WASHINGTON, March 14.-Denial
of prospective bitter rivalry between
britain and America for sea and trade
supremacy was made by Chairman
Edward NJ Hurley, o. the shipping
board, and Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Rowe, before the pan-Ameri-
can trade conference here late yes
day.
Rowe, who is IN charge of the GUS
toms divisions OF the treasury, en-
phasized the necessity Of getting a
international trade discussion ON a
fsct basis.
There is no ocean freight rate
war between the United States and
Great Britain" Hurley assented
freight rates so far below ours that
Britain is making alarming inroads
on our shipping The truth is that
the United States shipping board is
reducing American rates just as rapid
" as is logically possible. Again we
are falsely told that Great Britain Is
demobilizing, or rather, readapting
her industries from war manufacture
much swifter than is America. This
is not true. She went through more
than four years Of war and was much
more thoroughly submerged in war

Damages to Owners Of the

Il Was Contradictory Negligence to
Let Him Take the Pilots Wheel
and Steer the Boat in
Dangerous Place.

The Mississippi River Power COM
pany won another lawsuit today.
If a steamboat pilot relinquishes
the wheel to mate who is not a
pilot and the latter steers the boat
upon an obstruction in the Missis-
sippi river, like an island recently
submerged, and the boat sinks, the
owners can not get damages from
whoever submerged the island with
government authority.
That is what Judge Hamilton held
in the district court here In the suit
OF the Steiner Amusement company.
ex rel John W. Watson, against the
company owning and operating the
big Keokuk dam which formed Lake
Keokuk.
There used TO be many island be-
Illinois. and these were submerged by
Lake Keokuk, after the trees on them
had been cut of by order of the war
department. The tugboat Dixie hit a
stump, in 1915, and sank there. The
owners sued the power company, and
the trial was terminated suddenly to-
day after the evidence OF the Dixie s
owners was all in, by the judge taking
the case from the jury and directing
Judgment for the defendant power
company.
Contributory negligence in allowing
the mate, not a pilot, to steer the boat
in what was considered dangerous
place. with full knowledge of the
islands being submerged there. pre-

Dixie's owners, Judge Hamilton held.
