(Ily A. I) Reports thnt the Great I.ulces naval training station wan to be abandoned were denied todny by Hear Admiral Washington, chief of the Bureau of Navigation. Admiral Washington said that nest to the great fleet base, nt Hampton Itoads, the (treat Lakes station was regarded as the most Important port the navy has. Creeping After Cat, Daby la Burned Chnsing the cat around the kitchen floor proved a painful experience last night for Catherine Jackson, fourteen months old, of 71fi Addison street. While crawling about on her hands and knees the baby fell against the stove, burned her left ndn right hands nnd her face. She was treated (it the Penn sylvania Honpital, but hr condition isi not serious. Uy tho Associated Press Washington, Jan. 13. -Amendment ; of the prohibition enforcement act so as to permit American passenger liners Hiving in foreign trade to carry nnd sell llfiuor outside the three-mile limit of the I'nited States, was urged before the House Judiciary committee today by steamship ofllelals, who complnined that because of present restrictions foreign rhlns were handling the bulk of travel. Representative Kdmonds, of Philadel phia author of the amendment, de clared that failure to amend the law would make it Impossible for American ships to get anything except overflow travel. ...... "Don't prohibitionists travel?" asked Representative Igoc. "I understand they go on ships that ore not dry, because they want to enjoy the fun," Mr. I'dmonds replied. Alfred O. Smith, president mid gen eral manager of the New York nnd Cuba Mall Steamship Line, said his company was placed at a great disadvantage under prohibition restrictions in com peting for travel with foreign ships on which use of liquor was permitted. The act as it standsfi he added, would force oil American companies to withdrawn from thcemigrunt-cnrrylng trade. Mr. Smith told the committee that two voxels of his fleet now being re conditioned probably would be bold abroad. "If the present law W continued, he added, "it will force nearly every passenger shipowner to transfer his ves sels to foreign registry." P. S. A. Franklin, president of the International Mercantile .Marine, do- . clared the law as it wan today would ' mean the death of the American flag in the passenger ship trade ot'thc world. He said there coulU be no hope of de yelonlng tho American merchant marine If the government was to place hard ships not demanded by other countries. "It Is a fcerious business problem from the viewpoint of building and operating passenger steamers," said Mr. Frank lin. "The ruling of the attorney gen eral that liquor cannot be sold at any time on vessels flying the American flag might be changed nt any time. Unless some definite assurance In given I do not sec how nnibody can deliberately build American ships. If we are prohibited from scrv tig liquor, hope of obtaining business in. competition with foreign vessels would be impossible." SEEKS TO KEEP OUT CANADIAN WHEAT Washington, Jan. 13. To stop enor mous Importations of Canadian wheat," Senator McCumber, of North Dakota, announced today that he would ask for n tariff of probably fifty cents a bushel on wheat to bo included in the Kordney emergency tariff bill instead of the duty of thirty cents carried by the measure as it passed the House. The senator's announcement was made (it hearings on the Fordney meas ure before tho Senate finance committee. He charged American mnrkcts had been glutted by the Canadian wheat and said that ns there remained more than 100,- 000,000 bushels of Canadian wheat for export, ho feared ruin of the American wheat farmer' considering the dlffercr.ee in the exchange rate between the two countries. Senator McCumber said he did not believe "an import duty of fifty cents a bushel would "Tmcronse the costs of n loaf of bread one iota." Higher tariff'rates on brass nnd cop. tier were urged today by Edward II, Burns, of Pittsburgh, representing the American Brass and Copper titatliticnl Kxchnnge, of New York, who appeitrul before the House ways and means com mittee today. He said foreign competi tion was increasing on the industry. A strike of the people who buy things throughout tho country, Mr. Burns ad mitted in reply to a question, contrlb-. uted to the present conditions, causing his business to be "cut to pieces." "If ho, it would seem tue gentlemen here should take account of prices in the future instead of bolstering up to the level of present prices," Mr. Young, Republican, North Dakota, said, "Our prices are lower, if you arc criticizing us," Mr. Burns said. "I don't believe," Mr. Young con tinued, "that the American people are going to stand for us to pass a bill that will keep up present prices." Boys' "Clubhouse" Burned Fire which damaged an unoccupied building nt 28 1U Frankford avenue last night is believed to have been started by boys who use tho place as a "clubhouse." FARMERS HELPING IDLE MILL HANDS Produce in Barrel Lots Being Sont to Philadelphia From Surplus Stooks TRAFFIC TROUBLE FOUND Farmers hundreds of miles from Phil adelphia, in tho southwestern corner of the state, have started ft movement to aid the unemployed textile workers bf Kensington. The farmers became interested in labor during the presidential election, when they were active in tho Former Labor party. After the election they transferred their interest to the work ers in Philadelphia, and hard been sending barrels' of trait and produce hero out of their surplus of farm products. Difficulties of getting barrels and ex pediting transportation have kept down the flow of eatables from the farm to the table of tho idlo to some extent, but the work is organizing rapidly and moro and more farmers are expected to Join In it, in other parts of the state as well as in the locality where the move ment started. The distribution is through commit tees of union men, who know Uie needs of members of their own loca's. Tho barrels of produce have been sent to the Women's Trade Union League, at 1702 Arch street, which has tieen made the distributing center, Later it Is hoped to open n special commissary de partment in Kensington, where thoso workers who are out of jobs and need help in supplying the family table cau get fruit and vegetables fresh from the fields.
