• SHIPPING BE
DENOUNCED IN
ENGLISH PAPER
LONDON, Aug. 6 (by Associated
Press).—The Jones bill, characterized
as “America's bid for shipping su
^emacy,” is denounced by the ship
ping expert of the Sunday Observer
as “retaliatory and discriminatory.”
^ He delares that the war has taught
other nations the importance of own
ing a mercantile marine and that
jealousy has been aroused through
out the world by the “ability and
magnificence” of the British mercan
tile establishment. “In two coun
tries,” he asserts, “in particular, is
a feeling of bitter jealousy against
our mercantile marine. These two
countries are France and the United
States.”
g^The writer declares that there is
nothing to which foreigners can ob
ject in the principal provision of the
Jones bill insofar as it is intended to
co-ordinate the transport resources of
the United States whether ocean,
coastwise or inland shipping, rail
ways, ports and docks so as to form
one immense undertaking to force
American export trade into the holds
of American ships.
^ He says, however, that some of the
clauses of the bill were intended tc
be discriminatory against Great Bri
tain and Japan. Among these he
mentions those which authorize pre
ferential treatment to American ves
sels in American ports. The insur
-■% ance provisions of the bill, he says,
impose the most drastic forms of re
turns, “which are based absolutely
upon the methods of the German in
surance companies, against which
America herself protested so bitter
ly previous to her entry into the
war. These have been devised ad
mittedly for the purpose of learning
every iota of business transacted by
foreign companies with a veiw to
passing the same on to American
concerns. The object of course is
that, having this information, the gov
ernment may oust the American com
*■ pany entirely to assist the British in
surance.
“In the same vein is the clause
which waives in favor of American
insurance companies, the Sherman an
ti-trust law. This is entirely on'a par
with the methods adopted by the
Sripping Board during the war when
it ^transpired the confidential in
mation given to the Shipping Board
solely for the puprpose of the war
was being used to enable American
shipping to defeat British shipping
after the war.
“We in this country now know that
we are to be faced with the most
bitter supreamacy of the seas that
we have ever had to meet. We are
in for a big fight, but before Ameri
ca can win the fight she must create
a national feeling for a mercantile
marine. She must prepare to pay
considerably higher freight and insur
apce rates on all she imports and ex
perts and she must be willing to fore
go profits on her shipping enterprises
for many years. The person who is
most willing to feel the pinch of Amer
ica’s ambitions will be the American
exporter.”

IRISH COURTS
EXTEND AREA
OF OPERATION
DUBLIN, Aug. 6 (by Associated
Press).—The Sinn Fein courts in Ire
land continue to extend the area and
nature of their operations. Among the
cases tried have been those of libel
and slander, of judicial separation of
the unhappily married, and of seduc
tion. These were on the eivil side. On
the criminal side all sorts of offenses
are tried. As a rule the persons
charged think it safer to turn up and
take their chance of punishment. But
in most cases they do not get any
option in the matter. In a case in
County Clare the person charged was
a local magistrate, accused of trespass.
He ignored the summons and refused
to recognize the jurisdiction of the
Sinn Fein court. The volunteers cap
tured him and carried him off to an
unknown destination and the military
are now guarding his house.
The Sligo asylum committee is real
radical on Sinn Fein. It has decided
that the Sinn Fein flag shall be per
manently flown over the asylum. They |
have vested in the Irish volunteers the j
task of conveying lunatics to the insti-j
tution, and left the power of commit-,
ting lunatics to the Sinn Fein arbitra
tion assisted by a local doctor.
The Kerry county council has de
cided to refuse to insert advertise
ments in local papers unless they j
agree to publish reports in the Irish |
language of the council’s proceedings. |

RELATIVE OF PRESIDENT
NO MAHER WHO WINS
SANTA ANA, Cal., Aug. 6 (by Asso

are claiming that this city is the home
of the relative of the next president of
the United States. A sister and niece
of Senator Harding, the Republican
nominee, reside here, as does Mrs.
Maudene Blackburn, whose father was
a first cousin to Governor Cox, the
Democratic nominee.

CARS READY TO
MOVE KANSAS
WHEAT CROP
TOPEKA, Aug. 6 (by Associated
Press).—An increase in the number
of cars made available for the ship
ment of wheat >to the market is af
fording some relief to Kansas far
mers in the problem of marketing
their grain, according to state offi
cials and bankers interested in the
wheat movement.
Although there not yet enough cars
to move all the wheat, and many
cars promised by the i^ter-state com
merce commission have not arrived,
and railroad officials are unable to
give any definite assurance as to
when they will arrive, the car short
age is not so desperate pow as it has
been in the past two years.
Officials of the state board of agri
culture estimate that there are still
stored on Kansas farms 22,000,000
bushel’s of last year’s wheat crop, and
an additional 8,000,000 bushels of last
year’s wheat crop in Kansas eleva
tors. A perceptible movement of this
“hold-over crop” is now reported by
the state board of agriculture.
There remains, however, the vast
ly greater problem of moving this
year’s wheat crop variously estimat
ed at 110,000,000 to 135,000,000 bush
els to the great milling and export
centers.
Bankers are vitally concerned in
the wheat movement problem. Ac
cording to J. R. Anspaugh, secretary
of the Kansas State Banker’s Asso
ciation, bankers have $65,0000,000 tied
up in loans on crops awaiting mar
keting. Many of these loans are long
overdue, and the prospects are th"
the amount involved in crop loans
will reach $100,000,000 with the ripen
ing of the present wheat crop.
Some relief has been obtained, Mr
Anspaugh said, from the recent an
nouncement of the federal reserve
board that it favored extension of
crop loans, and the fact that the fed
eral reserve banks had been author
ized to aecept wheat paper from mem
ber banks or from other banks
through correspondents.
Failroad officials have warned the
farmers of their inability to move the
new wheat crop promptly and urged
them to make arrangements to held if
on farms properly stacked or in bins.
FUR BEARING SEALS
TRAVEL NORTHWARD
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6 (by As
sociated Press).—The lookout at the
Farallone islands, 30 miles off this
port, reported the other day a large
herd of fur bearing seals traveling
northward. This is believed to be the
great seal herd which departs each
year at the beginning of the summer
from Alaskan waters. Where the seals
go on this exodus experts of the Unit
ed States bureau of fisheries have
never been able to determine.
