STEAMSHIP COMPANY
SUBMITS ITS
CHARGES
PRESENTS COMPLAINTS AGAINST
THE WHITE PASS AND w.
kON RAILROAD.

Seattle. oct. THE interstate COM
merce commission with all Of its sew
en- members present spent most of to-
day listening to the complaints of
the Humboldt Steamship company
against the White Pass & Yukon
Railroad company. wherein the COM
pany requested that the railway COM
pany be forced To make through
rate between Seattle and points on the
railway which runs from Skagway,
Alaska. to the Yukon river in Canada.
The big business of the commission.
the hearing of the distributiye rate
cases in which Seattle, Tacoma and
Portland shippers are asking a re-
adjustment of eastbound rates will be
reported tomorrow. San Francisco is
equally interested with the northern
cities in this matter. The coast ship
pers are asking readjustment of
rates as far east as their shipments
reach in order that coast manufactur-
ers and jobbers may compete on an
equal footing with the shippers OF
ST. Paul. omaha. Chicago, Kansas
City and other distributing points in
the middle states. The great bulk or
the shipments from the coast go out
ON class rates while the eastern ship
pers enjoy commodity rates on ar
ticles that have been picked out of the
classes. The so-called Spokane rate
case will be affected only indirectly
by the hearing on the distributive
rate cases. Managing owner Max
kalisch of the Humbolt Steamship
company and two of his employees
testified to discrimination against
their company and in favor of other
steamship lines by the railroad. Coun-
sci for the railway presented no Wit
nesses but made an argument that
the commission had no Jurisdiction in
the case. They laid great stress on
the use of the word district in de-
scribing Alaska in the federal stat
utes as distinguished from territory"
and maintained that the power of
regulate Alaska rates was vested I'm

mission had any authority over

waters or over a railroad operating

PRESIDENT TAKES STAGE RIDE
OVER MOUNTAIN ROADS INTO
THE YOSEMITE.
TO SEE BIG TREES TODAY
Executive and His Party Reach the
Wawona Hotel at 5 O'clock in the
After Travelling a Distance Of Thirty
four Miles Through the Mountains
in Stage Coaches.

Wawona. Cal, Oct. An all-day
roads brought President Taft tonight
to this lovely little Sierra retreat. Mr..
Taft and his party reached the Wa
wona hotel in their stages at p. M,
one hour after the scheduled time,
due to the lingering in the Grouse
creek forest near Chinauapin. where
the MONDAY luncheon was served on
improvised tables set down at the
foot of 100 towering pines. The day
ride from FL Portal. which began at
a. M. included glimpses of Yo-
semitic valley from Inspiration and
Artists points, pursuit of the tumb-
ling waters of the Merced river into
the valley floor and a winding mar
row climb to the crest of mountains
1000 feet high. which shut in the Won
ders of the Yosemite.
The day was bright. the air like
crystal and everywhere was the eX-
hilirating scent of pines. News that
mountain lions were infesting the park
held out hopes of adventure for "A
time, but not even the tracks of one
were seen on the road. The president
has declared that this was one OF the
most enjoyable days of his life. 1t
was the first glimpse of the Yosemite
and surroundings, the freedom from
speechmaking all contributed to the
pleasure of the first day OF roughing
ii in the Sierras. The outing came
just In time, for the president was
pretty well tired out when he left San
Francisco. Mr.. Taft's constant coach
companion today was John Muir. the
noted naturalist and explorer
Mr.. Muir knows his Yosemite and
he had ready answers for the in
Vulnerable questions the president put
to him. AS he passed through the
outskirts of the valley the president
was saluted by a grizzled old Cali
fornia pioneer. Galen Clark, the first
white man to make known the ex-
istence of the giant sequoia trees
which the president will see tomor-
row. Mr.. Clark is now over 90. He
lives in the park and has asked that
he be buried among the trees and
mountains he has known so long and
SO well. President Taft alighted from
his stage during portion of the
trip and walked a mile or more up
the mountain road. 1t gave him a
splendid appetite for the picnic lunch
con of fried chicken, potatoes. pie.
fruit and jelly. At one point in the
park where a change of stages was
made the president was greeted by a
band of little school children and
shook hands with them.
Tonight in the Temporary White
House" into which one of the little
hotels here had been converted, the
president Is being guarded as he was
last night at Ell Rortal. by a detach-
ment of cavalry.

Of Strengthening Fleet and Carrying
the Flag to Foreign Markets.

Washington. oct. 7.--Defcnding. with
characteristic vigor, the American
navy. Admiral Dewey today asserted
that not only is our navy not bluff
but that he is confident that it would
give a good account of itself should
ar ever come. The admirafs remarks
were called forth by statement at
tributed to former Representative Ian
dis of Indiana, who in "A recent speech
Il Cincinnati, in advocating ship SUBJ
sidy. is. reported to have said that
those Americans who are informed
consider our navy bluff
Declaring that he saw no war clouds
on the horizon, Admiral Dewey dis
cussed several phases of the navy. He
expressed himself as heartily in favor
of ship subsidy legislation and made
a strong plea for the continued up
building OF the navy. Referring to the
remark attributed to Mr. I.andts. Nd
miral Dewey said that what Mr.. Lam
lis meant was that the navy would
,e comparatively useless in time of
war without necessary auxiliaries
drawa from the merchant marine
Wants Subsidy.
He" continued Admiral Dewey,
wants subsidy for our ships of
commerce. and so do l."
The admiral expressed the belief that
ship subsidy legislation could bc se-
cured were 1t not for the use OF the
word subsidy" which. he said. many
people do not like, because they
thought IL meant to give something
for nothing
But the American navy is not quite
so helpless as one might imagine from
Mr.. Landis' remarks" said the ad-
miral. We have Is Golfers and sey-
eral transports already in the serv-
Ice. or course. these would not he
enough in time Of war. and | hope
that we will continue to add To that
number If we were to have war.
we could purchase as many ships as
we might need. We did So in the
Spanish war. IL would, of course.
be a great deal better IL we had them
already"
The admiral declared that the Unit
ed States needed a merchant marine.
not only for the value II might pos
sess as furnishing auNiliaries to the
navy. but to carry the American flag
to the markets Of the world.
But" he said, there will be- no
war. And. SO long as we go ahead
steadily and moderately in adding to
our navy. replacing the older ships
with the most modern type, thus
keeping our navy abreast Of the world.
no one will ever be able to say. like
Mr.. Landis. that other nations do not
regard the American navy seriously"
