Calls Charges Old "The charges upon which this In dictment is based, said Mr. Norton yesterday, "were all threshed out in i 1818 and thrown out. It is purely a ' ttchnlenl matter. We neglected to file a second statement. No stock has been old for stvernl years. I do not see why the matter should be brought up nil over again." Charles A. KobertH. of Powell. Wynn & Roberta. 7 Dey street, at torneys for Mr. Drexel, issued this statement: "The facts regarding the organira 'Hon and subsequent business failure of itne Standard Films Industries. Inc., Ihave long been a matter of public rec ord, and Mr. Drexel's participation in 'ita affairs has been fully vindicated. The charges in the indictment against ,Mr. Norton arc understood to relate to 'transactions arising some four years (ago, and we arc surprised at the action now taken. The entry of the United States Into war disrupted the com ipany's organization and prevented the success of Its enterprise." District Attorney Swann said th icompany has collected about $200,000, .'largely from the more ignorant classes land poorer people, and about $0000 or ; 98000 of this amount had been ol . tslned through sales of Btock to Har lem Negroes by agents operating on a i40 per cent commission basis. No div idends have been declared or paid, he (added. An investigation of the Standard Films Industries about three enrs ngo resulted in the indictment of Mr. Ilro laskl and Mr. Jennings, though this was later 'thrown out. Acting District Attorney Banton, then an Assistant District Attorney, recommended the discharge of bail on the ground the facta did not sustain the Indictment. It Is not alleged by the District At- '-. torney there have been any trnnnac tions by the company slnre thnt time. Mrs. Mnrian K. Clarke and Flo)d Wllmot, of the State Industrial Com mission, reported to Mr. Banton re cently, however, they had obtained new facta and received additional complaints not mentioned in the first investiga tion which resulted in indictments for i larceny by alleged false representa tion. Mr. Banton assigned Assistant Dis trict Attorney Ferdinand Q. Morton, 'who, after a thorough Inquiry, pre sented the testimony to the Grand JJury. He obtained an indictment un Wer Section 002 of the Penal Laws re- fating to issuonce of stock in excess of (the amount declared, a felony punish able by seven years' Imprisonment or $3000 fine, or both.

OILRKUT BIaO" Correspondent lftcnlnr Publle ldger CavvrtoM, 1911, bj Public Lrttoer Co. Washington, July 0. Bohlnd tho announcement of the Shipping Bonrd that it Is not yet rrndy to iintu'tince policies or personnel ll n shirp dlvl Mon of opinion n tc how the shipping business of the United Stntes Is to bo run. Ts Washington to pass upon every question thnt nrlse or nn1 the ngrnt's of the board In the field to hnve au thority to net quickly on their own responsibility? The business men in the bonrd. hended by C'hairmiin Lacker, nro under utood to favor following the course of all successful private steamship man agements by decentralizing ntithorltv. The politicians in the board, tended, 'it is Mid, by ex-Sonntor George Cham berlain, are nfnild to trust ngrntx with too much authority, nnd feel thnt for tl'eir own protection all important questions must be referred to Washing Ion for decision. How Bed Tape Works An illustration of what is involved K to bo found in the following inci dent: At Pnkow, Chinn, 100,000 tons of coal were In the market for ships to carry it to Europe. The Chinese ship pers inclined to give preference to American shirrs which wen- nlrendy in iho East awaiting cargo. In the fui-c of this the British nnd Japanese ship PlnC hep"" '" Hilnn cut rates nnd bid for tho coal. The American shipping board ncent in China hnd no authority to meet tho cu. He cabled to San Frnnciwo for his Instructions and his cable was delayed several days. Snn Francisco debated the question of cut ting, did not feel like taking the re sponsibility of deciding, nnd refened the matter to 'nhingtcn. Some more time was lost here. When nt last the shipping board agent in the Eat.t re ceived authority to meet the British nnd Japanese cuts nost of the coul wo on its way to Europe. Mennwhilc the American ships Iny Idle, costing money to keep afloat and in tho end falling to get business. Thnt incident was typlcnl. the busi ness men In the board say Its moral is plain. Give the shipping agent in the field the nuthority and responsibility of using his own judgment. Sc Chance for Graft But, pay the more cnutioup politi cians, look nt tho opportunity for graft in such a situation. If the agent Is not honest he may cut rates ni d receive n big commission frou shippers. Then in ii little while thcrn will b n con gressional investigation nnd the Ship pine Bonrd will be covered with scandal. And even if he is honest, booner or later there will be n public ouierr. The OWKirtunlties for grift nnd f.-l increases the tendency to centralize everything In Washington in self-pro lection. If agents in the field are to hnve wide authority, highly efficient and ex perienced men must be found. It will not do to nppoint politicians, but in looking for practical BhipidnK men of ! !fh character the board is faced bv lh' imi difficulties which confronted Prehi' nt Hnrdlnc when he tried to in duce son.e M? business man to take the place of clicirraan of the li.inru itfiell. The best shipping men hnve job Government-owned lines nro In bad order. The work of the Shipping Board is regarded ns temporary, tne intention of tho Administration being to get out of the bhippins business ns soon as possible. Naturally practical ship ping men are unwilling to quit perma nent places with good shipping com panies for temporary berth" with the Shipping Hoard. Need Itlght Personnel The policy of decentralizing authority nml the extent to which it may bo de centralized depends upon securing the riiht personnel. And the success, of Government shipping operation depends upon this decentralization nnd the per sonnel. Ameetenn Government shins operated from Washington have got the worst of it in the ports of the world. Quick nction to obtain cargoes has in the pan been impossible and the Govern inent has been forced to pay nbeiird bills for repnrls In foreign ports where Its agents have larked tne practical in telligence to protect It. The general policy adopted by the Shipping Hoard makes it possible to opernte the ships owned by the Govern ment at a bookkeeping profit. The cost of building flhlps. of constructing ship Minis and docks for their erection was ncnrlv S 100.000,000. It was impossible to earn interest on this vnst sum plup the costs of ship operation. Homo of the property erected in the haste of the war uns virtually junk and utterly unsalable What was left had de mused enormously in value ns a con sequence of the world-wide decline in prices, especially of shipping and ship building facilities. Tlireo Millions Canceled The nrtunl nronerty in the hands of the Government today is estimnted to he worth $7.10.000,000. The difference between pre-ent value nnd the original cost of production, nearly 53,000.000, 000. was written off as u pnrt of the ex pense of carrying on the war. Thus the asK which the Shipping Hoard hns is to earn a return upon $7.'i0,000.000, and this. It is believed, ran be done even in the present de pressed condition of the shipping indus try Hut It all depends upon the Gov ei'nment being as quick nnd keen In ob taining cargoes us nre the private ship ping companies or tne worm wun wmrn it has to compete. Incidents like thnt at Pukow already described spell the dlfferenrc between on cess nnd failure. Eastman Co. Official Dies Itothestrr. N. Y.. duly 0 (Hi P.) Frank K.
