SPECIAL COMMITTEE
WILL OPERATE SHIPS
RESTORED To BOARD
Lasker Charges Company Used
81, 200, 900 of Funds Advanced
for Passage by Immigrants.

New York, Aug. 27.-Charges that
the United States Mail Steamship
company had diverted through prior
uses $1.2O0,O0O obtained from immi-
grants were made Saturday by Chair
man Lasker of the shipping board
after the government had regained
possession of nine ships originally
chartered to the company.
Mr.. Lasker announced that, with the
vessels restored to the board by court
order. they would be operated by a
special committee until the board de-
cided whether to sell them or charter
them to another company.
He declared that the 81 100000 rep
resented advance money collected from
immigrants for passage, hotel ex-
penses, railroad fares and immigration
head taxes, and that decision tempo
rarily to operate the vessels as pa
triotic service was reached because
''the government feels that it could
not permit fraud and hardships to be
worked on thousands Of immigrants"
Diversion of the funds, he asserted,
was an Uncomfortable act.''
Mr.. Lasker, in his statement. de-
clared that the board had started its
action 'to maintain the American flag
flying on the seas and to protect inno-
cent immigrants who, we discovered,
were being fleeced."

OVER TARIFF BILL
Senate Finance Committee Will
Begin Consideration of House
Measure Thursday.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Tax legisla-
ton was given preference over the tar
iff by the senate finance committee
Saturday and arrangements were made
for the committee to begin actual con-
sideration of the house revenue bill

cupy the attention of the committee
exclusively until it is ready for sub
mission to the senate. which Chairman
Penrose believes will probably be when

Work on Wool Schedule.
Until taxes are taken up next week
the committee will continue hearings
on the tariff. taking up the wool sched
ule and part of the agricultural list.
Present plans of the committee do
not contemplate open hearings on rev
enue legislation. Mr.. Penrose said
however. that this does not mean that
no opportunity will be given for in
terested parties to give the committee
data during its executive meetings.
Lumber Fight Starts.
The tariff hearing next week on the
agricultural schedule will not include
the principal farm products under plans
made Saturday by the agricultural
group. in the senate. Its executive
committee. meeting with representa-
tives of the principal farm organizations
agreed upon a preliminary plan for pre-
sentation of their tariff needs and do
not expect to appear before the finance
committee until fall.
The fight in the house on the rates
on certain kinds of lumber reappeared
for a time in the hearings Saturday.
Duties on rough cedar and mahogany
logs and telephone and telegraph poles
were opposed.
