FREE SHIPS.

An important part Of the Presidents
message is that IN reference TO free
ships. The present law, which is de-
nounced as 20 relic Of barbarism," is a
prohibition Of the right Of American
registry TO a ship bought in a foreign
market. 1t is a reproach to our gov
eminent that such statute exists and
il has had an important agency in the
decay Of the American merchant ma
rine.
When ships were free, as far back
as ls43, the tonnage Of registered
American vessels was 1,OO9, 3O5 In
1901 this had increased 70 2,642,62S
tons, but in 1894 it was only GIG, $50
tons. In 1898 the American tonnage
was 500, sos. This was the lowest
point reached since 1899, when the
registered tonnage of the country was
s34,245.
In 1861 the total merchant marine,
including the coast trade, had ton
mage of $3.50 Sl3. In 1894 this had
fallen to a tonnage of 100000. The
loss had been in vessels engaged in for
eign commerce, for the tonnage Of the
coasting trade has increased.
In 1857 vessels Of 2s5. ASP tons were
built on the American seabOard. In
1894 the tonnage OF the vessels built on
our seacoast was only $4,000.
In 1916 100 ships and barks were built
in the United States and POS steam ves-
sells. In 1857 251 ships and barks and
972 steam vessels were built in the coun-
try. In 1856 and the years following
the ships and barks built numbered as
follows: 1856. eight; 1887, seven; 1855,
four; 1889, one; 1890, ten; 1894, three.
The building Of steam vessels, almost
exclusively for cOasting trade, increas-
ed until in 1882 SOP were built. In 1890
a subsidy was granted to encourage the
building OF ocean steamships. In that
year 40 steam vessels were built. In
1894 only 293 steam vessels were built in
the country.

ARRESTED TOR STEALING.
A YOUNG ISLAND BOY LOCKED UP LAST
MIGHT
On the Charge Of Raiding CELLARS and Hen Houses.
The Long Series of RObbsriss in the Seventh
Ward Will Now Probably Cease.

For 8 couple OF weeks past thieves
have been raidlng hen roosts, out
buildings and cellars on the upper por-
ton OF the Island, carrying away food
OF various sorts, canned goods, pre-
serves, chickens, tools, and such other
portable property as the rascals could
get their hands on. Among the victims
were Ed. Schenerlien, William Dillon,
V. Herbert, OF the Island Chemical
company, l. X. McCue, and others.
Six or eight hen houses were raided'
and the matter became so annoying TO
the residents of the central and mp
per portion Of the Island, that the
aid of the police was invoked, and
officer Porter was detailed to work up
the case. The officer soon located the
thieves ia the persons OF squad OF
half-grown boys. and several OF them,
when charged with the crimes, at first
Indignantly denied the soft impeach-
ment. They were confronted with evil
dences of their guilt, however, when
they weakened, and some OF them gave
I'D some tools taken from Foreman Her
bert's tool box at the Island hose house.
Last evening Officer Porter arrested
George Smith, aged sixteen, who
seemed to be the ring-leader In the
thieving, and he was taken to the City
Hall and locked up. He is alleged TO
have alone robbed several places, steal
ing a number Of chickens, seemingly
Just for the sake of stealing, for after
getting the fowls be wrung their heads
off and threw them away.
Smith will probably be taken before
a Justice this morning and held TO an
swer on State warrant. None OF the
other boys have been arrested, as the
victims of their stealing decline to
prosecute them, being content to have
the loss and annoyance stopped.

ROASTING THE PHYSICIANS.

The Western Reserve Medical Jour
nal for December contains an editorial
article on Preventive Medicine and
the Medical Profession" which states
some facts which are surprising and
unpleasant to The unprofessional read
er. The article relates TO the present
epidemic Of scarlet fever and the fall
ure Of many physicians TO report cases
to the health department or do any
thing which would tend to insure the
safety Of the public at the expense Of
some annoyance to their patients and
their families.

lsveland Leader says it had supposed
hat this sort Of civic disloyalty was
confined TO a few practitioners Of very
inferior standing. 1t seems, however,
shat the offenders are numerous and,

the medical journal, "scOreS Of fragrant

Two very important games were play
ed at Wheeling Park last night. The
contesting teams were the La Bellies
and nameless OF the Wheeling, The
two teams were tied for second place,
and consequently the struggle was a
hard one. The La Bellies had slight
advantage in that they were bowling on
their home alleys, and to this fact may
be attributed their victories, as the
teams are very evenly matched. BY
winning both games the La Bellies hold
undispuIed possession OF second place,
and are but two games behind the
lucky Brownies. The Nameless team
drops down to fourth place, the BoWlers
going up one notch.

in individual work, closely followed by

The news concerning the character Of
the terms Of peace likely to be imposed
By Japan upon her demoralized foe must,
in the nature Of things, be largely con-
jectural. The Japanese are as good
statesmen as they are successful war
riors, and are not addicted to babbling
with respect to future political plans
any more than With regard to their mil
ltary operations. One thing is evident,
however, from the whole tenor Of ia
paness public opinion as revealed in adj
vices received at the japanese legation

with her whole available force any at

or any combination Of powers to coercs
her into surrendering one jot Of the
