PROMISES WERE PLENTIFUL
Charles Epps Was Shipped to Rotter-
dam Against His Will-Many
Similar Cases Alleged.

Department of Commerce and Labor
officials are awaiting with much interest
the outcome of several cases of shang-
haiing at Norfolk which have been
brought to their attention and which
they have investigated. These, it is ex-
pected, will come before the Federal
grand jury of that district One of them

dam on the British steamship. Allie

He was finally sent home by the Ameri-
can consul. He accuses shipping agent
at Norfolk. and the Department of Com
merce and Labor has been looking into
the facts closely and will submit it's
evidence in this and several other cases
to the next grand jury.
Practice is Decreasing.
An official of the department said yes
terday there is little real shanehaiing
nowadays, as the term is generally un-
derstood. and it is seldom a man is
violently treated and forced on ship
board against his will. He said the
cases were generally in the nature Of
swindling, men being lured aboard of
ships when half drunk through promises
Of big wages or other returns equally
Elusive.
Norfolk is said to be point where
this industry fiourishes, as many ships
from Gulf ports stop there to coal be-
fore crossing the Atlantic. When coal

men. Consequently shippers are apt to

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
AGAIN TO Be PRESSED
Department of Commerce
Prepares Statistics.
FOR USE BY CONGRESSMAN
Are to Show Advantages Given Foreign
Ship Owners Over Those of United
States by Premiums.

At the request OF several Senator's
and Representatives who are interested
in the matter the Bureau of Statistics
OF the Department of Commerce and
Labor has begun the preparation of
tables showing the effect OF foreign
subsidies upon the merchant marine of
the world. 1t is the intention of the
Senators and Representatives to use the
tables in the contest they intend to
make at the coming session of Cong
res5 for the ship subsidy bill. which
is now thought to be needed, and which
the friends of the measure have no
doubt is going to be passed.
Senator Hanna and his colleagues
from seaport States. including Senator
Frye OF Maine. intend to push the
measure. and they are to be aided by
the New England and New York Rep
resentatives.
Subsidies Necessary.
1t appears many of the leaders of
Congress have come to believe as do
the statesmen OF many OF the other big
nations-that In order to upbuild and
sustain a merchant marine subsidies
are necessary.
In the case of the United States they
are certain OF their ground. as some
thing has to be done to Offset the diff
ference in wages. both in the construc-
ton OF ships and the operation of
them.
In preparing the tables some inter-
esting facts have been developed. One
of these is that at the present time
there are only three sailing ships. at
sea under the flag OF the United States
carrying cargoes of oil. against more
than half hundred ten years ago The
oil is now being carried in French sail
ing ships. which have been able to kill
the American trade because OF the sub
sidy paid them by their government.
Underbid American Ships.
With these payments behind them it
has been easy for them to carry car
goes out of American ports cheaper
than the native ships French vessels
are now carrying all OF the oil from the
California fields to the far East.
Another fact developed so far is that
japan is planning to build UP an i'm
mense merchant marine by the pay
ment of subsidies. Advices from there
state. that vessels are being built in
larger numbers. than. ever before, and
when the next budget is submitted to
the Japanese parliament IL is going to
contain provision for the beginning
OF a subsidy.

MICHIGAN CLUB BANQUET.
The Dove of Peace lowered over the Vast
Assemblage.

The 18th annual banquet Of the Mich
igan club at the Hotel Cadillac in Detroit
last Friday night was the most brilliant
event in the clubs history. Four hun
stretched the full length of the large
banquet hall. The speakers table was
set on platform at the north end of the
hall under canopy of flags AID bunt-
ing, facing a great flag-draped portrait
of President Roosevelt that hung over
the entrance TO the banquet hall. The
following are a few Of the bright remarks
heard at the banquet table:
GAS soldier, business man, war secre-
tary and senator, Russell A Alger tax es
rank with the ablest and best, a worthy
successor to Cass and Chandler, the two
great statesmen that New Hampshire
contributed to this magnificent and
imperial commonwealth.
"Our progress under the Dingley tariff
has been such that we no longer compare
the United States with other nations,
but with all the rest Of the world COM
bined. We are today practically inde-
pendent of the rest of the earth. In
another generation. If the present system
of protection is continued, the people Of
the United States and territories will
equal or surpass in production, con-
sumption and wealth all of the rest Of
the world"
1.-THE Republican party through all it's
history has bravely met and successfully
solved every great public question that
has demanded its attention. Its entire
record is one of honor, and its achieve
ments are it's glory and its PRIDE"
"The Republican party is not the
party Of capital against labor, nor the
party of labor against capital Between
the two il holds the scale of equal and
exact justice, the friend Of both, the
enemy of peither. AS such, in the
future as is the past, it will be found on
the side Of human rights, OF personal
liberty, of wise tariff laws and of sound
currency legislation"
