MENDOZA RELEASED ON
HIS OWN RECOGNIZANCE
Woman Fails to Substantiate
the Charge of Threats

The case of Pedro Mendoza pro-
prietor of restaurant in Steiner
street near O'Farren. charged with
threatening to Kill Eulalia Torres, a
Mexican woman who had been en-
ployed as a waitress in his restaurant,
was heard before Police Judge Weller
yesterday. Mendoza was released on
his own recognizance for 80 days
The woman had accused Mendoza of
keeping her locked in room for 40
days and of treating her cruelty. but
when she testified in court she failed
10 substantiate her story except to the
effect that Mendoza had come to the
house where she had taken refuge and
had asked her to return to him or he
might kill her. which Mendoza denied.
Attorney Radford, who represented
the woman. complained to the Judge
that Mendoza had whispered to her in
court that he would kill her yet. but
the judge declined to take judicial
notice of it. He warned Mendoza to
keep away from her.

NAVY IS FAvORING
/ FOREIGN STEAMERS
Chamber of Commerce Sends
Protest to Secretary Dickin-
son in Washington
Unfairness Is Charged in Trans
porting Coal Cargoes Between
Domestic Ports

Protest has been made to Secretary
of the Navy c. W. Dickinson against
the practice of the navy Department
Ia engaging foreign tramp steamers to
carry coal from the east to this coast.
The issue is discussed at length in a
letter sent TO Secretary Dickinson by
PRESIDENT James McNab of the chamber
OF commerce of this city.
INSTANCE OF UNFAIRNESS
One feature of the unfairness of
permitting the foreign vessels to trans
port coal from one domestic port to
announcer, especially when an American
Vessel Is available" writes McNab, lis
that a foreign vessel, finding itself ON
the Atlantic coast with no opportunity
Oh reachlng a point In the Pacific,
Where freight rates are higher, and
ascerta1nlng that the United States
government Is willing to break the
spirit of the American coastwise navi-
cation laws, names a rate of freight
winch might cover a portion of the
expenses for the transfer of the tramp
steamer from one coast to the other, at
winch latter point it completes with
American vessels engaged in foreign
trade and completely demoralizes
freight rates"
DENIED A CARGO
In his letter McNab cites the case of
the Wilhelmina built at Newport News
Tor the Matson navigation company of
this city at cost of 100000. April
cation was made to the navy depart
ment for cargo of 1000 tons of coal
to be transported to San Francisco
The request was denied because the
department is paying foreign ships
$3.50 per ton in preference to paying
American ships 81 per ton. the refusal
being based on former President Roose-
velt's ruling that an advance of so per
cent might be allowed.
MUST EARN MORE
1t is estimated by McNab that the
American ship, because of the increased
cost of construction ana high wages
would have to earn $12,750 more on the
voyage OF so days than a foreign vessel.
The avowed policy of the United
States government" writes McNab, Ito
utilize foreign tonnage when 1t can be
had at 80 per cent less than American,
tends TO, discourage the building of
American ships. We firmly believe that
our government ought not to strike
the American shipping industry such,
severe blow as it is now administering.
1t is impossible for us to think for a
single moment that the government of
the United States will persist in pur-
suing policy the use of which by q
private citizen is prohibited by law

when asked the reasons for divers
contemplated retirement from the board

Commissioner O'Connor has taught

Mayor Taylor wants harmony in the
department" was the upshot of divers
explanations to his friends yesterday

For myself, l don't believe harmony
is the best thing. 1t is better to have
some opposition in the board. for that

the duties in the department, as
