New York. Hug 1s. CBy the A. P.)- The five ereat railroad brothcchoods. which have stepped into the nationwide shopmen's strike as mediators, today offered to the roads what they termed a practical proposition for peace. and the roads took the proposal under con sideratbon.
 "Neiaher side would officially dkclose the terms fthe pToposlion-"
 ''Jp some quarters c1cse to the confer ees. it was sad that acceptance of the proposal by the executives would re- suit in the immediate return of all strikers to their old jobs with full and uEilnpa.red seniority and pension rights in addition to retention of men hired since the strike.
 Tine proposition, on the other hand was outlined in other quarters as pro uiding for restoration of strikers a. rapidly as possible, with their seniori! rights to be adjusted ultimately to thu satisfaction of all.
 "The proposition, in these quaIuers was understood to be on the basis of { l gentlemen's agreement whath tra1 close to the conferees said would giv, due respect to the rights of the new men. This agreement, 1t was said would assure jobs to both the striker and the so-called new men. since rail roads and hcotheCFood officials hay stated that they could use 150 per cen of their normal shop craft forces t prepare for the resumption of coal min ing ands the transportation of a bumpe crop.

 heart failure today< at her home in Hampstead London.
 Genevieve Ward American trag- edienne, affeoionately known to the theatrical fraternity as The Grand Old Dame of the Stage, endeared hesef toI millions of theatre-goers in. every cor ner of the world during the 55 years she appeared before the public .n almost every role from grand opera to light comedy.
 sGreat as she proved to be in mock 1 tragedy, she was none the less remark able for the indomitah,e courage with. which she met and conquered genuine l tragedy when it appeared in her own life. Either of two eventsk occurred while she was still quite young might have overwhelmed a heart less sSout The first of these was an unfortunate marriage at the age of r to Count 1 Constantine de GuerbaL of Russia, from whom she separated. and the second was the complete lozS of her ftlging voice through an attack of diphtheria after her success in grand opera had been assured
 Madame Ward studied singing in Italy and in Parts making her first ap- pearance tsi Paino's opera Stella di Ma. l nevra Guerrabella.
 Warmly received by Italian audiences she continued through two more sea sons before going to Pards to take the part of Elvira in Don Giovanni. Then she appeared in London concerts where her success was striking. Born in New l York, March 27, 1888, daughter of Col. | Samuel Ward and granddaughter of | Gideon Lee, once mayor of New York. I Madame Ward seemed to feel in the be- ginning that she found mere sympathy from foreign audiences, but this proved to he an illusion
 Returning to America in 1862, she made her first appearance as V55letta in La Traviata- The next seaeoa she appeared in Cuba and it was here that the attack of -1diphtherfa brought her operatic career to a premature close
 In 1873 she returned to Eng.and bent upon trying her hand at acting and re- l corded an instantaneous success in her l first appearance on the dFP r1latic stage as Lady Macbs-h in the /leater Royal Manchester.
 Deciding to revisit the United States, she made her first appearance on the American dramatic stage at Booth $ theatre, New York, in 1878, taking the rart of Jane Shore in a play by that name and following it With several Shakespearean parts.
 On her return to London in 17S5 She Iapeared in numerous roles, terminating her almost uninterrupted activities ex- tending back A years with an appear
 anca ln Captain Swift. although she continued to appear tnrermittantly fol the next II years. London, England has been the adopted home of Madame Ward since 1900.

U. $. Still Losing on Ships
Report Board Made 100000 in
February an Error. Saws Powell

FROM Tho !~bure's Washington Bvrecu
" WASHINGTON, March 3-The differ
ence in receipts of government-ovned
vessels, operated under managing
agent agreements of the Emergency
fleet Corporation, during the month Of
fepruary and the sum actually paid
cut by the government to these prva te
operators did not representing a saw
ing of 100000, as Joseph ". Powell.
president of the corporation, indicated
yesterday, it was disclosed to-day in
letters sent to members of the Senate
ana House committees on shipping by
Mr.. Powell.
The Shipping Board, .1r Powell said,
IS sun losing at the rate of between
S3,OO0,000 and s4.oO0,OOo a month. Mr..
Powell said he was misunderstood bv
the reporters to whom he gave the in
terview
"As a matter of fact" Mr.. Pouell's
letter said, "all meant to convey was
that we had sent operators 100000
less IN cash during the month than thew
had paid us, and this merely referred to
the manner in which we were husband
ing our cash and keeping careful check
on the outlays by operators, not per
mitting them to keep swollen balances
IN trust funds. This very thing has
happened often before, and has no rela-
tion to the operating showing of the
month";
