SUPER VISION OF
SEAG0ING TRADE
IN CENTRAL BODY
Committee Named to Have Full
Direction Of Transatlantic
transportation
ALLIES IN FULL AGREEMENT
Pool to Form for Carrige Abroad
and all Bottoms Under
Same Orders

Washington, D. c., Jan. 31.-Central-
lied control Of transatlantic shipping
was established yesterday with crea-
ton of a ship control committee to
have supreme charge of the operation
of all ships-American. allied and
notwithstanding and leaving Ameri-
can ports.
The committee was named by rop-
war and navy departments, the Dad
and fuel administrations, the director
general of railroads, the British gov
eminent, and ship owners, who met to
devise some plan for speeding up the
movement OF supplies to Europe.
1t comprises P. A. S. Franklin, of
tie International Mercantile marine,
chairman; II. IT, Raymond, head of
the Clyde and Mallory lines, and rec
emily made shipping controller at New
York, and Sir Cunop Guthrie, direc-
tor of British shipping in this coun
try.
. ~ Ships Pool in Effect
The arrangement, as explained by
shipping board officials, in effect
creates a pool of ships moving sup
plies TO Europe. Goods destined for
overseas viii be loaded in available
ships whether operated by the United
States or the allies. With the aid of
the railroad administration the COM
mission will divert to southern ports
much of the supplies that heretofore
have clogged the port of New York
and incoming vessels will be directed
by wireless to proceed to the ports in
which materials OF the most import
ance await shipment.
t.. Approved by Britain
The plan yet has to be approved by
the British government, and by the
other allies, but officials today re.
ceived the assurance of Sir Cunop
Guthrie and Sir Richard Crawford, of
the British embassy, that this would
be Forthcoming. Approval of the neu-
trails is not necessary, inasmuch as
neutral ships operated by the United
States and the allies are operated
under charter.

defense will tell what they know of
the remarks OF James Manahan, St.
Paul attorney, charged with rioting,
made at Rice Park, December 2, pre-
ceding the rioting in connection with

seeing trainman standing on stall

pointing gun at the crowd. Il
All witnesses said they saw crowds

Candidate For the Republican Nom-

DR.. Anderson is best known
throughout the state as the Father
of prohibition, as he introduced in
the state legislature the prohibition
law of 1915 as well as the "bone-dry'
law of 1917. That he is proud of the
title is evidenced by the fact that
when he filed notice of his candidacy
for Governor he ordered the words
Bone Dry; Win the War; Develop
Oregon" printed after his name on
the ballot.
He is a native of Illinois, but has
resided in Oregon for the past six
teen years, all of the time in The

AS a member of the Oregon legis-
lature in 1913-1915 and 1917 he has
always been actively identified with

Echo Man Near Internment.

: Tom Ross came near being intern
ed last week as an alien enemy, &C.
,cording to story told by member
of the Pendleton secret service. The
detective had been watching a Teu-
ton of mysterious manner, and fol-
lowed him to the railroad station.
Mr.. Ross was there waiting for the
motor, and when the German saw
him he advanced with outstretched
hand, and saluted Ross with what
the detective says is the salutation
sign of the alien sympathizer: 1T
is Ludwig, my friend, yes?" In
stead of coming back with the phrase
that would have branded him as an
associate of the German spy, Ross be-
rated the stranger so strongly for
mistaking him for an individual with
a Teuton name, that the secret serv-
ice man was satisfied Ross was not
an agent of the Kaiser. Mr.. Ross
does not yet know how close he was
to arrest.-Echo News.
