Bi-WeekIy SerFice Not Approved
SAN FRANCISCO, March u. - The
Lnckenback Steamship Co. of New
York. the successors to the defunct
firm Of Bates & Chesebrough, may net
further increase the number of
freight steamers on the San Francis
co-Panama run, as was originally
planned. Edgar r. Luckenhack, the
president of the company, left for New
York yesterday, after spending three
weeks in this city looking over the sit
uation Before his arrival it was ten
tatively planned by President
Thakara and Lewis Luckenback, a
member of the firm. who have been
here for the last four months, TO inau-
gurate q bi-weekly service between
this port and Panama. 1t was expect
ed that President Luckenback would
approve this plan while in San Fran
cisco.
He returned to the east, however,
without doing this, and Lewis Luck
enback, in statement at the st. Fran
els Hotel last night, said their plans
for the future depended entirely upon
the amount OF business handled.
President Luckenback's failure to
approve the plans to bring two more
steamers around from the Atlantic
fleet was due to the fact that the
freighter Pleiades, the second steamer
to be dispatched from this port. left
last week with cargo 1000 tons short
of her capacity. 1t was intimated by
1cWiS LfNChCuDt1Sh THAI buC COAtpdLg
would not engage in any rate war.

for the San Francisco-P Panama run de-
ponds entirely upon subsequent
events he said "We arc not Igoing
to lose 500 a 6Sy, as Bates & CHEESE
brough did. We are spending oar own
money in inaugurating this service,
and that makes vast difference. A
5-cent difference in shipping rites also
makes difference to shipping COM
panies as well as to shippers. The
Ivra is here now and she Will be dis.
