VAST PROFITS BY
SHIP OWNERS IN
PERIOD Of WAR
One Vessel Makes $800,O00I
in ITO Days, Says Former
Director of Shipping Board
to Senate Committee.


Washington, Dec. 11.-Profits made
by ship owners during the war were
fabulous and 'unbelieyable, John
II. Rossetter, former director of oper-
ations of the shipping board, told the
senate commerce committee in testi-
mony made public today by Chairman
Jones. The board realized enough
profits on some ships, he said, but
the earnings on privately owned yes-
sells We're even greater.
One ship owned by a company with
which he had been connected, he said,
operating under the board as a cargo
carrier from San Francisco and CAL
cutta, earned in one voyage of 10
days, more than $500, 600, This netted
the board, he said. approximately
$750,000 over the compensation al
lowed to owners and other expenses.
The Quistconick, first ship built at
Hog Island, on voyage of ninety-two
days under arrangements with the
Italian government, earned $597 622,
Mr.. Rossetter said. Net profits were
$46I,151, after taking care Of $S7, 500
in depreciation and SIS, 500 interest.
These earnings, however, were ex-
ceptional, and every ship did not yield
such a profit, he said, but vessels un-
der private management exceeded
even these returns. The board had
fixed q rate during the war period of
S6G ton to Europe. he added, while
the British rate was $SS.
Then they had certain so-callcd
exceptions Of licenses" he said, refer
ring to the British rate, where the
rate went as high as S120 a ton and
then in trades like cotton, there was
no control at all
Losses due to sinkings and other
causes amounted to about $27, 700. 000,
The witness said, which was charged
against the boards insurance diyi-
sion.

sian soviet government, today flatly
refused to obey the mandate of the
subpoena served on him by the joint
Legislative committee investigating Sc
ditious activities here. He declined,
both upon request and then upon di-
rect instruction from the chairman,
TO produce documents and papers re-
celVed by him from his government or
copies OF his correspondence and re-
ports to it.
Martens declined to answer ques-
tions concerning his dealings with
Russia and stated point blank that he
had sent all his confidential files be-
yond the confines of New York state,
out of the jurisdiction of the legisla-
tive committee. They are still in the
United States, he added and he ad-
mitted that he could produce them at
any time if, he so desired.
Assembyman Martin, acting chair
man of the committee, told Martens
that he would be notified tomorrow
what action the committee would take
on his refusal TO produce the papers
subpoenaed and to answer questions
Martens smiled, nodded his head, and
said:
THANK you"
The ambassador" when asked to
produce the papers, read into the rec
ord a statement prepared for him by
his lawyers. giving what was purport-
ed to be his reasons for declining to
deliver the required documents. Diplo-
matte immunity was the theme of the
statement He cited International law
authorities quoted from John Hay,
United States secretary of state under
President Roosevelt to bear out this
contention that as a representative of
a de facto government regardless of
recognition, he was entitled to enjoy
diplomatic privileges" He said he
refused "on principle" to produce the
papers sought and because he had no
authority from his government to do
so. Then, he added, that there was
nothing to conceal" in his corre-
spondence.
He identified photostatic copy Of
his appointment by the Russian gov
ornment to represent it hero. Then he

Strom, member of the Swedish par
lament. He declined to say where /
other agencies were located, or who |
conducted them Many of the couriers
and much Of the mail between Mar

CHARGES AGAINST
DETER MADE BY
BAD CHARACTERS

nv ~ N9hIha JOURNAL eFUetGL IgAt 20 wtRHl
New York, Dec. 11.-Capt Karl w.
Detzer. charged with brutality to pris-
oners in France, on several occasions
stood with a pistol in one hand and a
black jack in the other while his SER
geants beat up" a man in his GUS
tody, according to testimony given to-
day at his court-martal on Cover
nors Island
This testimony was given by Clar-
ence II. Lacey, of Indianapolis, one
Of the principal witnesses for the
prosecution, from whom the defense,
however, forced an admission that he
once had been convicted in Ohio of "a
crime and that he had faced various
charges while in the army.
Lacey, an ex-soldier, admitted he
had escaped from Captain De, ger, for
mer commander of the 30Sth military
police company, after he had been ar
rested by him on a street in Lemans
for being absent without leave. The
defense brought out that he also had
left his organization in this country
before 1t had sailed for France and
that in 1914 he had been accused Of
deserting from the Sixth cavalry.
Lacey testified that he had first met
Deter when he had come out of
cafe with Private Fred NJ. Yates, now
a military prisoner who, it is expected
VIII be called tomorrow by the prose-
cution. He said DetZer had challenged
them, that they lacked passes but that
Yates pretended he was taking him
TO the provost marshals office after
having found him in the railroad yards
where government property was lying
in freight cars. Lacey said Deter |
also ordered them to come along with :
him, but that after they had gone a |
short distance Yates dropped his hand |
to his revolver, and told the captain /
to beat it." Deter did, according to |
Lacey and he and Yates fled, but were |
later rearrested.
Lacey testified that on being
brought before Deter again he had !
received rough treatment from him
and his two sergeants, L. s. Madden |
and Frank l.. Hoyt. He said that once
Deter had ordered his sergeants to
take him out, give him chance to
run and if he didn't, make him, then
shoot and waste no bullets"
He said he had been beaten dozenI
times, on seven occasions before Det-
ler, who, he said, stood by with pis-
-oI in one hand a black jack in the
)tueT IN auullon, Lacey SAID Deter
had made him sit on bench for five
lays without sleep. If he dozed off,
ne said, he was grabbed by the hair
md pulled to his feet. He added that
No had been made to sign false state
nents after he had "been led to be-
ieve he would be punished by death"
{ he disobeyed.
In cross s-examining Lacey, Lieut..
Thomas L, Hefferman, defense coun-
elf who at the opening of the trial
declared the defendant had
incurred the wrath of many "hard
'haracters' while abroad, asked the
witness If he did not know of talk of
setting "Catpain DETER" He fol-
owed this with another question as
o whether 1t was true he had agreed
with Others to get together on one
tory" To both questions Lacey re-
led in the negative.
