Witness Gives Sensational Testd-
mony At Shipping Board In
qury-S4V,OOO Brlbe.

New York, Dec. John Cranor,
assistant to the head OF the Wallace
Downey Snip Building corporation.
TO-DAY denled allegations OF Tucker
K Sands, former Washington
banker, before the congressional
committee Investigating shipping
bOaro affairs, that ne knew anything
OF a DIVISION OF a $4,000 bride
fund for procuring contracts OF the
board, II connection with which the
name OF K. W. Boiling, shipping
board treasurer, and brother-in-law
OF President Wilson, had been men
toned.
Cranor testified that while he was
in Washington the Providence COM
pany was endeavoring to procure a
contract for the CONSTRUCTION of 10
tug boats, and that he learned that
the financial standing OF the con-
Germ was mot satisfactory. to the
credit department OF the shipping
board"
Cranor said that after he had in
formed Mr.. Downey of this he was
sent to Washington to arrange q
credit for the Providence company
and took the matter to Sands. who
was then vice president and cashier
Of a Washington bank. This insti-
tuition, through Sands. then issued
a credit letter to the extent of
$125,000 to the shipping board for
the Providence Engineering cor
poration.
Agreed to Pay $4,000.
The witness said that he had
agreed to pay Sands $4,000 for ar
ranging this credit
Mr.. Downey and Sands eventually
settled the payment, Cranor said.
In reply to question Cranor said
he did not think $4,000 an Excess
sive fee to pay for Sands services,
explaining that the entire contract
amounted 10 more than $4,000, 900
and pointing to the alleged fact that
Mr.. Downey eventually settled with
Sands for $4,000 Or about l per
cent which was about as cheaply as
he could expect to do it.

Names WOMAN
AS ARBITRATOR


Springfield, Ill. Dec. 1.-Deluged
with letters from leading women's
organizations, not only Of Illinois,
but OF the entire country, the I'LL
nois industrial commission today
laid aside its prejudice against
woman as arbitrator and appointed
Miss Harriette Reid to the place.
She Is the first woman In the state
to hold such an Office.
Appointment OF Miss Reid, which
she said had previously been de-
MED simply because she is a wom-
an. came today after Governor
Lowden had called Omer H. Custer
of Rockford, member of the in
dustrial commission, into confer
ence. Miss Reid stood highest on
the civil service list for the Job the
governor was told. but appointment
had been withheld because of the
nature Of the work.
Constant Travelling.
1t requires constant travelling,
Mr.. Caster said, which the commits
sion thought woman united for.
The climax Of the fight against
that ruling came when Chicago
women's clubs threatened legisla-
tive investigation in q letter to the
governor. and then decided to call
on leading women in the movement
to appear before Governor Lowden
and the civil service commission
Dec. z. Investigation by the gov
ernor showed that the civil service
commission. in response to re-
quest to the Industrial commission
had held another examination a
week ago Saturday for new candi-
dates for the position. Miss Reid
took that test too and got q grade
above 80.
Ex-service men took the test and
would have been put ahead Of her
II that examination stood. Miss
Reid said.

BY Edward T. Hayn.
Doctor Wolfgang Won kapp, the
new German chancellor, although
born in this country is one OF the
bitterest enemies of the United States
A few years ago he wrote a pam
phlet and attacked the then chancel-
.or Won -Hollweg for his
conciliatory American policy. Holl-
veg replied that Won Kapp was "one
of the pirates of public opinion"
therefore Won Kapp challenged him
to a duel which Hollweg declined
owing to the fact that public utter
ance could not serve as the basis OF a
personal combat.
Won Kapp has been closely allied
with Won westarp and Won Hyde
brandt. leaders OF the anti-Ameriean
conservative agrarian parties.

SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS IN
MIDDlESEX- MONMOUTH

BY Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Sept. 14-In a state
ment issued today, State Commits
sioner OF Education Calvin n. Ken
dali declared that there Is still q
great shortage of teachers In the
public school system Of the state
He said there are about one hundred
schools that have not yet opened for
fall term because OF the inability
Of local boards to secure teachers.
The number would have been very
much larger IL local boards through
out the state had not very generally
increased salaries, stated the COM
missioner OF education.
Official figures showing the IA
cancies existing in teachers positions
in various counties we're made pub
lie by the Commissioner for all but
Bergen county. The latter report
ed "a considerable number" The
others showed the following:
Atlantic, %; Camden, II; Giouces-
ter, IA; Hunterdon, 2; Mercer /;
Middlesex, 4; Monmouth, 10; Nor
ris. 4; Ocean. 10; Salem. 10; SOM
erset, 1; Sussex, S; Warren, 2.
The principals OF the three Nor
NAL schools, respectively located at
Newark, Montclair and this city, re-
port that there has been a decided
enrolment of young women with
the fall entering classes for teacher
training owe the entrance totals of
a year ago. II Is estimated that APP
proximately 400 more have COM
meaced the course. as compared
with last years figures. The large
increase is attributed to the action
of school officials in raising the rate
of pay of teachers and in the pas
sage by the legislature Of a mini
mum wage law. For over a year a
campaign to bring the pay of
school teachers to the level of other
lines of endeavor has been under
way with the result that the Normal
schools are again filling up with
