SHIPPING FRAUDS
Washington, Dec. 14. -(U. P.) -Fifteen
prosecuting attorneys and
five trial lawyers should be em
ployed by the government to prose
cute shipping board "frauds, Martin
J. Gillen; former executive assistant
on the board, today recommended in
a written' report to the Walsh in
vestigation committee. Gillen did
not appear today in person.
Edward Denman, " first board chair
man, continued to testify concerning
losses' he said American shipping suf
fered because his successors did . not
carry out his. Diesel engine project
. Gillen recommended all officers of ships
and 11 officers of companies Operating
under the shipping" "board be required,
before receiving their salaries, to take
oath: they have not received and. have
no knowledge of rebates, bonuses or
bribes. - Me also urged complete abro
gation of all present ship sales contracts
and making of new arrangements.
Oillen said the "American market for
ships is shot to pieces" and that many
of the early purchasers of shipping
boasd vessels are "destined to be finan
cially destroyed . at an early date."
Therefore, the government should take
back all its ship sales contracts, ad
Justing prices anew and making other
contracts, he said. .
: !There are a great number of Inef
ficient members in the shipping board
operating companies and vessels should
be taken away from them, Baid Oillen,
wry ins: also a -complete separation of
the shipping board and the Kmergency
Fleet Corporation and additional regu
latory shipping legislation by congress.

not to say he intends to select him there
i naturally dismay In the Johnson
camp. But Mr. Johnson is not the only
one who would regard the appointment
of Mr. Hoover in the same way as wav
'ing a red flag in front of a bull. Sen
ator Penrose, when asked what he
thought of Mr. Hoover for the cabinet
is quoted as saying he regarded such
talk as a joke.
.- The fact is the possible appointment
of Mr Hoover to the cabinet has stirred
up some interesting discussion on Capi
tol Hill.
SPLIT TALK HEARD
Threats and talk of splitting the party
are of course heard. Some of the sena
tors have begun referring again to Mr.
Hoover's long residence in England,
while otners have revived the contro
versy about the fixing of the price of
wheat which Mr. 'Hoover insists he
didn't do, but which was the work of
a special committee appointed by the
president. Nevertheless, in the scramble
for positions, the friends of those who
want positions, in the cabinet and want
to eliminate Mr, Hoover because of the
suggestUm that he . will be the only
western man chosen, are beginning ' to
be united against Mr. Hoover.
HOOTER IX . INTEBIOE
The understanding here is that Sena
tor Harding is thinking of Mr. Hoover
for secretary of the interior, particu
larly because Mr. Hoover Is a western
man and Is a successful engineer who
rould deal ; with, the great problems of
the Interior department Mr. Hoover
may or may not be selected, but his
-presence in Merlon is annoying to his
opponents in the senate, who really fear
he wil be appointed - Until these oppo-
, iients began to take. Jt serlounly the im-
' presslon'was not . well defined that Mr.
Hoover would be chosen. The activity
.against Mr.- Hoover: is the , strongest
evidence- thus far that the president
elect has him strongly in nrind for the
cabinet . It Isn't the view of Herbert
Hoover on the. League of -Nations or
Kuropean conditions which is Influencing
Mr. Harding. Th"close friends of the
president-elect say he wants Mr. Hoover
because. he believes the country has con
fidence in the former food administra
tor and expects him to choose men of
Hoover's executive ability.
ROOT PLAN IX FAVOR ' '
. Some significant things have been
happening .here; too. on the League of
Nations question which, when pieced to-
Fcnin .occurrences ai Aiarton, re
veal Mr. Harding as anxious to. have
America center her plana for an Inter
national association around the court
which Elihu Root helped to create. - Mr.
Harding has wanted to know whether
the court wouldn't be sufficient and the
purpose of the conference at Marlon
between Mr. Harding and Mr. Root and
the meeting between Senator Fall and
Mr. Root is to find out whether the
. court can be made to stand independ
ently of the League of Nations.
Mr. Hughes will be asked his ideas on
the same thing.

They signed th round robin in March,

Mr. Harding's idea as reflected here is
that If the international court can bring

At present the court is a creature of

throws the weight of bis opinion to the
side of Justice Bean, five members up
holding the validity of the constitutional
amendment and, two Justice Burnett
and Benson dissenting. A
In his opinion ' today Justice Bean
writes : "The constitution as amended
in 1919 in effect said to the counties:!
Tou may create debta for permanent
roads in your county not exceeding six
per cent of the assessed value of the
property of the county, on approval of
a majority of those voting thereon. '
PEOPLE'S WILL 80TEREIGX J
"Under our form of government the ,
sovereign will resides - in the people.
That will Is expressed in a written con
stitution whleh constitutes a fundamen
tal law of the state. The people In
their sovereign capacity assumed the
function of limiting by the amendments
of 1912 and 1915 to section 10 the
amount of indebtedness that counties
could incur for buidlng and maintain
ing permanent county roads and thereby
withdrew that subject from legislative
authority."
DECISION MAKES CLACKAMAS
BONDS VALID, SAY LAWYERS
' Through validating the road bond Is
sue in Union county the supreme court
reverses its decision in regard to the
Clackamas county bond issue. This will
probably result in the Clackamas county
issue being held valid in the opinion of
Portland attorneys, who are . familiar
with the road bond question.
Six counties .are affected by the de
cision and bonds amounting to approx
imately $6,000,000 will be made legal.
DECISION HOLDS VT ISSUE
' Following decision of the 'supreme
court last summer on a divided count of
four in favor and three opposed to de
claring the bonds invalid because they
were issued in excess of 2 per cent of
the ' assessed valuation of the county,
the issuance of bonds in other counties
was held up.
In Union county a small amount of
road bonds were issued, but the treas
urer refused to pay the coupons on the
strength of the Clackamas county road
bond decision of the supreme court.
In the case of Clackamas county,
bonds amounting to $1,700,000, were di
rectly Invalidated and other counties
were Indirectly effected In approximate
figures as follows; Unton, $1,500,000;
Lane. $1,000,000; Jackson, $300,000;
Yamhill, $420,000, and Crook, $200,000.
SUIT IS IXSTITUTED .
Upon refusal of the treasurer to pay
bond coupons in Union county, Ladd ft
Tllton instituted their suit against that
county; which resulted in the decision of
the supreme court upholding validity, of
the bond Issue in that county. This ex
tends the same decision to Yamhill,
Jackson, Lane and. Crook counties..
Since the bond issue has been declared
valid In Union county, the supreme court
directly reverses the decision made in
the Clackamas county case and will
probably result In holding valid the
bonds in. the latter named county as
well.
' While - actual issuance of bonds was
hot held up in Coos county, the commun
ity had been contemplating a road bond
election " which was delayed by the
Clackamas county decision. Coos county
participated in the brief of the Union
county case.'

RIDERLESS
CAR
ON WILD DASH
The most sensational streetcar
smashup of recent months occurred
on the west approach of the Steel
bridge at 9:80 p. m, Monday when
an Irvington - Jefferson one - mail
streetcar ran wild from a point on
the bridge to Third street. The most
surprising and forunate feature of
the crash lay in the fact that the
one-man car was for the nonce a
no-man car, the motorman-conduc-
tor having left hi charge. v
A truck driven by William Lekas,
driver for the American Soda works,
struck the car, injuring John Jouglas.
who was on the truck. G. H. Linvtlle,
the car "crew." left hia car, after set
tnig hia airbrake, to secure notes on
the accident In some way the car
started up. gathered momentum aa It
traveled west, and hurtling down the
bridge approach jumped the track,
smashed the concrete pillar supporting
an arch, and knocked down the front
of an auto repair shop.
Motorcycle Patrolman Drennan, see-
in r the crash, telephoned ue pouce
headquarters to send all the ambulances
in town to the scene, soon alter ne
found that the car was empty.
M. Elflng. 220 North Seventeenth
street, had to run to escape from the
iunernaut. he told police, j. is. Mates,
truckman with fire engine 2, also saw
the crash.
Jouelas waa taken to the emergency
hospital, where he waa found- to have
been badly cut about the neaa.

(Cod tinned From Pace Oat)
unon. auch aa his intention to call an
extra session of congress and hia desire
that tariff hearings be started. These
matters have, already been carried In
nreas resorts and will not be renearsea.
The effort here Is to tell of the occasion,
particularly as It tends to show the man- j
ner of man.
The questions were direct, but, as a
senator, Harding has become used to
that. Some were so searching that he
noticeably hesitated, and now and then
resorted to the explanation that the sub
ject was one he really could not discuss.
One question in particular gave him dif
ficulty. He parried a little, made a lew
remarks which developed his mental at
titude, then quickly retrieved.
8ECRET IS KEPT
'Tou did not ask me that question!"
he , exclaimed, nodding to a New York
correspondent who bad questioned him.
It was something he could not afford to
have mentioned, he added, even to the
extent of saying that he had been ques
tioned, for that might carry wrong im
pressions. So no one beyond those pres
ent will ever know to what the question
pertained.
At another point Senator Harding ex
postulated :
"Now, boys, we are all publishers to
gether," whereat there was a small
chorus of "No, no 1" which he evidently
misinterpreted for a moment and flared
up with a show of spirit. He waa soon
reassured that his hearers were not ob
jecting to keeping his confidences, but
were merely protesting against his too
generous assumption that they had at
tained the dignity of publishers. -
During the Interview the president
elect toped with a lead pencil, and when
the assemblage dispersed he had left be
hind him a large-sized design of trian
gular shape a large blotting . pad,
which he had carefully traced in straight
lines while talking. Part of the time his
eyes followed this incidental task. The
rest of the time he turned them upon his
questioners, occasionally pausing for a
mild gesture. 1
The discussion wandered far afield at
times, to such things as the Marion Star,
which he describes as his "bread ticket"
for so many years, and is still close to
his heart ; and he spoke at some length
on newspaper styie ana personal jour
nalism. But he gave more time than
anything else to his "gospel of under
standing." his desire to work with the
senate and to have likewise the coopera
tion of the newspaper men in translating
to the public the proper interpretation of
cts attitude on the subjects discussed.
He seemed a little uneasy over the
possibility that his round table talk In
itself would be construed as a matter of
indelicacy, since he is not yet president,
and was naturally asked to discuss mat
ters which he can only talk about pros.
pectively. He repeatedly expressed the
hope that he would not be put in the at
titude or violating any nroDrieties.
He appeared somewhat bronzed after
his sea trip, robust and good natured.
He indulges little In humor, lacking the
aeen sense or wit which used to enliven
and enrich the conferences with Preel-
aent wnson. He j8 rather less decisive
but something must be allowed for his
present position of president-to-be. On
the whole, ha makes his way companion
able and dispenses a feeling of good fel-
10 snip mat should be of material as
slstance if he carries it on into the rif
flee and billows that every president
must meet. -

TENURE BILL BODES

board except Director W. P. Woodward,
who is aligned with the teachers In
their support of the present tenure law.
ALLEGED DEFECTS SEE
Newill contended that the existing
statute makes It impossible, to all prac
tical intents and purposes, for the board
to get rid of inefficient teachers in the
public schools of the city and that di
rection and control of the employment
of teachers is taken away by the subro
gation of the board's authority to that
of the trial commission, to which dis
charged teachers have the right of ap
peal from the decisions of the board.
Director Newui contended tnat u.e
superintendent of schools, who now has
the right to hire, should be given the
right to fire, subject to the approval
and sustaining vote of the board in
cases of appeal.
SHULL SUSTAINS NEWILI,
In this argument Kewlll was sustained
by Director Frank L. Shull, who said the
present law put on trial the principals
who might prefer charges, rather than
the teacher accused, and gave the de
cision into the hands of a political body
separate and apart from the school
authorities. The whole .effect of the
operation of the law, wherever It had
been brought into play, Shull contended,
bad been to lower the school board and
the school system in public opinion.
Miss Larrabee made a clearcut and
exhaustive presentation of the argu
ments advanced by the teachers against
amendment of the existing law. , She
reviewed the history of the Portland
schools and contended that at no time
during the last 20 years had the effi
ciency and the morale of the 'teaching
staff been at so high a standard. The
proposed amendments offered by the
board, she argued, would unbalance this
condition, would deny the accused teach
er an adequate right of appeal by mak
ing the school board "the judge, the
jury and the prosecuting attorney."
CALLS IT SPOILS STSTEM
The amendments, she contended, would
tend to bring back the "spoils system"
in the employment and retention of
teachers, ; put them at the mercy of
political and personal influence and keep
them on the "anxious seat" all the time.
iWoodward.-who stands alone on the
board- in opposition to the proposed
amendments, argued that the board had
enough to do without worrying with ten
ure. He had watched the operation of
the law, he said, and was convinced
that it was working well and he sug
gested that the big questions the boad
had to face was the explanation of the
$4,000,000 budget to the taxpayers and
the problem of getting rid of "those
damned portables" which he said were
not "fit to house a hog in.';
MONTAGUE FAVOH8 CHA5GE
It. 'W. Montague spoke briefly in
favor of the amendments, countering
the arguments of Miss Larrabee that
the right of appeal would be taken
away by them. Miss Mary Harper Baid
that the "public school system of the
country as a whole Is crumbling" be
cause of the unpleasant conditions and
low pay of the teachers, and she advo
cated the Institution f a merit and de
merit system for the benefit not only
of the efficient teachers, but of the serv
ice generally. . i '
A number, of other .speakers joined
In the discussion. The members of the
delegation made no. statement regarding
the amendments proposed during or fol
lowing the meeting, as It is the purpose
of the delegation to gain ail information
possible concerning - legislative ' matters
presented before it for their guidance
during the session. .
Senator Roy W. Rltner, scheduled
president of the senate, ' waa an inter
ested spectator during the evening.

Haitian Charges of
Cruelty Are Denied
By Admiral Knapp
By Harry L. Rogers
Washington, Dec. 14. (I. N. &)
Charges that American marines in Hayti
have been guilty of indiscriminate kill
ing of men, women and children are ab
solutely unfounded, according to the re
port of Bear Admiral Harry S. Knapp
to Secretary of the Navy Daniels today.
Though admitting that theT marines
may ' have made mistakes. Admiral
Knapp warmly defended the administra
tion of justice and asserted that, except
for a negligible percentage of malcon
tents, the population of Hayti welcomes
their presence in the island.
Admiral Knapp believes the Haitiens
would rapidly sink back into banditry
and anarchy if the United States forces
were withdrawn. At least a generation
must pass, he asserted, before Haiti can
produce sufficient men of high enough
standards to provide personnel for an
honest administration and a background
of honest population for, its support."

Wells said that the hail and sleet of
