FAvoRs EXPORT BOUNTY.
Ill. f.. PenneII Believes Treasury
Should Aid Shippers

1'hOuiu AiU olIippEIS.
II. p. Pennell, vice president of the
Shipowners' Association, whose ideas
were more strongly developed as to the
benefits that would be derived through
the operation of an export bounty law
was the next to offer his suggestions
to the commission. AS he is an expert
on the question of lumber expectations,
Pennell used this product and its rela-
ton to the shipping industry as the
oasis or his argument. In part he said:
In the interest Of the American ship 1 pro-
pose that the Federal Government shall pay a
uouhty 10 the carrier amounting TO S2 a
thousand rect on lumber. and 81 80 ton on
merchandise, on all lumber and merchandise
carried In American vessels whether steam
or sail bound from an American port TO a
believe that the payment to the American
snip OF such bounty as l have mentioned
would not only stimulate shipping and ship
ping interests, but also place our ships in an
lnVuinerable position on the ocean; for, al
though the subsidy of the French and other
Governments has undoubtedly been the means
py which our own producers have received re-
munerative returns from their exports by sea,
ping property. by compelling our ships either
TO operate at loss to their owners. or to retire
from active service TO await relief from our
Government
The principal export by sea from the Pacific
Coast in locally owned vessels is lumber. Ex-
perience has plainly demonstrated that when
the foreign ship appears the freight the
commodity becomes demoralized and declines
materially and every year more foreign
tonnage is dispatched 70 this coast than is
required TO move our grain crop the surplus
Of this tonnage In order that IL may leave the
coast with cargo is offered for lumber at any
rate IL get. This condition. therefore, is the
reason that the foreign ship is making to-
day, as 1t has in the past the rate Of freight
for which our locally owned vessels have to
carry lumber to Australia, Africa. South Amer
lea, China and Japan; and this condition Is
bound to continue; but that 1t may not drive
our own vessels out altogether let them have
an ADEQUATE bounty the commodities which
competition and stay in the business OF
transporting our coast productions.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Pennells
remarks an adjournment was taken
until 2 o'clock. The members of the
commission, as the guests of the Ship
owners Association. then repaired to
the Pacific-Union Club, where they par
took of luncheon. There were no
speeches nor did formality in any way
mark the progress of the dinner. The
Commissioners were tired from their
mornings work, and they enjoyed the
relaxation of the hour or more of free
dom from shop talk" 1t was 2:30
o'clock when the Commissioners and
their hosts returned in automobiles to
the Chamber of Commerce and re-
opened the hearing

other way consideration was required.
il was in the fact that ships subsidized
by the United States and flying the
American flag could be turned over to
the Government at any time in case of
need. This represented the highest type
of consideration and one which the
Government recognized when the war
with Spain broke out and the country
was without sufficient ships to carry
the troops needed to conquer the COM
mon enemy. By his nod of approval it
was evident that Senator Gallinger
took the same view of the situation.

WANTS LAW AMENDED.

j. j. Parker Seeks to Better Affairs Of
Licensed Officers.
J. ]. Parker, representing the Ameri-
can Association of Licensed Off1cers OF
Sailing Vessels, was called upon to ex-
press his views. He said the organiza-
tion of which he was a member strong
ly recommended that the present law
be amended so that all vessels between
700 tons, the present minimum size,
and 100 tons be compelled to carry two
licensed officers. Two hundred and
seventy-six of these vessels, he said,
now sail the Pacific and the majority
of them carry but one licensed officer
capable of navigating the vessels. Sup
posing this lone navigator should be-
come i'll and die. he asked, what would
become of vessel and crew If no one on
board could read the sun and the
stars? They would be left to the
providence of God.
Representative Minor Interrupted
and said that while he believed the
minimum should be placed much low
er, he was not sure that Congress
would be willing to place the figure
as low as 100 tons, as such an act
would surely force many of the smaller
vessels out of business, the profit Of
their operations not permitting the
employment Of two licensed officers
Parker said he. would be willing to ac-
cept a figure higher than he had
placed it if he had to. He asked for all
he would like to get, but would be con-
tented with all he could get. When
Parker made the suggestion that ship
masters be compelled to give all men
certificates of discharge, setting forth
their qualifications in order that such
certificates might be Of aid to them in
time of need, Andrew Furuseth inter
rupted and said:
This is a very bad plan. 1t was
tried by foreign countries and found
wanting, as the ship masters used the
law for purposes of blacklisting men
and it only resulted in driving many
good men out of the service The Ger
tificates OF many ship masters cannot
be depended upon and they hid many
an offense against their men by holding
over them the law that gave the mas
ters discretionary power to fix the
qualifications Of men on such certif-
Gates" Parker was forced to admit
that perhaps such conditions would
follow the enactment Of the law he had
proposed.

STRANGE CRAFT LAUNCHED
FROM ROOF OF BUILDING

XuAHbupic IrOpcIIer Isllncns con-
structed in Heart of Manhattan,
Now i'm Waters of Bay.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-From a roof
in the heart of Manhattan and with
hundreds of unlimited but interested
witnesses assembled below the quintu-
pie propeller launch Damit, invented
by Thomas B. Taylor, a Cornell man,
was launched this afternoon-not into
the water, but on a dray. Ultimately
the strange craft, which may result in
a three day transatlantic run, reached
the waters of North River. but not un-
til a team Of strong horses had strained
their way with it to Seventy-ninth
street.
The boat is an experiment following
the successful trial of a small model.
If the expectations of Taylor are real
lied his invention will result in increas-
ing the speed of steam craft so per

TRAINING SCHOOL BRoACHED.
Captain L. @. Robinson Advances Sug-
gestion That Is Well Received.

captain IL. q. kODlnSOn Advances Sug-
gestiOn That Is Well Received.
Captain L. c. Robinson. shipping su-
perintendent Of the Shipowners' Asso-
citation, advanced a unique suggestion
for the benefit Of the merchant marine.
He said he thought conditions would
be bettered if each coast State would
establish a training school under Gov
ernment supervision and aid. This, he
said, would insure the training Of men
that could always be called upon by
the Government to man it's battleships
and cruisers in time Of war. It would
further the policy to expand the navy
and would always keep in reserve men
that could be relied upon in time OF
need.
A. Chesebrough submitted a paper,
which was read by the secretary OF the
commission. The author pointed to the
deplorabIe decadence OF the American
merchant marine and then to the won
derful growth Of that Of the Japanese
and the French To the liberal subsidy
allowed by these last named govern
ments he attributed the success Of
their efforts to control their portion OF
the worlds commerce.
In conclusion, he said that national
safety, national honor and national
strength rested on the merchant ma
rne and that II II was to be what It
once was the Government must lend
financial aid. He declared unequivO-
cally against free ships. saying that
he favored home builders. AS a rem
edy for existing conditions he strongly
advocated a general subsidy and a spe-
cially liberal subsidy to those vessels
so constructed that they can be con-
verted into cruisers for the defense Of
the nation.
A. l. Wilson, representing the Cali
fornia Harbor Association Of Masters
and Pilots. spoke in favor Of a general
subsidy on all classes Of vessels. in
proportion to their tonnage. He also
suggested that a pension fund be es-
tablished for the benefit Of all sailors
that had served before the mast for a
period of more than twenty years the
fund to be raised through the deduc-
tiOn Of certain portion Of the wages
paid all sailors on American vessels.
His suggestion caused Furuseth to
smile. for statistics show that out OF
the 1900 sailors that have shipped
from this port in the last twenty years
but 81 had served the term suggested
by Wilson as the goal where labor
ends and the pension begins.
Mr.. Wilson was the last witness Of
the day. At the conclusion of his
statement an adjournment was taken
until 10 o'clock this morning. It was
announced that r. p. Schwerin, pres
ident of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company; Captain /. E. Thayer and
, other prominent men will appear be-
fore the commission at this mornings
session.
At the conclusion of yesterday after
Moons session Senator Gallinger said:
We have received many good sug-
gestons here What we are after is
Iaets, and we have been getting them.

Interesting Statistics.

Robert Dollar. president of the Dollar
Steamship Company, was the first to
address the commission at the after
noon session. He directed his address
to the expense of constructing and
maintaining American vessels. He
pointed out that it costs twice as much
to construct a steel ship in America as
it does in foreign yards. This is partly
due, he said, to the astounding fact that
American steel costs So ton more at
