NAY USE FOREIGN SHIPS.
Hint That Mr. Hartman WHI
Emulate the Government.

+. II. Hartman attended yesterday a private
inspection of his turbine steamer Creole whicn
will soon go into the New York and New Orleans
service OF the Southern Pacific Line.
Mr.. Hartman even crRwled over and around the
big turbine engines He looked at everything hur-
riedly, and asked many questions on the various
Innovations
As he was about to leave the steamer Mr. Harri-
man remarked to group of guests In the dining
saloon:
The bars down. IF the United States gov
erEment has the right to charter foreign bottoms
10 carry coal there is no reason why the Southern
Pacific Company should not compete and carry coal
as quickly as they"
Some persons present We're unable to interpret
exactly what he meant, While others vcutured tnat
he referred to the four foreign vessels recently
chartered by the government to carry coal from
Baltimore TO San Francisco.
The Creole. which is more like a transatlantic
liner than a coastwise steamer. IS equipped with
many luxurious fittings. She IS the first American
turbine built for the CoastWise trade. She is 40
feet long. has J3fOOt beam and depth of 81 feet
II Is thought, in the event of Mr.. Hartman
undertaking 10 carry out such plan. the gov
ernment would have power to cOnfsCate the coal
shipments. according To Section A347, Title l.. OF
the Revised Statutes of the United States which
provides that no merchandise shall be imported
Uransportedl under penalty OF forfeiture thereof.

c. w. Junsen, manager Of the Southern PacifIc's
Atlantic Coast lines speaking of Mr Harriman's
remarks said that he guessed that Nj. Hartman
contemplated carrying coal to San Francisco in
foreign bottoms.
Rear Admiral Bowles (retired). associated with
the Fore River Ship and Engine Building Company,
inclined to doubt Mr.. Hdrriman's power to
carry out such scheme

BUYS LACEs FOR PHILANTHROPY.
Nine. De Blumenthal Says Valuation on
Goods from Russia Should Not Be Raised.

There was hearing yesterday morning before w
B. Howell, the general appraiser. on the protest of
Nine. de BIumen1hal who is staying at the Martha
Washington Hotel, against increased valuation
laces that she imported from Russia. Nine
de BIumenthal says she IS engaged in phianthropic
work and the money received from the sale Of
laces in this country and above the price
paid the goods IN Russia is returned to some
peasant fund IN that country. She says she buys
laces and other handiwork from peasant women
there and that the bill of invoice for the laces
last received gives the value of the goods IN
Russia. The appraisers say the laces are worth
more than the low price she put on them to be as
sessed duties the rate of 60 per cent al va
loren. Because OF her philanthropic work. Nine.
de BIumenthal says she get these laces at u
very low price from the peasantry.
As the appraisers hold that the wonans occl-
patton IS immateriaI in deciding the value Of the
goods. II is probable that a higher valuation Will
be placed on them. In speaking about this hear
ing the general appraiser said that the point in
dispute be decided was the price for which
any person could buy the goods In Russia and he
could determine this value only after he examined
witnesses who could satisfy him as to the market
value there. Decision IN the case viii probably be
