FEAR BIC FRUIT
LINER IS LOST
Ship With Ninety Three on
Board Has Not Been
Heard From

New Orleans, August 21.-Fears that
the United Fruit liner Marowijne was
lost in the recent West Indian hur-
ricane We're Increased when the steam
ship Sjoa of the same line arrived here
late today and reported that the Miss
ing vessel had not been sighted nor
heard from. The Marowijne left Be-
lie, Honduras, August 10 with % pas
sengers and a crew of 65 men and
should have reached here Monday
night The Sjoa left Belize IL hours
sci and followed practically the same
course usually taken by northbound
fruit steamships.
Captain Johnson of the Sjoa said his
vessel was only a few hours behind
the hurricane. He slowed down his ship
i'll order to escape the fury of the
storm and attempted to put in at CAL
weston but unable to make a landing,
he came to New Orleans.
No WORD came to the United Fruit
company today as to the identity OF
the steamship ashore off the western
coast of Cuba that was thought might
be the Marowijne. At the offices of the
company it was stated no report had
been received from the lines steam
ship Abangarez. which was dispatched
yesterday to the scene of the stranded
Ship. 1t was said at the company's Of
fices that the Abangarez would prob
ably report tomorrow the result of her
investigation.
Belief was expressed in shipping
circles that the greatest hope for safe
ty of the vessel was that Captain Nc
Laurin of the Marowijne had run away
from the storm and beached his shin
somewhere between st. Filipe Gays and
Cape San Antonio on the Cuban coast

clear cut, so decisive as a matter of fact
that there is scarcely doubt but that
nothing will be done to undo that which
in 1907 was accomplished. There is IA
strong impression on the part of ma =
jority of the members of the senate that
the state Is in honor bound to hold invio-
late contract under the terms of which
corporations undertook on a large scale
the development of latent waterpower;
that irrespective of their individual Views
as to whether or not corporation should
be exempted from taxation Alabama
should abide by an agreement into which
it entered four years before power COM
panies were induced to cross the boundary
of the state.
The vote Friday was a test vote. Sin
teen senators voted for exemptions; 10
against OF the nine absentees three
were in. favor of exemptions, and thus
the indications are that when a full
vote is polled the eAemptionists will
win by majority of 10 to 16.
The senate will conclude the cohsid-
GRAFTON of the revenue bill Tuesday, it
is thought. Many of the amendments
attached by the senate committee-110 of
these amendments were attached. as is
remembered--will be stricken; for, as

was compiled by special committt g
after four months of toll, and which
contained the ideas not of one senator,
but of the people of the state inter-
Viewed in person by the members of a
recess committee.
Drastic Provisions Helpless
The bill when completed will go to
the house, and it is anticipated that re-
garding certain amendments, the house
and senate will be unable to agree.
y conference committee consisting of
three members of the house and three
members of the senate will be appointed,
and it is believed that the bill when
reported by this conference committe e
will be in practically all respects iden-
teal with that which the house, some
days ago, sent over to the senate.
1t is the opinion of practically every
member of the Legislature that the bill.
when enacted into law, will contain
nothing affecting exemptions clauses
" Which exist and have existed for years !;
will contain nothing tending to restrict
the governor In appointing members of
the state board of equalization, and will
contain no provision for increasing the
rate of franchise taxation of foreign
and domestic corporations from so cents
to 81 on each $1,000 valuation.
