HOW JEFF COULD
GARNER 100000
Purse, Pictures, and Stage
After Meeting
Johnson.
By TAD.


NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-That mention
Of 100000 for Jenries' return to the
ring seemed TO have landed a bunch OF
goats yesterday.
Don't remember of reading that jim
Co1roth offered that amount in purse.
The red-headed promoter probably ven
tured 90 say that Jefr would gather that
much should he don the lighting toys
once again. and the chances are that
he would.
Conroth could easily offer a $1,000
purse. Jen could get a cut-in on the
moving pictures, which would De d
small fortune in itself. and then, If he
won, a tour ION the road for a year OF
more. and if that wouldn't net him $I00,-
0OJ or more, what would?
Training for Purpose.
The very fact that the big fellow is in
secret training leads Us to believe that,
like the famous Giicawber, he is wait
ing for something to turn up"
JEFF isn't doing that gymnasium work
every day in Los Angeles just for his
complexion alone. CIaTice.
Things have come to such a pass now
that Jef must get oUt and patter some
one on the dome. We have this pugilis-
tic pee wee Burns strutting around Ike
a pouter pigeon telling US who's who
and what's what and. oh, lots Of things.
ard, on the other hand, we hive that
DARK scarecrow Johnson with every
white nan in The world scared 10 death.
Jen is the only man In the world who
can clear the situation. He can make
more money in night than he ever
made In his career. The greatest purse
ne ever battled for was the one In
san Francisco with Jim Corbett jim.
CoffrOth held that bout, and the re-
Ceipts were over $4,000. Corbett was a
dead one, and Jen ruled a big favUute.
Thinks Johnson Would Draw.
Johnson has thousands Of admirers
who want TO see him ami the big fellow
hooked up IN battle.
Jim Comroth has gone. or viii 90 in
a day or so, 70 Los Angeles to see JEFF
fries again about the scrap.
Should The big fellow consent the
pair viii meet next spring In Colma.
and the battle Will p" for forty-lIve
rounds, which is practically a finish.
II JEFF does not finish the black gentle
man inside of twenty rounds things WIZ
look rather dark Tor him. and there viii
be money bet at even7 on the result
then.

EditoriaIly, the Call says:


MIR. r. P. Schwerin does noy i'm
prove the situation as regards che Pa
cific Mail steamship company when he
misrepresents the facts in a manner so
easily exposed. Mr.. Schwerin in his
speech at New York on Friday COM
planned that the steamship corporation
which he represents was fined $421, 900
for infractions of the shipping laws
and regulations and was compelled to
pay $26O,OOO of those fines He char
acterizes the regulations as Onerous
and oppressive.
Now the collector of the port Of
San Francisco, Mr.. Stratton, declares
that Mr.. Schwerin's charge has no
other foundation than the fact that the
Pacific Mail Company paid $500 in fines
All the other penalties imposed were
RENTED.
"Mr. Schwerins queer tale of woe
included a further charge that the
rules made by the interstate COM
MERGE commission were exacting and
injurious to his business. On this
point he is met at once by Commits
ioner Lane.
Mr.. Schwerin does not help his
cause by glaring misrepresentation OF
facts. The Pacific Mail Company con-
ducts useful and beneficial trade that
San Francisco could not lose without
grave injury to the commercial inter-
ests of the port, and we believe that
the people of the United States as a
whole are coming round to the opinion
that in order to maintain the standard
of American shipping and its personnel
the government should offer subsidies,
following the custom of all important
maritime nations. But that opinion
will not be assisted but rather set back
by i'll judged and apparently malicious
misrepresentation coming from Mr..
Schwerin.
I'VE say malicious with full deliber-
alton. Mr. Schwerin is merely the in
discreet echo of the men for whom he
works. The bitter and angry feeling
that Mr.. Hartman holds for Roose-
welt finds expression in the half baked
and irresponsible utterances of Mr.
Schwerin. That is the politics of it..
1t is pretty cheap sort of politics that
rests on silly and untrue charges so
easily exposed"
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1907-12-04

The Chronicle has the following
That the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company may go out of business next
April and nineteen of its vessels be
tied up idle in San Francisco harbor,
as intimated by Vice-President Sch
werin in a speech before the Society
of Marine Architects and Engineers in
New York on Friday, was not inter
preted too literally by local business
men and shippers yesterday.
At the same time it was generally
admitted that an unsatisfactory COndi-
ton exists, and that the present status
of American-owned steamship lines on
the Pacific is not encouraging. The
lower pay of japanese officers and
crews, the subsidies granted by the
Japanese Government and the unequal
operation of the interstate commerce
act, which regulates the American but
not the foreign companies, are UNI
doubtedly, it was said, giving a great
advantage to the japanese and spur
ring the ambition of the latter to be-
come the predominant trade carriers
of the Pacific.

work.

trade, both between here and the ORR
ent and between here and South Am
erican ports Our new vessels will be

many improvements over any of the
ships in our present fleet"
From other shipping men it was
learned yesterday the Japanese are
making inroads on American Pacific
carriers all along the Coast Three
steamships of the Boston Towboat
Company, the Lyria, Hyades and Plei-
AIDES, have already been Withdrawn
from the Oriental trade, and the Bos-
ton Steamboat Company's vessels
fremont and Shawmut are being TAX
en- off and will engage solely in coast
wise traffic. Two Japanese steamship
companies have established them
selves at Seattle and Portland. and a

Baron Shibusawa at the head is be-
ing informed to operate between this
country and the East It is also I'M
derstood that the Nippon Yusen Kali
sha shortly will put on line of twelve
steamers between the Pacific Coast
and Europe, the steamers to touch at
Victoria, Seattle, San Francisco and
the principal South American ports
While it was believed by those seen
yesterday that Schwerin's object in
his New York speech was simply to
draw striking attention to the existing
handicaps to American shipping in the
Pacific, and foreshadowed no serious
intention of the Pacific Mail to with
draw it's ships, it is known that the
company's earnings during the last
two years have shown a falling off.
This fact however, is accounted for
by number of reasons. In 1906 it
was natural that there should have
been a decrease in business following
the cessation of hostilities between
China and Russia, because of the
Chinese boycott of American goods,
and because of the losses incident to
the San Francisco fire In 1907 the
diversion of traffic to other channels
as a result of the fire here was also
an important factor, and the unsettled
civil conditions in the Central Ameri-
can republics reduced materially the
| company's traffic with those states.
That the Pacific Mail will continue
in business seems to be pretty well in
| dictated, it was pointed out, by the fact
that one of the things which has taken
Vice-President Schwerin to New York
on his present trip is understood to
| be to complete arrangements for the
building of two new steamers for the
trade between San Francisco and Port
land.

WASHINGTON, November 23.-The
Interstate Commerce Commission is
not willing to take the blame for con-
ditions which, Schwerin says, are like
~ to result in the Pacific Mail going
out of business.
Commissioner Franklin X. Lane
spoke for the Commission today when
he said: "The Interstate Commerce
Commission has made no restrictions
on boat-carrying traffic whatever. Not
one rule has been made affecting that
business. The interstate commerce
law requires that through rates, when
established by water and rail connec-
tons, shall be published with the
Commission.
In compliance with this law, which
is of twenty years standing, trans
pacific steamship lines running out Of
San Francisco have published their
rates which upon business to the ORR
ent have been about the same as for
the rail haul to San Francisco alone.
All the Commission has done has been
to endeavor to see that the provisions
of the law and of tariffs filed have
been complied with, and for this the
Commission is certainly not to blame
Probably Mr. Schwerin will find
that great portion of his loss Of rev.
enue is due to the fact that the Japa-
nese immigrants are not arriving in
the volume they once did, and to the
further fact that the Japanese line
Nippon Yusen Kaisha has entered the
field as a competitive factor. l SYM
pathize strongly with Mr.. Schwerin's
ambition to develop a large Oriental
traffic through the Pacific Coast ports,
but fail altogether to realize how any
policy which this Commission has
adopted, unless it is the policy of the
enforcing Of the law against giving re-
bates, can have anything to do with
the real cause of Mr.. SChwerin's COM
plant"
