TALK WITH Mr.. HURLEY
TALK WITH Mr.. HURLEY

Copyright. 1919. BY New York Evening Post }
PARIS, January 2s.-President VIII
son and Edward N. Hurley are devot-
ing attention to the problems of the
American merchant marine. A great
deal OF pressure for decision on this
subject has been coming from the
United States. Messages received from
the shipping board indicate the insist
ence that there should be some deter
mination as to whether many of the
ships which are unsuited to American
purposes should be sold or placed on
contracts. and whether some of those
now under construction should be can.
celed and new contracts let with the
money obtained from the sale Of those
vessels under construction. or whether
foreign offers for them should be ac-
cepted.
Early Decision Expected.
The American phases are not alone
involved in the present situation. and
the general development of the
American policy depends directly upon
certain other questions, the economic
character of which becomes para
mount just now in the diplomatic
discussion. There is every reason to
expect an early decision, but it is
doubtful whether much can be done for
a fortnight. Mr.. Hurley plans to leave
here within a week for America. He
Will present all data he has obtained
here to the shipping board and get
ready the general program of a pol
icy for submission to President Will
son on his return to America about
February 25.
May Sanction Sale.
The impression seems to prevail that
when all problems are finally solved
the sale of the International Mer-
camille Marine vessels probably will
be sanctioned. though precautions will
be taken in the case of other vessels
to safeguard American registry and
control as much as possible in order
to develop our merchant marine.

Douglas Citizens
 In Water } Hours
 From ClOudburst

DOUGLAS, July Mrs. W. H. Neel. a wealthy ranch and cattle owner, her son, Walter, and William Burner of Greens burg. Pa. who is visiting them at their ranch 25 miles north of Douglas, waded five and a half hours through a flood due to a cloudburst. which engulfed the automobile in which they were riding Saturday night. Momentarily threatened with death, they kept up their attempts to reach land from o'clock Saturday until 1:30 Sunday morning. when they emerged from the flood near the Four Bar ranch. the Neel home. Mrs. Neel., who was badly bruised, reached here to- night by train to have her hurts attend ed. The young men escaped without se- rious consequences.
 The party had been in Douglas all day Saturday. shopping When near McNeal. four miles from the Neel ranch, they were caught in the rain but thought by pushing ahead they could escape the in evitable flood in the White River basin. They reached the usually shallow stream just as the flood had begun to come down and were forced to abandon the car when it overturned in a hole. For more than five hours wading water from waist to neck deep and at times forced to cling to barded wire fences to keep from being washed away by the rushing water they continued their efforts un- til they effected their own deliverance.

FEDERAL AGENT DENIES AIDING
 MOONEY CASE

SAN FRANCISCO, July 7.-The San Francisco Bulletin prints today a Washington dispatch quoting J. B. Densmore, director general of the fed eral employment service as denying responsibility of the employment ser, vice or of himself for any investiga- tion made in San Francisco of the conduct of Charles M Fickert, dis trict attorney and others connected with the prosecution of Thomas J. Mooney.
 Densmore said the investigation was made by agents of the department of labor who had worked with him in collecting evidence in. cases invol- wing Chinese immigration These in- spectors, he said, discovered an op- portunity to present further evidence to the secretary of labor on the sub ject of the fairness of the trial of Thomas J. Mooney, by the states attorney for San Francisco, which subject has been gone into by the commission appointed by the president, of which the secretary of labor was chairman"
 in his absence, Densmore said, the inspectors were authorized to continue the Fickert investigation in connec- tion with their other work.
 Unfortunately" Densmore adds, some of this report fell into the hands of the publisher of local paper. who published it without any authority whatever

that the Cochise county delegates vot- ing strength when added to the coun- ties already pledged to his support will be the deciding factor He has brains and ability, and is not looking for a political job of any kind" Mir Cassidy's talk was received with en- thusiasm by those present, as it brought forth the oft discussed ques- tion concerning which there has been considerable transformation The clear-cut analysis and force of MT. Cassidy's figures convinced all those present that the bugaboo that the fu- ture destiny and policies of the American Legion either in the state or national convention being con- trolled either directly or indirectly by officers is a farce.
 In this issue of the Review there is an article telling in detail the plans by which Sgt. Andy Martin will be put over" at the convention.

ATTYS. SCORE IN FORO
 LIBEL CASE

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, July IT. Defending the Chicago Tribune against charges of pro-German mo, tives made by the plaintiffs council opening the case, Tiffany Blake, chief editorial writer for the news paper occupied the witness stand in the Henry Ford-Chicago Tribune li, bel suit in today's session of court.
 Mir. Blake declared the policy of the Tribune was strictly American, ism and that the editorial which called Mir. Ford "an archist" was pub lished in support of the government and ito offset the influence of MT. Ford's pacifist utterances."
 The Tribune, Mr. Blake said. had differed with president Wilson and with many Americans on the sub- marine issue until after the sinking of the Lusitania and the entrance Of the United States into the war.
 MT. Blake outlined other points of the newspapers policy as denying the right of sinking unarmed merchant men without visit and search; op- posing the carrying of munitions on passenger boats; opposing the carry ing of passengers on boats with mu- nitions aboard and imposing an em- bargo on shipment of supplies to any belligerent nation.
 Immediately following the sinking of the Lusitania, the witness said. the Tribune believed war logical but after the series of notes between this government and Germany it could not see it's way clear to plunge the country into war. At all times, how ever, he declared, the newspaper an nounced it's intention to stand sQuarely behind the president in whatever action he took
 Attorney Weymouth Kirkland, of council for the Tribune, asked the witness what the nations interests the newspaper considered paramount in it's editorial discussions.
 'Those of the United States, first, last and all the time" Mr. Blake replied. That is the test we wish applied to our utterances at any stage of the world war"

NOn-P artisan League
 Heads Are on Trial For SeditiOus Speech

JACKSON. Minn.. July 7.-Joseph Gil bert, former non-partisan league organ ization manager and co-defendant with President A. C. Townley. testified in dis trict court here this afternoon that he never conferred with Townley regarding the speech which Gilbert made at Ken yon in 1917 and at Lake Cloud in 1918, and that Townley never conferred with him concerning addresses which Town ley made during the war.
 Townley and Gilbert are on trial charged with conspiracy to foster disloy- atty by means of public speeches and literature.

Who will feed these boys when they are in the trenches 5000 miles away"
 Gilbert testified today that he said: Why. the boys on the farms are render ing just as valuable service toward win ming the war as the boys in the trenches"
 ''I also said who would feed the boys in the trenches if all would be at the front" Gilbert added.
 Gilbert denied that he said in a speech at Kenyon. August F, 1917:
 We were stampeded into this war by newspaper rot to pull England's chest nuts out of the fire.'

SERGEANT ANDREW P. MARTIN TO BE SUPPORTED
 FOR LEGION'S HEAD
TucSon CitiZen)

PHOENIX July 7-Maricopa county's delegation, p strong, is com ing to the state convention of the American Legion which opens at Tue son on Friuay of this week, pledged as unit to support Sergeant Andrew P. Martin, former state senator from Pima county, for the honor of head ing the organization in Arizona. This assures the Pima county man of the nucleus of strong support on the floor of the convention, for with the Maricopa and Pima delegations be- hind him he will have 30 votes out of the 103 to be cast from the very start. Other counties are expected by the MaricOpa delegation to throw their strength to the Pima county man.
 Issuance of the official call for the convention by Secretary Fred Blair Townsend of the temporary organiza- tion of the American Legion brought few surprises. As had been predicted the number of delegates to which each county is entitled is based on the number allotted each county in the draft quota; one delegate being chosen for each 100 men in the draft quota. On that basis of selection, pre- liminary estimates worked out by members of Frank Luke post here are not far from correct. The official quotas as furnished by Secretary Townsend today are as follows:
 Apache, &; Cochise, 19; Coconino, 12, Gila, 13; Graham, 8; Greenlee 5; Maricopa 22; Mohave, 3; Pima, 8; Pi- nal, 8; Santa Cruz 2; Yavapai, 13; and Yuma, 5. The fact that the num- Der of delegates is limited to 103, how ever, is not meant to limit the num- Der of service men attending the con- vention. Townsend makes this clear in his letter of notification. He states that it is desired that every service nan possible attend the con- Vention. All service men present will be accorded the privileges of the floor for debate and discussion Voting powers, however, will be limited to delegates only, and the unit system of voting will prevail in the conven- tion.
 The method of selecting the dele gates to the convention is left to each county, but Secretary Townsend suggests that some meeting be called in the limited time left, in order that delegates may be chosen and creden- tials furnished them. Properly ac- credited delegates together with members of their families are to be given special rates of one and a third fares to the Tucson convention. They will be obliged to pay the full fare to Tucson, and should take a receipt from the ticket agent, showing the amount paid. Vouchers will be furn- ished by the state secretary, at the convention, and upon presentation of same to the ticket agent at Tucson, return tickets will be sold at one third fare.
 Announcement has been made by Townsend that reduced rates have been made by Tucson hotels for the convention, so that room accommoda- tions can be obtained by any service man for a minimum price of $1. Mem bers of Maricopa county's delegation to the convention will be selected to- night, it was announced today.

SEN. JOHNSON PLAYS LEAGUE

PROVIDENCE, Ri, July 7.-Senator Hiram w. Johnson of California, speaking tonight, declared the pro- posed League of Nations was not in reality an association to prevent war gigantic war trust"
 'In its very creation" he added, "it has been stripped of every idealistic purpose it ever had. It contains with in itself the element of many wars. and worse than that, 1t riVets as in the Shantung decision, the chains of tyranny upon millions of people and cements for all time unjust and wick ed annexations.
 This League of Nations, with the men who really wrote 1t, was meant to obtain peace only insofar as peace maintained forever inviolate their ter ritories and their subject peoples: ana 1t was meant that this kind of peace the power and the force of the Unit ed States.
 Summing up his arraignments of the league covenant, the senator said:
 'It means that must abandon the lessons of my youth, which until this moment have been the creed of my manhood of American ideals and American patriotism; that must deny Americanism I taught my chil- dren and that under Gods blessing I hope to teach my grandchildren. It means the halting and betrayal of New World liberalism. the triumph of cynical Old World diplomacy, the hu- utilization and end of American ideal ism. The issue is Americanism, and am an American"
