.+ News of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 Schiff Insists Republic- Midvale-Inland Docu- ments Are Private Property—Denies Mor- gan Influence Witness and Lockwood Committee Lawyer Wordy Wrangle—Former Threatened With Jail. in New York, June 3.—Mortimer L. Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb and Co. today declined to produce documents relat- ing to the Republic-Midvale-Inland Steel merger, which the Lockwood legislative committee ordered him to turn over to them. His refusal was based on a claim that the papers were private docu- ments which the committee had no power to acquire. When Mr. Schiff sought to qualify this refusal by saying he would con- sult. counsel about the advisability of complying with the request, Samuel Untermyer, countel for the commit- tee, asked if he would produce the papers if directed to do so by the committee chairman. “I won't decline, and I won't say yes,” was the reply. Denies Morgan Influence. In negotiating the merger, the wit- ness declared, he had not conversed with J. P. Morgan, or made any in- quiries whether the merger would be agreeable to him or to the U. S. Steel Corp. Mr. Schiff ftequently resented the form of Mr. Untermyer's questions. Once he appealed to Chairman Lock- wood, when asked about ‘“creating a market” for stock of the merged cor- poration and shouted: Hot Words Pass. “Mr. Chairman, I refuse to answer. If you don’t call your attorney to or- der I won't answer and will take my chances.” “You'll take your chances and go to jail,” Untermyer interrupted before Mr. Lockwoed couid answer. “And you'll go with me,” declared Schift. At this point Mr. Untermyer wnrned the witness, “you're not in your oamk now, Mr. Schiff.” “No, and you are not in your of- fice,” was the sharp retort. Details of Stock Plan. Schiff then explained that the stock in the new steel corporation was to be put at $90 a share for preferred and $43 for common, to a total of $45,- 600,000. Kuhn, Loeb and Co. was to receive 59,5600 shares of common stock at 810 a share for negotiating the merger. The syndicate to negotiate the stock was to receive 86 per cent of the profits on stock sales, and Kuhn, Loeb and Co. 15 per cent. It also was brought out that stock in the merged concern was marketed on the curb yesterday at $50 a share, subject to issue.

The CUSTODY OF llAUliHTER Mother, Hm_vever, Still Has Hopes Marriage Will Not Take Place Chicago, June 3.—The court fight against Mathilde MecCormick’s inter- national marriage to Max Oser ended abruptly in less than two minutes’ proceedings in probate court today, when Mrs..

Cutting that the petition be dismissed without question and added that Harold F. McCormick, divorced | husband of Mrs. McCormick would be appointed Mathilde's legal guard- ian without further delay. He made it plain, however, that he would expect the father to execute his trust “as a guardian and a parent should,” and that he also would ex- pect Mr. McCormick to ‘take into consideration all the points in Mrs. McCormicks answer” which was inter- preted as a warning that Mr. Mec- Cormick should consider very care- fully his attitude toward Mathilde's marriage to Oser, The petition withdrawn by Attorney Cutting today was contained in Mrs. McCormick's answer to the applica- tion of her daughter for appointment of Mr. McCormick as Mathilde's legal guardian. The answer charged that Oser sought the marriage, hoping to obtain “large sums of money and financial gain” and deplored the disparity m‘ ages between the two.

BOOZE LADEN TUG HELD IN BROOKLY. Fleet of Motor Boats, Seeking Whis- key Supply Escape Through Barrage of Shots. New York, June 3.—Federal prohi- bition agents early today seized the ocean going tug Ripple in the har- bar off Brooklyn, arrested 12 mem- bers of her crew and fired 30 pistol shots at nearly a score of launches which had gathered to take off a cargo of liquor. As the agents had no craft, the launches escaped. The tug, which was used as a mine layer during the war, arrived off Am- brose light three days ago but waited until last night before attempting to slip into the harbor. According to the agents the tug communicated by wireless with a bootlegge¥'s wireless station giving the time of her arrival. Under protec- tion of fog, the Ripple sneaked up through the Narrows and launches soon appeared, acting as a convoy. Seven agents disguised as long- shoremen, located the tug near the| Erie Basin. The agents said they saw | cases of liquor, wrapped in burlap| transferred from the tug to a lighter. At a signal the agents who mean- while had been reinforced by a detail | of ‘police, rushed for the tug. The ! lookout shouted a warning and the fleet of motorboats scurried in all di- rections while the agents emptied ‘heir pistols at them. When the agents climbed on boardi the tug they said they saw the crew| throwing rifles into the waten There was a hand to hand struggle before the crew was arrested. Andrew Macili, who said he was pilot of the Ripp!é told the agents his craft had been held up on the| high seas by bootlegging craft and robbed of 250 cases of liquor’ before the seizure here. The Ripple, he said left New York May 17 for the Baha- | mas, but soon met a British ship from which they transferred 1,500 cases of liquor. i The bootleg bandits got the drop on ! them two days later according to the pilot. The liquor seized here was valued at $65,000. RAILROAD STRIKE NOW THREATENING NATION Impending Wage Slashes Will Probably Result in YVote on Question i Chicago, June 3.

Seattle, June 3 (By Assoclated Press)—When Captain Roald Amund- sen's exploration ship Maud sails from Elliot Bay here today for her long voyage through the ice packs of the uncharted North Polar basin, one of the most complete and extensive scientific expeditions ever undertaken in that region will get under way. The expedition is a resumption of the effort, begun by Captain Amund- sen in 1918 under auspices of the Norwegian government to drift past the North Pole with the ice floes, minutely studying phenomena of a vast area never before visited by white man, and to secure data which the explorer expects may revolution- ize present day meteorological and oceanographical knowledge in the northern hemisphere. Has Wireless Outfit. The first effort met with delay in 1920 when the Maud lost a propeller in the ice off the northeastern Si- berian coast and was forced to put into Seattle for repairs. Recently the vessel has undergone complete over- ;haulmg and additional equipment in- cluding two airships, a long range wireless outfit and many precise scientific instruments, has been added Ito the complement. Scientific Expedition. The expedition, Captain Amundsen has repeatedly declared is primarily a scientific one and while he hopes |to reach the North Pole—he discov- ered the South Pole in 1911—the {study of ocean and magnetic currents, the drift of the ice pack and move- ments of the air will ba his first ob- | jective. Special investigation will be made to determine whether land exists in the {neighborhood of the pole as some |oceancgraphers, basing their belief on |sudden shifts in Polar ocean currents, have maintained. Much attention will be given to the ocean itself and through holes bored in the ice scientists of the expedition will measure the depth of the water, direction and strength of submarine currents and take samples from dif- ferent levels for chemical anaiysis. To Cover Million Square Miles. The two airships—one capable of carrying nine passengers and the other a three seater—and the wireless out- | fit the exporer deems the most im- portant items of the vessel's equip- ment. With the planes—the ‘“‘eyes of the ship” he will make an intensive exploration of the huge area of al- most a million square miles covering the “roof of the world.” The larger plane will be used for the more ex- tensive investigations while the scout |plane will fly in the immediate vi- cinity of the vessel.
