IRON SHUTTERS
 CAUSE OF RIOTS

Constantinop1e, July 21-Iron shut ters have probably caused more riots, massacres and pogroms in the Le- want than political agitators. All shops in the Near East are provided with rolling iron shutters which work in iron grooves. When they are banged down they make as much noise as a machine gun. Every time there is rumor of any sort of trouble some tinid merchant slams down his shutters to protect his plate glass. Without Investigating the cause, other merchants follow instantly with such a chatter that the public becomes panicky and rushes about trying to discover the cause of the furry.
 At such moments, excited crowds will credit any rumor which is put in- to circulation. Pickpockets avail themselves of such opportunities. Soapbox orators, street fakirs and magicians gather crowds by this de- vice. In any Turkish city the circu- lation of a rumor that a movement is to be started against Christians will cause all the Armenian and Greek shops to close within a few minutes, and frequently the noisy closing of the shops fans the religious hatred of the Moslems into action.

MAY BE CHANGE
 IN ATLANTIC
 COAST SEAPORTS

Washington. July, 21-Monopoly of shipping held by few large Atlantic seaports is to be broken up by the Shipping Board and the shipping business distributed among the var ious ports of the country, Chairman Benson declared Monday night in an address at the opening session of the School of Pan-American and Foreign Commerce
 Tn planning steamship service un- der the new transportation act the board proposes to break up the mo- nopoly heretofore held by a few Alt lantic seaports,' said Chairman Ben- son. Services will be maintained at American ports with view to re- lieving congestion of railroads and bringing goods to the seaports nearest the point of consum ption.
 Monopoly of shipping heretofore held by large seaports has retarded the development of the merchant marine. The bad facilities for the loading and discharging of vessels and the spirit of indifference of many commercial interests have done much to curb proper growth of the shipping interests in this country. By logically spreading shipping the spirit of com petition will be aroused among the various seaports of this land to the advantage of all."
 Government-built ships were said by Admiral Benson to be standing the wear and tear of peace service, dis proving, he added, the criticism that owing to the emergency construction program the vessels were of emer- gency character. The bulk of the ton- mage is not only seaworthy but of an efficient type.
 Despite the severe winter and the heavy seas. insurance returns show that the ship losses sustained by the government are below normal" he continued. This is the best evidence to me that the bulk of our merchant marine is as near the standard as one could expect

CONGRESSIONAL
 RECORD COSTLY

Washington, July 21-The cost of publishing the Congressional Record, the government publication recording daily everything that is said and done in Congress, well as something's outside, was $537,640 last year, prac- tically the same as for 1918, but about $300,000 less than the 1917 cost.
 These figures were given recently by Russell O. Beene, accountant at the government printing office, in answer to an inquiry of Representa- tive Magee, of New York, as to the possible saving that would result from the discontinuance of the rec ord. MT. Beene gave the cost for 1917 as ss01,790.ss and for 1918 as $537,640.
 Cornelius Ford, the public printer, was asked for an explanation of the high figure in 1917, but confessed his ignorance unless it happened that Congress "did more talking that year.. Mr. Ford said that in 1917, Congress was in session 250 days; in 1918. 3O7 days, and in 1919, 279 days.
 The printed pages in the Record for these years were 652,511,964 in 1917: 563,672,5s7 in 1918; and 455,- 1ao.45O in 1919. The cost of paper mas increased greatly within the past three years, but the use of a lighter and less expensive quality has help cd reduce the aggregate cost of the naner used For 1919, the paper cost was. s130,0O0 as compared with Sts2.OoO in 1918 and $30O,000 in 1917.

MUST KEEP PLANT HOME INTACT, IS
 ORDER OF COURT

Hartford, July 21-Interpretation of several sections of the will Of the late Morton E.. Plant was given yes- terday by Judge Samuel O.. Prentice in the Supreme Court of Errors in the case of Mae Caldwell Hayward, and others executors and trustees against Mae Caldwell Hayward. The chief points brought out in Judge Prentice's opinion related to the maintenance of the vast Plant prop erty at Eastern Point and the method of distributing the cost of such main tenance.
 In interpreting the word "home' as used in the will, Judge Prentice said that it was evidently MT. Plants intention, judging from the manner in which he had constructed the various buildings on the Eastern Point property, to preserve the estate as a unit, and that therefore the whole estate should be considered as his home. On the property are the bungalow, and the Branford House, which was built at a cost of over S1,500,0o0.( The judge also said thtt it was incumbent on the trustees not only to preserve the whole property but to preserve it in a condition req sonably conforming to the standard set by MT. Plant during his life.

The Pope was reported" to have
addressed the Cardinals, telling
them that "the Roman Catholic
Church does not desire political

don cable It was said that the Arch
bishop denied that he had received
any communication from the Pope
advising him not to attempt going
to Ireland. This. of course, is the
truth, the other a lie. Later alleged
cables from Rome state that the
Archbishop has been told by the

freedom of Ireland. This is, no
doubt, another lie. No Consistory
was held.

SUPREME KNIGHTS ADDRESS,

Knights of Columbus, with the

in Rome, formed the group of more
than 800 Americans received by
Pope Benedict in the hall of the
Consistory on Saturday.
The Swiss Guards stationed at the
bronze door of the Vatican rendered
military honors when the Knights
entered. They were conducted up
the royal staircase to Clementine
Hall, which also was lined with
Swiss guards. The party was next
conducted into the hall of the Con-
sistory. There they were received
by the Pope, who entered the hall

During the war" he continued,
"the Knights of Columbus showed
that loyalty to Catholic ideals is not
incompatible with devotion to coun-

their generosity won universal ap-

triotism that nobody could gainsay.
He ended his speech by asking the
apostolic blessing.
The Pope replied, expressing his
satisfaction at receiving the repre-
sentatives OF the knights of Column

actions of the organizations MEM

have a wide field in the great
American republic which boasts lib
erty and reciprocal respect as the
basis of its Constitution, he urged.
The Pontiff urged the Knights to
adopt a respectful attitude toward
the Episcopacy, which he said had
always shown sympathy toward any
great enterprise. He also requested
them not to identify their pro-
