HURLEY SAYS SHIP
BOARD WILL BE FAIR
Builders to Have Equitable
as Well as Legal Ad-
justments.
Special Despatch 10 THE sux.

WASHINGTON, May 4. Chairman
Hurley of the Shipping Board issued a
statement tonight declaring that the
attitude of the Board was not for ruth
less cancellations Of future shipbuilding
contracts but that In revising its build
ing programme the Board planned to
take care of SO per cent of the nations
foreign commerce, a figure recognized
by shipping men as the proper proper
ton of trade which we should transport
in our own ships. Mr.. Hurley said:
I'VE are working on a plan to show
the type, size and speed OF ships re-
quired to meet the needs Of different
trade routes. During the first few
months following the signing of the
armistice we cancelled contracts calling
approximately for 1900. 900 tons of steel
ships and about 100000 tons OF wood
ships"
THE Emergency Fleet Corpor alton
cancelled these contracts because II was
felt that We should not continue building
ships at high war costs under peace con-
ditions with money appropriated for war
emergency purposes, especially where
such ships were not to be delivered until
1920. Many of the ships SO cancelled
were of size and type not commercially
and economically advantageous in time
of peace.

C.. p. HAS CHANCE TO
REDEEM BALTIMORE
Democratic Split May Glue
Republicans MayoraIty.
Special Despatch 10 The SUS.

BALTIMORE, May 4.-One Of the hot
test municipal campaigns waged In this
city in many years ended last night.
on Tuesday there are to be elected a
Mayor, President of the Second Branch
of the City Council. Comptroller and
members OF the two branches of the
Council. The fight was centred on the
head of the respective tickets. George
Weems williams being the Democratic
candidate and William f. Broening.
now state Attorney, the Republican
candidate.
On form Williams should be the win
ner. as the affiliated Democratic vote In
the city exceeds that of the Republican
by $4,000 But the figures are mislead-
ing, as thousands of Republicans regis
tered as Democrats TO vote against
Mayor James II. Preston. who was
Williamss opponent in the primaries
Broening was unopposed In his party
Much bitterness developed in the
Democratic primary fights. rival bosses
being pitted against each other. Pres
ton was defeated and the feeling en-
rendered still exists. Taking advan-
taRe OF this condition and the fact that
williams has been a corporation attor-
ney, Broening launched vigorous cam
paign and throughout has kept his =
ponent on the defensive. Wlliams's sup
porters also made the mistake of raising
the class issue. wnereupon labor lined
up with Broening.
Both parties claim the election. but
the indications favor the Republicans.

DYING MEN NOT INsURABLE.
War Risk Bureau Explains why
Some Claims Are Unpaid.

WASHINGTON, May claims for
deaths Of men in military service re-
sulting either from natural causes or
from battle are not payable under the
war risk insurance act IL application for
insurance was made while the applicant
was in a dying condition" 1t was ex-
planned in a statement to-day by the
War Risk Insurance Bureau.
This provision Of the law was pointed
out. 1t was said. to correct an erroneous
impression that the bureau was refusing
to pay claims on deaths from natural
causes. The conditions under which a
man dies, 1t was said. do not affect the
payment OF claims. but only the condi-
lions upon which he makes application
for insurance.

Report in Ten Days.

Within about ten days the Shipping
Board will have a complete report show
ing the ships required in the different
trade routes throughout the world. This
report will cover the freight as well as
the passenger service We should have In
order to establish a well balanced mer-
chant marine. This report will have an
important bearing on the changes which
may be made in the construction pro-
gramme.
The preliminary data shows that
there should be substituted a number OF
larger and faster ships for some OF the
smaller and slower types contracted for
during the war. II must not be for
gotten that when the country was at
war the demand was for the largest
number OF ships that could be built
within the shortest possible time.
THE substitution Of these larger and
faster vessels will give the United States
better balanced. more efficient and
more useful fleet. At the same time It
will enable the shipbuilders to become
familiar with the building of this type
OF ship. Also II we are TO have a nrcr-
chant marine suited to the needs Of the
United States we must have certain
number of high class passenger cargo
liners. To build these experience is re-
quired and we must work up to 1t.

ceive all this help. Let's figure
just little, the state pays IS
per cent and the county rs per
cent, now with this taxable prop
erty in the same proportion as it
was when I left your county,
the interpretations doing business

only I2H cents to each dollar

most enough men in the county
that only pay a poll tax and
would not have any cf this tax

he would be in Mt. Vernon and
that for every $I2 so that each

that he would give them bach
$Ioo 90. Now a fair question
How many of you would try and

proposition before you on March

p. HI. SHUTS SPEAKS
FOR THE 2O-CENT
TAX

Danville, Ind Feb. "a, 1o1o
Editor Nit. Vernon Signal,
Mt Vernon, KY.
Dear Edgar
1 am enclosing a 50 90 check
winch you will place 10 my credit.
We all welcome and enjoy the
Signal as it is like getting a..letter
from a friend and not put to
the trouble of answering it. But
if you will allow me a little space
in your valuable paper l will
write letter to my Rockcastle
friends, making one letter do for
all. For the first time in five
years that l have lived in Indiana
have / been moved to write a
public letter to my dear old
friends and neighbors. But it is
of vital importance to you dear
people I could not resist giving
my opinion on the subject of
Good Roads. and especially the
voting of the 2Dc tax. I knew
you had this subject up last Nov
ember TO vote on but did not
even dream of it being voted
down. as they were assured by
the Fiscal Court that your tax
rate would not be raised. and
that the State would pay IS per
cent of it. And that it should
take the place of the present road
levy, but to my great surprise it
was voted down. Now dear peo-
pie, it was the condition OF the
roads in old Rockcas.Ie and the
unwillingness of the people to
vote a bond on themselves to
improve the highways as they
claimed they were able to build
and maintain gelSd roads that l
left the County. Even if their
theory was right at that time,
which I thought you were mis-
taken in, it is not the case now,
as you cannot afford not to re-

ipoliS the same time these fast
trains did aud the automobile ar
rived first in Terre Haute, the
Big 4 train train stopping at
Greencastle one minute and the
Penn, not making any stop at all.
So you see they had to go some.
But the State and Nation offers to
help improve this road and offers
to pay so per cent of the cost,
so our county officials apprepri
ated $4,000 90 to the mile, which
makes $4,000 90 to our part. We
believe in receiving gifts. If you
had such roads l would not be
writing tins letter. If you get
scared at 81 80 tax to the $Ioo. 90
I advise you not to come to Indi-
ana to live for there are two things
we must do, pay taxes and die
And our tax rate was only $3.48
to the Sloo 90, and $500 poll tax
/ would rather pay that much and
have on convenlences as to be
back in Rockcastle and not have
good roads.
AS long as I live I intend to
come back to see my old friends
every 2 or S years and that is all
1 ever expect to be benefited by
you voting this tax. But if you
can't see your way clear and vote
it down again 1 will come just
the same even if I have to walk
through the fields from house to
house.
Ny dear friends this time last
year you might have had a more
serious question to be settled
that of winning the World War,
but this one, to be serious, is al
most an equal. What is a coun
