DEMANDS SHIP BOOKS IN ROW ABOUT SCHWAB Walsh Acts to Learn Whether Personal Expense Was Charged to U. S. GRACE DENIES CHARGE NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—Following: further testimony given before the Walsh Congressional Committee by Eugene G. Grace, president of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation, today, Chairman Joseph Walsh of the committee asked for nil papers and records of the concern as .effecting its business relations with the United States Shipping Board and the Emergency Fleet Corporation. Chairman Walsh said that the committee wanted to clean up definitely the status of the voucher for $269,543.53 declared to have been for the personal expenses of Charles M. Schwab for the month of October, 1918, when he was head of the Emergency Fleet Corporation. Two witnesses have testified §IOO,OOO of tl is amount was charged off by the Bethlehem corporation to ship construction for the fleet corporation. SCHWAB PRESENT AT SESSION. Schwab, Grace and Fan! I>. Cravath, general counsel for the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, were present when the session opned. Grace said that at no time had it been Intended by the Bethlehem corporation to charge the item of SIOO,OOO to the Emergency Fleet Corporation and thar the whole voucher amount was purely a company business matter. He said its final disposition, as shown by the books, was at the disposal of the comptrollers. He reiterated that, as a matter of fact, the amount had been charged oft on the profit and loss account. PHOTOGRAPHIC COPY SUBMITTED. Mr. Grace submitted a photographic copy of the voucher which proved, according to this copy, to have written across its face, “For special expenses, 1 * Indicating that it was not, as testified, for the personal expenses of Schwab. Grace denied that there had been on the books of the corporation §339,000 of misplaced accounts, as bad been testified by Ferley Morse, head of the auditing firm which was working on the books of the corporation until the audit was stopped, at the time the §209,000 voucher was discovered. F. A. Shick, comptroller of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation and all snb : eidiaries, declared that Schwab never received any money from the Government for expense, and that it was definitely arranged before he accepted the position of director general of the Fleet Corporation that none of his expenses would be charged to that organization. MAKES NEW MOVE FOR DISARMAMENT WASHINGTON, Jan. 25—Another step toward disarmament negotiations was taken by Senator Borah today. He introduced a resolution calling upon the Naval Affairs Committee for a report on the practicability of suspending the naval bnl.diug program for the next six months. The Senate passed the resolution. “Great Britain hag suspended her building program for six months,” said Borah. “1 want to know if the Naval Affairs Committee has considered this matter. If the report is not satisfactory I will ask a full investigation.” A 5 per cent bond issue of $30,000 000.000 to refund outstanding government debts and provide for a soldier bonus is provided in a bill introduced in the house by Representative Patterson of New Jersey. The issue would be offered to the public and be tax exempt. BUDGET SYSTEM IS CASUS BELLI WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—The budget system is looming up as the casuß belli Ip a war for power in the next Congress. Republican leaders are preparing to fight for changes in the present system of appropriations when the new Congress meets at the call of Presidentelect Harding, In the spring. They declare the present budget system Is placing the control of Congress in the hands of a few men. Chairmen of the Appropriations subcommittees can block legislation through their check of appropriations, it is contended.

PRAISE GIVEN BALKANS FOR PEACE SPIRIT (Continued From Pag* One.) the sin a U countries. To them the league Is a reality. “They were ready to demonstrate their faith in it. That was 6hown strikingly when the question of admitting Bulgaria was proposed. The application was opposed by Greece, Serbia and Rouinania. An allied commission made inquiries as to whether Bulgaria was carrying out her treaty obligations. The report was faTorable aud it was then plain that there was no good reason for continuing to refuse to admit Bulgaria. Immediately that was perceived, the three countries not only withdrew their opposition. but actively supported the application. Bulgaria was then admitted. “Ton can see what that means. The Balkans have long been the plague spot of Europe. The jealousies and ambitions of these little states have been a constant source of peril, but now that should be at an end. -The Balkan states are loyal members of the league, pledged to submit their disputes to It and abide by its decisions. “The South American republics are equally interested. China also is interested, although China is a giant In territory and population. General disarmament cannot be secured without general agreement. General agreement, to be effective, must provide some machinery, such as that provided by the league. “Therefore, until all nations are members of the league, the difficulties in the way of disarmament are enormous. One can only hope that the more outside nations see of the league in action the more they will realize it Is a living force." Teacher Surprises Neighbor in House . Special to The Times.

To a half-pint of water add 1 ounce bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and % ounce glycerine. These Ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost. Apply to the hair twlqe a week until the desired shade is obtained. This will make a grayhalred person look twenty years younger.

SPLIT PRIMARY REPORT LIKELY Committee Takes Up Conflicting Bills With Division Considered Sure. Members of the Committee on Elections of the State Senate were expected to meet this afternoon to go over the two primary bills now before them, one providing for radical limitation of the primary ] system snd the other for its extension, j The meeting was to be the first since the public hearing on the bills last week. It was the hope of the committee that it would be able to reach a final agree- j ment and report the bills out. That there i will he a divided report was considered j certain. The defense of the direct primary is not a political matter In the opinion of | Edward C. Toner of Anderson, who is de- j fending the present law. “I am satisfied that most of the Dem- j ocrats In both houses of the Legislature are friendly to the direct voting, and the ! Republican State platform commits the | party to the system and advocates the revision—meaning, ‘improvement’ of the ; law,” he said. NO APPEAL TO FACTIONALISM. "Let me add that there Is no appeal j to factionalism within the Republican j party. “I have letters from many sections of j the State and I have reports that prac- | tically cover the State. The rank and j file of both parties is determined that j there shall not be a step backward. j “The Beardsley bill is not only n j violation of present-day notions of dl- j reel voting, but in its detail is wholly j Impracticable. “It provides that if one of the political parties in any county should want j a direct primary it could have the same j by the county committeemen of that j party petitioning for It. “Suppose the republicans of any | county should elect to have a primary. I The fact that they so elected would determine the Democrats not to have a primary and then the Democrats would j flock Into the primary hooths and In a measure determine the Republican ticket. ; “Does that sort of situation Commend Itself to our good Judgment? “The Beardsley bill, as originally In- j troduced, has been modified so as to j make the delegate primaries more ‘eco- j nominal.'
