 After Ross was repriovcd by the governor about two weeks ago he was taken before the Nassau county grand jury to tell his story about the bank robbery.

SHIPPING BOARD
 AGAIN IS ACCUSED
This Time With "JObbing"
 Other Bidders

Washington, Feb, Ii Pp-A charge that the shipping board "jobbcd" other bidders so that the Ford Mo- tor company would purchase 900 ships, was made today before the senate commerce committee by L. E. Miller q Baltimore attorney.
 Appearing for the Boston Iron and Metal company of Baltimore which bid on the ships, Miller de- clarcd it was Contemplated at the start that the Ford Motor company should be the successful bidder" all though when bids were first opened no tender from that company was received.
 A senate investigation of the sale, which is proposed in q resolution by Senator Bruce, democrat. Maryland, was urged by Mr. Miller, who in sisted that the board in making inc sale 10 the Ford company had "act- cd in direct violation of the mcr- chant marine act"
 Miller agreed with Chairman Jones that the records Of the ship ping board would disclose the facts and these will he obtained by the committee before it acts on the resolution.
 The attorney reviewed the suc- Ccssive stages of the negotiations on
  the sale of the ships to the Ford company for SlI0G,h ,hoo. asserting the Ford company refused to sign the first contract of sale because of the absolute requirement" that the ships bo scrappcd. After extended negotiations new contract was drawn mp and signed on Oct l3, 1925, under which he said the Ford company could operate the ships upon q payment Of $5I4oo addi- tional for each ship Of a certain typ" and S1G,47O additional for each ship of tho second type in the lots Of two hundred.
 "Thn vice of this whole situation was that there was no competitive h;dding," Miller S%id. "NeGota- tions were carried on with tho Ford company and of course it olt%iucd much better terms than could the other bidders who were not made parties to any rEotiationS.'

GOOD WILL

Mr.. Ivan M. Wood will succeed Mr
George II. Merriam as Principal OF
the Good Will High school. Mr..
Merriam held the position 10 years
and resigned at the end of the spring
term in order to take post-gradu-
ate course at Clark University. Mr.
Wood was a Good Will boy and is
graduate of the Good Will High
school. Through his high school
course he stood for the best things;
he was a good scholar, active IN
Y. NJ. c. A, member of the base
ball team, and prompt to respond to
the social life at Good VIII. At the
University of Maine he made a good
record, and was specially active In
debating. He graduated from Good
VIII in 1921 and from the University
in 1926. The intervening year he
devoted to teaching. 1t is believed
that he is specially qualified for the
principalship at Good VIII.
Two fine additions have just been
made to the Bates Museum at Good
VIII. One of these is a buck deer
and the other a cow moose. Both
have been mounted for the museum
by Garris Of Portland. The moose
was in the mire at Flagstaff, Maine,
about a year ago, and great effort
was made to rescue her. The rescue
was successfully made but the crea-
ture died from exhaustion. These
specimens add much to the value of
the museum but a bull moose and a
doe are now needed to complete the
exhibit.
Miss Faith ]. Hinckley returned
Monday, from Darien, Conn, where
she went to attend a Good VIII pic
