WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—Charles
Forbes has written Attorney General '■
, Daugherty daring his to prosecute him
for irregularties while in charge of 1
the Veterans’ Bureau, and threatening 1
to present evidence which will cause a 1
greater upheaval in Government cir- (
cles than was caused by the testimony 1
at the Senate inquiry. j t)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 —Congress
may pass a law requiring all Ameri
can officials, diplomats, consuls and
agents to travel on American ships in
the future.
This is the likely seque^to the In
cident which has just aroused the
senate in connection with the discov
ery that the American Bar Associa_
tion did not buy passage for its mem
bers on an American ship, but gave
the business to a foreign steamship
line.
While Congress has no control over
private bodies like the American Bar
Association, it can compel people on
the Federal payroll to travel on ships
owned by American firms.
The shipping board has again and
again been confronted abroad with
the humiliating argument that if the
American officials do not consider
their own ships worth patronizing
why should any one else do so. At
present it will be a simple thing for
congress to attach a rider to all ap
propriation bills where travel is in
volved requiring that passage be en
gaged on American ships where such
vessels sail to the destinations to
which the journey on official business
is to be made.
The general effect, however, of
such a stipulation in appropriation
bills would be to make American offi
cials patronize their own fleet and the
impression resulting therefrom would
be beneficial to the American busi
ness as a whole.
WASHINGTON, Jan 10—The dead
lock in the Senate over the election

feat for the Republican party which

a chairman for the Interstate Com

seen nullified by a small party of re
publicans who have joined the demo
crats in holding back legislation.
