had him taken to the jail. According
to the priest, Simpson had no ticket to
the dance and the young woman who
was with him was inside the ball room.

inside, Father Heiser said, setting an
alarm warning the management of in
truders.

youth went to Heiser's office this morn
ing and after an argument produced
the whip and began flashing the priest,

the White bill to grant preference to
the purchasers of Shipping Board Lines
in the award of mail contracts by a
vote of 100 to 81.

ton, had contended that the pur-
chasers of Shipping Board Lines were

ceived favors at the expense Of other
operators, and that the entire Jones'

measure was necessary step in the
general policy of building up an ade-
Quate merchant marine to compete sue
cessfully with foreign companies and
that the Government was morally obli-
gated to assist wherever possible the
companies which took the Shipping
Board lines off its hands.
Representative La Guardia's descrip-
ton of the bill as unfair, unequitable
and sectional" and his suggestion that
it would initiate against New York ship
operators who might wish to bid for
mail contracts on various lines, was
contradicted by Representatives Lehl-
