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

WASHINGTON. MAY 19.-P. A. S.
Franklin, president of the Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine Company,
protested yesterday 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. NJ. NJ. had S2O,OOO,OOO invested in
foreign flag tonnage and only
S1,5O0O00 in American ships. The
figures. he said. were misleading.
The real extent of the I. NJ. Ms
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 S23 100000 in American flag ship
ping he said
las against tins the direct f1nan-
cial interest of the I. M. NJ in for
eign flag tonnage is limited to
$4,000 900. This amount represents
the total which wholly Subsi-
diaries of the l. NJ NJ have invested
in foreign flag tonnage 1t is true
that in addition to this the I. NJ. NJ.
has on its books S11.387 800 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 / NJ. 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 30.
The thoroughly American char
acter of the I. M. M. and its 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
a 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.

Laws Desired Outlined
After Discussion of
139 Subjects.
BY WILLIAM F. COLLINS
Times Special Writer

There are a number of antique
laws on our statute books relating
to fish and game. A large number
Of Indiana spOrtsmen have COM
planned about the inadequacy of
the old laws tc meet modern condi-
lions Up to the moment it has been
my experience in trying to get re-
vision of these laws through the leg
islature that conservation subjects
were the last order of business and
the most carefully thought out
bills we're keyholed. pigeonholed,
pOcketed or tabled or done some
thing to that politicians know
about when they are not interested.
Then for two more years we strug-
gle along with inadequate remedies
looking pleasant and waiting for the
next session always hoping and sell
dom accomplishing.
There promises to be a different
outcome when the next legislature
meets. Eighteen men, representing
eighteen different divisions of Indi-
ana, each man the spokesman of
the SportSmen's clubs from his di-
vision met in Turkey Run park and
after the longest legislative session
I ever sat in, worked out a program
for the state, after discussion of 139
different subjects, all pertaining to
present fish and game laws.
Out of this weller of information
there doubtless will develop new
code of legal rules for the Indiana
conservation department.
1t is not possible to go deeply into
the subject in the short space of this
column. I will endeavor to briefly
outline some of the more important
aspects Of the future laws, if not
completely in this article, then in
some future one.
In the order of their Importance,
it strikes me that a law giving the

bass slaughter shown in the picture
for the last three years, can vouch
for the fact these forty-nine bass
are but a 1.-THE Of the game fish
taken yearly in Indiana streams by
pitchforkers. That is where your
sport goes, you law abiding fisher
man. You pay your money to take
a fishing outing and find that the
man who never sleeps has been
there ahead of you with dynamite,
nets, pitchforks and other whole
sale fish killing devices. Then you
return home and "cusS" the state for
charging you 81 to fish, but gives
you no fish.
We will have better control over
the bait seller who bootlegs young
game fish for minnows. Nets will
be licensed in about the same man
ner as the present Michigan law.
1t has proved as impossible to keep
nets out of personal possession as
to prohibit whisky. When you
can't lick the situation, join it by
giving the owner Of a net a license
to use it under local club regulation
and keep the nets in the county
clerks office. We have done the
same thing after a fashion with
liquor.
Dynamiting will draw a heavier
penalty and some other gross viola
tions of the fish and game laws will
be dealt with more rigidly. Spading
up the weed beds in our rivers for
muSSel taking will be taboo except
under game wardens' supervision.
Wider latitude will be given
authorized game and fish clubs to
take predatory fish, to raise and
sell fish or game to the state for
propagating purposes, and there
will be a law to prohibit the sale of
black bass no matter where they
were caught.
Indiana is one of the three states
now permitting that.
The legislature will know that In
diana sportsmen want these things,
there are more than 10000 of them
tied into club units and when 49,
600 men speak even the statehouse
dome leans over to listen.

LOVE LETTERS OF DICKENS
Too An1aSing InterIudes i'm Great Artist S Life

hardly imagine how powerleSs I
am in any such case. My own
work in life being of that kind
that I must always do it with my
own unasSiSted hand and head,
I have such rare opportunities of
placing any one, that for years
and years I have been seeking in
vain to help in this way a friend
of the old days when the old house
stood unchanged in Lombard
street. To this hour I have not
succeeded, though I have strenu-
ously tried my hardest, both
abroad and at home. Commercial
opportunities, above all, are so far
removed from me, that I dare not
encourage a hope of my power to
serve Mr.. Winter with my good
word, ever coming within years
journey of my will and wish to
do it.
But I really think that your
father, who could do much in
such a case without drawing at
all heavily upon his purse, might
be induced to do what may say
to you Maria-it is no great
stretch of sentiment to call his
duty. Has not Margaret great in
f1uence with him? Have not you
some? And don't you think that
if you were to set yourself stead
lily to exert whatever influence
you can bring to bear upon him,
you would do the best within your
reach for your husband, your
child, and yourself? Is it not all
important that you should try
your utmost with him, at this
time?
Forgive my recommending this,
if you have so anticipated the
recommendation as to have done
all that possibly can be done to
move him. BUC what you tell me
about George seems so strange,
so hard, and so i'll balanced, that
I can not avoid the subject.
I write in the greatest haste,
being overwhelmed by business
here. On Monday hope to be at
Gad's Hill. and to remain either
there or at Tavistock House for
months to come. I enclose a few
lines to Mr.. Winter, and am
ever,
Your faithful friend,
CHARLES DICKENS.

Il nell be asked to aid the hus-
band-who was perhaps one of
the preferred suitors of the days

the hint that he hoped to see her
in London.
Gad's Hill Place,
Higham by Rochester, Kent,
Monday, Sixteenth August, 1858.
My Dear Mrs Winter:
1 have read poor dear Anne'S
prayer with great sorrow, and with
many emotions of sadly affection
ate remembrance. 1t was written,
no doubt, under a presentiment of
Death but it must always be re-
membered that such a PRESENT.
ment often exists when it fails to
be fulfilled; and it is very COM
monty engendered in the state of
mind belonging to the condition in
which she composed the prayer.
1t would give me great pleasure
to see you at Liverpool, if I had
the least confidence in my own
freedom for a moment under the
circumstances which will take me
there. But I have so much bust
ness to transact at times, and have
to keep myself so quiet at other
times, and have SO many people
to give directions to, and make ar
rangementS with -four travel with
me- that I see no one while I am
on this Tour, and have to be al
ways grimly Self-denying and he
roic. So 1 shall hope to see you
in London, at some time when I
am in less virtuous, and less hur-
ried and worried condition.
With my love to Ella, and kind
est regard to Mr.. Winter,
Ever affectionately yours,
CHARLES DICKENS.
CHE must have got a sensa-
~ tional thrill, if only for a mo-
ment. out of his facetiouS remark
about hoping to see her in Lon
don when he was in a less vir-
tuouS condition; but there is no
record. so far as she is concerned
that he ever relaxed from his de-
termined self denial.
There was another meeting or
two, perhaps-meetings that held
little for her, seeing that the
cause was hopeless. With only her
garland of fading memories she
could not compete with the
younger and more engaging beau
ties of society and the stage for
such moments as he could spare
from his work.
A few months later she was
over-taken by another calamity,
and no longer able to claim his
love, she was forced to appeal to
his charity. Her husband had
failed in business and she turned
to her old sweetheart to ask if he
could with word. help them out
of their difficulties.
IF it Inundated her to ask that
l. aid. it must have chagrined
her even more to receive the fol-
lowing letter of sympathy and
sound advice in return:
Brighton,
Saturday. November 18th, 1858.
Ny dear Mrs. Winter:
I have been so constantly and
rapidly changing from place to
place during the past week, that I
am only just now in receipt of the
intelligence of your misfortune.
With the utmost sincerity and
earnestneSS of which my heart is
capable, I condole with you upon
it. and assure you of my true SYM
pathy and friendship. It has dis
tressed me greatly Not because
I am so worldly or so unjust as TO
couple the least reproach or
blame with a reverse that DO not
doubt to have been unavoidable.
and that I know to be always
easily possible of occurrence to
the best and most fortunate Of
men. but because I know you feel
it heavily.
I wish to Heaven it were in my
power to help Mr.. Winter to any
new opening in life. But you can

Sunday Sermon
POINTED truth
TOLD IN STORY
OF TEN VIRGINS
Jesus Used Parable to
Show Price ExaCted by
FooIiShneSS.
Text: Matt. 24:1 to $3.50.
BY VIM. E. GILROY, D. D.
Editor of Advance

Among the effective illustrations
of the kingdom of heaven none was
more vivid or striking than that of
the ten virgins with the ten lamps,
going forth to meet the bridegroom.
The lamps were of no use with
out oil and it might have been sup
posed that oil would be the first
consideration, but let any reader
who has ever been stalled on the
highway with an auto out of gas
cast a stone at the foolish virgins.
The virgins were fair types Of or
binary persons and it was not re-
markable that one-half Of them
we're SO slack as to go forth with
their lambs without oil. So it was
that, as the bridegroom was late,
they had fallen asleep.
When they were aroused to meet
him, the five wise virgins lighted
their lamps and went forth, but the
foolish virgins were put to shame,
for their lamps had gone out and
there was no time for them to go
and buy more oil, though they went
to seek it. The bridegroom came
while they we're gone, and the door
was shut.
Pointed to FOOlishneSs
Of course, the story is constructed
to point the moral that Jesus in
tended: namely, that persons are
just as foolish concerning the
greater things of life as they are
about the lesser things, and the
foolish are shut out just as relent-
lessly from the high sources of grace
and truth, if they neglect their OPP
portunity, as we're these foolish viz
gins.
The teaching of this lesson is
worth considering in a rather slack
age. We do not today make quite
so much of either heaven or hell as
did a former generation.
We go on for the most part with
out that terrible sense of destiny
that has affected persons so deeply
in the past, but the solemn truths
of Scripture are just as solemn as
they ever were.
Lesser Sins Ruin Lives
We see men and women make
rack and ruin of life, not always
through sinfulnesS, but often
through foolishness. It is not
downright evil that alone defeats
mans life, but his lesser sins and
shortcomings as well.
Il have played the fool" was
King Sauls candid confession when
he had made a mess of his life.
That was life of tragedy, stark
and terrible, ending with suicide on
battlefield of defeat the career of
a man, splendid in physique and
endowment, who had been called
to high responsibility under the
most favorable circumstance.
Tragedy begun in folly-that
was Saul's history. And tragedy
may enter our lives through folly.
Be watchful, be we'll prepared and
provided; leave nothing to chance,
but bring all of life under the dom
nance of its highest opportunity
and destiny-that is the lesson of
the parable of the wise and foolish
virgins
