Bill, Tho It Is Admitted Samo
Amendments To Bo Accepted
In Next Three Day's tirlnd
Washington, Nov. 27 Without a
record vote the house today ellml
nated from the administration ship
ping bill a section which " would
have permitted the shipping board
to sell any vessels of the govern
ment merchant , fleet , without ad
vertising or competitive bidding.
Tine motion to strike out tha sec
tion was made . by Representative
Graham, Republican, of Illinois, at
the outset of the three-day fight over
amendments to the measure. As
soon as Mr. (Iraham had concluded a
flve-mlnuto u'tack on the proposition
there were cries from both sides of
the house for a vote. It came a few
minutes later, leaders in chargo of
the legislation making no attempt
to have a stand-up count'.
Mr. Graham declared that he
wanted to support the measure but
Inslted that it had to be so changed
in principle that he could stand for
it. Republicans, he added, should
accept suggestions from their own
side, if they wanted It passed.
"This section ought to be stricken
out," he said amid applause. "J
tell you that the greatest scandal of
the war, as brought by the investi
gating committee, concerned the sale
of .millions of dollars worth of nil--plus
stocks thru negotiated sales that
stlnked to high heaven. I want to
warn Republicans that for every
mistake In judgment by the board in
selling these strips without competi
tive bidding, we us n party be
held 'responsible, The ships ought
to be sold openly so we can go be
fore' the country and defend ft."
While tha House was resinning
consideration of the bill, Chairman
Lasker, of the shipping boni'd, con
sulted with Senator NorrU, of Ne
braska, regarding probnMe Hciinle
action on the measured Hu was in
formed that canvass of Senate tVns
not complete enough to give an Ac
curate line on the situation. Resmb
llcan leaders were said to feel, how
ver, that obstruction would prevent
a Senate Vote before the 67th Con
gress adjourns sine die March t.
Representative Kdwardx, of Penn
sylvania, ranking Kcpubllcan on the
merchant marine committee, told
the House hm would offer an amend
ment to strike out the unction under
'which the Standard Oil company
and other concerns handling their
own produrts In their own ships
would share In the federal. subsidy.
It ought to be In the bill, he added,
but ho wanted the House to decide
the question for itself.
By a vote of 90 to E2 the House
rejected un amendment by Repre
sentative Davis, Democrat, of Ten-,
pessee, which sought to take -from
the shipping board jurisdiction over
the disposition of vessels by the pur
chasers. 4t Washington. , Nov. ,27 The first
leal test of .strength for tho admin
istration shipping bill was looked for
today when the measure was laid
before the House for proposed
changes to h offered and disposed
of before final passage Wednesday
night. Republican leaders were con
fident, however, that the bill would
go thru, not only by a safe mariln,
but without radical modification. Op
ponents of ' the legislation on the
other hand, assorted administration
leaders would have to marshal their
full strength Wednesday to avoid
dafeat. :
The rule permitting 'unlimited
amendment, under which the mens-,
ure is to be considered for three days,
beginning today, was made by the
rules committee, according to the
announcement of Charles Campbell,
of the committee, for the purpose of
giving the House an opportunity to
shape the sort of shipping bill It
would be willing to pass and stand
upon.

Raleigh. Nov. 27 (Special) The
North Carolina Teachers' Assembly
which meets here thla week will
have its first sessions Wednesday
evening, but the county superintend
ents will meet Tuesday.
The Wilson teachers precipitated a
mall diiiuusslon a few weeks ago
by resolving unanimously to have as
secretary a regular teacher. Jul
B. Warren, who once taught In Gas
tonia and then did newspaper work
Jn Durham and Raleigh, is now, di
recting the publicity and the organi
zation work of the assembly.
Whether thor will be any further
assault on ths office, Is not known,
The attack woe In nowle personal,
but was class consciousness which
probably grew nut of class misunder
standing. There will be plenty of
Warren champions when the fight i
precipitated.

second time will elect a woman as
president. Miss Mary Owen Gra

"was president" in 1916, and Miss
Elizabeth Kelly will be elected this
year. Rev. I. A. Paul Bagby, of

The astronomer said hi theory
