SHIP BUILDING
HEADS CALLED TO.
ACCOUNT BY U.S.
March Output Bitter Disap
pointment to Government;
Says People Want Ships
and Not Excuses.
Bjr Associated Prei.)
Washington, April 2. American
ship builders were called upon tonight
to explain why their output for March
fell behind schedule.
Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board, and General Manager Piez of
the emergency fleet Corporation, tele
graphed heads of all the yards in the
United States saying they were
"keenly disappointed" in the tonnage
delivered, and placing the responsi
bility of turning out ships squarely on
the men in control of acal building
operations.
"Keynote of present situation is
management leadership," the tele
gram said. "Money, material and
men has been supplied without stint
by the nation. The American people
want ships ncK excuses."
Suggestions were requested and the
officials said thy wanted to know if
the fault lay with the emergency fleet
corporation.
$30,000 Ton! Short.
"Please don't overestimate," the tel
egram urged after asking for the pros
pects during April. It was said that
the March estimate of 197,070 tons
had been made on promises of ship
builders who delivered only 166,700
tons.
QUIZ WAITER TO
OBTAIN LIGHT ON
GAMBLER'S DEATH
:
New York April 2. In an effort to
obtain further details of the ramifi
cations of an alleged gamblers' feud
in New York, officials (rom the dis-
tnct attorney s othce today questioned
closely Morris Rothenberg, waiter and
bartender, Who was arrested last night
charged with the murder of , Harry
Cohen, known as "Harry the Yet," a
notorious gambler and burglar.
Cohen was shot in hit apartment
house on the upper west side yester
day, morning, an hour and a half after
he called on James E. Smith, assistant
district attorney, and promised to give
testimony against a number of men
"higher up" in a gambling "ring."
Cohen's murder, on the. eve of his
promised disclosures, bears a close
resemblance to the sensational Rosen
thal murder here in 1912, for which
Charles Becker, police lieutenant, and
four gunmen were electrocuted. The
facts, so far as known, however, do
not implicate the police, officials say,
and the murder has more of the ap
pearance of a private quarrel among
gamblers. ' V
War Plays Havoc With
; German Cloth Industry
Amsterdam, April1 2. A leading
German manufacturer, writing in the
Norddeutsche Allgcmein Zeitung,
says: " ' i
"Out of 1,700 spinning and weaving
mills only 70 are still running ai high
pressure, while in the boot and shoe
industry 1,400 factories have been
amalgamated into -300. In the oil in
dustry 15 factories working at high
pressure have been formed' out of 720
works previously existing. In the
silk industr, the number of spindles
has been reduced from 45,000 to
2,500." ' -
Commenting: on this letter, the
Tageblatt remarks:
"This shows for the first time in
statistics the great extent to which
the closing down of factories has
taken place in Germany."

RUINS OF VENICE
VIEWED BY BAKER;
ITALIANS' GUEST
Desolate Condition of Ill-Fated
City, Left by Two-Thirds of
Population Impresses
Secretary.
Venice, April 2. The desolate con
dition of Venice, left so by the evac
uation of two-thirds of its popula
tion and the destruction of many of
its churches and buildings by aerial
bombardments, was witnessed today
by Newton D. Baker, the American
secretary of war.
Mr. Baker and Thomas Nelson
Page, the American ambassador, had
stopped at the headquarters of the
third Italian army on their way to
Venice to call on the duke of Aosta,
cousin of King Victor Emmanuel and
commander of the Italian forces, on
the Piave line. The meeting between
the duke and Mr. Baker was most
cordial, the duke personally explain
ing to the American secretary the
present military situation and the out
look. '
Admiral Marzolo, naval command
ant of Venice, sent his chief of staff
and the admiral's barge to convey the
American party to the city. s
Sees Flooded Areas.
The trip was through the Ventian
lagoons, which afforded a view of the
region flooded by the Italian military
engineers in order to hold back the
enemy's advance. Arriving in Venice,
Mr. Baker and Ambassador Page
were escorted to the admiral's head
quarters. The party then passed
through the Grand canal to the Place
San Marco and to the city council
chamber, where the mayor of Venice,
Count Grunani, with the prefect and
members of the municipality extend
ed the welcome of tfie city. Count
Grimani's address was a warm tribute
to the U.iited States and an acknowl
edgment pf America's part in assisting
Venice curing the recent critical
period.
Later Mr. Baker and "party visited
the doge's palace, the Campanile and
the Basilica of San Marco.

Italy, three 111 Palestine, three in
Macedonia and one, in Mesopotamia.

New York. April I Traneactlons ' on the

sines the midsummer of 191. At no time
since this country's entry Into the war was
public participation at such low ebb. This
attitude was trenemttted to the trading ele

diminution of confidence In the outcome of
