Wheeler Sees Further
Carrier Regulation
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated freS&.
BOSTON,, Feb. 20. - Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana,
chairman of the Senate Commit
tee on Interstate Commerce, be-
neves further regulation of trans
portation Is inevitable.
He told the Traffic Club of New
England, an organization of trans
portation executives, last night that
he wished additional regulation
were not necessary, but changing
economic conditions" and "increas-
ing concentration of industries into
larger and larger units" called for it.
"The weak must be protected from
the strong" he said. THE great
cannot be permitted to crush the
small. Consultations that would de-
stroy communities must be avoided -
I'VE must remember" he added,
"that railroads were built to render
service to shippers and commune
ties, as well as pay interest and
dividends. That which temporarily
benefits investors at the expense of
labor, shippers and communities is
not true improvement or any So
luton of the railroad problem.
He expressed the belief, however,
that "all competing forms of trans
portation should be equally regu-
lated-or there should be no regula-
ton"
The greatest need of all carriers,
he said, was general revival of
business,

Boat Is Ordered Sold
To Satisfy Penalty

The barkentine Marsha, operated
as training ship by the American
Nautical Academy of this city, has
been ordered sold by the United
States Admiralty Court at Norfolk,
Va, the Federal Communications
Commission announced today.
The sale was ordered, it was said,
to satisfy a $4,000 penalty incurred
when the Marsala cruised outside Of
port without radio transmitter as
required by the Communications
Act.
Yesterday in Norfolk, Judge Luther
B. Way in Federal District Court
imposed the fine of 5000.
The Marsala lost her five masts
in a hurricane of the Virginia
capes in the fall of 1898 and was
towed into Hampton Roads by the
Coast Guard cutter Mendoza.
The only question before the court
was the number of days at
sea, the penalty being $500 for each
such day. Judge Way deducted
the time the Marsala spent cruising
in Long Island and Block Island
Sounds. The complaint against the
vessel was filed by the Federal Com
munications Commission.
