JOIN MOVEMENT FOR
 MERCHANT MARINE
IFrom Fridays Daily.)

VI AOAll llNdy D L'ohyJ Deciding to join the concerted
 move of the Pacific coast chambers
 towards establishing an American
 merchant marine, the Chamber ot
 Commerce at its weekly meeting last
 night decided on the recommends
 ton of the legislative committee tc
 send to President Wilson and the
 secretary of commerce at Washing
 ton the resolution of the San Fran cisco chamber read at the previous meeting. Copies of it which call for the appointment of commissioners to investigate and make reports will be sent as soon as possible.
 In the resolution the presidents at tention is called to the fact that the United States has reached a point where it is necessary to find new and increased foreign markets to insure its future prosperity. To gain this it will be necessary for the United States to enlarge its merchant ma rine. Because of the adverse laws and regulations the resolution con tends that ships sailing under the American flag are unable to compete with ships under foreign flags and that under such conditions capital cannot be induced to invest in ships to sail under the stars and stripes. It is asked that the statutes be so changed that they will, at least, place the ships flying the American emblem on the same basis with those under foreign flags. The San Francisco chamber wants the president to ap- point commission to investigate ex- isting conditions, find remedies, and prepare bill which will remedy ex- isting conditions.
 It is believed that the benefit of such revision would not only be ef fectively felt on both coasts but throughout the continent as larger merchant marine would give the in land manufacturers and producers a wider and more profitable field for their products.
 E. A. Kastner, chairman of the Frontier Days committee, declared last night that a financial report of the big show would not be ready for a few weeks because of the many out standing bills, but he did say that he believed it all was one "howling sue cess" and that more money had been taken in this year and better show was given than ever before. Kastner complimented all of the different committees on their splendid team work and said that from every view point the show was one grand sue cess. His report in detail will be given later.
 In letter to the Chamber of Com merce the department of the interior at Washington announces that the will offer for sale at pub lie auction on July 26, at Poison, Mont, villa sites of from two to five acres along picturesque Flathead lake. The lake is in Northwestern Mon tana and west of the Rocky noun tains. The government believes that the sites will make excellent summer homes.
 Mrs. Louis Walsh, of Pine Crest, has purchased an additional lot in that section from the Chamber of Commerce. The new lot adjoins one purchased by her some time ago.

EITEL'S OFFICERS
FLEE FOR HOME?
Men Who Left German Raider Before
Internment at Norfolk Have
Failed TO Return.

Washington. D. c. June Lieu
tenant Brauer and certain men OF
the crew" of the German commerce
raider Prinz Etel Friedrich. who left
the ship before she was formally in
termed. and have not returned to the
Norfolk navy yard. are believed TO
have left the country. Customs Col
lector Hamilton ar Norfolk made this
report today 10 the treasury depart
ment.
Special agents of the department of
justice are conducting an investigation
at the instance of the state depart
ment. 10 which Collector Hamilton's s
report was referred. 1t appears that
Brauer and the men were not on parole
because the ship had not been in
termed. but Mr.. Hamilton understood
he had the word of Captain Thierichens
that none of his officers or men would
leave the vicinity of Newport News
while the status of the cruiser was in
suspense.
Paris, June IA Havas dispatch
from Algeciras. Spain. filed yesterday,
gives details Of the arrest there Of the
man who claimed to be the command
er of the German converted cruiser
Prinz Eitel Friedrich. He shipped as
cook aboard an Italian steamer bound
for Genoa. intending TO go from there
TO Germany. British authorities were
informed Of his presence aboard the
vessel and held up the steamer. When
the supposed cook declared
he was an Italian. but finally ad
mitted ne was a German. and assert
ed he was the EiteIs commander. He
was interned at Gibraltar.
Obviously the man arrested at Al
geciras is masquerading under the
name of Commander Thierichens OF
the Prinz Eitel Frederick for the lat
ter now is at Norfolk. Va. He gave his
parole not 70 leave the United States
after his ship was interned at New
port News.
