ship had been abandoned by the Govern
ment.
Capt Joseph II. whelton OF Boston,
one OF the principal witnesses. in reply
to question asserted that he believed
the local wreckers had right % take
the goods from the ship, as no lights
were left on her, there was no one on
board, nothing to guard her and her
anchors, chains and mornings were gone.
Capt. Whelton was called to give evil
dence al to his efforts to obtain the con-
tract for salvaging the cargo. He testi-
fed that he was in touch last February
with Col w. w. Yates of the Army
Quartermaster's Department at Boston
regarding the contract. and that Col
Yates informed him there was then but
one other bidder, the Ship Trading and
Construction Company of Stonington,
Conn., The witness said that Col. Yates
told him the Washington instructions
were to award the bid to the one holding
the contract to take out the cars in
that portion of the cargo belonging to
the French Government.
AT that time" said Capt. whelton,
IT had a contract with the underwriters
insuring the French cargo to recover the
car part. There was raised 'the ques-
ton of whether the French High Com
mission or the underwriters had the let
ting of this contract. At conference
In New York 1t was agreed that the
underwriters had this power. 1t was
suggested at this conference that / get
together with the Ship Trading and Con-
struction Company so as to avoid fric-
ton. That company was already hand
ling the contract to take out portion
of the French cargo consisting Of steel
billets.
A working basis was reached, and OF
course / thought the American cargo
contract was mine certainly. The next
thing that learned was that the con-
tract had been given to the Mercantile
Wrecking Company"
Capt whelton said he had no def
mite knowledge Of the latter company.
The committee will go to New Bed
ford tomorrow for the purpose Of CIV
ing a hearing to officers of the Mer-
camille Wrecking Company. which sal

LIBERAL UNIONISTS
SEE VICTORY AHEAD
Prime Minister'S Statement of
Policy at ottawa Favor
ably Received.

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct 2. A definite
statement OF policy was made to the
Unionist cause this morning by the
Prime Minister and was favorably re-
ceived by the members. The policy had
been considered in detail at a session
of the Cabinet on Saturday. The Lib
ral-Unionists considered the situation
at caucus on Tuesday, but to-day's
gathering was the contamination of
what is believed to be the prelude to
victory at the polls in the seven bye
elections, October 81.
There was the utmost harmony and
not a little enthusiasm. No final de-
cision was made on the formation Of a
permanent party, but the agreement on
terms and policy is regarded Of more
significance than name or exterior or
ganization. The Liberal Unionists will
remain a distinct political entity, but
they are further tonight from their old
associates than ever before.
Hume Cronyn. nephew of Edward
Blake, was chairman of the caucus.
Speeches were made by the Prime Min
lister, Sir George Foster. n. w. Rowell
and ]. A. Calder. all in agreement on
policy. A later caucus will be held, at
which the policy will be finally passed
on by the members and given to the
public before the bye elections. The
principles involved are:
Nationalism for Canada as distinct
nation within the British commonwealth,
a national tariff policy, care of soldiers
and their dependents, efforts to promote
cooperation between capital and labor.
select immigration. development of the
national railways, mercantile marine in
Guiding requirement OF the Grand Trunk,
economy In finance, and an enort TO
maintain the trade of Canada at high
level, and with the favorable balance ex-
listing and giving natural resources over
to the provinces.
There are forty-four Liberal Unionists
and ninety-eight Conservative-U nionists
in a House of $50 seats. At present
there are seven vacancies, SO that as
things stand now the Government has
a clear majority of fifty-six. But there
Is another aspect which lends life to the
political possibilities in the possible re-
union OF all Liberals. Should the eighty
six Liberals now under the leadership OF
Mackenzie King, and the forty-four Lib
eral- Unionists come together they could
defeat the Ministry and either carry on
the Government, or force dissolution OF
Parliament and precipitate general
election.
Such a combination would be for
midable force in a general election. But
the Prime Minister is an able strategist
He has shown confidence in Rowell, Sif-
ton and Calder, the strong Liberals in
the Government, and has won their con-
fidence in return. Sir Robert Borden is
never In hurry on big issues. In this
case he has given his allies time to
shape their own course and opportunity
to share in the duties and responsible
ties OF Government.
After to-days events the alliance Is
stronger than ever between the war
Liberals and Conservatives, and 1t looks
as II they will ultimately cement the
alliance into permanent form as a ma
Ftional party.
Sir Robert Borden leaves for Hot
Springs, Va. soon for a stay Of two
months.

Perpetuates Wrongs.
POINTS AN INCONSISTENCY
Quotes Wilson in Paris and
London and His Changed
Views at Golden Gate.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. a. United
States Senator johnson told more than
1000 women at luncheon here to-day
that the peace treaty with its shantung
provision Is a blot on American honor
and that the League of Nations as now
constituted would make America a party
to perpetuating this and other wrongs.
The women were enthusiastic and
time after time interrupted the speaker
with applause and cheers. The audi
ence represented the woman leaders in
professional. business and social life Of
the city.
j This was Senator Johnson's third and
final speech In San Francisco on his
present speaking tour. President Will
son spoke here two weeks ago in sup
port of the League OF Nations covenant.
Senator johnson left tonight for Los
Angeles to continue his fight. From CAL
ifornia he goes to Oregon, Washington,
Utah and Colorado.
The Senator described the league as
"a league of great Powers Of the earth to
preserve power and existing govern
ments."
The great question. said Senator John
son. was giving power over United States
resources and military forces to the
league instead of keeping this power in
the hands Of Congress and the American
people.
y In discussion of the Shantung set
Element Senator johnson said:
THE President talked to you concern
ing Shantung In a fashion which he had
never spoken before. In Paris. to use
his own words as related TO US, the
Shantung decision was shameful In
Washington he described II as 'abomi-
hable and detestable.'
The Shantung decision, when 1t
reached San Francisco. was not only
iustifiable, but justified by him. 1t was
Justified by him unpn the theory that in
the past China had been despoiled, that
during the Presidency of Mckinley, and
while Hay was Secretary of State, China
had been robbed of territory and that in
the past these different powerful nations
had imposed upon China and unjustly
deprived her of land.
"What a strange mind 1t is that can
describe the same act as shameful in
Par s, 'abominable and detestable' in
Washington. as justified justifable in San
Francisco, and what a stranger mind 1t
Is that calmly and naively presents what
II terms a former despoiling of China
IN justification of present robbery"
