rest Of Vincenz Laposi have secured
evidence that the BLACK hand" bands

THE QUESTION OF
SHIP SUBSIDERS
REPORT OF THE MINORITY SEN.
ATE COMMITTEE.
Objections to Bill Obnoxious to Demo.
cratic Principles and Economic
Sense of the Country.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The views of
the minority of the merchant marine
joint committee were reported to the
senate today by Senator Mallory of
Florida. 1t is signed by Senator
Mallory and Representative Spight
Of Missouri and A. l.. McDermott of
New Jersey. The report expresses
regret that the minority cannot agree
with the majority but to show the de-
sire for concession, files objections TO
only two sections of the subsidy bill
reported just after the holiday recess
by the commission, these being those
providing for direct subsidies, which
the report declares are 80 obnoxious
to democratic principles and to the
economic sense of the country that We
are compelled to enter our earnest
protest"
It's chief difference from former
| direct subsidy bills" the report con-
tinues 'is that it is not as honest as
those bills were. 1t displaces the
word subsidy with the word sub
vention,' and through the explanation
with which it is launched. it seeks to
create the impression that it only
| gives back to the shipping industry
what it takes from it or rather that it
| gives back to American ships what is
! taken in increased tonnage taxes
! from ships of all nations. But, upon
| the contrary, it places in the treasury
/ the amounts to be received under it
through tonnage taxes and takes out
of the treasury the appropriations
provided for, without any reference
! to the relative amounts taken out and
put in without any limitation of the
! subsidy TO the amount of tonnage
taxes"
| In referring to the fate of the Han
na-Frye subsidy bill, the report says:
I'VE had thought that by legislative
concession both to public sentiment
and wise. economy we were through
with subsidy bills and were to make
an effort to devise other means TO
| build up the merchant marine. But
we have come back very nearly to the
point from which we started with the
only difference consisting in subter-
fuges and disguises. We cannot but
see in the proposed bill the trail Of
the serpent that has been over all
other bills on this subject. We mean
no reflection of duplicity against our
colleagues but the situation seems to
be such that they cannot get away
from the idea of direct governmental
| aid"
The report agrees that something
should be done to build up the Amer
lean marine. 1t favors a return to the
discriminating duty policy and finds no
good basis in the objection that to
accomplish this, certain treaties must
! be abrogated

STRUCTURAL STEEL CAR

Negotiations have about closed for
the sale of the Structural Steel Car

the city. The details of the matter
cannot be made public at this time, as
it was claimed that the premature pub

thing to do with the sale falling
through. Subsequent developments
showed that this was not the case, but
those who have the present projecl
in view are not taking any chances.

Marseilles, Jan. 10-The anarchis-
tic agitator, Louise Michel died here
at the Hotel de L'Oasis of an afflic-
tion Of the lungs, last night.
The death of Louise Michel, "the
red virgin" as she liked to be called,
has removed one of the most famous
figures Of the Paris commune and one
of the most advanced as well as sin
cere members of the French anar-
chists. From her youth she devoted
herself to the cause of the Reds" and
made no secret of her belief In assas.
sination, often declaring that only lack
of opportunity prevented her from
killing Napoleon III.
Born in the chateau of Vroncourt,
she educated herself with her grand
fathers library, being especially inter-
ested in his stories of the revolution
and amusing herself by enacting with
her young cousin its tragedies. For
Charlotte Corday she had a great ad-
miration.
At comparative early age misfor-
tune overcame her relatives and she
secured position as an assistant
school teacher In the village schools
her old home. At this time she
seemed inspired with Catholic and
philanthrophic passion, still romantic
and outspoken in her aversion to mar
riage.
In 1860 she went with her mother
to Paris and there her theories under
went a complete transformation She
established a school in Montmartre
which for time prospered. Largely
under the influence of Victor Hugo,
however, Louise became an outspoken,
bitter enemy of the empire, teaching
her pupils to sing the Marseillaise and
not permitting them to pray for the
emperor. Frightened by these radical
surroundings, parents began TO take
their children away and the school
ceased to prosper.
1t dragged along however, until at
the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian
war another stage in Louise Micheps
life began. She had long cherished
the ambition of saving France by the
murder of Louis Napoleon as the hero
inc of her youth, Charlotte Corday had
murdered Marat. She afterwards de-,
clared that only the emperor's depart
ure to the ill-fated field of Sedan pre-
vented her from carrying out her de-
sign. Louise's hatred of the empire,
however, had not affected her patriot
ism and she did splendid work In an
ambulance corps. Afterward she don
ned the uniform of a national guards
man and fought with distinguished
bravery.
1t was in the commune, however,
that she made herself famous She

planned to kill Napoleon and went to
Versailles and back to prove that 1t
could be done. Her propositions how.
ever, were rejected by the scruples of
the leaders and she was compelled to
content herself with the organization
of the central committee of Union de
Femmes.
While the Versailles troops were
forcing their way slowly into the
burning city and the commune was
falling, Louise distinguished herself
with rife and petroleum. Wounded In
the defense of Fort Issy, she returned
to the city to aid in the defenses of
the barricades. Falling into the hands
of the Versailles troops, she escaped
only to learn that her mother had
been arrested In her stead. Louise
at once gave herself up and her moth
er was released.
At her trial, in spite OF her admis;
sion that she attempted to burn Paris
in order to oppose a barricade of
flames to the arm of Versailles" she
escaped with sentence of Transports

In 1856, while addressing q meeting at

in the audience and wounded. The
man was barely saved from lynching
by the police. The later years of her
life were until short time ago spent
