committee on the pollution of waters in
and about New York Bay and sewage
disros
Commissioner Hubert said he thought
the Appleby bill as it stands is too dras-
tic. He told the committee while he
favored some method of keeping fuel oil
off the beaches. where it interfered with
the pleasure of bathers and destroyed
the fish industry. oil and waste disposal
was an economic necessity, and the best
results could be accomplished by work.

The United States Mail Steamship
Company was launched with a paper
capitalization OF 100000 but with no
working funds, according to testimony
given yesterday by Stuart II. Mcintosh,
former treasurer OF the company, which
is now in receivers hands. Mr. Nc
Intosh resumed the stand before John
b. Johnston. special master in the pro-
ceedings brought by a committee of
creditors to determine the extent and
location OF any assets the company
may possess.
For o. time after organization of the
United States Mail, Mr. Mcintosh said.
the France and Canada Steamship
Company. OF which he was also an
officer, paid the bills, although no loan
was made so far as he could recall
He said that he knew of "a check for
100000 given to the United States Mail
by the France and Canada for 1900
shares OF stock, but 1t had never been
cashed. he thought.
This transaction, according to the
testimony, was more than balanced by
a credit of $4,000 given the France
and Canada by the United States Mail
In return for services rendered at the
time of organizing the Mail. This also.
Mr.. Mcintosh said, had never heen paid.
He identified records of pay ment to the

dlcated that the owner OF the vessel
Jesse Lewis OF Gloucester. Mass. had
lost his ship through violation OF treaty
provisions and was not entitled to an
award OF the sS.037.96 which he claimed
the tribunal urged upon the British and
canadian Government IAN allowance as
an act Of grace to the said Jesse Lewis,
whose means of livelihood had been lost

fravention of the treaty of 1871 between
the United States and Great Britain

foundland Banks
Other decisions handed down by the
claims tribunal were those in the case
OF the British steamship Newchang
which was in collision with the United

1902. off the southern mouth of the
Yangtse River, and three British sealing
ships. the Kate, Favorite and Wanderer
which were seized by American revenue
cutters on charges OF Illegal seal fishing
IN Behring Sea.
in the matter Of the steamship New
chang the claims tribunal awarded the
sum of f3.176. payable to the British
Government, in favor Of the China Nav
| igation Company, Ltd, owners of the
steamship. The awards in the other
cases follow. The Kate, $50S.05, with
