NEW YORK, Jan. 1o.-ElIsworth Bassett today resigned as business manager for Mrs. Nina Wilcox Put nam Sanderson, novelist, whose di- vorce decree recently was vacated in Providence, R. l.. after charges of irregularities had been made. He left immediately for Madison Conn. to join his wife. sf +at q
 Mrs. Sanderson still was confined to her hotel room today in the care of @ nurse.
 Bassett declared his action was taken out of deference. to Mrs. Sand erson, who had suffered through hav- ing employed him. While he declared he did not know what had made his wife charge that Mrs. Sanderson might marry him, Bassett asserted his resignation should remove doubts in her mind. He declared he had nothing to add to statements in which he completely denied the truth of the charges brought by Mrs. Ras sett. -.
 Possibly the charges attributed 70 Mrs. Bassett resulted from gossip that had come to her." he added, If that Is the case I hope to set such rumors to rest. My only immediate plans are those involved in my going to Madison. So far as know I shall rema in there."

 CONSOL IDATION N
Merger With Southern Pro- tested By Mayor Taylor
 Of Mobile i.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1o.--Inclusion of the Mobile and Ohio railroad in the Southern railway system as ten tatively proposed for general federal railroad consolidation was opposed today before the interstate commerce commission, by Mayor R. V. Taylor of Mobile, who declared he spoke foy the entire state of Alabama. Such disposition of the Mobile and Ohio. he said, would tend to divert export and import traffic to the port of New Orleans and away from Mobile.
 The Southern's possession of ter minals and trackage in and around New Orleans and the general situa- tion of its rail lines would make preference for New Orleans traffic inevitable, he asserted. and corsoli- dation of the Mobile and Ohio and Southern would destroy opportuy mites for competition between the two ports. The theory of the trans- portation act, he added, would thus ba violated,

Wants s28,0o0,000 Alp. propriation For Fast Ships

, WASHINGTON, Jan. 1o.-Treasury officials still believe that effective enforcement of prohibition depends upon sufficient funds to guard the coast line against smuggling and Secretary Mellon has so informed the budget bureau. which is considering a program for expending $2S,ooo,o In expansion of the coast guard
 Most of the liquor passing through bootlesging channels, MT. Mellon be- lieves, comes from without the United States. He does not think 1t practicable to employ navy craft in the place of the low coast guard ships 1t had been proposed to build because the navy craft available are too expensive to operate and too slow.
 The Secretary also holds that the suggestion that shipping board boats be used to check rum-running Is im- practical. Most of the shipping board boats not now in use are regarded by him as being of a wrong constrrc- tion for coast guard work, and like " to cost as much to operate in one year as would be expended in the building of one of the proper type of coast guard craft.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1o.-Elevated to the chairmanship of the Senate interstate commerce committee with the aid of the insurgent republican and farmer-labor group, Senator Smith, democrat, of South Carolina, sent forth the word today that the committee would handle railroad legislation. "sanely and in the man. resentatives in Congress to act on It." A Senator Smith said he probably Would call the committee together before the end of this week or early next week. First action will be Non the nomination of two members of the interstate commerce commission and several new members of the railroad labor board. Several meas ures for amendment of the transpor- taiton act have been referred to the committee.
 Senator Cummins of Iowa, the regular republican choice for the committee chairmanship, who was defeated by Senator Smith. retained his place on the committee. today by unanimous consent of the Senate. A question as to whether he was a member was. raised yestexday on the floor and today Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the democratic leader. ob- tained unanimous consent that his selection as a member of the repub- lican committee on committees be affirmed.
 Senator Robinson explained that it had been the intention when sepa- rate vote on the chairmanship was demanded on December 10 that Sem ator Cummins' selection as member be affirmed along with those of all other committeeman and that the Senate vote solely on the question as to whether he should retain his p1ace as chairman.

Shipping Board Reserves All Powers Of SuperW- sion And Control

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1o.-The ship ping board resolution separating the board from the Emergency Fleet corporation as the direct operating agency of the government merchant fleet reserves to the board "any ana trol" vested in 1t by law.
 Specifically reserving to the board the power of final decision as to thade routes and ship sales and the right to dispense with the services of the fleet head, the resolution made public today. sets forth that it is the boards policy to delegate to the cor control essential to the full and effi- cient operation" by 1t of the govern ment fleet. A statement by the board described the resolution as an elaboration of that adopted by 1t in 1921, by which the fleet corporation was empowered as the operating agency of the fleet.
 The board delegates to the corpo- ration the authority of management, operation, maintenance and repVk of vessels. - Coolidge Yields Point.
 Although the boards statement said it understood the resolution meets the views of President Cool idge as to the new plan of operation desired by the executive, 1t was said at the White House today that the reservations of power by the board were not altogether satisfactory to MT. Coolidge, but that he had given his approval on the condition Of assurance of full cooperation by the board with Leigh c. Palmer, who has accepted the presidency of the fleet corporation.
 In making known his acceptance of the office after . visit to the White House today, MT. Palmer said that he had obtained the individual assurance of board members of such cooperation.
 Under. the resolution all vessels now operated by the board are allo- cated to the fleet corporation with additional ships to be allocated when requirements demand. The board $ authority as to management of all properties, including piers, drydocks, etc, incident to ship operations. and exercised through tho fleet corpora tion.
 Other Provisions.
 It is provided that no official of the board or any of its departments ration except with the concurrence of the board and the corporatiC board of trustees Except as to final approval of salaries by the board, selectionof all of the officers and employees is left to the corporation.
 Mir Palmer, the boards statement said, has been elected president of the fleet corporotion with the au- thority to exercise the fuller respon- sibilieies of that office and. respon- sible to the board, effect such changes in personnel in the opera ton of the fleet as would best accord with his judgment to continue tns advancing progress manifested in tho the past few years in the estanlisn- ment of a merchant fleet adequate to carry it's proper share of American foreign-borne commerce"

WIND CAUSE OF
 MINOR D Al M ACE
fContinued From Page one>.

(Continued From Page Onel company, which is about a milo and a half from the residence.
 The roof and west side of the plant Tenth street and Avenue E were torn away and William Piez, general manager said the damage was con siderble but was covered by tornado insurance. Repair work will begin Friday morning and it was expected operations would be normal by Mon- day. The large derrick held up by steel cables at Highland avenue and Elm street where the new Highland ton was blown over. A number of trees had limbs broken off in that section and along Avenue F 6 num- Der of windows were blown out.
 Across the street from the John- son-Thompson Steel company Estes Lumber company suffered damage reported to the extent of $100 to $150. In various parts of the city the wind took chimneys off and played tricks with the roofs, taking several of them off altogether.
 From Eighteenth street to Eighth street near Avenue F a. number Of roofs of small houses were blown off, front porches smashed in. car ried off or otherwise damaged and three telephone poles were blown so far over that they almost touched the street.
 Telephone and electric wires were broken at this point and things moveable were moved somewhere. Small debris was scattered along the streets, although the monetary dam- age was small.
 Several signs along the streets were blown over, in several cases nearly blocking the streets. Most of the damage done in this section was to negro houses though several houses of the better class reported some minor damage.
 All through the business district the wind swept with various re- suits, though with no damage other than a few broken windows. Hats went rolling down the street, um- brellas turned wrong side out. light articles were rolled from their rest ing place and around the large buildings the wind cut so many an- gles, no one knew where it was com ing from.
 In many parts of Birmingham the high wind frightened people, and some alarming reports were spread
 The high wind lasted but few moments and was followed by heavy rain which continued into the night
