MacvEAGH MEETS OBSTACLE.
of Ports of Entry
Meets Snag.

Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh' s
custom reorganization plans which pro-
vide for the elimination Of a number of
ports of entry and customs collectors in
places where the collection of customs
was maintained at a dead loss to the
government, met with an obstacle to-
day when 1t became known that Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor Nagle had
made demand that a number of these
ports be continued for the purpose of
carrying out the United States navigation
regulations. Mr.. MacVeagh's plans was
to wipe out all customs collection Of
fees where the government did business
at loss. Previous reports on the SUBJ
ject developed the fact that some of
these customs offices were maintained at
large expense though yielding the gov
eminent only VIGOROUSLY small amount
of revenue.
Commissioner of Navigation Chamber
lain is now going over the list of those
which Secretary Macveagh proposed TO
abolish and striking from It all those
which, in his opinion. will have to be
retained In order to carry out the Federal
shipping laws. Congress gave the Secre-
tary of Treasury the right to abolish any
of these Offices that his department saw
fit and ordered him to make report
at the next session. Congress reserved
the right to veto any additions that he
may make.

MAY TRANSFER CASE.
Objection to Judge Putnam Hearing
Shoe Machinery Litigation.

1t was learned yesterday that the gov
eminent contemplates removing from the
court of Judge Putnam, at Boston. the
antitrust prosecution instituted against
the United Shoe Machinery Company.
Such action Is under consideration, 1t is
said. because of the ruling OF Judge
Putnam that rulings In the United Shoe
case should be held in private. There
is no law prohibiting secret hearings of
the kind. but 1t is charged that the Put
nam ruling Is unprecedented.
Representative Norris. the Nebraskan
Progressive. said that he will: introduce
a bill in Congress next winter prohibit
ing the issuance Of rulings such as that
made by Judge Putnam.
ct was surprised to find. upon exami-
nation" said Mr.. Norris to-day. that
there is no statute prohibiting secret
court hearings. There certainly ought
to be. In the Shoe Machinery case l
believe the Department Of Justice has
ample reason to invoke the provision of
filing an affidavit for its removal from
a prejudiced court. The Judge was do
ing his best to protect the defendant
There are biased remarks all through the
court record and opinion. The issuance
of an order for a secret hearing was
without precedent"
