SHIP SUBSIDY
AGAIN BEFORE CONGRESS-

Washington, Feb. ia ship sub
sidy bill, differing somewhat from
previous measures, was introduced
yesterday by Representative Green,
Massachusetts, chairman of the house
committee on merchant marine and
fbmeries. The measure is based on
Senator Hanna's bill, introduced in
1898, and on the subsequent bills
of Senator Frye and Representative
Payne and GrosWenor, but differs
from these in that it does not pre-
scribe % 10-year contractual obliga-
ton on the part of the government
for subsidy on a bounty. The bill
provides that compensation at the
rate of 81 per 1000 gross tons fol
each 100 miles shall be paid as com
pensation on each entry OF a vessel
of American register, the entries not
to exceed 1G in 12 consecutive

during his stay there represented him
as determined to abolish this. Under
the referee system one or more Re-
publicans in each southern state ex-
ercise about the same authority over
patronage as do northern Republican
senators in their states. This referee
system and the southern federal pat
ronage machine, it will be remem-
bered, delivered the decisive votes to
Taft at Chicago.
Since the report that Taft would
break up their organizations anxious
southern Republicans have been flock
ing into Washington. They are an
CRY as we'll as anxious. Col. Cecil A,
Lyon, of Texas, State Chairman Chubb
of Florida and John G.. Capers, COM
missioner of internal revenue, have
been prominent in numerous confer
ences on ways and means of testing
the Taft intentions. These south
erners have hastened to fill most of
their pending appointments through
the kind offices Of President Roose-
welt, but each of them has held out
one or two or three with which to
try out TAFT These appointments
will be required of him soon after
his Inauguration.
When the president-elect was
asked about his supposed intentions
he quickly pointed out that the re-
ports that he would abolish the ref
cree system did not appear in QUOTA
tion marks, but simply on the author
ity of the correspondents sending
them. "You did not see me quoted
on It, | am sure" he remarked.
Senator-elect Burton did not see
Judge Taft yesterday. The latter
said, on being asked, that he did not
expect to see Mr.. Burton today. In
other words he did not invite the
new Ohio senator TO take part in the
deliberations over the cabinet franz
ing, inaugural address, inaugural
preparations, Panama canal and other
matters under consideration, and Mr.
Burton, the invitation being lacking
did not present himself at the Board
man residence, where Judge Taft is
staying. The president elect, on sec
ond thought, seemed anxious to avoid
any Interpretation of this as meaning
strained relations with Mr.. Burton,
however.
81 do not know that | expect to
see Mr.. Burton" he said slowly, and
then "0but | have recently received
letter from him." he added quick
ly.
The Panama canal report occupied
most of ,Taft's day. He conferred
with the engineers at the Boardman
residence and then went with them
to the White House in the afternoon.
where he had lengthy talk on the
canal with President Roosevelt, the
engineers being present, and another
just as long on other matters when
the engineers had left Taft and the
president alone. The report, indors-
ing the lock canal plan, will be made
public by the president today.
Judge Taft began yesterday with
Knox, and then talked with Lodge
Beekman, winthrop and Clifford Pin
chot. The latter's interview resulted
in gossip lover the possibility of
Pinchot succeeding Secretary Wilson
at the head of the agricultural de-
partment Nothing definite could be
learned about this. 1t is known that
Judge Taft's disposition is to make a
clean sweep of all the Roosevelt men
in the government and Pinchot is
one of the famous tennis cabinet.
