SAN FRANCISCAN
IS CHOSEN HEAD OF
SHIPPING BOARD

WASHINGTON, Jan. SO.-The fed
eral shipping board at its first meet
ing today unanimously agreed on
William Denman of San Francisco as
chairman. 1t was decided, however,
not to make the election permanent
until a fifth member is named to sue
coed Bernard NJ. Baker, of Baltimore,
who resigned.
Final choice was delayed, it was
announced, at the suggestion of Mr..
Denman himself, who felt that if an
other member were selected from the
Pacific coast it might not be desirable
to have one of the two chairman.
There has been no intimation, it was
said, as to who would be named. Mr..
Baker resigned, the Treasury Depart
ment announced, because Secretary
McAdoo suggested that Mr.. Denman
be elected chairman.
All four members of the board
were present today. Besides Mr.
Denman they are John A. Donald OF
New York, John B. White of Kansas
City, the Theodore Brent of New Or
leans. With Mr.. Denman acting as
chairman, the board will proceed with
organization plans.

MONEY DICTATOR FOR
ENGLAND SUGGESTED

LONDON, Jan. 10.-A demand for
a Money Dictator, whose duty
would be to "show the Yankee bank
ers that they cannot rush up interest
rates as they did. some two months
ago., is made by the PAIL MALL
GAZETTE.
aft the war lasts another year" /,
says the article, "a money dictator
will be the only way out of our trou-
BILE.
''The new British loan is a DELHI
crate attempt on the part Of the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer to cut down
the rate of interest that the nation
has to pay on its borrowings. The
issue of six per cent Exchequer bonds
was a fatal mistake and Mr.. Bonar
Law is not likely to repeat the blum
der of his predecessor. He is a man
of business, and he told the bankers
last week that he meant to get all
the money needed for the war, and
that he meant to get it as cheaply
as he could. He did not talk COM
pulsion, but he gave a pretty strong
hint that if necessary he could be
very firm indeed.
"There is not the smallest reason
why we should not have a Money
Dictator as well as a Food Dictator.
"The investing public might be
educated to look upon four per free
of tax, as an ample interest to re-
ceive on a sound stock. The Ger
mans have made all their loans at
five per cent. They have financed on
sound lines, and have realized that
war loans are only a species of paper
credits, and that it is just as easy
to issue at five as at six, as long as
you hold control of the money mar
ket.
at is more difficult for us to con-
troll our market, as we are buying
abroad and exporting large amounts
but the task is by no means insuper-
able. A clever man would soon show
the Yankee bankers that they cannot
rush up rates as they did some two
months ago. I don't suppose that
American bankers in London have
more than twenty million pounds or
deposit, and this amount is too small
to control the price of money"

NEARLY THOUSAND
MEXICANS GIVEN
BATHS IN ONE DAY

Ell PASO, Tex, Jan. SO.-Nine
hundred and twenty-nine Mexicans
were given baths at the United States
immigration station today, the third
day of the enforcement of quarantine
regulations as a preventative of ty-
plus fever. No rioting occurred dur
ing the day and the danger of a re-
petition of the 'fbath riots" is now
believed by the United States health
officers to have passed. The only dis
turbance which occurred during the
day was when two Mexican men and
one woman arrested by local police
officers at the American end of the
international bridge. They were
placed in the city Jail on charges of
melting a riot, the specific charge
being that they crossed the Internal
ional line and assaulted Sergeant J..
NJ. Peck of the Twenty-third United
States infantry, and Inspector Roy
Schuyler of the customs service. The
woman was later dismissed and the
men fined in police court.
A mutual arrangement has been
made by the American and Mexican
health officers by which certificates
from the Juarez disinfecting plant
will be accepted by the American Of
ficers providing there are no appear
ances of fraud in connection with
their issuance. This does not apply,
however, to Mexican section laborers
and others of the same class who
come from the interior. They must
submit to the disinfecting process at
the quarantine station regardless of
whether or not they have tickets from
the Juarez plant. DR.. C. C. Pierce,
in charge of the quarantine, said to-
night, inspectors have also been plac-
ed at the Union Station to prevent
laborers from leaving on outbound
trains unless they have bath certifi-
Gates.
NOW that the Dath regulations are
better understood by the Mexican
people, no further difficulty is expec-
ted in getting them to comply with
the quarantine regulations. DR..
Pierce said tonight the quarantine
would be continued and, after the
plan was better understood, no GER
tiicates from Juarez would be accep-
ted. One bath each week will be re-
Iuired of all who cross the bridge from
Juarez. A meeting of the chamber
Of commerce was held late today to
the quarantine of laborers
from Ell Paso. After DR.. |
Pierce had explained it, the quaran-
line was Endorsed.

EXTRA SESSION OF
CONGRESS IN DOUBT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3d.
President Wilson told callers to-
day that the question of an extra
session of congress after March A
depended upon the legislative re-
suits of the present session. He
said he could not decide whether
to summon an extra session until
he is in position to know defn-
itely what action on his Iegisla-
tive program will be taken dur
ing the remaining weeks of the
present congress.
1t is understood that he still
is insisting on the principal meas
ures of his original program.

ARRANGING FRONTIER
SPORTS PROGRAM FOR
STOCKMEN'S MEETING

Ell PASO, Tex, Jan. 30.-A pro-
gram of cowboy sports and frontier
races is now being arranged for the
entertainment of the delegates who
attend the convention Of the Pan
handle and Southwest Stockmens'
association here on March 8 and 9.
The chamber of commerce has the pro-
gram in charge and it will be given as
a part of the entertainment to be ar
ranged for the visitors.
In addition to the roping, riding,
bronco busting" and other similar
sports, there will be relay races and a
chuck wagon supper. Champion riders
and ropers have been engaged for the
program.
The convention Of the association
has become an annual teatureof the
stockmen's life in the southwest. A
majority of the cattlemen in Western
Texas, Southern New Mexico and
Eastern Arizona belong to the Texas
aCttle Raisers' association, the Ameri-
can National Livestock association or
one of the other larger organizations.
But almost all of the cattlemen in this
district make it rule to attend the

ton.

Ell PASO, Jan. 30.-Enroute to
New York to urge the lifting of the
embargo on arms and ammunition to
Mexican territory held by Carranza
troops, a delegate from General Car
rama left here today bearing Gre
dentials said to have been received

TO IMPEAGH
PREMIER TUAN,CHI-
JUIOF CHINA MADE

PEKING, Dec. 1O.-Repeated at
tempts recently have been made to
impeach Premier Tuan Chi-jui and the
friction has become so serious between
the parliament and the cabinet that
some vital change seems imminent.
Many Of the newspapers are pre-
dieting that the parliament will be
disbanded because Of its lack Of &C
compishment. The hostile criticism
of parliament has been intensified by
a pitched battle in which the members
engaged because Of controversy over
the constitution. Chairs and ink bot
ties were utilized as weapons. Six or
seven members Of parliament were
badly injured in the fight, which re-
suited in the wrecking Of the interior
of one Of the parliamentary halls.
The fight was precipitated by very
close vote on the section Of the con-
stitution providing for provincial gov
ernments. The Kuomintang, or ultra
republican faction, which is seeking to
decentralize the Picking government,
favored the establishment Of provin-
cial governments similar to those the
states have in America. Two votes
were cast, and it was found that the
Kuomintang was defeated by a mar
row margin. On a recount there were
found to be more votes than members
in attendance at the session, and the
result was a general scrimmage.
Leaders of the Kuomintang have
been doing everything in their power
to embarrass Premier Tuan Chi-jui,
but without great success. The pre-
mier retains the favor of most Of the
prominent military leaders in China,
and has been able to withstand the
repeated onslaughts of his enemies. He
still remains a towering figure, al
though somewhat weakened by the
Kuomintang criticism in parliament
and threatened by the ultra republic
ans in Shanghai and South China, who
are forming a new party in which
they hope to enlist the Kuomintang
and other disgruntled factions.
President Ii Yuan-hung has kept
aloof from the struggle between the
premier and the parliament, but un-
fortunately both parties to this strife
are very critical of his attitude and
say he has shown a lack Of courage.
Enemies of Premier Chi-jui have
not only assailed him through parlia-
ment, but have endeavored in other
ways to embarrass the present govern
ment. They are charged with having
inspired the French boycott in Ten
tsin for the purpose of showing the
weakness of the foreign policy Of the
present cabinet. Many Chinese papers
also charge that the Kuomintang is
constantly currying favor with Japan
seeking to strengthen itself at the loss
of China's prestige.
While the struggle is going on be-
tween parliament and the cabinet in
Picking, South China is becoming very
impatient, and there are constant ru-
more of the possible secession Of all
the provinces south of the Yang-tse
valley in case conditions in Picking do
not improve very speedily.
The Kuomintang criticizes the cabi-
net on the ground that it is not in
reality a responsible cabinet, but is
merely a committee dominated by
Premier Tuan Cm-jui, which is not
subject to the will of the president
and is not carrying out the wishes of
the public.

SIX BARREL S OF LIQUOR
PUZZLE FOR. D. C. OWNER
FOR the Whisky e in. Baltimore
and Fear Of Law Balks
Transfer.

Els It possible for the owner OF six
barrels Of whisky to bring his liquor
to this city. one barrel at a time. with
out violating the law?"
Thfa was one Of the numerous Ques-
ttons recently asked Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Ringgold Hart, who
prosecutes cases in Police Court
brought under the Sheppard law.
The question was asked by retired
merchant, who said he had six bar
rels Of liquor in bond In Baltimore and
declared he wanted them for personal
use. He learned the Sheppard law
would not interfere with his bringing
the liquor here for personal use, but
was unable to learn what bearing the
penal code would have on the transac-
tion. Mr.. Hart did not feel at liberty
to give an opinion as to the bearing
the penal code would have on the pro-
posed shipment of liquor. He explained
prosecutions under that law are con-
Quoted by the United States attorney.
Several liquor cases are on the as
signment for jury trial in Police Court
next Wednesday. None of the cases
cited for trial Is to be brought in the
nature Of a test, 1t is stated, but they are
cases in which the straight sales of
intoxicants are charged. In one case
the sale Of so-ca1led near-beer, prod
uct containing less than 2 per cent of
alcohol, is alleged to have been made
Just after the Sheppard law went into
effect.

Completed Without Disaster.

So the withdrawal from a dangerous
salient which we could have held con-
veniently only by broadening its area
after new and costly battles against
enemy who had had time enough to
bring up strong reinforcements (every
day he is hurrying up new troops to
this sector). has been completed with
out any grave disaster. which is al
ways possible in an operation Of this
kind. and with heavy losses to the
enemy. as he was endeavoring to keep
In touch.
It is too soon yet to say whether this
ends one of the most thrilling episodes
of the war or whether the enemy will
still further test the British strength
by attempting to recapture his Hinden-
burg lines.
