WOULD CHANGE
MARITIME LAW

Returning from a pleasure trip
around South America, during which he
says he saw but one ship sailing under
the American flag. and that one, a
millionaire's yacht. Louis A Ziegler.
greatly deplores the fact that his
country has no merchant marine.
While on the trip, he with one hundred
other travellers. signed a petition ask
ing Congress to repeal the law which
prohibits the registry in this country
of merchant ships built in other coun-
tries. Tt is because Of this law, he
believes, there is no merchant marine
here. In speaking of the matter to a
Star reporter last night, he said:
We left New York Bay January 20 and
returned on the 10th of April. In that
time we Travelled 10000 miles, touching the
rich South American ports of Rio Janeiro.
Montevideo. Valparaiso, Buenos Ayres
and Santos. In every port there We're
hundreds of merchant ships.
Every important nation in the world
with the exception of the United States
was represented. That is the reason we
travellers. feel that this country is losing
millions of dollars a year In revenue and
trade because we have no merchant ma
rine. But it is impossible to figure what
W - - R+18GSt -
countries know very little of the United
States. because when the rich men from
Rio de Jaueiro or other big South Ameri-
can cities travel they go to Rome, Naples,
Paris and other European cities.
The principal reason for this lies in the
with ports of the United States. When
q South American wants to come to New
York he must go by way of Genoa or
Liverpool: Naturally, he rarely continues
TO New York, as the European cities sup
ply all his wants. | think 1t is the same
with the shipping of merchandise. 1t must
go by way of European ports in most
cases, thus Increasing the cost Of trans
of course, the cost OF labor in this
country is much higher than in other
countries. This Is the principal reason
that American ship owners, like Morgan.
for instance, invest tFNir capital in for
ships, They ould not begin to
1t. Is safe to say, a merchant ship can
be built In England 30 per cent, cheaper
than it could be built here; On the other
ordinary American shipper II this foolish
pride should be discarded. He would es-
tablish q greater trade With South Amer,
pave the way for this country to lay the
foundation Of a ava organization of the
greatest value IN case Of war with 3 for
real bond between the Americas OF the
Western Hemisphere that will be of vast
mutual and permanent benefit.
Mr.. ziegier said that the early open
ing of the Panama Canal is another
reason why the law should be re-
pealed.
Most of the men on the trip with Mr..
Ziegler were Westerners. The trip
was made in the steamship Bleucher.
Although during the trip there vas
much informal discussion about start
ing a move to hay tho merchant ma

JOY UNLEAsHED
BY MOUNTAINS

They are laughing yet, those who at
tended the minstrel show of the John
f. Monahan Association last night.
where was unloaded fun in large guam
titles. There never has been a large
crowd in the Kruger Auditorium, and
1t is certain that the entertainment
was in keeping with the size of the
audience. The jokesmiths of the asso-
citation have been hammering material
into shape for months. and many were
the we'll known men in the assemblage
who were surprised to have a little fun
thrust at them by the end men.
A novel feature of the entertainment
took ~everyone's fancy, wnen during
the singing by George A, Lair Ct Il
Want to be in Dixie 4 sweet, childish
voice Joined in the chorus, ana was
received by a storm OF applause. Ten
year-old Helen Lueddeke was respon-
sible for the voice. The spot light was
thrown on the little girl, who was
standing in an upper box, and she
looked as sweet as h sounded she
was encored time after time until both
the audience n the little n got
tired.
To enumerate the various performers
and tell of their qualities as entertain
ers would be but tiresome repetition.
They were all good. The endmen We're
as funny as the average professional
endmen. The s~oloists had good voices
and knew how to use them. Alderman
j. Francis Hanlon. who sang Never
Mind Singing, Just Dance. My Dear"
has an unusually good voice. 1t has
volume. tone and fexibility and his
song was we'll received.
Former Freebooter Frank A. Foley
was the interlocutor. and everybody
agreed tina he was some i~nterlocutor,
indeed. on the part of none of them
was there the apparent
that is expected in amateurs. The end
men were George A. Lair and Edward
]. Powers who had the tambos, and
John f. McGuiness and James S. Null
lin. who had the bones. Carl Pfeifer
was the musical director.

man, of $50 High street, might have
been declared a winner except for the
fact that the play could not be staged
for vaudeville to give it proper presen-
tations
1.-THE Direct Current" by Alice Car
ter, of the Bloomfield High School,
perhaps was the best composed story,
but the rules of the contest We're
broken in the length of the play.
Other excellent plays that deserve
special mention, according to the
Judges, are "Her Boy" by Otto Ostrow,
81 Lincoln street; 1.-The Freshman's
Turn" by John Kelly Thurman, %
Franklin place, Arlington; Justice"
by Leon L. Asch. As Harrison avenue,
Harrison; when Women Vote" by
Olive C. Dimmics1. 1888 Mt. Prospect
avenue; 1.-THE Car Outside" by J. Ham
bright Cramer, 80 Clay street.
There were many other plays that
really deserve special mention; In fact,
the majority of the eighty-two plays
submitted by the contestants were of
thigh order. and the authors deserve
great credit.
William J. McKiernan. supervisor of
the city Fairgrounds, who served as
one Of the judges, has declared that
he will negotiate with some of the
young authors for the production of
their plays for the Fairgrounds Com
mission.
