TIMES INTERVIEWS HIMSELF.
"Polk county will surely be for
Dunn" said a well known politician
of the city yesterday in speaking
of the race for the republican NOM
ination for governor. s'There is a
general feeling that Collins has been
we'll cared for and Dunn is entitled
to the nomination. Dunn is very
popular among the leading republi-
cans of this county. He also has
strong following in other coun-
ties in the northwestern part of the
state. Eddy has been out of the
race for some time. Few people
took his candidacy seriously at any
time. While there may something
develop between now and the time
of county convention is held it
looks to me as though Dunn would
have but little or no opposition"
A newspaper man can always get
the kind of an interview he wants
if he interviews the right man.

MIGHT HIT AUTOS"
Napktha BIZ Likely to Include
Chaufeurs as Engineers.
TrRox THE TEIBUNE EUKEaU.l

washington. Feb 4-Arguments were pre-
scented to-day at a hearing before the House
Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries
against General Grosvenor's bill. placing ali
small naphtha and other power launches under
the control OF licensed engineers The general
trend OF thu arguments against the proposition
was the absolute uselessness OF any such legis-
lation, ana the hardship that its enforcement
would work on the owners OF small craft under
fifteen tons burden.
Among those who appeared in opposition 20
the measure were John J. Amerie. Of New-York;
r. H. sutDhen. OF New-Jersey; Mr.. Eldenriec.
OF Philadelphia. and Mr. Shoemaker. Of Detroit.
no action was taken. and further hearing in
favor OF the bill Will be held on February is.
The bill under consideration is practically the
same as several measures previously intro
duced. For the last fifteen years repeated ef-
forts have been made. through the Introduction
OF bills in both branches OF Congress. to bring
gasolene naphtha and electric launches under
the regulations governing steam craft. The his
tory Of this legislation shows that in 1887 a hin
was passed requiring all vessels Of fifteen tons
burden or over carrying freight or passengers
for hire to come under the steamboat laws.
An effort was made in 1900 TO include launches
OF less than fifteen tons burden. but II was de-
/ feated, and 70 further attempt was made 70
change the existing law until General Grosvenor
/ Introduced the bill now under consideration.
Opponents Of the proposed Legislation contend
] that it's ensctment into law would mean IN
! just.hable infringement OF personal rights end
/ would tend solely TO enlarge the demand for
/ engineers and force their employment where no
actual necessity exists for their services. 1t is
argued that inasmuch the law now requires
! regular licensed engineers FOR craft OF such
size as to demand their services sll that is nee
! essary for proper protection has been done.
/ The proposition to include in that class the
extremely small launches is regarded as open
! TO the graNest criticism.
! Il If openly charged by those opposing the
/ legislation that it is backed by organizations
! that desire its passage because OF the benefit
l that would accrue to many Of their members
! whose tnefacicncy or habits now bar them from
] holding positions Of responsibility on vessels
/ actually needing such services
| Another point urged against the bill Is the
possibility OF the extension Of its provisions TO
| Automobiles because many OF those cars are
| propelled by the same kind Of power as is men,
4 toned in this measure. Mr. Grosvenor took &C.
1 casIon 10 express his opinion OF automobiles in
| tbs connection, declaring with considersb bic
4 feeling that they had killed ard manned many
/ persons had practically driven the horse from
| he streets OF washington. and other cities. and
