SHIPPING CONTROVERSY
BECOMES MORE ACUTE
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, May 27.-Chairman
Denman of the shipping board, re-
plying to Major General Goethals
declaration that the boards program
entrusted to Goethals was hopeless.
asserted that to committees Of Con-
gress and not at a public dinner with
head of the steel trust was the place
for the discussion matters of policy
with regard to ship building. Den
man referred to General Goethals'
speech at the dinner in New York
Friday night, and said the shipping
board was concerned only with the
German submarine campaign and no
person or group Of capitalists could
draw the board into the controversy
with Cocktails.
Denman, answering Goethals re-
marks regarding the wooden shin.
said, if all steel ships could be built
in the next eighteen months were re-
built, there would still be need of a
thousand wooden ships to cope with
the submarines.

Much Work and Mani
Problems Yet Confront
the Lawmakers.
PRIMARY BILL UP
AS SPECIAL ORDER
Already Talk of Extra Ses-
sion If Legislation is Not
All Completed.
Tallahassee Bureau.
Pensacola journal

u w.
Tallahassee. May 27-With the
opening of the final week of the 1917
session of the legislature. much work
ana many problems confront both
branches Of the body. A calendar of
about eighty pages is before the
house, filled with local measures. and
some of general Importance. In the
senate the calendar has only %
pages, though some of the measures
are of great Importance.
The upper branch convenes ton7or-
row morning at $50, with the vim
airy election bill set as special or
der for 9:I3. Work on this bill is
nearly complete, but as it is a substi-
tute for the house bill, it will have
to 60 back to the lower branch for
concurrence 1t is predicted that it
Will not meet with entire approval
and it is feared that valuable time
may be lost in adjusting the disagree
ment, should it occur.
To Consider Tax Bills.
At eleven o'clock the tax bills hv
the senate committee on finance and
taxation, are set for special order. and
will no doubt occupy much time
They are duplicates of the bills in
troduced in the house, both COM
mlttecs agreeing before introducing

the house bills will be substituted.
thereby gaining much time. for thpv
VIII then not have to be returned to
the house for concurrence.
Another matter of importance
which is ahead of both branches for
this week, if anything is to be done
at this session, is the question Of Re
apportiOning the state, as urged in a
special message by the governor. The
matter is practically dead in the
house, and unless the senate passes
a bill and sends it to the house, there
is little chance Of legislation ON this
subject.
Extra Session Rumored.
1t is currently rumored that if the
legislature fails to act on this mat
ter in regular session, the Governor
will call an extra session to enact the
necessary legislation 1t is a matter
on which he is PLACING much stress.
and the special session is not consid-
cred improbable.
AS to the bill itself, it is the same
as outlined before by YOUR CORES
rondent, giving DuvaL FilIsboro and
Escambia three representatives and
eight counties, two each, and the rest
one each. 1t will decrease tho NUM-
Der of representatives from SEVENTY
five as at resent, to 6S as required
by the constitution. The discrepancy
exists because Of the fact that under
the constitution, each newly created
county is allowed at least one repre-
sentative, regardless Of the numeri-
cal strength Of the house Of repres-
entatives at the time. With the Gre
alton of several new counties by the
1915 legislature, the number has
gradually grown until there are
seven more than the constitution pre-
scribes, though paradoxical as it APP
pears. it was done in accordance with
the provisions Of the constitution.
