 Administrative Board
By Associated Press

Washington, December 15.-Further testimony that Great Britian attempted to influence the wartime shipping policy of the American government, was given today by William Denman of San Fran cisco, first chairman of the board before the special House committee Investigating operations of the federal shipping agency.
 Mir. Dennan charged that the British mission which came to the United States in April 1917, and which was headed by Arthur J. Balfour, then British secretary oe state for foreign affairs, had under taken to influence the shipping board, and had succeeded in getting one of it's members elected to an administrative board which MT. Denman said he had at tempted to organize in New York to function with the shipping board.
 The member of the British mission elected to this board, he said, was Sir Connop Guthrie Mfr Denrnan told the committee that he did not know how between noon and 30 one day when he learned that members of the British nnis- sion were present.
 Afterwards the board had warm ses- sion," he contirued. Tt lasted % min utes, and all that had been transacted at the previous session was wiped out.
 The witness said his insistence the board be kept from British influence had more to do with his resignation than anything else and he testified while British cooperation, he did not want Great Britain to influence the board.
 Mr Dennran said he had frequent con ference with MT. Balfour and that 'cer- tain phases of the conference approached the real motive of the secret treaties.''
 He was willing to disclose the nature of the negotiations if President Wilson would consent.

 These suggestions are offered be- cause in some offices the ledgers and d number of the records are kept in vaults During business day many of these records will be taken out of the vault for brief use and then left out until closing time because of the extra steps or minutes required to put them back In this way if a fire occurs it will take more time than may be avail able to place all records in safety.
 Finally a good rule to adopt, whether for vaults or filing cabinets, is that all records be returned to the fires or fire proof record containers as soon as en- ployees are through using them. This will insure that no papers or books are left in desks overnight. The tendency is to lzeep in desk drawers the records needed to complete tomorrow's task If all records are placed in the fire proof containers every night, the little extra effort and time required will more than repay for itself in better fire protection. and the speedy renewal of business in case of disaster
