TRADE WITH PHILIPPINES
 IS VIRTUALLY PARALYZED
Lack of Ships to Handle Commerce
 Since War Begun.

Washington, March s.-Trade be- tween United States and the Philip pine Islands has been virtually para lyzed and business conditions in the islands seriously depressed by lack of ships to handle the commerce since the European war began. This situation was revealed today in a letter from Secretary of Commerce Redfeld to Secretary Garrison of the war depart ment to whom Governor General Har- risor had appealed for relief for the island shippers.
 After reciting the conditions as des- cr1bed by the governor general, the letter says: 50 long as there is no law giving us any power over any shipping, the government is powerless in the matter. Private and corporate interests are in control of the situation and we can do nothing"
 Reports Of congested conditions in the islands said freight rates had doubled in the past ten days and that ships could not be obtained to move the products awaiting shipment at Manila. Prices were reported to be falling on account of short tonnage and increased rates.

TO INVESTIGATE BUSINESS
 PLANS OF CORPORATIONS
One of the First Duties of the Federal
 Trade Commission.

Washington, March S.-When the federal trade commission organizes here next week it probably vii fall heir to a mass of first hand inforna- tion about business plans of corpora tions which involve the question of unfair methods of competition. The information is now in the hands of the department of justice in the form of letters from corporations through out the country.
 Such letters began to reach that de- partment shortly after the trade com mission act went into effect and have continued to some in regularly. The writers generally seek to obtain ad- vice as to whether prospective busi- ness moves are within the law. In each case the answer has been that the de- partment cannot furnish the desired advice.
 There is some question also whether the trade commission has authority to give such anticipatory advice, but the letters probably will be turned over to 1t by Attorney General Gregory.
 None of the so-called trusts or or ganizations of big business has been among the letter writers.

COURT REMITS $500 FINE
 IMPOSED ON TANNENBAUM
Because Sum Would Have to Be Paid
 by Pennies of the Poor.

New York, March S.-The $500 fine imposed on Frank Tannenbaun, in addition to a years Imprisonment for leading 191 unemployed men into St. Alphonsus' church last year was re- mitted today by the court of general sessions. Tannenbaum'S' prison sen tence expires tomorrow.
 Judge Wadhams, in renitting the fine, called attention to the fact that money to pay the penalty had been collected from sympathizers among the poor in sums ranging from five cents up.
 T do not think" he said, that the ends of, justice now require that the pennies of the poor should be ac- cepted to pay the .fine."
 Adding in his opinion the imposition of fine rarely, if ever was condu- cive to the end of protecting society from the commission of a crime, he said: "The rich pay and can afford to do so and the poor, who cannot pay, suffer, not for the offense, but for their poverty"
 Judge Wadhams also laid stress on Tannenbaum's profession that his mo- tive had been good one-namely, to call the attention of the public to a condition of unemployed.

There's joy in sailing outward.
 Though we leave upon the pier, With faces grieved and wistful,
 Our very dearest dear; Though the sea shall roll between us
 For perhaps a whole round year. There's joy in climbing mountains,
 In fording rushing brooks, In peer.ng into places
 We've read about in books, In meeting stranger people
 With unfamiliar looks But the joy of joys is ours,
 Untouched by any pain, When we take the hone-bound steamer
 And catch the home-bound train There's nothing half so pleasant
 As coming home again.
