British interests have conspired
with groups Of influential Americans
to obstruct efforts to build up an.
American merchant marine, If state
ments made Senator Wesley l.. Jones,
Of Washington, before the National
Merchant Marine association, are
trustworthy.
The cooperating American groups
are the banking houses of J. P. Nor
gan & Co., the eastern trunk line rail-
roads, the United States Chamber of
Commerce, the Chamber of Com
merce of New York, and the Inter-
national Mercantile Marine company.
The United States shipping board,
Senator Jones charges, is under the
control of this combination.
The railroads and commercial Or
ganizations are dominated by the
Morgan banking house, as is also the
International Mercantile Marine,
which has an agreement with the
British government not to pursue a
'policy injurious to the British mer-
camille marine or British trade"

A|RPL LANE Will

Naval Authorities Believe Air
Craft Will be |nVincibIe
Against War Ships.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Great
Britain is ready to forego the further
construction of battleships and enter
an agreement for disarmament be-
cause she recognizes that further SUI
premacy in warfare lies il control of
the air, is the view of Brig. Gen.
Mitchell, according to a local news
paper. This officer is assistant chief
of the United States air service.
The officer pointed out that in none
of the pleas from England about dis
armament is reference made to re-
strict the development of air war
fare.
ENGLAND is basing her policy to-
day on the realization that aircraft
can carry bombs sufficiently power
full to destroy the largest warships
afloat," he said. "Proceeding from
this premise she is working on the
point where airplanes, or lighter
than-air machines, can be operated
efficiently from the sea-"
It makes no difference from the
standpoint Of war plans, according to
General Mitchell, whether battleship
construction is increased or decreased
because the day is coming when sur
face fleets will be at the mercy of
fleets in the air."
Similar views are expressed by
Capt. Thomas T. Craven, head of
, naval air service, who declares that
it is the bleief in England that the
airplane will be the dominating factor
in another war.

When the capitalist incorporates it
is to arrange matters so that he can

employed workers being forced to
patronize free soup kitchens and
breadlines. At Revere, Mass, an
industrial district near Boston,
hundreds of jobless men and
women gathered about the city hall
in zero weather, and demanded
food. Mayor Thomas A. Noone
said the city's resources had been
exhausted and he has called on
other communities for help.
Ten thousand idle workers in
Toledo are on the starving line,
says John n. Cowell, emergency
labor commissioner of the city.
The list of unemployed there is

KANSAS Law HAS
ROCKY TRAVELLING
Tinse| Has Worn Off Aliens
Can't Strike Law; Support
eTS Not so CockSure.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 3.-The tinse1
has worn off Aliens "ean't-strike'
law and its supporters have aban<
doned their cock-sure attitude on the
ancient policy of handwriting workers
to their jobs.
The governor is conscious that he is
slipping, but that is the extent of his
knowledge. on this subject He has
recommended that the industrial
court, which enforces the law, turn
over the management of public utilf-
ties to some other commission and
permit the court to handle strikes.
Last year the industrial court handled
28 disputes and there are some men,
bers Of the legislature so hard headed
that they ask If it is not a high price
to pay three men $1,000 a piece to
handle about two disputes a. month.
There has been so much politics
connected with the board. and such
friendship to corporations when they
asked for increased rates, that the
hard-headed legislators, above re-
ferred to. declare that the-whole out
fit should be proved.
There has been complete change
Of sentiment in this state toward the
governors legislation. Less than a
year ago he was hailed as the savior
of the country, and was given much
publicity in his nationwide campaign
for this handcuff legislation, while
he hoped that the vice presidential
nomination, or possibly president,
would be handed him.

HOW DETECTIVES
CRAFT BUSINESS
Former New York Governor Ex,
poses Trickery Of Private
S|euthS on Merchants.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-This city is
filled with mushroom private de-
tective agencies" which, apparently,
in many instances have been work.
ing with the regular police. in graft
irg upon business men, is the charge
made by former Governor Charles S.
Whitman, who is conducting the city
corruption probe.
These agencies, said Mr.. Whitman,
claim they will "protect" business
men for from SIS to 500 day, but
the merchant never sees the sleuths.
All he obtains is reports that so many
men are "operating." The agency,
said Mr.. Whitman, will then split the
money with police.
Several police officials have been
arrested on the charge of receiving
money from business men for ''pro-
lection" during strikes. A riot is
easily started and when the business
man asks for protection he is told
that the regular force has not enough
men.

Charged to Administration.
The witness declared that 100000
of this voucher had been charged to
administration and general expens-
es,' and then pro-rated against all
vessels under construction at the
Bethlehem shipyard.
Morse could not say that It was
paid by the government or even ultl-
mately charged against the govern.
ment. The audit, he said, was sus.
pended by John Barton Payne, head
of the shipping board, when the
voucher was discovered. It might
have been disallowed or a number Of
things might have happened to it, for
the audit was never finished.
Entered In Accounts.
Morse furnished the committee a
complete description, which bore the
searched the expense account for an
explanation of this charge and found
this entry, "Voucher 114980, c. NJ. S.,
269,543.53."
A memorandum was attached to
the coucher stating that 100000 had
already been disallowed. "Neverthe-
less" the witness continued, "it was
noted by our accountant that 1t was
included in the total account Of dis
tribution of general expenses, Book c,
November, 1872"
In addition to the Schwab voucher
accountants also found one for $751;
900 made payable to Paul D. Cra-
vath, Mr.. Schwab's attorney. It had
been charged to ship construction.
Denied Access to Books.
When these vouchers had been
brought to the attention of Colonel
Abadie the accountants were denied
access to the Bethlehem books. Short
ly after the audit was cancelled by
Mr.. Payne. Later, however, it was
resumed, but only on a. limited scale,
the auditors not being permitted to
inquire into overhead expenditures.
"Al can say" Morse said, "fs that
the voucher was there and it ap-
peared in the book. The voucher was
seen by our accountant who had it in
his hands. Another accountant saw
the entry in the books. The only ques--
ton in my mind is as to the procedure
that took place after we were refused
access to the Bethlehem books"
Wanted to Suppress Probe.
Morse said that after Schwab had
testified before the committee he had
met both Schwab and President Eu-
gene C. Grace, Of the Bethlehem COM
pany, at the Hotel st. Regis. New
York. The conference had been ar
ranged by friend Of Schwab's. At
this conference, Morse said, he and
Grace had compared notes on the
voucher and agreed as to the details.
Schwab denied absolutely that he got
100000 on the voucher.
Morse testified that opposition on
the part Of the Bethlehem company to
his continuing with the audit became
evident Immediately upon the discov-
cry of this voucher. Efforts were
made to discredit him, he said. His
citizenship was attacked, and he was
called a crook, even a murderer.
Before the voucher was found, the
witness said, his relations with the
Bethlehem company were pleasant.
Charges Were Misapplied.
