Open Saturday Evenings Main Office 6 to 8:00 P. M. Branches Until 8 P. M. jflrttnrr &atungp; ans Company PARTY READY TO PASS SHIP SUBSIDY BILL Republican Leaders in House Iron Out Wrinkles as Desired by Harding. BOOZE FIGHT AVERTED WASHINGTON, June 17— Republican leaders of the House of Representatives prepared to foree action before the end of next week on the administration's ship subsidy bill. With only minor chauges, the measure teas reported from the merchant marine and fisheries committee by a rote of 0 to 4. The committee defeated the amendment of ltep resent at ire ltankhead of Alabama, to withhold aid to ships selling liquor on the high seas. The action of the committee was a complete fulfillment of the wishes of President Harding. Representative Campbell of Kansas, chairman of the Rules Committee, plauned to see the President today presumably on the procedure of the House on the measure. MONDELL CALLS HOUSE SESSION. Representative Moudell, of Wyoming. Republican lender, called into conference members in charge of piloting the ship subsidy bill through the House. While no decision was reached, the discussions was said to have developed strong expressions in favor of rapid action. In as far as the minority of the merchant marine and fisheries committee was given five days in which to make a report, there can be no action until next week. The Rules Committee, however, protably will meet on Monday to discuss the precdure under which the legislation shall be brought before the House. Failure of the Bankhpad amendment 'n the committee served to allay fears that the legislation would be hopelessly complicated by a “wet and dry" squabble. Representative Edmonds of Pennsylvania was preparing a counter atiack to meet Representative Bankhead's prospective effort to force his amendment in the bill on the floor of the House. The Pointsylvanian's proposal was to force pr< - hibition on foreign ships coming to American shores in competition w.tfi American vessels. The only amendment adopted incr'-ased from one-half to twothirds the proportion of Americans .o be employed on deck, and la th>- engineroom on vessles receiving aid. The vote on reporting the bill was on party lines. In rejecting the Bankhead amendment the - vote was the same. It was a vive voce vote. The report of the Republican majority said tlie situation with respect to world ship**:: g was different from that obtaining at any previous time. “NOi A in lMia> OF- IHI* st BsIDV." "It is not a question of whether we wish a merchant marine or not for we have a merchant marine. It is not a question of subsidy or no subsidy because to meet th- - Government's loss of a v~ar in the op-ration of our own merchant marine the people are being taxed tar beyond what would be M-od - ii v cr> the ships brought into efficient commercial operation." :.v *p o said th* report, is what is to be done with the present fleet so that with the least cost to taxpayers it may be made of the greatest use to the country as a whole both in peace and war. "The alternates," the reports continued. “are plain. Either make it possible for private enterprise to take this nucleus which we now have and add t • it until It becomes a great and efficient entity, an American merchant marine or refuse the relatively slight amount of aid necessary therefor, and continue at a great expense the inefficient methods of Government operation until the ship* are worn out." Continuation of the merchant marine, part Government ownc i and part iri vately owned, the report sn!d “simply means that the private owners will be driven out of business." Successful Government operation direct or indirect, the report said, "is an impossibility."

OFFERS BILL TO REPAY FINE IN WAR CASE Pennsylvania Member Appears in Behalf of New Jersey Contractor. GIVES REASON FOR ACT BY C. C. LYON. WASHINGTON. June 17.—Members of Congress have been wondering why George S. Graham, a Pennsylvania congressman, should be sponsoring “H. R--734S"—the bill to refund to Jacob Jacobson of Newark, N. J., the $.!,*,000 fine Jacobson's company paid in 1919, for violating wartime shipping regulations. “Why didn’t a New Jersey congressman introduce the relief bill for Jacobson?" is beiiig asked. "I introduced the bill for two reasons," said Graham today. "First, because I was asked to introduce it by Jacobson's attorney; secondly, because I felt that Jacobson was more sinued against than sinning. SHIPPED LIMBER IN OFFICER’S NAME. “The fine of $35,000 that was given him in the Federal Court of New Jersey, after he hail pleaded guilty for his companv, was on the Government’s contention that he had shipped lumber from the South to New Jersey in the name of certain Army officers on duty at New Jersey Army camps, and that ho hnd taken possession of the lumber on its arrival and sold it to contractors. This, the court held, was a violation of war regulations. •'To my mind, Jacobson in reality facilitated Government war operations. "The lumber was needed for the building of Army camps in New Jersey. Jacobson would have been unable to get the lumber shipped from the South to New Jersey if he had shipped it in his own name or the name of his company, because there was an embargo on such shipments at the time.” BILL REMAINS IN COMMITTEE HANDS. Graham's bill to refund Jacobson his $35,000 fine is still in the hands of a subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee. Four other New Jersey concerns were indicted on the same charge as the Metropolitan Lumber Company and Jacobsen and all pleaded guilty, as did JacobAll four, however, were given much smaller fines than Jacobson. The smallest < f the four was $3,730 and the largest st*.'Jso. None of the tour is seeking a refund through Congress. • The fines," said former t\ S. Assistant District Attorney Andrew J. Stellman of Newark, who conducted the prosecutions for the Government, "were regulated according to tbp court's idea ns to the size of the profits the various concerns hart made through their violations of the Elkins law.” BANDIT GARCIA AND ARMY OF 8 DIEIN ATTACK Attempt to Hold Up Southern Pacific Train Fatal to Mexicans.

POLITICIANS IN FEAR OF BOOZE SHIP SCANDAL Disclosures Expected to Have Their Effect When Primary Votes Are Cast. ADMIT INCONSISTENCY BY LEO R. SACK. WASHINGTON, June 17.—The "boozeship” disclosures whereby it was revealed that liquor is being openly sold and served dally under the American flag and American jurisdiction, may have their reflex in the coming elections, Republicans in Congress fear. Chairman A. I). Lasker of the United States Shipping Board, on whose ships—regarded in law as American territory—oil brands of drinks are being served, insists he will continue to sell alcoholic drinks. But G. O. P. politicians, up for re- <■' on say iie will not. They are afraid of sentiment “back home." They point our that folks will not willingly stand by and watch booze dispensed in one spot under the American flag, and with the sanction of tho Government, while they, themselves, are liable to arrest and imprisonment if they do the some thing in their home town. Congressmen admit the Governn*'■nt’s complete inconsistency and fear i: will but add to their worries in the coming campaign. This, however, Is only one of the complications. Senator Willis, Republican of Ohio, a steadfast party man. termed Lasker's action an "open Invitation to violate the laws up to the three-mile limit to the I'nlted States." "How can there be respect for the law If Government officials say ‘come on boys and Join us in violating the law,’” he asks ? DOPE SHEETS UPSET WITH M’NARY ACT Decision to Introduce Land Clause Amendment to Bonus Bill Significant. By W. lE, PORTERFIELD. WASHINGTON. June 17— Ail the dope sheets have been upset by the sudden decision of Senator McNary to introiltice his reclatua'ion bill ns an amendment constituting the "land settlement clause" of th<* soldier bonus bill. This action was decided upon ns the result of a little dinn r attended by prominent reclamationists. insidi sri<l out of Congress, at whb a lb.use Leader Monddell and Senator McNnry shook hands and agreed to compose thir differences ' Mondell, who proposts to be Senator from Wyoming, after twenty-four years in the lower house, is anxious not to antagonize the Western reclamationists He was, therefore, glad enough of an excuse to Join hnnds with ttie Senate reclamationists and bonus boosters who are trying to get their measures through Congress this session. A thorough canvass of both houses seem* to indicate the omnibus bill, carrying a bonus for the soldiers and reclamation f r everybody, will pas* both house* and go to the White House some time in July. The wheels seem to be greased and Mondell reports privately that the prealdent, while not favorable to the bonus bill, in the face of a JIOOIIOO.OOO deficit, will at bast think twice before he vetoes the hopes of the soldi* rs and the reclamatlontst* in one fell swoop of his pen.
