| SHIP BOARD LINERS
New York Interests After
Leviathan, George Washing
ton and Other Big Boats.

A new inquiry from New York ship
ping interests looking to the purchase
of at least part of the governments
passenger fleet was reported to the
Shipping Board at it's regular weekly
meeting today. Active negotiations
are In progress, although they have
not reached the point where terms
have been submitted.
The Hartman lines are understood
to be either the initiators or the sup
porters of the new proposal. which
involves the ships now operated by
the United States lines. Specifically.
the Leviathan, George Washington,
America, Republic and President
Harding are mentioned as the tom
mage being sought.
1t was recalled that the Hartman
interests last spring submitted an
offer to the board for the principal
tonnage then allocated to the United
States line, but the proposal was re-
jected and negotiations were dropped
Revival of interest in the purchase
of the principal passenger ships was
interpreted in the board as reaction
to thet recent sale of seven ships to
the Dollar Company of San Francisco
for $4,000,000, or about $40 a ton. The
price received, although declared by
board officials to be entirely COM
mensurate with the ship value in
voIved, was less than that accepted
by the board for some tanker ton
mage, and was said to be far below
what the shipping trade had believed
would be considered for passenger
craft

Tell President.

President Coolidge today received
conflicting advice on the proposal to
lower freight rates as an aid to the
farmers of the country.
He was told, on one hand, that
interests of the farmer, and, on the
interests of the farmer. and on the
other hand, that freight rates should
not be lowered, but that what was
needed by the-farmers and other in
dustries of the country was increased
and better service.
Gray Silver, Washington representa-
tive of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, and George Weymouth,
editor of Farm Life, Spencer, Ind,
gave the President a Closeup" of the
farmers view of the present situa-
tfon. while Howard Elliott, chairman

Opposes Congress Session.
Mr.. Silver called upon the Presiden,
at the invitation of the Chief Execu-
tive, and answered many questions
After the conference with the Presi-
dent, Mr.. Silver gave it as his opin-
ion that a special session of Congress
was not necessary at this time to helr
the farmer. because it would not be
possible for Congress. by legislation
to relieve the situation. He took the
view that what the farmer needs now
is lower operating costs and better
and wider market facilities. An ef-
fort by the government to fix the
price of wheat or other commodities
would not be fair to the farmer, he
said. who has in the last, three years

For weeks transports have been

one by one the warships have slipped

At IL o'clock this morning the Brit

of 100 men each, with their bands
and colors. took a position in the
open square of Dolma Bagtche,which
is fianked on one side by the mosque

Imperial Palace. Behind the military
lay the Bosporus, dotted with naval
and merchant vessels. The British
detachment took its stand" at the

while the French formed at a right
angle. The Turkish representation,
of equal numerical strength, formed
the third side of a square.
Repinced by Turkish Flag.
A few minutes later Gems. Haring-
ton of Great Britain Mombelli of
Italy and Charpy of France, with
their stats, arrived and were re-
ceived by Prince Seba Heddin Pasha

rade the four commanders took a po-

GERMAN POLICE oUsTED.

By the Associated Press.
DUESSELDORF, October 1.-The
security police force of this city
| which has been formally charged
with entire responsibility for last
Sundays rioting. in which nearly q
score of persons were killed and more
than 400 injured. has been decreed
out of existence by the authorities
of occupation. The definite dissolu-
ton of the force was announced to-
day by French headquarters here.
The French troops will continue to
police the city until a new German
police force has been organized under
French direction.
What disposition shall be made OF
the 900 members of the dfsbanded
security force has not been decided
but it is expected their green uni
forms will be seized and that they
will be either expelled from the region
or imprisoned.
French Charge RuthIessness.
The French Investigation, 1t is an
| nounced, showed that regional Presi-
dent Roddetz went to Gen. Simon, the
French officer in command of the
Dusseldorf bridgehead, and told him
that orders to break up separatis,
meetings at all costs had been re-
ceived from Dr. Gruetzner. the for
mer governor of the district, who
was recently expelled from the RuhI
and now is established In Elberfeld
in unoccupied Germany.
The French charge that the police
interfered ruthlessly, without provo
cation. An official report submitted to
the French by the German city off,
cials asserts that armed separatists
began the firing and sorely provoked
| the security police before the latter
| interfered.
Despite the assertion that the sepa-
ratists were unarmed, an American
witness declares he saw several hun
dred of them in possession of revoly-
ers and clubs, which they used vigor-
ously until overpowered by the Sc
curity police.
Casualty List Revised.
A revised casualty list compiled by
the French shows ten killed, of whom
seven were German civilians, two
members of the security police, and
one blue policeman, while seventy
four were seriously wounded. One OF
the wounded was a French soldier
one a French civilian, one member
of the security police and the re-
n1afnder German civilians.
More than 400 persons, it is now
known, were hurt, at least 100 OF
whom were yet in hospitals. 1t is also
believed that many were slightly In
iured and able to go directly home.

today. Reports indicated polls were
opened throughout the state with the
exception of four full counties and
uart of a fifth. Indications were that
an unusually heavy vote was peing
cast.
In Bryan, Harper, Cimarron ana
-~1phrsun counties all voting places
were closed and in Jefferson county
only six out of twenty-eight were
opened.
Armed Men Prevent Vote.
Johnson appeared to be the only
county where the threat of Gov. Wal
ton to close the polls by force of arms
had been carried out There 100 arm
ed state police held possession OF all
election supplies and would not per-
nit them to be removed from the Of
tice of the county election board.
In Bryan county, Sheriff John Conn
followed Instructions OF Gov. walton
and barred the election. An effort TO
obtain an Injunction against MN late
yesterday in state district court at
Durant failed.
C,immarron and Harper counties
were not voting because supplies have
not been received from the elestion
board and in Jefferson county pal
lot shortage kept most of the polls
closed.
No Disorder Reported.
From every point in thes state the
reports indicated the election was
proceeding quietly.

legislatures so convened are for

did SO, for the most part, with the ex-

challenged by the governor and that a
court decision probably would be
necessary to determine the legality of
the election.
