School BOARD CANDIDATES
MUST file EXPENSES

Warning was given today by the at
torney generals office, through Deputy
Attorney General Green, that all per-
sons who were candidates for member
of the school board in the election on
June . must ut once file with the clerk
of the peace, statement of their cam
paign expenses as provided by the cor
rupt practices act.
This will be the last chance that the
dozen OF more candidates who failed to
file statements will have, and il was
decided to give them this chance after
a conference in which the attorney
general and his deputies and others took
part. While no direct announcement Of
prosecutions is made in the warning, the
inference is that those candidates who
fail TO file after being given this chance
will be prosecuted under the provisions
of the law. The warning issued from
the office Of the attorney general says
that all candidates for election TO the
school board who have not filed state
ments must do so at once.

AT this rate the Germans are sue

nished by French and English on

help from the United States
Representatives OF Italy. France
and England may be seen daily
haunting the shipping boards Offices
urging ships TO carry coal and food

However, the Goethals-Denman row
over the proper ship construction
program may hold up relief longer.
II today's board meeting mobiles
Cocktails program a new plan OF ac-
ion must be formulated. Chairman
Denman stated he did not believe
lew days would make much difference
when the question OF $500, 100000
expenditure is considered.
Denmans avowed intention OF scru-
every contract made by
Goethals resulted in the charge to-
day that their differences are not per-
sonal. but rest on Denman's antagon-
ism to the "steel crowd"
GoethaPs appearance before the
board for the second time had dra-
matte elements. Unaccustomed TO in
reference on the Panama Canal he
was cross-examined by much younger
men on the board today and his
judgement repeatedly questioned. The
government shipping program call
ing for S75O.OOO0OO expenditure is
considerably more than the cost OF
the canal Denman pointed out.
