SHIPPING BILL OFFERED
BY THE ADMINISTRATION
Measure Before the House Proposes
Corporation, With q. S. Govern
ment Majority Stakeholder.

The administration shipping bill,
combining several previous measures
attempted on ship legislation, was in
troduced in the House today by Repre-
sentative Alexander Of Missouri, chair
man Of the House committee. on mer-
chant marine. It is a distinctly differ
ent measure from the much-debated
ehip-purchase bill of the previous Con-
designed to meet a large part of the
previous opposition. This provides that
the government operation Of the pro-
posed steamer lines shall cease FIVE
years after the close of the present Eu-
ropean war.
The bill is expected to meet less op-
position in the Senate than the previ-
Gus measure.
Minority Report Being Prepared.
A republican minority report is be-
ing prepared for the House. Repre-
sentative Alexander does not know how
the President will regard the conces-
sion to tho opponents of the unlimited
operation feature. but he feels that the
clause is a wise one and will do much
toward assuring a solid democratic
front to the opponents Of the bill.
The bill creates a shipping board.
which has power to handle ocean traf-
fc rates and problems very much as the
interstate commerce commission has
handled the railroad matters.

ing when the four batteries of the

Considerable attention was attract
ed by the troops, who marched in
true soldierly fashion. the streets be-
ing lines with spectators. The men
started their march from Sherwood
Park at 1880 o'clock coming into
Broad Street by way of Hermitage
Road. They continued along Meadow
Street to Monument Avenue. down
that street to Franklin. turning at
Belvidere into Broad Street, and on
to the Colonial Theater. After. the
performance the men marched back

Due to the treatment against ty-
phoid having been given number

f the men in their tents, the whole
command could not accept Major
Worthams hospitality, but they made
very creditable showing.

The fact that, the Louisiana's on
