OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
Hearing on Senator Frye's Bill to increase
Our Shipping and Commerce.

Washington. Jan. 12.-Thc Senate
committee on commerce, today, began
hearings on Senator Frye's bill to pro
mote the commerce and increase the
foreign trade Of the United States and
to prCVide auxiliary cruisers, trans
ports and seamen for government use
when necessary-the measure formerly
known as the subsidy bill.
Former Senator Edmunds made an
explanation Of the bill, saying that one
place the vessels OF American register
upon equal footing with foreign built
vessels in the trade with cuba. Puerto
Rico. Hawaii and the Philippines.
Another object was to provide for
fast vessels of large capacity, not only
that they should be able to carry great
cargops to ports Of destination quickl".
but that they should be vessels like
the New York. Paris. etc, capable Of
being changed quickly into defenders.
\ long discussion was precipltated
by an inquiry Of Senator Martin as to
why il was provided by the bill that so
per cent. of a ship applying for regis
try and the subsidy should be owned
by Americans Mr.. Edmunds regarded
the provision as necessary to insure
practical American ownership and con-
troll.
In this connection. Senator Frye said
it was the principle of the bill to bring
under the United States flag American
owned ships. manned by Americans.
which had been compelled by financial
considerations to sail under foreign
nag. The vessels under the American
flag would be able successfully to COM
pete with foreign ships only because
Of the subsidy provided for in the = nd
ing bill.
Louis Nixon. n shipbuilder Of Eliza
bethport. n j.. said tlat American
shipoNnrrs had monopoly of tn"
roastWise trade. but the pending bill
had little to do with that. 1t was the
trade On the ocean with foreign ports
which it was propos q 10 get. The cost
of vessels ana their operation under tn"
American flag were much greater than
they We're III Europe.

Mccoy having escaped defeat in the

almost two seconds after the bell had
rung for the completion of the third

Among these is one permitting arresting
officers to carry concealed weapons a
measure of self protection almost vitality
essential in the les thiekly populated SEE
tons Of the state. where every desperate
is armed to the te5 tn. When an officer
seeks to arrest criminal of this charac-
ter, as enc of the members of the asse-
citation said last night, he takes the
states warrant in one hand and his life
in another" If he displays a weapon ne
defeats his own purpose, while if he is
altogether without one he is very likely
to be brought back himself, rather than
to bring back his prospective prisoner.
Sheriff r. E. overly has a resolution
which he will introduce at one of the
sessions of the association, possibly tha,
of this morning, 1t provides that the
officers in each county shall make up a
list Of criminals wanted in that county
for crime and send it to the state printer
The list shall be arranged alphabetically
and printed, copies being furnished to the
various officers in each county. 1t IS
hoped to secure the cooperation of the
Legislature in the enactment of such a
law. Similar plans have been tried, and
followed by much success in effecting the
c. pture of prisoners, in other states.
