QUEEN OF AMERICAN
MERCHANT FLEET IS
SAFELY WITHIN PORT
(By Associated PresS

Newport News, Va, April 10.-
The giant ocean liner Leviathan
passed in the Virginia capes shortly
before o'clock this morning and
proceeded slowly up Hampton Roads
into the mouth of the James river,
arriving off the plant of the Newport
News Shipbuilding company at 8
O'Clock. Practically the entire city
and surrounding towns turned out
en- masse to glimpse the huge YES
sci as she proceeded to her berth at
the shipyard.
Norfolk, Va, April 10.-The Levia-
than, queen of the American mer-
chant marine passenger fleet, passed
in the Virginia capes at $3.50 o'clock
this morning after an uneventful
voyage down the coast from New
York, except for several hours delay
while she anchored during fog five
miles off Ambrose channel. She
docked at Newport News shortly aft
er o'clock, arriving off the docks of
the Newport News shipyards, where
she will be re-conditioned for pas
senger service, shortly before that
hour.
Escorted by fleet of tugboats and
guarded by several coast guard cut
ters to prevent interference by other
craft, the Leviathan proceeded
through the lower ba yinto Hampton
Roads, reaching the Newport News
channel at $50 o'clock. Her speed
was reduced to six miles an hour as
she entered the "cut," and several
powerful tugs put lines aboard in
preparation for an emergency as she
she went through the narrow chan
mel.
Airplanes from the naval operat-
ing base and Langley field joined the
escort when the Leviathan passed in
the capes. Rear Admiral Hugh
Rodman, commanding the fifth ma
val district, and Rear Admiral Phil
lip Andrews, commandant OF the
Norfolk navy yard, were on naval
vessels which watched the Leviathan
pass through Hampton Roads.
No trouble whatever was expert
enced in getting the ship to Newport
News. After passing in the capes
she was in charge of Captain James
G. Peake, veteran of the Virginia
Pilots association.

he had been asked by King Constan-

a tour of the southern states and
South America.
The report was circulated from
Charlotte, MIG, last night after the
former premier had been, greeted at
the station there by a number of his
codntrymen. NJ Venizelos said he
could not understand how such an in
depreciation could have been placed
on tnything he or members of his
party had said to those with whom
they talked at the station.
The former Greek premier said he
planned to remain here about a week
and probably would leave the United

SPENT S175,765 FOR YEAR
(By AssOciptea Pre-

Washington, April 1O.-The ma
tional woman's party in the first
year of its existence as permanent
association "for the removal of all
forms of subsection of women" rails
ed and spent $175,765, according to
the report of the treasurer, Miss
Eleanor Brenan, of New York, for
the year ending March 15, 1922.
The total sum devoted, in the pc
riod covered by the report, to the ac-
tivities of the association exceeded
by $4,000 the expenditures made in
1900, when the campaign was waged
for ratification of the suffrage
amendment. A large item in the lat
est report, however, comprises the
purchase price of the national head
quarters here.
