GREAT ROW OVER PLANS TO SELL STEAMSHIPS
 TO FOREIGNERS

Washington. Feb. 13-The pro- posal of the Shipping Board to sell captured German steamers to foreign shipping interests has raised a storm in Congress. A concurrent resolu. ton directing the Shipping Board not to sell thirty former German liners, which the board plans to dispose of at public auction Monday. except through regular public bidding and after three months advertising, and then only if proper references were received. was introduced by Senator Ashurst in the Senate today. Ashurst declared that it was a fact that the Shipping Board intended to sell the vessels to inter- national merchantile marines for $2S.. 100000. He said the vessels had q prewar value of $154.oOO.0 900 and theil present value in view of the depleted tonnase of the world was close tt $500, 100000. The resolution was re ferred to the Senate Commerce Con- mittee.
 An application for an injunction against the Shipping Board to pre- vent the sale of the former German liners at public auction was filed in the District of Columbia Supreme

In accordance with announcement made last fall before his departure for the States. Mr. samuel Keane whose oil drilling operations in the vicinity of Tasting Creek have attracted much attention during the past. has decided to sell small quantity of the stock Of his company to local purchasers and has authorized Vim. Webb to con- traci for local sales. Mir. Keane in formed the Nugget last fall that he would consent to the sale of small quantity of stock locally. not as . means of raising money. but as q tes. timonial of good faith in his project by the residents of the section in which he is working. It is well known that Alr. Keane has made no attempt to enlist the interest or as- sist;nce of people here during the sev- eral years in which he has engaged in oil drilling. In fact he has at all times betrayed Il strong dsinclination toward attracting attention, preferr. ing. he said. to demonstrate the possi. bili,ies of his project thoroughly be. fore acquIinting the public.
 F. forts of Nugget representatives to secure interviews for publication have beer consistently denied during the eNis ence of the present management: until last fall. when the results of his labors had demonstrated conclusively that crude oil exists in perceptible

 Mir. Webb received a wire from Mfr, Keane. Saturday asking him to advise by wire regarding the number of shares of stock Nome people will take. The message was dated at Camden. New Jersey. where the headquarters of the Keane company are located The message said the purchase value of the stock will be 50 cents. On re- ceiving the desired information, Mir. keane will reserve the stock wanted and will bring in the certificates when he arrives in the Spring. payment being deferred until delivered to the subscribers. Mir. Keane says he is coming in with big outfit. indicating that he intends operating on a greatly enlarged scale next summer.
 Mir. Webb commenced taking sub- scriptiuns Monday morning. The sre- suits so far have been excellent and demonstrate that there is much inter- est in the project. the success of which will mean so much to the town and district.

 port deliveries at specific times. As q result of this refusal on the part of
 the regular carriers. the government
 is left no alternative but to either
 forward the mails when it suits the
 transportation companies to take them
 or to subsidize a boat at great addi- tional cost. As matters stand at present the latter is the only means by which
 more frequent service may be main itained. Because of the already ex- Ieessive cost of the winter mail service t is plain that the Postohice depart

Taking the situation all in all, lit appears that we would be displaying excellent judgement if we devoted some of the energy expended in cuss- ing the present service to working for the early establishment of air service. Intelligent action in this direction would, in the opinion of the Nugget. bring us q really satisfactory mail service within the year.

WEEKLY 1ST CLASS MAILS
 NOT GUARANTEED

As some misapprehension exists re- gardins the frequency of mail con- signments containing no first class matter from the States the Nugget finds it desirable to amplify the ex- plantation made in these columns last week by stating that the government announcement last fall regarding the reduced service in no way intimated that weekly deliveries of first class matter form the Outside were guaaan- teed. The announcement was to the effect that it was expected to provide weekly deliveries of first class matter and all possible effort would be made in that direction.
 Owing to the present limited trans portation service between Seattle and Southern Alaska points. 1t would mani festly be impracticablc for the gov- ernment to guarantee weekly first class mails. As things are at present such results could be accomplished only by subsidy. or the payment of a large bonus to the regular carriers Postoffice depa artment announcements last fall minated that q proposal of this character was under consideration and might be resorted to in case 1t be- came necessary by reason of continued curtailments of the service maintained by the common carriers.

RAIDS ON "STILLS"
Federal and County Officers Get
Busy in Topeka.
Strange Apparatus Found in
Two Houses.

Federal and county authorities to-
day raided alleged liquor stills in To-
peka and vicinity.
The first raid at the home of A. A.
Pottinger, negro, 796 East Eighth ave-
nue., netted nothing. However, the Of
ficers obtained a lead" there which
took them to the home of Albert Moss,
1409 Reed street, where they found
a strange apparatus filled with sour
mash. Moss claimed Pottinger took
the device to his home. If further in
vestigation reveals that either Pottin-
ger or Moss were engaged in making
liquor they will be prosecuted by the
government, officers stated.
sid" Nelson, negro porter at the
National hotel, was the next man on
the list First, the authorities locked
sid" up in the county jail. Then,
they went to his home at 913 East
Eleventh street. They could find moth
ing there, except an empty bottle
which had the odor of whisky.
Next, they visited the home of John
Petit on the Granville road. There
they found another apparatus and sew
eraI bottles of liquid which had the
odor of cider. Also a bottle of what
officers say was elderberry wine was
found there. Petit was arrested.
Government officers who directed
the raids today say that since the
bone dry law became effective in
Kansas, stills" are as plentiful as
grasshoppers were in the old days.

MAKE own GOODS
Kansas Ultimately Must Manu-
factHre Products Consumed.
Il. e. Head Addresses Rotary on
Human Side of Business.

Kansas is on the verge of a new in
dustrial era, Chancellor E. H. Linley,
Of the University of Kansas, declared
today, speaking before the Topeka
Rotary club at the Chamber of Com
merce.
Easy distribution of electric power
renders possible industrial develop
ment in any community having the en-
terprise and local advantage" Lind
ley said. kansas should seek ulti-
mately to produce a great part of the
manufactured products she consumes"
He emphasized the direct relationship
between the new trend noted by K. U.
investigators, and the activities of the
university.
THE university departments of
commerce and business administration
and industrial engineering are indis-
pensable for the industrial develop
ment of the state. Resources of the
university today are converging toward
the enrichment of business far beyond
what the people of Kansas realize.
The school is serving not only larger
business in cities but those in smaller
towns and country sections"
Emphasizing the human equa-
ton" side of Industrial and business
life, Lindley gave five ways to answer
How to get the whole man on the
job"
Placing responsibility on the man,
a square deal in compensa ton, pros
pect of promotion, vision of the social
service in the task the man Is doing
and reading of stories of success usu-
ally biographies, are practical ways of
securing loyal service" the chancel-
I lor asserted.
Success calls for knowledge of
common sense and the resources of
modern science and psychology.
Business is the art of influencing
men. All of its activities exist to pro-
duce and exchange goods designed to
give satisfaction. Recognition of this
human factor has opened in recent
years the boundless possibilities of in
dustry and commerce and made of
them a learned profession. While ma
chimes are almost perfect. the human
factor is relatively less efficient than
ever before. The great waste is on
the human side.
! THE great industrial problem today
/ is failure to get the whole man on the
! job instead of a fragment. New in
dustrial management therefore is con-
cerned with the law of the most eff
/ cient human cooperation.
I'VE have just passed thru machin-
/ cry organization in business 1t failed
, to eliminate much Of the waste. It is
/ being superseded by scientific man
agement which marshals the human
! factor and secures a satisfied and de-
voted man as employe."

French Senate to Elect Another
President on September 25.
DeschaneI Hands His Resigna-
tion to Premier MiIlerand.
MAKES new TURNING POINT
New Chief To Be More Than
Nominal Executive.
Premier Refuses to Consider
Election to Higher Chair.

Rambouillet, France. Sept. 16.-Paul
Deschanel, president of France, pre-
sented his resignation from that office
today. The president at his residence
here gave his letter of resignation and
a presidential message to accompany
it to Premier Millerand, who will read
the documents to the senate and
chamber of deputies Tuesday.
His Mind Deranged,
Paris, Sept. 16.-The version of the
cause of President Deschaners recent
relapse given by the Temps today is
that it was due to a fall into the canal
in Rambouillet park at about O'Clock
last Friday morning The president
pened to be nearby, the newspaper
says.
Hold Election September IS.
The French chamber of deputies
and the senate will meet here Septem-
ber 25 to elect a successor to Presi-
dent Deschanel, it was reported in well
informed circles today.
Premier Millerand was conceded to
be certain of election If he cared to
take it. Millerand vigorously refused
to consider the presid ency when the
matter was discussed with him. His
attitude was that he can accomplish
more in the powerful office of premier
than in the nomiEally higher one of
president.
Millerand was to return to Paris to-
day from AK Les Bains- He was ex-
pected to visit Deschane1 at once.
Marks Turning Point.
Regardless of who succeeds Des-
chanel, 1t was generally accepted here
a change in the administration will
mark a turning point both in France S
reconstruction and her political his
tory.
DeschanePs administration marked
| the end of war time government under
Clemenceau's cabinet and the begin
| ming of peace and reconstruction. The
ultimate aim was a cabinet of experts
who would concentrate on scientific
reconstruction.
1t was believed France would now
discard the old world policy of a
| nominal executive and follow the
United States in increasing the presi-
dents responsibilities.
Millerand Is Popular.
Under those conditions, Millerand
was regarded generally as the most
| papular choice for the presidency.
Other names mentioned for the Of
flee of premier or minister of foreign
affairs. in case Millerand accepts, are
| General de Castelnau and Senator
Charles Jonnart. Former Premier
| BRAND also was suggested.
Altho Deschaners resignation has
not been presented, preparations were
being made today at the Versailles
palace where the presidential elections
are held
