Rum Ship Off Jersey Reports
 2,8OO-Case Cargo About Gone
Skipper Sends Word Ashore That Business Whiskey and Gin at $6O Case Has Been Brisk and He's
 About Ready To Go After Some More.

New York, July 2s-The skipper of a British schooner which has been lying outside the three-mile limit off Atlantic City and selling Scotch whis- ky and Gordon gin to all corners at s60 a case, sent word ashore yester- day that he had about disposed of his cargo of 2,S00 cases and was ready to sail back to the Behamas, stopping here and there, to oblige a customer.
 He couldn't understand, he said, why revenue agents and prohibition enforcement officers made such a mystery of his vessel. He hadn't made any secret of it's presence, he said, but had, in fact, advertised it so well that at least one motor boat visited him every night, sometimes more. Each he said, took away about sixty cases of liquor.
 The rum boat commander said that, although the schooner was not equip ped with wireless, nevertheless he was informed every day what was going on ashore through agents of the liquor com mbination. He told fishermen that the smugglers met the schooner at the Little Egg Harbor buoy. Five motor boats, ne said, ply back and forth, carrying the liquor into coves in Great Bay, where the cases are sepa- rated into small lots and sent broad cast
 A fisherman brought the shippers message ashore and quoted him as saying:
 There wasn't much mystery about

my business. The launches were run ming day and night. I'd like to get away quick, now, but still have some stuff aboard and may not be able to make a start for three or four days. These Federal men can't do anything to me, but they might make it damned uncomfortable.'
 The fisherman gave it as his opinion that the British schooner, a three master, painted green, which formerly sailed out of Gloucester, N. J., would loaf along down the coast, disposing of it's remaining cargo. He gave the name of the schooner and the name of it's skipper, who was of Swedish an cestry, he said, but a subject of Great Britain.
 The Britisher seemed much amused, the fisherman said, by the news that 4he British schooner Pocomoke, whose captain announced on tying up at At lantic City that bad weather had com pelled him to jettison cargo of whis- ky destined for Canadian port, had been seized by Federal agents.
 Captain J. A. Roy, skipper of the Pocomoke, was warned off his own vessel by the Federal detectives yes- terday and started at full speed for to consult the British Consul there. The explanation given yesterday of the seizure of the vessel was that it had been transferred from American to British registry without the consent of the United States Ship ping Board

CHINESE LIKE
 AMERICA BEST

San Francisco, Cal, July 2S.-Dr. Jacob Gould Scnurman, recently ap- pointed United States Minister to China and former president of Cor nell University, arrived here today to await the sailing on Saturday of the steamer Ranking which will take him to his new post.
 The "open door" and the territo- rial integrity of China are pr. Schur- mans policies, he said.
 'fWe are the best liked nation in China today because of our unselfsh- ness.' he said. But if we forget that unselfiShness, we will lose our position"
 China is causing out the old ed ucational systems and installing new ones and in this and other forward movements, .she is being helped greatly by the five thousand Chris cian missiona ries in the country. Ap- piled sciences, technology and scien- tific agriculture are the three great educational subjects she needs most of all"

NEW LIST OF NAMES FOR
 COMMISSION

Washington, July 7s-Because of complaints that only Democrats were receiving from the Civil Service Com mission application blanks with which candidates for appointment to post masterships in various localities may prepare themselves for examination and qualification, Postmaster General Hayes announced today that an addi- tional list of names now in prepara- ton would be furnished the commits sion.
 The lists now being used by the commission, were built up largely from official sources created in the last eight years under the Wilson ad- ministration, MT. Hayes said, adding that some Justification might exist for the complaints. The additional names, however, will merely supplement the list already in use by the Civil Ser vice Commission.

Aids In Working Out
 Standardization System

(Continued from Page One)
 In addition to this perplexing state of affairs. the difference of expenses in each hospital might also be laid to the lack of organized systems. In one hospital the cost per week for each patient might amount to s26, and in another it might be S36. Under the present system of forms and accountings. it is impossible to explain this difference without first making a complete investigation.
 Realizing that the situation called for immediate betterment, the American Hospital association took ing the aid of a wealthy manufac- turer who has contributed $1o,0OO to carry on the work The name of this man has not yet been divulged by the organization. but will prob ably be announced at the meeting in West Baden Springs. The manufac- turer recognized the needless waste that is going on, however, and placed the necessary funds in the hands of the association.
 Early in May the organization ap- pointed Drs. BreSnahan, Bachmeyer and Chapman as a committe to in vestigate hospital systems. and these gentlemen held their first meeting in New York City. early in June. There they reviewed thousands of hospital forms, submitted from all sections of
  claSsiflcations according to import ance, as follows: Accounting, pur- chase and issuance, administration, professional records. nurses schools and social service.
 Two weeks were then consumed in a minute review of the task at hand, by each member of the committee, and the three Net in Cincinnati last week for the purpose of exchanging views, compiling a report and draw ing up a complete set of suggestions The meeting was held in a large fac tory office, donated gratis by the City of Cincinnati as a civic duty.
 At this session, the three experts drew up a complete system on paper, which, if approved by the hospital as sociation will bring about a revolu- ton of hospital work in every city in the country. The plan will insure the same system of accounting in every hospital, an identical check on sup plies and patients records. Three special sizes in forms were approved, and even the quality of paper was rated. Ruling of record sheets was standardized, and the old confusing system was entirely eliminated.
 With the adoption of the recom- mendations by the association, a hos pita1 worker can enter any hospital in the United States and be entirely familiar with the system of records. Work and costs in every hospital can be easily compared, and every ,insti- tuition will be placed on a thoroughly up-to-date and modern business sys- tenn. The report of the committee is now on the press, and when printed will be distributed to every hospital included in the association. Forms may be secured from the association direct. and the hospitals will be able

Bald Head Club Doesn't Endorse
 Bobbed Presses

Tn spite of the fact that John Rode
 meyer, one of the prime movers in the Bald Head Club of America is in favor of girls bobbing their hair, yesterday at the Heublein Hotel in Hartford refused to endorse ab- breviated tresses. The battle waged back and forth through the meeting until the inVective of the long against the short and vice versa became hot ter than the weather. The matter was finally settled pro tenn with the sending of the whole matter to the committee on ways and means, with instructions to determine if shortened treSSeS on mann 'Sel1e was a way of joining that elect group who sport no hirsute foliage on the roofs of their craniumS. Neither side gave up the battle and the bobbers refused to sur render their emblematic scissors. Both parties declared that the matter would be fought to a decision at the next session and Editor Rodemeyer threatened to bring some bobbed haired girls from the Greenwich Ker- mess to the next meeting and dare the anti-bobbers to vote against their style.
 Routine business transacted at the meeting included the organization re- quired by the act of incorporation granted by the Legislature. John Rodemeyer presided at joint meet HE Ol tue executive committee ana the incorporatorS at which the fol- lowing directors were elected: Leon ard J.

CORNELL TO SPEAK

Seeing no reason why Jills, just because they have no Jacks, should have no homes, excepting such as can be conjured up in city apartments or boarding house rooms, she constructed little air castle to fit the single woman, her income, and her presumably narrow margin of time for housekeeping.
