Dear Sir
Since / have been, up to this date,
unable, in spite of repeated requests
and solicitations, to obtain the ori-
ginal documents Of purchase of the
IS. LIBERTY LAND" by the Italian
Star Line, Inc, for which this Cor
poration has already paid on account
100000, from the funds entrusted
to the Treasury of the Corporation;
and
'Since | cannot approve the pay
ment of the commission agreed upon
by the President of the Company to
Mr.. Butler, which payment has been
made contrary to the ruling of the
Board of Directors.
Since ] cannot approve the pay
ment of a commission of 2RGa as
signed to Mr.. Hogan on the cargo of
the LIBERTY LAND, while the usual
commission given In such instances
is from 1Afs to the maXimus of
1hg5.
Since l do not consider the meth
DDS which have been used and are
being used to administrate the De
partment of Productions and Adver-
tising, which department seems to
consider the aim of the Company so
sely that of selling shares, whereas
the sale is not more than a means to .
arrive at the constitutional aim of
the company that of the promotion
and development of the marine and /
shipping industry;
Since I am unable to approve and /.
the eytravagant and .
expenditures of funds of /
the Corporation which is taking .
place under the present administra-
tion and which is very damaging to
the good name and reputation of the
Company;
Since, for the above mentioned
reasons of administrative and moral
character, and for others which it is
to list herein, | have no
confidence that the money of the
of this Corporation is
being invested and expended with
the necessary precaution for its Sc
curity;
Il hereby render my resignation
from the office of Director and Trea
surer of the Italian Star Line, Inc. to
take effect as of this date, (June 4th,

from Vera Cruz indicate a break IN the
Carranza lines and an effort on tho
part of the presidenks men 10 break
through the rebel lines and march
northward
The struggle is still continuing, and
to have reached the scene. coming up
from the south.
An International incident may be fore
Swallowed by the fact that W. a. Body.
British consul for Vera Cruz. Is In the
camp of President Carranza. Advices
give no details as 10 the reason for his
presence there, but IL seems probable
he accompanied the president IN his
fight from Mexico City British and
American authorities in Vera Cruz have
arranged for a Mexican naval ileuten-
ant TO go by special train 20 the battle
field to make an attempt to rescue the
imperiied Englshmsn.
French and British warships have
made their appearance In the harbor
