portation with Alaska was told to-
day at a hearing of the United
States Maritime Commission, on
increases of freight rates, by Law
renee Boyle, Seattle attorney and
Executive Vice-President of the AL
aska Steamship Company. He was
the principal witness as The Alaska
Steamship Company prepared to de-
fend the rate increases
Boyle declared trade between AL
aska and the States is largely seas
enable but the Alaska Steamship
Company must maintain a large
fleet of vessels to handle particu
larly large cargoes during some
months whereas other months
about half the fleet is tied up in
Seattle"

by John A. Russell. examiner for
the Maritime Commission.
Representatives of the Seattle and
Tacoma Chambers of Commerce are
also attending the hearing
Rate increases on the Seattle
Alaska Route are now in effect and
the hearing is to determine wheth-
er the higher rates will continue to
prevail.
Boyle asserted that navigation in
Alaska waters is particularly diff
cult but his company must maintain
a competent personnel at all times
even though such help is not need
ed at all times.
Boyle also tie S titled that the
principal routes are we'll marked
but those to the outposts it is a
question of plotting rather than
navigation as regards sailings in
Alaskan waters"

the amount of working capital re-
quired by the Alaska Steamship
Company. Boyle said the company

PHILADELPHIA HAS TAUGHT
REPUBLICANS YOU CANNOT
5TREAMLINE PARTY PLANK

The trouble with platform Is
that no matter who gets in, us
got to fit. When it comes to broad
outlines, there might not be SO
much difference between a TAFT
and a Vandenberg or Hoover
But when you start considering a
gang busting young district .attor-
ney and director of utility en-
pires who changed party banners
only few years ago, you have to
go in for language Juggling in the
grand manner. That goes for any
partys convention where the can
didates are numerous. You can pull
a candidate out of any hat in the
ring, but if he can't wear the party
fedora. he's going to the polls
bare-headed. And you can't get
into the White House, you know,
without q topper.
The idea is to make the party
hat fit everybody and that's how
come the Landon-Hyde stream
lining plans went astray Instead
OF having the platform ready and
waiting, they were a little over
day late and held up the bal
loting for hours You can't pick
a man until there's something foi
him to stand on that's a con-
yention rule.

ATTORNEY MINOR
 IS UNABLE TO PAY
Files Motion in Superior Court to Have State Pay
 for Printing

A motion asking that the state pay his proportionate share of the cost of printing the conspiracy trial record was filed in superior court today on behalf of Attorney Henry w. Minor, former chairman of the police and fire boards. Similar motions have been filed by four others found guilty in the conspiracy case and a hearing on them wil be held by Judge Ernest A. Inglis at Hartford next Tuesday.
 It is pointed ont in the motion that the trial transcript contains more han 2.O0O. 900 words and fills i9 large volumes. The printing cost Is estimated at more than $l0,000. The motion states that Minor is Iil- able to pay his share of the cost and asks that the state pay his portion. The application is brought through the law firm of Stoddard, Persky and Egan.
 The state supreme court of erors ruled recently that typewriter copies of the record will not suffice and that the transcript must be printed. Similar motions to have the state pay for the printing cost. have been filed by Charles s. O'Connor, former corporation counsel, Phillip Coppetc, George H. Kingsley. and John ". Meany.

ments will not be re-exported to Germany. The third is to estab- fish contraband control in the Pa cific, imposing a new and severe task on the British navy.
 Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, in stern speech in parliament yesterday taking neutral countries to task for their attitude on the contraband control, said the navy was able to enforce the block ade in full and that the decision to do so rested not with the admiralty but with the war cabinet. This was interpreted as a suggestion that Ii the government wanted to close the leaks" in contraband control, the navy was ready to do 1t.
 These "leaks" were becoming more of a concern in the war of economies and the tabloid Daily Mirror, taking up the subject in an editorial this morning, said, "the other day Ronald Cross was allowed to boast that the blockade is tight and right all around, except for the export of German products to the United States, except for an open door through Italy, except for im- partial generosity to American pig business sending to Russia or through Russia to Germany, or through Spain or Holland or Bel gium, to Germany. Neutrals must not be annoyed. Above all. big business in the United States must never be impededs Better . leaky blockade and therefore . longer war, than 8 cross neutral.
 It was pointed out that while the

plan of rationing exports to Russia or obtaining agreements from neu- trals not to re-ship to Germany would be cheaper and easier, par liamentary leaders were losing pa- tience with both ideas and the threat of a Pacific blockade was coming to the fore. Two questions have been tabled in parliament asking Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain to define his attitude towards concessions to neutral countries which would authorize them to re-export to Germany.
 Gross was asked last night why no approach had been made to the United States to get assurance that shipments to Vladivostok were not for re-shipment to Germany. He replied that such shipments were not subject to contraband control He also was asked if he was aware that in the past four months oi 1889, as compared with the last fouI months of 1888, United States ex- ports to 13 uropean countries, Italy Russia, the four Balkans. three Scandinavians, Belgium, Holland Hungary and Switzerland had ariser from $14O,OOO,O00 to $2O8O00, 900 while in the same period United States exports to Britain and Franc! increased only from $240. 900. 900 tl $268, 900 900. He replied that ther' was no reason to suspect any se' rious leakages so far as European countries were concerned.
