For The Poor

In Weston-upon-Trent, a village near here, where for fifty years she kept a general drapery store, the people called Miss Annie Shaw “a mean woman.”

Startling charges against the crews of United States liners and merchant vessels-drunkenness, and insulting conduct towards passengers were made by a ship's captain before a Senate Committee which is considering amendments to the Maritime Shipping Act.

Passengers and officers supported his evidence, but the allegations were denied by officials of the men's union. The captain, who asked that his name should be kopt secret ("Otherwise I am liable to have a bullet in my back"), declared roundly:
