er the clipper which was the fast
est sailing ship ever built. When
the colonies started the revolution
against Great Britain they had no
navy of fighting ships but all the
ships carried guns in those days to
fight pirates and the colonial govern
ment sent out what were called
'privateers,' owned by people who
were glad to fight for America. Those
privateers played hob with the Brit
ish merchant ships and really made
it possible for the colonists to win
the war by keeping the sea free en-
ough to bring supplies for the war
when the United States became
free, the very first law passed by
congress was one that levied a tax
on goods coming from other coun-
tries but making the tax less If the
goods were brought in American
ships. Other laws encouraged ship
building in this country so that in
about eleven years nine-tenths of our
commerce was carried in our own
ships. And our ships carried goods
for other countries.
"But way back in 1849 Great
Britain got us to let her ships bring
in goods on equal terms with our
own, and in 1858 senators and con-
gressmen from the southern states
induced congress to repeal the laws
that helped American ships by what
were called mail subsidies, and then

PEOPLE PAY S2,OOO,OOO
FOR NEGLIGENCE

Testimony before the war investi-
eating committee of the house is to
the effect that the war department
was responsible for not promptly
salyaging the cargo of the Port
Hunter, which sank off the Massa-
chusetts coast last November. 1t
will be recalled that the vessel was
rammed by tug and sank in shallow
water with her decks scarcely
awash. She had ON board a S5,-
600, 900 cargo of supplies for France,
but although the department at
Washington was promptly notified
no action was taken whatever to
save the stores until over two months
later. Meanwhile the ship had been
visited by the enterprising residents
of Martha's Vineyard and $2,0OO,OOO
worth of her cargo removed and sold,
under the impression that the boat
had been abandoned by the govern
ment. The incident is characters
tic of the gross carelesness with
the peoples money exhibited by Mr..
Bakers department throughout the
war, additional proofs of which are
being unearthed almost every day
in the Investigations of the congress
sional committees.

our people couldn't afford to keep
ships so they sold them and went out
of business. Since then we have
paid other people for carrying our
goods and lots of times when we
wanted to send things to South Am
erica we had to send them to Great
Britain or Germany first, and, be-
cause of the delay and expense, we
could not get our share of the trade.
Just before the European war start
ed, very little of our foreign trade
was carried in our own ships, and
while we were in the European war,
as also when we were in the war with
Spain, we had to depend largely up
on the ships of other nations to take
our soldiers across the ocean and
carry supplies to them. You see,
we were dependent upon other coun-
tries for ships just as you were upon
Fred Strong for a boat, and the 9TH
er countries looked after their own
trade first, just as Fred used his boat
for his own nut-gathering."
But I've often heard papa talk
ing about ships being built in this
country lately remarked Jack.
Yes" replied Uncle Ted, eve have
built lots of them and do hope that
congress will pass some kind of laws
that will make it possible for Am
orleans to regain the place they used
to have as the greatest sailors in the
world"

Lustgarten Convicted
OF Stealing $4,000
President of Defunct Tax Lien
Company Still Under Other
Indictments

William Lustgarten, former president
Of the Tax Lien Company of New
York, was found guilty yesterday of
grand larceny in the first degree by
a jury in General Sessions before
Judge Grain. The prisoner was re-
manded to the Tombs until August 6
for sentence.
Lustgarten was charged with steal
ing $4,000 from Robert Schalkenbach
in March, 1915. 1t was charged he
got the money under pretcnce that it
was part of pool to be used in the
purchase of East Side real estate. 1t
was charged that, instead, Lustgarten
used the money to meet obligations of
his company.
There are other indictments against
Lustgarten in connection with the op-
erations of his company, which failed
when he disappeared in August. 1917
leaving note in which he limited that
he might kill himself. Assistant Dis
trlct Attorney Pecora, who prosecuted
Lustgarten, declared that investors lost
about $8OO,O00 in the collapse of this
company.

enlisted in the United States armv at

~, to France, where he became a cor
poral.

bach is said to have lost $4,000 in
tne TAX hen organization collapse. CAL
vln Iompkins, former dock commits
sloner, and Milo r. Maltbie, one time
city, chamberlain, are also said to have
suffered losses in the failure.

Richardson Construction Co.
Says Concession Has Been
Cancelled After Irrigation
Work Was Ordered Halted

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Protest
against the cancellation of the con-
cession held by the Richardson Con-
struction Company, an American con-
Germ, for the use of the Yaqui River
Tor the irrigation of land it owns in
Sonora Mexico, has been made to Pres
ldent Carranza by the State Depart
ment. Previously the department had
protested against the attempted con-
fiscation of the company's land under
the new Sonora .agrarian law
The department has informed the
Mexican government that the company
purchased its lands under the Mexi-
can law, obtained the right to use the
water from the Yaqui River under
government license and has fulfilled
every legal obligation.
The revolutionary disturbances in
Sonora, it was said, made it impossible
for the company to continue the work
on its irrigation system, and the Mexi-
can government, by official action, an
nounced that the requirements of the
contract of the company would be sus-
pended until the country was pacified.
The company then suspended opera
tlons, and Pastor RouaiX, secretary of

Want Protests Made Public
A resolution by Senator Smith, of

Senate to-day, asks the State Depart

tests have been made by the United
States to Mexico to prevent the con-
fiscation of American owned land in
Mexico under the provisions of the
Sonora agrarian law.
The National Association for the
Protection of American Rights in Mex
leo sent a protest to the State Depart
ment against statements made by
CarranZa in an interview to The As
sociated Press.
The protest follows:
1.-THE statement is the old protesta-
tion of the Carranza government that
confiscation is not intended by the

Two-Cent Transfer
Charge Is Illegal,
Asserts Prosecutor
District Attorney Lewis of
Kings County Believes
Commission HasNoPOwer
to Increase Car Fares

District Attorney Lewis of Kings
County said yesterday after study
of the transit problem, that in his
opinion the two-cent charge for sur
face car transfers is illegal and that
the railway companies can be COM
PEELED to issue free transfers, in accord
ance with the laws regulating rates
and fares. Mr. Lewis said the Public
Service Commission has no power to
Increase fares under the law, it's power
being limited solely to regulate and
reduce"
Mr.. Lewis pointed out that there
are no decisions of the higher courts
on record by which the law has been
interpreted as it applies to Brooklyn
and Manhattan, ano that while it is
true the Appellate Division, Third De-
partment, did decide recently, in the
North Shore Traction case, that the
Public Service Commission had the
right to regulate and increase fares,
the authorities then quoted in no way
bore out such an Interpretation of the
law
ut is notable" said Mr.. Lewis, Chat
none OF the railways in Manhattan and
Brooklyn undertook to act under this
decision. Why?"
Serious Problem Raised
Mr.. Lewis said that the power now
assumed by the Public Service Com
mission to increase the rates over five
cents for a continuous ride within the
limits of the city over lines owned and
operated by given company has raised
a serious problem.
According to Mr.. Lewis the fare over
street surface railways is regulated by
Sections 181 and 1872 of the railroad
law. Section 181, Mr.. Lewis said, pro-
vides:'
"The Legislature ex-
pressly reserves the right to regulate
and reduce the rate of fare on any rail
road constructed or operated wholly or
in part under said chapter or under
provision of this article; and the Pub
lie Service Commission possesses the
same power to be exercised as pre-
scribed in the Public Service Commits
sions' law"
"The power thus delegated to the
Public Service Commission by the
Legislature" Mr.. Lewis said, sis to
be exercised as prescribed in Section
40 of the Public Service Commissions
law, but it is only the power Ito regu-
late and reduce as provided by the
railroad lazy.
10 my mind, the language regulate
and reduce does not give the Public
Service Commission the power to reg
ulate and increase The power of the
Public Service Commission to 'regu-
late can only be exercised after a
hearing and investigation of the facts.
The decision to permit charges for
transfers was rendered almost immc-
dlatcly after the decision of the Court
OF Appeals in the International Rail-
way case. Will the people ever be able
to obtain as speedily from the public
officials intrusted with power re-
duction of fare when the situation
warrants and demands it?"
