Washington.-Government op-
GRAFTON of the merchant marine on
scale not yet conceived appears
certain after the bids and in
quiries received from private con
Germs apparently failed to impress
the Shipping Board.
For two weeks the Board will seek
to clarity the offers and inquiries.
Then It is expected to announce a
policy which closely adheres to re-
cent declarations from President
Harding and Chairman Lasker favor
able to Government operation on an
extensive basis.
Lasker issued the following state
ment.
THE Board received about twenty
communication some containing def
mite bids and others nebulous offers
of negotiation. OF these twenty, four
or FIVE appear to offer possibilities,
four more are IN the twilight zone
and the remainder could not be seri-
ously considered by any body of men
under the circumstances.
Until the Board develops definite
offers from the few promising bid
ders, by personal interview to be i'm
mediately arranged. no announce
ment viii be made, since not one Of
the bids within itself is complete. Even
those that are in this possible class
are more or less general"
Lasker refused to go beyond his
formal statement when asked II he
considered that the cream" OF the
lines had been bid for, but he stated
that the most promising prospects
were for the Pacific Coast and South
American lines. One inquiry con-
cerned North Atlantic line and an
other did not say whether the offer
was for cargo or passenger vessels.
The full Board mulled over the bids
and inquiries and Edward P. Farley,
who will succeed Lasker as chairman
June 10, sat with them.
IL SupbichCutdig ptdtCnrhb
Lasker said:
"In view Of the fact that nearly all
the bidders among the four or FIVE
whose bids appear to offer possibili-
ties are now in New York. the Board
has appointed a committee to go to
New York to confer with them and
develop their bids"
Lasker added that additional bids
would be received and queries given
attention during the sitting Of the
Board up to the time of his retire
ment.
He stated that a report would be
made at once to President Harding.
Army and Navy officials were plain
ly optimistic over the prospect that
the Government would take the bull
by the horns and extend United States
trade to the four ends Of the earth.

RUM OFFENSIVE ON
WASHINGTON MADE
Booze Ring Reported Trying 10
Capture Capital
SOME SUCCESS RECORDED
Dry Forces Assert Major Purpose OF
Making City Wettest Spot Has
FalIed--used All Means
Except AIrpIane.

Washington.-The creates S I
"booze offensive since prohibi-
tion became effective is being di-
rected at the nations capital.
Undaunted by the repulses suffered
at the hands Of Federal prohibition
agents, the rum-runners who have set
out to capture Washington during the
Shriners' convention are continuing
their efforts to break through the
triple ring Of the city's dry offenses.
Reports indicated that they were
succeeding, in a measure. but that
thus far they have failed in their
major purpose-to turn the capital
into the wettest spot in America for a
week.
The only means the rum-runners
have not used in attempting to pour
Illicit booze into Washington is the
airplane. BY boat, automobile, train,
by mule team and even by wheelbar-
row they have sought to slip past the
guardian outposts, made up of city
police. Federal prohibition agents and
Department Of Justice secret service
men.
The ring which Federal officials
have been convinced for some time, is
behind rum-smuggling on the Atlantic
Coast. and which probably has a hand
in running booze across the Mexican
and Canadian borders, is behind the
assault on Washington. Dry agents
have been informed that bootleggers
boasted they would make Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes and his force a
laughing stock by landing and distrib-
uting more booze in Washington in 10
days than has been sold in any Amer
lean city in a similar period since
July /, 1918.
Haynes said that practically no
genuine liquor has found It's way into
Washington. What there is here, he
said, is bootleg stuff"
Reports from dry agents In Norfolk
indicate thss the rum fleet, which
anchored on the capes last week, had
not abandoned efforts to land its
cargo. The feet departed after rev.
enue cutters poked the muzsIes of
their guns beyond the capes. Now, re-
ports to headquarters say. the ships
are coming back and one Of them is
said to be armed.
Baltimore and Norfolk are the head
quarters and operating bases of the
bootleg army, according to information
reaching prohibition agents.

June is the only month without a
holiday or feast day.
This month of perfect days, devoted
to blushing brides and sweet girl
graduates. has been avoided by those
mysterious powers who select special
days for observation of great events.
Perhaps it ia because June is the love
month.
The autumn and winter months
seem to have the most celebrations
although we do have July 4.
In September the first Monday is
observed as Labor Day. September
II is Old Defenders Day and there
are two Jewish feasts in the month.
September 20. the Day of Atonement,
and September 25 the Feast of the
Tabernaeles. And so it goes with the
other months.
June is the sighted sister among
the twelve and 1t is remarkable in
that the days OF this month are SO
especially adapted for loafing and for
getting the cares Of business.
Something should be done about it.

Pittsburgh. = The Children's
Hospital of Pittsburgh was de
stroyed by fire. More than 100
little patients, most Of them Grip
pied, were moved to the Magee
Maternity Hospital nearby. So
far as the authorities were able
TO determine, there was no loss Of
life.
The main building. erected many
years ago. and widely known as the
Moorehead homestead. was the cen
ter of a number of frame wings built
ns the needs of the hospital increased.
The fire started in one Of the wings
and spread SO rapidly that fire chiefs
saw the place was doomed and d.
rected their attention to saving the
children.
Nurses, marshaIed under Mrs. Ford,
she superintendent, and reinforced by
workmen from factories and trolley
barn in the neighborhood, carried out
tne cnildren while dozen or more
automobiles from residences nearby
drove close to the burning buildings
and hurried them to the other hos
pitai. a few blocks away.
-Four firemen were injured when
the roof of the administration build
ing fell in and two of them were
taken to a hospital unconscious. A
policeman was overcome by for
maldehyde fumes. The fire started
by the explosion of a water heater.
The loss was estimated at s65.000.
The Children's Hospital was the
favorite charity of many Pittsburgh
people and two years ago received
large bequest in the will of the
late Henry Clay Frick.
