DENIES JASON RUSHED
Navy Says None of Her Cargo
Was Left Behind,

Washington. Feb. 27.-Acting Secre-
tsry Roosevelt to-day put a qulctus on
the rumor that the United States col
lier Jason had taken a hurried de
parture from Bristol, England. for New
York. leaving a portion Of her cargo OF
exhibits for the Panama-Pacihc Expo
sition on the wharf.
"Not only did the Jason not leave
cargo behind, but she is bringing
three thousand tons more tran our
original plans" said Mr. Roosevelt.
This fact was reflected in the answer
70 our cable message to her commander
IN which we asked him how much coal
accommodation the vessel would have
remaining on her arrival in the United
States. We were informed that for her
trip from the Atlantic Coast around to
San Francisco she could accommodate
only five thousand tons, where we had
cxpected TO transport eight thousand
tons. She did not leave Bristol under
hurry up orders"

Holding Company Shares

OGDEN MILLS, AS
DIRECTOR, TESTlFlES
President on Stand Ridicules
Impression That System IS a
Physical Wreck.

Washington. Feb. 27.-Investigation
Of the Rock Island Railroad by the
Interstate Commerce Commission ended
to-day with the testimony of President
Henry L. Nudge, Ogden Mills, d.
rector. and other officers Of the road.
Commissioner Clements criticized the
company several times when witnesses
complained about increased cost OF
maintenance and operation while rates
were reduced. Second story issues
was the way he characterized the two
holding companies dependent on the
Rock Island. whose securities are now
practically worthless.
you would hardly consider IT far
for this commission to FIX rates TO en-
able the railroad to pay dividends on
second story stock issues through
holding companies, would YOU Judge
Clements inquired of John J. Qainlan,
president Of the New Jersey Holding
Company
Don't you think that the financing
as disclosed in this investigation has
something to do with the condition or
the Rock island" The Commissioner
asked at another juncture in the hear
inr. Again he said when reference was
made to the public's reluctance to IN

went on the stand TO deny the state
mcnt that he was fiscal agent for the
Rock Island. He took advantage OF the
occasion to declare with vehemence
that Wall Street bankers were not

the country.

From 1904 to 1912 he handled SlIO.-

these transactions was only Sl'43e,-
74O %. or little over eight-tenths of |
per cent. He didn't want to disclose
his transactions since 1912, he said,
because some of mis- friends might think
he was not good banker.
MIR. Mills. the first witness to-day,
took up much of the morning session.
lie became a Rock Island director in
1897 and a New Jersey Holding Com
pany director in 1902, when 1t was or

in the New York Central, Erie and
Southern Pacific railroads, the Pacific
Mail Company and numerous banking
institutions. This statement led to a
query by Commissioner Clements
whether having so many irons in the
fire" didn't prevent a director giving
sufficient attention to each one. Mr..
Mills said he thought that was pos

SEAMEN'S BILL in
WILSON'S HANDS
Senate Follows House and
Accepts Conference
Report.
From The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, Feb. 27.-Another rob-
lem involving the Citations OF the
United States with foreign nations was
presented TO the President to-day for
approval in the guise OF the seamen's
bill, the conference report on which
was accepted by the Senate following
its adoption by the House.
The act is intended TO improve the
lot OF seamen and to provide for the
safety OF passengers at sea. To accom-
plish this il lays down rules which, 1t
IS asserted by its opponents, conflict
with nearly every commercial treaty
the United States has gotiated with
foreign nations and ..brogates various
provisions in these treaties.
The report was forthcoming from the
White House tonight that the Presi-
dent will not approve the seamen's
bill, on tho ground that it is radical
encroachment on the rights of foreign
nations and the privileges accorded
them by treaties Of commerce in the
ports of the United States. The fact
that the bill provides for the arrest in
American ports of masters of vessels
who are complying in every respect
with the laws of their own country and
forces other nations 10 modify their
shipping laws if they wish TO continue
to trade with the United States is said
10 be the occasion for the President
disapproval.
The bill, according to Senator Root,
calls on the President 20 terminate by
notice clauses in treaties of amity and
commerce with some thirty nations.
That" added the Senator from New
York, "is very serious matter. II is
a proper way 10 bring about the re-
suit we desire, but it is very serious
matter at any time 20 terminate these
treaties with friendly nations in that
way. We have a good many very Sc
riOus questions now pending with
other nations, questions which require
the most careful management. Some
of them may prove psrilous. In the
midst of this grave sittation. with the
questions involving our relations in a
most serious way with many of the
greatest nations of the world, the
President is suddenly compelled by
this law in ninety days TO terminate
the publications in whole series Of
treaties. The bill, think, goes further
in the attempts 10 control foreign ves-
sells than il is either expedient or law
full for US 10 go"
