, FORMER HEADS
 OF SHIP BOARD TARGETS IN QUIZ
Lasker And Farley Charged With Effort to
 ,Discredit Marine

WASHINGTON. April 22.-Two former 'chairmen of the shipping board, A. D. Lasker and Edward r. Farley, were targets for attack today by mem bers of the special House committee Investigating the board.
 Representative Davis, democrat, Ten nessee. committee prosecutor" charged that both Lasker and Farley and some of their expert" assistants tried to "discredit" the government merchant marine in the public mind in further ance of plan to turn the ships over to private ownership. He developed from E. c. Hummer, vice chairman of the board, who was on the stand, that Lasker was "A very dominant fig ure," and that he frowned on any effort toward formulat ton of a shipping policy that did not square with his subsidy proposal while at Washington.
 Board members knew that Lasker had been given "a free hand" Mr. Plumm ertestified. and they usually acquiesced' in his plans.
 Mir. Davis charged that Mir. Farley had persisted to such an extent in his advocacy of corporation scheme" of operating the fleet. that functioning of the board during his regime came to virtual standstill Mir. Hummer said the former chairman had claimed "en- larged responsibilities" compared with those of his commissioners and that little progress" was made until the time Farley went to Europe about five months ago.
 The vice chairman testified that while some commissioners were in favor of the government getting out of the ship ping business and turning over the ships to private owners. he. and some others believed it our duty 10 maintain trade routes until private capital could be induced to take them over"
 He told the committee that while both domestic and foreign shippers were losing money because of the pres- ent depressed state of the shipping busi- ness be believed the next three years would see great improvement in world trade.

HARRY K: THAW
 DECLARED SANE
(COntinued from Page One)


 The spectators had been warned against demonstration, and there was not sound in the courtroom as the foreman made his announcement.
 Thaw Congratulated
 Judge Patterson, who represented Thaw, beamed as he accepted congrat- ulations. Billy" Gray, who had op- posed him bitterly, was the first to shake his hand.
 One of the Thaw lawyers ran for a telephone to notify Harry that the jury had found in his favor. He had trouble with the telephone and the news was being shouted on the streets before he got through to the Ritz.
 Gray gave informal notice that he would file a motion for a new trial. which means that Judge Monaghan can not sign an order for Thaw's release from ''Kirkbridge's'' until he has acted upon this motion.
 The presumption is. however. that the millionaire will go free on bond.
 T knew they'd do it, they couldn't do anything else. Why, of course" were Harry's first words.
 His mother was nearly overcome. Thus closed-or Degan-another cpl sode in that sensational career which started in the late nineties when Harry Thaw came east from Pittsburgh and scattered his fortune with lavish hand.
 The years between have brought the gay Pittsburgh youth grey hair and a massive frame which he still carries briskly and erect. Those years have seen Thaw seven times declared a lunatic by the courts and now twice found sane. He has been indicted for murder, for an abnormal assault upon Frederick Gump, Jr. of Kansas City. and has been accused of every crime of sexual pewersion under the calendar.
 Pleads With Tears.
 Judge Patterson's great moment came when, with a break in his voice. and tears that could most be heard, be pleaded with the jurors;
 I'm sure your verdict is going to send this poor persecuted man back to his aged, white haired nOther.'
 Judge Monag ghan's charge to the jury was a model of terseness and to the lawyers in the courtroom, there was no doubt but that eS bore through the

 Mrs. Cooney, big-eyed, cheerful and smiling on the train, had "dolled up for the homecoming. With her hus- band, she admitted 12 robberies which netted them S1.1OO.
 Writs of habeas corpus issued by Supreme Court .lnStice Levy were served on detective escorts Whatever glimmer of hope it might have kindled in the couple, whose baby died only II days ago, was soon dispelled when Supreme Court Justice Giegerich dis missed the writs and remanded both the girl and her husband to custody.
 Samuel I. Leikowitz. of counsel for the accused, declared he had sought to shield them, especially Mrs. Cooney from sweating" at the hands of the police.
 In court the Cooneys denied they had engaged Leikowitz as counsel and 1t developed that Cooney's brother Thomas, had retained the attorney.

 Reasserting his opinion that the United States should join the perma- nent court of international justice, Sen ator Robinson, said ''co-operation also should be given the League of Nations in every effort for disarmament and the peaceful settlement of international disputes"
 We have refused to join the league" he asserted, largely from fear of again becoming involved in European wars.

Madison Woman Author of New
Cold Star Song.

St. Paul-"Little Gold Star
Mother of Mime" which was adopted
August l6 by Gold Star mothers of
the United States at Salt Lake City
as their official song, was inspired
by the mother of Fernard F. Avery,
Madison, Wis, the author. according
to Mr. Avery VINO is a delegate to

here
As Mr.. Avery. who was totally dis
abled in the war, watched his mother,
who has been crippled for fifteen
years, her fortitude suggested the
words for the song, and although
Mr. Avery is not an experienced
musician he tackled the problem of
suitable music with great success,
according to the publishers.
The song has had a widespread
sale since its publication a month
ago by the Clayton F. Sunny COM
pany, of Chicago and its popularity
is increasing steadily, it is said.
Mr. Avery, in addition to dedicat-
ing the song to Gold Star mothers
has donated one-third of the royal

Bessemer Loses to Duluth.

The Bessemer Legion football
team lost its first game of the
season, the Kelley-Duluth team
romping off with a victory in the
game at Bessemer Sunday 10 to 0,
Bessemer held the visitors and
even threatened to score in the first
quarter. In the second quarter
Duluth made effective gains with
end runs and scored touchdown.
Continuing the tactics in the last
quarter they were able to make
another touchdown. Bessemer had
strong line which Duluth found
almost impenetrable, but their ends
were weak and after Duluth dis
covered this fact concentrated their
attacks on the weak spots and
romped off with a victory.
A Hurley boy, James Sullivan,
played in the center position on the
Bessemer team.
