Big U. S. Ship Arrives

American Lines Lack Of Affilia.
ton With German Interests
Blamed for Slump

The big American Line steamship
Minnekahda, with de luxe steerage ac-
commodations for 400 passengers, ar
rived here yesterday from Hamburg
with only 105 travellers. A slump in
the westbound passenger business and
the fact that the American line is not
affiliated with any of the old North
German Llovd or Hamburg American
shipping interests was considered to
be the cause of the vessels small pas
senger complement.
The steamship Tuloa, of the United
Fruit Line, arrived Yesterday from the
Isthmus and West Indian ports, with
146 passengers, most cf them being
tourists taken aboard when the vessel
called at Havana.
Another vessel in yesterday from
Southern waters was theEolus, of the
Munson Line, which carried 1875 pas
sengers. Among the saloon passengers
were Robert F. Barrett, Louis X.
Nichols, William J. Shrewsbury, Lloyd
w. Barry and Mark R. Lamb. Mr.,
Lamb said that Hugo SHINES, the Ger
man financier, had sent group Of
drillers and engineers into Brazil and
was testing out the oil lands with a
view of taking over oil concessions on
lands north of Rio de Janiero.

Britain Losing Trade Grip
Business Conditions Influenced
by Coal Deadlock

Trade and industrial conditions in
the United Kingdom, from May / to
June 10, are discussed in report
issued by the United States Shipping
Board yesterday.
Summarizing these conditions the
coal stoppage is reflected in the shrink
age of import and export figures for
April and to fuller degree in those
Tor May. General business conditions
are completely influenced by the coal
deadlock.
Issues of new capital in May ex-
eseeded April totals. although less than
haif the capital issued in May was des-
uned for use in the British Isles.
Many industries are being sorced to
replace coal by oil. and one or two i'm
poreant concerns have signifed their
intention of burning oil permanently.
Coal exports in May dwindled to al
most nothing and the iron and steel
INDUSTRY is virtually at standstill,
while foreign countries are wrestling

Hays and Party to See
New Mail Idea To-day

Postmaster General Will H. Hays
and party, consisting Of several mem
bers of Congress, will arrive here this
morning from Washington to witness
the Inauguration of the improved mail
service to be installed with the arrival
of the first steamship of the day from
foreign or domestic port.
By this innovation the handling of
mails from abroad and from coastwise
cities will be expedited from "a to
SO hourss
The Postmaster General and guests
will board the President, one of the
boats assigned to meet all mail carry
ing vessels at Quarantine, at Pier SO
at the foot of West Forty-third Street
at 1890 a. m.
Under the new system the New York
Central Railroad will operate special
mail boats to which the incoming mail
will be transferred as soon as vessels
reach Quarantine and rushed to the
New York Postof1ice and outgoing
trains. Under the old schedule the
mail frequently was held up until the
boat had locked and the passengers had
landed.

Shipping Trade Turns
From Coal to Grain
Coastwise Business Il Declared
No Longer Profitable TO
Vessel Owners

shipewners have turned their atten-
ton away from coal chartering to a
greaF extent and are devoting them
selves to the grain trade, according to
q general report Just issued by A. H.
Bull & Co., 40 Wall Street
"As far as exporters of coal were
concerned says the statement, "the
chartering market in New York con-
tinued dull Few fixtures were re-
ported and even inquiries were some
what scarce The outlook for the
future appears uncertain. While some
exporters hold the opinion that bust
ness will revive with the coming of
fall, others fear that America will not
be able to meet foreign competition in
the way of prices.
"Coastwise trading to-day is not
profitable trade for most shipowners
Competition is extremely keen for car
goes and rates have been figured down
to the last penny in order TO secure
business. accordingly there are few I'M
placed orders"

Oil Waste Called
Menace to Shore
Resorts Near CITY
Congress Urged to Prevent
Ships Ejecting Infiamrna-
bic Refuse Into Bay; Pol
luton, Fire Peril Shown

Representative citizens OF the state
and city sent a memorandum to the
United States Senate and House of
representatives yesterday requesting
Legislative protection against the pollu-
ton of Long Island and New Jersey
coast resorts by coal tar and oil wastes,
which has recently increased to an
alarming degree.
1t is set forth by the Interstate Com
mittee on Prevention of Pollution of
Coast Waters and Beaches, headed by
DR.. Royal S. Copeland, Commissioner
of Health, that not only are the beaches
befouled and bathing, boating and fish
ing made impossible, but that the
spread of the evil to this barber is
causing great anxiety among local off,
Gals because of the serious danger to
shipping through fire.
The committee asserts that the guam
titles of oil and tar recently thrown
upon the shores of local coast resorts
have been larger than ever, causing
great financial loss to these commune
ties. The pollution extends many miles
out to sea and is affecting the southern
shores of Long Island and the greater
part of the New Jersey coast. 1t is
said to be due to the custom of return
ing tankers and oil burning craft eject
ing oil waste, tar residue and water
ballast either in or before making port
and the discharge of similar products
from asphalt plants, oil refneries and
gas works located on the shore of the
harbor or it's tributaries.
While there are some federal statutes
covering the matter says the commit
tee, these merely relate to the harbor
and are inadequatcly enforced because
of the insufficient means at the dis
posal Of the United States Supervisor
of New York Harbor.
The committee demands that the law
should be amended so as to deny clear
ance papers to all tankers and oil
burning craft unless they prove to the
satisfaction of the shipping authorities
that the entire process of cleaning out
oil and water ballast has been con-
Quoted in such manner that no tar or
oil waste shall have entered the waters
of the harbor or it's tributaries. AIDE
quate funds should be provided, the
committee adds, to maintain an extern
sive patrol of the harbor and of the
tar and oil waste area of the open sea:
The committee, of which David
M. Neuberger is secretary, has offices
at 1854 Nassau Street.

1860 Immigrants Come
I'm With August LIST
Two Ships Outside Smile Area
Since Friday Arrive at Mid
Night: Others ON Way

Almost on the stroke of midnight last
night the steamships Megalli Hellas and
Calabria from Piraeus, Greece, and
Palermo, Italy, came within the three
mile limit of the United States coast.
They had been held outside that area
since Friday night because they carried
immigrants who, under the new immi-
grafton law, would not be permitted to
land in July, as the quota for their
nationality had been filled for the
month.
The Megalli Hellas carried 1870 Amer
lean citizens as passengers and the Cal
abria had ten on board. These citizens
sent urgent messages ashore asking
that they be taken off the ship. but they
were forced to remain within three
miles of their destination until August
showed UP on the calendar.
Another ship that was sighted off Fire
Island last night was the Cedric from
Liverpool and Queenstown. She also
carried a number of immigrants who
would not be permitted to land in July,
and was believed to have Intentionally
delayed her arrival by slow sailing
rather than join the other two vessels
at their waiting place. The iceland
from Antwerp, due last night, is thought
to have slowed up for the same reason.
There were 900 immigrants CT the
Megalli Hellas and 400 on the Calabria.
Nationalities represented included
Greek, Armenian, Italian, Turkish, Rus
sian, Bulgarian, Roumanian, Moorish,
Algerian, Syrian and Egyptian.
