COOLIDGE GIVES
 SHIPPING ADVICE
Suggests Board Simply Pass
 Upon Final Negotiations

Washington, June Il Rl-Presi- dent Coolidge has suggested to the Shipping Board that it delegate com pletely to the fleet corporation the authority for negotiating sales Of ships and lines. reserving to tself final approval or rejection of the contracts.
 While no action has been taken by the board. indications are that the suggestion will be approved when Chairman O'Connor returns next week from a trip to Florida.
 The board has been sharply d. vided in considering many sales. the most recent case being on June 5,the day the president wrote his letter when 1t rejected proposals for the sale of freight ships and lines in the North Atlantic. In that case one plan was recommended by the fleet corporation and another by the ship sales committee Of the board, The final vote was against both proposals
 In his letter. President Coolidge said he was greatly impressed with the great difficulties" in the nego- tiation of sales contracts,
 IT. have the stror" f'-'ng' ne added, "that such complex negotia- tions cannot be competently carried out by the often independent discusr sions by buyers with the, several members of the Shipping Board"
 Furthermore there is an unwill- ingness on the part of some of our shipping men to enter such an in- volved scene of negotiations.
 "In order that we should make a vigorous attempt to carry out the purpose of the merchants tSmarine act that is the disposal of the mer- chant marine into private hands--on equitable terms, 1t seems to me vital thAt these negotiations should be placed in one single hand, reserving to the shipping board the final voice in the acceptance or rejection of the specific contract,
 q would like 10 suggest to the board that all negotiations of every character for the disposal of ships or lines should rest in the hands of Admiral Palmer (president of the fleet corporatlon) that the members of the board should refuse to see or discuss these questions with any in dividual during the course of such negotiations that Admiral Palmer should be authorized to sign such contracts subject to the approval of the board. The board will then be in position to exercise its proper function in the acceptance or rejec- ton of the contracts.
 'I am convinced that better terms will be secured for the government and more progress made in carrying out the intent, of the act than can be accomplished under the present basis of organization"
 The fleet corporfation now has authority to negotiate sales of indi- vidual ships and even to initiate steps looking 10 sales of lines. Ne gotiations for sale of lines. however, are for the most part conducted by the ship sales committee of the board headed by Commissioner Liss- ner. Whatever sales afe arranged through either the fleet corporation or the ship sales committee arc re-

BOSTON. January 3-Motion pic
ture film being carried in a subway
car today by a 70-year-old passenger
exploded, stampeded the 60 other
passengers and caused injuries to
more than 20 of them.
The flash of the explosion and the
flames that followed burned the hair
from the heads of women, burned the
wrappings off packages and SCARED
hands and faces. There were 10
women in the car. Many persons
were crushed in the stampede to
escape from the car. The explosion
occurred when the car was near the
Park street station. A crowd on the
platform there also developed a
panic and sought to fee, several per-
sons suffering minor injuries.
Frank p. Hardiman, inspector of
the State fire marshal's office, said the
film was being carried by Phineas
Shirley, who was taking it to a
brush works to have it converted into
glue. Hardiman said Shirley told him
1t was scrap film. Shirley was Sc
verely burned.
Indictments for criminal negli-
gence against the Famous Players

Co, manufacturers of brushes, will
be sought by the State fire marshal,
Inspector Hardiman said. The trans
portation of unprotected film in a COM
mon carrier is forbidden by law, he
asserted.
Some 20 of the injured were treated
at relief hospital, but the injuries
of none were serious, it was said.
