PRESIDENT ASKS,
HANEY REFUSES, TO
QUIT SHIP BOARD

Swampscott. Mass. Aug. 31.-(AP)
Taking hand In the continuing dis
pute between the shipping board and
President Palmer of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation. President Coolidge
has demanded the resignation from
the board Of Bert E. Haney of Oregon.
whom he considers an obstructionist
to the Palmer program.
Advised by MIR. Haney that he will
not resign. the president. SO far as
could be learned here today, has not
determined what his next move will
be.
Mr.. Coolidge has tired OF the con-
tinuaL pickering between the board
and the fleet corporation president and
has definitely taken the side of the
latter While he has asked only for
the resignation of Haney, 1T is no Sc
cret that the executive is displased
with the general activities of the
board. He is represented as having
been most patient but as having
reached the end of his tolerance in the
factfonal fight which came to head
by the attempts of Haney to have
President Palmer removed from the
service.
The president has taken the stand
that President Palmer he given abso-
Lutte control over operation of ships of
the American merchant marine. In his
last message to Congress he asked
for legislation which would give Pal
mer authority for this control.
Haney is serving under recess ap-
pointment given to him last June upon
the expirati of his term, but there
is every indication that his appoint
ment will not be forwarded to Con-
gress for confirmation when 1t recon-

HOLD HEARING
IN DEATH OF
TRAFFIC OFFICER
Especial to Kennebec Journal)


Belfast, Aug. 31.-A hearing was
held here this afternoon in regard to
the tragic death last night Of Highway
Traffic Officer Fred Foster Of Lisbon
Falls. who met his death on Northport
avenue after colliding with a horse
towed behind load of hay. Witnesses
agreed that the officer was travelling
at reasonable rate of speed, and
Willis b. Read, the manf towing the
horse, stated that he tried to warn
the~oflicer when he saw his light APP
preaching but was unable to make him
hear. Al Moody. the owner, admits
that he did not have a light on the
rear of the load. 1t is believed by
witnesses that the officer did not see
the load or horse and did not know he
struck anything 1t all happened SO
quickly in the dark, about 9 o'clock,
for his brakes or clutch were not JAM
med as they would have been had he
seen the object ahead and tried to stop
his machine. The investigation today
was conducted by County Attorney c.
r. Chapman in the presence of Medi-
cal Examiner DR.. Orris S. Vickery and
Sheriff +. A. Littlefield. Mr.. Moody
was not present, owing to his being out
of town on business. All witnesses
testified that Mr.. Moody was on the
right side of the road and the only
question Is the matter of having no
light in the rear. 1t is the law that all
vehicles carry lights. but many have
had the idea that this does not apply
to hayracks loaded. According to the
officers it applies to all vehicles.
Opinion differs as to the exact cause
of the young officers death, but 1t Is
agreed that his neck was not broken.
The only bruise was over his temple
and that, in the opinion of some. was
causes by his glasses. He struck the
horse in the rear, passing between the
animals legs and throwing him into
the air as high as the top of the load,
according to Mr.. Read. The horse was
led home but died shortly afterward
DR.. Vickery took the evidence into
consideration at the adjournment of
the inquest and rendered the verdict
that Officer Foster came t ohis death
nv external violence caused by coming
in contact with the horse towed at the
back of load of hay owned by Al
Moody.
