown up in various industries, declaring it was to blame for many strikes. The "key" men, he believes, would be able to wipe out much of the suspicion between employer and employe.
