Shipping Was at Peak Before
1861 Over 1,000,000
Gross Tons Lost Dur

By A. D. LASKER.
ARTICLE t.
The first act passed by the Ameri
can congress was one that made the
tariffs lower on goods when ship- ;
ped in American bottoms than when
shipped under foreign flags. This
was done to encourage American
shipping.
From the time of the union of our
original 13 coastal states until the
civil war one of the leading industries
in America was shipping. Through
our superior ability in the construe- j
tion of ships and the proximity of
our raw materials for wooden ships
(which were the only ships of those
days) America's sea annals of that
period constitute a proud page in the
history of the republic. Our clipper
fleet, made up of the fastest sailing
ships.the world ever knew, remain im
mortally sung in the words of our
poets. '

By the close of that War we had lost

which we entered the war. if-
Great Britain's , close connection
withvthc south, because of its need
of cotton, is of coure a historical fact.
Our civil war weakened America's
sea competition and the opportunity
thus created was eagerly seized by
Great Britain. We cannot quarrel
with Britain for her attitude; it was,
from her national standpoint, a prop
er one. But the fact remains that
while the civil war welded the United
States together on land, it ' marked
America's practical disappearance
from the seas for over half a century.1
However, there were several major
factors that contributed to our will
ingness to neglect our merchant ma
rine after the close of the civil war.
Among these was the development
of our rich central and far west,
which had really begun with the find
ing of gold in California in 1848.
Capital Turns From Sea.
Not only was the adventuresome
youth lured west of the Allcghenies,
but capital found such better oppor
tunity for profit in the development
of our rich empire than in the mari

point of men and money, America
turned from the coast to inland de
velopment. '
At the same time the iron ship was

was not in a position to build iron

Change in
Versailles
Pact Sought
Advice of Morgan to Reduce
Reparations Bill Makes
Revision of Treaty
Necessary.
Deadlock Is Expected
Capyrishl lt.
Paris, June 4. A revision of the
treaty of Versailles is being fought
over the week end in the four great
est chancellories of Europe and it
will come up at a tpecial meeting of
the reparations commission next
Tuesday.
1 he advice given by J. F. Morgan
to the allied governments yesterday
to reduce the 132.000,000,000 gold
marks ($33,000,000,000) reparations
bill aud also reduce the allied forces
on the Rhine for economy, means the
revision of two essential themes- of
the Versailles treaty. The allied 'gov
ernments have decided to reply to
the bankers through their reparations
delegates who will meet on Tuesday.
It will be a momentous day in the
history of Europe.
Deadlock Expected.
The British and Italian govern-
ments will surely vote in the affirm
ative and the French and Belgian
governments in the negative. The
allied reply to the bankers will mean
an allied deadlock.
In the face of the allied deadlock
which will hold up the final settle
ment of the reparations problem and
consequently the economic future of
all Europe, the potential authority of
America in the question is today
greatly concerning the allied govern
ments, particularly the frencn.
An official American delegate on
the reparations commission would
constitute the fifth member and the
controlling vote, the other four being
equally divided between the French
and British groups.
Moratorium Possible.
The commission does not have
the authority to reduce the repara
tions bill, but under the Versailles
treaty a majority vote of the com
mission can. before 1926, allow Ger
many a moratorium until the end of
19J0. Only an American vote is
necessary to give Germany a com
olete or partial moratorium.
The refusal of the French to ac-J
cept a reduction of the reparations,
which Premier Poincare emphasized
in the chamber of deputies yester
day, will limit the bankers to buy
ing a small loan tor Uermany in
stead of revision of the entire repara
tions problem.... ,. ,
The French government is entire
ly willing to reduce the German
reparations bill if its war debts are
annulled, and the, British government
is even more willing. On this basis
they can send a common reply to
the bankers, thus again throwing on
America the entire burden and
thwarting European reconstruction.
Wealthy Farmer Is
Strangulation Victim
Geneva, Neb., June 4. (Special.)
The verdict returned by the jury
in the inquiry into the death of
Charles Kebrlc, 56, who was found
dead in a stalled car on the streets
of Exeter, was that he came to his
death by strangulation. Ray Coates

siderable liquor, according to the
testimony of both Charles Kovanda,
who was with Kebrle when he was
found dead in the auto, and Jim
Kerble, 19, son of Kerble, who
went home from the Coates house
driving the old car "in which the
three men had come to Exeter. Ko
vanda testified that he was almost
too drunk to walk from the Coates
house to the car, and that Kebrle
was also drunk and sat on the back
seat, so that he could sleep.
Kebrle lived seven miles east of
Geneva. He was wealthy, owning
1,288 acres of land.

Replies to Statements of
Judge Gary of Steel Cor

By GEORGE F. AUTHIER.
WiwhlnKton t'orrmpondent Omaha Ber.
Washington, June 4. (Special
Telegram.) Bernard M. Baruch,
former chairman- of the war indus
tries board, came to the rescue of
farmer' co-operative legislation to
day in answer to recent statements
made by Judge, E. H. Gary of the
United States Steel corporation,
criticizing legislation authorizing this
form of co-operation.
The defense of the legislation is
contained in a letter addressed to
Senator Arthur H. Capper of Kan
sas and made oublic here tonight. It
refers to the speech recently made by
udge Gary at the meeting of the
Iron and
Steel
institute m
New
York.
Mr. Baruch calls attention to the
fact that ihe farmer aims to do by
co-ooeration what the manutactur-
ing industries do through corpora-
tions. ne acmes tne vu'u""j' ul
co-ooeration resulting in a holdup
of the public, because it is impossible,
he says, to limit production as manu
facturers do. In part, Mr. tiarucn
says:
"Equal Opportunity Admitted."
"It is admitted bv all that there
should be that equal opportunity for
the treatment of all pursuits, which
he (Judge Gary) contends for. The
lestalization of agricultural co-opera-
tiono does no more than attempt to
put the 6,000,000 of scattered and
competitively selling farmers on an
equal footing with the largely con
solidated buyers ot their products,
and with industry generally.
Practically everything that these
millions of farmers sell is sold in
competition, one with the other,
through a comparatively small num
ber of buyers, to the millions of con
sumers, whereas, everything they
buy is sold to them by a relatively
small number of sellers.
"The farmers have not asked for
any special privilege, nor has it been
accorded to them. Certain laws have
been passed, and others sought, to
enable them to do in th'ir way co
operation what other producers, the
makers of steel, for emaple, do by
means of great corporations. The
purposes of co-operation on the one
hand and corporations on the other
are the same economy, efficiency
and a degree of certainty of adequate
returns for capital and enterprise. It

In a letter to secretaries of the in

ernor General Wood today empha
sized the necessity for further
economies in order to avoid a de
ficit in the treasury. Governor
Wood's letter said:
"Judging from the first five
months of the present year, it is ap
parent that available revenues will
barely meet the demands of the
budget. Unless there is a marked
improvement, they may not do so
and we will be confronted by a de
ficit rather than a surplus. I desire
to bring administration of the depart
ments down to the most economical
basis consistent with efficient per
formance of absolutely necessary
duties."

aruue, drowned in tarter IAr about
2 AS yesterday afternoon while try
ing to make a JO-foot im to the
shore.
Paul Gardner, a clerk. 512 North'
Twenty-first street, who was reading
tales of adventure in the shade of a
tree near the scene, heard the cries
of Fralcy'. three companions, doffed
his coat and shoes and swam to the
youth's rescue.
Asisted by Joe Zelen-ky. 4416
South Forty-first street, lifeguard at
Municipal beach, Gardner dived
again and again and after four min
utes recovered the body from nine
feet of water and took it to shore,
where Zelcnsky gave first-aid treat
ment. ,
Doctors Work Desperately.
Three doctors soon reached the
scene and worked desperately over
the body, but failed to revive it. The
boy's weak heart, of which he had
told his companions, handicapped
their efforts.
Fraley had been canoeing with
Wayne Tessier, Athlonc apartments;
Arthur Aitkenhcad, 220 N'orth
Twenty-fourth street, and Robert
Henry, 3155 Farnam street, all clad
in bathing suits.
"He shouted he was going to
swim to shore," Henry said, "and
stepped on a side of the canoe, ap
parently not knowing it was easily
overbalanced. The canoe overturned
and all of us had to swim.
Companions Exhausted.
"When we reached the shore we
looked around and saw he was in
trouble. We were about exhausted,
so we cried for help. As soon as
we got our breath we swam out to
help."
The drowning occurred about 1,000
feet east of Municipal beach, on the
north side of the lake, in which the
bathing season will not open until
Saturday. Three officers patroled the
shore yesterday to prevent bathers
entering and a lifeguard was on du
ty to protect "season rushers."
Charge Not Supported.
Charges made by Tessier that the
lifeguard argued about infractions of
the rules before going to the rescne
were not supported by statements
.made by- the two others to A,.. I.
Jones, recreation director, who in
vestigated. "Zelensky did his duty," Jones
said. -
"The public should be warned that,
bathing is forbidden until the open
ing Saturday and that after that it is
countenanced only at Municipal
beach. Beginning Saturday, we will
have a doctor, a pulmotor and an
adequate force of rescuers on du-
ty."
Fraley was a son of Mrs. John
Corey. His mother and .stepfather
were motoring when the drowning
occurred. A sister, Maymie, 15,
reached the lake just as resuscitat
ing efforts were abandoned.
