II.. Aug". 17. United States Senator Jacob Galllnger, Sew Hampshire, died at a hospital here early today. When Senator Galllnger returned from "Washington to his summer home at I I-' Salisbury Heights, near here, In- July, he 'was In poor henlth. A few days ago his condition "became so much worse that upon advice of his physician he was brought to a hospital here. Death was Attributed to arterlo-sclerosls. At the Senator's bedside was Mrs. Ralph Galllnger, widow of Senator Onl llnger's only son, who was killed In an Automobile accident a few year's ago. The. funeral will be held from the First Baptist Church at Concord on Wednes day afternoon. The body was removed to Concord today. Senator Qalllnger Is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Harry A. Norton, of Win chester, Mass. Senator Jacob Harold Gallinger, of New Hampshire, was the oldest member . of the 'United Stnfes Senate, both in years and In point of service. Ever since 1891 he had been a conspicuous figure' In the Senate, taking not only a leading ' part In Its discussions, but ranking as a X dominating figure In Its leadership and " Jn the councils of the Republican party. i As minority leader the Senator had been i uctlve until quite recently, despite his advancing years. His present term, the Jlfth, would have expired In 1921. Born on a farm at Cornwall, Ontario, eighty-one years ago, he crossed the fcorder to the United States early In life. He was a printer first, then studied medicine and practiced as a physician nd surgeon for twenty-three years. In 1872 he entered the New Hampshire House of Representatives, beginning po litical activities that continued to the end of his life. Senator Galllnger made the sondlng rpeech for Benjamin Harrison for Pres ident In the National "Republican Con vention of 1888,. and frequently was a New Hampshire delegate to the na tional conventions A military title he tore In the early, days, when he was surgeon general of the New Hampshire National Quard brigadier general was forgotten during his Washington career, where he was proud of the title Of "Doctor." He served In the House In the Forty-ninth and Fiftieth Congresses. During his continuous service of twenty-seven years in the Senate he had been active on the committees dealing with finance, appropriations, rules anil government of the District of Columbia. He fought long for his ocean mall sub sidy bill to build up the American mer chant marine, and it passed the Senate, only to fall In .the House. He was the Republican nominee for president pro tern, of the Senate In 1911. Two months later, when his son, Ralph Galllnger, was killed In an automobile accident, he suf fered so greatly from depression that his friends were anxious over his condi tion for a long time. Always forceful In his public declara tions, Mr. Gallinger created a sensation ly telling tho' Senate lobby committee In 1913 that President Wilson has come "perilously near lobbying" In connection with the tariff bill. He declared that In his four years In the House and twenty-two years In the Senate he had never encountered improper influence nor lobby methods, and that Tfe had "no Interests outside of a little rocky farm In New Hampshire," where he J-alsed hay and apples. " The Senator made a long fight against confirmation of George S. Rublee, of NeWHampshlro, as a member of the JJederal Trade Commission, which even tually resulted In Mr, Rublee leaving the board, after serving without confirma tion and On recess appointments. During the war Senator Galllnger had etopd with the President on national de fense measures. He had pending a res olution for a day of prayer for the wel- W vfare of the American cause In the war.

Senator Gal linker's death at Franklin, N. H., today takes from the Senate one of its most BUlklng Republican figures. Ills' death caused profound grief .Among the Senators who were about the sxaCanltol today. IiVv. "HIk death constitutes u grave loss to the Senate ana 10 me country ai mis critical time," said Senator Curtis, of Kansas. Republican Senate whip "lie was a remarkable floor leader. It la' with profound sorrow that we learn of his death." . Senator aiarun, ueinucruuc xeauer. was absent from the city today. Other Democrats Joined with the Republicans, however, in tribute to the minority leader, Senator Galllnger celebrated his eighty, first birthday recently. At that time trihntf. was uaid him In the Senate by prominent members of both parties. One' Oi UailinSCI B uiuae .amuuD aiJcci.iica B delivered January 27, 1915, when he spoke for seven hours and twenty min utes against the shipping board bill. It Is one of the longest Senate speeches on record. A few weeks later he spoke continuously for four hours and twenty flve minutes on the same subject. At that time he was seventy-eight years Senator Lodge, ranking member of the Senate, undoubtedly will succeed Galllnger as floor leader. Senator Cur tis has conferred with the sergeant-at-arms regarding the funeral committee to attend Galllnger's funeral. The. Senate probably will suspend Its Mnnclav session' In tribute to Galllnger, but demand for action on the man-power bill may hold up tnis course.

VESSELS Hurley Announces Future Program for Merchant Marine DEFENDS HIGH WAGES Manning of the American Merchane Marine, which soon will Income tho greatest In the world, with nll-Amerlcan crews, was announced today as a policy i of the United States shipping board. bv Iidward N. Hurley, chairman. Simultaneously, Mr. Hurley issued a l&ng statement In defense of the high wages paid to ship and factory work, ers, and .said that tho country could no more think of cheap labor in con nection with Its ship construction and manufacturing pregram than It could afford to send "cheap" soldiers to the battlefields of lurope "With tho bugaboo of cheap foreign labor haunting us In former years," said Mr. Hurley, "we got Into the way of thinking that export trade necessitated some loweilng of wages and American living stamlaids Piobably that was crooked thinking before the war. Cer tainly It Is crooked thinking now, for the war Islirlnglng cther nations closer to our American standards of living. "To think of cheapness in connection with foreign trade Is Just as wrong as trying to pin bargain tags on soldiers " Feeling assured of the s-ucccss of the huge American shipbuilding program, which will make 25,01)0,000 tons of ship ping available within the net two years for foreign trade Mr Hurley said that the shipping board will now concentrate Its pouer on m.innlng of the merchant marine with all-Atnerirnn crews The shipping board's methods; In putting tho American shipyards on the map, he de clared, will be paralleled In creating an adequate personnel for the merchant ships built and controlled by the board rinns for Peine Fleet In launching a great educational cam paign, said Mr. Hurley, not only will the war needs of the met chant marine be considered, but a board foundation will be laid for maintaining a 100 per cent American personnel "In tho great peace fleet with which the United States will take a commanding place in world trade after the vval." The shipping board's manning pro gram Is based on the present and poten tial needs of the merchant set Ice In coastwise and overseas tr.itllc, for both existing anil new tonnage. Since the war began the new tonnage has been illvldcel almost equally between the ship ping board and the n.ny, the ships as signed to the navy being used In the oerseas transport service, A training system for inci chant olllcers and crews, which lias been in operation during the war thus far, will now be used to Its fullest capacity for producing the men needed in the merchant marine. This system now has ten training and receiv ing ships actually In commission, and three others authorized. The output of these training vessels will be 3000 men a month. With regard to foreign trade. Mr. Hurley said: "With something like 25,000,000 tons of merchant shipping to be employed In side of two years, the bhlpplng board feels that it is none too early to look' around for cargoes, both In this country and abroad. "In one voyage these snips couia carry all the live stock, dressed meats, pack ing house products, poultry, game, llsh, wool, hides and leather carried on our railroads In one year. In less thai, five trips they could carry our whole yearly railroad haul of grain, fiou, cot 'ton hay. fruit, vegetables and other farm products: in three and one-half trips, all our lumber; In seven trips a manufactured goods; in sixteen trli, all our coaland coke.

We've had some people watch ing from the hotel above Vcvey, but the Geimans have a new code Last nlglit some one up here telephoned that an automobile climbed n moun tain near here every night about 11 o'clock.

It was a black night as c had foroxst It would be, and, halving ascended several hundred meters by tiain wo were up very close to the celling of clouds which we lia-d oh served earlier In the evening. It was colder, too, nnd the mist was heavy. I did not glance at my watch, but It must have been !):S0 before our car arrived with its small oil lamp burn ing in front and tall lamp in thd rear. Hurry Scott Williams shouted to the driver and wnved his heavy walk ing stick. A useless tiling "to do, I thought, but this was a strange game to me and I knew so few of tho high signs that tills might have been one with more significance than it ap peared. The two companions weie in UH VVV.lt. III- side, wrapped in heavy , , , . , blankets nnd, after we tumbled In, Williams ordered the chauffeur to go to one of the best known hotels In the Cunton do Vaud I was astonished at this, because It seemed to me that we had gone to so much pains to get away fiom the enemy that it was foolish to go tliero where we would, most certainly, be spotted. But I had confidence In Wil liams and said nothing. We had very little time to eat, but Williams relaxed at the table as if ills day's work was ended. After dinner he ordeted the chauffeur to return home, having previously in structed him to disregard nny oideis he might give at the hotel because tho porter was a Get man spy. When the orders were given the potter was on hand, as Williams had a., icipated. The chauffeur drove away. Williams registered us for the night and en gaged n big double room with bath, overlooking the lake. We went up to the room, Henri and Gus following. A few moments later two interned soldieis appeared. I was asked to go out with them and we walked through the dark streets to a railroad crossing where I was surprised to find our automobile pirked along the road, all lights out like a ship at sea. A Journey in the Dark Some time later the other three loined us. We got Into the car, motoied through dark streets to be sure we were not followed and then started up a serpentine road which led us into the mountains. A few minutes before eleven we were at the bottom of a steep and long incline which led to the chateau of a retired German baroness. It was along this road that the automobile had been reported and It was believed that tho signals were received at her homo and replies Hashed from her windows to tho mountains of France. This was all surmise, but Williams hoped to prove It and place the evidence lie fore the Swiss federal authoiltics. For two hours wo waited and watched. The mist had developed Into a slow, penetrating rain which we noticed because wo hud left our car and ordered It to return several hun dred yards so that ,it could not be seen from the house. Wo waited many hours moio that night, but Fute was against us; Fate and the enemy! I was more disap pointed than the others, because I had expeqted action. They had only hoped for it. .They had been policing the Germans for months and they knew how to be cheerful In disappointment, for even disappointments have their bright sides. "All In the Business" "It's all in the business." Williams remarked afterwaid. "A policeman In a neutral country cannot catch crlml- nals as easily as he can at.home. but we'll keep this up until we get them. or until we force them tn ston signal ing for fear of detection. Wo can't always get the man or woman we are after, but we can interfere with their svstem. and that is the most Impor tant. It Is the svstem that counts, not the employes. Spies come and go. but the svstem remains. In this business there are always recruits. For money and for this German trade .there ate men and women throughout the world who will stoop to conquer. For some the prlce'Is high; a hundred thousand franca or more; for others there Is re muneration in the work Itself. Their trade is essentially one of deception. They must He, scheme, bribe, threaten, blackmail or fall. For these reasons Germany has the greatest spy system In the world." It was the experience I had that night In Switzerland which caused me to delve Into some of the German ac tivities which have confronted Allied police for several months. I discovered that in all neutral countries there are Allied and American "black lists" ,of enemy spies and their vassals. I found that the Germans first learned the name of the French port to which the first American troops were taken by flashlight signals sent across Lake Geneva.
