What the Ave members OF the claims
board will do appe, uncertain. al
though II seems likely Chairman Meals
will continue to draw $17.500 a year.
The claims board has adjourned for
several weeks until questions con-
corning its authority are settled.
The first act of the claims board
was to allow a claimant $4,000 on ac-
count, but the Shipping Board prompt
ly turned down the claim. A few days
ago the claims board reported favor
ably on several other claims and di-
rected the claimants to collect their
money from Treasurer Boiling.
1t SO happened, however, that the
Shipping Board ceased to function for
mally last Friday evening because OF
absence of members OF the board. A
majority membership probably Will not
be on hand until Mr.. .Lasker returns
from Chicago. presumably after Labor
Day. Mr.. Boiling told the claimants
and could sign no checks until they
were approved by the Shipping Board.
Moreover, the bill appropriating the

plicitly provides that none OF the
money shall be used to pay claims
Other than this money, Mr.. Boiling In

One of the most ardent of these was

herself with rags which she stuffed into

Jacques S. Danielson, the pianist

was q relative of Mr.. Danielson. Miss
Hurst cleared up this mystery with a

The introduction of Mr.. Danielson's
