W. Tucker, & passerby, of 424 Tenth street. She was rushed to Casualty Hor pital, where it was found her injuries were lacerations of the scalp and a possible skull fracture. Her condi- tion was pronounced not serious. Police of the sixth precinot, under Lieut. Fred Cornwell, who investi- gated the case, and questioned the girl's two brothers, Charles and Fred Baggott, living respectively at Alex- andria, and 314 Indlana avenue, were inclined to believe the girl jumped from the window. BILL WOULD MAKE MERCHANT FLEET INDEPENDENT UNIT (Continued from First Page.) vested in the Shipping Board. Pres- ident Coolidge in his recent messag to Congress declared that this was the first step which should be taken with regard to the continued opera- ion of the Government fleet, declar ing that the orgenization of the board did not lend itself to handling such a business proposition. Chosen By President. The president of the Fleet Corpo- ration, under the operation of the bill, will be selected by the Presi- dent of the United States. AS a mat- ter of fact, although elected by the board. the present head of the Fleet Corporation, former Admiral Leigh C. Palmer, was selected by President Coolidge a year ago, the board merely ratifying the selection as it had to do under the existing law. Senator Jones, it is expected, will ask his committee to consider- the bill at an early date. Whether legl lation can be had at the present short sessfon of Congress, howover, is problematical. ~Opposition may be able to block it. If the bill fails of action, it will be submitted at the next regular session, it is understood. Under the merchant marine act of 1920 the Shipping Board is authorized | and directed to investigate and de- termine what steamship lines shall be established and put into opera- tion from the ports of the United tes to forelgn ports and markets. The new bill provides that “whenever | the board determines from its in- vessigations,” made pursuant to the merchant marine act, “that new lines should be esatblished or that inade- quacies of lines or service exist it shall communicate its findings to the President, who shall direct the Secre- tary of Commerce to endeavor to ure the establishment and main- tenance of such lines or adequate services with vessels owned and oper- ated privately by citizens of the United States. and if the Secretary | shall fail In such endeavor he shall The brothers, when taken to the sixth precinct, police sald, told a story of how their sister had taken a number of drinks earlier in the evening. She had been prevailed upon by them, and by a friend, Mrs. Martha Washington Fox of a nearby apartment, they sald, to retire to bed in_the front room. The brothers returned, the police say, to a rear room to continue the party, ignorant of the near-tragic events taking place in the front of the apartment. Their first knowledge of the accident to their sister was when Tucker came in to notify them lnho had been found in the snow be- ow. Police released the brothers after they had told their story. The girl's mother died about 10 years ago, it was said. Her father is superintend- ent of Fort Lincoln Cemetery. | R Commission is to the railroads, al- though the board can only declare Tates unfair, and is not empowered to fix rates, as the commission does for rallroa It has been the contentlon of Senator Jones and others for some time that this should be the case. ‘Thy trol of the docks, plers, and other terminal factli- tles is left with the Shipping Board instead of being turned over to the Fleet Corporation. These facilities, it is sald, can be used by the board to foster American shipping. Under the law now existing they could not be disposed of without further action by Congress. The Jones bill provides for th& re- peal 6f section 35 of the merchant marine act of 1920, which provides that the power and authority vested in the board may be exercised di- rectly by the board, or by it through the United States Fleet Corporation. Henceforth the powers of operation lle only with the Fleet Corporation, provided the bill becomes & law. Recommendation of the Shipping Board providing for _encouraging ship building in the United States through remission of taxes is in- cluded in the bill. Provides for Mail, Another recommendation of the board which has been adopted by Senator Jones would have all the malls of the United States shipped on vessels flying the American flag, wherever practicable. All ofcials and employes of the United States, traveling by water, when their ex- penses are paid by the Government, must travel when possible on Amer can flag ships under another pros CHEMIST LOSES LIFE Former Curie Aide Dies in Agony. X-Ray Victim Gives Body to Science. By the Associated Press. PARIS, January 8.—The chemist Demenitroux, who worked with the late Prof. Curie and Mme. Curie, dled today in a hospital here, the victim of & strange, lingering and agonizing affection caused by long-continued experimentation in radium research, his case being not unltke that of Prof. Bergonie, who dled yesterday in Bor- deaux, and that of Dr. Charles Vall- lant, the noted x-ray experts. In Bordeaux today an autopsy was performed upon the body of Prof. Bergonle at the Academy of Medicine by his puplls and a group of scien- tists, in accordance with the wishes of this martyr to science, whose ex- perimentation with the X-ray was largely devoted to search for a cure for cancer. Prof. Bergonie had for- bidden the holding of any funeral services or ceremonies, asking that only his body be used for study of the type of affection that is killing or maiming 80 many experimenters in this branch of scienoe. —_— Nottingham {s the largest lace manufacturing center in the world. sion of the bill, and supplies for the Government must be so carried when practicable.
