Shipping Board
Split on Sale
Of 30 Liners
Vice-Chairman Stevens Tells
. Senators That True Value
of Former German Ships
Is Not Definitely Known
All Bids Are Rejected
Payne Insists That Recondi-*,
tioning of Vessels Would!
Cost Over $75,000,000
Washington, Feb. is.?conflicting
?pinion? as to the advisability of the
imm?diate sale of the thirty former
German pasenger liners recently of
fer-ed by the Shipping Board were pre?
sented to the Senate Commerce Com?
mittee to-day by members of the board.
Chairman Payne told the committee
'1 that the reconditioning of the vessels
f! for passenger service would involve an
[I expenditure of more than $76,000,000,
[j and offered a resolution, approved by
three of the four members of the board,
requesting authority to put the ships
on the market. All bids recently re?
ceived for the purchase of the liners
have been rejected, he stated.
Vice Chairman Stevens of the board,
on the other hand, declared that the
vessels should not be sold at this time,
as their true valuation never has been
worked out. He urged that the vessels
be reconditioned before their Bale.
Estimates of the value of the vessels
received by the board, he said, had
been made with a depreciation charge
of 6 per cent, while only 2V> per cent
should be thus charged off. He placed
the value of the fleet at nearly
$75,000,000.
Opposing the immediate sale of the
liners because of the uncertainty as
to their valuation, Mr. Stevens said the
fublic was entitled to know whether
he fleet was being offered at fair
prices. More than money was involved,
he added, and the transfer of the ships
should not be made until it was known
that the best Interests of the govern
. ment were being served.
The advantage accruing from the sale
of the craft as they stand, Chairman
Payne said, lies in the saving of the
estimated cost of the repairs, together
with the uncertainty as to conditions
in which the shipping would be after
the six months or more necessary for
the repairs.
He added that government ships were
net operated by the board, but by the
shipping companies to whom they are
allocated, the profits and losses being
| shared by the two.
If the board reconditions the vessels
I and retains them, it still must depend
I for their operation upon the companies
| which have been bidding for them, the
I chairman said, while the government
I not only would have to stand the ex?
pense of reconditioning them, but also
I any loss incurred in their operation.
Commissioner Stevens will be heard
1 again by the committee to-morrow.
I Chairman Jones stating that in view
I of the rejection of the bids by the
board the question of the sale did not
call for immediate action by the com?
mittee.
Bailey To Be Candidate
For Governor of Texas
I Former Senator Opposes "Reg
tdar" Democrats and Assails
National Policies
GAINESVILLE, Tex., Feb. 18.?For?
mer Senator Joseph W. Bailey to-day
formally announced his candidacy for
the gubernatorial nominafio" ii on
W" ? ,',.-- rrr- . ? .:
position to'what have been termed
"regular Democrats."
Mr. Bailey, in his announcement ad?
dress, excoriated "progressive Demo?
crats" and the national Administration,
branded the Federal prohibition and
woman suffrage amendments invasions
of state's rights and expressed oppo?
sition to the league of nations.
"There are three fundamental and ;
insuMrable objections to the league of
nations," the former Senator said. |
"The first is that It surrenders a part
of our sovereignty into the keeping of
a European council; the second is that
it will involve us so long as it exists
in European complications, and the
third is that it obligates the United
States to furnish soldiers for wars in
which we might not have the remotest
.merest."

Wood Boom Is Growing,
Col. Procter Declares
"It's a Cinch," He Says After
Recounting Outlook in j
the Various Statesj
Colonel William C. Procter, chairman ;
of the Leonard Wood campaign commit- I
tee, yesterday nt the Eastern headquar- i
ters, in the Imperial Hotel, said the
setback caused by the retirement of
John T. King from the Wood forces
had been more than made up.
"Are you backing a winner in Gen?
eral Wood?" he was asked.
"It's a cinch," said he. "We are or?
ganized in Washington, Oregon, Idaho,
Arizona, Nevada, Nebraska, Minnesota,
both of the Dakotas and in Indiana,
not to mention our organization work
in the Eastern and Middle States. In?
diana is in fine shape. We are putting
in some good work in Ohio and fully
expect to get some delegates there."
Colonel Procter said he heartily in?
dorsed the plan of Chairman Hays of
the national committee to limit cam?
paign subscriptions to $1,000, and he
added that in one state the national
committee had 50,000 solicitors at work.
He said that on account of the advice |
of the Republican state convention of
North Dakota to sidestep that state j
because of the Nonpartisan League con?
trol there, it was doubtful about the
Wood men trying to do much there.

worry about tho people. We will take |
care of the people."
"Well, ? do worry about the people," i
said the witness.
, "No, don't worry about the people," I
continued the Mayor. "We will take
care of the people. That Is what wo
are here for. That is what they elected
us for, and that is what they expect
us to do for the balance, of our term."
"Well, then, Mr. Mayor, you will take
care of them a great deal better if you
give us enough money to get alone with
and don't let us go broke," Mr. Hedley
satd.
"If you don't mako enough money to j
suit the stockholders and bondholders
and yourself will you turn back the
subways to the people and let the city
run them?" asked the Mayor.
"You mean me personally?" querlea
the witness, with a smile.
"No; will you advise the directors,
as president, to do it?" asked tho
Mayor.
"A Gold Mine," Says Hylan
"No," Mr. Hedley answered; "I shall
advise the directors to hold on to the
very last ditch, and not let you have
it until you take it away from us, and
I don't think you can take it away
from us."
"It is a gold mine, and you want to
keep it," said the Mayor.
"No; that is not so," said the wit- i
ness.
"When you made the 187 per cent
dividends, of which you have some
portion yourself, you did not offer to
return anything to the people then, did
you?" asked the Mayor.
"No. That is not tho custom of divi- i
df nd collectors," said Mr. Hedley. j
"They keep it all."
Corporation Counsel Burr declnred j
that it appeared the witness wanted to i
keep the original contract, with only I
one modification, that of an eight-cent
fare instead of the five-cent fare. Mr. j
Hedley admitted that was the only i
change he wanted, but in reply to ques
tions later said that the company ofR- j
ciuls would be very glad to "discuss" !
other modifications of the contract.
Major La Guardia, President of the
Board of Aldermen, opened his bat- !
teries on the witness at this point and
bitterly condemned the board of direc- j
tbis of the Interborough during the j
course of a lengthy examination of the'
Interborough president. The Mnyor
and Comptroller took a good deal of
satisfaction in the way the nldermanic
president went after the witness, smil?
ing and nodding approvingly.
Major La Guardia contrasted the
bankrupt condition of the Interborough I
with the affluent condition of its indi- j
vidual directors, and wanted to know
if Mr. Hedley thought the directors
had exercised the same prudence, care, |
intel.igence and foresight in the affairs |
of the company as they had in their
own businesses. Major La Guardia i
mentioned August Belmont, Messrs. I
Berwind, Fxeedman?"who died worth
several millions"?Pepperman and j
other directors.
"The fact that they are not in?
solvent, and that wc know they are
enormously wealthy, would not that in?
dicate that they were more prudent and |
careful with their own financial affairs j
than they were with the affairs of the
company, in looking after the widows
and orphan? who hold the bonds?" ?
asked Major La Guardia.
"Well, they may have erred in their
judgment in this particular case," said
Mr. Hedley, "but I assume they were
like other men, they did not put all of
their eggs in one basket, and that they
have their fortunes distributed in such
a way that they might make a mistake
is one company and that it would not
ruin them."
Major La Guardia wanted to know if j
the witness was making any effort to
change the board of directors, and if
he *did not think it would be a whole- |
romo and reassuring change to tho |
The value of
L. B. filing service?
A Library Bureau representative recently sold the L. B.
Automatic index filing system to a l-trge woolen mill.
The service he rendered in connection with the sale is
typical of the service that every L. B. representative is
equipped to give.
The sale included more than folders and guides?more
than so much inanimate wood and steel. It included filing
service of a superior kind. And this meant, first?an Intel?
ligent analysis of individual requirements.
Only through such an analysis could the L. B. representa?
tive have sold this woolen mill a complete, workable, up
to-the-minute, modern system for taking care of their general
correspondence, bills of lading, contracts, freight bills, paid
invoices, etc.
We cannot tell at long range what improvements may be
possible in your filing methods. But if you have filing
problems which you believe can be smoothed out, it costs
you nothing but a letter or a telephone call to draw upon
our experience of 44 years in this one particular field*

said he had observed nothing that
would make him believe that any radi-,
cnl change should be made in tho
hoard of directors.
"Mr. Hedley, we have the duty now, |
if there has been any mismanagement I
of the funds of the investing public," '
said Major La Guardia, "that these men
who did that should bo held up to the
scorn of their fellow citizens, so that
their shameful acts may be known to
their fellow men and that no other men
will dare to disregard their plain duty
in such circumstances. Do you not
think it is our duty to see that that Is
done, if that hns bien the case?"
The witness answered in the affirma?
tive.
"All right; will you start out now |
and try to olean out your board of di- |
rectors and get men who will work for
the interest of tho company, the city
and the stockholders?" asked the At
dermanic President.
"I think the men that I have got
there now, so far as I know, are work?
ing to the interests of the company
and the stockholders, every one of
them," said Mr. Hedley.
Mayor Hylan showed some surprise
toward the lose of the hearing when
the Interborough president testified ;
that he seldom rode to or from his |
home in Yonkers to business in an j
automobile -probably not more than,
once a month, he said. !

"How do you get way up there?"
asked the Mayor. '
"I get up there by tho Broadway sub?
way,"' said Mr. Hedley, "getting in here
at Cortlandt Street and going to Cham?
bers Street and changing cars and
standing from there to luist Street, and
then sometimes I get a seat, and then
come downstairs and have myclothea
almost torn off getting on a trolley,
car, if I do not walk a mile and a
half." ?
"With all your troubles you-ride to |
Yonkers in the trolle cars and the
subways. That is remarkable," com- ?

Siberian Army \
Gen, March Testifies That
President Wilson, How* \
ever, Ignored Advice
WASHINGTON. Feb. 18.?American
troops were sent into Russia and Si?
beria by President Wilson against the
advice of General Tasker H. Bliss,
while the general was a member of the
Allied Supremo War Council, General
Peyton C. March, chief of staff, testi- i
fied to-day before a House committee
investigating medal awards.
"I don't suppose, however, that the '
President would disregard a strictly
military proposal from General Bliss,"
General March added.
Promotion of officers by selection
was urged by the chief of staff, who
said the system of promotion by senior?
ity usually placed inefficient officers in j
high positions.
Asked concerning the award to Major '
General Biddle of the distinguished
service medal, General March said it
was "in recognition of his tact and
ability in handling American troops in
England," and not for his services as
acting chief of staff.
"He was called General Biddle in
England," remarked Representative
Bland, Republican, of Indiana.
Family Sleeps in Armory ;
Barred by Landlords
Man Fails to Find Place in the
City Where Children
Are Welcome
Sidney Fischtman, hi.*' wife and five
children slept last night at the 22d
Regiment Armory, Broadway and 168th
Street, because they could r^t find a
? landlord in New York who would rent
. them a home. It was the third night
I they had been driven to find shelter
I1 at the armory since they were put out
of their apartment at 646 West 146th
Street.
They were ejected because the owner
j of the premises thought five children
) were too many. They had fifty days'
j notice and in all that time, Fischtman
' said, he. had not been able to find a
, house-owner in New York who had an
; apartment to let who did not share the
| prejudice of his former landlord.
"There's no one in New York who
' can take a family with five children
j who will," said Fischtman. "In Bos?
ton, before we came to New York, I
! owned my own home and 1 had no idea
: I would meet the trouble I did here.
Children actually make a tenant un?
desirable in this city. I have $700;
? money is no object to me, but I've tried
? agencies, boarding houses, hotels and
i apartment houses, and I can't find a
! roof I can call my own to shelter my
wife and children."
Fischtman is a private detective and
was employed by the Burns agency in
? Boston. After he had carried a $apor
I bag supper into tho armory last night
? he and his family slept on cots in the
; women's reception room. The children
j are Millard, eleven years old: Adrian,
j nine; Audrey, five; Clayton, three, and
I Robert, eighteen months old. The two
j elder children go to Public School 89.

Allies Fear "Reds"
May Triumph in
Southern Russia
Internal Disorder Favors Bol?
shevik Campaign; Typhus
Rages at Sebastopol and
Idle Ships Block Harbor
CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 18 (By The
Associated Press). ?The situation in
southern Russia is so uncertain that
Allied officials are fearful of a general
Bolshevik triumph, more, however, from
internal dissention than from the en?
trance of "Red" forces from the out?
side.
General Schilling is now at Sebasto?
pol, the great Russian seaport in the
Crimea, commanding tho volunteer
forces which hold the Crimean isthmus.
The surrounding lagoons are frozen
hard, however, and it*is feared the Bol
sheviki may aproach on the ice.
Sebastppol harbor is cluttered with
useless shipping. Ten thousand persons
of the city are registered as wanting to
get away, while 11,000 more are on
ships from Odessa, without adequate
food or medicine. Typhus is raging
among the refugees.
The American destroyer Tattnall, tho
British battlship Marlborough and
French and Greek destroyers are at
Sebastopol, but it is impossible to evac?
uate the population, as the commanders
of the warships apparently lack author?
ity for such action from their various
governments. Also, there are no ports
available where such a large number of
refugees can be received.
LONDON, Feb. 18? Fierce fighting
between the Bolsheviki and separate
enemy groups in the Tiraspol and
Odessa regions is reported in an of?
ficial statement issued by the Soviet
government at Moscow to-day. The
statement continues:
"We have entered Ovidiopol (on the
Black* Sea, southeast of Odessa). We
have evacuated Pogaevskaya, twenty
versts from Novocherkassk, under
enemy pressure.
"In the direction of Krasnovodsk we
have captured the Island of Cheleken.
The oil wells were found undamaged.
Much booty was captured.
Another Bolsheviki statement says a
rising of th?j local population has se?
cured at Chetchenia, Turkestan, the
white forces being defeated.
The insurgent leader Uzumhadji has
taken the title of Emir and proclaimed
the independor.ee of Chetchenia, the
statement adds.
The name Chetchenia does not, ap?
pear on maps of Turkestan. There is.
however, a region called Tchetchen, on
the northern Daghestan border.
Letts to Institute Peace
Negotiations With Soviet
LONDON, Feb. 18. ? The Lettonian

peace negotiations with Soviet Russia
in conjunction with the other border
states.
WARSAW, Feb. 18 (By The As?
sociated Press).-?The agreement be?
tween Lettonia and Poland to fight
Bolshevism is still in effect, according
to the Polish Foreign Office, which yes?
terday denied reports that tho Letto
nians had opened peace negotiations
with the Soviet government at Moscow.
It was declared that Lettonia had
made an agreement with the other Bal?
tic States and with Poland to notify
them if negotiations with the Bolshe?
viki were contemplated.
COPENHAGEN, Feb. 18.?A Helsing
fors, Finland, dispatch says it is re?
ported that secret peace negotiations
between Soviet Russia and Lithuania
are in progress. Lithuania ?3 declared
to be anxious to conclude a peace be?
fore Poland accepts the Soviet, govern?
ment's peace terms, lest Vilna become
Polish instead of Lithuanian. The dis?
patch adds that a pence with Lithuania
would mean a transit, corridor to Ger?
many for Russia.
