PREM MOORE URGES
FAITH In POULTRY

Many people are disturbed now
about the future of the poultry in
dustry. | see no reason for being
alarmed. I realize prices have
slumped back to pre-war levels. That,
we could expect but I feel that we
should keep the industry up to the
present high standard and continue
to improve. We must cut the pro-
duction cost. The easiest way to do
this is to increase the number of eggs
per hen. If you are thinking of re-
ducing your poultry flock, you should
consider what you can turn to that
will do better for you than good
hens. No one can foretell the future
but l feel that eggs will be good
price again this winter"

NOy|OUs WEEDS LIVELY
POINTERS |N1PROBATEsC0UR1

In the case of Henry Mortens I'll
versus w. M. Moneymaker, for po-
session of property after alleged
failure to live up to the terms of a
lease, a lively argument was stated
by the opposing lawyers before Judge
Adrian Nelson in probate court Sat
urday Warren Truitt and John
Nisbet appeared for the complainant.
The defense was represented by A.
H. Oversmith, which had demurrer
to the complaint on file.
Attorney Oversmith urged for a
bill of PARTICULARS. He wanted to
know what specific acts were meant,
and objected to the damages set
forth of $100. He wanted to know
why certain things were not in the
pleadings. He particularly desired
it set forth why mustard, morning
glory, and festia were noXious weeds
allowed on the farm by his client.
Mr.. Nisbet retorted by quoting from
the statute, and Mr. Truitt said the
failure to surrender the property on
demand was the reason for the dam
ages cited.
Mr.. OVersmith wanted to know
why kindling wood said by his client
to have been torn from the fence and
used for that purpose was not set
forth, and whether or not his client
supplied posts for fence building. Mr..
Nisbet said the defendant had not
carried out the supplies demanded by
the lease consequently the fence was
not built. Mr. Oversmith again sta
ted he wanted. full particulars re-
garding the noxious weeds, the fall
ure to up-keep the farm, and the
failure to harvest the crops.
Judge Nelson ruled that the amend
ments suggested be made in part. AS
these were complied with the demur-
rer was overruled On motion for
l bill Of PARTICULARS the court agreed.
The defendant was required to an

Coincident with Mr. Denby's an

hut that the results of those tests had
convinced him that the navy needed
more airplane carriers Senator King,
addressing the Senate in behalf of mis-
bill, said that the bombing tests had
demonstrated conclusively that "too
much Importance" had been attached
to capital ships and too little attention
devoted to aircraft and submarines.
Secretary DENLY indicated that in his
opinion it would be wise to construct
two new airplane carriers, one for the
Atlantic fleet and the other for the
Pacific forces. Two carriers were pro-
vided for in the current naval appro-
priation bill as it passed the Senate

provision and it was stricken out

William A. Anderson, an auto sales
man, who was arrested Saturday night
on charge of grand larceny, and who
is now facing bigamy charges, yester-
day denied the charge Of theft. In re-
gard to the charge that he is married
to Mrs. Grace Anderson and also to Mrs.
Marian Bond Anderson he said that the
"facts will all come out later" An
derson formerly resided at $50 West
18Oth Street.
Yesterday an attorney representing
Mrs. Marian Bond Anderson, wife No
2, conferred with Assistant District At
torney Ferdinand @. Morton and made a
complaint of bigamy against Anderson.
He was informed by the District At
torney that if no plea of guilty re-
suited from the larceny charge he prob
ably would take action on the bigamv
charge. Mrs. Marian Bond Anderson
says she married the accused man at
Port Chester on February II, 1921.

Ship Board Meets TODAY
To ReUieaU Seizure Case
General Reallocation Indicated
if Courts Sustain Case against
u. ;. Mail Steamship Co.

From The Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 25.-The full
membership of the United States Ship
ping Board will meet tomorrow with
General Counsel Elmer Schlesinger
and Director of Operations J. B. Smull
and go over all steps taken thus far
in the seizure of government vessels
from the United States Mail Steam
ship Company in New York.
Pending the meeting of the full
board, officials of the governments
shipping agency to-day declined to
make any comment on the controversy
that has been precipitated by the
wholesale seizure and reallocation to
the Hartman lines of the vessels.
The action of the New York Supreme
Court in granting a temporary injunc-
ton to the United States Mail com
pany to-day had the effect of curtail-
ing any comment that individual mem
bers of the board might desire to make
on the case. 1t was admitted, how.
ever, that during the administration OF
Admiral W. S. Benson an agreement
with the United States Mail company
had been negotiated.
When details of this contract was
sought to-day from Admiral Benson he
declined to make any statement until
the full board meets tomorrow and
goes over the provisions of the con.
tract.
my action in regard to the alloca
ton of the vessels" Admiral Benson
said, "was taken for the benefit of the
government and any comment on the
transaction must come from the chair.
man of the board"
Officials in Chairman Lasker's Office
declared that the matter was being
handled by the legal division OF the
Shipping Board and the chairman, and
that comment could not be made until
authorized by General Counsel Schles-
niger or Chairman Lasker.
If the Shipping Board is supported
by the courts in making the seizure of
ships from the United States Mail
Company, officials indicated a general
policy Of reallccation of government
vessels is to be made. All private op-
orators of Federal vessels who have
not promptly met their obligations to
the government, it was indicated, would
be compelled to turn back their vessels.

SPro-Foreignisns' in Ship
Seizure Called absurd
". AperiH Hartman Explains
Connection Of His Company
With Action Taken bx Board

W. Averell Hartman, to whose lines
nine steamers seized by the United
States Shipping Board from the United
States Mail Steamship Company we're
assigned, said at his home last night
that reports crediting a pro-foreign
motive to the ship seizures were OBJ
viously absurd.
"The situation is very simple" ex-
planned Mr.. Hartman. sour line has
contract with the Hamburg-American
lines to act as their agents here, the
same as they have agreed to act as our
agents in their hcme ports. The In
+ernational Mercantile Marine, P. A. S.
Franklin's line, is p competitor of ours,
some of that concerns ships docking at
Hamburg. 1t therefore is naturally
obvious that as competing line on the
same routes we would have no affilia-
tons"
"Then there is no foreign interest
involved, SO far as you know, in the
recent action of the Shipping Board ?"
Mr.. Hartman was asked.
Absolutely none"
Mr.. Hartman made it plain that no
interest of this nature could cripple
the American Ship and Commerce Cor
poration, the American Hawaiian Steam
ship Company nor the United Ameri-
can Lines, Inc. He is chairman of the
board of directors of all these COM
panes, R. H. NJ. Robinson being presi-
dent of the two owning companies, and
II. Dearborn. president of the Hawaiian
line
1t also was made clear by Mr. Har-
riman that his company, the American
Ship and Commerce Corporation, had
not bid on taking over the seized ships,
but that this company did bid when it
was in control Of Colonel E. w. Goe-
thals more than year ago.

can Ship and Commerce Corporation"
he said, until after Colonel Goethals
had lost out on his proposition to the
Shipping Board. AS far as we are con-
cerned, with the present legal tangle
between the Shipping Board and the
Mail Corporation, we have nothing to
say, as it is not our fight We were
merely asked to operate two of the
ships and take charge of the three

met the lion himself.
Henry entered in some haste by the
back door. He was id hurry, he said.
because there was a lion at the front
gate and he wanted his gun When he
had loaded it with double charge of
buckshot the lion wasn't at the front
gate nor was it to be seen anywhere
on Davenport Street
Henry telephoned around to the
three Cline brothers, the two Hoff-
man brothers and Sam Hall and
SAID: Lets 60 lion hunting; it's such
fine, moonlight night and there is
an elegant lion at the front gate" The
Cline brothers and the Hoffman broth
ers and Sam Hall said sure, they'd go,
each suggesting with his well-known
hospitality that the hunting party
meet at his house
Henry said no, he saw the lion first
and it was his party and they must
all meet at his house. They demurred
little but Henry pointed out that the
hon had left his house and wasn't
likely to come back that evening so
that they would be in no danger of
alarming it prematurely if they met
there. The Cline brothers and the
hoffman brothers and Sam Hall said
al right then, they'd meet at Henry's
If he was sure the lion had gone, for
they would hate to spoil the sport by
frightening the game away before the
hunt started
From Henry's house they went down
Peters Brook, which is a fine place
Tor lions generally; and sure enough,
they hadn't gone far down the brook
when Richard Hoffman saw the lion
and let fly with both barrels. The lion
went off at the same time the gun did
and for all that has been seen of it
since is still going.
If it isn't it's making big mis-
take, for the best lion hunters in
town are on the prowl tonight.
