HOUSE SHIPPING
BILL IS PASSED
BY The SENATE
Measure Now Goes to the
President for His Sigma
ture-The Conference Re-
port Is Rejected.

Washington, Aug. 17-By vote of
40 to 20 the senate today rejected the
conference report on the shipping bill
to admit foreign built ships to Ameri-
can registry and proposing to open the
coastwise trade to foreign craft
The house bill was then adopted by
the same vote. 1t only extends Ameri-
can registry of all foreign built ships.
The bill now goes to President Wilson
for approval. 1t is believed he will
sign it.
The bill enacts into law the admin
istration plan to restore the trans
Atlantic trade paralyzed by the Euro
pean war. 1t is also designed to en-
large the American merchant marine.
Already the Hamburg American line
has received proposals for certain of
it's vessels 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 built ships come
under the American flag soon after
President Wilson signs the bill
Amazed at Opposition.
Senator O'Gorman, in charge Of the
bill, expressed amazement over Demo-
cratic opposition.
Discussion here today" said he, lin :
dicates that congress is directing its
energies toward the protection of spe-
cial interests, rather than the promotion
of the general welfare. 1t amazes me
that senators who not long ago elo-
quently proclaimed the American coast
wise shipping an offensive monopoly
seem to find no difficulty today arguing
for a result that will be to perpetuate
this monopoly that has fattened on I'M
American principles. l scarcely can be-
lieve my eyes and ears, hearing sena-
tors protesting allegiance to the Demo
cratic creed, paraphrase the Republican
argument for 20 years in support of a
protective tariff. We have reached a
sad day in the decline of the Demo-
cratic party when Democrats rise here
and use Republican arguments in sup
port of an offensive and un-American
system of protection"

I'VE believe that one of the best

feared will prove to be typhoid fever.
He was accompanied by his brother.
Or. Neff, a former Virginia athletic
star.
Three days ago Neff complained to
his manager of feeling i'll and yesterday
he did not even come TO National Park.
Last night the brother told Griffith of
his grave fears and asked that he be
allowed to take the player home This
was granted and early today the pair
started for the family home.
Nef seemed TO possess all the quail
ties to develop into a good ball player
vas well liked by his comrades in the
professional, diamond ranks and there is
e sincere hope that the fears of the
PHYSICIANS will prove groundless.
When it came to offering a substitute
hitter for Jack Bentley in the ninth in

should be the one chosen by Griffith.
The fact that the player vas not even

appear.

try to get victory for the defeat
which he suffered Yesterday through

Griffith decided today to make no bid
for the services of Johnny Eates, the
Cincinnati outfielder. who was yesterday,
Internationally released. During the
winter the Nationals tried to land the
player, but he has had such poor
season that Griffith does not feel that
II is worth while grabbing him at this

Today the stirring race of the Ameri-

with the Nationals having glided back
into last place in the first section of
the parade, four points behind Detroit.
