CANAL is OPEN To COMMERCE
Steamer Ancon Passes Through
in Nine Hours.

Panama, c. A.-The Panama Canal
is open to the commerce of the world.
Henceforth ships may pass through
the great waterway which established
a new ocean highway for trade.
The steamship Ancon, owned by the
United States war department, with
many notable people on board, made
the official passage which signalizes
the opening of the canal. She left
Cristobal at o'cock in the morn
ing and reached Balboa, on the Pa
cif1c end, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
having navigated the waterway in nine
hours
The Ancon did not anchor at Balboa,
but proceeded into deep water in the
Pacific beyond the fortified island,
where she anchored in the channel of
the canal until her return to Balboa,
when she landed her passengers.
The Ancon will remain at the Balboa
docks for some time, discharging her
cargo, this being the first commercial
voyage made through the canal.
The canal having been officially
opened, it will be used at once for the
transfer of four cargo ships, which
will thus shorten their routes. The
private yacht Lasata, owned in Los
Angeles, also will be transferred to
the Pacific, homeward bound.

SHIP BILL PASSES
President Wilson May Now Ad-
nit Foreign Vessels to
American Registry.
TO RESTORE SEA COMMERCE
Measure Is Designed to Aid in Avoid
ing ParaIyzing Effect of Great
European War.

Washington, D. C.-Congress has
passed the emergency shipping bill
which will authorize the President to
admit foreign built ships to American
registry so that commercial fleets may
sail the seas under protection of the
American flag while belligerents of
Europe are at war and securing the
oceans for prizes. President Wilson
will sign the bill at once.
elimination of the effort to enact
this legislation followed reputation
by the senate of the conference report
on the measure, which previously had
been radically amended in the senate.
AS it goes to the President, the bill
was the same as it passed the house
more than a week ago.
AS finally agreed to, the bill, besides
providing for the registry of foreign
built ships, authorizes the President,
in his discretion, to suspend provis-
ions of the law requiring all watch
officers of American vessels in the
foreign trade to be citizens of the
United States, and requiring survey,
inspection and measurement of vessels
admitted to registry by officers of the
United States.
The bill fits into the administration
plan to restore the transatlantic
trade paralyzed by the European war.
1t is also designed to enlarge the
American merchant marine. Already
the Hamburg-American line has re-
ceived proposals for certain of its yes
sells now in American waters and the
North German Lloyd line has an
nounced that it will sell some of its
ships. Administration officials expect
to see many foreign ships come under
the American flag soon.
In passing the house bill the senate
receded from all its amendments. but
subsequently passed a joint resolution
granting permission to the American
Red Cross to charter a ship which may
fly the American flag. This provision
was included among the senate amend
ments to the house bill but made a
separate matter by this action that
the registry bill might not be delayed
Opponents of the conference report
began the final attack on the measure
titions were presented signed by thou
sands of employees of the Cramp Ship
building company of Philadelphia, the
New York Shipbuilding company of
Camden, n. J., and other companies,
protesting against the proposal to adj
coastwise trade. The petitioners as
serted this would deprive them of a
means of livelihood.
