Vessels Must Be Built.
tsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WIRE


Paris, Jan. 13.--The central com.
mittee of French ship owners today
decided to call the attention of the
government to the danger threatened
by the disappearance of the merchant
marine, if national shipbuilding yards
are not able to construct vessels
promptly. The committee pointed
out that fifty-nine ships, of which
twenty were French, were sunk by
submarines last week. and that 1t Is
impossible to replace these abroad be-
cause of the general prohibition
against the transfer of ownership of
vessels The only resource left, the
committee contended, was the ma
tional yards.
The committee declared that des-
pite their efforts, the government had
not yet made any decision whereby
the yards could be supplied with raw
materials.

Fatal Shooting Is Done by Mrs,
Stella NJ, Smith, Daughter
of Wealthy Chicagoan, in
Fashionable Denver Home.
THREATENED LIFE
OF HER DAUGHTER
W, A, Moore, Former Spouse,
Goes to Rescue, and Later
Employs Counsel on Behalf
of ACCuSed Woman,
tsv MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LsAsrp w,sx,

Denver Colo, Jan. 13.-Mrs. Stella
M. Smith told the police late today of
events leading up to the fatal shoot
ing of her husband, John L. Smith. at
house in fashionable residence dis
trict here early today. Mrs. Smith,
the police declared, said her husband
threatened to tear her clothing from
her, among other alleged indignities,
and said he was going to kill her and
her daughter by a former marriage,
Mildred Moore.
Mrs. Smith formerly was the wife
of William A. Moore, prominent at
torney brother of Julian A. Moore,
recently named district judge here,
and son of former Bishop David
Moore, at one time located in
Portland, Ore. She is the step
daughter of Alfred Briton, of
Chicago, and formerly of Fort Worth
and other Texas cities, who made a
fortune in the Beaumont oil develop
ments.
Dry-eyed, Mrs. Smith told officials
of night of horror, at the culmina-
ton of which, early this morning, she
shot Smith with a small revolver as he
attacked her once more. She told how
she stepped over the man lying on the
floor beside her bed called servant
and, returning, how she feared that
Smith was not dead and had shot him
again with his own pistol leaning over
to place the weapon close to his head
John Bindle, the servant who ad-
mitted Smith and whom Mrs. Smith
called, told of seeing her fire the Sec
ond shot.
W. A. Moore, Mrs. Smiths husband
until four years ago, went to the house
about 4 o'clock this morning, sum-
moned by a servant at the behest of
Mrs Smith, who feared for Mildred s
safety. Moore took his daughter and
went away without going into the
house. Mildred cried at leaving her
mother, he said, and asked him if he
had heard her scream when Smith
choked her
Mrs. Smith said that as Moore drove
away Smith tried to shoot him, threat
ening to kill both man and girl, but
that she struggled with him and pre-
vented him firing the pistol he pointed
at them.
Moore told of vain efforts to secure
a policeman to accompany him to the
house for Mrs. Smiths protection, and
said: 81 suppose ought to have killed
Smith myself, but | hadn't the heart
to do it,"
Moore is exerting every energy in
his former wife's behalf, has employ
ed counsel for her and has spent much
of the time since her arrest at the
Jail with her. Mrs. Smith was arrest
ed by the ambulance crew which an
swered Moore's call to the scene of
the tragedy.
The district attorneys office stated
tonight that no formal charge would
be filed in the case until after the in
quest Monday. The district attorney
is prepared to resist any effort on Mrs.
part to obtain bond, on the
face of the evidence at present, he
said.
Colorado statutes prolnbit bond be-
ing given in capital cases without the
consent of the district attorney.

.FEDER RAJ RESERVE
|. PLANS LAWS FOR
j. S. PROTECTION
Inflow of So Much Gold Is
Upsetting Economic Condi-
tions, and Rapid Outflow Is
to Be Prevented,

Washington, Jan. 13.-Amendments
to the federal reserve act, designed to
place the United States on thor
oughly sound basis of financial pre-
paredness for whatever the future
may bring during the continuance of
the war and after it's termination,
have been put into definite form by
the federal reserve board and soon
will be introduced in congress.
The chief unforeseen financial
problems which the country has faced
since the war started have resulted,
board officials believe, from the huge
gold importatons which have tended
to upset former economic and finan-
cial conditions and the recommends
tons for new legislation are aimed
principally at controlling loan extern
sions based on these gold, accretions.
Amendment of the act" said
statement issued by the board today,
seems necessary to enable us TO deal
effectively with the new information
al problems which seem destined to
play so important part in our do,
mestic life. The banking system of
the United States should be prepared
to meet effectively two conditions of
opposite character-one, the excess
sive and uncontrolled inflow of gold;
the other the excessive and unregu-
lated outflow of gold.
The amendments proposed are de-
signed to provide means for controll-
ing an over-extension of loans based
on new accretions to our gold stock
and to provide for the mobilization
and extension of the gold holdings of
the United States so that the flow of
gold back to Europe, or to South
America, on to the orient, may be ar
ranged without forcing any violent
contraction of loans or causing undue
disturbance to legitimate business"

in the legislature by reason of the
change, because the new county will
have no representation until provision
is made for it by constitutional amend
ment.
In this way the Sumner county ad-
vocates hope to get their bill through
at the present session of the legisla-
ture. No new county proposition ever
has smooth sailing, for reasons already
stated, but the present one has fairer
prospects than any that has been pre-
sented to the lawmakers for some
time.
There Are Others.
Sumner county Is not the only en-
hryonic county knocking at the door.
Far be it. The citizens of the great
plains country of Chaves and Eddy
counties have for long time been en-
deavoring to get recognition. but so
far without result. In the northeast
ern part of the state there are certain
citizens who would carve slices out of
Union and adjacent counties for tho
purpose of creating a new county.
And there are still others.
At the present time the Sumner
county movement seems to have the
best chance of success. Representa-
tive j. E. Pardue, mayor of Fort SUM-
ner and democratic leader in the
house, is actively behind the measure,
as are quite number of other influ-
entail members of the house. There
are good reasons for the creation of
the new county. and always reasons
can be found against the creation of
any new county. The matter is likely
TO occupy a considerable part of the
time of the present session after the
solons get regularly down to work.
