 TRANSPAC|FIC co.
New $5,ooo,0oo Steamship Line
 Will Fly China's Flag

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 31.-Con- tracts for the financing of $5,0O0,0 900 Chinese-Am transpacific steam shi company have been signed by American and Chinese capitalists who are now negotiating for the purchase of ships, according to an announce- ment made here by Dr. V. K. We'll ington Koo, China's first minister to Mexico, who arrived yesterday on the steamer Persia.
 Dr. Koo declined to name the American bankers behind the new company. but said that virtually all the great banks of China sponsored the plan. He said he understood the steamers of the new line would fly the Chinese flag. Difficulty in buying ships, he said. had caused a delay in starting the service.
 First Fruit Of Visit.
 Tt is the first fruit of the visit of our industrial commissioners to this country several months ago. said Dr. Koo.
 Dr. Roo who is 29 years old and boyish in appearance, was reticent
New Britain herald., 1915-08-31

about China's political compllcatlons' He inuuired what impression was made in America by the report that Dr. Frank J. Goodnow, adviser to Yuan Shi Kai, had advised the presl- dent of China to promulgate con- stitutional monarchy in China.
 Not To Become Monarch.
 "Dr. Goodnow might have made such suggestions he said, but they were only suggestions, if they were made. from the viewpoint of a sclen- tist after study of conditions III China. President Yuan has said re- peatedly that he had no intentions oI becoming a monarch.
 Present conditions in my country are satisfactory. A spirit of national ity fast imbuing the people who are less concerned with the form or gov ernment than" with it's efficiency.
 Open To American Capital.
 "China's resources are open to American capital with little chance of opposition from any foreign govern ment. Feeling against the Japanese in trade relations famed by the recent Japanese demands is subsiding."
 Dr. Roo will remain here a week with a party of Chinese government students from Tsing-Hua College, Pe king, who have been educated from the Boxer indemnity fund, which the United States government returned to China for educational purposes. They will continue their education among sixteen American colleges.
 To Visit Washington.
 MT. Roo said he would not go to Mexico until conditions were more settled, but will proceed from here to New York and Washington. Com plaints from Chinese in Mexico, he said, brought about his appointment.

SHORTB.ALLOTURGED
 BY CHAIRMAN ROOT
Senator DenounCeS BOSSiSm and
 Invisible Government

Albany, N. Y., Aug. 31.-From the floor of the constitutional convention yesterday President Elihu Root de- nounced the system of bossism and invisible government which. he said, to his knowledge, has dominated New York cor forty years and pleaded that the people be armed with the short ballot that they may establish their cWn rule. It is all wrong, he declared that any other rue should exist.
 This domination,' MT. Root de- clared, "has caused a deep and sul- len and .long-continued resentment among the people at being governed by men not of their choosing They demand change. The short ballot plan is resolution, or at least, it may be the first step that will work out a solution
 Refers to Old Home.
 Iherc is plain old house in the hills of Oneida, overlooking the Val ley of the Mohawk, where truth and honor dWelt is my youth. When I go pack, as l am about to go, to spend my declining years, I mean to go with the feeling that I can say I have not failed to speak and to act in accord ance with the lessons that I learnel there from the God of my fathers"
 MT. Root was speaking particular ly in behalf of the short ballot and de- partnlental reorganization proposal. It has had the support of the so-called ''federa! crowd' in the convention but has peer opposed by members of the "old guard.' Among those who have support it are MT. Root, George w. Wickersham, Henry l.. Stimson and Frederick c. Tanner, the republican state chairman. The chief topic of conversation here last night, however, is not what effect MT. Roots speech will have in the state particularly, but nationally, in connection with the presidential race next year.
 Two Different Lines.
 After discussing the proposal spe- officially, MT. Root said in part:
 What is the government of this state: What has it been during the forty years of my acquaintance with it? The government of the constitu- tion? Oh, no; not half the time. or half way. From the days of Fenton and Conkling and Arthur and Cornell, and Platt, from the days of David B. Hill down to the present time the government of the state has presented two ditfernt lines of activity. one of the constitutional and statutory off, cers of the state, and the other of the party leaders-they call them party bosses. They are called the system.
 "F'or, I don't remember how many years, MT. Conkling was the supreme ruler in this state; the governor did not count, legislatures did not count; ptrollers and secretaries of state and what not, did not count Then MT. Platte ruled the state; for high upon twenty years he ruled it. And the capital was not here, it was at 49 Broadway"
 Division of Powers.
 MT. Root then declared that bosses ruled by patronage while effective off, cials sought to appoint men to office who would make good records. swarms of men, he said, who never or seldom work are on the state payroll during legislative sessions due to the system which permits division of power.
 Both parties are alike," he said. s'AlI parties are alike. The system ex- tends through all"

WILSON T0DECIDE
ON FOOD EMBARGO
Step to Be Taken Only II Con.
spiracy to Raise Prices Is
Not Found.

President Wilson and members Of
his Cabinet plan to give considerat tion
this week to the proposed embargo
on foodstuffs to prevent famine
prices in this country. The embargo
will be declared only as a last re-
sort, 1t Is said, and not until Attor-
ney General Gregory determines
whether there has been any illegal
combination to increase prices.
An Immediate effect Of the gow-
ernmental activity was the drop in
wheat prices on the Chicago market.
Wheat closed at $1.41% yesterday,
after selling as low as $40. The
close the day before was $1.45.
Legislation would be required for an
embargo. but 1t is believed that Presi.
dent Wilson would recommend it-and
obtain it-if Attorney General Gregory
determines II is needed.

PROHIBITION FIGHT
vEXES SOME SOLONS
Administration Leaders Make
Charge That Opponents Of
Ship Purchase Are Behind
Delay.

Administration leaders in the Senate
are vexed over the long debate on the
Dietrict bill, and more ESPECIALLY be-
cause Of the injection of the prohibi-
tion issue and the protracted discuss
sion Of that question which nobody
had anticipated.
When. the District bill Is taken up
again tomorrow and the prohibition
issue considered n connection there
with, 1t will be the twelfth calendar
day since the District bill was frst
brought before the Senate. is the
first OF the appropriation bills to be
considered in the upper house.
Some See Filibuster.
The charge is now being made by
A Administration leaders that a clever
but well-deRned movement IL on by
the opponents Of ship purchase to con:
sumo time on appropriation bills and
thus filihuster against the shipping
on tho floor yesterday OF this tenor
and in the Democratic caucus last
night the same view was aired.
Wide differences of opinion developed
in the caucus az to what to do about
ship purchase. Not oil the Senators
were willing to support the pending
Administration bill.
Nevertheless. 1t was decided to make
"A ship purchase bill'' the unfinished
pleted.
This means that appropriations are to
be sidetracked for a time and su-
preme effort made to pass ship pur.
chase bill. It was suggested by several
Senators that ship purchase be held

two weeks. IN an effort to force 1t
through. . L D..
But on the details of the bill there was
such disag reemcnt that another caucus
was arranged for Monday night, and
at that caucus various amendments and
proposed substitutes will be taken up.
Some Of the Democrats oppose Govern
Inent ownership. and others oppose the
corporation feature Of the bill.
Two Are Dissatisfied.
Senators Hardwick and Bankhead are
dissatisfied with the bill. Hardwick
said he opposed Government ownership.
and Bankhead wanted the Government
to eliminate the corporation feature and
acquire vessels for use Of commerce in
time Of peace and the navy In time Of
war.
Senator Simmons said Secretary Nc.
Adoo told him several score Of ships
were available for purchase by the
Government, and that there was no
danger of international friction.
Senator Hoke Smith pleaded for rural
credits legislation, and said an extra
session would be absolutely necessary
II such legislation were not passed this
session. Others wanted other legisla-
ton.
Feeling was pronounced at the end of
the cailcus that the fate Of ship pur-
chase was dubious, and that an extra
session was probable.
