William Micchell on charges of insubordination and conduct prejudicial to the good order and discipline of the service. The resuit of the reconvening of the naval court of inquiry was an exoneration of Capt. Paul Foley, its former judge advocate, of charges that he had sought to influence Mrs. Lansdowne’s testimony It had been charged by Mrs. Lans- downe that Capt. Foley, judge advo- cate of the court before which she s to appear, called on her and sought to have her suppress certain facts or allegations concerning flight of the Shenandoah. Later, she said, she was handed a prepared statement from Capt. Foley, which <he was to read before the court, and which she refused to read on the ground that it would con: grace to the memory of her husband. Called before the court, Capt. Foley who had been relieved &t his own re- said that in accord regulations he called upon Mrs. Lans- downe, as she was to appear as s.

Now the French government reach the North Pole by the use of auto-sledges, capable of traveling on either water or ice. The sledges will carry 2 hydroplanes, 16 men and t necessary supplies for sclentific in- vestigation. The plan is to leave for the North Pole by way of Spitzbergen. Reaching the pole the party will split, the planes flying to New York and the sledges continuing explorations be fore returning South. The mission wil! be designated the “French air mission to the North Pol and will be sup plied and manned by the French navy department. Following two tragic submarine catastrophes, talk {s being revived concerning a movement for the aboli- tion of submarines. It is doubtful however, whether it will lead to any- thing definite. The subject of doing away with submarines is received with interest in this country, and President ing to receive with “an open mind” any suggestions along such lines. The Clyde liner Lenape, en route from New York to Miami, won a race with death and saw her 367 passen- gers rescued before she was scuttled and beached off the Delaware Capes last week. A fire, starting in the aft- hold about 10:45 o'clock at night, rapidly gained headway, despite the efforts of the crew to entinguish it The captain of the vessel sent out SO: calls which were immediately picked up by nearby ships, and then turned his own vessel toward the Delaware Breakwater. The passengers, among them many women and children, were all saved. The one death resulted when a man, becoming hysterical, leaped overboard. Damage to cargo and ves- sel amounted to about $3,000,000. The Treasury Department took up a challenge thrown by Gov. Pinchot of Pennsylvania and last week set about to investigate all the manufacturing establishments engaged in the pro- duction of alcohol. Gov. Pinchot has charged that many plants manufac- turing alcohol have been doing so under permits which were granted by the Government immediately after the advent of prohibition, and that while these permits allow them to continue such manufacture, the men engaged in the work have been, in many cases, indicted and found gullty of conspiracy to violate the prohibition law. Thus, he says, much illicit manufacture is with this bootleg alcohol, made with Government permission. The Treas- ury Department last week announced that all old permits would be cancelled and new permits would be issued for the manufacture of alcohol only after a careful investigation. Addressing the Belgium Chamber of Deputles last week, Emlile Vander- velde, Belgium foreign minister, pre. dicted there would be another “Locarno” (alluding to the security treaty signed among the European nations recently), in which the na- tions of Europe will meet Russia at the conference table with benefit to all. The speaker also referred to “a Qisarmament conference, which must from now on be the chief preoccupa- tion of all.” A bust of Juan Pablo Duarte, na tional hero of the Dominican Republic, was unveiled with ceremonies last week at the FPan-American Union Building here and placed with the busts of 17 other liberators of the in the “hall of patriots” at the build- ing. Secretary of State Kellogg ac- cepted the bust on behalf of the Pan- American Union. The Minister of the Dominican Republic, Jose del Carmen Ariza, made the speech of presenta- ticn. Queen Alexandra of Great Britain, widow of King Edward VII, died Friday after a heart attack and her death saddened the great realm over which she once ruled as consort of a popular King.

Speaking before the New York Board of Trade Thursday night in New York, President Coolidge as- sured business of this country that it need have no fear of Government trict with garments and, in addition, frequently aids in private cases.

The resuly, [if the campaign for the use of sub- | ! stitutes is successful, will be a tre- mendous lowering in the demand for thracite.

Secretary of Commerce Hoover be- leves the only way to bring about proper development of the Govern-| ent’s merchant marine is to end the present system of divided control of Government ship operations. The present system, which divides respon sibility between the Shipping Board and the Emergency Fleet Corporation and which has been marked recently by dissension and controversy over policies and operation of the Govern- ment ships, should be replaced, Secre- tary Hoover believes, by one which would transfer the whole fleet and other property to the Emergency Fleet Corporation, the president of which should be responsible solely to the President of the United s. Secretary Hoover's ideas were made known to delegates attending a sh ping conference here last week under the auspices of the United States Chamber of Commerce. The confer- ence on the following day adopted a report urging Government subsidy for Amerlean shipping, virtual aboli- tion of the pping Board as now constituted and a transfer of control to the Department of Commerce. . Premier of Italy Benito Mussolini, already recognized as a dictator i Italy, now wants it “down on paper, =0 there will be no question about_his dictatorship.

The premier, to says, should be responsible only to the King. Religion. In accordance with a plan which is rapidly gaining favor by the different denominations, more than 3,000 Pres- byterlfan ministers will be awarded pensions by the Presbyterian board of national missions. The plan is a | part of the general scheme fostered by a laymen's committee of the de- nomination headed by Will Hays, for- mer Postmaster General. The board of foreign missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church re- cefved a total of $3,193,403 for fits educational, evangelistic and medical service in more than 40 countries of the world during the year which ended in October, a report made to the board meeting in Delaware, Ohio, de- clared last week. Education. The Labor Department last week issued a rather discouraging report, at least from the standpoint of teachers. The report places the cost of obtain- ing a degree of doctor of philosophy trom one of the larger universities at $8,000, and shows that after about 18 years of teaching experience the teacher can hope to obtaln salaries in the smaller colleges or universities of about $3,400; in the medium colleges or universities, from $3,600 to $3,700, and in the larger universities and col- leges a salary which mounts to $6,000 at the most.

COOLIDGE RAILWAY PLAN IS OPPOSED Compulsory Mergers Inadvi- sable Now, I. C. C. and State Utility Experts Declare. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Before the desire of President Coolidge for consolidation of railroads of the country, so that the weaker roads could be absorbed by the larger stems, may be fully realized the sch-Cummins raflroad act must be modified substantially. This was the substance of an opinion upon the sub- ject of consolidation given to the President yesterday by a delegation representing the Interstate Commerce Commission and Public Service Com- missions of the States. It was learned upon good authority that the President has been informed that the Interstate Commerce Com- mission is unanimous in opposing any legislation that would attempt to force railroad consolidation, at least not for the present. The commission thinks the railroads should be given several years in which to effect mergers be- fore the Government should think of making the matter mandatory. However, the real nature of the recommendations to the President by this delegation yesterday were not made public. A spokesman for the .President did say later that the topic of discussion was future raflroud legislation and that members of the delegation believe changes in the present railroad act will be necjssary o make voluntary oliaations possible any time in the near future. Coolidge Views Known. President Coolidge is known to be extremely anxious to see the smaller and non-paying transportation lines linked up through consolidation with the more powerful systems. He con- siders this as being necessary to save the weaker lines and to make possi- ble a readjustment of freight rate: He has made known his opinions re garding consolidations on oceasions, and it is understood that he will devote a section in his forth- con & message to Congress lo this subject. Ihe Pr sportation question as one of the important domestic He expects it to be one of the paramount questions that will come betore the next Congress. He us held a number of conferences with enate and House leaders during which the subject was discussed in much detail. It was following one of these recent conferenc with the Executive that Senator Watson of Indiana said that railroad legislation would occupy an important position upon the administration’s legislative program and stated that the tran portation act would be amended so a to permit voluntary consolations for the next six or seven years, after which they would be made mandatory Representations upon the subject de afterward by a spokesman for the President indicated that Senator Watson was reflecting the President’s views, Cummi seve! i really s Favors Delay. President Coolidge lately has been advised by Senator Cummins of Iowa, co-author of the Esch-Cummins tra ation law, who has been ad vocating compulsory consolidations that he is willing now to agree to amending the present law so ) give the roads ample opportunity to merge voluntarily. He also has told the President that the railroads as a whole ure operating at i profit, that 1e of them are making more money should be permitted, while many of the weaker lines are losing money, and that these shouid be con ated as a means of saving the ker lines, thereby making unnec- essary the abandonment of about 50,000 miles of track Those who attended the conference the White House yesterday were C. C. McChord of the Inter- at Judge State Commerce Commission; William | B. Ainey and James S. Benn of the Pennsylvania Public Utlities Commission; A. G. Patterson, chair man of the Alabama Public Utllities Commission and president of the Nu tional Public Utilities Commissioners and H. D. Wells of the Massuchusetts Public Utilities Comnission. The Interstate Commerce Commis. sion has made a comprehensive study of the consolidation question. It has gone thoroughly into the plan pro- posed by Prof. Ripley of Harvard to serve as a tentative basis for general consolidation, and it is understood tc favor the general principles at this time. D. AMERICAN UNIVERSITY NEWSPAPER APPEARS The Eagle to Be Issued Monthly. Debating Society Being Formed at Institution.
