Car Stolen and Wrecked

On Tuesday evening, DR.. Harry
Blitzstein employed John Harris and
John johnson to wash his new Chev-
rolet sedan car. They went to the
garage early the next morning, but
instead Of doing any washing they
took the car out and started for
Salem. When near the Georgetown
road they lost control of the car and
il turned OF the road and collided with
a telephone pole. The car was badly
damaged, the tenders being broken,
an axle bent and minor parts broken.
The men continued on, however, and
reaching Salem took the al to a
garage for repairs. In the meantime
Dir. Blitzstein missed his car and i'm
mediately notified the Chief of Police
of Salem. The Chief soon located the
garage and caught the men at work
trying to repair the damage.
The men were taken before Justice
d. Harris Smith and held for theft
and driving without a license. Bail
was fixed at $1,000 each in default of
which they were placed in the county
Jail to await the action of the Grand
Jury,

Serious Stabbing ARRAY

James Savage is lying in Cooper
Hospital, Camden, in a dying condition
and Frank Simmons is badly cut and
slashed about the hands and body, the
result of a quarrel and fight with Les
lie johnson, alias "Cateye."
The l.lf&ir occurred on Wednesday
evening at the boarding house of
Sim Blair on South Street, where
the men were putting up.
The trio were sitting on the front
porch and all hands got into ar argu-
ment owe a girl. All the parties in
volved are colored people. The dis
cussion grew too hot for mere words
and "Cat-eye" drew his ugly long blad-
ed knife and began slashing about
reck.essly. One thrust of the knife en-
tered Johnson's back and evidently
severed his spinal column as his body
at once became paralyzed. He was
hurried to Cooper Hospital. Last re-
ports gave little hope of recovery.
Simmons turned in to help his friend
and received some ugly gashes or his
hands and arms in the scrap. DR..
Prigger dressed his wounds and he
went to his home.

Answering a question concerning the
methods of Admiral Benson, the witness
said:
II never saw a situation get to the
Admiral when he did not act promptly

ment"
The greater part Of the morning ses-
sion was spent in q discussion of the
policies and methods of administration
which should be put into effect IL a
successful merchant marine Is to be es-
tablished. Mr.. Gillen said the first
thing should be to take the ships on
hand and "bravely determine" the price
at which they could be absorbed by
American capital. The ships will be
bought, ne said. II the price Is right,
though there must inevitably be a loss.
He said that the money already gone
over the dam Is lost forever, and the
attention of Congress should be fixed.
not upon what has gone before, but
upon the best way to establish the nler-
chant marine.
1.-THE Government should endeavor TO
aid investments In merchant marine Sc
curities" said Mr. Gillen, and the peo-
pie will buy these securities, just as they
do in Great Britain, If the right method
Is followed. But this must be done
quickly.
I'VE have had enough experience to
realize that It Is impossible for the
Government to create a board or any
organization to successfully control and
operate that big feet However. we
have that great. grizzly bear In semi
captivity. Much constructive work can
be done to put stronger control over
that property while 1t remains In the
hands Of the Government.
Now this is vital: There Is no greater
thing that Congress can do than to pass
promptly new legislation making 1t i'm
possible for people to handle Govern
ment property as they are now handling
It.
"I am afraid the Shipping Board will
not have the courage to meet the situa-
ton. When the American people realize
that $4,000, 000. 000--more than the first

Is going to be some fear on the part of
the board to meet the situation by TAX

OF operations to give me a chart show
ing me the cargo ships then laid up
In ports on account of a lack OF oil.
When the information was furnished
me some days later 1t showed that
fifty-four ships of the Shipping Board
fleet were laid up because they could
not get oil. and at the same time twenty
of the Shipping Board tankers were
being used by corporations and indi-
viduals for their own profit. The DAM
age to the Government which was be-
ing caused by the idle ships amounted
TO IS, 000, 900 month, and that damage
is still going on in large measure be-
cause the leases on the outside tankers
have not been cancelled"
100000 Monthly Loss to U. $.
Mr.. Gillen pointed out that there was
an acute shortage OF tankers last spr .ng
both a national and a world shortage
Yet, In spite of the great demand for
them. the Government leased twenty OF
it's tankers to private persons for $3.50
per lightweight ton per month. at time
when the rate for leasing tanners on the
open market was from SIS to S22 per
ton.
THE only piece of property for which
they had a demand and on which they
had chance to make profit" declared
Mr.. Gillen, was turned over to private
persons on terms that meant loss OF
100000 month"
Mr. Gillen said that the chart showing
these facts was submitted to Admiral
Benson, who acted at once to remove
Capt Foley from control of the opera
ton of the oil tankers. Admin al Benson,
he said, is now able to control the
situation because he has at hand the
contracts, delivery dates, the ports where
the tankers are, the amounts OF tankage
and the numbers.
There is just one thing wrong now,
said Mr. Gillen, land that Is that the
time charters Of the companies operating
Government tankers have not been
broken. The Shipping hoard should take
those tankers back even II the lessees
should sue for damages. Under the cir
cumstances, when we paid for the tank
ers, and are now paying in blood for oil
on the outside, we should have them
back"
The Shipping Board should get rid OF
the tankers which are not nee7ed. ne
said, because 100000 tons of this type
OF vessel are being built and when they
are completed the market price Of tank
ers will drop
