YOUNG GIRL IS KILLED Dozen Negroes Held In COnnectiOr
 With Child's Death

RICHMOND, Va. April 27.-A dozen negroes were detained by the police tonight in connection with the death late today of Celia Shevick, 16-year- old school girl, who was found under a railroad viaduct here early today a few hours after an operation which surgeons hoped would relieve the pressure on her brain and restore her to consciousness. Police authorities said tonight they had no definite clue to the identity of the girls assailant. Capt. Alex S. Wright chef of the de- tective bureau,s said the girl appar- ently was struck from behind as she passed an iron support beneath the railroad bridge. A trail of blood led from the sidewalk to the spot in the vacant lot on the bank of Shockoe creek and almost immediately be- heath the viaduct.
 Blood stains found on the clothing of one of the negroes taken into GUS today this afternoon were examined by. Coroner Whitfields who reported that he was unable to say whether the blood was that of a human be- ing. The negro, Ernest Bowles, said he had killed a chicken few. hours before his arrest and explained that the blood spattered on his clothing The coroner stated, however, that his analysis showed the stains were not made by the blood of a chicken. The police claim that Bowles was seen in the vicinity of the viaduct about 9:3O o'clock last night, the time the girl is believed to have been at tackled.

 The bidder will be asked to specify by May 2S the ships he desires to pur- chase, the route he prefers to main- tain, to set forth in detail his ability tor guaranteeing adequate service and finally to give the charter ire quency and extent of service" So far as possible, bidders will be asked to select ships now in operation and the routes upon which they are in service.

 Officials ot the shipping board would give no hint today as to what price would be considered "unjustifia- ble" in connection with sale of ships or routes. but it was reiterated that bidders who made tenders in obtain ing great bargains in tonnage would be disappointed The insistence of the board in recent sales of surplus tonnage upon price of at least $50 ton should not be taken, it was de- clared as a criterion.
 Chairman Lasker and most of his associates professed optimism as the results of the boards offer. The, op- portunlty to take over carefully constructed business, such as each route represents, they held, would be appealing to most shipping men, espe- cially those who have had experience as operators of government tonnage.

SECRETARY DAVIS ANSWE RS CRITICS IMMIGRATION LAW
Can't Insure Prosperity By Bringing In Cheap Labor,

PITTSBURG, April 27.-Secretary of Labor Davis, defending his new immigration policy, answered those industrial leaders who want the inn migration bars let down in vigor- ous speech here Friday night before the Americus Republican club.
 We cannot insure prosperity by importing workers to take suddenly developed places in industry for a few months and then throwing them out into the ranks of the unemployed I'd when the boom subsidies" Davis de- ciared. For the unemployed in America are always burden upon business and industry"
 He added that letting down the bars now would tend to bring pros perity to an end.'
 Moreover, Davis said, those who think that Europe is a reservoir of pick and shovel men and that all we need to do is to turn on the tap and the labor supply will flow" are under false impression. Quoting figures of his department. he showed that there was an actual loss of 16,S24 workers last year.
 "Of what are classified as labor ing classes we admitted 96,41O, and l13,234 left the country" he said. Most of those who came worked uur- ing prosperous times and left when depression came on, taking their sav- ings with them.
 O o O
 Stop Mexican Immigration.
 Repeating his demand for a new immigration policy based on selec- tion of immigrants by careful tests in their home countries, and enroll ment of all aliens, Davis also urged that the contract labor law be modi- fled and the flow of cheap labor across the Mexican border be stopped.
 The present contract labor law is so stringent, he said, that broth CT in America cannot write to his brother abroad telling him of an op- portunity for employment without rendering that brother inadmissa ble. .
 Discussing the achievements of President Harding's administration, Secretary Davis said:
 Those who would attack the Pres ldent face a difficult task. It is up to them to show that good times in America are bad thing for the of taxation is an official crime; that the wiping out of unemployment is a political trick; that prosperity is d calamity: that keeping the United States out of the blundering interna tional crimes of Europe is bad policy and that return to the wild extraV- aeances, the eXorbitant taxes, the for eign complications, and the hard times of the previous democratic ad- ministratton would be good for the people,
