SHIP

Two Gigantic Liners Are
Being Constructed at Bel

London, May 1.-Two gigantic
liners. larger than any vessel anoat.
are being constructed at Mess 8.
Harland and VOLTS shipyards,~ at
Belfast. for the White Star Compa-
ny. They will probably be christ
ened the Olympic AMI Titanic, and
they will journey between South
ampton and New York.
A feature of the design IS that
they will each have four tunnels and
only one mast. The total cost for
the two will, it is estimated, be
something like $2O,OOO,OOc, and
and they will both be ready for their
maiden voyages early in 1912.
The passenger accommodation will
be enormous, sufficient probably for
at least 2,500-and the crew will
number nearly 1000. The gross ton
mage will be $4,000, as against the
$4,000 of the Lusitania The fun
nels Of the boats will be so large
that two double decked tramway
cars would easily pass through each.

Traffic in Chinese Maidens
Has Been Disclosed in
San Francisco Hau Ping
Chen as Leader.
BROUGHT IN FROM MEXICO
1t is Said the Cinnamon are
Backed by Americans in
Big Cities.

San Francisco, Cal, May IT,
Great excitement prevails here over
charges Of importing slave girls and
extorting vast sums OF money from
wealthy families which are made I'm
huge placards containing the accu-
sations against Hau Ping Chen, the
Chinese General Consul here.
The charges are apparently well
founded and all OF the streets OF
San Francisco and nearby cities
have been literally covered by un-
known persons, with cards annouc-
ing the alleged slave traffic.
Especially in the Chinese quarter
is the excitement intense and hourly
1ew disclosures are expected.
At a late hour this afternoon the
authorities here had not lnvesti "a
ted the matter, but there is every
reason TO believe that crusade will
be inauguratei Immediately to sift
the the matter TO the bottom.
1t is said that these pretty Chi
nese maidens have been imported
into this country by subtle means,
most OF them being sent over the
Mexican border. The girls are SUP
jected TO untold cruelty in being
transported here. Some OF them ara
packed in cases and barrels, while
others are disguised that they may
be smugglei into the United States.
IT is said that the traffic in these
girls has reached tremendous pro-
portions and that the Cinnamon are
backed by white men Of this city,
Chicago and New York.

When this fact became known

Climax
Justice Garretson, in the supreme
court here today brought a climax
with these words d series of misfor-
tunes that have come upon the
Hams family since Captain Peter c.
Hams returned from his post in the
Philippines to discover his wife's
wrong doing, and then to seek out
William +. Anlis and slay him.
Indifferent
Hams took his sentence standing,
he did not move a muscle. He show
ed no regret nor fear. When the
last word of the court had been ut
tered he took his seat beside his
aged father, General Peter Hams,
whose head was buried in his hands
Embraced Him.
As the prisoner was turned over
to the guards his father and broth
er, who were the only members OF
the family present, embraced him
in turn. He gave no sign of emo
ton or interest
Hams sat with his overcoat over
his ears huddled in his chair as he
sat for over three weeks during the
trial.
Move to Set Verdict Aside.
Counsel Mcintyre moved that the
verdict be set aside on the ground
that Il was contrary to the law and
the evidence in the case. He also
moved to set it aside because Of the
OF the Jurisdiction of the court,
claiming that Captain Hams was on
duty and In the service of the fed
eral government and that he should
have been tried by federal court.
Denied Notions.
Justice Garretson denied the mo-

pass the sentence. Prosecutor De

Taft on the RIGHT Side.

President Taft has put himself on
record as firmly lin favor of expanding
the 5000, 900 or $S,00000O profit which
we make on our foreign mails, in sub
sides for the American merchant ma
rine. He states very clearly that such
an expenditure would be but expert
condition of our foreign trade as com
pared with that of other nations less
favorably situated, he said:
For this reason it seems to me
that there is no subject to which
Congress can better devote it's at
tention in the coming session than
the passage of bill that shall en-
courage our merchant marine in
such a way as to establish Ameri-
can lines directly between New
York and other Eastern ports and
South American ports and between
our Pacific coast ports and the ORR
ent and Philippines"
Referring to the specific kind of sub
sidy which he had suggested, the Pres
ident said:
From my observations | think
the country is ready now to try
such a plan and to witness it's eff
fects upon the foreign trade of the
United States. If it is successful,
experience will show how the poll
cy can best be expanded and en-
-,
cial flag be made to wave on the
seas as it did before our Civil war.
1t is true that our foreign trade is
great and increasing without the
merchant marine. But merchant
marine would enhance the opportu-
mites for extending trade
The great throng within the sound
of the President s voice at Seattle re-
ceived this declaration of faith with
cheers. And the old New England hills
echo their reclamation. for a subsidy
has been our dream since the days OF
internal strife saw our merchant ships
driven from the seas. This great ma
ton has often been lkened to the mer-
chantewho hires some one else to deliv.
err his goods. The parallel is a splendid
one. The United States is in exactly
the same position as the unfortunate
merchant whose hired transfers de
liver the goods of his rival in prefers
tsShce to his and Just as they aresrnid
to do. The logical solution is to acquire
transportation facilities of his own.
