INSURANCE CHARGES COR
ROBORATE ASQUITH

1T would be natural for
those who know only OF
surface conditions to
doubt the statement by Pre-
mier Asquith that the subma-
rine attacks are working no
substantial injury upon British
shipping. Scarcely day goes
by that does not tell of some
British cargo being sent to the
bottom. Some days several
such cases come to hand.
Yet there are excellent rea-
sons for believing Asquith told
the truth in the house of COM
mons yesterday. The best evil
dence upon the subject is found
in the war and marine insur-
ance rates on English bound
cargoes.
Out of Portland the insur-
ance on wheat to Liverpool is
now figured at three per cent
for war insurance and three
per cent for marine insurance.
That means that on a bushel Of
wheat valued at 81 a three cent
war insurance charge is made.
In other words those who set
the war risk rate estimate the
chances are 80 to one that a
wheat ship will make Liverpool
in safety.
A fact that tends to safety
of shipping is the restricted
area of the submarine zone.
Merchantmen serving the allies
have no danger outside the
blockade zone because there
are no German cruisers upon
the ocean.
In the war zone ships may
guard against attack by alter
ing their accustomed routes or
by going under escort. In
spite of these precautions a
large number of ships are de-
stroyed yet where one ship is
caught scores of merchantmen
get through in safety.
The submarine does spectac-
uIar work and its work is effec-
tive as far as it goes. But it is
fair to assume that if the
under sea raiders were seri-
ously Gripping English com
merce the war insurance
charges would be higher than
they are.

THE SEAMAN'S LAW

II LAINLY inspired by ship
- ping concerns that may
. or may not know what is
good for the merchant marine,
a hullabaloo is being carried on
over the country about the La
Toilette seaman law passed by
the last congress. 1t is going
TO be up for repeal or for such
changes as will vitality cripple
the measure.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-07-29

No less a paper than the
Washington Post insists the
law should stand exactly as it
is unless an honest need for
change can be shown. The
Post says:
The law is not desoructlve Of the
merchant marine, Il does require ad- .
6itionaI precautions. which cost some
money 1t provides that Is per cent
OF the crew shall be able to under
stand the orders given by the officers. /
Is that unreasonable What would
be thought Of a general sending a reg
iment ofsoldiers to protect the people
81 city and permitting an arrange /
ment whereby the soldiers could not
understand the orders Of their chiefs
a ship at sea meets conditions COM
parable TO those Of war and fire.
where instant teamwork is necessary
TO prevent wholesale loss Of life. A
cancrete case Of disaster on account
ot Inability to understand orders was
that OF the steamship City of Rio de
Jaueiro, lost at the entrance Of the
Golden Gate in 1901, The chinese
crew could not understand the orders
OF the American officers.
The Seamen's Act also requires bet
ter provision for life boats and life
rafts. Do the steamship interests oh .
iect 70 this? II so, let them object
The country viii not approve of re.
turn to the old deadly dangers merely
because safety appliances are an eN-
pense to the steamship companies
The public pays the bills in any event
There are reasons for be-
lieving the criticisms made OF
the La Toilette law are not
made with sincerity.
1t has been widely adver-
tised that, on account of the
provisions of the seamen's law,
the Pacific Mail Steamship
will retire from busi-
ness. Philip Manson, general
of the Atlantic Coast
Steamship company, says the
Pacific Mail has no intention of
that there is nothing
in the seamen's law to affect
seriously the profits of the COM
pany; that "even if all the
things they claim the bill will
do to them were true, it would
still permit that company to
operate with what any merch-
ant would consider a satisfac-
tory profit" that G. H. Corse,
head of the Pacific Mail in the
Orient, has advertised in Chi
nese and japanese papers that
the company does not intend
to go out of business; and that
if the company honestly wishes
to sell its interests, he will
find purchaser who will keep
the big steamers under the Am
flag and conform to the
of the seamen's
bill"
When practical shipping
men talk that way while press
fill the newspapers of
the country with dope" con-
demning the seamen's law
there is something dark in the
woodpile somewhere.
In the campaign against
Warsaw the world will see the
best test yet between German
and Russian and it will be in
to watch the outcome. i
Will the kaiser's forces take
the ancient Polish capitol and
thus discredit the car or will
the Germans be thrown back
and themselves dlScredlted?

RECORD HITTING FOR
"z|MMY'S" INDIANS
Bunches of Timely Whiffs With
Joe Chabek Bring Two
Victories in One Day

The Indians willow sticks were busy
yesterday. So was 'watty" Lee and
Joe Chabek. Something happened at
Island Park not recorded since Har-
risburg became an International
League town. "zimmy's" bunch won
two games in row. All in one after
noon. Richmond was the loser; scores,
9 to and 8 to 0.
Chabek was the boy who made yes
terday's twin victory possible. He had
something on the ball that made 1t
invisible when 1t came over the plate.
Only two hits were chalked up by the
Climbers in the second gmae. One of
tho hits was a hard liner that bumped
Chabek on the shins and glanced past
Tooley at second. Not one Richmond
man reached first until the fifth, when
Bates was walked.
In the first game Lee had little
trouble In getting down to form. After
three innings the local southpaw tied
up the Climbers and they could do
little with their sticks. In this game
Richmond had three pitchers at work.
They could not stop the Indians hit
ting stride. Two worked in the sec
ond game, each getting series of
hard bumps.
Harrisburg Was Hitting
Harrisburg's hitting was a feature.

Eddie Zimmerman and Witter hit the

and Tooley gave Kraft hard chase in
the second. Red" Crane and Pick
were the Richmond swatters. Aragon
was the peppery fielding star
In the first game three singles, two
passes and a sacrifice brought two runs
for Richmond in the opening frame.

next one. A double and single scored
the fourth and two singles and an
error the fifth.
Merrisette's wildness brought two
for Harrisburg, aided by one bingle.
Bunches of hits added the others. Rus
sell was wild in the sixth and seventh
innings. Harrisburg's hitting in the

Norman Taber. the former Brown
collegian and Rhodes scholar at Ok
ford, England, has run faster than
any other human being for a distance
of one mile. In the Harvard Stadium
he shattered the worlds record for
this distance by covering it in the re-
markable time of 4 minutes 12 3-5
seconds. The best professional record
up to this time was made by w. G.
George, at Lilliebridge, England, time
minutes 12% seconds.

ner made the amateur record of 4
minutes IA 2-5 seconds at Cambridge,
Mass. in 1913.

September 8, 1891. He is five feet
eight and half inches tall and weighs
slightly under $50 pounds when in
condition. He graduated from Brown

FINAL HOME SERIES
WITH PROVIDENCE
International Leaders Next Attrac-
ton at Island Park; Dave
Shean in Charge

What promises to be the greatest
series of baseball games that Harris
burg fans have had an opportunity to
witness in years will start tomorrow
when the champion Providence club
will open a three-day stand on the
Island. There will be single games
Thursday and Friday and a double
header Saturday. The Providence club
IS under the leadership of Dave Shean,
the former Williamsport second base
man, who later went to the Detroit
Americans and the Boston Nationals.
Much importance centers in the
Providence series. as the members OF
the Harrisburg club feel that If they
can win a majority of the games or the
series from the Grays, as the Provi-
denoe club is known. they will be in
position to put up a great battle for
the championship.
1t seems hardly possible for Harris
burg to realize that it has a club that
stands chance to win the Inter-
national League championship, but
every member of the club is full of the
spirit Of winning and such battles as
are due for the next three days should
be well worth seeing.
Perfect Baseball Machine
The Providence club is referred to
as perfect baseball machine" and
players and managers who have been
here with other clubs have spread the
pitchers for the Providence club are
Joe Oescheger, the California boy who
belongs to the Phillies and gained a
place in the hall of fame by pitching a
no-hit, no-run game against Montreal
a week ago; Cooper, who belongs to
the Detroit Americans; Eayrs, the for
mer University of Pennsylvania star,
who belongs to Detroit; Comstock, an
other Detroit twirler. who has won /
games and lost this season, and
Tcots Schultz. another former Penn
player, who was formerly with the
Phillies when he left college.
Tri-Stater in the Game
The catchers are Casey, formerly
with the Detroit Americans, and Haley,
who belongs to the Boston Americans

club, and at second Shean, who is we'll
known by former Tri-State fans. At
third base McNally. recently secured
from the Boston Americans and said
to possess the best throwing arm in
the International League, is found,
while at short Fabrique, of the Wash
1ngton Americans, is found. In the
outfleld are Shorten. of the Boston
Americans; Powell, of Detroit, and Gill
and Eayrs alternate in right field
Special arrangements are being made
to accommodate the greatest crowd
that has ever witnessed a game at the
Island on Saturday.

BASEBALL WAR END
IS NEXT WINTER PLAN
Federals May Get Recognition
Ahead of American Associa-
ton, Is Present Dope
Special to The TcIegrab

Chicago Ill, July 21.-Plans for the
settlement of the baseball war between
the forces of the organized game and
the Federal League have been agreed
upon. A fw details must be arranged
and they will be added during the win
ter months. But the big stumbling
blocks have been removed and the fol-
lowing decided;
No city will have three teams-the
Whales and the Cubs will be combined
under new ownership, that of Charles
Weeghman.
The Cardinals and the Federal
League team will be combined in
St Louis under the ownership of
Philip Ball and his associates in the
third team. Detroit and Cleveland
will have Federal League teams.
The standing of the Federal League,
which will retain it's name, has not
been definitely agreed upon, but the
chances are that it will outrank the
American Association, and the Inter
ntional League will fall just below the
American and National.
These plans have been under con-
sideration for several weeks and for a
time it seemed that the new alignment
would go into effect at once. But with
the schedules made. 1t was figured this
would be unwise, and so the various
leagues decided to carry out their
planned programs and start along the
above lines next season.
