German Ships Figure.
Two of the former German ships
were brought into the inquiry for the
first time by Banzahf. He asserted he
had been instructed to check up bills
for the reconditioning of the former
German liner Hamburg, now the New
Rochelle. This ship was sold on a
charter contract to the Bal
tic Steamship Corporation. The sale
price. he understood, was approx
mately s9S5,00O, and the Shipping
tioning of the ship about $4,000
The bill of repairs for this ship, he
added, was about $1.5O0.000, which an
audit Of accounts reduced approxi-
mately $4,000. The discrepancy be-
tween the sale price of the ship and
the cost Of reconditioning, he said, he
could not explain without the con-
tract Of sale, which he did not have
with him.
The contract for the reconditioning,
he said. was awarded to the Morgan
Engineering Company Of Jersey City.
He also testified the steamer Mer-
curry. formerly the Barbarosa, was
taken to the same yard for recondi-
tioning. but after $175,000 had been
of lack Of funds.

that an investigation be made OF my

therefore, most urgently request the

Later he testified that he was part

Connolly and II. w. Roberts and that
they made an agreement with Sands to

$40, 900 loan for the firm. The other

Mr.. Boiling said that the commit

that he had nothing to do with award
ing contracts or making payments in
the Shipping Board, that none in the
Shipping Board. Emergency Fleet Cor
poration or any outside organization
had appointed him in connection with

He said his position with the Shipping

as forty-one.
Tells Of Graft.
Testimony that 10 per cent Of the
S7,OOO.000 Shipping Board repair bills in
the South Atlantic district was graft
was given here yesterday to the COM
mittee. The allegation was made by
Charles BSnzahf, a travelling auditor of
the board, out of New York 1t was
contained in a letter written by the wit
ness to the general controller Of the
board last July, read here by Chairman
Walsh and identified by the witness.
Means by which. the alleged graft
was made possible, the witness testified,
included lack Of inspections, failure to
check repair work, overcharges for ma
terials and labor and unnecessary re-
pairs. He cited an instance of a repair
engineer who. he said, had sat in pilot
house and approved repair bills amount
ing to thousands OF dollars without
ever looking at the work. He declared

May Not Materialise

Retailers who have been buy
ing mems clothing on an ex-
tremely conservative basis dur
ing the last few months, accord
ing to Irving Crane, secretary of
the National Association of
Clothiers, in tho expectation
that prices will be slaughtered
by manufacturers after Novem-
ber IS, when the price guaranty
expires. may be doomed to dlsap-
pointmcnt.
"lt does not appear he says
in a formal statement, "that any
of the manufacturers will dehb.
erately slaughter their suits. but
will be governed entirely by the
market as evidenced by the de-
mand. In none of the markets,
so far as we can discover, do
manufacturers contemplate Civ
ing fiat discounts or leveling
their prices on d fiat basis.
at is also certain that where
an appearance of radically
slaughtered prices is in evidence
1t will he of goods that either be-
cause of style or fabric have lost
the major part of their intrinsic
value and must be sacrificed for
immediate consunption."
There is a disposition among
manufacturers, said Mr.. Crane,
to dispose Of accumulated sur
pluses Of clothing gradually
rather than to unload rapidly.
