CONVICT BRINDELL GETS
HAM AND EGGS, ALSO WOE
Ex-Labor Car Violates Prison Rules, Is Reduced One
Grade and Must Stand Trial by Accepting
Dish From Smypathizing Inmate.

Robert B. Brindell. the former labor
leader. who Is serving a sentence in
Sing Sing Prison for extortion. bumped
against the prison rules yesterday when
he accepted a dish OF ham and eggs
from an inmate waiter. and was imme-
tely reported TO Warden Lewis L..
Lawes for violation of the prison regu-
lations. He will haze to stand trial at
the court that the Warden conducts
once each week, and if he Is convicted
he will be reduced from grade A to
grade B and will lose several privileges
accorded to convicts who obey all OF the
rules.
Warden Lawes refused TO comment
on Brindell's infraction Of the rules, but
the details were disclosed by attendants.
The awkward squad of new convicts. of
which Brindell is a member. was served
hash for dinner. and one OF the keepers
In charge Of the gang noticed that Brin-
dell pushed 1t to one side. He thought
at first that the convict was not hungry,
but a few moments later he saw Brindell
eating the ham and eggs with great en-
joyment. The food was taken away from
the former labor leader and he was In
formed that he could not have any
more than the other prisoners had.
The keeper notified Principal Keeper
John Sheehy, and Sheehy reported to
the Warden, who ordered an investiga-
tion to find out how Brindell obtained

an inmate waiter. anxious to please a
convict who has as much money as
Brindell is reported TO have amassed
from his labor operations, had cooked
the ham and eggs and given them 20 the
new convict SO far ss the investiga-
ton has developed, the former labor
leader did not ask the walter for the
food, but accepted II when it was placed
in front Of him. AS punishment, the
walter probably will be transferred 70
an upstate prison. where the surround
ings are not quite so pleasant as at
Sing Sing.
Warden Lawes declared to-day that
so far as the prison authorities could
prevent IL Brindell would not be treated
any better than any of the other pris-
oners, and that he would not be per-
mitted TO direct labor unions and order
strikes while In prison. He has not
been allowed to have a visitor or a
letter since he arrived last Monday and
will not receive any for another week.
Officials Of the prison also deny that
the convict brought any union records
with him to the prison. The two trunks
that were In the Brindell car when he
reached Sing Sing were not allowed in
side the prison, and were taken back
to New York city by the convicts
brother. All the belongings that Brin-
dell brought inside with him were In a
small bundle under his arm.

BENSON SAYS SHIP
BOARD WILL STAY
Functions vitality Affect Fu-
ture Of Merchant Marine,
Admiral Asserts.

PHILADELPHIA, April THE United
States Shipping Board is a permanent
institution and will live rs long as the
merchant marine. Rear Admiral William
S. Benson. United States Navy. retired.
chairman OF the board. declared to-day
ia an address at an all-American day
luncheon OF the Poor Richard Club
THE question OF placing our ships on
the seven seas is a worldwide proposi-
ton affecting every phase of industry"
he said.
ut Is OF International Importance, and
II the American people can be convinced
~ that importance there need be little
fear the board win cease to function.
-Four years ago yesterday we entered
he war. Ships were needed; we built
them. one of the main factors In this
was the organization of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, which more than any
thing else eliminated Government red
tape.
To-day these same ships, built for
war emergency, are still being used.
They have been allotted by the board to
equitable steamship companies. but In
order TO establish and extend trade
routes TO almost every section OF the
world the board has kept the right to
designate the routes over which the
ships must steam"
Admiral Benson told OF the criticism
that had been hurled at some Of the
products Of the various emergency ship
yards, particularly the wooden ships.
I'VE built many ships that were un-
desirable. to be sure" he declared, but
they were only like the shots that were
fred on the 'battlefelds and never hit
anything. The ships at Hog Island par
ticularly were excellent. and that is at
tested by the fact that to-day the Hog
Island ships are sailing the seas, giving
excellent service"
Admiral Benson then emphasized the
Importance OF keeping the merchant ma
rine to as high standard as possible.
America to-day Is faced with one Of
the greatest trade problems In its his
tory. Foreign competitors are waiting
anxiously for the first signs OF American
traders losing money. that they may
Jump In and run away with our foreign
trade.
Even If We are losing money In the
operation Of our fleet we must play the
game and we must stand that loss for

cheaper for the American public 10 pay
a slightly increased freight rate than TO
pay the difference on goods OF the con-
sumer shipped at rates Of foreign COM

After You Are Fifty

You can expect almost anything be-
cause your vitality is fast becoming used
up and as a rule one becomes over anxious
to lay aside money enough to care for
their old age, and during this nerve
breaking period, and worries, you are
liable to have a nervous breakdown, and
become a fit subject for kidney, liver, and
heart troubles.
When you find yourself approaching
or afflicted with these troubles, you can
build yourself up again by taking from
10 to 20 drops in little water of the old
and reliable remedy, SEVEN BARKS.
Don't wait until you are down sick, but
step into your nearest druggist and invest
a small sum for a bottle of SEVEN
BARKS and be prepared.
1t doesn't matter whether you are 20
or so if you find that your digestion or
gans resent what you eat, your heart pal
pilates on the slightest exertiOn, your
back aches after a days work, you need
a good tonic, kidney and liver regulator.
This you will find in SEVEN BARKS,
the old-fashioned root and herb remedy
that our parents and grandparents used
to keep their families rugged and well.
If you want to get the greatest efficiency
out of your body, enjoy and prolong your
