Board Says He Will Have
Definite Announcement
to Make This Morning

AS the result Of numerous conferences
among operators, union and United
States Shipping Board officials yester-
day, there was every indication that
the seamen's strike, which has tied up
shipping here for the last three weeks,
would be settled to-day.
Raymond B. Stevens, vice ce-chairman
of the United States Shipping Board,
announced last night that he had in
formally discussed the situation with
representatives Of the seamen's unions
and the American Steamship Associa-
tion and whilo no conclusion had as vet
been reached, he would have a definite
announcement to make this morning.
Earlier in the day the full member

the Whitehall Building, where it was
voted to leave the whole matter In the
hands of the wage committee headed

turned in his resignation yesterday to
go back homo to Louisiana. Nine years
on the police force had convinced him,
he said, that he could make better
living catching 'coons in Louisiana
swamps than catching crooks in Brook

Living expenses will be less, he says,
and he can catch from thirty to fifty
coons day, getting from 45 to 60
cents apiece for their pelts.

The constant jazz from the dancing

A motion to dismiss two indictments
against Arnold Rothstein, charged

by Judge Mcintyre In General Ses-
sions. In making his decision, Judge
Mcintyre criticised tho District At

the crime upon the defendant" The

The indictments charged that on

assembled. Former City Magistrate

Hubert ellis, of Committee
of Teuton Relief, Says No
More Meetings of That
Kind Are To Be Risked
Audience Forgot Selves
Talk About Kultur and the
Wrongs to Fatherland
Deplorable, He Asserts

Whatever funds are raised by the
Central Committee for the Relief Of
Distress in Germany and Austria will
be obtained in future without public
meetings if Hubert ellis, one Of the
trustees Of tho committee, has his
way.
Mr.. ellis was chairman of the
meeting in the Deutscher Liederkranz,
III East Fifty-eighth Street, on
Wednesday evening at which 600 men
and women cheered the statement that
"the German spirit is not dead and
never will die" and applauded the dec
laration that America needs more
German kultur.
~ regret many Of the thinss that
were said at the meeting" said Mr..
ellis yesterday. at was charity
meeting and the speeches should have
been confined to charity 1t was most
unfortunate that the speeches we're as
they were-they should not have had
to do with Germany at all except as to
Germany's need of supplies"
Disapproves Speech
Mr.. ellis was asked about the
architect, who declared amid the ap-
plause of the audience:
Hunger has brought Germany to
her present position. Some say that
Germany now must die (cries of
Never! NeverD. Germany will never
die. Germany lives on though wound
ed sorely. We must do all in our
power to bring the German spirit,
German education and German kultur
to the American people and to the
world"
"I remember Mr.. Ruben saying that
Germany would never die" said Mr..
Cilfis. "But I do not think he said
what he was quoted as saying about
German education and German kultur.
| do not remember what he said but
think his idea was that German-Ameri-
cans must see that Germany regains
her old position. I did not approve
his speech, whatever it was. 1t would
have been better left unsaid"
How ABOUT the speech of A. Z. Nip
pert, of Cincinnati ?" Mr.. ellis was
asked. "Was he correctly quoted as
saying:
"'One hundred thousand times we
can forgive, but we never can forget.
We have borne the yoke of sad hearts
for five years. Let US show that we can
work not only for America but for our
old Fatherland.'
THAT is substantially correct" said
Mr.. Cillis. II do not think Mr.. Nippert
said old fatherland,' however, because
he was born in this country"
Lapse of the Tongue"
"Was not the term old fatherland'
used by several speakers quite often ?"
was asked.
"Yes," replied Mr.. ellis. "But that
was q lapse of the tongue. 1t meant
simply the old country which the
speakers had given up for new land,
America"
The most regrettable speech Of the
meeting, Mr.. ellis said, was that of
Abraham Brahms, recently released
from Ellis Island, where he had been
held as dangerous enemy alien
Brahms attacked the American pres.
for its Giles against Germany" and
urged call Germans to get together. !"
"No one approved Of his remarks" :"
said Mr.. ellis. at is because of In
cidents such as this that am opposed
to holding meetings Of that sort, which
can not be controlled. If have my
way we shall hold In future only small
meetings Of the committee"
