MERCHANT FLEET
BIDS CONSIDERED
Sealed Proposals for Pur-
chases Before Ship Board
in Special Session.

A special meeting of the Shipping
Board was called today to consider
bids for the governments merchant
fleet. In view of the probability Of
several last-minute proposals, how
ever. actual opening Of the bids was
postponed until late in the afternoon.
There was additional evidence that
the offers would fall far short OF the
hope of those government officials
who sponsored the final effort to
transfer the fleet to private owner
snip. Less than twoscore bids have
been received up to noon, and a ma
jority were understood to deal only
with the cream" routes Of the serv-
ice.
No Bids on Consolidation.
Several Of the eighteen consolidated
routes, which the board had organ
lied as a basis of the transfer. were
not covered at all in the early bids.
Chairman Lasker has announced
that the sale Will be called off un-
less sufficient of the routes are taken
over TO insure a maintenance under
private operation of the general
service now conducted.
With few exceptions the bids
came from the individuals and firms
now serving as government operators
and agents. Most OF them dealt with
the south Atlantic and gulf routes,
which have shown small losses and
in some cases substantial profits un-
der government operation.
Auction as Final Effort.
While officials have maintained
that the auction will be the last eff
fort for the time being to get the
out of the shipping busi-
ness. the board has before it one
proposed alternative plan" under
which the present operators would
be permitted TO take over the ships
under special time charter arrange
ment whereby the government would
be assured a maximum return while
the operator would be relieved of GER
tain restraints now regarded as
his activities. Another
proposal comprises sales plan
which would transfer the fleet at a
purely nominal price per ton, the
board holding supervision of all reve-
nues until a sale at a more reasona-
BILE figure has been effected.

Court Exonerates Miss Larrimore
of Misconduct With
Tellegen.
BY the Associa ted Press.

NEW YORK, May 2s. - Supreme
Court Justice Lehman today rendered
q decision vindicating Miss Stella
Larrimore, young actress, who was
named by Geraldine Farrar as one Of
several correspondents in her suit for
divorce from Lou Tellegen.
Justice Lehman acted on an appli-
cation of Farrar for permission to
strike allegations concerning Miss
Larrimore from her divorce petition
and in granting it saved the diva
from the necessity Of placing before
jury the evidence already brought
against her husband in referees
chambers.
The decision quoted a letter from
Farrar's counsel, in which 1t was ad
united that Investigations since Miss
Larrimore began to fight the linking
of her name with the case has led
were not true and that 1t was de-
sired to abandon them.
Justice Lehman said in his dec1-
sion: This abandonment OF the
charges against her represents as COM
plete vindication as Miss Larr1
more could obtain by a dismissal Of
, the charges upon the plaintiff $
tFarrar's) failure to press them be-
fore a jury.
Despite the full nature of the ex-
1 bneration given Miss Larrimore in
Justice Lehman's decision, her coun-
sci indicated he might appeal from
the decision and press her demand to
be heard in rebuttal Of the original
charges.

The amazing thing about the

Mr.. Hearst's sudden espousal of the

BATTLE CENTER.
Sporadic Firing Makes Streets of

communist detachments crept through

quarters of the city fire brigade, the

strengthened by volunteers from the
outside. They are doing police duty
in a spasmodic sort Of way. There is
guerrilla firing on both sides and the
battle seems to be increasing in in
tensity and to be spreading all over
the neighborhood.
Evidently the communists. having
received reinforcements over Sunday,
are making a methodical attempt to
win the center of the city. They con-
trolled the outlaying districts COM
pletely last night. At midnight mill
tary headquarters were filled with
sentries coming and going and fire
arms were being distributed. A
gentle-looking, middle-aged man was
giving orders and red guards, sleep
ing on table, were awaiting the COM
mand to advance.
City without Gas.
The city is without gas. the work
men having gone on a strike. Local
volunteer militiamen wearing white
arm bands have taken UP strategic
positions in Bochum. 1t is reported
that they number about 1000. The
communists certainly have more men
under arms.
AS the day wore on the firing be-
came more irregular and bullets came
from unexpected directions, making
all streets in the center of the city
unsafe.
The attitude OF the moderate So
cialists regarding the uprising 10 still
uncertain It is estimated that g.
900, 900 miners and metal workers are
out on strike in the Ruhr and Rhine
land. The organization of proletarian
battalions Is increasing. In Bochum,
for the first time since the uprisings
began, firearms are plentiful.
