tion's benefits, to the broader and more essential benefits the whole people will derive from the investment of American capital in American ships for our foreign carrying trade
 These generalties may not seem to I e a direct answer to the question propound- ed, but they are, nevertheless, essential to proper understanding of the basic reasons upon which the nations aid is in- voked for the upbuilding of this industry. IL seems to me that the construction of our own ships, and their operation under our own flag by our own people. appeals more to the national welfare, to the na- tlonal security and to the peoples patri- otism, than is possible with regard to any other great national industry.
 The mineral sections of the South will, If the pending shipping bill Is passed, find an additional home market for a larger portion of their products at once, since 1t Is of metal almost exclusively that ships are now built As I have said elsewhere, l know of steamship lines that will be established to run between our Southern seaports and the West Indies, Central and South America, and even up the Medlte-- ranean, if this bill Is passed. The mo- nopoly of our carrying from Southern seaports enjoyed by foreign ships will yield to the rivalry of newly built, more economical, better American ships, able
 
 rates than they are now carried, and thus affording increased opportunities for the producers of our surplus products to increase their surplus. Paradoxical as 1t may seem to ask for national aid to ena- ble our ships to compete with foreign ships and at the same time promise re- dnction In freight charges, nevertheless, precisely that is true. The pending ship ping bill is but stepping stone. It's passage will justify men with money to put it into ships. The success of these ships, sustained as they will be for pe- riod of time with government aid. will attract still more capital Into shtpyards and into ships, and when the provisions of the bill cease to operate, at the end of a quarter of a century at the farthest. believe that the further necessity of gov ernment aid, at least upon any large scale, will have disappeared. l look, in deed, to see the shipbulding industry of the United States become the industrial giant that some of the other industries that have been encouraged and fostered by government protection have now be- come, and I look for this nowhere more rapidly and nowhere more permanently than in the. South.
 1 believe that new shipyards will be speedily established in several of the more advantageously located Southern seaports. which will consume the miner als taken from Southern mines, by South ern workmen, and l shall not be sur prised if the metal shpbuildng industry becomes in time to the South what the wooden shipbuilding industry was to the East when the chief shipbuilding material was wood.

time the measure was first introduced in Congress two years ago. It is entirely foreign to the desires of the American people, and quite so to the framers of the bill and to its advocates in and out of Congress. to make 1t a basis for the in- Yestment of new American capital in for eign ships. The bill provides for the eon- struction in American shipyards of all of the vessels that shall receive any ben eflts under the bill, except the few that were, as 1 have said. built or building abroad for our people when the bill was introduced originally. And the total of all of this foreign built tonnage, to be admitted under the rigorous conditions and provisions stated, will not be able 10 carry over three or four per cent. or our foreign commerce.
 The amount of compensation is based primarily upon the size of the vessels, sail and steam, and the distance they may traverse To this Is added what Is called speed compensation" for vessels Of twelve knots and up to eighteen knots, and the compensation in all cases Is so fixed as to merely cover the higher cost or American construction and operation, as comUared with British cost of con- struction and operation. If the bill proves to be too liberal in it's provisions, 1t will be sure to attract greater amount of American capital into American ships in our foreign trade, and its benefits will the more rapidly be distributed among tho larger number of our citizens and among a greater number of our ships. But 1t has been too closely scrutinized. and subjected to too many tests during Its two years of publicity in and out of Congress, for it to be possible for excess sive compensation to be paid to any ships
 It Is not my desire, nor Is 1t the desire of Congress, I am sure, to place any measure upon the national statutes, es- pecially In order to establish great nl- tional industry. that shall to any consid- erable degree fail of it's purpose, And !t is the result of the most careful study covering a period of several years, that mas brought me to the belief that this measure Is an equitable one, and one that if enacted, will effect the establishment Of a great American mercantile marine In the foreign carrying trade, alike bene- ficial to each section of the union, and promotive of it's industries and prosper

THE NEW KING
Has Frequently Been Heavy Plunger
 In American Stocks.
N. Spe. to Chicago Times-Herald.
 q l .1. ..e s.A..

N. Y Spe. to Chicago Times-Herald.
 Forty-five hundred shares of stock were traded in yesterday on the New York Stock Exchange for account of Edward VII, King of Great Britain and Ireland. He speculated heavily at times and was a firm believer in his own judgment as to the value of se- curities.
 At the present time the new mon- arch is interested in American securi- ties to the extent of $5,000000 in his own name, and a division of his mothers personal estate will give him direct control of stocks and bonds of American institutions aggregating an additional $2,000,000 He will also fall heir to mortgages and real estate in- vestments of American origin, to which Queen Victoria was particularly partial.
 During the bull market two years ago the then Prince of Wales profited handsomely by his consistently backed belief in higher prices for American stocks. He traded heavily, both in London and in this city, and is re- puted to have "cleaned up" S3,000,000. He held on too long, however, but sold before all profits disappeared.
 Last September he got in the mar ket again when the bulge began and held on. His profits must have been very heavy.

Coming to MassilIon to
Attend Dedication.
EVENT POSTPONED
On Account Of Delay In the
Completion Of the Mckin-
ley Building at State
Hospital.
From a STAFF Correspondent.

From Staff Correspondent.
Columbus, Nov. 16.-Governor Nash
has consented to be present and deliver
an address at the dedication of the
Mckinley building at the Massillon
state hospital. The date originally
fixed for the event was December 3,
but owing to the fact that the build
ing will not be ready for occupancy
at that time the dedication will not
take place until about
THREE WEEKS LATER.
The building was originally designed
and the foundations laid with the in
tention of making it an administration
hall, but remonstrance was made
against the expenditure of 100000,
which would have been required for
the project; SO the plans were changed
and made to provide for the erection
of a smaller structure. combining an
amusement hall, chapel, superinten-
dents residence and other general
utility apartments. This is the build
ing which is to bear the
NAME OF MKINLEY,
the late lamented president. The Mas
sillon state hospital was projected and
established during the period Mckinley
served as governor, and the appoint
ment of the first board of trustees of
the institution was one of his official
acts. Mr. Mckinley took deep in
terest in the affairs of the hospital.
and the trustees feel that 1t is espe-
cially befitting that one of its addi-
tions should bear his name. The fol-
lowing letter, relative to Governor
exercises, from DR.. Henry c. Eyman.
superintendent of the Massillon state
hospital, was received at the chief ex-
ecutive's Office yesterday:

he said that he expected to SO to

amauga it would be quite agreeable to
us. The 10th, 18th, 18th, 10Th, Goth or

well. However. If he has arranged his

by the trustees will be satisfactory to

PYTHIAN HOME.
candaI Arises From the Let
ting of the Contract For
Its Erection.

Columbus, o., Nov. 1S.-George w.
Schneider, a contractor of Springfield,
O., makes serious charges against the
grand trustees of the Order of Knights
of Pythias of this state in the matter of
awarding the contract for building a
home for the aged and infirmed.
The contract was awarded to the
John Houser Co. of Dayton, last Fri
day, Schneider, it is said, being nearly
$4,000 lower in the bid.
Schneider asserts that the award
was invalid, because but two of the
five trustees were present, William
Kirchner of Dayton and George Love
of Steubenville, the latter being the
chairman of the board. A meeting
was to have been held in this city Sun
day, at the Chittenden hotel to con-
slider the charges, but because of the
illness of Architect Packard, 1t did not
take place.
Schneider declares that he will seek
to enjoin the executing Of the contract
and will sue the trustees for $4,000
damages.
He asserts that he was promised the
award and made all preparations t1
proceed with the work. Chairman
Love, he states, informed him that the
reason for awarding the bid to the
Houser Co. was that 1t was considered
the best for the interests of the order
