Stafford, deputy district at torney, will be called before the Los Angeles county grand Jury next Mon day, when the investigation of alleged "crookedness" in Pacific Coast league baseball , games in 1919 will be re sumed. The extension of the inquiry, after It had been reported that the grand Jury had completed its questioning of witnesses, was understood to be part ly the result of the second appear ance before that body of W. Baker ("Babe") Borton, ex-Vernon player, whose charges precipitated the inves tigation and partly the result of work done by the grand jury outside of its chambers. It was reported today that among the witnesses likely to be called Mon day and whose names were not made public, as no subpoenaes had been is sued, was at least one official of thi league, although Mr. Stafford would liot discuss the matter. He stated he could not predict when the Inquiry would be concluded nor when the grand jury would make a report. "It might make a report next Mon day." he said, "but I hardly think so."

Charges Held Too Hign. NEW YORK, Nov. 17. A series of startling disclosures tending to sup port what ha declared to be a "com plete lack Of adequate accounting systems in the handling of govern ment funds" were made here today by Martin J. Glllen, a witness before the Walsh congressional committee ln- estigating the affairs of the United States shipping board. Gillen was a Bpecial assistant to John Barton Payne, ex-chairman. The name of President-elect Hara- ng was brought into the record when Gillen said he had Informed Senator Harding that It was the duty. of con gress to see that only big men, cap able of handling affairs entrusted to them, be appointed to all depart ments. H. said app.intments should e confirmed by the senate only when It is determined that the men named are capable and efficient. Accounting I. Blamed. It has been conceded," he said. that but few men connected with the mergancy fleet corporation had an expert knowledge ot accounting. nd be also said that it was due to a ompleta breakdown of the account- ng system that the board had its main trouble. Figures used today by tha witness ran into billions of dol lar.. He testified that one of the first acts of Chairman Payne when he dis-. covered the condition of affairs was to go to the secretary of the treasury and obtain from him th. services of Alonzo Tweedale. whom ha made reasur.r of the board. This was done about August 1, 1919, and ha testified that among other conditions disclosed by the new treasurer were the fol lowing: There was no balanc. sheet ehow- ng what funds the board possessed or what banks Its funds were de posited. f ecurltle. Nat Listed. There1 was no record In the hands ef the board showing securities val ued at more than (240,000,000 which the board held. The securities, he added were found in the vault of trust company in Philadelphia where they had been placed for safekeeping. There was no record showing in detail how (2,500,000 had been ex pended up to that time. There was no record of accounting with operators of shipping board ves sels, nor no way of determining how much money belonging to the govern ment they had In their possession. Prior to the advent of Tweedale, he said, the treasurer of th. board was only "an Issuer of checks," oft- times without supporting claim vouchers. On November 1 of this year, the witness said, of I3.S00.000.000 ex pended there had been submitted to the treasurer vouchers to cover only 13.700,000,000. Vouchers representing disbursements of (900.000,000 had been "excepted to" by the treasurer because of lack of sufficient support Ing data and there was yet to be presented vouchers amounting to (1,100,000,000. Accounts Slowly Traced. Vouchers and data to make possible the accounting so far obtained, he testified, have been obtained by going out into th. field, starting with bank accounts of. various firnrs and persons witn wnom tne board and the emer gency neet corporation had transac tions and tracing the accounts back to the board. In this work, he said, a force ef 900 men had been engaged. In summing up his evidence. Gillen said the shipping board had gone out and obtained the best possible men to ntndie its ship construction and in operating divisions, but it had failed to get a man big enough to establish ana carry out a department of effl cient accounting. He made It plain that he had found no evidence of dishonesty on the part of any official of the board that they had done their very best but the energies of the board had been concentrated on getting ships and getting them into operation. He also said comptrollers of the board and the emergency neet corporation operated virtually independently of the treas urer of the shipping board. Warrant. Sttll Coming In. He further aald an order of ton gress of July 1, 191, for an account ing of board funds to the national comptroller had not been complied with when Mr. Tweedale took charge. because of bad condition of the ac counts. Warrants for money issued during a period of two years are still being picked up all over the United States, the witness added. He further saia mac snout xi.ouo.0U0.O00 in nav roll vouchers are yet to come through to ciose up accounts. Testifying as to the securities found in the vaults of a Philadelphia trust company, he said they were intact and had been well taken care of, but he did not know wlyr they were not in me possession or tne treasurer. 'ine securities, including liberty bonds, he- said, represented in Dart guarantees of shipping contractors for ittitniui periormance ot their work. Large Profit. Reported. The witness also testified owners or ships commandeered by the gov ernment In 1917 were allowed to make profits far in excess of what this country permitted in Its other indus tries. H. said ships, regardless of tneir age and natural depreciation were'taKen on a basic contract of rental value oi 14.15 a deadweight ton, An allowance tor profit, interest on Investment, allowance of depreciation based on the war-time earning value ratner man on actual value, and other items made it possible for the owners to make on the contract as high as 61 per cent. He said ships 30 years old made this profit for their owners. Compared with what Great Britain allowed its shipowners on com mandeered vessels and basine tha computation at (4.66 to the pound sterling, ne saicu 11 was shown that American owners received from 230 to 275 per cent more than did the British owners and the British fig ures continued after the UnitedStates had entered the war. These rates. he added, were fixed by the shipping board as it then existed. - Testifying as to enormous profits earned by ships under war-time con ditions the witness said he knew of one ship bought by a New Tork firm for (200.000 on which alterations cost ing (475.000 were made and which earned in six months over (600,000. "This ship was then sunk by a sub marine," Gillen added. Credit Given Cotton. Testifying as to taking over con tracts of ships built in American yariis. Qualify afl it was due to the - craftsma The precaution of an ex-former general attorney of the board, Joseph Cotton, that the United States was not forced to pay millions In conseg.uential damage claims." He recited an in stance of where the board purchased from the BritlBh government, repre sented by the Cunard line, contracts for ships under construction amount ing to 94, 000,000. On this account, he said, the Cunard line had advanced (3,700,000 and an attempt was made by the contractor to except this pay ment when he settled with the ship nir.ir board. He cited the case of William S. Jeb son, a Norwegian, who had a vessel on the ways in San Francisco." The original contract price was (1,035,000 and Jebson. through agents in Nor way, had paid the builder only (62.000. Government officials, he added. turned over (2.045,000 for Jebson s outlay, and then spent (317,000 to fin ish the vesseL The witness also testified that un der the present valuation of tonnage it was impossible ror tnia country to operate an efficient merchant marine. He said tha pries should be cut to (125 a deadweight ton and by establishing a fair value for tonnage there would be created a sound investment market for shipping organizations.

' "American people fail to realize that they have amortized more than (2.000.000,000 of , the value ot these ship, built as a war emergency, when a bridge -of ship, was demanded." he asserted. "A loss must be accepted, due to emergency under which tn.y were built, the same as it is for un used powder." The market for ship, today is not what it was last December, be added, due to economic conditions. At that time if they could have been sold for a fair price between 300 and 600 ships would have been absorbed by the American market. "Uncle Sam must bravely meet the conditions," he continued "and sell his ships at market prices, the same as Secretary Houston is advising Americans to do with other coramod itles."
