Aroused hy the discovery today that Harry Austin, colored, 23, who was to face the Criminal Court yesterday on an indictment for housebreaking, had escaped from Gallinger Hospital by crawling through a transom, police and detective bureau officials today canre out wholeheartedly for the pl ement of ¢ doors on at least three of the rooms for prisoners at Gallinger Hospital, to prevent a re- currence of such an escape in the fu- ture. Austin is the third police prisoner | who, in recent months, escaped crim- inal proceedings by breaking away from Gallinger Hospital.

ACTION ON FLEET TRANSFER ASSURED by part that some Study | Jones to Prepare Measure Based on Recommendation . of President. Senator chairman Jones of Washington, of the Senate commerce mittee, which has charge of mer- nt marine legislation, ‘said today after hearing the President's mes- | sage t he would undertake the { preparation of léegislation transfer- ring to the Emergency Fleet Corpora- tion the entire responsibility of oper- ation of the flect, as recommended by the Prestdent. Senator Jones sald that he would cuss the matter with President Coolidge as soon as he was able:to see him following the President’s re- turn to Washington from Chicago. “The operation of the fleet now owned by the Government should be in the hands of the Fleet Corpora- tion and separated from the Shipping Board,” said Senator Jon, It seems that legislation is necessary to bring this about, although we had hoped the arrangement attempted last Win- ter would work satisfactorily and legislation would not bo required. T am in favor of going ahead and gl ing the President what requires with regard to the handling of mer- chant marine.” Urged New Method. Senator Jones a year ago advised the President 'that the operation of the fleat should be turned over to the Fleet Corporation, and the Shipping Board should give its entire atten- tion to the regulatory and judiclal functions, for which it was originally created. The Senator from Wash ington took a considerable part in bringing about the agreement be- tween the Shipping Board and the | president of the Fleet Corporation, Admiral Leigh C. Palmer, under which the management of ithe fleet had been conducted. | It is proposed that the Fleet' Cor- poration should continue largely in the character of a private corpora- tion. This is much perferable, it is said, to a bureaucratic form. One Man Control Seen. Tt is expected that legislation will provide for one-man control, but with such supervision as would insure a proper accounting to the President and Congress both in relation to the activities and finances of the corpora- tion. It Is further expected that the legislation will provide for the appointment by the President of the United States of the president of the Fleet Corporation. The board of trustees may be provided for com- posed of the president and other of- ficers of the corporation, and that an advisory counsel, composed of the heads of the thrée departments par- ticularly interested in shipping, of the Treasury, Navy and Department of Commerce, would be set up.

BY HOBERT "I‘. SWALL. By travellng to Chicago today the drawing room of an ‘“ordin sleeping car,” President Coolidge has et another example of that Jeffer- sonian simplicity which is to mark the next four years in the White House. Not for thirty many more than that—has dent of the United States overnight trip away from W ton in anything but a private often In a special train. The President is traveling in_ a sleeper without dining equipment, having planned to take his d!naer and breakfast in the regular dining car attached to the train for all travel- ers, high and low Tt must not be supposed, however, that the general public is being ac- commodated in the same Pullman with the President. It so happens that his traveling companions are all personal acquaintances or attaches of the White House. There was no room in the President’s car even for the news- paper men regularly attached to the White House. They had to find ac- commodations elsewhere on the train, along with the general public.

The reason for this was that the railroads of the coun- try furnished the transportation and the equipment free. It was in the #ood 0ld days of passes, when every: body with an offical position cut in the freedom of the ralls. The railway companies also furnished the food and other refreshment for the presidential party, and the President was free to Invite as many guests as he chos Some of ecutive 10 5o car, the presidential trips un- der the old order cost the railroads high $100.000. Wines, liquo and cigars were furnished with a free hand. Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt | were the last to travel under a tem that today would have been call- ed particularly vicious. Mr. Roosevelt realized this after he had been in the White House for some time. Then there came the Federal law against the granting of passes. This put it up to Congress to provide a legitimate travel fund for the Presi- dent. With the advent of Mr. Taft this fund became available.
