told Ledoux their request was a
matter for state action,
Then came the division in the
ranks. Bud Taylor, leader of the
new arrivals from New York,
mounted the bus and addressed
the men substantially as follows:
I'm tired and sick of follow
ing this fellow Zero around. 1t
isn't doing us any good to pose
before the camera; we are not
moving picture actors. What we
want is work. This chasing the
cameras here is not getting us

do our best to land them"
Half of the party thereupon
started with Taylor toward the
union station while LedouX and
the remnant of his forces pro-

SUIT OF SPELLMAN
AGAINST DEMPSEY IS
GIVEN TO THE JURY

Batavaia N, Y, oct. g.
The suit of Frank Spellman
against Jack Dempsey to recover
100000 as his share in the prof
it's of moving picture serial in
which the heavyweight champion
boxer was the hero, was given to
the jury today.
Spellman's claim was based
upon an alleged verbal agreement
with Dempsey and his manager,
Jack Kearns, whereby Spellman
was to receive 25 per cent of the
profits from the pictures. The de-
fense was that no such contract
or agreement was made. At the
trial today it was brought out that
Dempsey and Kearns received
100000 as their share of profits
on the moving picture.

[ASkER PLEADS
FOR SUPPORT Of
MERCHANT FLEET
u. S. Cannot Market Her
Surplus Products Except
With Ships Under Her
Control, Says Lasker.
iBy The Associated rress.)

New York, Oct. 6.-Until Amer
lea as a whole awakens to the fact
that national economic stability is
dependent upon the establishment
of national merchant marine,
there can never be an American
merchant marine. Chairman Lask-
er of the shipping board declared
today in an address before the As
sociated Advertising Clubs of the
world
Reviewing the work of the pres
ent board during its existence of
16 weeks, he asked the patience
and indulgence of the country"
declaring that if these were not
given Americas economic life on
the seas. for the next generation,
is dark indeed"
Importance of Fleet.
"Until the farmer in Kansas, the
industrial worker in Indiana, the
miner in Arizona realize" said Mr..
Lasker, that the regularity and
volume of their daily wage is, in
measure, as dependent on the
establishment of an American
merchant marine as is the contin-
uity of employment and the wage
of the dock worker in Baltimore
or San Francisco, there can be no
assured hope that the flag of the
United States will be maintained
as 1t should be on the seven seas.
Sound economics accept as funda-
mental that national prosperity is
based on continuity of employment
at wages consonant with American
standards of living.
when surpluses accumulate,
prices are demoralized and en-
ployment ends until the excess
has been consumed.
Generally speaking, the last 10
per cent of production makes the
market and it is this last 10 per
cent that we must insure disposal
of to customers in foreign lands.
Except with a merchant marine
under our own control there can
be no assurance of these essential
markets"
The 16 weeks of work by
the present board, he said,
"have accomplished only al
mere beginning but u real
of the foundation upon
which substantial structure of
accomplishment, we hope, may,
in good time, be erected"

Ruths base stealing feat was per-
