We have cabled 60 the captains of

the Shipping Board has taken over the
ships and asking them if they want to
continue on board in our employ.
AT present we have no plans to take
over any other ships. AS matter of
fact, there are few companies that have
chartered passenger ships from the
board. | do not know il there are any

pay up or turn over the ships to u.s."
To Stop Lax Methods
At this point Mr.. Smull interrupted
to say that the Mail Company had been
asked TO pay the rental charges month
by month.
"The old board was run in the most
lax way" continued Mr.. Schlesinger.
I'VE are going to put in a business or
ganization and conduct things on a
sound financial basis. We want no poll
tics in the board.
ut is & gigantic thing we have un-
dertaken. We have $75,OOO,000 in
houses and we don't know where they
are or whether rents are being paid.
We have accounts receivable amount

"The Mail Company disregarded the
old board completely, but they cannot
disregard the new one. 1t is said that
we have over $700.000,O00 invested in
275 shipyards. ] don't know whether
that is true, but do know that VIC are
not going to be jollied out Of any more

denied with emphasis that there were
any foreign interests back of the
seizure. They were particularly vehe-

Secretary Davis admitted the
Mayer of Monrovia, Liberia, into

spite of the fact that during July
only one-half of one person may
enter from that country under
percentage immigration restric-
tion law.
Only 5 per cent Of the number
of nationals of any country al
ready here can be admitted for
the year. and only 20 per cent of
that number admitted in any one
month. In the case of Liberia,
statisticians of the immigration
service said this 20 per cent
amounted to half a person.

It's files and books 1t would have real
ized that instead Of the Mnil owing the
board money. the board owed some
thing like $2,000,000 to the Mail.
"Under tho terms of the contract
with the United States Shipping Board
the Mail was "to pay at the rate OF
$3.50 per net registered ton per month,
commencing on and from the date of
the completion Of the rcconditioning of
said vessels
"As matter of fact, none of the
vessels has been completely recondi-
toned, and it Is clear, under the terms
is technically no charter hire earned
or due, as claimed by the Shipping
Board.

"The Mail has, however, at the earn

and in order that the board might en-

"On April 6, 1921, the board volun-
tarily modified the contract and agreed
to pay for reconditioning the S. s
America and the S. S. Washington. The
Mail has expended in excess of $780,
600 on the S. s. America alone, and this
amount is due from the board to the
Mail under tbs arrangement of April
8, so that even if the contention Of the
board as TO the amount Of hire due
were CORRECT it will be seen that the
board has been in fact overpaid.

Later in the day Mr.. Mayer added to
what he said in the morning that the
action of the Shipping Board was all
the more inexplicable to him because
of the fact that under the terms of
the contract there is an express pro-
vision for the appointment of arbitra-
tors and an umpire to determine any
matter in dispute, and "the charge that
we are in default does not lie against
us until this controverted fact is ascer-

DECISION DELAYED
ON INDICTMENTS
JUDGE FLANAGAN WILL GIVE
HIS OPINION LATER IN
PRISON AFFAIR.
ATTORNEY ATTACKS CHARGES
Sherwood Declares Indicted Men EN-.
ployes, and Not Officials of
State institution.

Marquette-Circuit Judge r. c.
Flanagan will not rule at this term
of court on the motion to quash in
dictments against defendants in the
Marquette prison case charging un-
lawful purchase of state property, he
announced late last week
Judge Flanagan announced that he
would not be able to take the motion
under advisement before 20 days and
gave attorneys that length Of time to
file briefs.
Arguments for and against the mo-
tion, to quash most Of the indictments
brought by the grand jury and on
the demand by the defendants coun-
Gil for bills of particulars explaining
the charges against them if the in
dictments stand, have been heard by
Judge Flanagan.
Myron j. Sherwood, attorney for
the defendants, declared that indict-
ments charging unlawful purchase of
state property are irregular and
should be quashed because they ap-
ply to officers of the prison, whereas,
he contended, the persons indicted
are not officers, within the meaning
of the general prison law, but en-
ployes. AS employees, he said. they
had a right to purchase goods alleged
to have been bought unlawfully.
He argued further that offenses
charged in the indictments involving
purchase of state property by his
clients did not charge felonies or mis-
demeanors within the meaning of the
statute, but instead charged breaches
of law which are not indictable.
Answering Mr.. Sherwoods argu-
ments, Prosecuting Attorney Ken
nedy referred to state statutes to
combat the claim of the defense that
the prison men indicted for alleged
unlawful purchases were employed
and not officers of the institution, and
argued that under the prison law they
are indictable for offenses alleged in
the indictment.
He denied irregularity in the indict-
ments, arguing that the language of
the statutes involved had been used
in their construction, and declared
that the charges set forth are specific
enough to satisfy statute require
ments.
Mr.. Sherwood stressed his demand
that if the indictments stand, the
defendants must be furnished with
bills of particulars, specifying in de-
tail as to time and place, the offenses
charged and giving descriptions and
amounts of property alleged to have
been unlawfully purchased.
He contended It would be unjust
to ask his clients to prepare a de-
fense against charges so general as
those put into the indictments.
