 These are the only disputes in which the public is interested, he said, adding that the public interests were all that had impelled the rail- roads to submit to the demands of the employees. -IF.
 "The railroads have come to be- lieve," he said, "that they can whip the strikers. My opinion is that if the public was not interested, we could whip them, but as the rail- roads are subject to public opinion, trey have to submit to the demands of the men," eiio
 The brotherhood members, said Mir. Lovett, "had shown they had no re- gard for the public, congress or the supreme court. Their leaders should be stripped of their power. No group of men should have it in their power to paralyze the commerce of the country

Washington. March 20-Thc gov heretofore has insured only non-con- lfaDand cargOes. announced today that it will "broaden the scope of it's operations,' and hereafter will insure practically all forms of contraband cargoes for European countries, ex- cep1lng arms and ammunition.
 The decision to insure contraband car%oes was reached at meeting of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and the advisory board, and was an- no'lnced in the following statements
 Secretary McAdoo, following a meeting with the advisory board of the war risk insurance bureau ana the director of that bureau announced that owing to the present conditions. and with the view to more thorough lN facilitate the commerce of the United States, the bureau of war risk insurance would broaden the scope of it's operations and insure more gen. eral cargoes and vessels bound to Eu- ropcan countries.

 oHueI tHe law, pOllCleS can not De issued on vessels or cargoes of ves- sels of other than American registry.
 Heretofore, the bureau has declined to issue policies on articles declared contraband by the belligerents, these including almost all American prod ucts. with the result that only small percentage of the American trans Atlantic merchant fleet has been in- sured by the government. Even with this restriction the bureau has issued S200,000,00O of insurance since it was inaugurated in September, 1914. The total losses are small, the amount of the original appropriation of $5,000,- 900 by congress for the payment of losses having been reduced by only about S600,000. Premiums for the policies are not available for the pay ment of the losses, but have to be turned into the treasury

APPROPRIATION FOR
 NORMAL IS IN DANGER
Governor Urged Not to Veto or Pare Appropriation for Negro
 School.

Some of the newspapers of the state having printed statement to the effect that Gov. c. H. Brough ;s considering the advisability of veto- ing some of the appropriations voted .by the legislature for the construc- tion of new buildings for the branch normal college here, Secretary E. B. Bloom of the chamber of commerce yesterday forwarded the following telegram to the governor, sending also letter in which he went into the matter in greater detail:
 Newspapers report you contem- plate vetoing item branch normal, $24,00O, building purposes. Hope yo1 will not do so, and feel if you will investigate crowded conditions, yol will let matter stand. Citizens here earnestly desire 10 make the insti- tuition a credit to the state and a great benefit to the negro, and will do so, if the state will do its part.
 Tn this same connection, MT. Bloom, of yesterday, makes the following comment:
 eve hope that the rumor that Go y- ernor Brough will veto the $24,00l item for buildings for the brancl normal college here is unfounded. It is the only direct legislation enacted for the negroes of tho state and in view of the fact that several hun dred thousand dollars were appro- priated for the agricultural colleges, it does seem that the great state of Arkansas could afford to permit the branch normal item to stand"

tary Daniels, saying that no new naval orders had been issued, hurried to the navy department, and went into conferences with members of the general board. Information for the president and tentative plans for further naval activities were dis cussed.
 The only opinion against the call ing of congress to meet at once IS based on the conviction that the president can do almost everything possible immediately. But in spite ef this argument, the preponderance of official opinion seems to be that con- gress should be summoned just as soon as possible so that the full power of the government would be assembled in Washington.
 Yachtsmen Volunteer.
 sPlans for organization of patrol squadrons of privately-owned motor boats and yachts along the Atlantic coast were discussed tonight at a conference between Secretary Dan iels and Capt. Geo. R. Marvel an as- sistant for operations, who has just returned from a trip to New York, Boston, and other coast points, en- rolling valuable craft. Captain Mar we'll reported that he had arranged contracts with many owners of small speedy boats, suitable for mounting guns and chasing submarines or pa trolling the coast, to turn their ves- sels over to the government in an emergency. A number of boat own- CTS also agreed to volunteer as re- serve officers, he said.
 Both Secretary Daniels and Secre- tary Baker spent several hours at their offices tonight going over d. partment business.
