2 SENATOR IMPUGNS BECKER'S MOTIVE IN GERMAN PROBE Reed, of Missouri, Sees Poli tics in Investigation of Propaganda By Associated Press Washington, Dec. 21. Most of yesterday's sessions of thp Senate committee investigating German i, propaganda was taken up with tills 1 between Alfred L. Becker, assistant : uttorney general of New York, and Senator Reed, of Missouri, who is not a member of the committee. Senator Heed, In cross-examining the New York official, who had been on the stand two days, charged that Merton E. Lewis, attorney general of New York, and Becker misused their official positions in making public information contained in af fidavits secured by them under spe cial war legislation. These affidavits referred to aliened meetings of Wil- j liani Randolph Hearst with 8010 Pasha, executed In France as traitor, j and former Ambassador Von Bern- i Btorff. - . Denies Heed's Charge Mr. Becker denied the charge, saying that the affidavits made pub lic were not secured under the spe cial legislation. He said that cer tain disclosures purporting to show association of Hearst and 8010 were made public "for what a frankly ■ admit were political purposes." He justified this course on the ground , that their publication was In tho ! public interest. The information under discussion I was given to New York newspapers I mainly in August, September and Oc- I tober when Becker was a candidate i for the Republican nomination for | attorney general of New York state, • and Attorney General Lewis was a | candidate for the Republican nomi- I nation for governor against Charles I S. Whitman. It appeared from the cross-examination that Hearst was I considered a supporter of Whitman I and Senator Reed sought to show | that Lewis and Becker attended to . damage Whitman by attacking I Hearst. Senator Reed read from a New York newspaper of July 31, 1917, a story telling of 8010 Pasha's atten tion to a Metropolitan opera singer, t a Spanish woluan, whose relations with 8010 were declared by Becker to be entirely blameless. In this story was a letter^?rom 8010 to the singer mentioning "my friend. Mrs. Millicent Hearst." Mr. r Becker admitted having given to the papers lite statement containing , this letter. Interesting as Item of News "What was the purpose of giving I it out at this particular time?" in- j quired Senator Reed. 'lt was an interesting itsm of I news which I thought the public j would be glad to read," Mr. Becker j replied, smiling. "Was there no purpose to connect Hearst with Bolo?" "I had regarded the purpose to show the connection of Hearst with German propagandists as more in teresting to the public than, the dis closure of Bolo's attentions to tho opera singer." Becker added, shouting to drown Senator Reed's voice: 'I think it should have been done a long time before." Senator King, of Utah, then ask ed: "Did you attempt to prejudice the public against Whitman by | showing his connection with Hearst?" Mr. Becker replied:' "It w'as Lewis' campaign committee which did this." Defies Missouri Senator When the cross-questioning was interrupted by adjournment, to bo resumed this morning. Senator Reed asked Mr. Becker to produce vouch ers showing expenses incurred by state secret service agents in ob- j taining depositions in the investi- , gation of Bolo's activities in the United States. The witness stated with heat that he would "do no such thing" as they were confidential. Throughout most of the cross-ex amination by Senator Reed, mem bers of the subcommittee In charge of the investigation sat silent, and at one time two of them lcaren for ward with their heads iu their hands.

VESSELS NOW IN WAR SERVICE TO CARRY COMMERCE German Passenger Ships in Ports Needed to Carry Troops to America Paris, Dec. 21.—As a result of con ferences between Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the American Shipping Board, and General Pershing, plans have been perfected whereby approx imately 1.000,000 tons of shipping now used to supply the Ameri can Army in France soon will be re leased for American trade. There arc more than 150,000 tons of ship ping now lying at, American docks, and the increasing need of providing for the products of American fac tories which have turned from a war time to a peaco basis has made some immediate move necessary. The American authorities are pressing for control of German pas senger ships tied up in Hamburg and oth:r ports, so that they may bo used in taking home American troops. The total capacity of all passenger ships at present at the disposal of the American Government will per mit the return home of about 100,000 men a month. If the German pas senger ships can be secured, it is estimated that this number can be Increased to 150,000 men monthly. The American officials here attach the greatest importance to the need of supplying merchant tonnage to industries in the United Stutes. It is understood that the British insurance rate will bo reduced soon approxi mately to 25 per cent, as a stimulus to British industries. A similar step is being urged with regard to Amer ican insurance rates.

FREDA WEICHMAN SHOT TO DEATH; LETTERS BETRAY Investigation Shows Gun to Have Been Held Close to Head By Associated Press Muskegon, Mich., Dec. 21.— The girl identified as Frieda Weichman, because of whoso death Milo 11. Piper, local insurance agent, is held here on a murder charge, was killed by a shot gun, the police announced to-dny. Investigation shows, the police said that the gun was held close to her head. The police declared also that whil e searching Piper's home here last night they found a shot gun. The police announcement supple ments the findings of three physi cians who perlormed an autopsy on the body Thursday. It was announc ed ut that time merely that the girl's skull had been crushed. The origin of what the police de clare to bo hoax letters recently written and purporting to come from the Wcichuian gitd, was being in vestigated to-day. one of these letters, written on the stationery of a Chicago hotel, but enclosed In an envelope from anoth er hostelry, says Miss Weichman Is aliv e and well. The writer adds that she was not married to Milo H. Piper, btt had become the wife of "Goldberg" and that she "would not show herself" unless it was neces sary to prove Piper's innocence. That the letters are not genuine, the authorities say !s proved by com parison of the handwriting with that in communications received by Miss Weiehman's aunt from the girl dur ing the automobile trip which Piper has admitted they made in the sum mer of 1916. Another discrepancy, the police say, is in the spelling of th e girl's given name. Although they had given it out as "Frieda" it prop erly should be spelled "Freda," thev declare, adding that the letters re cently received carry the signature "Frieda."
