ment on the petition for the disso

Payne Wants Ships
Returned to Owners
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, March 12.—Chair
man Payne of the shipping board,
this afternoon testified before the
Senate Commerce Committee that
X most of ' his recent activities have
been with a view to getting the ves
selfs of the board into:the hands of
private owners.
Payne's statement was in response
to questions by Senator Jones, Re
publican, Washington, chairman of
the committee,
Chairman Payne also stated it was
his belief the ships “should be put
into private operation as soon as
practicable.” He expressed the view
it would not be desirdble for Con
gress by legislation to direct when
the ships shoult bé sold or the prices
and terms. %
+ “I should say, though, that Con
‘gress should give .expression to the
policy that the ships should be sold
as soon as compatible with the pub
& lic interest. 1 don’t believe it is
ossible to establish a permanently
uccessful merchant marine owned
\ the government.”
hip Sale Fought
By General Wood
(By International News Service.)
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., March 12—
Under no circumstances should the
United States allow its 15,000,000 tons
of deadweight shipping be sold to
foreign countries, Maj. Gen. L.eonard
Wood declared in an address at the
Columbia Club here this afternoon.
Outlining his = platform, = General
Wood declared, “we want to build up
& good merchant marine with the
navy behind it.
“We never had such an onportunity
{2 drive ahead our business,” he said.
"'-"e want {o take advantag: of the
14,000,000 ions of deadw:gint shir.
ping we have and put it under the
American tlag, Under no circum
stances allow. it to be. sold to- for
eign countries.”
Declaring himself in favor of Im
mediate ratification of the peace
treaty reservations, General Wood sx
pressed the hope that “‘we shall ap
preve the l.eague of Nuations with
rescrvations which will Amerjcan
ige it.” The “big thing,” he said, is
to “save the machinery which will
enable the people to get. around .the
table and talk things over before they
Tbegin to fight.”
It had been expected General Wood
would comment on reports that in the
event of his nomination for Presi
w dent, Will Hays, Republican national
chairman, would be ousted in favor
of Frank Hitchcock. His only ref
'crence to Hays, however, was a word
of commendation for the chairman’s
« "“devotion” t> the party “whose suc
cessß he believed is essential so tie
®est interests of the nation.” ‘

Baby Helen Gurgles

By PEGGY WELLS.’
Baby Helen is only 19 months
old, but she is a really, truly speed
fiend.
Any sunny day you will find her
on the driver’'s seat of the Grady
Hespital ambulance with Driver
Rawson or Trammell as they dash
through theé streets of Atlanta on
their emergency calls\ Gurgling
happily and her blue eyes trying
to see all that is of interest as
she dashes along, Helen is un
aware of the tragedy that con
stantly lurks at the call of the
ambulance.
Helen’s last name is Nunn and
~ her mother is a nurse at Battle
Hill Sanitarium. Helen has been
a patient at Grady Hospital since
last September and has won the
hearts of all the nurses and at
~ tendants because of her smiles and
her sweet disposition.
~ .A short time ago the physicians
~ decided that Helen needed more
fresh air than sh= was getting in
~ her little crib in the glass en
~ closed baby ward on the roof of
. the hospital.. But there was no
baby carriage or no one to take
‘ baby out for a quiet airing.
| So the: ambulance drivers vol-
T unteered to take her with them
~ each day, if the nurses would get
her fixed up warm and cozy. And
' Helen is perfectly delighted with
~ the arrangements. The bell calls
~ forth the gurgles of delight and
she waves her arms excitedly
! when the ambulance dashes madly
i through the streets. Helen is no
- scary female.
| And the roses are coming back
’ into the wan cheeks while Helen
\ sits like a little soldier by the side
of the driver of the Grady ambu

compromise on Article X was of

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 12
—The Newberry vote fraud and con-
Ispiracy trial, involving Senator New
berry and eighty-four co-defendants,
may be declared a mistrial, with a
\new trial of the case to follow at
'some future time, as the result of
jthe collapse on the witness stand to
lday of Paul H. King, manager of the
i!\'ewberry senatorial campaign and
|star witness for the defense. ‘
, King was carried from the court
room after an attempt to face the
savage cross-examination of the gov
ernment attorneys. He took the wit
ness stand when the day’'s sesston
opened, despite his weakened condi
tion due to a nervous collapsé three
days ago :
In the, event King can not again
take the witness stand, it means
either a mistrial will be called by
Judge Sessions, or all of King's tes
timony will be stricken qQut and the

! In fact, the case for Senator New

[shrink to no case at all.
The scene in the courtroom while

| dramatic in_the extreme. He en

{O. Murfin and Dr. James B. Brad
iley, a fellow defendant, and with the
]grea(est difficulty walked to the
| stand, nearly falling as he reached
]th(' jury box.
i Like a tired, sleepy child, he was
Ilil’tvd to his seat, where he rested for
;& moment with a dazed look on his
| face. Then his smile came, and
lamid utter silence Mr. Murfin arose
and announced that another defense
|attorney had several questions to ask
on direct examination, |
“Ask me questions I can answer
‘ves' or ‘no’,”” he murmured weakly, |
i He answered one or two questiona‘
ivaguply, moving back and forth in a |
| desperate effort to fight off increas
|ing faintness. Suddenly his head
went down on his arm. His face
| turned to one side, still showing his
'smiln, Then, in a state of almost
| complete collapse, he seized the hand‘
‘of the court reporter and clung to it.
Judge Sessions called a recess, the

. It was believed also that J. H.

abide by instructions sent them
from international headquarters. In
these instruction the men were told
that the international headquarters
did not sanction the strike. ;

chairman of the board of the Geor

declined to comment on the situa

MAYOR GRATEFUL,
Mayor Key, reclining on a couch
in his office, ill from the strain of
numerous conferences on the situa-"

strikers’ decision:
“1 wish to say as mayor that I am
very grau;]ul to the men for their
consideration for the public. I am
sure they have made no mistake.”
A meeting of the executive council
of the Atlanta Federation of Trades

opposed. Word came, however, that
the strikers had begun a vote on the
proposal to return to work, and de
