vessels of more than 5000 tons under
construction or under contract. and
the total tonnage under construction
is 1851.
Our shipyards ever had so much
work on hand as they have toIav.
The reason is obvious. Freight rates
were probably never higher or ocean
carriage more profitable. So long as
the war lasts such conditions will
continue. Private capital is willing to
risk poor earnings after the war for
the sake of the tempting earnings in
sight.
1t is hard to see therefore, how the
government can bring about a mater.
ial increase in tonnage for emergency
use by itself entering the field as an
owner and carrier. It's orders for
ships would go on the waiting list. dis
placing there the orders of private
operators. When the governments
contracts were filled we should not
have any more tonnage available than
would have been turned out under or
binary economic pressure. The gov
ernment's decision to enter this field
would in itself alarm shipowners and
shipbuilders and would check the re.
markable rejuyenescence which the
American merchant marine is now
undergoing.
The shipowners and shipbuilders
can safely be left to their own devices
while the war lasts. When il is over
some government assistance will bsi
needed to hold the great gains made
by our carrying trade. Sharp foreign
competition will then be encountered
again, and it will be prudent to sus-
tain our Ocean-going shipping in the
manner in which most of the great
maritime nations have built up their
merchant marines. Fostering legisla-
tiOn, subventions, subsidies-these
are the natural stimulants to maritime
growth. Their cost. too. would be far
less than that of any wild venture in
State ownership, making the govern
ment the devouring rival of private in
terests which it is conspicuously to its
advantage to utilize and sustain.

the ladies, and which by the way,
were equally admired by the men. This
is certainly novelty in the way of a
musical comedy for local vaudeville de-
votees. Pretty gowns in musical
comedy have been seen here before, but
the idea of making the costume on the
living figure during the action of the
piece is entirely new. The gowns are
all beauties and they are draped and
pinned here and there, forming a
gorgeous gown. One is made before
the audience is through admiring the
previous one, and all during the gown
making process there is any amount of
good comedy and good singing. The
staging is delightful and the playlet is
as novel as it is entertaining. A de-
lightful comedy with dashes of pathos
entitled Twenty Odd Years" is
splendidly enacted by Harry Beresforl
and company, and is of much import
anee on this bill also. The playlet> is
quantity domestic in theme and beauti-
fully staged. Some splendid comedy
turns, and as many of clever variety.
round out bill of unusual excellence
and one that is deserving of capacity

CHICAGO MAYOR INSINCERE
Women Suffrage Leaders Say Harrison
Disregarded Their Cause

An interesting side light on the de-
feat of Mayor Harrison by the women
voters at the Chicago primaries was
furnished here to-day by Miss Harriet
Nittum, a prominent suffragist and So
eial worker of Chicago. Miss Vittum,
who came east recently for conference
with the suffrage leaders of New York,
New Jersey and PENNSYLVANIA, said
that none Of the newspaper dispatches
from Chicago had given VIVA, sue ton
sldered to be the real reason for Mayor
Harrison's defeat.
In the first place, she said, ''the
| newspaper reports have all tended TO
create the impression that the women
of Chicago voted against a man VINO

fragist. As matter of fact. at heart
Carter Harrison is neither. To be sure,
he espOused suffrage as soon as il was
adopted IN Illinois. but the great ma

always fel, that he did il as a matter

steps that have won him in certain
quarters the title OF reformer. Nor
was ne willing to appoint police women
TO protect the morals of young girls
IN the Chicago dance halls until the suf-
fragists of the city forced the issue
upon him. The result is. that the wo-
men of Chicago have never considered
him either a sincere reformer or IA
sincere suff7agist, and the primaries
this year gave them their first oppor
tunity to register their Judgment upon
him. They seized it by defeating him. p
In conclusion, Miss Vittum said that
some interesting news concerning tine
political situation in Chicago may be
expected soon. She intimated that the
women voters there are not entirely
satisfied with the regular party candi-
dates for the mayoralty, and that they
may put up an independent candidate.

IMPORTANT RULING made
ON Shipments OF LIQUOR
U. S. Supreme Court Holds That Laws
of States Prohibiting Such Con-

Federal Constitution
By associated Press.

Washington, March 2.-The Kir-
meyer liquor case, one of first impor-
tance to the prohibition laws of Kan
sas, was decided in the United States
Supreme Court yesterday against the
State.
1t was alleged that after receivers
had been appointed to oust various
wholesale liquor dealers from doinr
business in Leavenworth, Kan, NJ.
Kirmeyer went across the river into
Missouri, established warehouse there
and continued to deliver beer in Kans-
as The Kansas Supreme Court held
that his removal was a mere device to
evade the Kansas liquor law and that
the trade was not interstate commerce
. in good faith"
The United States Supreme Court yes
terday held that Kirmeyer was entitled,
under a previous decision of the court,
to protection for his trade as inter-
state commerce and dismissed an in
junction issued by the Kansas Supreme
Court.
Justice McReynolds stated in the
opinion that the Kirmeyer case arose
before the passage of the Webb. KENYON

dry territory and that neither its con-
struction nor application was involved
or would be passed upon. Advocates
of the Webb-Kenyon law claim that
measure would apply to such cases now.
Justice McReynolds said decisions
of the Supreme Court precluded further
discussion of the following facts:
:" Beer is recognized article of COM
merce. The right to send it from one
State to another, and the act of doing
so, are interstate commerce, the regula-
tion whereof has been committed to
Congress; and State law which denies
such right or substantially interferes
with or hampers the same is in con-
fiict with the Constitution Of the Unit
ed States. transportation is not COM
plete until delivery to the consignee or
the expiration of a reasonable time
therefor and prior thereto the provi-
sions of the Wilson act of 1890 have
no application.

whether the Webb-Kenyon law was ef-
fective to change those propositions
