Congressman Stevens has throughout
his congressional service taken a lead
ing part in proposed ship subsidy leg
slation Touching the defeat of sub
sides by the last congress, Stevens
said:
For the prevent ship subsidies are
impossible. The people of the central
west are Disguised with the objects
and probable results of the old Hanna
Payne bill and are not yet reconciled
to the idea of giving subsidies to any
corporation. The merchant marine of
the Pacific is unfortunately the victim
of the popular prejudice against the
transcontinental railway lines, operat-
ing lines of ships in connection with
the railroads.
Some of the eastern republicans
voted to exclude the Pacific ocean lines
from the provisions of the bill Then
some of us, believing such bill to be
of no general benefit, voted against it
in its amended form. The development
of the Pacific merchant marine is more
important than the developent of At
lantic ocean shipping, but unfortunate
ly the people ar not impressed with
the Importance of the development of
any merchant marine. So long as the
present prosperity continues it will be
impossible to persuade the people to
pay subsidy for the development of
foreign trade.
Again, as long as the public enter
tains its existing prejudice against the
great railroad companies and railway
managers it will not be possible for
congress to vote for q subsidy which
would assist in the establishment of
steamship lines in connection with the
great railroads. The time may arrive
when the necessity of a foreign trade
Will appeal to the business sense of
the American people. They may some
time realize that the best means of ma
tional defense lies in the development
of merchant marine, but unfortunate
ly that time has not arrived

She TRIED TO
KILL HERSELF
Miss. Lillian Newton Drank
CarboIic Acid.
PHYSICIANS SAVED HER
Had Been Pronounced Mentally
Unsound and Was To Be
Taken To Asylum.

Miss Lillian Newton, daughter OF W.
d. Newton, attempted 10 commit sui
cide this morning by taking carbolic
acid. The immediate services OF two
physicians, however, arrested the
action OF the poison and the young wo'
man will recover.
Following the hearing Saturday In
the case OF Henry Grifin, the young
man who created a disturbance at Mr.
Newton's store last week, Miss New
ton, who was one OF the witnesses sub.
poenaed by the state, underwent an ex-
animation as 10 her mental condition.
II was late In the evening when the two
ply sicians, Drs L. II. Ross and s. A.
Wilcox. completed their work and tho
decision was that the young woman
was 4 monomsniac and that her case
was one that required treatment at an
institution.
This morning the necessary legal
formsllties In n case OF that kind were
trans acted and Mr. Newton went 10 his
daughters room 10 inform her OF what
was 10 be done. lie had been away
from the room but few minutes when
some member OF the family called 10
him that Lillian had taken something.
Mr. Newton at once hurried 10 Miss
Llllian's room where he found the
young woman unconscious from tbs
effects OF taking . quantity OF carbolie
acid. Drs Wilson and Ross were Inn
medis,ely summoned and by working
energetically over her removed tho
acid from the stomach and the latest
reports we're that Miss Newton would
recover.
No member OF the family has had the
slightest suspicion that Miss Newton
contemplated taking her own life. The
bottle OF acid bad been In her posses
sion over q year, having been pur'
chased during a visit 70 New York.
The case Is one with IN unusually
number OF sad features and there have
been many expressions OF sympathy
today for the family.
Henry Grim, the former timekeeper
on the new electric road, who was
elected from the store by DIR Wilson,
left town sunday afternoon. Arrange
ments were made In municipal court
Saturday whereby he vas 10 pay the
costs Of the case against him and leave
