HANEY TO RETIRE
FROM SHIP BOARD
One Other Member Also Ex-
peCted to Leave-Differ-
enceS Over Policy.

Resignation of one or more mem
bers 70 the Shipping Board is expect
ed to result from the recent contro-
versy over separation of the board
and the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton. and the suggestion even has
been made that some of the func-
tions of the board may eventually be
transferred to the Commerce De-
partment
Strong indications were given yester-
day that Commissioner Haney, appointed
from Oregon, soon would submit his
resignation. Mr.. Haney is said by
his friends to have been dissatisfied
with recent developments in connec-
tion with board affairs growing out
of efforts to put into operation a
plan for separation from the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation.
Another May step Out.
In addition to Mr. Haney, those in
close touch with hte situation have
predicted that at least one other
member would relinquish his post in
the not distant future.
The row over separation has been
in progress for several months. Pres
ident Coolidge recommended that the
cember 23 last the board adopted a
resolution. by vote of to 1, giving
the fleet corporation a free hand in
handling the ships. but leaving the
Shipping Board with the duty of de-
termining trade routes to be served
Commissioner Haney cast the dissent
ing vote.
At the time President Palmer. of
the Fleet Corporation declared that
although the resolution might have
the effect of carrying out Mr.. Cool
idge's wishes, only complete separa-
tion by law would ultimately prove
workable.
Bill VIII Be Prepared.
Chairman Jones of the Senate COM
merce committee. who is soon to go
to South America to study shipping
problems, Is expected at the next ses-
sion of Congress to introduce legis-
lation covering that phase of the SUBJ
ject.
The suggestion that at least some of
the functions of the board might be
transferred to the Commerce Depart
ment, has come more strongly to the
front recently following the Presi-
dents order transferring the Pension
Bureau to the Commerce Department
Those interested in such a move are
studying the laws on the subject with
a view to determining exactly what
steps would be necessary.
Haney VIII Not Talk.
Commissioner Haney declined to com
ment on his future course, but said he
did not contemplate resigning at this
time. 1t was pointed out, however,
however, that the same purpose would
be served by the commissioner de-
n ant
when his term nominally expires in
June. NJ
Such action, or failure of the Presi-
dent to offer a reappointment, would
serve to separate the commissioner
from his duties, and the same course
might be followed in the case of any
other commissioner.

Police Believe 2-Year-OId Girl
Had Been Playing With
Matches

Fire that ignited the bedclothes
of her crib fatally burned little two
year-old Luella Chatfield last night
at 629 E street northwest. Mrs.
Eva Chatfield, the child's mother.
who was in the next room, hurried
in when she heard the baby's
screams of agony and found the
crib enclosed with flames.
The terrified mother rushed her
to Emergency Hospital, but too late.
Scared on nearly every inch of its
little body, the baby died within an
hour.
During the hour at the hospital,
the girl was barely conscious. Her
only request, addressed to the
physician, was "Give me a drink
Luella's father. a law student,
was in class when the tragedy took
place. The mother, thinking her
baby was asleep, was in another
room. A box Of matches found
near the crib after the blaze had
been extinguished led firemen to
believe that the child had been
playing with them and set fire to
the bed clothing.
Damage from the fire was es-
timated at about $50.
