TALK ON SNIP
‘JOY RIOE’ IS
ILL POLITICS
However Controversy Over
Leviathan May Have
Wide Effect.
BOARD IS “IN WRONG”
Even If It Proves Facts It
Will Not Be Abie to
Erase Impression.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
Copyright hj Tr San Antonio Light
Washington. D. C.. .lune 19. —The
trial trip of the Levin'han which be-
gins today is a political as well as
nautical event.
The row between the Democratic
national committee and the United
States Shipping Board over what has
been termed "a million dollar joy ride”
is the first controversy under govern-
ment operation of ships which has
developed a political quarrel and if it
results in a congressional investigation
or is made the subject of continued
political discussion the chances arc
that the whole course of the American
merchant marine in the.future will be
vitally affected.
The big point in the controversy
is whether the :hipping board is to
be permitted to do things witu gov-
ernment money as private lines do
with their own funds. Trial trips
are taken by till big liners. Guests
are invited and rile free. It’s a part
of the good will and advertising cam-
paigns of all shipping companies. But
it isn’t usual for the government to
give away anything flee except seeds
so there has been a great ileal of cri-
ticism about the “j.nket" snd even
though he shipping boaid insists the'
total costs of the guests will be only
thirteen thousand dollars instead of
a million dollars still the fact that
anyone gets something gratis is
brought .nto the question.
May Affect Advertising.
Wbat some of he shipping board
people now are beginning to fear is
that a sentiment may be built up
which will influence congress in its
appropriations for the shipping board
in the future. If objection is made
to the expenditure of $1300C for in-
vited guests as an indirect advertis-
ing stunt objection might be made to
the million dollars spent annually by
the United States shipping board in
paid advertising in newspapers and
magazines. All the shipping lines
owned by private concer' s spend it
is estimated about three or four mil-
lion dollars a year in advertising and
the shipping board here feels it must
ndvertiseef it wishes to compete for
ptssangir iravel.
The merits of the controversy over
the trial trip have very little to do
with what may become a political pre-
judice against operating the United
Statu Shipping Board as a private
concern would operate a fleet of
passenger and freight vessels.
Briefly the arguments for mid
against .he trial trip of the Leviathan
are these:
Arguments and Answers.
First—lt is .unnecessary because a
trip has been taken from Newport
News to Boston. The answer of the
shipping hoard to this is that the
ship could not be operated at full
power until after she had certain re-
pairs made in dry docks and that the
experts from the start—nearly two
years ago—have fanned a fial trip.
Second—That if guests had to be
taken the shipping board might have
taken some of the wounded soldiers.
To this the board makes answer that
it is not preparing the Leviathan for
Jio^pital service and does not feel it
should undertake the care and respon-
sibility >f the sick men when the trial
trip itself will |>e a series of fire
drills lite boat drills mid mechanical
speed tests. The object of the trip
is to break in the <iew and stewards
for service on a regular north At-
lantic voiage and that training would
not be secured in attending convales-
cent soldier.-.
Third —The months of May and
Juuc have been lost by delays when
money might have been ninth- for the
government in the tourist trade. The
answer made by the Shipping Board
is that the <ontractors who recondi-
tioned ’be vessel couldn't get it fin-
ished by June 111 and t'-at the shipping
boarti was unable to get n berth

Thompson daughter of the American
ambassador to the Court of St.
James's as his dancing partner.
for the Leviathan in Southampton
earlier than July 11 so that the first
sailing date from America was set
for July 4.
Couldn't Erase Impression.
If the arguments between the poli-
tical committee and the shipping board
involve technical facts and even if
the shipping board were proved right
in its contention this would not erase
the impression that a joyrode is being
undertaken. The trouble is the gov-
ernment hasn't done this sort of thing
even though private concerns have al-
ways done it. The Leviathan itself
when it was known as the Vaterlaud
arrived from Germany on her first
trial* trip with hundreds of newspa-
per men and business men riding free.
As for the partisan feeling in the
matter the Democratic national com-
mittee hasn't forgotten the way the
Republicans behaved when I’-esident
Wilson went to Paris and spent a mil-
lion collars in expenses for the Ameri-
can peace ..lission. The late Senator
Penrose had a lot of fun with the
episode in the senate and many news-
papers cast knowing looks about the
free meals and entertainment given
in Paris and an audit whs demanded
by a senate resolution of the “presi-
dential 'unket to Paris ”
So the facts have little to do with
the ease end political committees
would go out of business if they didn’t
have something t<* criticise “special-
ly in mid-summer days when campaign
ammunition is scant.
VILLAREAL CHARGES
OBREGON IS TRYING
TO THROW ELECTION
Issues Manifesto Saying He
Is Also Picking Next
President.
Gen. Antonio I. Villareal an avow-
ed jMtlitcal enemy of the Obregon rov-
ernment who. it is reported has the
baiking nf the Madero government
liH' published a public signed mani
festo Rfcusiuß President Obregon of
being determined ofjmi»osing (he next
president upon the Mexican people.
He also accuse** the Obregon govern-
ment of defrauding the citizenship of
the stare of Nuevo Leou* his native
fate of their suffrage as he cinphat-
ically Mates that in the recent state
election Gen. Porfirio Gonzales rc-
veived the highest number of votes and
next was Alfredo Perez and the last
one in the race was (’apt. ?aron Saenz
a former < urrancista diplomat.
Saenz through the influence of Al-
berto Fani. ha? been acting as a chief
clerk in the foreign relations depart-
ment. and it is alleged has the back-
ing of Gpii. Plutarco Elias <’alies who
is determined to seat SnAz as the gov-
ernor of Nuevo Jjeon although he was
the lowest humi.
President Obregon the manifesto
says has sent for Gen. Porfirio Gon-
zales and Elias Calles has sent Prieto
Laurenz and several other radical con-
gressmen for the pur|M>se of inducing
the >tate. .legislature of Nuevo Leon
in canvassing the returns to throw out
all votes except those cast for Saenz
and declare him elected.
Obregon lias personally taken notice
of the Villareal charges and has issued
a statement that he has no candidate
for the presidency and that he does
not intend to have any army official
back any candidate for the presidency
tint that it is to be a free-for-all fight
without any government imposition.
Obregon dors ma refer to the Nuevo
Loon governorship embroglio at all
but dismisses it with the statement
that the votes have not yet been can-
vassed.

PROSTRATIONS AND
DEATH IN WAKE OF
TORRID HEAT WAVE
No Relief in Sight as List
of Hot Weather Victims
Mounts Up.
Chicago. June 19.—Si*»nt relief was
in prospect today from the hot weath-
er in many of the southwestern east
central and gulf states. Official fore-
casts as a whole predicted generally
unsettled weather with little change
in temperature.
The hem wave descended early yes-
terday. taking a toll of death and pros-
trations. |t hnd been forming for
some time the weather bureau report-
ed. over tiie central and southern part
of the United Suites and is here to
stay for a while.
In Ghicabo seven deaths were at-
tributed indirectly to the heat. A num-
bers of persons were prostrated and
thousands were driven to the bathing
beaches by a record 91degree temper-
ature. Violent thunderstorms in Min-
nesota and Wisconsin failed to abate
the sizzling heat in that section of
the country. The maximum tempera-
ture at Sr. Paul. Minn. was 84 and
that at Milwaukee 90. At St. Louis.
Mo. one man died from heat prostra-
tion. the record here for the day be-
ing 90 degrees.
The hottest points in the United
States were El Paso. Tex. mid Phoe-
nix Ariz.. both of whi' h reported high
temperatures of 96. Temperatures of
90 degrees and above wore common
and there were few cities which es-
capd with experiencing 80 anil
higher. •
The East also got its portion of hot
weather. Parkersburg. W. Vn.. Phila-
delphia. Pittsburg and Raleigh. N. C..
recording 90 degrees or more.
The Pacific coast and sections of
the mountain belt experienced no dis-
comfort.
Steel Officials Indicted.
Buffalo. N. Y„ June 19—Indict-
ments charging violation of the corpor-
ation laws were voted today against
six officers and former officers of the
bankrupt L. R. Steel Corporation by
the county grand jury.
