v 2 * DOLIDGE'S QUERY ON SHIPS REVEALED Spokesman Says Policy Re- . ‘garding Sale Was Not " Questioned. H BY DAVID LAWRENCE. The White House has not yet shed light on the controversy going on .in- side the Shipping Board with respect to the pending sale of ships, and there is no copy, available for publication of the Jetter written by- Presidenit. Cool- idge to Chairman O'Connor, which has been Interpreted as an intervention in Shipping Board procedure. What the spokesman for the Presi- Gen: told the press as to this and other matters at the semi-weekly con- ference follows almost verbatim: 1. That the President made an in- quiry of the Shipping Board net in relation to the sale of ships that is contemplated, but he made an inquiry as to whether part of the Shipping Board were going to appear in court in opposition to the rest of the board, and he was informed that some. of them were appearing in. court. The President did not know whether the idea was that it was in opposition to the rest of the board, but the in- formation consisted of filing with him the personal answers, the individual answers made by the different mem- bers of the board. These are on file in court; they arepublic, and that is all the information he has about it. He was not making an inquiry—he wanted that made-elear—about the sale of ships. His inquiry was as to the administration of the Shipping Board affairs—as to whether. part of the board was in conflict with the other part of the board and if mem- bers of the board were in conflict gen- erally against the board or against the Government. He was told the court complaint was against each of the members individually and they were making individual answers. Those are on file, and the President does not know exactly what their con- tents are. Kellogg. Action Routine. 2. The President understood that the statement issued by Secretary Kellogz with respect.to Russia had no par- ticular significance. He understood it came about “this way: When Ambassador Kellogg became Secretary of State there were rumors that he might change 'the attitude of the State Department towards Rus- sia and in response to several inquires of that kind the Secretary sent notice there was not any change at the pres- ent time—more as a matter of or- dinary detail. ! 3. The President is advised that| marines were landed in Honduras from omé of our was vessels that are in-that territory. There is no definite information available as yet as to the nature of the able as yet as_to the nature of the difficulties in Honduras. The com- manders-of the United States battle- ships have general authority, when in foreign waters and understand that American’ lives or property are in jeopardy;” to land marines for their protection. That is what has taken place in this instance. It is not known that any lives have been lost. He was referring not only to American lives, but to lives of the natives of Honduras. - He understood, however, that there is some threat of revolution and disorder in some parts of the country, but so far as information has been received it does not appear to be serious. Appointments Uncertain. 4. The President didn't know just when an appointment. would be made to fill vacancies in Rumania, or Fin- Jand or Siam. Mr. Jay is in Rumania conducting some negotiations that are pending,there and he may be kept there until ‘thése negotiations are.in such shape that he can turn them over to his suceessor. Most of the questions of the day were in relation ‘to Russia and. the Shipping Board, which he thought hc had answered in a way that.members of the press underktood. He didn't think the President would be going | to Boston op the 17th of June and.it was possible he might be at Cam- bridge, Mass., on the 3d of July. 6. That the President has no mne- gotiations at ‘the present time rela- tive to the arms conference and that | he already has given all the informa- tion there is about that and that the matter is being looked up by the State Department. ,The spokesman did not volunteer arly information as to Government ac- tivfties or the cabinet sessions nor was there any way of determining | under the rule just what inquiries were made of the President which he decided not to answer.

The court suggested an immediate appeal from his decision so that the State Supreme Court could pass upon the question. Judge Koch stated that if it had been alleged in the petition that Cavalier had become insane since his trial he would have granted the petition, but he refused to go into the general question of the boy’s san- ity after a jury had convicted him. Cavalier, who was an intent listener %, the proceedings, said he was glad the movement to have him declared insane had been blocked. “I would rather a thousand times be electro- cuted,” he declared, “than to go to n madhouse.

Russian Policy As a result of a misunderstand- ing about the use of his statements made yesterday to F. A. MacKen- zie of the Chicago Daily News foreign service, the following state- ment was made_ today from the office of Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce: “Mr. Hoover made no statement upon the policies of the American Government. He did express his indignation at the treatment of members of the Russian staff of the American Relief Administra- tion. Mr. Hoover wanted his posi- tioh known in Russia only. He misunderstood ~ Mr. MacKenzie when the latter asked his permis- sion to use the material in the United States. Mr. Hoover,” nat- urally, does not wish any one to think that he would try to express officially ; the American govern- ment’s attitude toward Russia, since ‘to do that would be entirely out of his province.

NORFOLK, Va., April 22.—The leds- ing of ‘the Virginian Raiflway ‘to tha Norfolk and Western, subject to ap- proval of stockholders of the roads and the Interstate Comimerce Copumis- sion, did not come as a surprise here. It has been under conmsideration for some time in view of the eountr wide plans for railroad conmsolidation. The lease, more than anythinx else, ill serve to put the Norfoik nnd Western and Virginian _in _fewer hands. A large block of Norfolk and Western stock is_held by the lenn- vlvania road and the Penn: s at various times made ; for the leasing of the Norfolk Western. If the Virginian is srought into the Norfolk and Western fold 1t is expected these megotiations will be resumed. It has been understood that Henr Ford was after the Virginian to co nect his Detrcit, Toledo and Ironton road with tidewater, but hopes of such a merger fell with a eniy thud when Chester, Pa., was select as the port from which Ford would ship his export cars. VOTE COMING IN MAY. Stockholders to Act on Proposed H Lease in Short Time. | By the Associated Press. NORFOLK, Va., April —Di- rectors of the Norfolk and Western Railway bave reached an agreement with the directors of the Virginian Railway for the lease of the latter line subject fo approval of stockholders of both roads and the Interstate Com- merce Commission. Terms in brief provide for the pay- ment of operating expenses, taxes, i terest on funded debt and a net pa ment of 6 per cent on the outstandin: stock of the Virginian, or about $3.500,000 a vear. Stockholders of the two companies. it was announced officially, will meet the latter. part of May to consider the proposed lease. ASSETS ARE $550,000,000. New York Financial Interests Sur- prised by Action. By the Asscciated Press. NEW_YORK, April 22.—Properties jof the Norfolk and Western and the Virginia Railway companies, rer senting combined assets of about § 000,000, will be united for future operation and development under a lease agreement which was approved by directors of the two roads yes- terday. . The transaction involves a lease of the Virginian system to the Norfolk and Western for 999 years. Held No Bar to Competition. Original proposals for regrouping the Eastern railroad into four main trunk lines allotted the Virginian Rail- way to the new Van Sweringen sys- tem. The lease agreement with the Norfolk and Western therefore came as a surprise to the financial district and aroused reports that-the Penn- sylvania interests, in return for this road, may have withdramifi their op- position to the proposed allocation of other small lines, such as the Lehigh Valley and Lackawanna, fo the New York Central and Nickel te. In announcing the pln for united development and operation of the two roads. A. C. Needles, president of the Norfolk and Western, said that they did not serve the same mines or com- plete as coal carriers.

Virginian Railroad 440 Miles Long. “To the financial viewpoint, the ad- dition of the Virginian to the Nor- folk and Western systems will create business to the west for the Norfolk and Western, and relieve the Nor- folk and Western of very heavy cap- ital expenditures which ‘must other- wise be made.” The Virginian Railway's line ex- tends from Sewells Point, Norfolk, Va., to Deepwater, W. Va., a distance of 440 miles, and taps valuable coal areas. It has eight points of contact with the Norfolk and Western. An alliance of the two systerhs was recommended to the Interstate Com. merce Commission by Prof. W. Z. Ripley of Harvard University, but the commission in its tentative plan of consolidations suggested a combi- nation with the Chesapeake and Ohio, which now is a part of the Van § ingen's proposed “Nickel Plate” ger.

RICHMOND, Va., April 22—The Virginia State Corporation Commis- sion announced today it would oppose the leasing of the Virginian Railway by the Norfolk and Western when the matten is brought before the Inter- state Commerce Commission.

C. Red- ding found at its end. Mr. Silverman, who conducts a grocery store on the corner of Dela- | ware avenue, M and Second streets southwest, reported the theft of a bushel basket of kale from in front of his foodstuffs emporium early to- day. The fourth precinct, represent- ed by the stalwart figure of Police- man’ Redding, who has been on the force since last July and is not too much of a yeteran to overlook clues and such things, undertook the in- vestigation. In the fashion approved by M. Gab- oriau’s M. Lecoq and Mr. Doyle’s Mr. Holmes, Policeman Redding, upon ar- rival at the scene took a survey to locate teli-tale evidences-of the theft. He saw a few straggling pieces of kale, that had strayed from the bas- ket, lying supinely on the sidewalk. He saw other pieces in the street. And further across the street he saw other pleces of kale. That was the “trail of the kale." Humming < “Follow the Swallow,” Redding followed the trail. Suddenly he came to its end. This put him in a quandary and he paused for med- itation, contemplation and rumina- tion. ‘As he paused, the door of a house at 1210 Second street south- west opened and a colored woman appeared.

Long before the gates were open, | at noon, the crowd began to assem- ble, most of the early birds hoping to Worm their way into the far-lung | garden stands. To their surprise, | |they found about 10,000 tickets| |awaiting their disposal. Of these, | 12500 were for standing room in the | | grand stand, 3,000 seats in the cov-| jered pavilion and the rest in the| bleachers.

Dick Langley’s force of ushers also | “was. out early to get their final in-| structions and Dick promised that not a single reserve seat holder would be led astray. His 150 young men wore red caps to signify their office. Billy Smith, secretary to Ed Eynon, ir., and in charge of the park conc sions, apparently looked for a hungry | and thirsty throng at the opening, for | he had stocked himself up with the | following minor items: Five hundred pounds hot dogs, 500 dozen rolls, 6 large tubs of ice cream, 1,000 cases of soft drinks, 100 cases of beer (why Billy did not class this beer in the soft-drink category is not known), and, of course, 100 bushels of the inevitable double-jointed jumbo peanuts and pop- | corn. Joe Judge, Sam Rice and Goose Gos- Jin, the slugging trio of the fAghting Bucks, were the first members of the home team to pull their shiny motor cars up outside the locker room. These players arrived about 11 o'clock and immediately chenged 'to their uni-| forms, although they did not appear | on the field until batting practice some time later. . : There was no morning practice, as Manager Harris and President Griffith felt it was not needed after the strenu- ous victory at Philadelphia vesterday. — BABE ILL OF SMALLPOX.
