Palmer Speaks Before
Chamber at Richmond

RICHMOND. Va. March 11.-Radi-
calls unchecked would go long way
toward utterly destroying the plans
and purposes for which the American
government was founded, Attorney
General Palmer declared last night in
Of Commerce.
But 1 would not have you believe
that the republic is in danger" he
added.
So-called revolutionists, the Attor-
ney General said, will never make
such headway that they may hope to
overturn a government SO firmly es-
tablished in the hearts of the people
as the American government. He
warned, however. that unless halted
they may create such serious dis
turbances as will make life in our
beloved country much less comfort
able than it Is now"
Tracing the history of radicalism.
the Attorney General said there al
ways had been a sprinkling of an
archists in America. but that before
the war the leaders believing in no
form of government were few in
number.
Wnr Brought AEitatOrs.
"Eut the war brought many agita-
tors to our shores with the purpose
of transplanting here the chaotic con-
dition of unhappy Russia" he said,
pointing out that this called for enact
ment of adequate laws to protect the
nation from attacks within.
While education will help solve the
problem. Mr.. Palmer said settlement
of the labor question was fundamental
TO the solution. adding: I'VE cannot
deny that the time has come when la
Dor is entitled to larger proportion
of the wealth which labor. in combi-
nation with money. produces"
Il am strong for reducing the high
cost of living" the Attorney General
said, but I have no hope of doing it
by a reduction OF wages. I do not
want wages reduced and do not
think it would be wise or proper for
us ever to get to lower level. "All

u. S. to Restrict Ship Sale

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Sale of the
government owned fleet of stee. vessels
for which bids will be opened Septem-
ber will be confined to craft not in
service on established steamship lines,
it was said tonight by officials of the
Shipping Board.
Vessels now operating in berth SER
vices will not be sold except to pur-
chasers who agree to keep them in
their established routes, officials said.
nor will ships at sea for which commit
ments have been made be disposed of
unless substitutes can be provided for
their operators.
Offer of the entire government owned
steel fleet for sale, however, complies
with the terms of the Jones merchant
marine act, which makes ample adver-
tising necessary and enables the board
to proceed with it's program for eventu-
ally turning over it's ships to private
control
Arrangements are now being COM
pleted by which a group of hundred
steel vessels, aggregatirI about $4,000
deadweight tonA will be offered for
sale for immediate delivery.

In defining the policy Of the new

Therefore, it has been necessary to
study the responsibilities for damages

caused by the disposal of funds not
belonging to the national treasury. and
for the non-Dayment of credits due and

He said that thhe conduct Of the

that it could not logically be attacked

that knowing this, his enemies sought
to attain their ends by opening a

politics nto the military. Proof, General
Garcia asserted. probably would be OBJ

Eight Names Used by the
"Wizard' in Operations
Special Dispatch TO The Tribune

BOSTON, Aug. 27.-The receivers of
Charles Ponzis Security EXCHANGE
Company received setback in their
hunt for assets to-day upon the COM
pletion of their examination of docu-
ments and papers found in half a dozen
strong boxes in as many banks about
the city. Hope had been held out on
the strength of Ponzi's declaration that
ne thought he had "at least $3O0,O0O in
Liberty bonds in one of the vaults. :"
Less than $4,000 was found.
Against this slow progress the liabil-
lties are rising steadily, and it is now
conceded that the previous estimates
OF S7OOO,O00 were too small and that
they may even reach $10,0OO,O0O. The
total at the Office Of the ATTORNEY Cen
eral tonight is we'll above S5 900 900,
and this amount includes none of the
New Hampshire investments and prac-
tically none from Lawrence, where the
total is said to represent another ST.

At least eight names were used by
Ponzi in his operations, the receivers
announced to-day. These, in addition
to the firm name, are Lucy Martelle,
Joseph Daniels, Mary c. Mosselli,
lmelda Ponz, Pho Cont, Rose NJ Ponzi
and John S. Dondero. The receivers
to-day officially seized the estate at
Lexington which Ponzi purchased about
three months ago, and his three fine
automobiles were also takrn. The

Prolonged delay in the appointment
Of the new Shipping Board, according
to shipping men here, is causing in.
creasing unsettlement in marine con.
ditions. Not only is the development,
Of the merchant marine being held up
it is declared. but little is being done
toward putting into effect the policies
provided for by legislation passed at
the last session of Congress.
President Wilson on June S signed
the merchant marine act. Section 3
Of this measure directed him to make
the appointments of the Shipping
Board commissioners "as soon as
practicable" Although nearly three
months have passed since then, how.
ever, not one of the seven commission
ers who will compose the board has
been named. AS a result, control of
the millions of tons of vessels owned
by the government is in the hands of
the two surviving members of the old
board, Admiral Benson, serving as
chairman, and John A. Donald. Ac-
cording to the terms of the shipping
bill, the commissioners in office at
the time of the enactment are to re-
main until all the commissioners are
appointed ane qualify.
One of the most important powers
placed in the boards hands by the
act is the sale, las soon as practica-
BILE, consistent with good business
methods" of the government tonnage
"at such prices and on such terms
and conditions as the board may pre-
scribe
Personnel of New Board
Under the provisions of the bill the
represent the various sections of the
country, SO that a decision by them
will reflect the general sentiment in
regard to the policies to be followed
in the development of the merchant
marine. Two of the members are to
be from states on the Atlantic Coast
two from the Pacific Coast, one each
from the Great Lakes and the Gulf
district, and one from an interior
state.
Speaking at a luncheon in New
York on July IA, Admiral Benson
stated that the sales policy to govern
.i'0 S''4PPAAS AooaiU III ulSpOSlnG OF
It's vessels to private interests would
not be made known until President
Wilson had appointed the full board
About month subsequent to this
statement, however, Admiral Benson,
apparently expecting no action soon in
the matter of appointments, an
nounced the terms of sale and fixed
the prices at minimums ranging from
sl6O to S1S5 per deadweight ton. Bids
have been called for to be submitted
September l.
Both shipowners and shipbuilders
have expressed dissatisfaction with
the scale of prices. The former hold
that the cost is too high to enable
them to operate the ships profitably in
comp petition with those of other ma
tons. The shipbuilders regard the
figures S below the cost of replace
ment and view them as setting q false
