Talk already is heard that great
merchant marine can be built up with
out subsidies and this amendment win
not tend to strengthen the proposed
subsidy legislation. OF course, friends
of subsidies will argue that subsidies
are needed regardless of any action
beneftting the coastwise shipping.
What Free Tells Mean.
What 1t means to vessel to be able
to so through the canal free of tolls
may easily be calculated. For instance,
at $3.50 per ton. a 5000 ton vessel
would have to pay $500 for going
through the canal If subject to tolls.
A vessel not paying tolls would be
that much ahead, in other words. The
reduction it could make on freight
rates obviously would be considera-
BILE.
The navy department now has to
keep up Golfers and there is a cry
for more Golfers for use in war time.
In the last war the government took
over many vessels but paid extrava-
CANT sums for them. II would not

Special to the Independent

Special to the Independent
Little Rock, Nov. 22.-Dudley
Miller, a young man who was
employed as money order clerk
in the Argenta branch of the
Little Rock postofice, was con-
victed in federal court Tuesday,
in 26 counts, Of embezzlemerlt
of postal funds, and Justification
of his records in an effort to
conceal his populations. There
were SO counts against him, but
by the advice of the court, the
government stopped the intro
duction of evidence after TWEEN
ty-six counts had been heard.
He will be sentenced Thursday.
His plan was to change the
amount in the application to
read SIS instead of $50, issue
the order for $50, and then
make his record agree with the
altered application, settling with
the superintendent for the small
Ter amount. The $40, according
to the evidence, he would put in
his own pocket. His only de-
Tense was that he was physical
ly weak, and that he knew no
thing whatever about the
changes being made in the ap-
plications, ard that he never
misappropriated any funds.

Little Rock, Nov. 22.-By
planking down a sum of money
in the proximity Of 100000 Da-
vid A. Gates, vice president,
Henry Thane, secretary, and w.
j. Savage, treasurer of the
Southern Telephone Company,
Tuesday afternoon became the
owners of the minority stock in
the corporation held by A. B.
Banks and others, and a plan to
dispose of the company to the
Southwestern Telegraph and
Telephone Company was, tempo
rarily at least, baked;
According to the three new
owners of the minority stock,
who were already the owners OF
the majority stock, the South
western Telephone and Tele-
graph Company is not to be the
owner of the concern, though
they admit negotiations have
been on for the transfer.
The Southern Telephone Com
pany controls most of the indie
pendent lines in Arkansas, hay
ing exchanges in all sections OF
the state. From meetings which
ARE still being held, it seems as
though the negotiations with
the Southwestern company are
not off, but the officials OF the
Southern company intimate
they will hold to their possess
|sions.
