R[JMOR BUSY WITH
ownership OF
BIG Liners

That the liners Mongolia and Man
ehuria OF the Pacific Mail, sold with
other boats of this line to the Allan
tic Transport Company OF West
Virginia last Friday. are by the sale
returning to the steamer corporation
for which they were originally built
as freighters, was the local rumor to-
day.
The Atlantic Transport Company,
according to Acting Director A. p. Tay-
Tor of the Hawaii Promotion Commit
tee. had the big boats built. and while
they we're still on the stocks sold
them to the Pacific Mail, when all
hopes OF ship subsidy were lost.
The boats were remodeled and con.
verted into passenger liners
Although the two boats passed to
the Pacific Mail, it is believed they
are now in reality owned by the z. H.
Hartman estate. Another report has
it that General Manager r. P.
Schwerin OF the Pacific Mail owns
one, and the Hartman estate the
other.

SEAMENS ACT IS
GRLLED BY
:. DOLLAR !.

Among the men firm in opposition
TO the Seamen's Bill is Capt Robert
Dollar, who is well known in Homo
lulu as pioneer shipowner, found
er of the Robert Dollar line, which is
to go under British registry after the
Seamen's Act becomes law.
In recent article appearing in
THE Nations Business" Capt. Dollar
tells why the bill is inevitably sure
to hinder and Cypress the American
merchant marine. His reasons are in
part: NJ r.
The Seamen's Act applies to all
vessels of 100 tons or over. A 100-ton
cargo hooker is placed in the same
category with the 40,000-ton liner car
rying thousands of passengers. This
Is about as sensible as to class a
wheelbarrow with lotion autotruck
or bicycle with a passenger express
train.
when her year has expired on ar
rival at an American port the new law
insists that vessel must be inspect
ed. To be fair she should be permit
ted to go to her home port; all other
nations permit this.
The inspection, furthermore, must
be all done at once. This adds to
the expense since all work of loading
or discharging is stopped while pre-
pairing for and conducting the inspec-
ton. All countries except America
have arranged to have this done in
such way that there is no delay, and
no expense whatever to the ship.
The American steamer Algoa.
manned according to the requirements
of the Seamen's Act with a compile
ment of 40 men, has an. expense of
$32. month. The American steam
er Robert Dollar, now manner under
the Emergency Act, as though she
we're q British ship, with AZ men,,
shows a monthly expense of $1,30S.
The Japanese steamer, Asama Maru,
now under charter to the Robert Dol
lar Company, and manned according
to Japanese law, fully meets the
requirements of the Seamen's law.
The time has certainly arrived for
some constructive legislation In the
last session of congress 16 bills were
introduced to restrict and restrain the
operation of ships, and not a single
bill to aid or assist u.s. We should
have, | believe, a commission of ship
ping men, not politicians, to draft
these laws and to advise congress,
thereby preventing any future blunder
like the Seamen's Act, the only re-
suit Of which is to drive the last
AmericaRIship from the ocean,

Line MAY
TRY TO GIRDLE
WORLD NOW

No further developments in the pas
senger steamer transportation situa-
ton came TO light today
Something new is expected to be an
nouneed this week. according &c c.
Brewer & Company, concerning the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha, which is said
to be contemplating putting on a
round-the-world run, stopping at Ho-
nolulu ON their return to New York
One thing is certain, that the ships
will touch here once month for
bunker coal Whether they will re-
turn to New York via Suez and the
Atlantic, or Panama, is not definitely
decided. "The company hasn't mage
up its mind yet" was the way Brewer
& Company put the situation this
morning.
The Pacific Mails suspension of
sailings from Yokohama and other
Oriental ports after the Mongolia's
arrival in San Francisco October %,
leaves the way open for the N. Y. K,
should that corporation desire to en-
gage more extensively in transpacific
trade.
Prospective freight business will
have a great deal to do with the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha's decision as to
which route to have its ships take on
the return trip to New York. Local
shippers are of the opinion that either
way is about $3.50" as concerns
freight to be secured. War conditions
in the Mediterranean, however. and
reports OF German submarines there 1t
is believed viii discourage the line
from choosing the Suez route, at least
for the present.

.LUSITANIA'S CAPTAIN
 GIVEN DISCRETION
During Voyage of Vessel, Says Chairman of Board of Cunard Line

London, June 16, 12:36 p. m.--The inquiry into the sinking of the steam ship Lusitania was resumed today with the examination of Aired A. Booth. chairman of the board of the Cunard Steamship company. The at torney general. Sir Edward Carson, asked MT. Booth why it was that the Lusitania was economizing by using only nineteen of the twenty-five boil CTS at the time she was torpedoed.
 50 far as submarines are con- cerned, there is no difference between 21 and 24.5 knots" MT. Booth re- piled.
 New Record for Submarine.
 Mr. Carson then asked whether there was any difference between eighteen knots the speed at which the Lusitania was proceeding when at- tackled. and twenty-one knots. MT. Booth replied that no steamer inak- ing more than fourteen knots was known to have been struck by a, tor pedo from a submarine until the Lusi- taria was hit.
 The witness said the Cunard com pany was unable to communicate with the vesael by wireless except through the admiralty and therefore had

Chief William J. Rawlings of the local police force admitted to a Herald reporter in Hartford today that suspicious of being implicated in the murder of Rev. Joseph Zebris and Eva Gilmanaitis on Fepruary were directed against John kacequaraus- kas alias Cook, who was bound over to superior court yesterday for as- saulting Anthony S. Patrauskas of Center street.
 Chief Rawlings was asked whether any action would be taken against Cook or whether he would be, charged as an accomplice to Bernard Montvid, now being tried in superior court for the double murder. 1T don't know. Not that know off, the chief replied.
 It is said that suspicion was di- rected against Cook soon after the murder of the priest and Miss Gill manaitis when articles said to have been once owned by the priest were found in his room.

 No Word During Voyage.
 MT. Booth said he receiv Il no word from Capt Turner during the voy- age. On the morning of the day the Lusitania was torpedoed the Cunard company asked the admiralty to com municate with the ship concerning threats against it.
 Few Steerage Passengers.
 The attorney for survivors asked MT. Booth why he had stated the Lus- tania was being run for reasons of economy, merely to pay expenses The witness said the bookings of first and second class passengers were nearly normal, but that the number of steerage passengers was only one third the normal, which occasioned a loss.
 Donald MacMaster, representing the Canadian government, asked MT Booth whether there had been in stalled on the Lusitania an apparatus for the detection of submarines. The witness responded he had no knowl- edge of any workable device of this sort.
