SUBMARINE LOST WITH FIFTY-SIX MEN
DIRECTOR OF EMERGENCY
FLEET ABSOLVES SCHWAB

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. %
Charles Piez of Chicago, formerly di-
rector general of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation appeared today be-
fore the house committee inyestigat-
ing shipping board operations to deny
charges against the operation Of the
corporation which were made by
Martin J. Gillen, formerly assistant
to the chairman of the board, in a
special report submitted to the COM
mittee some weeks ago. Chairman
Walsh questioned the witness and in
the course of the eXaninationn Mr..
Piez declared that, to his knowledge,
Charles NJ. Schwab had never rcceiv-
ed a cent from the Government in sal
airy or for personal expenses while
director general of the fleet corpora
ton. Commenting on the charge
made to the committee at New York
by Col. Z. H. Abadie, former control
er general of the Shipping board that
a voucher for $260,00O had been pre-
sented by Mr.. Schwab for personal
expenses, Nh Piez declared at is un-
fortunate that any suggestion of i'm
proper action on Mr.. Schwabs part
has been made at this hearing. "("I
know, perhaps better than any one
else, the service Mr.. Schwab render
ed to the government" Mr.. Piez said
"Hc never charged his expenses to
the government directly or indirectly.
He was too high spirited a man for
that"

COMMERCIAL CLUB
MEETING DISCUSSES
SCHOOLS AND ROADS
Addresses by Supt. Hitchcock
Prin. Wilson and County
and Town Legislators

Good roads and education were the
live topics discussed at the fourth
public meeting in the winter series
under the auspices of the st Johns
bury Commercial Club at Athencaum
hall Friday evening.
i The occasion afforded an opportu-
nifty to meet Representative Gilbert
f. Woods, Senators William E. Rus
sell and Frank T. Taylor, as well as
Superintendent c. c. Hitchcock of
the St. Johnsbuly nublc schools and
Principal T. H. Wilson of St. Johns
bury Academy.
Representative Woods was warmly
greeted and responded cordially to
the hearty applause accorded him
thanking his hearers for their inter-
est and appreciation. He had a warm
word of praise for Speaker Billings.
He allowed that the session thus far
had not developed much of interest
or Importance, but he modestly neg
lectcd to state that day before at the
election of judges of the supreme
court he had nominated his towns
man Judge Leighton P. Slack to
succeed himself.
Senator Russell spoke in favor of
good roads. He referred to the
Greater Vermont Associations refer
endum. on the subject. He believed
that more attention should be given
the back roads, the unsolicited high
ways that are the feeders to the
trunk lines. OF course the road prob
lem has been more complex the past
few years because of lack Of funds
and the unusual labor conditions. The
federal road problem, combined with
the state help for trunk lines and the
town provision for the less frequent
ed highways ought to work together
for more uniform and more satisflc-
tory road conditions. The patrol idea
has grown from - miles to III miles
under supervision. 1t has been sug-
gcsted that the state road business be
