Four, possibly six, MEN were drowned
yesterday afternoon when the Cum
arder Caronia. passing out to sea
through the Harrows at a fifteen knot
clip. ran down and destroyed the one
rnasted auxiliary sloop John Anton
just off Quarantine.
The observer at Quarantine, who
saw the tragedy through his binocu-
lars, said that at 1:15 P. NJ. his at
tention was fixed upon the rapidly
moving Cunarder and the steamship
Guiana, incoming from the West In
dies. the Guiana being closer to Quar-
antine than the outgoing liner. Just
rs the two steamships were passing,
not a great way apart, the observer
said, the one masted sloop bobbed up
from nowhere and tried to cross in
front of the Caronia's bows.
Evidently the lookout on the bridge
of the Caronia hadn't seen the little
vessel, possibly because of the Guiana,
until too late to change course, and
the great ship plunged through the
little craft, cutting it in two, sending
the pieces flying and dragging the
fragments into the vortex that was
created. Evidently the sloop had un-
derestimated the speed at which the
Caronia was travelling.
Three Men Disappear.
The observer at Quarantine. watching
through his glass. saw TWO or three
man jump and then disappear al
together. He could not pick them up on
the floor OF the sea and decided that
they must have been drawn under by
the suction of waters. lie noticed that
tho Caronia stopped almost at once and
put a small boat over. The officer in
command cf the llfeboat searched the
vicinity OF the accident for an hour but
found nothing. lie returned to his ship
and the Caronia, uninjured herself,
went on out to sea. Previously her

RAILROADS MAY SEEK
ANOTHER CUT IN WAGES
Application Expected Within
Next Sir Months.

Inquiry among railroad executives
here yesterday left little doubt that the
country's steam carriers would be be-
fore the United States Railroad Labor
Board with an application for further
reduction In wages within the next Six
months, and revealed that some officials
think lowered living costs and the liqui-
dation of labor in other industries war
rant the presentation of a new case to
the board within very short time.
When told OF the opinion expressed by
a we'll known railroad authority that a
second ~ per cent. wage cut. effecting
an annual saving OF 100000, 900. would
place the railroads In a position to cut
freight rates per cent. and reduce pas
senger fares to three cents mile the
president Of one OF the large Eastern
systems said that for the benefit of the
shippers who are agitating for lower
rates such saving II accomplished
would be better applied toward the re-
pair of cars which will be needed for
adequate service when business becomes
normal.

Central co-ordinating control over
Government purchases and disposal OF
Government surplus property was es-
tabllshed to-day by Charles q. Dawes
Director of the Budget. Under an
executive order OF the President the

corresponding to the nine Army Corps
areas. Each area is TO be in charge OF
an official with the title of coordinator
and the whole organization will be
supervised by chief coordination,

Director Dawes said the new supply
organization will direct immediate pres.

continuing purchases in the open market
instead Of drawing upon surplus sup
plies on hand. In all Government
agencies.
Discussing the details Director Dawes
said:
"The wording of the order must not
create the impression that the War and
Navy departments are being placed In
control or the organization. Army and
Navy officers may be used In 1t. Ex-
perienced men will be selected. irrespec-
tive Of present departmental status.
THE coordinating machinery set up
does not interfere with existing depart

Under the order there Is set up the
machinery TO facilitate the interdepart-
mental transfers of property. Negotia-
tions between departments as to prices
at which surplus material Is transferred

necessary by the authority given to CO.

fected may be assigned to aid the area

rs PLAN OF PRESIDENT
Finishing Touches to Be
Put on Programme at
Meeting To-day.
TO CONFER WITH HOUSE
Farm, Anti-Beer and Grain
Bills to Be Taken Up as
First Steps.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
New York Herald Rureeu,
Washington, ID. C., July "a.
A new executive programme for the
Senate, based on the desire of President
Harding and leaders in his party to
speed up tax and tariff revision with
other domestic measures. is in process
of formation. The finishing touches
are to be put on II at a meeting of the
Republican steering committee to-mor-
row.
1t is the result of conference last
night between the President and four
teen Republican Senator'S at the White
House similar meeting, it is under
stood, has been arranged for tomorrow
night with Republican managers In the
House, the details Of which have not
yet been announced.
Last nights meeting was informal and
did not become generally known until
to-day. The following Senators were
in attendance
Curtis (Kan). Penrose (Penn.)
Smoot (Utah). Watson (Tnd.). Kellogg
(Minn.). Mccormick (Ill.), Ernest
(Ky), Phipps (Col.), wadsworth On
Y). Kenyon DAD, Capper (Kan), Len
root (Wis), McNary (Ore.), and Edge
IN. J.).
Here Is the tentative programme that
probably will be ratified at the meeting
of the Senate steering committee:
Completion of the Norris farm export
corporation bill. which will result in the
approval of compromise measure
based largely on the Kellogg substitute
having the approval Of the War Finance
Corporation and Secretary of Commerce
Hoover.
This will be followed by an effort TO
finish consideration of the anti-beer bill,
which probably will be made the unfin-
ished business of the Senate when the
farm relief legislation is disposed of.
Consideration of the Capper bill to
regulate trading in grain.
Probable action on the Borah bill TO
provide free passage for American coast
wise ships through the Panama Canal.
This may be deferred, however, for later
action. in case an agreement for a date
for a vote can be reached. that will en-
able 1t to be completed ahead of tax
and tariff revision.
Action on a deficiency appropriation
that Is to be submitted from the United
States Shipping Board
The understanding now Is that the
foregoing programme can be got out of
the way prior to approval by the House
Of the revenue revision measure. The
Senate expects to receive this early In
August. Following it's receipt, the pro-
gramme contemplates a Senate recess.
during which the Finance Committee
will wrestle with the tariff and tax re-
vision bills.
No Immediate action in the Senate Is
contemplated on the proposal for broad
ening the powers of the War Finance
Corporation to aid the railroads. The
measure will soon be introduced. II II
expected either by Senator Cummins
(Iowa) or Senator Kellogg (Minn.) and
be referred to the Interstate Commerce
Committee. of which they are members.
The Senate likewise may defer action
for the present upon the Penrose bill
proposing the delegation OF broad pow
ers upon Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion for refunding the foreign loans. II
IL understood this course Is satisfactory
to both the President and the Secretary.

pared with the opening price of Tues
day morning the quotation showed a
drop of more than 20 points. II was a
collpase such as is seldom seen in

CASES OF PELLAGRA

Government Expert Says Con

Are Alarming.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
SPARTANBURG, S. c.. July 27.-That
pellagra cases In the section covered by
his Investigations have increased 100
per cent. in the last few months is the
announcement Of Passed Assistant Sur
geon George A. Wheeler, Government
pellagra expert stationed here to prose-
cute Investigations for the Public Health
Service.
DR.. Wheelers headquarters are here,
in a section where pellagra first made

work here for about two years. Last
December the pellagra hospital here was
closed, DR.. Wheeler remaining to con-
tinue his Investigations
DR.. Wheeler does not believe a famine
is imminent in his territory. but he ad-
mits unbalanced rations are the cause
of the disease. The low price of cotton
and inability of families to provide suit
able food because of the marked de-
crease In income are blamed for the
marked continued rise OF the disease
Cotton mill villages are furnishing .he
major portion of the pellagra cases.

December educated people of this section
in the best methods of combating tho
disease. In DR.. Wheeler's opinion thi:
section is better off than others In the
South.
DR.. Wheeler said the results of his
Investigations recently do not tend to
cause him to make reports ameliorating
the situation as 1t has been reported.
He believes, however. that local health
organizations may be able to fight the
disease without outside assistance. He
ardently advocates the reestablishment
of the pellagra hospital here. believing
It essential to the work OF stamping
out the disease.
