URGES U. S. CONTROL

DATIoN HEARING.
Asks Federal Regulation of Rockefel-
Ter and Other Bodles-Do Much
Good and No Harm.

New York, Jan. 20.-Federal incor-
tion and for other foundations en-
dowed to help humanity was advocated
here on Monday by Samuel Untermyer.
famous corporation lawyer. before the
federal commission on industrial re-
lations. This commission, the chair
man of which is Frank P. Walsh of
Missouri. has begun an investigation
of the Rockefeller, Carnegie, Russell
Sage and Baron de Hirsch foundations
to determine whether or not they
should be regulated by the United
States government, and Mr.. Untermy-
er was the first witness.
The power and importance of these
foundations can be gathered from the
fact that they control about $300,000,.
600. Other recommendations by Mr.
Untermyer were:
l. That the charters given to the
foundations by the United States gov
ernment should be limited.
2. That the size of the foundations
should be limited
g. That the foundations should not
be allowed to accumulate their in
come.
Mr.. Untermyer said that the
foundations were doing much good
and no harm, but that they gave q
fair example of the evils of the vice
of state legislation" He declared that
the foundations were not satisfactory
wholly because they we're operating
under state charters. The govern
ment, he believed, should have sound
control over them and should have g
hand in the selection of trustees tc
administer them.

ASKED TO EXPLAIN
U. S. REQUESTS BRITAIN TO
TELL WHY AMERICAN SHIP
WAS HELD.
GREENBRIER's CHIEF DEFIANT
Captain of Craft Refuses to Continue
Trip Until American Flag Is Hoisted
in Place Of EnsIish-Dacia Win
Defy Seizure.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The state de-
partment has requested of the British
embassy information of why the
American steamer Greenbrier, from
New Orleans and Norfolk to Bremen.
with cotton under certificate of the
British consul at New York, was
stopped by British cruiser. sent un-
der British flag to British port and
detained two days before being al
lowed to complete her voyage to
Bremen
The detention of the Greenbrler was
brought to the attention of the state
department by kilograms from Cap
tain Farley, her commander. now at
Bremen. Farley stated that. the
Greenbrier was overhauled on Decem-
Der 80 by a British cruiser The board
ing officer required him to continue
on his course conveyed by the cruiser
for day or two while the cargo was
being searched for arms.
Then the cruiser placed aboard the
Greenbrier some additional British of,
ficers, hoisted the British flag. and a
prize crew, who navigated the ship SO
that, according to Captain Farley. ii
was damaged before it was brought
into Kirkwall There the Greenbrier
remained for three days, Captain Far
ley refusing to sail it further except
under the American flag. The British
authorities finally consented to the
raising of the American flag and Cap
tain Farley took his ship to Leith
The points upon which the state de-
partment wants information are, first,
why it was necessary to search the
Greenbrier in view of the certificate
issued by the British consul at New
York. and second. why a neutral mer.
chant vessel was compelled to lower
its flag when under no known rule
could it be regarded as a prize.
Ambassador Page, at London, has
cabled the state department that
Great Britain would not agree to the
American proposal that the steamship
Dacia be permitted to make a voyage
to Germany with the cargo of cotton
it is loading at Texas port
Representative of the owner Of the
steamer Dacia have informed the
state department that as soon as load
ed the steamer will proceed on her
voyage.
