When He Returned.
ANNUL SECOND MARRIAGE.

Augusta, Ga, April 11.-Returning
after an absence of eighteen years to
find his wife married in good faith to
a man of influence in the city, was the
fate of Frederick Pfaff In 1885 Pfaff
married Miss Carrie H. Parr. Five
years later he suddenly disappeared,
leaving no clue to his whereabouts
and no reason for his absence. In
1895, his family read widely published
reports of his death in a railroad aC-
Cident, and for many months wore
mourning.
Fully believing that her husband
was dead, Mrs. Pfaff, after several
years of supposed widOwhoOd, was
married to Alfred b. Conner. Some
days ago Mrs. Conner was greatly
shocked to receive positive proof that
her first husband was still alive.
Today a decree of annulment was
handed down by Judge Harmony of
the superior court, which further de,
Clared that the second marriage had
! been entered into innOcently and in
good faith by all concerned and
adjudged them entirely blameless.

STORIES OF AT|ONAL CAPITAL
10y Ralph M. Whiteside.)

Washington, April IL Under
present conditions it will not be
great while until the Importance Of
American ships dwindles to almost
nothing"
This Is what Congressman VIII Z.
Humphrey Of the State Of Washing
ton, says. Congressman Humphrey
wants ship subsidies, and firmly be
Iieves that until the Government au-
thorizes such support of American
ships this nation will make little pro-
gress in his direction.
For a number of months Congress-
man Humphreys has been active in
support Of ship subsidies. He has
made number Of speeches in var
ious parts of the country where the
development Of American ships is Of
paramount importance, and is conf
dent that the sentiment in favor Of the
Government fostering the merchant
marine is growing rapidly.
Congressman Humphrey today made
the astounding assertion that the
American flag is fast disappearing
from the seas. All other great nations
are surprising the United States in
the development of ships, consequent
~ the bulk of money spent in ocean
TRANSPORTATION goes TO foreign coun-
tries.
1T is an astounding fact, said Con
gresham Humphreys, that today,
with all of our vast wealth and our I'M
limited resources. our mighty com
mcrce, we have 10000 less tons of
shipping engaged in oversee trade
than we had % years ago. The re
public was in its infancy then, while
| today the growth has been such that
we should lead the world on the seas,
The cause of the tardy growth OF
| American oversee shipping is easily
Defined It costs from 40 TO 100 per
cent more to build a ship in this cOun-
| try than in others. 1t costs from 20
to 80 per cent more to operate an
| American ship than a foreign snip.
| The additional cost in construction
! and operation is due almost entirely
| to the high price Of labor in this cOun-
| try.
In addition to the increased labor
! cost. the American ship is handicap
ped by the payment of heavy subsidies
! bv foreign nations. There is not a
frst-class foreign vessel in the world
today engaged in the dcep-sea com
morCe that does not directly or indl-
rectly receive a subsidy from some
! government.
Foreign subsidized ships have al
ready driven every msubsidized
| American ship from the Atlantic and
the same powers working in the same
way to the same end will, within the
next few years. drive our flag off the
Pacific unless the Government gives
assistance"
