SHIPPING POLICY IS THROWN INTO TANGLE

Attorney-General's Decision Brings Task of Revamping of Government Plans f

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. Attorney-General Daugherty advised Preseldent Coolidge ThurBday that the Lasker-Farley plan for solving the merchant marine problem is not legal, thus once more throwing into the laps of government officials the task of formulating a shipping policy. Under the shipping act, the attor

ney-general held, the government's vessels may be disposed of only for

rash or credits, and their transfer, as proposed by the Lasker-Farley plan, to corporations organized un

der any state laws would be unlawful. Limits Disposition The Intention of Congress, he declared, limits disposition of the fleet to actual sales and not transfers ot

title. Receipt of cash, or credit extending not over fifteen years, is an exprs limitation of law, the opinion added. Many complications In the Lasker-

Farley plan were cited by Mr. Daugherty. Among these were loss of legal title to the proposed corporations,

loss or direction of the fleet by re

sponsible federal officials, loss of the

government's Immunity from suits

and possible imposition of state taxes and state regulation upon government property. "These considerations," said the ruling, "impel me to the opinion that it was not the intention of Congress to authorize the executive branch to organize corporations to take title to the government's ships and in the place of responsible control by the

No Pain Like That of Rheumatism Health Talk No. 24 By J. D. Goldsberry, D. C. Tho man or woman who Buffers from chronic rheumatism knows the full meaning of pain from center to circumference. There are the hours and the days of continuous dull pain, broken only hy the sharp-spasms when the ogony becomes so severe asto lie almost unendurable.

The chiropractic spinal adjustment for all forms of rheumatism is kidney place In combination with local adjustments to normalize the nerves leadingto the affected parts. The chiropractor brings the rheumatic back to health by eliminatingthe cause.

Well After Ten years' Suffering "My daughter. Violet, was ill ten years with rheumatism. During lu r last attack she was bedfast seven months, suffering unspeakable pain. Medical doctors said her case was hopeless. We tried chiropractic and she experienced some relief after the first few adjustments.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. Broadening of the scope of medical exam

inations which aliens must undergo in entering the United States was

recommended by Assistant Secretary

Wadsworth of the treasury, in a report to Secretary Mellon. The assistant secretary, who has charge of the public health service) urged "the application of the socalled intensive examination to every incoming immigrant rather than to those who patently require such a physical survey. . Mr.-Wadsworth made an inspection of Ellis island last week. He

characterized the medical examination as of vital importance to the country, and criticized facilities at the island station as being inadequate. To the end that the work may be done thoroughly he recommended that Mr. Mellon join with Secretary Davis of the department of labor in asking an appropriation for the construction of additional housing space to accommodate an expanded measure of health precaution. He also suggested that steamship companies be penalized for transporting to this country persons clearly barred by statutes. "There seems little excuse," Mr. Wadsworth said, "for the transporting to this country of individuals

clearly insane when they arrive, or suffering from some loathsome di

sease which according to the immigration laws makes their admittance impossible." As a step in preparation for the future influx of aliens, which he said showed no signs of abatement, the assistant secretary proposed improvement of the hospital at Ellis

island.

WASHINGTON, Sept 22. Presi

dent Coolidge favors consolidation

of the railroads of the country into a limited number of great regional

systems. - ;

The White House views became

known Thursday, following an ex tended conference between the presi

dent and Nathan Amsler, of Boston, president of the National Railway League, an old friend with whom the

executive discussed the railroad problem at length and with frankness. It is believed President Coolidge will express his belief in. railroad

consolidation in addressing Congress, and that the subject of railroads will have an Important place in his first message. The president believes in mergers, first, because to his mind they will make possible material reductions in commodity rates, which he holds to be imperative; secondly, because he thinks they will assure security

holders a fair return; and finally, because he thinks they promise great improvement of transportation service. ' i '

WOMEN'S MEETING

DRAWS LARGE CROWD

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Sept' 24. An enthusiastic crowd gathered at the Superior courthouse last Saturday evening where! a well-known speaker delivered an address on Americanism that was received with great interest The meeting -was held by the Women of the Ku Klux Klan and

men and women from all parts of

Laporte county were present. Following the speech the crowd was invited to Washington park to witness the further exercises of the evening. A large fiery cross was burned and

made a beautiful sight in the night sky with Lake Michigan for a background. While the cross was burning, a woman with a very beautiful voice sang "The Old Rugged Cross" and as the emblem burned low all heads were bowed in prayer.

The meeting was adjourned after the singing of "America" by the en

tire crowd.

shipping board substitute a management by directors of- private corporations amenable to the laws of another sovereignly." Definite Program The opinion emphasized that Congress had laid down a definite national merchant marine policy of government ship operation until the ships shall be sold and that provisions giving the shipping board authority to make rules and regulations in carrying out this policy did

not confer additional powers. "It was quite evidently the intention of Congress to authorize a sale for cash or on credits not to exceed

fifteen years from the making of the contract of sale," he added. "An exchange whereby the government receives shares of stock in return for its ships is not a sale and quite obviously does not meet the condition." Corporations, Mr. Daugherty added, are legal entities, and their stockholders are without legal title to their property, often without means of controlling corporate policies. "It must be admitted," the opinion contended, "that under the present proposal (the Lasker-Farley plan)

the government will in a real and substantial sense part with title to its vessels."

Favors Rail Adjustment The president is. quoted as having expressed himself strongly in favor of readjustment of the entire railroad rate structure. He does not intend . that the financial stability of the roads shall be impaired, but believes a heavier share of the burden can be placed on higher priced commodities, and freight rates on basic

products, like farm commodities lightened that much. This plan has the support of Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, wbo advocates it as one means of relieving the agricultural distress.

The president is not committed at all to detailed plans of consolidation. Whether it should be compulsory he will decide in the future. He did not indicate whether he believes Congress should amend the EsehCummins act to make consolidation compulsory. For the time being, mergers may be made, the interstate

commerce commission agreeing, but carriers are not compelled to go into them. Entertains Emphatic Views

With regard to the New England

situation, as difficult and complex as any part of the railroad problem, President Coolidge entertains emphatic views against one suggested course of merging all the roads into one system and operating them as a New England unit. He believes competition should be maintained. A most important phase of the transportation problem, in the presi

dent's- judgment, is the question of freight rates. He has been advised that agriculture is -strangled to a de

gree by the excessive costs of mov

ing farm products, and similar representations are made as to other basic commodities. The president is convinced, according to word Thursday, that the railroads, taken by and large, can not effect horizontal rate reductions without losses which they can not afford. This seems to be true particularly of the lines engaged in moving the heavy grain products from field to market and ports to

exjfcirt.

Study Roads Problem It is understood that the president's advisors are studying thej'ailway problem and analyzing it with care. They will not -be ready to report to him for weeks. But before Congress meets, they will lay before him an exhaustive analysis of the entire situation, with proposals for legislation.

(Special to The Fiery Cross)

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 24.

The final outdoor celebration of the

season by tho Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Wisconsin will bo staged here on September 29, when the Milwaukee Klan will be hosts to the Klansmen of Wisconsin and

neighboring states. The celebration will be held at Pleasant Valley park and preparations to entertain 50,000 visitors are now practically completed. Imperial Wizard Evans will be the guest of honor. A magnificent program has been completed, and from 1 o'clock to midnight the day will be replete with entertaining features of great variety. Klan bands will furnish the music.

An Imperial officer of high rank will

be the guest of honor and speaker of

the day. In addition to refreshments

served at the booths and stands,

chicken dinners will be served to those who make reservations in ad

vance. There will also be an oldfashioned southern barbecue, and two whole steers browning above the firepit will provide thousands of appetizing sandwiches. To Initiate One Thousand In the evening a magnificent display of fireworks including aerial

bombs and special, designs will be on the program. At night two large flaming crosses will shed their glow

over the ceremonial and naturalization which will be conducted by the officers of the Racine Klan. One thousand candidates will be initiated.

The fact that this is a final outdoor!

celebration of the season for the V .

Wisconsin Klana will assist greatly

in swelling the attendance. Small American flags will be distributed to : every person on the grounds, and the - . profusion of flags will be such as has never before been seen in Wisconsin. Large delegations are expected from . Chicago, Waukegan, Rockford, Freeport, Madison, Racine, Kenosha, Beloit, Janesville, Monroe, Milwaukee, Whitewater, Fort Atkinson, Sheboygan, Green Bay, Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, Elkhorn, and many other towns

and cities too numerous to mention. ...

In coming from Chicago by auto, Klansmen have been notified to take Highway Fifteen to National avenue, :. Milwaukee, and then to turn west on the latter roadway to Woodlawn avenue, where guide flags will direct to ' the park. -

COLUMBUS TO HAVE HOMECOMING SEPT. 29

COLUMBUS, Ind., Sept. 24. September 29 will be homecoming day In Columbus, it has been announced by the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Preparations have been under way to make it one of the biggest days Columbus has ever known. From present indications it is expected that many thousands of Klansmen will be in this city on that day. An elaborate- program has been prepared on which some of the most fluent speakers will apjiear. There will be bands, fireworks and many other features on the day's program.

KLANSMEN CONDUCT FUNERAL BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Sept. 25. Sixty Klansmen in full regalia accompanied the body of Joseph Stine of Ellettsville to the cemetery at Chambersville, near here, recently, and held last rites at the grave. Among the many floral tributes was a fiery cross of red roses.

The-'criticism, which was leveled at the general program of consolidation which Mr. Harding indorsed, is being taken into account, and merger plans are being revamped to obviate this criticism so far as possible. But just what specifications for

making..a consolidation program effective will be urged upon the presi

dent and what may be indorsed by him, can not yet be forecast. The Railroad problem will be one ot the mo3t important, if not the most important, domestic issue before the next Congress, and President Coolidge, as with other majc-r issues, is turning his consideration to it in good time, to be ready with a program when the legislators convene.
