The Morning News prints all
the news that is fit to print,
and in addition thereto it pro-
poses to have a policy that means
for the advancement of the city
and county along all lines of
progross. Its purpose is to lead
in all such movements and to
lend its support to everything
that uplifts nd benefits. Out-
side of its news columns it is
a real vital forc4 in its com-
munity. Its value is worth very
much more than what it tells
you of the daily happenings. It
does not please everybody, and
if it did it wouldn’t be worth
what we ask for it. But we be-
lieve if you live in Marshall
that it’s worth 4-bits of your
money per month and if you
live out of the city that it's
worth 40 cents. Suppose you
find out its worth by phoning

Austin. Texas, Jan. 25.—The
lower House of the Legislature
today passed the home ownership
amendment to the state constitu-
tion by a vote of 103 to 28. The
bill was sponsored by ex-Gover-
nor Hobby and intredaced by
Representative Davis, of Dallas.
It now goes to the Senate.
This amendment provides for
the lending of state credit for the
purchase and improvement of ru-
ral and urban homes. It was de-
feated at the general election two
years ago, but at the last election
was not on the ballot, and recom-
mended that it be submitted to
the Thirty-seventh Legislature.
The Sil to postpone the publica-
tion of delinquent tax lists for state,
county and other taxes until Oct. 15.
1921, was passed in the House by a
vote of 110 to 4.
The removal of the University of
Texas, as urged by the board of re-
gents, was brought up in the Senate
today, when Senator R. M. Dudley, of
El Paso, introduced a bill proposing
to remove the institution from its
present site to the 500-acre tract of
land donated by the late George W.
Breckenridge, bordering the Colorado
river. The appropriation of the un-
expended university available funds
and all of this fund to accrue for the
next two years is provided for in the
bill to pay for' the rmoval of the
university.

Chicago. Jan. 25.—A big black au-

plunged into the south branch of the
Chicago river Saturday midnight with
six persons was sought by police
grappling hooks today. Thomas Han-
lon, watchman for an engineering
company nearby, told the police he
watched the speeding automobile
swerve off Twenty-second street and
plunge into 18 feet of water, but de-
layed reporting it for 24 hours be-
cause of fatigue.
Hanlon said there were at least six
persons in the car when it passed him.

Chicago, Jan. 25.—William Denman,
former chairman of cthe -shipping
board, tonight gave out the text pf a
telegram which he said he was send-
ing to Jas Franklin, of New York,
president of the International Mer-
cantile Marine, in connection with
charges made by Senator Jones last
-week that the Mercantile Marine com-
pany had entered into an agreement
with the British government in 1903
to pursue no policy injurious to the
British mercantile marine or to the
Brithsh trade.
The telegram, Mr. Denman said,
■was in reply to one from Mr. Frank-
lin asking Mr. Denman to deny cer-
tain reports which Mr. Franklin said
had been published concerning the al-
leged agreement.
Mr. Denman’s reply said that
meeting between Mr. Schwab and Mr.
Morse was arranged later at the Ho-
tel St. Regis, and the witness said he
repeated to Morse what he had said
to Wildeman that “the facts I had
related were true and that I was now
at the end of a long 40 years' busi-
ness career and that it was a matter
so indescribably deep in my heart to
be charged of anything of that kind
that I hoped he would correct it.
“He Would not do it,” Mr. Schwab
continued. He said there were ex-
planations and reasons.
Here the steel man’s voice became
husky and his frame shook with sup-
pressed sobs.
“I hope you will excuse me, Mr.
Chairman and gentlemen,” he started
to continue... But here his voice broke
again. For a moment he endeavored
to control himself but without success.

that if the reports stated that he be-

knowledge of this alleged agreement
from General Goethals and Mr. Hur-
ley they were correct in that also.
Mr. Franklin was appointed advisor
to General Goethals and to Mr. Den-
man in 1917 by the National Council
of Defense, and later was given con-
trol of all American commerce dur-
ing the war.

New York, Jan. 25.—Overcome by
his emotions, Charles M. Schwab
temporarily broke down on the wit-
ness stand today before the Walsh
congressional committee which is in-
vestigating affairs of the United
States shipping board. With his eyes
filled he denied charges of previous
witnesses that $100,000 of a $260,000
voucher charged to his account in the
Bethlehem Corporation had been al-
located to expense of construction of
government ships.
Mr. Schwab had been recalled to
give testimony regarding ship con-
struction matters during his term as
director-general of the emergency
fleet corporation. At the conclusion
of this testimony his attention was
called by Representative S. M. Fors-
ter to testimony that since making
his denial last Friday of the charges
he had conferred with Purley Morse,
of Purley-Morse & Company, the au-
ditors who found the alleged voucher.
Mr. Schwab admitted that he had
talked with Mr. Morris, stating that

Washington, Jan. 25.—The number
of persons employed in industries in
this country the first of this month
numbered 3,473,466 less than the num-
ber employed a year ago, the Depart-
ment of labor’s employment service
announced tonight on the basis of a
first nation-wide survey just com-
pleted by a special staff of investiga-
tors.
Director John E. Densmore said this
figure did not necessarily represent
the number of persons actually un-
employed, as it was quite possible
that some of the workers had found
employment in agricultural or other
pursuits not covered by the survey.
On the other hand, some officials
believed the army of unemployed pos-
sibly was larger than the figures
given, as no effort was being made
to ascertain the reduction in the num-
ber of persons employed in pursuits
other than those classed under the
head of “mechanical industry.”
The employment service figures
represented a reduction of 36.9 per
