speoiaI Despatch TO THE New YoRK Herald

Washington. ~. u, Lee. so'
Washington is rapidly becoming the
haven of lawyers. for the most part one
time members of the Senate and House
or officers of the Government, who have
lost or resigned their jobs. They crave
not only the atmosphere of the capital
but a share in the $90,000.000 worth
of claims pending now against the Gov
ernment
It has just been announced thar
Willard Salisbury, one time Senator
from Delaware. has come to Washing
ton to open up a law office. Within the
last few days the talk has been that
Joseph p. Tumulty viii begin the prac-
tice of law in washington at the close
Of the present Administration. Among
others recently established in Washing
ton are T. 4. Ansberry, former member
OF the House from Ohio. and Joseph w.
Folk, late Governor of Missouri and az
terward Solicitor of the State Depart
ment. These are just few of the names
of those who have hung out the law
shingle in Washington within a com.
paratively brief time. Others Will fol-
low soon after March 4.
There are stories afloat of enormous
fees that these lawyers have earned in
Washington representing clients who
look on them as capable Of giving excep-
tional service through n knowledge OF
exact conditions and wide acquaintance.
The stories have attracted other lawyers
to the field, so that to-day Washington
is housing more attorneys at law of
more or less prominence than almost
any other city in the country.
Because of the increased Govern
mental activity attributed to the war
there has been an enormous increase in
the law business in the capital There
are innumerable cases before the Treas
ury Department on tax matters; there
are many cases before the Federal Trade
Commission and similar agencies. and
on top of it all has come the settlement
Of hundreds of claims against the Gov
ernment on army and navy contra cts.
These are said to total about 10000
600. and they represent the balance
alleged to be due on contracts made at
the time of the war for equipment and
other material

II stands to reason that consulting

company to recommend repairs to a ves-
sci, supervise the awarding of the con-
tract and certify to the proper perform
ance of repair work, would, IL connected
through stock ownership in a marine re-
pair enterprise or subsidiary concern, be
disposed to favor that company whose

FOREIGNERS IN JOBS
sRed Tickets Emergency of
War, Blamed for Unemploy-
ment of Shippers and Mates.
BIG DECLINE IN EXPORTS
Indifference Of American Con
suls Is Charged-Better
Conditions Expected.

World trade conditions. the decline of
American exports. which fell off approx
imately S66. 100000 in November, have
created what shipping men declare is an
almost unprecedented condition. In the
port OF New York alone maritime organ
izations report there probably are 800
sailing masters without ships and almost
as many more mates, engineers and
other licensed officers. 1t is not that
the lure of the sea is any less keen, for
the scores of shippers who are to be
found lounging around the rooms of the
Neptune Association or the Masters,
Mates and Pilots Association would
gladly clear their lungs of tobacco
smoke for a turn on the bridge If they
could find an owner with vacant berth.
During the war tonnage of the mer-
chant marine increased by milliors, and
because 1t was necessary to obtain mas
ters for the additional tonnage available
tickets were issued to many men of for
eign birth. None was issued to citizens
of enemy countries. but great numbers
were issued to British. Scandinavian and
Italian shippers. These were to be re-
called at the conclusion of the war. but
because the United States still is techni-
oally in a state of war these so-called
red tickets are legal and valid, although
certain owners have discontinued rec
ognizing them.

BIames U. s. ConsuIs.

Masters of American vessels ara
often compelled to search for return
cargoes without assistance, and in n
more or less blind manner. while Brit
ish ships entering the same ports are
slowed and depart at once without a
hltch. When British vessel arrives in
port the captains call upon the British
consul VINO has shipping solicitors at
work to inform the skipper of various
places where return cargoes can he Oh
tanned. The American captain calling
upon the consul Is often treated with
contempt and instead of obtaining as
sistance his work is often made harder.
The captain of a liner--one of the
recent German vessels-put into a port
IN the Far East where he found there
was no anchorage available Going TO
the American vice-consul, whom he
found seated with his feet on his desk
and cigarette in his mouth. the can
tain requested that berth be secured
for his vessel at once.
with the utmost Indifference. the
vice-consul got up and hanging his cane
over his arm, started for the door with
the remark that he could do nothing
about 1t. 1t was then o'clock in the
afternoon, and, needless to say, this old

officials of the International Mercan-
tile Marine and other ship owners. con-
flrmed the report of unusual numbers
of qualified shippers and mates out of
employment In New York and other
ports They look, however. for an early
betterment of conditions. With the un-
settled exchange situation and n railing
market foreign customers of tile United
States are not buying. This situation,
shippers say, must be met and adjusted
IL for no other reason than that foreign
countries need American products and
are anxious to again enter our market.
When through some sort of international
agreement trade balances are adjusted
and the exchange situation restored to
something like normalcy, exports will
increase enormously and instead of a
surplus of sailormen there may be a
shortage.

this week to greater extent than
at any time this season, and the
various events, including the put
ting, tournamentl on Tuesday, the

The most important event of the

Mountain House will be the country
fair, to be held on Wednesday for the

The arrival at Cragsmoor Inn, last
week, Of the Prince and Princess Can

added to the social activities there.
A romance of the Shawangunks re-
suited in the marriage this week at
Cragsmoor of Walter Le Mar, Of
Philadelphia, president of the Fidelity
Mutual Life Insurance Company, and
Miss Estelle Mair, of Germantown, Pa.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. Father Odell, of Cragsmoor,
assisted by the Rev. DR.. Lee, of Phila-
delphia, with Miss Helen Mair, of
Philadelphia, acting as maid of honor.

the scenes where their courtship had
been spent during several summer
vacations and was followed by a re-
ception and wedding breakfast at the
Inn.

lheater, which Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick k

LONG BRANCH, July 24.-Most of
the stock which will take part in the
twcntyseventh annual exhibit of the
Monmouth County Horse Show Asso-
citation next Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday is now in the stables at Holly
wood Park. Many of the horses en-
tered in the saddle events were taken
to Freehold to-day to participate in the

night. The proceeds of the show were
donated to the local lodge Of Elks.
Reade was arrested on charge Of
