. - A Fixed Shipping ! Policy Urged by House Committee Only Alternative Is to With draw Shipping Board Ves sels From Seas, Saya Special Seas. WnsWngton, Aug. 13.—Members of the spAlal house committee Investi gating the shipping board returned ;trom their inspection tour of Euro pean ports firmly convinced that Neither a permanent shipping policy should be adopted or that shipping board vessels should be withdrawn from the seas Immediately, Repre sentative Davis, democrat, Tennessee, prosecutor of the committee, said to day before leaving for his home in Tennessee. |. The whole organization, Davis said, being handicapped by the European lidea that the United States ships are in service only temporarily. At every turn on the European trip this prob lem arose, he declared, adding that owners of docking facilities hesitated ;t0 grant leases, capable men declined employment, and shippers hesitated to transfer their business to Ameri can lines. The committee will recommend a policy to maintain an American mer chant marine permanently, Davis stated, explaining, however, that this did not necessarily* contemplate it would be operated permanently under the shipping board but rather only until competent private concerns could take over the lines. During the tour, Davis said they did not discover any national preju dice against the American liners but did find keep competition. Taken as a whole, he declared, the business jvas increasing, prospects were bright ening, and the future was promising. ! At all of the ports, the representa tive said, the committee found immi grants awaiting transportation to America and some of the steamship companies were losing heavily by be in? forced to feed and house many who had purchased tickets to Amer ica and were being help up by Immi gration restrictions.

GIRL SLAIN; BODY HID UNDER BRIDGE (Contlnsed From Pngs One.) Instead It struck the bank and rolled under ths bridge, where It was found. Reticent When Questioned. It was two hours later that a clue, which county officers say may lead to the discovery of the murderer, was reported by the gasoline filling sta tion attendants at Newmarket, la., three miles east of the bridge. They reported a man had driven up to the filling station at It Tuesday morning and asked for gasoline. Ho declared that he wa* without funds and was reticent when questioned. He was finally given gasoline when he agreed to leave a eult case for security. It was turned over to coun ty officers tonight. The attendants declare they would be able to Identify the driver should he be brought before them. It Is pointed out that the body could not have lain under the bridge without discovery for more than two days since there was a swimming party from Bedford there on Monday. This leads to the belief the murder was on Tuesday morning or Wednes day night. Baby Falls on Scissors; Dies Special Dl«p«tch to Tlie Omaha Bee.

The address of the president accept ing the nomination is expected by the party leaders to eet fotth merely the principles on which the republican campaign will be based, since it was written before John W. Davis, the democratic nominee, delivered his cor responding address at Clarksburg, W. Va., and could not therefore be re garded as a direct reply to the lat ter’s statements. The president hsd a light program today to permit him to spend some time In preparation for delivery of his address. STATE ALIENIST SAYS LOEB SANE (Continued From Page One.) no weakness of mentality; Indicated no Insanity. On the contrary, it gave evidence of normal youths whose efforts turned to some worthy purpose would have brought them renown. Here is the hypothetical question that was put to Dr. Patrick by Mr. Crowe that he answered in the nega tive: Hypothetical Question. "Doctor, assume a hypothetical per son, who on examination disclosed the facts and circumstances that you gained from your examination of Richard Doeb, and add thereto these facts that have been testified to here; "That he is Immature In hi# de velopment. "That he still has three baby teeth; "That the growth of hair on his body Is scanty and he only needs to shave twice a week; "That he hns had several fainting spells during his life; "That he has tremors of the hands and tongue, and enlarged Inguinal glands; "That he also has dermographla; “And that his basal metabolism when examined on one day averaged minus 17 per cent. "Have you any opinion that such an individual Is suffering from men tal disease?" To this question Dr. Patrick an swered that he saw no evidence of mental disorder, aside from the com mission of the crime. Mr. Darrow requested Dr. Patrick to repeat the "aside” part of his an swer. Crime Only Evidence. "Aside from the commission of the crime, I stated yesterday, Darrow. that 1 saw no evidence of any mental disorder at all, unless one Is to ss sume that the commission of a crime of this character, under these circum stances, was In Itself to be assumed as evidence of mental disorder,” Dr. Patrick replied. The report of Doctors Bowman and Hulbert, the defense alienists, con tained many things that are true, Dr. Patrick told Judge Caverly. But the defense 1m# magnified the Importance of little individual peculiarities, com mon in some form or other In the character of everyone. Judge Caverly was Interested. He read portions of the typed report at the elbow of the doctor. The youthful defendants, hair slicked, still neatly dressed despite their long Imprisonment, had a care free air when Dr. Patrick started his testimony. But their expressions be came serious as the doctor went on to tear down the "dream world” of the defense. They made an effort, to appear un concerned, to take lightly what the doctor said, but to the observer It was evident the college boys were thinking harder probably than ever before In their lives. They appeared to be trying to fathom the mind of Judge Caverly, to lenrn from some act or expression of his what he thought of the testimony of the state's alienists. There was nothing on his countenance to encourage them. The big thrill of the trial, so far as spectators are concerned, will come when the arguments are mad# by the attorneys. These will be opened by Darrow probably not later than Fri day. WOMAN TOOK OWN LIFE, M’COY SAYS (Continued From Puce One.) pen red, accompanied by McCoy. Neither of them attended that session. At the time ehe accused her hus band of 'robbing their store Mrs. Moers also swore to an affidavit charging that he had lately threat ened to kill her. "I will kill you,” She quoted him as shouting at her during a dispute over the $200,000 property settlement and her relations with McCoy. “I will fix you before 1 leave Los An geles." McCoy Champion. Los Angles. Aug. 13.—"Kid” Mc Coy, in private life Norman Selby, who today became Involved In the shooting of Mrs. Theresa Moers here, at one time claimed the world's mid dleweight boxing title. He has bat tled some of the most famous fig ures in ring history, including James Corbett, I’eter Maher. Joe Choynskl, Tommy Ryan and other stars of 20 years ago. McCoy's ring career began In 1891 when he won his first bout from Pete Jenkins. He continued his climb and In 1898 defeated such well known ring stars as Ous Ruhlin and Joe Goddard. The young nghter won his victory from Choynskl in San Francisco In 1899. The following year he toppled over both Maher and Choynskl In enntern bouts. He went to England In 1901 where he defeated Davp Barry and other British lighters. The year previous he had gone five rounds with Corbett in New York. In 1897 McCoy made * claim to the middleweight championship, but was never officially recognized. Stanley Ketchell was later recognized as the logical champion. McCoy was welterweight champion of the world from 1898 to 1897. The only man McCoy ever refused to fight was Bob Fitzsimmons. McCoy’s marital career began Boon after his ring career and lasted much longer. His first wedding occurred when he was 19 years old. according to some of his accounts and when he was 21, according to others—the for mer boxer being a little reticent about hi* real age. Sporting manuals say he was born In 1873. The various accounts agree that It was in 1895 when he walked to the altar with Lottie Piehler In Middle town, Conn. McCoy had known her two days. The marriage lasted a year and a half during which time the "kid" became unofficial middle weight champion of the world by de feating Tommy Ilyan and Tommy West. Two years after the wreck of his first marriage, McCoy met Julia Woodruff, who became wife No. 2, 3 and 4. They were married and di vorced three times. The former hol er described the third divorce as the charm. Four other marriages followed, the hu»t being with Carmen Browder, a dancer known on the stage as Dag mar Balgaren. Their romance end ed in 1920, three days after the wed ding. In 1922 McCoy almost married a ninth time when Mrs. Jaqueline Mc Dowell started from 15altimoro to meet him in Bos Angeles, but think ing better of it, got off the train at Detroit and telegraphed him she was not coming any farther.
