MAIL PROBERS
MISINFORMED,
SAYS FRANKLIN
Ship Magnate Insists Firm
Invested Heavily in
u. S. Lines.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-P. A. S.
Franklin, president of the Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine Company
protested today that the senate
ocean mail investigating committee
had not obtained a fair picture" of
his company's foreign and domestic
ship holdings.
He said the impression seems to
have been created" that in 1882 the
I. M. M. had $2o,OOO,OOO invested in
foreign flag tonnage and only
81 500, 900 in American ships. The
figures, he said, were misleading.
The real extent of the 1. M. M. S
interest in the American merchant
marine is set forth in the fact that
it, together with companies own
ing or operating American flag
steamers, has invested approximate
ly $23 100000 in American flag ship
ping" he said.
"As against this the direct finan-
cial interest of the 1. M. M. in for
eign flag tonnage is limited to
$8,600,000. This amount represents
the total which wholly-owned subSi-
diaries CT the I. M. M. have invested
in foreign flag tonnage. 1t is true
that in addition to this the I. M. M.
has on its books $11 1897 800, repre-
Senting an unpaid balance of ques-
tionable value, due on the sale of
the White Star line to the Royal
Mail Steam Packet Company in
1926.
In pursuance of its we'll eStab-
lished policy to develop solely under
the American flag, the I. M. M.
has cancelled by mutual consent all
of its agreements with the British
government. This paves the way
for release from every foreign con-
tact when the company ceases to
be agent for the White Star line
on June 80.
THE thoroughly American char
acter Of the I. M M. and it's aSso-
ciated companies today is shown by
the fact that they either own or
operate thirty-five American flag
ships and only nine ships which fly
foreign flag"
Mr.. Franklin said foreign flag
tonnage owned today consisted of
four cargo ships and five combina-
ton passenger and freight ships, all
under the British flag.

SISTIE AND BUZZIE
JUST A COUPLE OF
CYNICS AT CIRCUS

By United Press
WASHINGTON, May 18.-SiStie
and Buzzie Dali are just couple
of cynics.
Their mother, Mrs. Anna Roose-
welt Dali, and their grandmother,
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, took
them to the circus, but neither of
the children was to be fooled.
Felix Adler, a red-nosed clown,
gave Sistie a picture of himself.
He quoted her as having asked
him how he put his nose on.
"You can't fool me, Big Boy"
Sistie was quoted as saying.
Buzzie was skeptical of the cir
Gus ladies as they rode past the
presidential box, CARRIED in glitter
ing spangles.
Are the ladies real?" he asked.
He was still doubtful after his
mother assured him that they
were.

Katy and 1 will divide the work
amongst us, but all the dignity
will be Mary's and she will do the
honours modestly, gracefully and
prettily, I know.
Of course, Charles is too pub
lie man to take such a step as
this without exciting more than
usual nine days wonderland we
have heard of the most wonderful
rumors and wicked SANDERS which
have been flying about the town
as to the cause of this separation.
To few of our real friends
Charles wishes the truth to be
stated, and they can not show
their friendship better than by
quietly silencing with the real SOL
emn truth any foolish OF wicked
person who may repeat such lies
and SANDERS.
Charles sends you his best love
and to dear Ella his birthday con-
gratulations. You can under
stand how much he has been
harassed and occupied with all
this business and his reading be-
sides, and that he has very little
time to write letters just now.
Give my particular love to Ella
on Wednesday and wish her many
happy returns of the day, and with
our united kind regards to Mr..

My dearest Maria,
Affectionately yours always,
