Of the United States Shipbuilding Company. Lewis
Nixon president of the company said yesterday:
There was no necessity for RSbcock & Wilcox
a of seizure against the Chatta-
nooga. Two thirds of the money due the boil
had been paid. and the balance will be paid
money without the least trouble, and their action
can be accounted for only on the ground that they
are taking precautions.

Keasbey & Sons of Newark, who made the appli-
ca ton Supreme Court Commissioner John a.
Miller of Newark for the writ OF attachment on
the cruiser Chattanooga, said yesterday that the
action was taken under the lien law of NewJersey.
The action was covered entirely by the act of 1857.
That law sets forth that If debt is contracted for
work done or for materials furnished for the con-
structon of a vessel IN the State, lien prior to
all other claims except marine wages can be issued
Mr.. Keasbey said that the boilers were contracted
for in March 1900 and duly delivered and
placed in the vessel The contractors paid $4,000 of
the amount the boilers. When the writ was
in Eliza bethport and stated that work the vessel
could be continued. there desire to OBJ
struct or delay the finishing Of the ship. The power
Of the State court to issue such a writ had been
esta hshed by a decision of the Supreme Court in a
similar case where there had been question as to
whether the proceedings must be brought in the
United States Court. Commissioner Miller said
that the law gave full power for issuance of tho
writ and a the facts presented justified the writ
the application had accordingly been granted
