ASK SUBSIDY FOR
MERCHANT MARINE
sMpbuilders and Owners Testify
Before Commission Appoint
ed By Congress.

New York, May 2 The Merchant
Marine commission appointed by the
last congress to inquire into the causes
Of the decline Of American shipping
and to suggest remedial measures as a
basis OF legislation, continued its hear
ing to-day.
William G.. Sewall. representing the
firm of Arthur Sewall & Co., of
Bath, Maine, which has built some Of
the largest sail cargo-carrying ships in
the world for the foreign trade, said
that his yard, which was established
in 1923, had been closed during the
last year because OF dullness in the
ship-building industry.
He said he had no faith in free
ships that 1t is q distinctly I'M
American measure. Discriminating
duties he did not favor entirely. Some
bill granting a bounty on the basis OF
mileage and capacity with some mail
must, however, be liberal. ~
There are onlya few Of us left, " said
Mr.. Sewall, land if we are going to
keep our yards open, we must have
government assistance"
Inquiry Begins.
Senator Jacob H. Gallinger of New
Hampshire, chairman of the commits
sion, in opening the inquiry, pointed
out that more than 80 per cent Of
the foreign commerce Of this coun-
try is being carried in foreign ships,
and said the commission will be for
tunate il the discussion sheds such
light on the subject as will enable
it to recommend to congress legisla-
ton Of remedial character.
Thomas Clyde Of the Clyde line, the
first witness called, strongly advo-
Gated ship subsidy.
He presented chart showing the
standing Of the chief maritime ma
tons of the world. The United States
stands at the bottom. All the ma
lions, he said, have given aid Of some
sort to natural conditions.
G. B. Circuit. president Of the New
port News Shipbuildtng company, told
the commission that ships can be
built in England for IS per cent less
than they can be built here.
Lewis Nixon said builders in this
country had been constructing too
good ships for American use. There
is no demand for the English tramp
type Of vessel in this country.
Mr.. Nixon was in favor Of differ
entail duties. This, to his mind, would
make a demand for American ships,
because thru differentials foreigners
as well as ourselves would be induced
to ship in American bottoms.
Rear Admiral Bowles, president of
the Fore River Shipbuilding compa-
ny of Quincy, Mass, said there are
several ways to get a merchant ma
rine, and suggested absolute free
trade as one of them.

KEMPF IS ACCUSED
Gov. La Toilette Makes Charge
Against State Treasurer

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 24.-Gov La
Toilette sent State Treasurer Kempf
a letter today giving his reasons in de-
tail for ordering the treasurer to fur
nish a larger bond, and fixing IL o'clock
Aug. 80 for the time within which it
must be furnished.
The governor makes the sensational
charge that the state treasurer mas
made personal loans from various
banks which are state repositories
upon personal notes and amounting to
many thousands of dollars, and that
such loans were extended simply be-
cause Kempf was state treasurer, the
banks not refusing the loans through
fear that if they did the states money
would be withdrawn from them
The governor says that the legisla-
ture should prohibit such practices. He
states that he is informed that the
surety company which has furnished
the present bond of the treasurer has
refused to increase it to the amount de-
sired.

The object in starting this fund is
to present an opportunity for private

The call for aid for the House of the
Good Shepherd has gone out to the
entire Northwest. An official examina-
tion of the damage inflicted at the in
stitution by the cyclone reveals a much
greater disaster than was at first sup
posed. The work of repairing the
damage will cost $4,000. Without as

PARKER ON 'PlNOS
Says by "seIf- Government" He
Meant independence

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-The follow
ing letters, which are self-explanatory,
were exchanged between John G. Mil
burn, one of President Cleveland s
trusted advisers, and Judge Parker on
the Philippine question:
Red Beach, East River. Conn, Aug 20.
-11y Dear Judge Parker: have noticed
in some quarters disposition to criticise
the words self elf-government," used by you
in connection with the future Of the Phil
ippine islands, zas meaning something less
than independence, and I venture to ask
you if / am not right in assuming that
self government as you used the
phrase, is identical with independence,
political and territorial?
John G. Milburn
Rosemount, Esopus, N. Y, Aug. 22.-
My Dear Milburn: You are entirely right
in assuming that as 1 employed the
phrase 'self-government' it was intended
to be identical with Independence, politi-
cal and territorial. After noting criticism
referred to by you am still unable to
understand how it can be said that a
people enjoy self government while an
other nation may in any degree whatever
control their actions. But to take away all
possible opportunity for conjecture, it
will be made clear in the letter Of ac
ceptance that am in hearty accord with
that plank in the Democratic platform
which advocates treating the FiHpinos
precisely as we did the Cnbans; and I
also favor making the promise to them
now to take such action as soon as it
can prudently be done.
Alton B. Parker.
1t is announced that Henry G. Davis
has decided ito take the stump for an

tee, and then definite plans for his

DEVILS LAKE, N. D., Aug. 24-The
great Devils Lake Indian reservation
lottery practically closed tonight when
the names of the winners were drawn.
There are few claims less than 600 on
the reservation. By tonight the win
ners were all drawn from the wheel.
Then 400 names were drawn but not
announced. These are reserved lists
which will be kept secret until it is
known whether or not all the winners
take advantage of their right and file.
If they do not file, from the next 400
after the first 500 winners names will
be used in the order drawn. and notified
of their right to file.
1t was hardly o'clock when the
curtain on the stage of the local arrnory
arose and disclosed Commissioner
Richards, Judge Wakeley and James
Twamley, with clerks, and boys to
draw the names. Howard Maher was
elected to draw the first name and he
selected an envelope from the wheel
which was churned frequently after the

No More Drawback of Duty on Pig

continue the drawback OF. customs duty
on any material used and wrought into
or attached to any article manufac-
tured in Canada and exported there
fron' if such article enjoys a bounty.
This will apply to pig iron brought in
to be manufactured into steel billets,
as there is bounty ON the latter. The
government has also adopted regu-
lation enabling articles of Canadian
manufacture brought into Canada to
be repaired and afterward re-exported
to come in duty free. Hitherto such
articles have paid duty when coming

WHEAT TAKES DROP
OF SEVEN CENTS
September Option Finishes Far
Below the Figures of
Tuesday


September wheat slumped cents
yesterday, and the decline since the
close on Saturday has been 1875 cents,
something almost unprecedented in the
history of the grain trade in Mime
apolis.
The September option opened seven
ceighths of cent below the close on
Tuesday and sagged all the day, the
price closing only three-eighths Of a
cent above the bottom.
Weakness characterized the market
and there was a steady decline in the
price. Heavy ''stop loss orders added
to the depression and the general pub
lie seemed to be eliminated from the
situation.
Experienced traders assert there is
less logic in the sudden decline than
there was in the skyrocket advance of
the cereal.
The spring wheat crop has been
badly damaged, and there is no ques-
ton but the quality has deteriorated.
and with large short interest and the
condition of the Canadian crop a mat
ter of guesswork, there is every pros
pect of a decided upturn to the market
at any time.
Pessimistic reports are received re-
garding the crop on the American side
of the line, and from the Canadian
Northwest the returns madeSby the ex-
perts in the field are conflicting.
If the reports from the experts who
are touring Canada are in line with the
doleful intelligence from the Dakotas,
there is every prospect of a bull mar
ket which will make the last furry
pale into insignificance.
The bull leaders have cleaned up
large amount of money. but, being
thrifty, they are not constrained to
permit an opportunity to make more
money to pass. The bulls say they are

BOAT is ENTIRELY
TOO MUCH SUBMARINE

NEWPORT, R. L, Aug. 24.-While
the submarine torpedo Boat Shark was
being prepared for a submerged run
near Brenton's Reef lightship, she sank
to the bottom in hundred feet of
water and remained there for some
time before the crew could move her.
The cause of the sinking is not known.
Lieut.. Nelson was in. charge of the
boat with Lieut.. Shepley and a crew of
eight men aboard. The men displayed
no excitement, but made number of
experiments before the boat could be
raised. After forty minutes they sue
ceeded by use of the hand pumps in
bringing her to the surface. The boat
apparently was not damaged.
