Governor Urges Support
Of World League Cause
Requests Delegates Named by
Whitman to Attend Atlantic
COuOrass


ALBANY, Jan. 2S.-In commenting
on recent request Of former Presi-
dent Taft and others of the League to
Enforce Peace that Governor Smith
appoint delegates to the Atlantic con-
gress TO promote the cause of a league
OF nations, the Governor tonight is
sued the following statement:
In December, 1913. Governor Whit
man was requested by the League to
Enforce Peace to name delegates to
the Atlantic congress. Later, the date
OF the congress was changed to Febru-
ary and 6, and have been invited to
share in the organization of the con-
gress, which is to be held in the Hotel
Astor, New York City.
81 am pleased that Governor Whit
man named delegates to this congress
and understand that mayors and coun-
ty judges throughout the state have
been invited to make additional desig
nations.
81 am assured that it is the purpose
OF the League to Enforce Peace to
promote, in every way possible. the
cause Of the league OF nations, and to
support President Wilson in his lead =
ership of the movement TO establish
such league as a part Of the greater
settlement, and join in the hope that
this congress Will be widely attended
by the people of our state"

Order for l,25O,OOO
Tons of Shipping Held Up
Simply Means Type of Vessels
Changes August /,
Saws p;ez

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.- Orders to
shlpyards not to begin work on ships
aggregatng from 100000 to ,250, 900
ocadweght tons, the keels for which
ordinarily would not have been laid
before next August /. arc now being
sent out by the Shipping Board.
Charles Picz. director general of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, said to-
day that yards on both the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts were affected.
"Ihe steel for the suspended ships
has not yet been rolled in most cases" "
said Mr.. Piez. 'and the orde1 does not
affect Immediately the operation of
any yards. II is not to be assumed
that the ships contemplated will not
eventually be built.
"Thc reason for the order is that
types of ships which it will be found
advisable to construct under peace
conditions are being determined by
the committee of experts which is now
at work. Their report is not yet avail
able and will not be available for como
time, but it is fairly cert in that it
will not be advisable to stat the con-
traction of some vessels that we're
contracted for during the war cmer-
gency. Contracts in this category are,
there refore, being suspended.
"Ships now under construction are
not affected by the suspension order,
nor does it affect any ships for which
kecls will be laid in the yard under
normal pressure up TO August.

Shippers DIsregarded

Complaining of the pcrsistency with
which the railroad administration has
put out new freight rates without Civ
ing the shippers affected a chance to be
heard, Mr.. Fulbright said:
$50 far as / have been able to asccr-
tain, there is no exception to the de-
sire on the part of the public that
Congress Immediately take action on
this matter; for we recognize that the
railroad administration viii probably
continue to act for some months, or
perhaps some two years, during which
time every rate adjustment in the
country can be changed and be made
effective before we have any oppor-
tunity Of hearing by the commissions
which have been created for such pur
pose. II is for this reason that we
desire Congress to take immediate ac-
ton, leaving the large questions Of re-
constructive legislation to be worked
out after thorough investigation"
Discussing the Gyc-year proposal Of
the Administration, the witness said:
at is true. az stated by Mr.. McAdoo,
that government operation has not mad
q fair tcst, owing TO the war condi-
tions, but certainly this much has been
ascertained by our shipping public,

TOGO to MineOla
For Wreck Trial
Change of Venue Granted
by Court, Who Finds SEN
timent in Kings County
Prejudicial to the Accused

Declaring 3. L. 7. officials indicted
on November l were tried and con-
vlcted in the eyes of public opinion
before an indictment was found against
them" Supreme Court Justice Callag-
han IN Brooklyn yesterday granted the
six defendants change of venue to
Nassau county.
In his opinion the Justice states that
he selected Nassau county not only
because he believes q fair trial can be
had there, but because the accessible
lty of Mineola, the county seat, will
Involve no great expense to the people
and no burden to the District Attorney.
He stipulates that if the parties agree
or another place for trial, he Will
gladly designate any county Of their
selection.
Counsel for the indicted men viii

Harry L. Levi is to-day or tomorrow to
decide upon a trial date. 1t was init
mated that Nassau County is acce pta Bile
to both the defence and prosecution.
The trials cannot be started i'm Mineola

there convenes for its next term.
Prosecution Ready. Says Lewis
District Attorney Lewis said that SO
far as he was concerned the trials could
begin next week.
I'VE are ready now. for that matter"
! he said, "but as it will take US few
days to move all the necessary para
phernalia and the witnesses to Nassau
County, it would probably be Monday
before we could get settled for action"
The. pre- judice against the B. Il 7.
officials in Kings County is uvmis-
taxable, according to Judge Callaghans
opinion, which contains more than
1000 words. Concerning this the JUS
tice says in part:
"Ministers OF the gospel FROM the
pulpit have denounced the defendants
and proclaimed their guilt Al or
victims of the wreck and their rea-
tives and q desire for vengeance has

ployes, thereby causing experienced
men to quit work"
Six Officials Indicted
More than ninety persons were killed
in the wreck and two hundred injured.
Two indictments were returned against
each Of six B. R. r. officials.
The defendants. who are at liberty on

creased in popularity.

He. this person who wrote the
book" he said, "is not satisfied with
it as a literary production, although
he still stands behind the things he

the handiwork and represented the
beliefs of President Wilson's most in
fuential adviser was first made pub
licly last September. when the book
was the subject of an attack by
Senator sherman. of Illinois. The
Senator asserted that the work was in
the nature of an autobiography.
