ture Burned.

A loss Of $500 was caused by a fire
shortly after last midnight which de:
stroyed the three-room frame home
Of Arthur Shaver. in the Thoburn dis.
trict Of Monongah. The family was
absent all night and, according to
Mayor Thomas g. Price, the fire may
have started from a hot coal falling
from asgrate.
The house was burned to the ground
and all the furniture destroyed. There
was no insurance and the destruction
of the property is a total loss, the
Shaver family being left homeless.
The fire was first seen blazing
through the roof by William Findley,
chief of the Monongah fire department
who was more than a mile away. The
fire whistle was promptly sounded and
the volunteer department responded,
the truck being hurried to NE fire at
top speed over a rough, steep road for
a mile. The distance was so great,
however. that before the hand-drawn
truck arrived the house was too far
gone to be saved.

TRADE CONVENTION
AGAINST SH|PB|LI
U s Chamber Of Commerce
Votes 1863 80 In Disap.
Shortage.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6!--The an:
inual convention Of the Chamber Of
Commerce of the United States went
on record as Overwhelmingly op.
posed to- President Wilson'S ship gpur-
chase bill. The vote Is regarded here
as the most impressive evidence that
has yet appeared as to the attitude
OF the business men of the country
toward the proposed government
ownership Legislation.
The vote came on a report by a
special committee on the upbuilding
of the merchant marine. The ms.
1ority OF this commtttee, headed by
William Harris Douglas. reported that
government operation is un.Ameri-
can, 1t likely to be more extravagant
and expensive than private control
and will seriously interfere with in
dtviduals initiative and retardsS the en-
terprise of our citizens"
This. of course, amounted to a can
domination of the Presidents plan.
The committee itself proposed a plan
for the development of the United
States merchant marine. The vote
on adopting the report was 1853 for
and 90fagainst. AS this was less THAN
the two.thirds vote required, the re.
port failed Of adoption.
A. Referendum Voted.
Later the convention voted to sub
nit the majority report to a: referen-
dunn Of the chamber OF commerce OF
the United States. Before this avs
adopted, a motion had been made to
adopt the minority report of the COM
mittee on merchant marine, which in
.dorses the Wilson ship purchase bill.
This was voted down.
Officers Of the association contended
that the action Of the convention in
turning down the minority report
should not be construed as a direct
vote against the Presidents plan as
the questions presented involved a
choice between the adoption Of the
administrations plan and the submit
ting Of the matter to a referendum.
No comment, however, was made on
the vote of the majority report.
The plan suggested by a majority Of
the merchant marine committee pro-
vided for a permanent federal ship.
ping board to be appointed by the
President and made up Of men OF ex-
perience in marine transportation.
The board would be non.partisanf and
would have authority to loan for
seven years, subject to restrictions
imposed by congress, such percentage
of the cost of building or buying
ships as will afford a safe margin on
REIMBURSEMENT.
Such loans are to be secured by
first mortgage on the ships. To pro-
vide funds a marine development

T0MEET TUESDAY
May Decide at This Tine to
Limit Clubs Players

tBy Associated 'Press)
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-With the hold.
ing Of the National League schedule
meeting here next Tuesday the base
ball m~agnates Of organized baseball
will begin to edge out of the spotlight
In favor Of the player. The winter
months mark the season Of the mag.
mates greatest prominence and this
has been particularly. true Of the
league executives and club owners
since theworld series. The struggle
between organized and Independent
baseball interests has forced the
player, in his active role, we'll into
the background. With the call for
spring training and the announcement
of schedules real baseball enthusiasm
will begin to revive and the possible
tiles o fthe 1915 season outlined.
Before this situation in the nation.
al sports can be reached, however,
the are a number of important
rulings. legal and executive which
must be clarified. The schedule meet
ing of the American League has al.
ready been held and the National
league will hold its final conference
in this city next Tuesday. At this
gathering the magnates9 of the senior
league will pass officially upon the
playing dates for the coming season
and also upon several resolutions
and suggestions passed or considered
at the meeting held early in Decem-
Der.
Chief among these is the rule lin.

MeAdoo and Burton Speak.
Speeches respectively expressing
strong approval and disapproyal OF
the administration shipping bill were
delivered before the Chomber Of, Com.
mercelo of the United States by Secre-
tary McAdoo and Senator Burton OF
Ohio.
Secretary McAdoo appealed for.
support OF the measure on the ground
.thatthe country has not sufficient
ships ito provide for an easy flow of
our commerce. He said that exor.
bitant freight rates are being charged
for shipments on vessels available and
denied that any international icompli.
cations would be threatened by the
establishment of the government
owned marine.
Senator Burton declared that the
organization Of a shipping corpora
ton would be nothing more than a
mask and that It would be real gov.
eminent ownership and government
operation. This, he! said, might plunge.
the country into international contro.
'yersies, the end and seriousness Of
which may not be foreseen.
Our foreign competitors" said
Secretary McAdoo, who master the
seas have the entire power to destroy
American commerce or to retard 1t
as they see 1T, because they can lift
the rates overnight and there Is no
power to control them-and they are
doing 1t overnight and putting them
at such prohibitive figures that they.
can stop any export they want to
from this country today. And we sit,
here and gable about whether the
government shall or shall not come in
and relieve the situation.
where Is the courage of the Ameri.
can nation? Where is that virile pow.
or that has made THIS American ma
ton great? Has It disappeared? I do
not believe It. We are not afraid Of
anything, my friends, as long as we.
walk the path Of restitude and Justice
as a nation and we intend to do that.
"Why, my friends, there is no more
danger Of getting into international.
difficulties II this bill is passed than
there is danger that I will pick ly the
Washington monument and wilk
across the Potomac river with 1t.
Let's get rid Of this DOGGY now and
forever. The American government
lis going to stand upon its plain rights.
WHICH are the rights Of Justice and
neutrality"
