urday.
Learned Asks change.
The meeting which elected DR..
Simon was held in the Franklin
School yesterday morning. Notices
sent out were to the effect that
the meeting would take place in
the afternoon.
DR.. John Van Schaick, jr., .prede-
cessor of DR.. Simon as president of
the school board, explained last
night that the meeting hour was
advanced at the request of DR..
Henry B. Learned. a member of
the board.
BaIlou sworn In.
At the last minute Ii was de-
cided to hold the meeting in the

rived in time.
DR.. Ballou is staying at the City
Club until Sunday when he will
leave Washington for Pittsburg. He
is giving a series of lectures in the
Pennsylvania cities and will not re-
turn to assume his duties as super
intendent until after July IL.
Rumors Prevalent.
Talk current yesterday placed
much Importance on the resignation
of Van Schaick as president of the
board. The act was generally re-
garded as having much bearing on
the probable appointment of Van
Schaick as District Commissioner I'm
recess of Congress to succeed w.
Gwynn Gardiner. who resigned sew
eral months ago.
The speculation in this direction
is enhanced by the fact that DR.. Van
Schaick has been a regular caller
on Commissioner Brownlow at the
District Building.

BENSON DEFIES
SHIpTHREATS
Denounces Efforts Of For
eign Interests to Divert
Business from U. S.

Admiral W. S. Benson. chairman
of the shipping Board. yesterday
characterized as futile and Idle"
threats of foreign shipping inter-
ests to divert business from Amer
lean ports IL the Shipping Board
enforced the section of the new
merchant marine act which gives
preferential export and import
rates to American shipping.
Admiral Benson said that the new
shipping law will be carried out
In all its details. and any attempt
Of foreign shipping interests TO
cripple business either on the Pa
cifc or Atlantic coast will fnd the
Shipping Board prepared to allo-
cate American ships to move the
freight
The admirals statement was
called forth by reports that for
eign carriers, particularly on the
Pacific Coast, are conducting prop
aganda mainly in protest against
Section No. 2S of the new shipping
act. This section permits a pref
erential rate over railroads within
the United States on merchandise
moving in export and import in
American vessels, and provides that
whenever the Shipping Board Is of
the opinion that adequate shipping
facilities are not afforded by Amer
lean documented vessels, the sec
ton may be suspended. in. which
case the preferential rate also may
apply in connection with foreign
carriers.
Emphasizes sEmerEency" Power.
AS the section Is to be used" I"
said Admiral Benson, .only where
there Is ample American tonnage
to handle the export and import
commerce. we cannot conceive how
anyone who has studied the law
can assume the Shipping Board
would make general application of
the section
''\"thing can more surely bring
al enforcement of this Sec
: yer. than adoption by for
- ier3 of their threat to di-
- ness from American ports
United Ctates is in earnest
IN its "fforts to place within the
ownership of American citizens the
control of at least a part of its traf-
fic in import and export. II II should
by any possible means be held that

lack such authority to permit them
to protect American interests addi-
tional authorit, will be asked for
Foreign carriers snt these in the
United States interested more in

tiens will do well tc Iet sleeping

Admiral Benson called attention
to the fact that foreign interests
apparently cverlC oked the power
placed in the hands of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission by the
new railroad act. which gives the
commission authority in "cmer-
gency'' to direct trafiic or establish
an embargo against movements Of
freight The commits sion also has
authority 60 establish minimum
rates en- any ccmmt dity moving
subject to the Interstate commerce
act within the United Staes.
