late for the District, understand their
points of view, and that more sym
pathetic mutual feeling exists.
Designed as a purely informal social
function at which business men might
get better acquainted with members OF
the two Congressional committees with
out speechmaking or "shop talk the
affair lost none of its happy features
when a number OF speeches were made.

during the evening, Milton p. Ailes'
president responded for the club.
There Is much talk in business cir
cles today over the hit which Ed Walsh
made as POSTMASTER and conductor OF
ceremonies. Not only was he feature
of the entertainment, but he had gath
cred an array OF talent seldom seen or
heard In one place at any one time.

Munsey Writer Tells
Of War on SWindlerS

at may be recalled that about three
years ago Governor Hughes, now a JUS
tice of the United states Supreme Court,
appointed a committee to investigate
the stock and commodity exchanges OF
New York and collateral subjects. in
GLIDING the get-rich-uUick industry"
writes John Grant Dater in the finan-
,,ial department Of Munsey's Magazine
for March. I'm its report, among many
other things, this committee pointed out
that much of the success of the stock
swndlers has been made possible by
the ready acceptance of misleading and
fraudulent advertising by too many OF
our newspapers and magazines.
although no action followed the re-
port of the Hughes committee, 1t is en-:
couraginS to observe that this vital
matter has at last been taken up-not
by the State authorities, who have per-
mitted the Wholesale swindling to con-
tinue. but by advertising men, acting
in New York through the influential or
ganiZation OF the Advertising Men 6
League, and elsewhere through various
clubs and associations"

OLYMPIC SMASHES
INTO SUBMERGED
WRECK IN OCEAN
Blade Torn From Propeller,
But Levethian Proceeds
l.. at Top Speed.

SOUTHAMPTON, Feb. 27.-Steaming
along at top speed early today, the
White Star liner Olympic, largest of
ocean craft, smashed into a submerged
wreck, tearing a blade from her pro-
peller, according to a wireless message
received at the local offices of the line.
The first report said the big liner had
been seriously damaged, but would pro-
coed under her own steam to Belfast,
where she could be locked in the yards
where she was built. Shortly after
ward, however, the officials issued a
statement saying the only damage was
the loss of propeller blade; that the
big liner would make her regular port
calls and discharge her passengers be-
fore proceeding to the Irish port for
repairs. According to the reports, next
weeks sailing date will be kept by the
Olympic.
No particulars of the accident reached
here. This is the second mishap to the
big liner, as she narrowly escaped being
sunk in collision with the British cruiser
Hawke year ago. At the time she was
rammed by the warshp in the Solent
and limped back to port with her main
cargo hold filled with water.
The fact that there Is a sunken dere-
1ict in the ocean liners path caused
apprehension here and the admiralty
probably will try to locate and de-
stroy IL.
Among the prominent passengers on
the Olympic are Ambassador WhitelaW
Reid returning to his post in this coun-
try; William f. Corey, former head of
the United States Steel Corporation;
James B. Duke, organizer of the
American Tobacco trust: Oscar Levi
sohn and his wife, the former Edna
May, and other we'll known persons.
The vessel carries $50 first-class pas
.sengers.
, Late this afternoon officials declared
of
in a collision, and had merely thrown
Off one of her propeller blades.

LONDON, Feb. H-Members of the

among government officials that an un-

averted.

informed the miners that ID. A. Thomas,
millionaire operator of South Wales,
had agreed to accept the main demands

coal owners outside of Wales have
shown a willingness to make similar
concessions.
