Deprecates Division of Forces.
Mr.. Taft said he did not undervalue
"the sweets of publicity and popular
applause" in promoting good work But
he thought the desire on the part of
donors for publicity was harmful when
it led to division of forces and an in
crease of unnecessary expense. He re-
counted the work of the Red Cross in

JAPANESE SHIPS GRAB
PACIFIC SHIPPING TRADE
Take Place of American Line
Driven Out by New Seaman's
Legislation.

san FRANCISCO. August 2S.-The
Toyo kisen kaisha.. which, with the
retirement of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company, becomes the only
steamship line carrying passengers be-
tween this port and the orient, will
seize the opportunity for expansion
offered by the sale of the rival carriers
to the Atlantic Transport Company.
A statement to this effect was made
here today by Soichiro Asano, presi-
dent of the Japanese line, who said:
Our recent purchase from the Pa
cific Mail Company of the liner Persia
was the first step in the enlargement
of our fleet. AS soon as possible we
will build two or three new liners,
and until they are completed two of
our vessels in the South America trade
the Kiyo Maru and the Seiyo Maru,
both passenger liners-will call regu-
larly at this port.
TT is probable that the Anyo Maru,
the third vessel in South American
trade, will be taken off that run very
soon and placed in the direct service
between San Francisco and Japan.
This will give us six vessels in San
Francisco-orient service and two
others making this city port of CALL

PLEASURE CRAFT IN PORT.
Nasty Weather Keeps Yachts From
Weekend Trips,

Rain and generally cool weather had
a depressing effect on pleasure craft
owners. AS a consequence most of the
fleet of pleasure craft which each Sat-
urday evening or Sunday morning have
left for cruises to the lower river may
be found this morning at their berth
ing places. Passengers on the excur-
sion steamers yesterday and last night
did not overcrowd them. The eXcur-
sion season on the Potomac is rapidly
drawing to a close, only nine days re-
naming of the season, which ends La
Dor day.
Excursion managers all say that no
matter how hot the weather may be
after Labor day no one who has ever
tried running excursions after the first
week in September has ever succeeded
in paying expenses.

to mortgage the quaint, old-fashioned

the village that had been left to him
by his dead mother. He felt it almost
sacrilegious the day he affixed his
signature to a mortgage for $1,000,
but there was no way out of it if he
expected to exploit his formula.
Albion did not inform Miss Tyren
of his plans. He secured leave of
absence of a month from the works
and simply told her that he would be
absent most of that time in the city.
