u. S. SHIP RISK
PLANSSTARTED
Three Insurance Syndicates
Arranged for by
Government.
(Public Ledger Service.)

The initial step in the effort to
Tree American shipping interests
from the British marine insurance
monopoly was taken by the Ship
ping Board yesterday in completing
arrangements for the formation of
three insurance syndicates domi-
mated by American capital and
capable of UrGeI writing American
hulls up &c a liability of s2,5O0, 900
on Il single risk. Heretofore it has
been virtually impossible to place
even a $50O,O0C risk with American
companies.
The organization Of the synti-
Gates was decided upon after a Sc
rics of conferences which have
been going on for several months
between Shipping Board officials
and representatives of American in
surance companies. The recent con-
gressional investigation of marine
insurance demonstrated that leading
foreign competitors were using ma
rinr insurance as a Powerful ma
tional weapon while fully two
thirds of all The marine Insurance
originating in the United States was
Inder foreign control.
Two of the newly created sy9ui-
Gates, to be known as "A" and "B,"
and which are open to American
companies only, will be participated
in by fifty American concerns. The
third>syndicate &C." the fifty Amerr-
can companies representing at least
two-thirds of the total underwriting
capacity, will be supplemented by a
number of foreign companies ad-
mitted to assume the remaining one-
third interest. The limited foreign
interest is confined strictly to
American branch offices of alien
companies. which are subject to
American control and which have
for years been operating In con-
formity with American laws and
paying taxes within the United
States,

San Francisco, June 30.-William
Gibbs McAdoo's Presidential boom
has been held up. 1t is too early
for any man to say that 1t is fatally
checked. but its recently irresist-
ible march is definitely arrested.
Nj. McAdoo's managers tonight
concede that they are still a long
way from the 72s votes necessary
to nominate.
They acknowledge that the COM
bined opposition marshals consider
ably more than the one-third of
the convention (364 votes) that
suffices to prevent any candidates
choice. There is no sign as yet
that the white nag is ready to be
hoisted over the "McAdoodle" ram
parts. But confidence in victory is
visibly and materially less than it
was As or "a hours ago. The
friends of President Wilson's SON.
in-law explain that the change in
his convention fortunes is due to
natural causes.
The McAdoo movement was going
forward at suck a pace that at as
quickly solidiGed the combined op-
position of all rivals. By no other
means. the McAdooites say. should
their cause have been slowed up.
They profess faith that the mills of
the San Francisco gods will yet
grind in McAdoo's favor. even
though they grind slow at the
start. They time the fourth ballot
as the stage when the convention
will rcaEze that the McAdoo star
is steadily and surely in the as
cendant.

penses for labor, interest on in

Notwithstanding the increase in popu-

More Employees Needed.
| The board emphasizes the necessity
| for a larger staff of employees with
higher salaries at the Washington
Asylum Hospital. The report states
there are numerous vacancies at the

| cause OF the low compensation.
For several years, the report con
ltinues. there has been little demand
for accommodations at the municipal
lodging house Belief is expressed
that as industrial and social readjust-
ment continues the demand upon this
institution will increase. The number
of men given lodging during the last
