One thing that has hit the Canadian

like Toronto and Montreal and by the
shortsightedness of politicians who re-

In a little while the SHOWS will melt

LANDRU VICTIM HOAX,
SAY CANADIAN POLICE
Paris Heard Nine. Heon Died
and Was Buried in Montreal.

PARIS, Feb. IS (Assoclated Press)-
Minister OF Justice Barthou has re-
quested that the Montreal police furnish
all information concerning Nine. Heon,
who is alleged TO have been living in
Montreal year after she was supposed
to have been murdered by Henri Landru.
Reports have been received in Paris that
she died natural death in the Canadian
city and was buried there.
Development of this clew is the last
hope Landru has of escaping the guillo-
tine. to which he was sentenced by the
Assize Court of Versailles. His execu-
tion will probably take place early next
week unless the Montreal clew should de-
velop new evidence.

Subsidy Advocates
Urged to Tell All

Washington-Tell your constituents
all the facts connected with the ship
subsidy bill, declared Congressman
Hardy of Texas, Davis of Tennessee
and Bankhead of Alabama in public
statement in which they say:
"Being opposed to the ship subsidy
bill, We gladly welcome the injunction
of the president that the question be
carried to the people"
These congressman are members of
the house merchant marine commit
tee, which is considering the bill.
"We challenge anybody" they say,
"to point to single utterance by
President Harding or any other re-
sponsible speaker during the last cam
paign who raised the question of ship
subsidies, or even intimated. that such
was necessary or that ship subsidy
bill would be considered by the con-
gress."
The congressman call upon friends
of the subsidy bill to bring out these
points to their constituents:
That the bill provides for loan to
ship owners of revolving fund of
$125, 100000, at per cent interest
and for Is years at a time and up to
two-thirds the cost of the ships al
though the average life of q ship is
estimated at 20 years.
That this bill exempts snip owners
from all federal taxes if they use that
money to build more ships.
That no friend of the bill has
claimed that it will lower freight
rates.
That this bill authorizes the ship
ping board to make contracts for the
payment of subsidies for a period of
10 years from the date of making
contract, this being admittedly for the
purpose of preventing repeal of the
act by subsequent congresses.
That this bill confers upon the ship
ping board the most autocratic and un-
precedented powers with respect to
selling ships, making loans, making
subsidy contracts and handling
enormous sums of money ever con-
ferred upon any board, and yet the
shipping board is feverishly employ
ing every conceivable means to obtain
such powers and opportunities.
That this bill does not require the
shipping board to make any report or
accounting to the presiden., the con-
gress, or anybody else, at any time.
That when this country was in the
midst of the war the shipping inter-
ests who are back of this bill took
advantage of the situation and ran
ocean rates up on both their govern
mnt and the people as high as 1880
per cent over pre-war rates.
That the pending bill is infinitely
worse and more costly than any of the
various ship subsidy bills which have
been repudiated in the past.
