Place Nov. 80.
ROBINSON OUT TO-DAY
Man Who Saved Big German
Liners for U. s. Against
Britain Ends Work.
ROBINSON OUT TO-DAY


WASHINGTON, Sept IA. S. Ros-
setter, head OF the division of operations
Of the United States Shipping Board,
will retire November 80. The announce
tnent was made by Chairman Payne to-
day after Mr.. Rosseter's return from an
extended vacation.
At the same time was announced the
resignation of Henry NJ. Robinson as
. member of the board. which was fore
cast in THE SUN several weeks ago. Mr..
Robinson is to leave the service to-mor-
row. He came to Washington as a
dollar a year man, first with the Coun-
Gil of National Defence and then with
the Shipping Board.
Mr.. Robinson became internationally
known at the Peace Conference by put
ting over the greatest material achieve
ment of the conference, when he de-
feated the plans of the British delega-
ton for division of informed German
shipping and obtained for the United
States 100000 tons of fine passenger
liners, vessels which were absolutely
lacking in the American merchant ma
rine.
The British planned to pool all in
termed German vessels and then divide
them according TO war losses. This
would, of course, have given the bulk of
the German shipping to Great Britain.
Mr.. Robinson opposed and defeated this,
and to the countries that interned the
German ships were awarded the vessels.
A number of the best German liners
were informed in American ports. MIR.
Robinson assembled all OK the facts with
relation to shipping presented by the
American delegation to the conference.
He accepted appointment on the board
to complete the work which he accom-
plished in Paris.
Chairman Payne declared to-day that
there was morrow in the board or in the
organizations. Reports of disaffectton
had gone out, it is stated, because Of
Chairman Payne's policy and determi-
nation TO put the organization on a peace
basis and weed out the deadwoJd
gathered during the war. A number OF
divisions have been abolished or consoli-
dated and some lesser officials have re-
signed. Many clerical positions have
. been abolished and the holders were let
out of the Government service.
Chairman Payne said that there was
to be no reorganization OF shakeup. but
that the organization would be put upon
a permanent peace basis as rapidly as
possible.
1t was reported that the super
cargoes were to be abolished, and that
this would prompt Mr.. Rosseter's resig-
nation. Chairman Payne was inclined
to abolish the places. but he said to-day
that no definite decision had been
reached and that he was giving con
sideration to valuable reports coming
from these employees.
Mr.. Rosseter, it was officially stated.
has wanted to get out of the service for
months He is one of the best known
shipping men in the country and sacr-
need salary of 100000 a year TO
serve the Government. After the arms-
tice he wanted to be relieved, but he
consented to remain until November 80.
Chairman Payne expressed his pleasure
at this decision.

WATER POWER BILL
REPORTED IN SENATE
Provides for Private DeueIop-
aent, but With LoophoIe.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE House
waterpower development bill as
amended by the Senate Commerce Com
mittee was reported to the Senate to-
day by Chairman Jones, who gave no.
tice that he would seek it's considera-
tion at the first opportunity
In formal report accompanying the
bill. Senator Jones said its theory was
TO provide for private development of
waterpower projects but with ultl-
mate Government ownership possible"
Fairly enactment Is desired, the COM
mittee report declared. adding:
I'VE should do one of two things /:
We should pass legislation which will
lend private capital and enterprise to
destroy these resources under such reg
ulations as will give consumers good
service and cheap power, or the Gov
eminent itself should proceed to make
this development"
Citing advantages from the opening
or new power projects, the committee
report said:
"Every year that our waterpowers
are undeveloped means a loss to the
people in one form or another almost
If not quite equal to the cost OF their
development Legislative action should
be delayed no longer"
Senator Jones asserted that the bill
declares for the Government ownership
and operation of power projects at the
end of fifty years private development,
insuring power for dependent Industries,
AZ the private licenses are unable to
agree upon terms for extension of their
contracts. The bill also, he said, in
sures return upon private capital in
vested.
