SECRET ARY HUGHES
DENIES ANY PART
IN STEAMER DEAL

WASHINGTON, May 14,-Secre-
tary Hughes today declared to be
absolutely false" the statement that
he chad anything to do with the
sale of the steamship Martha Wash.
ington" to it's former owners by the
shipping board.
In formal statement prompted
by the reading of correspondence be-
fore the house shipping board inves-
tigating committee, in which Sec
rotary Hughes was said to have APP
peared for the former owners be-
fore becoming secretary Of state, Mr..
Hughes declared he had had moth
entered the cabinet.
Representative Davis, Democrat,
Of Tennessee, yesterday read the
correspondence as we'll as records OF
hearings by the house merchant ma
rine committee to show that Mr..
Hughes in December, 1920, three
months before he became secretary
of state, was active as counsel for
a. Trieste corporation to have title
Of the ship, seized from Austria dur.
ing the war, transferred back to that
company. He also produced a reso-
luton of the shipping board two
years later under which the ship
was sold for 100000 to the corpora
ton after the board had been adj
vised by the state department that
the Trieste company was then Ital-
ian owned, through annexation of
Trieste.
I'm 1920 when I was practicing
law and before had any idea Of be-
coming secretary of state" Secre-
tary Hughes statement said, IT was
consulted by the attorneys of the
Italians who claimed the vessel I
believed their claim was just one
and took the matter up. While the
vessel had been seized by this gov
eminent because she flew the AUS
trian flag, she belonged to Trieste
and to a corporation organized and
controlled by Italians. My connec-
ton with the matter completely end
ed before I become secretary of
state
when, a long time afterward, I
learned that the shipping board had
brought questions relating to the
vessel before the department of
state, declined, because of my pre-
vious connection as above stated, to
have anything to do with 1t. The
matter was handled exclusively I'M
der the direction of Mr.. Phillips, the
under secretary of state, on the adj
vice of the solicitors office, without
any reference to me-"

PO|NCARE To QUIT
POLITICAL ARENA
AFTER JUNE 18th

PARIS, May 14.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-Premier Poincare in
tends to withdraw from politics for
the time being, taking a complete
rest, and 1t is understood he will re-
quest a leave from the senate so as
not to appear in the debates follow
ing his retirement as head of the
government
NJ. PoinIns has received requests
from all S'er the world, particularly
from America, to write articles givs
ing 10th his views on European
politics and "reminiscences of his
twelve years as a government min
lister.
He will resume his political activ-
tiles when he considers the time
ripe, and meanwhile, the question of
who is to succeed to the premier
ship is easier put than answered.
1t provides ample food for specula-
ton among the deputies who already
are beginning to prepare for the
opening of the chamber on June 2.
1t also is receiving the full atten-
ton of President Millerand, who, it
is understood will take an early op-
portunity to confer with M. Herriott,
the radical leader, on the political
situation, so that the interregnum
between the resignation of the Poin-
care ministry and the formation of
a new cabinet will be as short as
possible.
President Millerand will follow the
established procedure of consulting
the president of the chamber, as
soon as he is elected, and the presi-
dent of the senate, later summoning
the statesmen who appear to him
most suitable to direct the new ma
jority. Only in the case the states
men submit a program which ap-
pears unacceptable would the pres
ident, in the word of Petit Parisien,
"be led to take the grave resolution"
of retiring himself.

altogether from public life, and his
newspaper, the Echo National, will

1t has been reported that M.
Tardieu will leave shortly for the

the steady march e Christian mis-
sions from the death of William
Carey to the present time.
High Tribute to w. Nj. u.
Missions were described as the
white pathway by which Christian
civilization might reach the dark
Businesses of foreign lands by va
rious speakers at the opening SEES
sion Tuesday evening.
DIR. George w. Truett, of Dallas.
Texas, one of the most distinguished
ministers in the Southern Baptist
convention and a speaker who al
ways draws capacity audiences here,
was to have delivered an address
but did not reach the city in time.
He is expected later in the week.
In his stead, DR.. r. J. Bateman,
of Asheville, who is widely known
throughout the south, delivered d
forceful address on home missions,
telling of the splendid work that
has been accomplished In bringing
Eight from darkness" in the isolat-
ed sections of the southland.
He paid an eloquent tribute to the
work of the women of the w. NJ. u.
in accomplishing the amazing re-
suits that have attended mission
work in the south, declaring that to
them was due much of the credit
for establishing splendid educational
institutions and sending home mis-
sionaries to out-of-the-way places
where much good has been accom-
plished
DR.. w. o. Carver of Kentucky,
speaking on the subject, Foreign
LNNrn-
ness" painted a vivid word picture
of the darkness, ignorance and suf-
fering that pervaded many foreign
fields before the advent of the Chris
ton missionary.
Paints Brighter Picture
He brought this situation into
startling contrast with that existing
at present in these same fields,
painting another graphic picture of
more cheerful scene-that of a
foreign field into which the light of
Christianity has come, bringing with
it Goodness, enlightenment and joy.
He paid glowing tribute to the
men and women no have gone from
the south as missionaries to these
fields, leaving behind. in many in
stances, friends and relatives in or
der that they might CRY the Cos
pei to those who had not heard it.
Just before DIR. Carvers address,
the meeting was thrown open for in
PRODUCTION of women delegates to for
eign fields who were in attendance.
A number were present, most of
whom are scheduled to take part in
the convention at later sessions.
Another feature which added
greatly to thu inspirational tone of
the first meeting was the music, the
hundreds of women who packed the
Tabernacle singing the fine old Cos
pei hymns with q splendid religious
fervor. The musical program Tues
day evening was in charge of Mrs
G. G.. Byers, of South Carolina, who
has charge of all musical features
of the womens meeting.
