MAY WITHDRAW
y BIGIlIRBINER|'s

The threatened withdrawal of the
fine and speedy turbiners Harvard
and Yale, in the San Francisco, Los
Angeles service, has awakened more
than usual interest in shipping and
commercial service. as
Prospects that the c. P. r. steam
or Princess Patricia will be the only
turbiner in the passenger service on
the Pacific coast are in sight as the
result Of a lawsuit fled In the East
ern courts few. days ago. It is
remembered in local shipping circles
that when the big ttrbiners Yale and
Harvard were brought around the
Horn to operate between San Diego
and San Francisco that there was
some trouble threatened by the In
terests which owned the vessels. &
SUIT % Filed. =.
The trouble has at last fiatufed with
the fling In the New York courts
of suit by Miss Morse, sister of
Charles w. Morse. who once controll-
ed the Metropolitan steamship line,
for the restoration of the vessels to
I the Boston-New York run, for which
they were built. Miss Morse makes
her attack on the New Haven Rail-
way company, which has been very
much, to the front lately as the result
Of the arrangement said to have been
made between 1t and the Grand Trunk
Pacific. !, Il ~
She charges that the two steamers
have been chartered to the Pacific
company at terms unfairly low, and
that she and other Shareholders are
being injured by the suppression of
the competition which existed before,
the New Haven road secured control
of the Metropolitan company: !
Operations Have Paid. E. - ~''.. /
At the time the fast steamers were
brought out to this Coast there was
considerable stagnation I'm the ship
ping industry in the East, and the
offer to charter them was jumped at
by the majority of the owning inter-
ests. II is understood that their oper-
ations on the California coast, where
traffic has increased because of the
service provided, has always paid.
1t is believed that higher charter
rates and the fact that water trans
portation business on the East coast
has picked up are two of the reasons
behind the fling of the suit. It is
evidently believed that they will make
more dividends on the old route than
on their present one, and the outcome
Of the suit will be watched with in
terest. d.
The Yale and Harvard maintain a
17-hour service between Los Angeles
and San Francisco. During the past
year they have commenced to run fur
ther south to San Die 90. They are.
credited with speed of twenty -four
knots an hour and are the only real
competitors against the Princess Pat
ricia for speed honors on the Pacific.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. IA That
the Luckenbachs and w. r. Grace &
Co. will indulge in a hard fight to
pick up the remnants Of the coast-to-
coast freight business resulting from
the Bates & Chesebrough .dasco is
the opinion of shipping men who are
in close touch with Che situation. TO
what extent the fight viii be carried
on. is not known, but 1t Is believed
that the two big companies will bat!
tie for supremacy and that the VIC
tor will then tackle the Pacific Mail
Company as it's opponent. -
{ The first gun in the fight was fired
yesterday when Grace & Co., as agents
for the. Atlantic and Pacific Steamship
Company, made an announcement OF
their service between Atlantic ports,
San Francisco and Puget Sound. I'm
til the opening of the Panama Canal
the steamers of the feet will come
out via Magellan. BY the time the big
ditch is opened the Grace interests
expect to have a firm hold on the
traffic. The company has the advan.
tage of possessing number of brand
new steamers, the first Of which viii
leave Philadelphia and New York
early next month for San Francisco,
making the voyage out in about fifty
days. This vessel is the 7500-ton liner
Santa Cruz. which has Just left the
ways. She is to be followed by the
10,000-ton steamers Santa Clara, San
ia Catalina and Santa Cecilia, now
under construction, the sailing days
having been fixed at approximately
August 18th, September 18th and Oc-
tober 18th respectively.
These vessels, according to the an
nouncement of Grace & Co., are the
latest improved type of cargo car
rierS and are UP to date in every par
ticular. When, the canal is opened
for commercial trade they will be OPP
Grated on fortnightly schedule. Ship
nents until that time, via Magellan,
Will be handled through without trans
shipment en- route, assuring complete
delivery of cargo without damage.
The Santa Cruz, which will be the
first vessel of the fleet to arrive here,
has attractive first-class accommoda-
lions, including suits with private
baths, for seventy-f1ve passengers.
The Luckenbachs, it is said, have
had their eyes on the big freighter
Damara, which recently went under
the American nag, and which Grace &
Co. have been operating in the west
coast business. 1t is said that they
had an option to purchase her when
her charter expired from the owners,
Eschen & Minor. Grace & Co., how.
ever, have made coup in this con.
nection by exercising their right to
recharter the vessel, having taken her
for another year. The Damara arriv.
