Private Ownership Is Urged
By Admiral Palmer at
Seattle Convention
ALTERNATIVE PRESENTED
Government Operation Is Under
Heavy Loos; Subsidy, or Dis
appearance of U. S. Ships
" Is Forecast
SEATTLE. June 2.".. (By The
Associated Press). Shipping, es
pecially with reference to lumber
and grain, received extensive dis
cussion in closing session here to
day of tlio eleventh annual con
vention the national foreign
trade council, which met Wednes
day. Admiral Leigh C. Palmer, USN,
resigned, president of the emer
gency fleet corporation, in whose
hands, at the instance of Presi
dent Coolidge, negotiations for
sale of government vessels were
placed, raised questions on which
the convention general committee
was expected to announce opinions
of the council.
Admiral Palmer recommended
"private ownership on terms that
protect the government interests,"
operation of government lines on
trade routes economically essen
tial to the national Interests, and
"where sales are impossible, char
ter of lines to private responsible
parties."
"To summarize," Admiral Palm
er continued, "our country faces
three alternatives In ' respect to
the merchant marine in foreign
trade: First, continued govern
ment operation costing ultimately
around $30,000,000 a year; sec
ond, government aid to private
shipping amounting to about $15,
000,000 a year; or third, the grad
ual but certain disappearance of
our flag from the international
trade routes and a return to our
pre war condition when less than
10 per cent of our foreign com
merce was carried in American
vessels." ' . . . .
Frank L. Shull, flour miller of
Portland, Ore., speaking for grain
growers and manufacturers of the
Pacific northwest, declared for a
subsidy to build up the American
merchant marine under private
ownership
"Never will there be a lumber
famine in the United States," pre
dicted J. H. Bloedel, Seattle lum
berman. "The consumption of
lumber will decline witlT the ad
vance of culture and civilization.
In Europe today it is only five
feet a head a year. :
"By , the tim the American
level of consumption is nearly as
low as that in Europe," explained

from an all-day ride on the train
The "Army" was "demobilized" at
the Armory shortly after 7 o'clock
The camp was very successful.
according to Capt. Paul Hendricks
Because of the excessive heat there
was no drill for the men in the
afternoons, with the exception of
Mwo military maneuvers of an ex
tensive nature. Officers and non
commissioned orricers were re
quired to attend schools, while
the privates ex-service men at

spent the time as they saw fit.
Two thermometers were broken
by the heat at the camp hospital
when 112 degrees were recorded.
Medford itself was a little more
charitable, and out of" respect for
the feelings of the folks at home
and not to alarm them, quoted the
temperature as 104 degrees. On
Wednesday, however, Medford ad

None of the Salem men suf

GONE, BUT THE ROOTS REMAIN
Coolidge Declares Many European
Proposals Not Madtf In Good
Faith.
SWAMPSCOTT, Mass., June 2
(By The Associated Press.)-
President Coolidge is firmly op
posed to suggestions made abroad
that the United States lower its
tariff duties and curtail produc
tion as a means of aiding Germany
to meet reparations payments and
European governments generally
to pay their debts, i
The president's 1 view outlined
today at the summer White House
concerned particularly-the propos
al on tariff reduction and produc
tion curtailment made before- the
'international Chamber of Com
-tneree meeting at Brussels by Sir
Joshua Stamp, a British member
of. the reparations commission.
The president believes many plans
proposed for the j betterment .of
conditions abroad are simply left
handed efforts to ge the United
States to pay reparations.
.The people of the United States
on, whom the burden of any pro
posal, if adopted, would rest, Mr,
Coolidge is convinced, are deter
mined not to become involved in
the reparations problem and are
unalterably: opposed to debt can
cellation.
In the president's opinion the
increase in American imports dur
ing the last few years is a suffi
cient answer to the suggestion
that tariff duties should be lower
ed. He considers it significant
tat American trade volume is ap
proximately 50 per cent greater
than before the war, while the im
port and export business of most
European countries is less.
While Mr. Coolidge holds to
the view that the American public
feel that Germany: must pay rep
arations and that other European
nations must meet their debt ob
ligations, he believes that to an
extent the people of the United
States have a concern in world
conditions which they would be
glad to alleviate through any plan
which did not shift until warrant
ed burdens on their shoulders.

Cliarge of Killing Foster Son By
Typhoid Germs Not Be-
-l lieved By Jury
CHICAGO. June 26. (By Asso-
riniPd Press.) The trial of Wil
liam Darling Shepherd was begun
annroximately six weeks ago.
Three weeks and three days
were required for selection or a
Jury, 12 days for presentation oi
testimony and the last three days
for iury pleas by four attorneys
Ghonhprrt waa indieted March
-17 last upon 22 counts of murder,
chief of which were that he had
used typhoid germs to precipitate
a fatal disease in his young foster
son William Nelson McCllntocK,
who made a will naming Shepherd
chief Aeir of an estate valued in
excess v6f $1,000,000. The youth
died December 4 last of typhoid
fever during an epidemic of-that
disease traced by city health of
ficers to contaminated oysters
shipped here from the east.
Virtually from the day of the
voiith's death, however, wMspers
vara tiaarri a.ainst Snepnera in
Kenilworth, the fashionable nortn
shore suburb in which the Shep
herds shared young McClintock's
home.
Judge Harry Olson, chief jus
tice of the municipal courtof Chi
cago, proclaimed himself "coun
sel for the dead," and demanded
an official Investigation.
Shepherd and his wife, who had
gone to Albuquerque, N. M., re
turned to Chicago, but refused to
testify-before the coroner and
upon March 3 that official heard
Judge Olson accuse Shepherd of
the murder of the youth. TSe
boy's body had been disinterred
December 24 and an autopsy re
vealed that typhoid had been the
sole cause of death. .
Charles C. Faiman, head of the
small National - University of
Sciences was brought into the case
and upon March 12 alleged Shep
herd had stolen live typhoid germs
from hl3 school.
The statement later was varied
to a formal confession in which
Faiman said he gave ShephercTThe
germs and taught Mm how to. use
them to slay the youth to keep him
from marrying Miss Isabelle Pope,
a young school teacher, and there
by nullify the will he had made in
Shepherd's favor.
The day after Faiman made his
original statement. Shepherd was
taken lalro formal custody of the
state's attorney, held at a hotel
until after he was indicted, March
17, and then placed in jail, where
he since has been.
The death ot Billy McClintock
gained newspaper first page space
through the fact that Miss Pope
waited with a marriage license
while he sank into the Jast coma.
She maintained that but for
Shepherd's interference she would
have married the youthrShepherd
informing her that she alone could
not obtain a marriage license.
From the witness stand in Shep
herd's trial the young woman stat
ed that she had a "fifty-fifty" ar
rangement with, the cousins of
Billy's mother for division of the
estate if they could break the will.
The seven cousins, most ofwhom
live: In Iowa, served notice ' of a
will contest, two weeks after Billy
died. . ' -
After Shepherd had been Indict
ed the coroner's jury continued the
inquest and upon May 5 directed
that both Shepherds be held for
the murder. The grand lurv re
fused to indict Mrs. Shepherd.
