II is said that the United States
Mails attorneys will fight the injunc-
ton being vacated on the grounds that
there Is a New York State statute that
IN any contract having provision for
arbitration of a disputed matter the
court must enforce this clause. There
Is such clause in the Mail contract
but the board contends that charter
nire default is not subject to arbitra
ton.
What is to become Of the creditors
Of the United States Mail Company
and the passengers who have paid in
advance for passage, many of whom
are intending immigrants in Italy and
other countries, is problem for the
board to decide if the ships are re-
turned 1t is considered unlikely that
the passengers will lose their money,
but IL is not so probable that creditors
with bills for repairs and supplies can
force the government to pay them, al
though they may libel the ships.

Stolen i'm 6 Months
In Two BorouggIs
Figures From Police List,
Publication of Which Has
Been Ended as an 'sUn-
satisfactory Experiment

The police list Of stolen automobiles,
publication Of which was discontinued
Friday, shows that in the preceding
six months 2,a91 automobiles. Of an
aggregate value estimated at Sc, 434 900,
were stolen in Manhattan and the
Bronx alone.
According to the police, the publica-
ton of the list was an experiment
(which proved unsatisfactory Ac-
cord'ng to insurance men, the most IN
satisfactory element in the experiment
was the continuing growth of automo-
bile thievery. Less than half of the
stolen cars have been recovered, it is
said.
Publication Of the list was discon-
tinued forty-eight hours after the car
thieves had their banner day. Last
Wednesday thirty-fve cars were stolen
Last Friday the Unsatisfactory ex-
pertinent Of the Police Department
came to an abrupt end.
The increase in car tfefts has been
steady, it is said, and too great to be
accounted for merely by the fact that
the earlier figures in the list were for
the winter months and the later ones
for the summer months. Fewer than
fifteen cars day were being taken by
thieves last February During the first
ten days Of August 215 cars were
stolen.

ress made by the Industry" week by

Hays No Press Censor;

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14,-Postmas-
ter General Hays has no desire to be
made censor Of the press, he declared
today IN a statement issued in con-
nection with the application Of the
New York volkszeitung for second
class mailing privileges. The applica-
ton has been approved The Postmas-
ter General said:
II want again to call the attention of
the publishers to the fact that am
not. and will not allow myself to be
made, censor of the press. / believe
that any publication that is entitled to
the use of the mails at all is entitled
to the second class privileges provided
that it meets the requirements of the
law for second-class matter. A publ
cation once entered as second class
matter is entitled to the very hest and
most prompt service and to the least
possible interference with its constitu-
tional freedom of thought and action.
There is. however. placed upon me,
by certain statutes, responsibilities in
this connection shat must be upheld so
long as the lazy remains as it is. / viii
at all times act with moderation and
considerat ton for the freedom of the
press, but l must and will enforce in
good nth, without evoking technical
ties, those tatues declaring certain

eve intend, however, that there shall
be no secrecy in regard to any matter
which, under these laws, may be held
to be non mailable. We will have the
actual copies of any newspaper or pc
riodical that may be withheld from the
mails available to representatives of
the press and others interested. to-
gether with complete file of each
case. | am not only making these
records available but I hope that the
newspapers Will not pass unchallenged
or unnoticed any case in which, in theil
opinion, the department goes beyond
fair Interpretation of the law, if
such case should arise. No one can
feel stronger than we do the i'm
portance of UNFOLDING the freedom OF

The principal speaker of the &C.
casion will be Mrs. Maud Wood Park
Mrs. Park is not only nationally
prominent as chairman of the Ma
tional League of Women Voters, but
is also widely known as chairman of
the Joint Congressional Committee
which represents many groups of
American women, such as the Gen
eul Federation of Women's Clubs,
the National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, the National
Consumers League, and others of
equal Importance. The committee
serves as clearing house for legis-
lation in which women are especially
interested, and active work for vari-
Gus measures is done by sub-commit-
tees, made up of representatives
from organizations which have en-
dorsed that particular bill.
Mrs. Park is an inspiring speaker.
Her belief in the principles for which
the League of Women Voters stands
is so firm that she impresses upon
others sense of the far reaching
value of the task to which the League
of Women Voters is committed. 1.-THE
League is a potent force" said Mrs
Park in a recent interview, mot only

because it urges women to enroll IN
the political parties, and work
through them to improve the ma
chinery of government, but because
it also provides meeting ground TOT
women of all parties and all groups
where they may exchange ideas,
make plans, and work together for
things in which they have common
interest. 1t unites the country
woman power into a new force Tor
the humanizing of government
Mrs. Hubert of New York is now
in Augusta, and with Miss Seymour
has been in conference with MISS
Conner, making plans for the con-
vention and conference. 1t is expect
ed that the meeting will give added
stimulus to the interest of Maine
women in public affairs, and in the
service which every voter owes to his
or her political party,-a matter
which is emphasized by the League
of Women Voters everywhere.
1.-THE League" said Mrs. Hubert
when interviewed today, has from
it's earliest organization urged its
members to enroll in political parties.
The average citizen can best function
through a party, and it is his duty
and his privilege to perform party
service. 1t is also true however,
that there are many matters OF spe-
cial interest to the woman citizen.
and many facts in connection with
the operation of government. upon
al tv,fo
ton. In such an organization as the
League, women of all political be-
liefs meet on a common ground, for
education and for discussion of those
problems which are peculiarly of in
terest to them. Having secured such
educational advantage. they are far
better able to function intelligently
as party members and as good citi-
zenS"
Mrs. Hubert stated that in her in
terviews with local people she had
found encouraging evidence of inter-
est in public question, and hearty en-
dorsement of the policy of the
League. She quoted in this connec-
ton an interview with the Hon. Lewis
A. Burleigh Il am informed" Mr..
Burleigh stated in giving an endorse
ment of the League. that the League
of Women Voters IS bipartisan,
that it's aims are educational, par.
ticulurly in matters of interest to
women, and that it's policy is to urge
women to affiliate themselves with
some political party. If conducted
consistently along these lines. l be-
lieve it will amply justify it's exis-
tence."
The State League is urging all per-
sons interested in it's general aim and
policy to make a special effort to at
tend the meeting at Brunswick,
where the National leaders will be
glad to make clear all details of the
program of the organization and to
tell what the League has been doing
