Steamship Firm
 Is Charged With
 Heecing Aliens
Government Regains Poses sion of Nine Vessels
 For Ship Board

NEW YORK, Aug. 27. - Charges that the United States Mail Steam ship company had diverted through prior uses $1,20O,0OO obtained from immigrants, were made today by Chairman Lasker of the shipping board after the government had re- gained possession of nine ships origi- nally chartered by the company. ' Lasker announced that, with the vessels restored to the board by court order, they would be operated by special committee until the board decided whether to sell or char ter them Co another company.
 He declared that the $1,200,000 rep resented advance money collected from immigrants for passage, hotel expenses, railroad fares and immigra- tion head taxes, and that decision temporarily to operate the vessels as patriotic service was reached be- cause "the government feels that it could not permit fraud and hardships to be worked on thousands of immi- grants" Diversion of the funds, he asserted, was an ''unconscionable act"
 The fight for possession of the nine vessels has been in progress since they were seized by the board last month on the ground of non-p ment of rental.
 The committee which will operate the vessels comprises w. Averill liar
 riman, Kermit Roosevelt, and A. " Moors, who will serve without com
 pensation. Lasker, in his statement declared that the board had started its action ito maintain the American flag flying on the seas and to pro tect innocent immigrants who we dis covered were being fleeced." No so-called alien shipping inter ests will be permitted to drive the American flag from the seas-not SC long as American citizens are willing ] and able to operate American ships l for.

DEMONSTRATIONS HELD
Berlin and Munich Govern ments Unable to Agree
 on National Issues

BERLIN, Aug. 27. - (By the Asso- ciated Press.) - The government has visibly been disconcerted over the possible effects of two events which occurred Friday. both of which were wholly unexpected = the murder in Baden of Matthias Erzberger. former vice chancellor, and minister of fi- nance. and demonstrations in Munich against high prices and the alleged reactionary methods of the Vavarian authorities.
 The ssassination of Herr Erzberg CT, which is viewed here as an adbor- rent political murder, and the situa- tion in Munich are regarded as hay ing the aspects of storm signals, the results of which cannot be foretold at this hour. The government has given public expression of its repug- nance at the killing of the former vice chancellor who not only ras a personal friend of Chancellor Wirth, but also was close party colleague of the chancellor.
 Herr Erzberger generally was count ed as attached to the left wing of the clerical party. in opposition to form CT Chancellor Fehrenbach. Dr. Peter Spahn and other centerist veterans, who never discussed their political differences with Herr ErZberger.
 That the latter, in the event of his reappearance in politics in support of the present government, threatened by reason of the bitter political en mity to him in many quarters GO Ue come a menace to Chancellor Wirth's administration, was commonly con ceded. and friends of the chancellor are quoted as privately commenting that the murder carries certain irony in that it freed the chancellor of a menacing political encumbrance The government is apparently more than apprehensive in regard to the notifications in the threatened Bays. ian situation which is now resolving itself into a final test of strength be tween Premier Kahr and his faithN chief of police, Poehner on the ont hand. and the labor elements on thu other In political circles, here, how ever, it is considered that the Bavar ian officials will have to work ou their own salvation. as the centra government in Berlin, for various req sons, has not felt it possible to com' to their rescue. In this connection moreover, political circles point ou that the Berlin and Munich govern ments have not given indications. O over-affection for each other.
 Herr Erzberger's body will b 4Ioght to Berlin next Wednesday fo burial.

THE REASON WHY A
WOMAN CAN'T BE A MASON
(By Capt. w. C. Shaw

The'reason may not be very COM
plimentary to the fair sisters. Won
an sometimes complains that she is
not permitted to enter Masonic
Lodge and work with the craft in
their labors, and learn all that is to
be learned in the institution. It is
said that before the Almighty had
finished His work he was in some
doubt about creating Eve. The crea-
ton of every living thing had been
accomplished and the Almighty had
made Adam, who was the first Mason,
and created for him the finest Lodge
in the world and called it Paradise
No. /.
He then called all the beasts of the
field and fowls of the air to pass be-
fore Adam in order that he might
name them, which he had to do alone
so that there would be no confusion.
He knew that Eve would make trou-
BILE if she was allowed to participate
ir it if he created her beforehand.
Adam was very much fatigued
with his task and fell asleep and
when he awoke he found Eve in the
Lodge with him. Adam being senior
warden placed Eve as the pillar of
beauty in the South and they receiv-
ed their instructions from the grand
master. When finished she Immediate
ly called crafts from labor to re-
freshment instead of attending to the
duties of her Office as she ought. She
left her station, violated her obliga-
tion, and let in an expelled Mason
who had no business there and went
around with him, leaving Adam to
take care of the jewels. The fellow
had been expelled from the grand
lodge with several others, sometimes
before. Hearing the footsteps of the
grand master he suddenly took his
life, telling Eve to make aprons for
she and Adam were not in proper re-
gala.
She went and told Adam and when
the grand master returned to the
lodge he found his gavel had been
stolen. He called for the senior and
junior wardens. who had neglected
to guard the door, and found them

TO EXPLORE OCEANS DEPTHS
British Government Contemplating an
Expedition for the Gathering Of
Scientific Information.

The British government Is c0ntem-
plating the dispatch Of a deep-sea ex-
ploring expedition which is expected
to gather much valuable scientific in.
formation.
Most people imagine that the depths
Of the ocean have been pretty thor
oughly explored. but this is very far
from being true. AS matter of fact,
only a very small fraction Of the
whole area of deep sea bottom has
been surveyed. Attention is particu-
larly called to vast subaqueous re-
gion around the Falkland islands and
up as far as Montevideo, which is al
most unknown, and which, having a
depth of less than 100 fathoms, may
offer opportunities for the development
Of lucrative fisheries.
The first deep-sea exploring expe-
dition, that Of the famous Challenger,
was set on foot just 80 years ago.
The ship left port in 1872, and ideas
on the subject were in those days so
primitive that there was dispute as
to whether she should use wire or
hempen rope for soundings. 1t took a
whole day to make one sounding, or
a single cast of the dredge for bring
ing up fishes and other animals.
Since then deep-sea sounding ap-
paratus has been much improved by
cable ships, and fishing gear has been
greatly modified by steam trawlers,
which use dredges. Besides, q great
deal that Is of value has been learned
by oceanographic expeditions subse-
ouent to that of the Challenger. Hence
the new exploring vessel will start out
with a prospect Of accomplishing a
very great deal of work Of real i'm
portance.

ing there, instead of occupying his
official station. Adam replied that he
was waiting for Eve to call the
CART for refreshment to labor again,
and that the craft was not properly
clothed, which they were making pro-
vision for.
Turning TO Eve he asked her what
excuse she had to offer for her unof-
fetal and unmasonic conduct. She
replied that a fellow passing him
self off as grand lecturer had given
her instructions and she thought it
was no harm to obey them.
The grand master then asked her
what had become Of his gavel. She
did not know unless the fellow had
taken it away with him. Finding that
Eve was no longer trustworthy and
that she has caused Adam to neglect
his duty and had let in one whom he
had expelled, the grand master had
the lodge closed and turned them out
and sent faithful teller to guard
the door, and this is why woman
can't be an inside mason.
