Three Chosen as
Jurors Tentatively
I'm Baseball Case
Indications Are Selection
ofsl2 Men May Not Be
Completed for 2 Weeks;
Defense Motion Denied

CHICAGO, July 6.--No jurors had
been chosen at the end of to-day's
session in the baseball trial, although
three were accepted tentatively by both
sides. Indications were that the selec-
ton Of the twelve men to weigh the
evidence would go into extra innings,
some attorneys to-day predicting that
jury would not be obtained for two
weeks.
The defense, in examining veniremen
to-day, laid stress on the testimony of
an accomplice, asking each one if he
realized that a person called an &C
complete in legal terms would be
called traitor in international deal
ings and 'snitch' in the language of
the street."
Some of the men were asked if they
realized ball players were the only per-
sons bought and sold in this country
since 1861, while another question was
whether the prospective juror under
stood that the men on a Chicago team,
for example, were picked up all over
the country by scouts, just as Sui
tan's harem is gathered"
A motion by the defense that the
state tell which of it's witnesses were
the accomplices who had agreed to turn
states evidence was overruled by judge
Hugo Friend
well, I guess we know it's Bill
Burns" said Attorney Thomas Nash, Of
the defense.
"And this man of mystery, Billy
Maharg, whose real name is Graham
Maharg spelled backward-he's one of
their pinch hitters, too, think" said
Attorney O'Brien, representing Chick
Gandi!

retired manufacturer of Philadelphia,

Lasker to Put
Fleets of Idle
Ships to Work
Chairman Prepares to Rush
Refitting of Hundreds of
Vessels to Garry American
Goods TO Foreign Ports
Speed Urged by Harding
Capitalization of RESPONSE
biliiy Favored by British
and u. S. Marine Chiefs

Hundreds of ships owned by the
United States Shipping Board are to
be yehabilitated and put into the serv-
ice of carrying American goods to for
eign ports as soon as arrangements
IAN be made between the government
aid various shipping interests, Albert
D. Lasker, chairman of the board, de-
sIared yesterday. He indicated that it
Is President Harding's desire to have
he ships on the water with the least
possible delay.
Chairman Lasker, who referred to
sal commercial wreck the world ever
knew" when he was appointed to sue
coed Admiral Benson, came to New
York TO discuss plans with skipping
men,
Two Plans Offered to Board
Two plans are under consideration
for conducting the board under the
new regime, he said. American anG
British shipping interests favor plan
- having the entire responsibility CEN
e in one executive, working under
T.. chairman. William J. Lewis, freight
ttaitio manager for Furness, Witty g.
Co, and Il. s. Walker, president of the
ola Dominion Steamship Company,
" - said &c be under consideration for
t6e positio., in case a one-man plan is
.o.nment on possible appointees.
Another plan favored by the Shipping
Bard calls for the appointment of
t,.ree executives, each to be known as a
ce-chairman of the board and each
responsible for his department. The
division of work would be operation of
snlps. upkeep and ALLEGATION of vessels
TO various shipping companies.
Harmony in Organization
Mr.. Lasker said he wished to empha-
size that complete harmony had been
established between himself. the Ship
ping Bvsrt shd the shipping interests.
Appointments are to be made on rec
Steamsh 10 Owners Association and the
United S,a ties Ship Operators Associa-
ton after the President has given kis
approval.
''The carly o.. 7ation of ships now
idle is the chiet opj'st in view," said
Mr. Lasker at the lietsl Chatham. "The
big problem is To 9 Il all the ships into
active service. That is why il is i'm
portant to settla st once ths question
whether there WI be three men under
the chairman " one man. 4 soon as
that is settled we expect ~ go ahead
with full steam on. The board intends
to 60 nothing that will ;e.sd to create
friction either among the shipping in
terests or the public AID the board"
NJ. Lasker was askeG concerning re-
cent reports of many ships having been
mysteriously lost. Il think those were
merely painted ships sailing on painted
SEAS" he said.

Beer Emergency
Bill Is Fayorably
Reported to Senate
Measure Intended TO Bar
1t as a Medicine tsas
Amendments to Clas:ss
Prohibiting Importation

From The Tribune's Washington Burcaa.
WASHINGTON, July Favorable
report on the Campbell Willis bill,
known as the "beer emergency" bill,
was ordered to-day by the Senate Cors-
mittee on Judiciary. The measure
passed the House June 81. Before re-
porting the bill the committee agreed
t, number of amendments, most Of
them OF a minor nature, which had
been recommended by the sub-com-
rlttee in charge, headed by Senate.
Sterling.
The measure intended primarily 70
prevent the prescribing of beer as q
medicine and to stop the importation
OF spirits. In connection with tns.
prohibition of importation TIE com
mittee added an amendment which
holds the stopping of impor.al' ons
shall not apply to shipments en-
route to the United States at tbs time
of the passage of this act"
The paragraph intended to prohibit
importation, which was to some extent
altered by the Judiciary Comralrtee,
reads:
mo spi-ituous liquors shall be i'm
ported into the United States, nor shall
any permit be granted authorizing the
manufacture of any spirituous liquor,
save alcohol, until the amount of such
liquor now in distilleries or other
bonded warehouses shall have been
reduced to quantity that in the opin-
ion of the Commissioner will, with
liquor that may thereafter be manu-
factured and imported, be sufficient to
supply the current need thereafter for
all non-beverage uses"
The House bill prohibited the i'm
portation of Intoxicating" liquors.
The Senate committee changed the word
Intoxicating" to "spiriiuous." The
effect of the change is to shut out
whisky and other spirituous liquors,
but admit wine.
The committee adopted a paragraph
under which the commissioner may re-
quire changes in formulas of patent
medicines if he finds theJ arc used for
Intoxicating beverage purposes and in
the event such changes are not made
may cancel permits for manufacture.
The House bill has a provision on this
subject. The Senate provision is a
modification Of and requires notice and
hearing on the question whether the
article is being used as a beverage or
tor intoxicating beverage purposes.
The committee struck out a pro-
vision under which the person account
able for spirits lost by theft could not
be relieved from the tax unless the
person guilty of the offense was caught
and convicted.
Senator Sterling will report the bill
to the Senate tomorrow and press for
prompt passage.

Court for an injunction restraining
the parties Of the other part" from
resngaging in the bakery business.
The defendants appeared by counsel
before Justice Finch and admitted they
were making doughnuts, but contended
they are running a restaurant, and not
a bakery. They set forth that dough-
nuts are not baked and therefore are
not covered by the clause in the COW
enant under which they promised not
to do any more baking.
Now Justice Finch has to decide
whether a doughnut is baked, boiled
or fried article, and on this decision
hangs the result of the injunction pro-
ceeding.
1--WE bake no cake, or bread or any
thing else" said Charles A. Houston,
attorney for the defendants. 1--WE
merely do restaurant and lunch bust
ness. We insist doughnut is not
baked, and hence its manufacture by
us is not violation of our agreement"
THAT is very-ah! -weighty ques-
tion," remarked Justice Finch, land
shall have to ask counsel to file briefs"
