HARTMAN BUYS
HILLS STEAMERS
SOUTHERN PACIFIC MAGNATE
SAID TO HAVE PURCHASED
sHAWMUT AND FREMONT.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.-It is
reported that e. H. Hartman mas pur-
chased the huge freight steamers
Shawmut and fremont, now operating
between Seattle and the Orient for
Frank Waterhouse & Co., and that he
will keep them on that route under the
Hartman management. Both of the
steamers were owned by the Boston
Steamship Company, and have been
running out of Seattle for the past five
or six years as the marine end of the
Hill transcontinental line. They have
been strong competitors of the Harri-
man line of Pacific Mail steamers op-
Grating to the Orient out of this city.
Marine Superintendent William
Chisholm of the Pacific Mail Company
is now in Seattle, presumably to fur
ther arrangements for the transfer of
the big freighters. He made a trip to
the Sound a few months ago to inspect
the vessels, but it was then denied
that the Pacific Mail Company or Har-
riman was after the steamers, al
though it was well known that CHS
holm made a special trip to look over
the freighters, at a time, too, when it
appeared that both the Mongolia and
the Manchuria, the largest and most
profitable of the Mail Companys fleet,
would be lost to the company as a
result of having gone ashore. Now
Chisholm is off for Seattle again to
make a final inspection of the Shaw
NUT and fremont, and it is under
stood that Hartman has authorized
their purchase, if the deal has not al
ready gone through General Manager
Schwerin of the Pacific Mail repre-
sents Hartman in the matter.
The Shawmut and fremont, while
not as large as the Mongolia and Man
churia, are far from being pygmies,
and have been in less trouble than any
of the other giants of the Pacific. Both
were here some years ago while en-
route to Puget Sound from Boston.
Both were built for the Boston Steam
ship Company by the Maryland Steel
Company at Sparrow Point, Md, and
both are given in Lloyds as still the
property of the Boston Steamship Co.,
though Frank Waterhouse & Co. of
Seattle are the managers on this coast.
A traffic arrangement has been main
tanned with Hills Great Northern
railroad. The Shawmut and fremont
are identical in size, but the Shawmut
was built in 1901, year before the
other. The steamers are 1895 feet in
length So feet in width, with a depth
of 2S.9 feet.
What railroad connections will be
made with the big steamers at Seattle
by Hartman are not known, but it is
not unlikely that Hill, having allowed
the steamers to go into other than his
own hands, will make some satisfac-
tory arrangement with Hartman as TO
Oriental traffic. 1t is no secret that
Hill is rather tired o' the steamship
end of the business, and reports have
been common that he had tried to sell
his huge steamer Minnesota to the
Japanese. Her sister snip the Dakota,
it will be remembered, was wrecked on
the coast of Japan some months ago.

FLEET COMING
WITHOUT ALABAMA

WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-THE Navy
Department today received word of an
accident to the battleship Alabama,
which will result in delaying the de-
parture of the ship on it's trip around
the Horn to the Pacific.
The Alabama has developed a bad
crack in the head of one of it's engine
cylinders and the damage must be re-
paired before it can undertake the long
trip to the Pacific. At least four
months will be required to make the
repairs, which will keep the ship in
home waters nearly a month after the
time scheduled for departure, Decem-
Der 18th.
The department issued hurry-up or
ders for a new cylinder head. The
Alabama will proceed to the Brooklyn
Navy Yard as soon as the casting is
ready and the substitution will be
rushed as rapidly as possible. The
vessel is now at Cape Colony bay un-
dergoing target practice. The injury
will not interfere with this work, but
is too serious to admit of the long
journey to the Pacific

STATE RAILWAY REGULATION.

Railroad regulation within state boundaries Is
one Of the most important questions before the
nation to-day. There are few states which are
not considering some aspect Of II, and few, in
deed, feel that they have settled II to their en-
tire satisfaction. It's Importance is perfectly
natural for II Is only the other side Of Interstate
railroad regulation, and that is one Of the
largest questions with which Congress has dealt
in recent years. The national legislation set a
standard. Not many states can long endure
abuses IN commerce within their borders which
are forbidden by the national government in
commerce between states. President ROosevelts
work in strengthening the powers of the Inter
state Commerce Commission has resulted in a
great quickening OF the national conscience.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found q sum-
mary OF the condition of railway legislation in
many states. Every one reading the dispatches
will be struck with the similarity OF the ex-
perience Of each state 10 the experience Of the
Others and TO the experience Of the federal gov
eminent, IN dealing with the problem of railway
regulation. There are. indeed states which
seem 10 have got along with leaving the rail-
ways to their own devices, but they are the eX-
ceptiOn. The rest began by the creation several
years ago Of some sort OF railway commission
whose powers to-day appear inadequate. Doubt
less those powers seemed sufficient when the
commissions were created, and perhaps they
were; for the problems OF railway regulation
have grown more complex, or experience has
taugE Us a greater appreciation OF their diff
euldes. To-day the states have either taken the
next step forward and have given the railway
commissions the powers that make them effective
instruments OF government or they are now con-
templating such a step. That the expert
ence Of the United States IN regulating commerce
between states. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission, after serving for number Of years as
q comparatively Ineffective body. was made last
year, by additions 20 its powers an efficient one.
Ohio went through such an experience. Until
last year It had railroad commissioner Of very
limited powers Last year It's Legislature Gre
ated commission with real powers. similar 70
those Of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
and Its operations have been sminently salts

New York. like number Of the other states,
has not yet taken such a step, but Governor
Hughes's recommendations regarding increased
powers for a new railway commission are In line
with the experience OF the nation and OF the in
dividual states

MONEY! AND BUSINESS.

Just a year ago the stock market attained the
highest point record. sixty active railway
shares averaging $500 80. while the close on
Saturday was almost SIS share lower and
there were many rumors that prominent Wall
Street houses were seriously embarrassed
Liquidation was violent at times that there
was good reason for anxiety. especially az the
money market had become much easier, indi-
eating no pressure that account Compare
son with the high-water mark last year is espe-
cially interesting. because railway earnings con-
tinue much larger than at that time; business
prospects are fully bright. If not even more
encouraging. and call money is actually cheaper
Consequently, it IS natural TO wonder whether
prices were too high year ago or are now too
low. and there IS also much interest in the
whereabouts OF the usual January rise, which IS
always counted upon an opportunity to I'M
load. Instead OF new high records the first
three weeks Of the year 1907 have brought lower
quotations than the weakest position last year
and almost the bottom figures OF 1905 Not
only has Il proved impossible TO attract interest
on the part Of the general public. but powerful
inside interests have evidently begun 10 find the
load burdensome. How far such q movement
will so cannot be predicted, but 1t is worthy of
note that the reaction is seldom extended when
stocks arc held by insiders, whereas in a boom
produced by public buying. such as that which
eliminated at S1162 % IN 1902. the succeeding

Of S165O00,O0O. The result is that owing 70
the terms of the leases Of underlying compa-
MES the Rapid Transit Company has to pay 8
per cent interest on about twice the capital
put into its plant, without allowance for de-
probation.
What makes the situation acute is that
public hostility to the company is now aroused.
The people have endured with comparative pa
thence everything but the delayed additions to
the rapid transit facilities. In 1901 the Phila-
delphia Council jammed through a lot OF val
liable franchises and gave them free to the
Rapid Transit Company. although there was
an opposition offer to the city of several mill
ions for them. in the FIVE and a half years
since the grant OF these franchises only small
section of one subway has been opened and
not single elevated railway is in use, though
one soon will he. On the other lines for which
franchises were granted practically nothing has
been done. The fact is that the company can.
not make use of these valuable franchises IN
less the city will lend it money or unless out
side capital can be interested. The amount of
water" in the stock OF the company has made
it en- uninViting business proposition TO private
capital Meanwhile tine public Is becoming more
impatient and more insistent that something
be done. State regulation OF the financing of
that company would have been a good thing
for It, for apparently the public may not be
the only sufferer from water"

QUE TRADE WITH JAPAN

The anti-Japanese propagandsts in San Fran
cisco are making use of a letter written TO the
Board of Education of that city by "a native OF
"Ohio, twenty-five years resident OF California,
"voicing the sentiment Of the great majority OF
1.-THE people of the Pacific Coast" in which the
japanese are bitterly denounced, and which con-
cludes with saying: Let Japan buster with
threats Of cutting our trade where we pay them
"four to one now. and they have and mean to
keep the balance Of trade in their own favor"
It is a long time since the United States paid
Japan "four to one" Last year the account
stood SO TO IS. The year before it almost bal
anced, at $51 ,S21 ,629 to $61,719683 In 1908 1t
was less than two to one and in 1903 1t was
little more than two to one. In 1902 1t was 81
to 21 in 1901 il was 20 to 10; IN 1900 It was
81 to 20: in 1899 It was 20 to II; in 1898 1t was
25 to 20, and so on. In some earlier years, no
doubt, we paid Japan four times as much as
she paid u.s. Thus at the beginning, in 1860, we
sold her only $41.91S worth and bought from
her S2S5,176 worth. But that is going a Ions
way back for soup"
In recent years the balance has been against
us, il is true, as It has often been with other
countries such as France and Austria Hungary.
In the case Of Brazil the balance has invariably
been against us, generally by great deal more
than four to one. The balance is habitually
against us with most of the South American
states. 1t has not been In our favor with China
in more than three years in the last forty But
what has that to do with the case? Japan adj
mits our goods to her markets as freely as we
admit hers to ours, and she does not force her
goods into our markets at the mouth Of cannon
II we cannot supply her with a larger proper
ton Of the things which she wants, that is some
thing which we may regret but for which she
is scarcely to be blamed.
The only significance Of the statement made
BY the Board of Education's correspondent Is
found in its reckless and gross inaccuracy and
In the consequent suggestion that other anti
japanese declarations may suffer from an
equally careless handling Of facts.
