CAN'T OPERATE SHIPS
GOVERNMENT FORCED TO SELL
No-6ooZE LINERS.
Operation of National Dry Law Forces
Sale of Vessels Seized From
a Germany.

| Washington, Feb. 5.-Sale of the for
mer German passenger liners seized
at the outbreak of the war was forced
on the shipping board by the operation
of the national prohibition law, Chair
man Payne is understood to have told
President Wilson.
Mr.. Payne was said to have written
the president that the government
could not operate the liners on which
intoxicants were not sold in competi-
ton with privately owned ships on
which wine and other liquors were
served. He was understood to have
said that after the board announced
intoxicants would not be carried on
its liners plying to South America and
elsewhere, practically all bookings for
these ships had been cancelled.
The chairman's views were set forth
in letter to tie president, relating
to the controversy between the board
and the war department concerning the
sale of the ships. 1t was said that
he told the president the board did
not object to the proposal to include
in the bill of sales in each case a
clause giving the government a right
to requisition the liners in the event
of national emergency.
The war department had objected
to outright sales, holding that title to
the ships should rest with the govern
ment, so that they could be used as
transports in the event they were
needed in a future war.
Leading bankers of the country
were invited by Chairman Payne to
serve on committee to interest the
investing public in the value of ship
ping securities.

per nOHtg III CIRCULATION Dy 3IOO,OUO,-
600.
Chicago, Feb. 5-Marked reductions
in the basic prices of practically all
foodstuffs came on the wake of rhe
collapse Of the market for foreign ex-
change.
Grain, live stock, provision and cot
ton prices followed those of exchange
In the headlong tumble. Rye led the
way with drop from S1.651s to S1.56,
making total loss of 80 cents in less
than 80 days; hog prices were sent to
the lowest price in a month, with a
loss of around 81, lard, corn, oats and
other grains and commodities follow
ing.
Still further reductions in the price
of grains are expected as the result
Of news which came after the closing
OF the grain market.
Embargo to Relieve Market
This was that the rail administra-
ton had placed an embargo on the use
of freight cars for the shipment of any
thing except grain. wood pulp, or
sugar in the Mississippi valley states
The order becomes effective February
s and will remain in force for ten
days. 1t was directly due TO the in
ability of the farmers to obtain cars
with which to send their crops to mar
ket and release the immense funds
tied up in these commodities.
With the cars provided for the move
ment of the crops as the result Of the
embargo, there is bound to be a freer
movement, with the result that the ar
tificial shortage will be relieved The
movement of grain to the seaboard
also will have a direct effect on the
money stringency by releasing the
loans of the banks on these commodi-
ties.
In fact 1t was because of the exist
ence of the conditions which the em-
barge is intended to remedy that the
grain and live stock markets We're able
until this week TO resist the tendency
to liquidation which prevailed In the
security markets
1t was not until the last few days
that the grain markets ceased TO ig-
more the continued decline in sterling
exchange. This was in spite of the
fact that the fall in the value of the
pound had made itself directly percep-
tible in the grain markets in the de-
creased export buying which it had
brought about,
Cotton Drops $3.50 a Bale.
The losses in the cotton market We're
even more pronounced than in the
grain markets. In New York the ex-
treme loss in the present movement
reached $3.50 bale, and in New Or
leans II was even higher, at $40.
The market was naturally affected
by reports that the depreciation of the
pound has led Liverpool to refuse to
accept American cotton. The British
Gotten manufacturers are reported TO
have five months supply on hand, so
that there is no danger to them of d
shortage, but it is recognized that cot
ton sales viii be difficult in the future
until the exchange situation is rene

SEES DANGER IN
REPREsS|VE LAWS
Palmer Tells House Committee
Action Against Reds Necessary.
HELPED TO RESTORE ORDER
Pending Measures Are Too Drastic
Says Situation Calls for LegisIa-
tion Of Simple Character Guard
ing Bill Of Rights.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Deportation of
radicals, countrywide arrests of others
and the vigorous enforcement of ex-
listing laws have given notice that the
United States intends to keep order
and has helped improve conditions At
torney General Palmer told the house
judiciary committee.
The positive intention of the govern
ment to punish crimes of "reds" and
communists has created state of or
der which would have been impossible
without arrests and deportation, he
added.
Mr.. Palmer denied that he had "a
plain case of cold feet when he failed
to appear before the house rules COM
mittee several weeks ago to explain
the need for additional anti-sedition
legislation
Didn't Have "coId Feet"
Some misunderstanding exists in
regard to my attitude toward this leg
islation,p he said 'Some said / had
a plain case of cold feet others that
had turned TAIL That, of course,
IL not correct. did not attend be-
cause could not give support to the
pending rule for the Sterling Graham
BILL"
More harm than good would come
from repressive legislation. Mr.. Palmer
said, adding that pending measures
were so drastic and far-reaching that
they would overreach the purpose for
which they were INTENDED.
"The situation calls for legislation
Of simple character guarding the bill
Of rights, but filing a hiatus in laws
which exist in present statutes" said
Mr.. Palmer.
There are no federal statutes which
are adequate TO meet the situation. A
condition of revolutionary intent ex-
lists in this country on the part of
aliens and citizens sufficiently wide
spread in character to merit considera-
ton by congress.
Threats Being Made.
"Threats are written by persons
who would injure and overthrow the
government.
"And these threats which are being
circulated on the part of such per-
sons are the kind which do not entitle
those who employ them to the guar
antee of the so-called right of free
speech"
Mr.. Palmer said he disagreed with
those who claimed revolutionary ut
terances should be met by arguments
instead of statutory laws.
He again urged that the bill drafted
by the department of Justice and in
PRODUCED last November by Represent
alive Davey Dem., Ohio be reported
favorably.
Declaring that because of apparent
iilatoriness in stopping red" activi-
ties last summer every newspaper in
the country had shouted" at him, Mr..
Palmer said the department by giving
advance notice of INTENDED wide
spread violence against the govern
ment" had blocked any great disturb
ances.
