HARTMAN LINE
! GETS new BOAT
10000 Ton Freighter Sec.
ond Allocated by Board
To New Company.

Admiral Benson, chairman of the
Shipping Board, Monday anpounc-
ed that the William Penn. new
l2.5oo-ton cargo carrier. just COM
plcted at the Pusey and Jones plant
at Gloucester, n. j.. had been aIlo-
Gated 10 the United American Lines.
Incorporated. controlled by the Har-'
riinan interests.
Admiral Benson denied. however.
that the allotment of the William
Penn to the Hartman people mark
ed. the contamination of the so-call-
ed Hartman Hamburg American
deal. by which American shipping
interests are to be pooled with
those of the Hamburg american
lines for the purpose OF putting
American ships in the trade routes
operated before the war by the Ger
man company.
The William Penn, he said, is to
be used in the Dutch East Indies
routes. and her ALLEGATION is the
second the Shipping Board has made
recently to the Hartman interests.
The other ship was the Eclipse. a
10.000-ton freighter. built on the
Pacific Coast and recently delivered
to the United American Lines at
New York for her first voyage to
the East Indies.
The William Penn is an oil burn
er. while the Eclipse is electrically
driven; in fact, the first cargo ves-
! sci of the type now so popular in
the navy, to have been constructed
by the Shipping Board. Both ships
are placed on the same .outes In
the nature of test of the relative
merits of the oil drive and the cleo
trio drive for cargo-carrying pur-
poses.
Tt is not improbable" said Ad-
miral Benson yesterday. that the
test OF the two vessels. under op-
Grafton by the United American
Lines. will determine a future
building policy for the American
merchant marine"

MUSIC AIDS THE STUDENTS
(Associated Press)

Cambridge, Mass, June 25.-The
faculties of Harvard University and
the Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology have taken action to dispel or
to allay the undergraduate body of
final examinations.
The tests which the students of the
Institute have undergone this month
may be the last of the kind at "Tech." J."
A committee of faculty members,
alumni and undergraduates have been
appointed to investigate methods of
testing the college mans knowledge
and proficiency in studies ether than
by the customary examination. This
step followed unsuccessful attempts
to have the students accept the honor
system.
At Harvard there has been no con-
sideration of the proposal to do away
with examinations but there has been
action to ease the mental strain which
they put on the students. The sooth-
ing charms attributed to music, and
its powers to stimulate sluggish
minds to active thought, have been
called upon as first aid to undergrad
yates beset with troublesome tests.
Under the direction of Professor a..
T. Davidson, university choirmaster,
musical recitals of ten minutes have
been given daily in Appleton Chapel
during the examination season. They
have been held in the morning, just
before the first of the days examina-
tIons was to begin. The programs
consisted of light classical selections,
and proved popular alike among men
who had sat up all night with their
books and hollow-eyed and nervous,
sought rest and calm; and among
others who, after night of sleep,
sought from the music a mental slim
ulus for the tests which lay ahead.

DIVORCES MARRIED
BY A DARKE1

Danville, Va, June 25.-A wedding
ceremony unparalleled in this town of
stern Southern beliefs was performed
a few days ago when a white couple
were made man and wife by negro
minister, who was asked to officiate.
A couple came here from Franklin
county, obtained a license and went
to the home of well-knoWn Baptist
minister, who told them he could not
marry them because the man had
been divorced, and that there was an
agreement among the white clergy to
perform no ceremony for a man or
woman who had been defended in
such action. The couple then drove to
the humble cabin of negro preacher
who had no such scruples, and the
ceremony was performed.

CARPETBAG RULE

Bucharest, June 4.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press. THAT
the carpet bagging system known to
the South after the civil war has been
applied by the Rumanians in their
new provinces of Bessarabia, Buko-
wilma and Pennsylvania, is the burden
of complaints that the minority popu-
lation of these provinces are sending
to the allied governments. 1t is charg-
ed that these provinces have been
loaded up with dishonest civilian offic-
ials, who work in connection with the
armies of occupation to bulldoze and
teErorize the local inhabitants. 1t IN
even charged that the wealthier land
owners are being arrested in the hope
that they will either desert their lands
or sell their homes far under the real
value.
According to DR.. Nicholas Lupu. re-
Gently minister of the interior, the
army of occupation in these provinces
should long since hase been removed.
"After four years of war soldiers
respect the rights of nobody" he said.
In BeSsarabia, where the army IS
kept as protection against the boil
sheviks, the charges of mal-adminis-
tration have been many. 1t is stated
that here the army has also prevent
ed the just operation of the law pro-
viding for the division of the land.
The gravest charges come from
Pennsylvania and the Hungarian
frontier, where the nationality bitter
ness has long been deep. On those
members of the Hungarian nobility
who have persisted in remaining on
their estates are quarter a half
dozen soldiers or policemen who prac-
tically hold them prisoners. While
they are able to operate their estates,
they are not permitted to receive Wis
itors or mail except by permission OF
these soldiers Many instances are
cited where the head of the house has
been arrested and so harassed that lie
had to fee, leaving his home in the
possession of his wife and daughter,
much after the manner of the Russian
and Polish landholders during the
early stages Of bolshevism.
There are many cases cited where
horses have been stolen
and later entered into the races in the
different cities of Rumania.
There have been numerous reports
that the Transylvanias hope to find
a way out of their difficulties by con-
verting themselves into small re-
public, if later circumstances permit,
Or else of again joining themselves to
the Hungarians.
1t is charged that the land i5 being
taken from the rightful owners and
divided up among the Rumanian car
pet baggers, who in turn sell it to the
Rumanian peasants Of the country.

PROTEST AGAINST
BRITISH INDIAN POLICY

London, June 25.-Advices from
many parts of India tell of the i'm
pressive observance of the "hartal," /"
or cessation of business, as a protest
against the government policy toward
India. At a gathering in Bombay it
was declared in resolutions that this
was the most serious situation in the
history of India.
The loss from this voluntary clos
ing is estimated at, millions of pounds
sterling. The Bombay Chronicle stat
ed: "Never before in the history of
Bombay has such a complete cessation
of work been recorded" The Advo-
cate of India said: at cannot be de-
MED that the Khilafat question has
been a nationa lone in India and the
Muslems are receiving almost unani-
nous support from all sister commu-
mites"
At a conference held at Fyzabad
resolution was passed proposing thai
the visit of the Prince of Wales be
postponed until Moslem religious de-
mands regarding the Khilafat were
satisfied.

A mysterious boom for the nomina-

a prohibition enforcement plank are
approaching more definite shape. Nc
Adoo adherents are said today to be
shaping their plans to withhold his

On the prohibition enforcement
question there has developed a sud
den movement to ignore it entirely
