facilities are excellent, Collector OF
Customs Malcolm A. Franklin does
not expect to receive copy OF the re.

asking for information relative to mer.
chant vessel shipbuilding plants here.
The commissioner has written Col
lector of Customs j. o. Davis of San
Francisco for this information, asking
that it be forwarded as soon as pos
sible. He wants to know about new
shipbuilding yards, increased facilities
of yards in operation, reopening Of old
yards, size OF vessels that can be built,
number of such vessels that may be
launched in II months and the in
crease in number of men the new ia
cilities require.

Advices from the coast state that
w. r. Grace & Company have charter
ed the Pacific Mail Panama liner

eral cargo, She arrived from Balboa

steel in Japan being greater than ever
before. rates on this class of freight
have risen from Sc to $50 a ton. Other
classes of freight have also gone up
tremendously. Shipowners are now
receiving for steel what would be

BRITISH YEOMAN
REPAIRS COST.
LARGE SUM

Including wharf and drydock charges
while the vessel is in port, repairs to
the British bark British Yeoman will
cost between $4,000 and $4,000, it
was learned today.
Probably Monday repairs will have
been completed, according to officials
OF the Honolulu Iron Works, Ltd, who
have the contract for the major part
OF the repairing necessary, that OF the
bark's rudder and stern.
Two reinforcing steel plates to give
strength to the broken stern post
have been put on, and a new plate has
also been riveted on the stern. The
stern post plates have been placed one
on the starboard and the other on the
port side of the post.
The bark is in the Inter-Island dry
dock on Allen street, and when re-
pairs are completed will again be. list
ed at Eloyds at 100 A !. She sus-
tanned the damage to her stern in the
recent kona gale at Port Allen, when
she parted all her cables and was
pulled from the rocks in the nick of
time by the lighthouse tender Column
bine, and later towed to Honolulu by
the u. s. navy tug Navajo.

!OHIOANISBEING
| HELDAT HlLO FOR
NEW YORKORDERS

Because no sailing orders have yet
been received here from the New
York offices of the American-Hawai-
ian Steamship Company. the line 5
steamer Ohioan is being held at Hilo
today laden with island sugar but I'M
able to proceed owing to the uncer-
tainty in the sugar shipping negOtia-
tons between the American Hawaiian
and the Sugar Factors.
Down to noon no orders for the
Ohioan had been received at the To-
cal office, so that whether the OhiOan
will be the first American-HaWa iian
steamer to carry sugar from island
ports to the coast, for reshipment to
eastern refineries, or will proceed to
New York via Magellan, is not known.
The Ohioan was ready to sail yester-
day with $500 tons of new sugar
There were rumors around the city
that the American-Hawaiian is plan
ming to raise the rates on its freight
from Seattle here, but the local office
said no confirmation is available
A. M. NOVEL;, secretary of the
Sugar Factors, said at noon: Il have
received no adviees for publication"

that "the proposed plan 20 spend Sill

armor plant is wasteful "a an cXpendi-

Charles ". SchWab. chairman, and
Eugene c. Grace, president, see only
two possible reasons for competition
from Federal ordnance factories first,
that existing private plants have in
sufficient capacity 70 supply the needs
Of the country; or. second, that a
government plant would produce armor
at a lower price.
Neither of these reasons prevails,
the Bethlehem officials contend. The
three existing private armor plants.
which are admittedly efficient, have a
capacity of $4,000 tons a year. The
estimated needs of the navy for the
next five years will call for only $4,000
tons a year

company refers 10 its offer TO manu-
