ALLEGED Big
NATIONAL STEAL
STATES SELL ROAD. MACHINERY
DONATED BY THE WAR
DEPARTMENT.
Result of Federal investigation In
Connection With Millions of Dol
lars Worth of Surplus War Mate
rails Turned Over to States.

Washington, D. C.-Reports OF
a great national steal are cur
rent as result of Federal in
vestigation in connection with millions
of dollars worth of surplus war ma
terials turned over free to various
states for a specified purpose, road
building. State officials have been
selling that material Automobiles,
trucks, tractors, road scrapers, cement
mixers and gasoline engines, neces-
sary for road building, have been hand
ed over to the states by the War De-
partment under the authority of Con-
gress. Congress now is said to be
preparing complete investigation of
alleged bad faith on the part of the
states.
Large demands of states for this
machinery aroused Federal suspicion
Inquiry developed the fact that in GER
tain cases the equipment, instead OF
being used on the roads, was being
sold at ridiculously low prices. I'm
der the survey contemplated, DISPOSE
ton of every piece of machinery may
be determined. Senator James W..
Wadsworth and Representative Clar-
ence MacGregor, of New York, have
undertaken collection Of evidence for
presentation to Congress. Meantime
the War Department and the Depart
ment of Justice are attempting to de-
termine the guilty states and to learn
what individuals are responsible for
the diversion
At the conclusion of the World War
the Government had great quantities
of surplus material on hand. Con-
gress, realizing the desirability of
road improvements throughout the
nation, proposed this methods of dis
posing of the machinery, which other
wise would glut the market. There
was in the contract with the states,
however, specific provision that the
materials be used solely for the pur-
pose of building roads. The Govern
ment has had no meann of regulating
the use of the material, but can bring
to justice any agents of states respon-
sible for a wholesale diversion.

SHIPPING BOARD

WILL NOT HESITATE TO INVOKE
RETALlAToRY MEASURES
ON BRITISH SHIPS,
Must Have Assurance of Fair Treat
ment in the Awarding Of Contracts
For All Glasses of Freight-Repre-
sentatives Will Attend Conference
In London.

Washington.-Sh Shipping Board repre-
sentatives will confer with British ship
owners in London in an effort to OBJ
tain fair treatment for American mer-
chant vessels in the award of trade
privileges in foreign ports.
In making this announcement the
board said Captain Ferris, the district
manager at London, had been instruct
ed to make strong representations par
ticularly against alleged discrimination
in the awarding of contracts for car
rying Egyptian cotton to British and
American ports.
1t was said to be probable, however,
that the conference would have still
broader aspect, and that the board
would insist that it's vessels have
equal footing with British ships in the
awarding Of contracts for the trans
port of all classes of freight.
The board is understood to have
complained to British shipping lines
that American vessels had been denied
cargoes of Egyptian cotton, although
in many instances their bids were
lower than those of British ships,
which won the contracts. Captain
Ferris is understood to- have instruct
tions not only to protest against such
discrimination, but to insist that half
of both the direct and indirect cotton
shipments be carried in American
bottoms.
In negotiating with British ship
ping interests, officials here say, the
| board probably will take the position
that If the vessels are not assured
fair treatment it may be deemed ad-
| visable to invoke retaliatory measures
as provided for by the merchant ma
rine act.

most inaccessible spot on earth-the

be flashed to the civilized world, if the
plans of Captain Roald Amundsen,
discoverer of the south pole and ia
nous Arctic explorer, are carried our.
Captain Amundsen's schooner Maud,
on which he hoped to drift past the
pole with the ice foes, was disabled
by 4 broken propeller off Cape Serdze,
Siberia, after he had passed two years
in pushing around the eastward Arc
tic passage from Norway. The ex-
niorer left his vessel and her crew to
await break in the ice and proceed
ed to Nome, later coming to Seattle on
a recent ship.
The Maud has no wireless appara-
tus, but Captain Amundsen expects to
install one when the craft is brought
here this summer, to be repaired and
refitted. Captain Amundsen explain
ed that his party had been cut off from
communication with other human be-
ings for two years, with but one break
his trip out to Nome last year-two
years of ice-bound horizons, of bitter
cold, of almost endless night.
The explorer affirmed that his voy-
age had tended only to confirm his
previous theories about magnetic prop
critics of the Polar basin. He express
ed faith in his belief that an ocean
current running northwesterly from
Cape Serdze would carry him past the
pole and eventually into the Atlantic
Ocean.

Pair of Former Giant
Southpaws Clash at Eb-
bets Field; Reds Win

The Dodgers resumed their losing
ways at Ebbets Field yesterday when
they dropped the first game of series
to the Cincinnati Reds by score of
5 to 8. 1t was an inglorious relapse
after Mondays splendid exhibition
against Pittsburgh.
RUDE Marquard outpitched three of
Brooklyn's twirlers, but he withdrew
of life in the eighth inning, and
Adolfo Luque stopped the home team
in one-two-three order in the ninth.
Ferdie Schupp, who started for the
champions, spotted the Reds to four
run lead in the three innings he was
on the hill. John Miljus pitched from
the fourth to the seventh ard
Clarence Mitchell went the last two
innings.
Che Rube was touched for hit in
every inning except the second, but he
had sufficient skill to force his former
mates to pop up with men on the
bases. He frightened up whenever the
Dodgers threatened to score. In the
fifth Janvrin opened with a double,
but the next three batters popped out.
Again in the sixth Brooklyn had men
on first and third, but Myers hit into
a double play.
Marquard himself aided in the assault
on the Brooklyn pitching corps by get
ting three hits in four trips to the
plate. The elongated southpaw also
had a few unkind words for the
umpires, but the dissatisfaction at the
work Of the arbiters was general.
There We're several mild disputes by
both sides on Umpire Brennan's de-
cisions at the plate, while Mccormack
apparently bungled up two plays on
the bases, one of which spiked a
Brooklyn rally in the eighth.
The Reds practically won the game
in the second when they collected four
hlts and three runs off Schupp. With
Daubert out, Duncan singled to center
and advanced on a wild pitch. He
scored on Hargrave's double to left.
Shortstop Sammy Crane tripled to GEN.
ter and Hargrave tailed. Crane COM
pleted the circuit on Maruuard's first
hit, single to right.
The deciding run was scored in the
next inning, also at the expense Of
Schupp. Bohne tripled, but was out at
the plate in run-up after Daubert's
tap. Jake reached second on the plav
and scored on Duncan's single to CEN
ter. Singles by Hargrave, Marouard.
Neale and Groh accounted for the Reds
final tally in the sixth.
Brooklyn scored its first run as the
result of Janvrin's double and Miller's
single with none out in the third.
In the eighth the Dodgers worked up
a threatening rally and scored two
runs. Marquard showed tendency to
wildness in this frame and though he
scaped, the Cincinnati board of
