 mittee in Quiz.
Washington,

Washington, Jan. S.-America's probable output of merchant ships in 1918 was put at three million tons today by Homer l.. Ferguson, presi- dent and general manager of the Newport News Shipbuilding company, testifying at the senate shipbuilding inquiry Estimates frequently made of from five to eight million tons, he declared, were misleading to the public and should not be allowed to go unchallenged. The great obstacle now in the way of rapid construc- ton, MT. Ferguson said, is poor hous- ing conditions for shipyard workers. His testimony of housing conditions at Newport News so stirred the com mittee that a subcommittee, compris- ing Chairman Fletcher and Senator Harding, was appointed to investi- gate the matter. The testimony of MT. Ferguson, for 17 years a naval constructor, made visible impress sion on the committee, and he was kept on the stand most of the day. He did not hesitate to criticise the shipping board and the emergency fleet corporation, and held them re- sponsible in large measure for the slow development of the govern ment's program.

CAPT. B. B. RICE DIES Al HIS HOMt AT VARNfR, ARK. Well Known Planter Died Suddenly Last Night of
 Heart Failure. JUST RETURNED
 FROM DEER HUNT Ag"d Planter Had Been in IlI-HealtIl fer thout & Year, but had JuSt Ended Annual Hunt He Loved
 Sc Well.

Capt. R. R. Rice, one of the most prominent planters in the state of Ar kansas, died suddenly at his home in Werner last night. Heart failure is supposed to have been the cause of his death. While it was known that the aged planter had been in i'll health for about a year, his death came as a distinct shock to his many friends, as for the past month his health was ap- parently much improved.
 Captain Rice had been deer hunting for the past ten days, and returned from the woods late yesterday after noon. He stated to his friends who greeted him that he was feeling fine and that he had enjoyed his trip very much. About 10 o'clock, as he sat around the fire in his living room and told the experiences of his recent hunt, he was stricken and died suddenly while sitting in his chair.
 Captain Rice was 67 years of age and was one of the most prominent planters in Arkansas. He was man of very wide acquaintance, and was the personifcation of the real "south- ern country gentleman" He was a great lover of hounds and horses, and always kept a fine kennel and num- Der of blooded horses. His large plan tation in Lincoln county is famous for the fact that it was the home of this widely known planter, whose hospital ity was his first thought and whose generous nature was known In many states.
 He is survived by one son, Robert. who was with him at his death, and two sisters, Mrs. Zulina Douglass ot Warmer and Mrs. L. K. Flournoy of Little Rock. The funeral will probably he held today.

The names of four members of board to investigate the brotherhoods' request for more pay probably will be announced to- morrow.
 At the capital the railroad problem was subject of hearings before the interstate commerce committees of bota the state and house.

The director general may take this information to congress when he appears before the house interstate commerce committee late this week or early next week.
