DON'T WANT NAVY YARD
Steamship Companies Say 1t Is
Ont of Question as Terminal.

Steamship men In this city were not en-
thusiastic yesterday over the apanuon-
rnent ~ the navy yard in Brooklyn, the
nronosaI Of which has been under dis
cussion in Washington by Secretary
Never. Mayor Gaynor and Dock Com
missioner Tomkins. Representatives. OF
the big lines which have great steamships
in the water and still bigger ones under
construction laughed at the suggestion
that the navy yard might be good
place for terminals. Even the big new
Grydock would be OF no value to the
larger vessels that might need 20 go there
for emergency repairs.
Treacherous tides In the East River,
Darrowness Of the rivers fairway, and
the comparatively limited space between
the surface Of the water and the floor or
the Brooklyn Bridge are the obstacles IN
the way Of utilizing the site OF the navy
yard for the docking of the big liners. II
was said yesterday by a representative
of the Cunard Line, owners OF the Lusi-
tania and Mauretania. that neither OF these
steamships could pass under the Brook
Iyn Bridge, even il channel and tidal con
ditions were favorable. He added:
when the Carpathia needed 10 go into
drydock some time ago and 1t was planned
to send her to the navy yard, we found
she could not pass under the Brooklyn
bridge, and the Carpathia, remember, Is
one Of our small ships. The navy yard
is about the last place any line with the
modern type OF steamship would care 10
90 for a terminal. The place is out Of
the question"
II the White Star Lines ij,0OO-ton steam
ship Olympic should undertake to steam
up the East River something would hap
pen to her tunnels and masts, and 10 the
Brooklyn Bridge. The floor Of the Brook
lyn Bridge is ll9 feet 3 inches above the
surface of the river at high water. while
the distance from the keel Of the Olympic
to the tops of her tunnels is 1I5 feet. As
suming that the vessel were drawing 81
feet Of water on her journey mp the East
River. her tunnels would not clear the
bridge by q feet.

TALK OF NARRAGANSETT BASE
Mayor Fitzgerald Tells Secretary
Never Boston Opposes II.

Washington, Dec. s.-NIayor Fitzgerald OF
Boston had a Ions conference to-day with
Secretary Meyer on the proposed naval
base in Narragansett Bay. Mr. Meyer, the
Mayor said, gave him the impression that
the plan, which has been under considera-
ton for some time by Joint army and
navy board, had advanced TO the stage
where It was almost ready for presentation
10 Congress.
Boston Mayor Fitzgerald said. would
vigorously oppose such change. although.
according 10 the plan, workers In the Mar
ragansett yard would be drawn from Bos-
ton Providence and New York
Secretary Meyer pointed out that when
the Panama Canal was opened the battle
shin feet would divide much OF its time
between the east and west coasts Of the
United states and would lessen the need
,or navy yards on the Atlantic side. Mar
ragansett Bay was proposed as the site for
the base. he said. because II was sufficient
IN provide harbor area for the anchorage
of the biggest fleet. and It's entrance could
easily be protected.

.DEN|S0N HAS TRUST CURE

FEDERAL CHARTER REMEDY
constructive Problems Should
Now Be Taken Up, Says As
sistant Attorney General.

Boston. Dec. S.-Business mon have
faiied In their public duty in respect TO
sowing the antitrust problem, declared
Assistant Attorney General Winfred r.
Denison of the Department of Justice to-
night III addressing the Economic Club
mere. He called upon the business men
OF tho country to stop sulklng and TO turn
their attention to constructive problems.
i think II Is not creditable." said he.
that for twenty years the majority Of
business men should have rested smugly.
regardless Of the evil elements in the
progress Of things, awaking TO public ac-
tiVlty only when an efficient enforcement
or law of the nation began to cause
them personal inconvenience.
Many business men, Mr.. Denison con-
tinued' considered themselves in dilem-
ma because the Sherman law required
business to compete, and commercial con-
ditions rendered competition impossible.
Whether such dilemma really existed.
or was delusion, the mental condition
OF business men remained the same This
condition he added, was better met by a
legislative cure than by an attempt TO
change the opinions of business men.
The Legislative cure he suggested was
President Tafts federal Incorporation
law. adding:
The ono thing which should no longer
be tolerated, and which | believe the
public will no longer tolerate, is the con
tinuance of the immunity from legal con
troll which was been enjoyed by the big
interstate corporations. We must have
some sovereignty of jurisdiction co-eXten-
sive with the corporations which disregard
state lines, because otherwise We shall
hav" a condition outside Of and beyond
any legal control and that means that the
people cannot be sure of fair play.
I'm fact the privileges which tho inter-
state corporations have exercised Of dodg-
ing from one state jurisdiction To another
in a sort of shell game against the public
was one Of the things which aroused the
tremendous hostility against tho great
corporations That feature must loo elimi-
mated, and the only way in which II can
be eliminated IS through legislation apply
ing the sovereignty of the United States
to the corporations which cover the United
states.
The desire for economy and efficiency
which led to combinations. Mr.. Denison

The witness then told the story OF 'ne

THE object was to get several men Vot-
ing for Hopkins 10 vote for somebody else,
he said. That would have made the dead'
lock more secure, as e took votes away
from q strong candidate, and that was
what Deneen wanted. Deneen at that tlne

"Who were his masters?" asked Senator
Lea.
'The newspapers in Chicago said Lnn-
din "They probably thought Deneen could
do them more good as Governor than ne
could as Senator. While he was making
up his mind he was anxious 10 have the
deadlock continued, so he could keep any
body else from getting IT,"
DO YOU think Dencen was working for

II think he was. because II served his
best purposes at that time. ! heard HIN
indicate II indirectly lie old not feel that
all his friends had stood by him, and he
was willing TO gather strength By merger
with the Lorimer men. Deneen was FOR
