THE INFANTRYMEN DEFEATED.
Eastern Athletics Win n Decisive
Game of BnsketbaII.

In the presence OF large crowd Of en-
thusiastic spectators the basketball team
of the Eastern Athletic Club last night de-
feated the Washington Light Infantry
team by a score of 16 to IL. The game was
one of the most fiercely contested. and at
the same time one OF the cleanest, that has
ever been played by either OF these teams.
The teams are at the top Of the list in the
championship race. and the game last
night practically decided the champion
ship. although the season is not by any
means finished. The Eastern team mas one
more game against the Light Infantry. but
it is not probable that the latter will be
able to do better than they did last night.
The winning team clearly outpiayed their
opponents on every point and the game
was won strictly by superior passing and
team work.
Probably. the best work on the entire
team was done by Dunn the right forward
He missed three free throws that would
have helped make the score larger. but his
passing and throwing from the field was a
feature. He was responsible for three Of

SHIP SUBSIDIES WANTED.
Argument Before the House Commit.
tee on Merchant Marine.

President Griscom, of the International
Navigation Company, and former Senator
Edmunds. on behalf OF certain shipowners
appeared before the House Committee on
Merchant Marine yesterday in support of
the HannaPayne Shipping bill. Their ar
guments were not materially different from
those which they presented on similar oc-
casions before the House and Senate com
mittees OF the last Congress.
Mr.. Griscom spoke OF the need OF ship
subsidies if the United States wanted its
merchant marine to compete with other
nations which did give subsidies.
Mr.. Fitzgerald asked how many vessels
OF his line were operated under foreign
flags and how many they proposed TO bring
under American registry in case the bill
passed.
Mr.. Griscom replied that they had eleven
ships. OF which they proposed to register
i've, leaving the other six under foreign
registry.
Mr. Fitzgerald could not see why all the
ships should not be registered, and Mr.
Griscom explained that some Of the ships
we're too slow or too old to be benefited
sufficiently under the act by a change of
registry TO offset the additional expense Of
operating under American registry.
Senator Edmunds explained the bill by
sections, being closely questioned, partic-
ulsrly on the provision limiting the annual
subsidy TO s9,000.000 and the time during
which such contracts can be made to ten
years.
Several members OF the committee in1i-
Gated a belief that when the subsidy was
exhausted the stimulus would be removed
and shipbuilding would stop; that when
the ten years expired no more vessels
would be constructed.
To this both Senator Edmunds and Mr.
Griscom dissented, as they claimed the
marine industry would be on its feet by
that time. Senator Edmunds thought the
idea that the export trade OF the United
States could be promoted by the payment
OF export bounties was advanced By the
railroads, who hoped TO profit by the pay
ment OF such bountles. He also thought
discriminating duties would fail TO ac-
complish the purpose, as this was a game
two could play and would lead to Tetalis-
ton. While war vessels were sometimes
constructed In this country as cheap, or
cheaper than in England. the conditions
applying TO the merchant vesseis were
different
In reply to a question by Representative
Wachier of Maryland, Mr.. Edmunds stated
that under the bill most Of the trade would
be carried by the liners and the ''tramps"
would get only what was left, and only
American "tramps' would get any trade
Louis nixon, shipbuilder OF Eliza
bethport, y. j., also appeared In behalf

has informed the proper British authorities tina
if said detention IS persisted IN such act will be
considered as without warrant and offensive TO
the Government and people Of the United

Senator Plat of Connecticut argued that
the resolution should be modified in that

tained without warrant OF law. On OBJ
lection to the immediate consideration of
the resolution by Mr.. Lodge. 1t went over
Senator Butler introduced a joint Ieso-
luton declaring THE duty power and pur-
pose OF Congress to destroy trusts by re-
moving the causes that produce them, to
