SKIPPER TRIES TO BE FINED.
His Conscience Hurts Because He Dumped
sand In the Sound.

A bearded, broad chestei Down East
skipper wandered into Deputy Surveyor
Matthew Coneys's little Dom in the Barge
Office yesterday and asked II he might see
the chief" Coneys said the only thing he
was the chief OF a the oxS room assigned
to him by the Government.
The skipper pulled his elaborate whiskcrs
and said he thought Coneys was the proper
official to receive the confession Of q vio-
lation Of the law and declared that he had
been guilty OF dumping sand ballast In
Long Island Sound. e
Conveys suggested to the skipper that he
should 90 higher up" The stranger did
30 and ran across Jim Little in the boarding
division.
Mr.. Little said the offence was not under
his jurisdiction; in fact. he thought il vas
a question between the skipper and the
Almighty. Such a manifestation of con-
science never had been heard of before
in the Bar &c ONCE, and The startled Of
ficials passed the mariner along until he
decided that part Of the Government reoeiv-
ing conscience contributions had gone
out OF business.
Az s O'Clock, when the Barge Once en-
ployees were on their way TO ships In the
harbor or to their homes, Conveys found
the puzzled skipper meditatingly yanking
his beard outside and wondering why he
couldn't pay his fine to somebody.

ship Creole. the first oocangoing vessel Of

America. There was no speeohmaking.
there was some conversation between
the great men Of the railroad company.
including Z. H. Hartman. and its guests.
Mr.. Hartman himself spent less than
an hour breaking bread and drinking
mineral water. He did not say anything
personally to the reporters. but through
his representative. j. W. Jungen. manage
OF the operating department Of the Southern
Psoino's Atlantic coast lin es. he uttered
this sentiment:
the bars are down. 1.-THE United States
Government has a right to charter foreign
bottoms to carry coal to the Pacific CoAst
there 10 no reason why the Southern Pacific
should not do likewise. am going to send
coal to San Francisco In foreign bottoms.'
Rear Admiral Bowles. retired. who 10
connected with the Fore River Company,
expressed the opinion that Mr.. Hartman
would not be permitted to do the thing he
contemplated because Of the laws Of the
United States. Other persons not in any
manner Interested In ships or shipbuilding
called attention to section SSA7, Title L.
Of the Revised Statutes Of the United States,
which says:
mo merchandise shall be imported,
corrected to transported by q bracket

thereof. from one port OF the UEsted States

vessel belonging wholly or in part to q sub
ject OF any foreign Power"
Under this law Mr.. Harrim4n's coal
csrgoes might be gobbled up by Uncle
Sam IN used to propel Uncle Sans war
ships.
Mr. Hartman seemed to have the i'm
preston. according to his interpreters.
that the Navy Department was breaking
the laws OF the United States In chartering
foreign vessels to carry coal from this coast
to San Francisco, in which case it would
possibly forfeit its coal to the Government
at a point at which it would be convenient
for the navy to get il from the Government.
Another report Of the talk OF Mr.. Harri-
man had 1t that he said that he did not
see why" the Southern Pacific should not
compete with the Government and carry
coal in foreign bottoms.

Of Wood, Harmon a. Co.. = real estate con-

The bill sets forth that the partnership

n OF that time IL was to be continued at the
option Of any Of the partners. He was to
