FOUR SHIPS HELD
American Liners Won't Sal
Without Navy Gunners.

(By the international News service.)
New York. Feb. 23.-On his return from
a conference with Secretary OF the Navy
Daniels, in Washington today. P. A. S
Franklin. president of the international
Mercantile Marine Company, made cleaI
the position OF the four American liners
that are being held in port.
These vessels are the st. Paul, st. Louis
New York and Philadelphia, and under
the postal act can be reC.uisitioned by
the government at any time. Mr.. Frank.
lin declined to state the nature of his
discussion with Secretary Daniels, but he
limited that the reports that the Navy
Department had made plans to take over
the vessels are without foundation.
I'VE will sail the four mail steamers
Of the American Line with passengers.
mail and cargo only on the condition
that the Navy Department puts guns and
trained gunners aboard" said Mr.. Frank
lin. Those vessels carry from $50 to 400
men in their crews and about as many
passengers. We are not inclined to place
the lives of seven or eight hundred peo-
pie In jeopardy by sailing the vessels at
this time.
1--WE have tried to get guns and have
searched every source. No guns are OBJ
tainable. AS a private corporation, we
have come to the conclusion that II is
not our duty to try and arm these ves-
sells ourselves. We feel that we should
have the benefit of the expert service OF
the naval authorities We have no facilI-
ties for securing trained gunhers. Such
men are not to be picked up through en-
ployment agencies.
The vessels are all coaled and ready 10
sail, but they will not leave the port OF
New York as merchantmen until guns
and gunners have been placed aboard by
the Navy Department"

to the testimony adduced at the in

woman over the head.
According to a story brought to the

the democratic doctrines, that
the offices of the country belong
to the people, and he is there
fore submitting his claims direct
