' By the Associated Press
1 Franklin, N. 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.

5 fiOLLEAGUESl TRIBUTE
W TO SENATOR GALLINGER
By the United Press
Washington, Aug. 17. 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'

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.

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.
I Thought For Tomorrow
"So ainld all his splendid effort In
producing equipment to win the war, tlfc
American manufacturer must bo asked
to tnko thought for tomorrow and think
In terms of shipping and foreign trade.

our factories means b tie American

arrived with its small oil lamp burn

the driver and wnved his heavy walk

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. Other cases, to be related
