NEWSPAPER
n our lown
Memorial Day, but a few days off,
will not pass unheeded in Galveston.
Members of the American Legion and
various other organizations whose
members have not forgotten those he-
roes of our country who bled and died
in its cause are going to see that these
martyrs are not forgotten.
Elaborate programs of beautiful and
impressive ceremonies are being ar-
ranged for the day, Tuesday, May 30,
and all Galveston will pay tribute.
Even the United States government
can make a mistake.
It made one in Galveston when it
renovated the old postoffice building,
corner Twentieth and Postoffice
streets.
Instead of spending a very large sum
of money in transforming the old
building into a federal courtroom and
half a dozen offices, the same amount
of money, plus some additional amount,
would have erected an eight or ten-
story building on the ground which
would have housed the federal court,
its offices, the customs service, the
immigration department, and half a
dozen other government employees now
renting space in various parts of the
city, and, in addition, would have pro-
vided warehouse space fox' whatever
the government might have to put in
storage.
And besides, and best of all, it would
have brought all the governmental
agencies into one building making
them convenient of access, and given
the postoffice much needed room for
expansion.
Much of the water now being dis-
charged into the Gulf of Mexico by
flooding Texas rivers could be saved.
Great havoc has been wrought by
swollen streams and Galveston is con-
tributing generously to relief meas-
ures.
Texas has been relying too much
upon federal aid for flood protection.
A series of reservoirs', levees and
embankments built along Texas rivers
would provide storage facilities where-
by flood waters could be collected and
devoted to irrigation and power.
Next week El Mina Shrine band and
a goodly number of Shriners and their
ladies will start on a journey which
will carry them through many states
of the union and through a part of
Canada. Of course, they will have a
line time of it.
Most important, however, is the fact
that the band and the Shriners will
carry the name and fame of Galveston
to thousands of people who ought to
be interested in the southwest’s big-
gest and best port and playground.
Galvestonians are doing something
worth while by making sure that all
the events connected with the forth-
coming Oleander Fete will be inter-
esting and attractive.
That’s work in the right direction.
FODAY
Daugherty and Morse.
She Met Troglodytes.
Zoroaster, Then Bolshevism.
— BY ARTHUR BRISBANE T
WHETHER Attorney General Daugh-
erty, while practicing law and not hold-
ing office, took or did not take a fee
from Mr. Morse, to help him get out of
prison, is not important.
Every man in jail or out is entitled
to the help of the best lawyer he can
hire. When he had no public office, if
Mr. Daugherty included Mr. Morse, or
Beelzebub himself, among his clients
that means nothing.
The important thing as regards Mr.
Daugherty is that he, as attorney gen-
eral, brought about the indictment of
Morse accused of swindling the govern-
ment in war time.
That is the important thing, and
incidentally it may explain part of
the agitation.
LADY DOROTHY Mills, granddaugh-
ter of Corbin, who built the Long Isl-
and Railroad, has visited cave dwellers
in the Tripoli Mountains of North Af-
rica.
Cave children ran in and out of
the caves like rabbits in a warren,
says she. The cave dwelling troglodytes
or “gnawers of bone,” are of European
stock although in Africa. A husband
buys his wife, and if he doesn’t like her
after the first day he can send her back
and have the price returned—a depart-
ment store method applied to marriage.
This explains probably why those gen-
tlemen have remained trodlodyte cave
dwellers. An exchangeable wife has no
incentive to establish a home.
WESTERN civilization may not un-
derstand Russia, with hex’ strange Len-
ins and Trotzkys. But Russians under-
stand western civilizatioxx pretty well
at least in spots. The Moscow Izves-
tia says the Genoa meeting was a
scramble for the oil supply of the world
and adds: “Russia was an amused on-
looker in this scramble among the
petroleum imperialists. The Azerbaijan
petroleum is firmly in our hands and
the oil trust will soon apply to us and
not we to them.”
OTHER TIMES, other uses. Natu-
ral gas wells on the shores of the
Black Sea were once used by the priests
of Zoroaster to collect money from fire
worshipers.. What more convincing
than a priest with power to bring
flaming fire from the earth?
Those gas wells and oil wells now
will be used by priests of bolshevism
to extract profits from a capitalist
civilization.
MEN TRYING to fly around the
world expect to spend three months on
the journey, only 300 hours of that
time in the air, about 1,800 hours on
the ground repairing and resting. That
is not discouraging. You remember a
little while ago, when the automobile
was new, how the roadways were lined
with machines broken down, flat tires,
spark trouble and every trouble. Now
they ruix from the Atlantic to the Pa-
cific without a breakdown. Before
this century ends machines will fly
around the earth without stopping, if
they want to.
THE NEW YORK Times announces
a merger of oil companies. A one
hundred dollar share will be taken in
at $800 a share. The deal will amount
so $766,000,000, not quite a billion—■
small business in these days.

DENIES WATSON'S
INTERPRETATION
Atty. Gen’l Daugherty Re-
futes Solon.
GOT NO MONEY FROM
MORSE, LETTER SAYS
Sum From Felder Not Suf-
ficient.
By Associated Press.
Washington, May 27.—'Denial by At-
torney General Daugherty in a letter
read to the senate he told Senator Wat-
son, republican, Indiana he had no con-
nection with the procuring of a pardon
for Charles W. Morse as stated by Sena-
tor Watson in the senate when Senator
Caraway, Democrat, Arkansas, opened
his attack on the attorney general sev-
eral weeks ago was the latest devel-
opment today in connection with the
exchanges that have ensued.
Expressing regret that Senator Wat-
son evidently had misunderstood what
he had said in their discussion of the
matter, Mr. Daugherty in his letter
which was read to the senate yester-
day at the request of the senator, who
is now in Indiana, said he "certainly
did not say" that he had “no connec-
tion with the case” and that he had
“no disposition to deny” his connection
with it. He added that for his services
he "never received anything from Mr.
Morse personally” and that a total of
“about $4,000" was received from Thom-
as B .Felder was “about half enuogh to
pay fy expenses and disbursements.”
Senator Caraway, addressing the sen-
ate after the letter was read, said there
could be no question of misunderstand-
ing; that Senator Watson either had
repeated what was told him or had mis-
represented the attorney general, and
added “I cannot think he would do
that.” Asserting that another Republi-
can senator had told him the attorney
general had made the same denial to
him, Senator Caraway said it was “a
question between the attorney general
and his friends” and if they were “will-
ing to bear the imputation that they
misrepresented him in order to pull him
out of a hole, it is up to them.”
WARD IS RELEASED
ON BAIL OF $5,000
Main Figure In Shooting
Case Liberated.
By Associated Press.
Newburgh, N. Y., May 27—Supreme
Court Justice Seeger today ordered
Walter S. Ward of New Rochelle, cen-
tral figure in the shooting of Clarence
Peters, near White Plains, released on
$5,000 ball.
The vice president of the Ward Bak-
ing company who has spent two nights
in the White Plains jail after surren-
dering a week ago with the statement
he had shot the ex-navy man in self-
defense, won his fight for freedom aft-
er Supreme Court Justice Young in
White Plains yesterday refused to re-
lease him on a writ of habeas corpus
obtained on the plea that there was
no legal charge against him.
It was Justice Seeger who originally
released him on $10,000 bail after he
first had been arrested on a charge
of homicide. This bail was ordered
cancelled by Justice Seeger on the as-
sertion of District Attorney Weeks
that it was insufficient and Ward was
rearrested.
There was some discussion by Ward’s
attorneys and District Attorney Weeks
as to the size of the new bond.
“Will $75,000 be large enough?” the
attorneys asked Mr. Weeks.
“That’s up to the judge,” was the of-
ficial’s answer. He indicated, however,
he would fight the ball bond if Justice
Seegar granted the appeal unless the
amount was large enough to prevent
Ward from leaving the jurisdiction of
the court.
That “Charlie Ross’ did exist and
that he was on trial less than a year
ago on a charge of blackmailing a
wealthy man in New York was the
declaration of Michael L. Sullivan of
Salem, Mass., who says he is in New
York to look after the interest of the
Peters family.
Officials added that they had heard
about “Ross,” knew his real name, and
the story of his trial. Sullivan did not
deny that he had investigators tracing
“Ross,” who was said to be at liberty
on a suspended sentence.
Reporters searching the grounds
around the Ward home in New Ro-
chelle discovered many bits of shat-
tered glass, such as used in the make
of car said by Ward to have carried
him to the spot near the Kensico reser-
voir, where Peters was shot and
killed.
In the gutter in front of the house
a cheap playing card, the five of
spades, with a reddish back, was found.
A pack of card was in Peters coat when
he was discovered and Sheriff Werner
was asked to examine the card to see
if it was from the pack found on Pe-
ters. The sheriff also was informed
regarding the broken glass and said
that he would compare the cards some-
time today.
Ward was allowed to stay in the
sheriff’s private office last night until
long after the regular retiring hour for
prisoners in the jail. He also sent for
his meals. He had several visitors
during the evening, two men dressed
in gray, one of whom brought a long
envelope, said to have been a message
from his counsel. The message seemed
to please Ward, for a smile followed
its reading. Ward, when taken to
the jail, was assigned to the cell block

About Galveston
Great catches of mackerel and trout
are being made in the waters adjacent
Galveston these days.
The gulf has been beautifully clear
for the past several days, all of the
muddiness previously prevailing hav-
ing disappeared, and in consequence
the fish are biting freely.
Reports from the fishing piers indi-
cate trout and mackerel are running
freely.

GALVESTON’S FUTURE
PROSPECTS BRIGHT
New York Advertising Man
Visits City.
"The future possibilities of Galves-
ton as a port and as the playground
of America are the greatest,” says M.
P. Linn of New York, general manager
of the S. E. Beckwith agency, who
is in Galveston today. The New York-
ers are hearing a lot about Galveston
and its all year ‘round surf bathing,
and there is no reason why Galves-
ton’s beach should not become the
most famous of any in the country.
“Galveston is a beautiful city, espec-
ially at this time of the year when
the oleanders are in full bloom, and
this fact should be broadcasted to every
nook and corner of the United States.
Your city has every natural advan-
tage—a wonderful beach, ideal climate,
the best hotel in the southwest, beau-
tiful flowers and best of all it is a
city of boosters.
“Advertise what you have in a big
way. See that posters and booklets of
Galveston and its attractions are scat-
tered throughout the country in ail
the hotels, railway stations, etc.”
Conditions throughout the South look
very encouraging at this time, accord-
ing to Mr. Linn, who predicts an era
of prosperity. “The old cry of ‘hard
times’ has been forgotten in the effort
to put things over in a big way and
normalcy is no longer a stranger.”
BERLIN ACCEPTED TERMS?
Reports Germans Approved Reparation
Demands Not Accepted.
Paris, May 27.—(By the Associated
Press.)—Reports from Berlin that the
German government had accepted the
allied reparations propositions were
qualified by fears in reparation circles
that the propositions had been ac-
cepted only as a basis for discussion
while the determination of the commis-
sion is that they constituted the last
word.
ABOUT $150,000
FOR PLAYGROUNDS
Available Under Will of B.
W. Key.
The schools of Galveston will re-
ceive between $125,000 and $150,000
from the B. W. Key will, to be applied
to the purchase of playground space
for the children attending the schools.
This was indicated by the inventory of
the appraisers of the property covered
by the will of the deceased public ben-
efactor, filed a few days ago.
According to the inventory, the estate
left by Mr. Key amounts in value to
approximately $290,000; the specific be-
quests carried by the will amount to
about $91,000 and after the payment of
some debts and the costs of probating
the will, it is expected that the sum
named above will be available for the
purchase of additional playground
space for the public schools of Galves-
ton, both white and colored, as pro-
vided by the will.

TRIP AROUND GLOBE
Britisher Sets Out For Italy
After Delay.
Le Bourget, France, May 27.—(By the
Associated Press.)—Maj. W. T. Blake,
the British aviator and his companions
in the attempted flight around the
world took the air at 10:45 o’clock this
morning for Turin, Italy on the sec-
ond leg of their journey.
The itinerary of the flight called fox’
a stop at Lyons but the airmen who
are three days behind their schedule
due to their delay here, decided to at-
tempt a direct flight to Turin.
The DH-9 in which they are making
the first part of theix' world jaunt was
accompanied by a second plane which
arrived last nigit from England with
the spare parts for which Maj. Blake
had been waiting . The DH-9 was
thoroughly overhauled before taking
the air.
From Turin the aviators plan to fly
to Rome.

Los Angeles, May 27.—Irving Martin,
motion picture art director for Doug-
las Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, has

Japs Mutilated
to Avoid Army
Conscriptions
By Associated Press.
Tokio, May 27.—Self-mutilation to
avoid conscription for Japan’s army
and navy and a 36 per cent increase
of suicides among conscripts are fea-
tures of statistics on enforced mili-
tary and navy service given out re-
cently.
Out of 566,000 men examined for
service, 10,000 were found to be suf-
fering from disease and 384 were dis-
covered to be feigning physical un-
fitness. Some of these pretended to
be shortsighted, while a number had
cut off the lobes of their ears and some
had cut off a finger.
The plan for naval reductions im-
parts a special significance to this
year’s examination of conscripts which
will begin throughout the country next
month.
PLAN A "WHITE WAY”
ON TREMONT STREET
Question Being Seriously
Considered.
Although no definite action has been
taken as yet, a number of Tremont
street property owners and business
men are seriously considering the
question of making a “bright white
way” out of that busy thoroughfare, at
least fox' the summer months.
The matter of better lighting for
Tremont street—the only paved traffic
artery between the business section
and the beach—has been discussed
from time to time. It is now believed,
however, that the prospects of secur-
ing definite action are better than ever
before.
The main burden of lighting the
street would fall on the property own-
ers, with some assistance, perhaps,
from the city, it is thought. Ornamen-
tal lighting posts, such as those on
Broadway, would be erected at inter-
vals.
The increase in realty values which
would result from improved lighting
on Tremont street, it is declared,
would more than pay for the cost of
lighting.
PERU-CHILEAN AMITY.
"Definite Formulas” Settled Upon, Con-
ference States.
By Associated Press.
Washington, May 27.—Formal an-
nouncement that “definite formulas”
had been settled upon in the Chile and
Peruvian conference here was made
in a joint statement today after the two
delegations had resumed their sessions
for the first time in a week.
The announcement did not reveal in
detail the exact basis upon which the
conference at last has come to a direct
issue but it was understood that the
diplomatic “formulas” referred to
dealt directly with the question of Tac-
na-Arica and with problem of “fulfill-
ment” of the treaty of Ancon.
GERMAN LOAN RESTS
ON ATTITUDE TAKEN
Ultimatum Must Be Ac-
cepted, Bankers Say.
Paris, May 27.—(By the Associated
Press).—The committee of internation-
al bankers in session here Friday eve-
ning served notice on Germany that
further consideration of a billion dol-
lar loan to Germany is virtually out of
the question until Germany accepts in
full the conditions of the ultimatum of
the reparations commission, which ex-
pires May 31, and also gives adequate
guarantees that the inflation of Ger-
many’s currency will be stopped imme-
diately. The committee then decided
to adjourn until May 31 to await the
decision of Germany.
In reparation circles the review was
advanced that action of the financiers
probably would result in complete ac-
ceptance by Germany of all their .condi-
tions. It was further stated that ac-
quiescence by Germany in the repara-
tions commission’s conditions probably
would be productive of a loan of more
than a billion dollars, since the bank-
ers have determined that a large loan
could be arranged under those circum-
stances.

By Associated Press.
the
Tien Tsin, May 27.-—News from
field of military operations around
Shanhaikuan, northeast of this city is
of a most conflicting character. One re-
port is that Chang Tso Lin, the Man-
churian general, who recently issued a
declaration of independence, is with-
drawing all his troops from Chanhai-
kuan while another is to the effect that
he has reoccupied Changli, forty miles
further to the southwest.
General Wu Pei Fu’s army of Chihli
soldiers, victorious in their recent cam-
paign near Peking, have now reached
Iwanchow, requisitioning cars on the
Muksen railway for a general advance
to the north. The families of the rail-
way staff at Shanhaikuan are being
brought to Tien Tsin by steamer.
The British gunboat Blueshell is at
Chinwantao, a few miles southwest of
Shanhaikuan ready to land blue jackets
while the cruiser Curlew is off Peitaiho.
The United states Ship Albany remains

REPUBLICANS STRENUOUSLY TRY
TO BOLSTER PARTY FOLLOWING
REPUDIATIONS IN THREE STATES
Defeat of G. 0. P. Candida tes in Illinois, Indiana and
Pennsylvania Causes Worry Among Lead-
ers-Congress Drags Along.
Staff Special to the Tribune.
Washington, May 27.—Adverse political results in Illinois, In-
I 1 j
diana and Pennsylvania have been followed by strenuous efforts on
the part of Republican leaders to popularize the G. O. P. with the
country.
For one thing the house will be obliged to forego its plan to take
a rest beginning June 1, as had been planned, and will be kept right
at work on a multitude of small bills that will eventually be buried
in the senate’s cemetery for such measures.
President Harding’s White House dinners are being emulated by
leaders further down the line. While he is seeking means to quell
the rising storm of labor by getting rid of a twelve-hour day in the
steel industry and to placate farmers and shippers through a reduc-
tion in freight rates, Chairman John T. Adams of the national com-
mittee has adopted a luncheon policy that will bring him in touch
with the country’s leaders in various fields of activity who come to
Washington.
Mr. Adams, of course, is close to the White House. While Re-
publicans have ridiculed Col. E. M. House and the way he was sup-
posed to be Wilson’s source of private information before the split
between them, they are commending the course of Mr. Adams. He
is sounding out public sentiment daily at his luncheons with a view
to getting information that will be valuable both to the White House
and leaders in congress.
The decision to keep the house in session was announced fol-
lowing the Pennsylvania primary, but it had been under considera-
tion for several days.
Legislation outside the bonus and
tariff bills has been coming along more
slowly than counted on. Seven of the
twelve big appropriation bills remain
unpassed. Two of them, army and
navy, are yet to be debated in the sen-
ate, with fights awaiting both. The
independent offices, interior. District
of Columbia, postoffice and state and
justice supply bills are in conference.
The political situation has caused
leaders to give immediate attention, in-
American War
eterans
to Observe Memorial Day
Tuesday May 30, Memorial Day, will
be appropriately observed in Galveston
with a series of attractive programs in
which members of all local organiza-
tions of veterans: of the wars will par-
ticipate. The day has a two-fold pur-
pose, to eulogize the memory of the
fallen heroes of our country and to
cement together the veterans of the
Civil, Spanish-American and the world
war.
During Tuesday morning the vet-
erans will assemble on board the U. S.
S. ’Wheeling to strew flowers on the
bay in memory of those in the naval
service who perished during the wars.
In the afternoon the veterans will
assemble at the Episcopal cemetery,
and the service here will be sponsored
by the local post, American Legion. The
ritual of each organization will be
given, followed by the rendition of sev-
eral patriotic selections by’ a chorus of
200 children. The services will be held
over the grave of a selected soldier, as
has been the custom in other services.
All of the graves of veterans will be
decorated and marked with a flag sym-
bolic of the war and the branch in
Which they served.
MURPHY AND MADER
RELEASED ON BOND
“Czars of Labor War” Out
On $75,000 Each.
-
By Associated Press.
Chicago, May 27.—"Big Tim” Murphy
and Fred Mader, described as the czars
in what the police term a labor war,
today were ordered released from jail
on bonds of $75,000 each. They had been
confined in cells for eleven days after
their arrest and indictment for the
murder of Police Lieutenant Terrance
Lyons, one of two policemen shot to
death May 9 while investigating bomb-
ings believed to be in protest of the
Landis building trades wage award.
The order was issued by Judge Harry
B. Miller and ended a ten-day litigation
in which the state heretofore had been
successful in frustrating the efforts to
release the two labor leaders. The
habeas corpus hearing before Judge
Miller lasted two days, the state refus-
ing the present evidence on which the
men were held, saying that to do so
would weaken their case when the trial
came up. Judge Miller held that since
no evidence against them was present-
ed, he was compelled to exercise his
power to release them on bail.

Minister Tchitcherin whereby the sov-
iet government will except the Cath-
olic churches of Russia in their cam-
paign of requisitioning church treas-
ures for the famine relief fund, the
correspondent is informed. Instead,
the Russians will accept payment
equivalent to the value of the articles
from the vatican treasury.

UNIVERSITY LOANS
MONEY TO STUDENTS
Institution Never “Missed
a Cent.”
By the Associated Press.
Austin, Texas May 27.—Duringthe,
ten years of its existence the loan fund
operated by the engineering depart-
ment of the University of Texas has
never had a debit and has never lost
a cent on a loan.
This fund is maintained by donations
of the department. No outsider is al-
lowed to contribute to the fund; it is
strictly an engineer proposition.
Its purpose is to help engineering
students through the University.
All loans are limited to $200 to one
student and there is no time limit. In
the past, however, all loans have been
repaid within two years. The student’s
signature is all the security required.
The loan fund is operated by a board
of trustees of engineering students and
faculty members.
