Senator Harding's declaration that
larger sums should be paid to Ameri-
can ship owners for carrying mails
in order to enable the merchant
marine to meet foreign competition is
viewed by shipping men here as
step toward offsetting the advantages
held by the ships Of other nations, but
as one step only.
Contracts for carrying mail, it is
pointed out, would benefit a few lines

PREDICT DEBS AS
SOCIALIST LEADER

NEW YORK, May lathe Socialist
party machinery was all set today for
the nomination this afternoon of Eu-
gene V. Debs as its standard bearer in
the approaching presidential election.
Although Debs is now serving a l0-year
term in the federal penitentiary at At
lanta, for violation of the espionage
act, he has been agreed upon by all
leaders of the party as the logical man
to head the ticket.
No candidate has been decided upon
for the vice presidency.
When the delegates reconvened this
morning they began consideration of
the party's platform for the 1920 cam
paign.
The report of the resolutions COM
mittee also was before the convention
today. II includes a resolution in favor
of woman suffrage and demands that
the Legislature of Delaware and Louisi-
ana Immediately ratify the suffrage
amendment to the constitution.
The convention will include its delib,
eratons tomorrow. The delegates and
a large number of the party will then
go by special train to Washington where
a demonstration will be held Saturday
in behalf of amnesty for political pris-
oners A committee will call upon Sec
rotary Tumulty to place before him
memorials on the subject for President
Wilson's consideration.

Jess Barnes stands out as not only
one Ct the leading members of the
Giants formidable pitching staff, but
one Of tie most dependable and con-
sIstent hurlers in the big show today.
And every time he has hung up
victory for Jawn McGraw-every time
he has turned one in since the spring
of l9lS-GeOrge Stallings of the Braves,
has deliberately bitten a quarter cigar
in twain.
Recall the reason?
Back in 1917 the Braves were wal
lowing along I'm the basement Stallngs
was trying to haul them out of the
ground, \ three cornered deal was
cooked up finally with the Giants and
cubs by which George hoped to help
matters a little The Giants were asked
to hand over Buck HerZOg and another
infieldcr to the Bravelets. Stallings
was to send George Tyler to the Cubs,
the cubs sending Larry Doyle and Art
Wilson to Beantown. Stallings agreed
to turn over to MCGraw Doyle and any
pitcher the little Napoleon named-and
figured, Of course, 1t was the steady
Old vet, George Tyler lawn wanted
MCGraw chose Barnes
Stallings tainted.
Revived.
HOWled.
Complained.
But JaWn sat tight and held StalingS
to his word.
Barnes had won six games and lost
only one for Jawn in 1918 when called
for war service.
The war didn't affect his effective
ness, apparently, Last season he won
IS games out of SO starts, leading the
league in victories and ranking second
to Lee Meadows in the number of
games in which he played.
Barnes was nCked his first time out
this year, but retaliated with two clean
cut victories. Given a good break,
Barnes ought to have as good year
as he had last-Or perhaps better.
Twenty-Five victories will please Jawn
McGraw and the Gotham fans nightly.

upon which fireman was standing
The steel ladder was immediately
charged with electricity and the man
was knocked unconscious from the con-
tact with the charged wire. McNeir
climbed on n wooden ladder and took
hold OF the fireman and both were pre-
cipitated to the street, distance OF
DO feet. 1t was six weeks before both
recovered. The metal Is engraved with
the winners name upon II, and also
the inscription, Greater love no man
hath than this that he would lay down
his life for "A friend
In addition to this medal, Mr. Nc
Neir has n diamond studded medal
which he received for winning the
