BIG FIGURE IS SET
BY CANAL COMPANY
Chesapeake and Delaware Waterway
Worth S4,59l.4 Officials Tell
Investigating Committee.

Representatives OF the proprietary in
terests OF the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal told a Senate committee yesterday
that the value Of their holdings would
aggregate s4.591,4l2. The canal property
has been offered 10 the government Tor
s. COO. .00e. The House of Representatives
declined to authorize the payment of so
large a sum and fixed the limit Of cost at
s, ,SO0, 900.
The Senate Committee on Coast and
Insular Survey, of which Senator Willard
Salisbury is chairman, has been given
authority to inquire into the ownership
of the canal, the cost Of its construction.
and ascertain and report where its stocks
and bonds are held. The committee yes
terday afternoon heard Walter Hall, sec
retary and treasurer of the canal COM
pany, and representatives of the COM
pany. Mr.. Hall testified that the con-
struction of the canal cost SS,9S9. .360; that
the canal company owned real estate
valued at s3o,3o5; that it had investments
of sis.1SO. outstanding accounts or bills
receivable of about $4,000, and cash on
hand of approximately $4,000.
The company has charged on profit and
loss s4S3,0oo. There are outstanding bonds
of s. 6O2, $50, and stock has been issued to
the amount Of s,so3,O0O. The par value
Of the bonds is 800, but the highest price
that they have sold for recently is sss.
The secretary testified that they had sold
as low as 81. The par value of the stock
is $50, but at the last sale of the stock
it brought but "a a share.
The records of the company and testi-
mony of its officers disclosed that the
bonds and stocks are distributed very gen.
orally and there are many small hold
ings- Apparently there is no important

SENATOR THOMAS INTIMATES
BRIST0W MEASURE WILL WIN

Senator Thomas. of Colorado. chairman
of the Woman Suffrage Committee of the
Senate. intimated yesterday that the Bris-
ment will be reported TO the Senate in
stead of the one introduced by his COL
league. Senator Shafroth.
The Bristow resolution is identical
with that recently considered and in my
judgment the only one to be reported
favorably to the Senate" said Senator
Thomas. 1T cannot be improved upon,
either in phraseology or in purpose"
Senator Shafroth's resolution was in
tended to meet the objections OF those
Senators who insist that the people of
the States should determine for them
selves whether they desire equal suffrage.
and that II should come as the result
Of State action. instead OF in the form
of a Constitutional amendment to the
Federal Constitution. which would impose
equal suffrage on the States in some in
stances against their will.
Mrs. Medill Mccormick decided on the
form of the Shafroth resolution, after
the Senate had rejected the suffrage
resolution for which Mrs. Mccormick and
her friends have been working. The Shaf-
roth resolution provide that whenever
per cent OF the voters of State petition
for an election on the question of woman
suffrage, the State authorities shall be
required to call such an election and SUBJ
NIT the question of woman suffrage to
the voters

SUFFRAGE CHAIRMEN
REPORT CONDITIONS
Mrs. Medill Mccormick Interested in
Marytand-Virginia Situation Which
Dealt Blow to Cause"

Mrs. Medill Mccormick, chairman of
the Congressional committee Of the Ma
tional Suffrage Association. was in con-
ference yesterday with chairman Of Con-
gressionaI committees of various States.
Reports were received from women who
mad been investigating conditions in
Maryland, New Jersey. Delaware. Penn
sylvania. West Virginia, and Virginia.
Mrs. Mccormick was particularly in
terested in the reports from Maryland
and Virginia, where the request for sub
mission of suffrage amendment to the
voters was denied. According to the
reports the denial of the legislatures to
allow the people to express their views
on this subject at the polls has spurred
women on to renewed efforts. The Con-
gressional committee was also keenly in
terested in reports from certain Con-
gressional districts. where women have
been working along lines which. they say,
ir sure favorable consideration OF Federal
legislation by the next Congress.
Mrs. McCormi, said that Congress
ional candidates now are aware of the
Importance of the suffrage movement
Candidates of all parties are eagerly
seeking the support of the women who
are in politics., said she, and very
few of them do or say anything that
might incur the opposition of woman suf-
fragists. Quite a number OF candidates
have promised the women that they will
support any movement looking to the
of the suffrage question TO the
people"
The most gratifying reports. It was
cFme from Pennsylvania and New
Jersey. where friend already has
been elected in every Congressional dis
trict. Arrangements have been made for
a big meeting in Independence Square.
Philadelphia, and Senator Boies Penrose.
\. Mitchell Palmer. and
Clifford PinchOt. all candidates for the

SHIPBUILDING CONCERN
TAKES Up huff CASE
Officials See Daniels and Are Told
There Are No Charges Against
Company.
SECRETARY MAKING INQUIRY

Charges made in connection with the
case Of Lieut.. Commander Charles p
Huff. L. S. N. involving the Newport
News Shipbuilding and Drydock Com
pany, yesterday brought to the office OF
Secretary Daniels President A. L. Hop
kins and Vice President Ferguson. of the
company.
The company officials told the Secretary
they had seen newspaper reports to the
effect that the fight between Hun and
]. Philip Kiesecker. chief of the corre-
spondence division of the company. real
ly was due to the fact that Kiesecker
had been assigned by the company to
reach Hun through social attentions,
and induce him to be less rigid in his
inspections of the work done on the
battleship Texas. then nearing compile
ton at the Newport News yards. They
asked Mr.. Daniels TO inform them what
charges, if any, they were to consider as
lying against their company.
Secretary Daniels told them there are
no charges against the company in con-
nection with the Hun case. He pointed
out to them the statement made by
Commander Pollock. Huff's counsel at his
trial, to the effect that Hufr's loyalty to
the government was costing the COM
pany 5000 a day, as he was holding up
the acceptance of the Texas The Off
cials made a copy of this sentence. which
is the only reference in the entire court
record to the relations between Huff and
the company.
The Secretary also said he had written
to Commander Pollock, calling on him
for an explanation of his statement. Mr..
Daniels indicated to the officials he was
making every effort to ascertain all the
facts in the case with regard to the
inferences which have been drawn re-
garding the company's attitude toward
HUFF.
Access to the record OF the Hun court
martial was demanded by the representa-
tives Of the company, and they were per-
mitted to go over IL. They informed
Secretary Daniels they would be back to
see him early this morning.
Officers are inclined to think Com
mander Pollock. when he comes to COM
ply with the Secretary's demand for an
explanation Of his reference to Hun and
the company. will not endeavor to show
that the relations between the naval Off
Ger and the battleship builders was the
real cause Of the clash between Hun and
Kiesecker. 1t is pointed out that Com
mander Pollock made no attempt TO in
troduce evidence along this line. nor did
he in any way base his argument for
the defense upon these assertions.

HOPE FOR THOSE In
LOAN SHARKS" GRASP
W. H. Baldwin Reassures Borrowers
that They Need Not Repay
Entire Principal.
WOULD BAR THEM FROM MAILS

Are you still in the clutches of the
loan shark
If so. are you paying back the whole
principal either because you wish to pay
this debt like any other. or because of
some threat from the loan company?
II you are a statement made yester-
day by W. II. Baldwin, chairman OF the
the passage of the present loan shark
law. would be of interest to you Mr..
Baldwin says the law does not require
you to repay more than three-lourths u
the principal.
The committee feels il necessary to
again remind borrowers that they are
under no obligations to pay back more
than thrcc-fourths of the principal of any
high-intcrest loan made since the law
took effect more than a year ago, said
he "and that they need not be disturbed
by any threats as to any payments now
falling due"
that borrowers had been threatened
within the last week and said he believed
many uninformed persons had fallen
for il This was what caused the
chairman to repeat the warning to bor-
rowers. He made a round OF few loan
offices yesterday just TO see what was
going on. He found. he declared, that
some people were still making payments
on old loans that come within the benev-
oIent purpose of the new law and that
they were paying interest rates as high
as 800 per cent. The rate OF interest
still being paid by many, he says, aver
ages 10 per cent
Mr.. Baldwin told of one District loan
company. which he declares had made
net profit of $3l. 600 on $4,000 in less than
A wear. One manager told him he did
not know his boss, that all his corre-
spondence was done with a postoffice box
in Chicago, Ill.

to stop such men as this from using any
part OF the postcffice system to accumu-
