CAPITAL AFTER MAR. 4 Will Sell 257 Wooden Ships, Ly ing in James" River, Va., at $25,000 Each WASHINGTON. Feb. 17. "Th ship ping board must wine out its overhead expenses before the American merchant marine can successfully compete with foreign shipping Interests." Chairman Fenson declarer! tonight before the house committee investigating the board's activities. Discussing policies worked out under his direction, he said particular efforts had been made to cut down expenses. Until they are reduced to a roek bot tom basis, he said, the government merchant fleet would be seriously han dicapped. Wheiv he became chairman, the wit less continued, he was impressed by the fact that the shipping board's person nel was unnecessarily large, and took immediate steps to cut down the num ber of employes. Offices have been abolished or consolidated, the commit tee was informed, and no appointments made or salaries increased until ap proved by the chairman. Chairman Walsh of the committee asked about rumors involving R. W. Boiling, brother-in-law of President Wilson, who is treasurer of the board. Chairman Benson said Mr. Boiling had come to him saying an attempt was being made to create the impression he was guilty of wrong-doing. ."I was satisfied, after talking with him," said the admiral, "that therewas absolutely no basis for such rumors, but later on hearing similar reports from other source.4?, I instructed the head of the board's division of investi gation to go into the matter thorough ly. He did so, and reported there was no grounds whatever for the rumor." Admiral Benson also declared there was no basis for the statement-of- Col. K. H.v Abadie, former comptroller gen eral, before the committee, that "he had been "railroaded"' out of his position by Martin J. Gillen, former executive as sistant to the chairman. . iiet'erring to the board's fleet of 257 wooden ships, tied up in the James rivor, Virginia, the chairman said he was. convinced they never could be op erated profitably by American compa nies. "Negotiations are in progress, he Hdded, for their sale at $25,000 each. Advocates Disbandmtnt of the National Woman's Party Organization Row Started in Democratic Na tional Committee Has Been Smoothed Over WASHINGTON, Feb. .17. Members of congress who, she said, b.ad opposed appropriations for local community centers on the ground that tney were breeding unret, were warmly taken to task by Miss Margaret -Wilson, daugh ter of the President, In an address at today's session of the national woman's j party convention here. Declaring there was no evidence to support the charge, Miss Wilson assert ed that, even granting there was such evidence, it was "not the business of congress to supervise the activities of speech of those they represent," but it was the "business of the courts to try the individuals who have broken the law." Adding there had also been expres sions of opposition in congress to the use of schools by community center or ganizations for dancing, Miss Wilson asked: "Granting that we haw a moral right to use the school buildings, is it any of their business what we do in them, whether we listen to socialist speeches or whether we dance?" Speaking as a representative of the national community center organiza tion, Miss Wilson declared more could be accomplished- toward true self-gov-renment'and necessary- social reforms by the. organisation of local groups into co-operative, thinking bodies than through the workings of party organ isations. On this ground aha advised immediate disbandment of the nation al woman's party, which, she said, Was not in a broad sense' "non-partisan" but "exclusive? .and organized fof the pur pose of" "building up a woman's ma chine," which Would not be "more hon est or effective than a man's machine." Prior to Mies Wilson's address, how ever, the executive committee of the national woman's party bad placed be fore the convention a recommendation that the organization be cpntinued, though reorganized under another name and with a new executive board. It will be acted upon by the convention tomorrow. NARCOTIC AGENT HELD FOR MANY VIOLATION Embezzlement, Extortion arid v Conspiracy Are Charged IIOANOKE, Va., Feb. 17.

Godwin will not return to the Sixth district at the end of his term in congress, but will remain here And practice law. He is to be associated with Guy T. Helvering, for mer congressman from Kansas, and his office will be in the Southern build ing. Mr. Godwin owns a beatuiful home on Connecticut avenue in the Cleve land park neighborhood. Messrs. God win and Helvering will make a spe cialty of departmental matters, the in ternal revenue and other bureaus Mr. Godwin was defeated for renom ination last summer by Homer Lyon of Whiteville, who comes here March 4. The row started in the Democratic national committee by Thomas B. Love, of Texas, and Robert W. Woolley, of this city, blew over today. Angus Wilton McLean, national committeeman from North Carolina, acted as peace maker and harmonizer. "I think," said Mr. McLean tonight, "the friction on the committee will quiet down and we will have har mony. It was the concensus of opinion of the executive committee that it is too early to call a meeting of the full committee. This is not the proper time for such a gathering. It was stated there today by friends of Mr. William Glbbs McAdoo that he had nothing to do with the appeal for the March 1 meeting. This was asserted by Messrs. Love and Woolley as well as others." Mr. McLean thinks the Democrats now will settle down to watch the Republicans have a fight. VON TIRP1TZ TALKS OF AMERICAN NAVAL PLAN Says This Country Must Build Great Navy to Protect Its Commerce ST. BLASIBN, Baden. Feb. 16. (By Associated Press.) Admiral Von Tlr pitz, the German naval authority, in the course of an interview today, dis cussed tb- American naval program and its reference to the prospective relations of the United States with Great Britain and Japan. "The United States is about to build a great fleet," said the admirai; "as the country borders on both the At lantic and Pacific oceans and lacks outlying naval bases, America will probably give special attention to the radius of actien of her ships. That holds good equally for surface ships such as battleships and battle cruisers and for submarines and air crafts, both dirigibles and airplanes. In creating a havey, Americans should remember that the great decision lies not with coast defenses but in open sea." . Admiral Von Tirpits contrasted America's poaition today with that of Germany a few years ago, and said: "America's great industr)' erowtn and the consequent Increase or her merchant marine require increase of the navy, and it is my belief that America will not make the mistake Germany did of trusting the life and prosperity of its commerce and in dustry merely to 'the brotherly feel ing of the English. It is all very well to regard the brotherhood of nations as a distant aim worth striving for, but meantime Providence has ordained a rivalry in order to keep alive ,the Impulse for national advancement. Whether they Ilk it or nbtthe United States will be forced to give their in ternational trade a solid protection, either through their own power or through gaining political friends."
