CHARGES BRITISH SEEK
TO SHAPE SHIP POLICY
Senator La Toilette Terms Alleged
Efforts "Insidious Propaganda"
Before Senate.

Insidious propaganda" hostile to
the development of the American
merchant marine was charged against
British shipping interests yesterday
in the Senate by Senator La Toilette,
republican, Wisconsin.
Detailing his charges that British
interests were at work to shape the
American marine policy to their selfish
ends, Senator La Toilette charged the
International Mercantile Marine Com
pany. an American corporation. with
being in fact British controlled. He
analyzed at some length the COM
pany'S controversy with the former
Shipping Board over the form of it's
contract for operating it's vessels. a
contract which. the Wisconsin senator
declared. aided British rather than
American interests. He went on to
say that notifications demanded and
secured in the company's contract had
not reached it's alleged evils.
The resolution Of the Shipping
Board" the senator said. does not
touch the real iniquity in the reIa-
tlonsh1p between the intentional
Mercantile Marine Company and the
British government and the British
shipping interests. Either the Ship
ping Board purposely set up a man of
straw for Mr.. Franklin (president of
the company to demolish or it had
not the least conception of the man
ner in which British influence con-
trolled the company.
the system of contracts and inter-
locking directorates of the company,
Mr.. La Toilette declared. presenting
charts and other documentary mat
ter. gives complete control of the
business resources of the Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine Company
to the British Government and the
masters of British shipping" British
directors and subsidiaries through
stock voting arrangements. Mr. La
Toilette said. control the company.
Senator La Toilette will continue his
address Monday.

Wondering Why

Men send their autos roaring
along the midnight street, dis
turbing people snoring, destroy
ing slumbers sweet; with cut
outs madly coughing and pis-
tons whanging loud. we hear
them in the ofing, the foolish,
fathead crowd. There is no
sense, beshrew it, in racketing
along; | wonder why they do
it, when they must know it's
wrong. Speed fends, in all the
papers read tales of death and
wrecks; because of speed hend
capers, men carry broken necks ;
and to the boneyard. daily, dead
men in hearses go, because the
speed hends gayly refuse to
travel slow. Cops run them
down and pinch them, the while
some victim groans and justice,
which should cinch them, just
fines them seven bones. Such
leniency's a blunder-they pay
without a tear, then scorch
again like thunder and kill an
auctioneer. 'Tis wicked to pur-
sue it, this vicious course and
vain; l wonder why they do
it-whv not be safe and sane?
| drive my fiery auto, thing of
brutal power, by fen and weir
and grotto. at fifteen miles an
hour. And though for years
I've driven my bus along the
pave, I've sent no guy un-
shriven to fill an early grave.
I've caused no sore confusion
with fender or with hood-but,
haply, in conclusion, I'd better
knock on wood.

Justice Mccoy, presiding in Criminal
Division 2. to serve fifteen years in

Harry A. MerviS and his wife near
their garage at 18th and T streets
January Is. A diamond pin and money
were taken from Mervis. while his
wife lost her wedding ring.
One of the men, wearing a mask
presented a pistol when he demanded
the jewelry and money from Mervis
and his wife.

the court gave him the longer term

aid was the instigator of the crime

from a longer sentence. Ruff, it was
shown, remained in the automobile in
