MAGIC CITY FIRM
 BRINGS RECEIVER
Steel Cities Chemical Company Causes Bankruptcy Of Vir-
 ginia-C Carolina

NEWARK, N. j., March .3.-The Steel Cities Chemical company of Birra- ingham, Ala, was the petitioning credi- tor whose action in the United States court here today caused the. appointE ment of receivers for the Virginia -Caro- lima Chemical company and its suDsld- iart, the Southern Cotton Oil company in federal court here.
 The action was based on $46,z2z claim against the chemical company and a $4,O00 promissory note of the cot ton oil concern. Liabilities of the larger concern were placed at $25, 900, 900 by the petitioner and at $l2,00Oy0O0 for the smaller. Both are solvent, the com plainant conceded.
 c. c. Wilson, president of the Vir- .ginia Caroline Chemical company, and Arthur c. Vanderbilt,a a lawyer of Newark, N. J. were named receiver.
 This action was taken, President Will son said, when it became apparent that it was the only means of protecting the company's assets and property and the best interests of the security hold CTS.
 Tt was hoped up to the last minute" " lie said, "that further credit necessary to carry on this seasons operations could be secured notwithstanding adverse conditions in the industry at the present time. This was found to be impossible.
 The company mas requested It's bank CTS to formulate plan of readjustment.
 There would be no interruption in the normal conduct of the company's busi- ness, Mfr. Wilson said. The receivers, under direction of the court, he said, were prepared to carry out all sales contraets N s |, hs

 Harry Portman, manager of Loew's BijOu, is another ardent Houdini fan who has seen him scores of times but has never come near the solution of the mystery.
 II suppose Houdini always will keep the world guessing as to how he re- leased his body from ironbound pack ing boxes, triple lock police cells. pad locked tanks of water. and similar con- tainers," said Mr., Portman. ''I un- derstand at one time they locked him in beer vat, tightly closed and so fastened that it could hardly be open ed from the outside.

GULF PORTS WILL REAP BENEFIT OF
 SHIPPING CHANGE
Statement As To Prefer ential Treatment To U.
 $. Bottoms Issued

, WASHINGTON, D. C., March B. The gulf ports of Mobile, New Or leans, Pensacola and Galveston will particularly benefit from the action of the, United States shipping boar in cer- ,tifying to the intersetate commerce commission that adequate shipping facilities exist, and that. section 28 of the merchant marine act, giving preferential treatment to American ships, should be made effective, it was stated here tonight.
 - In order that the situation might be fully understood, Commissioner Frederick I. Thompson, who proposed the resolution adopted by the board, authorized the following statement:
 Section 2S is mandatory section of the Merchant marine act. It pro vides that the through export rate, granted on through bills of lading is sued by American railroads on com merce moving to foreign destination, is available only to vessels under the American flag. It does not disturb or alter the present export rate struc- ture.
 "As a mandatory statute, its appli- cation could only be suspended upon certification by the shipping board that ample facilities were not available un- der American flag vessels. It has not heretofore been operative for the req son that American flag ships to move foreign commerce were not in regular service in defined and established trades.
 Ample American flag service is now existing. the restriction preventing the operation of the law has been removed, with attendant result that American flag ships will carry commerce routed on through bills of lading to foreign destination. Commerce moving in foreign vessels will take the domestic rate to seaboard, and then the ocean rate to point of foreign destinat tion. The result inevitably will be to largely increase the movement of foreign-borne commerce in American flag ships, for such commerce will now move at lower rate, and will particularly ,bene- fit the gulf ports of New Orleans, Mo bile, Galveston and Pensacola, where commerce movement in the years past has been in the control of foreign flag ships.
 ''The action of the shipping board brings into being one of the preferential features of the American merchant marine act. Immediately the inter state commerce commission rescinds its order suspending this section of the law, which order, under the law, was permitted only upon the certification of the shipping board that adequate shipping facilities did not then exist, this beneficial feature provided by the Congress and designed to aid American flag ship operation will, in my opinion, immediately and fundamentally ad- vance an American merchant marine to an undisputed position"

WALSH TO GET KEY TO CODE
(conslnusd from Pase oas)

will seek further details of his previous statement. that he gave Fall checks aggregating $100,000 at time, it has been established, when his balances in the banks on which he said the checks were drawn, did not aggregate any thing like that amount. '
 While the oil committee was laying it's plans to resume public hearings to. morrow, President Coolidge selected Samuel Knight of San Francisco as special counsel to represent the govern ment in the court actions to be brought in an effort to recover to the govern ment sections 16 and 36 in the Elk Hills naval reserve in California, now operated by the Standard Oil company of California.
 His nomination probably will be sent to the Senate tomorrow, the President taking this course in view of the action of Congress in directing that suit be brought for the recovery of the two sec were granted as non-mineral school lands to California upon its admission to statehood.
 Prepare Complaint Bills
 Special counsel in the Doheny and Sinclair oil leases went forward today with their preparations for court ac- tions, looking to recovery of the Cali fornia and Wyoming reserves. They continued preparations of bills of com plaint upon which will be predicated motions for annullment of the leases and the stoppage of the extraction of oil from the reserves.
 While withholding today any state ment as to their precise intentions, counsel was expected to. make some statement tomorrow. or Wednesday as to the civil suits. These will prob ably be brought in districts courts in the jurisdiction of which the reserves are located.
 The House naval committee will re- turn to its inquiry into the oil matter within q week. Representative Brit ten of Illinois, ranking republican on the committee, said today that Secre- tary Denby would be given an o!:,ortu- nifty before he retires from the sl met on March 10, to state in detail his part in the leasing of the reserves.
 Representative Britten said the naval committee desired to establish certain facts" in connection with the leases. In a resolution introduced dur ing the day, MT. Britten put 23 speci- fife. questions to the navy department regarding. the development of the re- serves. Among them were queries de- signed to bring out the attitude of former Secretary Daniels on the naval oil reserve problems.
 Cites Daniels Action
 MT. Britten in statement declared that hearings before the committee had convinced him that both Secretary Daniels and John Barton Payne, then secretary of the interior, leased without public advertisement the drilling of new wells in the naval reserves, is the best evidence that this was then considered to be the only method of conservation. He said his resolution was intended to clarify the atmosphere surrounding the oil scandals and to bring out the really good sides of this national calamity which would surely destroy confidence in our present form of gover0ment un- less counteracted.'
