THE 3IOKJN1JNU- OK12UOJNIAX, TIITJRSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1907. HUMPHREY CRIES FOR SHIP SUBSIDY Imputes Unpatriotic Motives to Democratic Op ponents. HITS BACK AT NEWSPAPERS Seattle Member Arouses Bay State Man With His Insinuations Pre dict Japanese . Dominion Over Pacific Ocean. "WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. Humphrey of Washington held the center of the stage for a considerable time today during the debate In the House on the ship subsidy bill. He had a hot exchange of compli ments, with Sullivan of Massachusetts about the attitude of the Democrats on the Japanese controversy. After saying that the bill was simply an extension of the protective system, he continued: I want to say right here that Hill and Harriamn are not In favor of these bills. The hand of Mr. Harriman is here in this House now and it Is over on the Demo cratic side trying to -defeat these lines be cause Mr. Harriman wants them defeated. The reason Is plain; It Is because Mr. Har riman has said that he would not take ad vantage of this subsidy. He cannot do It because he will have to change his crew, he will have to run on regular schedule and he will have to go to the Philippines. Says Democrats Court Disgrace. He said he would not vote to report any bill that would not provide that the flag shall go to the Philippines. He charged the Democratic party with trying to keep this country from holding communication with the' Philippines. "In order to bring ..disgrace upon our administration of those Islands. They hope to inveigle us into a war with Japan, to make us so weak that Japan will attack us. and then they hope to ride into power over their coun try's disgrace." he said. Sullivan (Mass.) interrupted, saying: '"You have made a very serious charge about this side of the House. I should like to ask you to submit some particle .of evidence upon which that charge Is based, that Harriman's hand is felt on this side of the House. Either prove It or withdraw It." Humphrey reiterated what he had said about Hill and Harriman. Sullivan retorted that. If he had no better evidence on that score than he had glvefl that the Democrats were trying to create a war with Japan, he would be willing to let both statements go to he country. Humphrey responded that he was per fectly willing to let his testimony line up with that of Mr. Sullivan. Only First Installment. Humphrey .said the bill was not ah ideal measure, but a step . in the right direction. He would ltke to see the en actment of a very liberal subsidy bill: he would expend many millions annually in subsidies to American steamship lines apd he .would not stop at a "postal sub vention," but would grant liberal eargo subsidies, such as were proposed in the old Hanna-Payne bill. But Humphrey realized that such things can not be. so he contended himself with the pending bill, on the theory that every little helps. Humphrey declared that the foreign trade of the t'nited States in 1906 approx imated $3,000,000,000, the largest ever done by any nation In the history of the world. The balance was In our favor by $500,000, 000. Of this enormous commerce, only 7 per cent was carried in American ships. He said that $500,000 dollars per day is paid to foreign ships for carrying our commerce: 90 per cent to foreign labor. He said Puget Sound was the only port In the UnUed States where more tonnage is carried in American bottoms than In foreign. Only two American vessels are now engaged In Philippine trade today, they running from Puget Sound. Until recently there were 12 American ships in this trade. Three have gone into the coastwise trade. , As a result, we are not getting our fair share of Oriental trade. . ' Free Ships Xo Solution. He expressed the opinion that free .ships would not solve the problem at tempted to be solved by the subsidy bill. The higher wages paid In America make the cost of building and operating Amer ican ships higher than the' cost of build ing and operating foreign vessels of the same type. He said we must pay the dif ference in labor to the ship-owner or we must reduce the price of labor or we must abandon the field to the foreigner. Discriminating duties, he believed, would not serve the purpose proposed by ship subsidy. Treaties stand In the way. But aside from this he believed discriminat ing duties would be futile. "The only way." said he, "to make discriminating duties effective would be to place a duty on the articles now free. This is utterly impossible." Moreover, he said discrim inating duties, if they could be made ef fective, are wrong in principle. They would discourage imports; the desire of ship subsidy advocates Is to encourage export trade. Subsidy, he said, is the only remedy; it Is subsidy' or nothing. The amerlcan ship-owner must operate high-priced ships, manned with high priced crews, and meet competition of low-priced ships and poorly paid crews. ( Hard on the Newspapers. He said the United States had paid a subsidy of $470,000,000 to rivers and har bors, and was still subsidizing them at the rate of $20,000,000 annually, and yet the bulk of benefit from these improve ments went to foreign steamers. He al luded to the Jamestown Exposition as a subsidy; condemned as a "steal" the sub sidy paid to the Southern Pacific Rail way, and raked the Democrats over the coals for voting for this subsidy each year. He then said: But the greatest subsidy paid in this country, greater than all the rest put to gether, is the subsidy that Is paid to the newspapers, the magazines, the second-class postal matter. Sixty million dollars a year Is the subsidy paid to these publications. The newspapers and magaxlnes receive a subsidy every year that would pay the sub sidies proposed In this bill for 20 years. Of all the newspapers that so viciously oppose this bill, not one has denounced his own steal; not one has refused to take his part of the plunder. These self-righteous publi cations ought at least not to object to the starving shipping interests getting a few crumbs that tall from their overloaded ta bles. I want every person to know that, when he reads a denunciation of this bill. he reads It in a subsidized paper. I want every person to know that. If this bill Is a graft, the newspapers and magazines are the greatest grafters this world ever saw. Humphrey combatted the Idea that it was good policy to let the foreigner carry our commerce if he could do it cheaper than we can. saying: I do not believe that work that ran be done by American labor should be given to foreign labor. Foreign labor is dangerously dear at any price. Even if the foreigner could do our carrying more cheaply. It Is dangerous to place your business in the control of your competitor. Just as soon as he-is master of -the situation, he will In crease the cost of carrying. Japan's Commercial Progress. Turning to Japan. Humphrey declared that nation already dominated the Pacific. He continued: Subsidy has been the matchless word In Japan's matchless progress. To her subsi dized merchant marine more than to any other one thing she owes her present greatness. Every one of her steamships is enormously subsidized. Every ship built in her yards receives, a heavy bounty. While we have been playing the demagogue and coward, Japan has been building ships. Ja pan's commerce has kept pace with the building of ships. The marvelous Increase In the one has exactly measured the growth of the other. Where her ships have gone merchants have followed. Japanese mer chants on the Pacific Coast, in this country receive from Japanese steamship lines re bates and other ad-vantages snfficlent to destroy competition. By this favoritism many American Arms have already been forced out of business. Within the last year Japan has negotiated for the purchase of every nrst-class ship on the Pacific Ocean that carries our flag. The final result of these negotiations will prob ably be determined by the action of the House on this bill. Japan knows that, if she buya our ships, she will not only pos sess them but capture or destroy our mar kets and widen her own trade. If she can secure these vessels, her supremacy on the Pacific la already established. If this bill Is defeated. In two years not a single Ameri can vessel will run to the Orient. The fate of this bill, will be the fate of our flag on the FacMc. SaiUhip Owners' Trust. He then expanded on the statement he recently furnished the President onthe "Sail Ship Owners' International Union," composed of English, German and French ships. This trust, he said, was openly created to raise freight rates from Ameri can ports, and It has been successful, having raised freights on the Pacific -400 per cent. He thinks we are at the mercy of this trust, and on the Pacific must pay tribute to Its greed. Ocean lines on Pacific. He then described in some detail the various American lines on the Pacific, enumerating the tonnage, routes, etc., and explaining the subsidy each would receive under the pending bill. The Pacific Mail would receive a subsidy of !0,oi)0. but to earn the subsidy would be obliged to extend it line to the Philippines and put on several new ships. This line com petes with a Japanese line receiving an annual subsidy of $520,000. The Hill steamers and the steamers of the Boston Steamship Company, running to the Orient from Puget Sound are in direct competition with Japanese ships subsidized at $333,000 annually, and in competition with subsidized lines of other nationalities. The Boston Steamship Com pany has always been operated at a loss. Under the bill it would receive a sub sidy of $420,000 for a fortnightly service to the Philippines. This would require the building of two or more additional steamers. The manager of this com pany has stated that if the bill passes his company will immediately place two and possibly four fast steamers on the Oriental run. The Chinese crews will be largely displaced by Americans if the subsidy Is granted. Unless subsidy is granted, and granted . soon, the Boston Steamship Company will be forced to sell out to Japan. For Roosevelt in 1908. The first indorsement of President Roosevelt for the Republican nomination in on the floor was made tonight by Gronna of North Dakota, who. while opposing the ship subsidy bill, said he was for Roosevelt -for President in 1WS and so was his state, and they would send a. delegation : to the convention to urge his nomination. This statement elic ited applause from the Republicans. 'Kahn of California charged the Demo crats with insincerity, so far as subsidy legislation was concerned, but admitted Individual exceptions. , . Gaines of Tennessee, in closing the de bate against the bill, became involved in a controversy with Kahn and the chair reminded Gaines of the rule governing personalities. TO HIS PARTY HUGH IDS TELLS REPUBLICANS HOW TO AVOID DEFEAT. Must Give Efficient Administration, Make and Enforce Good Laws and End Grafting. ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 27. In the course of a speech at the dinner of the Albany County Republican organ ization tonight. Governor Hughes warned tho Republican party with special reference to New York State. After showing how Republican plural ities In this state had decreased until at the last election the entire Republi can state ticket with one exception was defeated, Mr. Hughes said the Re publican who fails to realize the sig nificance of these figures is paying little attention to the demands of the peoplf: and tho relation of these de mands to party success. It was clearly evident, he declared, that on state is sues the Republican party would be doomed to defeat unless it gave new assurances to the people of its capaci ty to govern In their Interest. He continued : If the Republican party expects to suc ceed in this state, it must support every effort to give efficient administration. ' No man is a friend of the Republican party who asks me or anyone in authority to ap point a man or to retain a man who is not equal to his job. If you want a strong party organization, let it be Insisted on that no man can expect the support of the organization who does not make good. I make no request for personal support. As far a I am personally concerned, my interests lie in a profession to which I should be glad to devote myself. . But I am desirous that the Republican party should take advantage of its opportunities to con vince the people that it can be trusted to meet their demand In furnishing competent administration of every department of Gov ernment and in the enforcement of the laws and in the enactment of the legislation that Is required to protect the people against the misuse of the privileges they have bestowed. Let us p-.it an end to graft and to favors to special Interests; let us afl seek to secure an administration of which all the "people may be proud, and the party which has given the Nation Lincoln, Grant. McKln ley and Roosevelt need not fear defeat. Admitted to Federal Bar." William H. Brooke, of Ontario, Or., was admitted by Judge "Wolverton to practice in the Federal Courts of Ore gon yesterday.

Grove, 84c ATTACK ALTON DEAL (Continued from First Page.) continued to buy Northern Pacific. They felt a moral obligation to offer it to the Union Pacific, but at the same time the firm was willing to keep it. Their opin ion was that a good security was selling at less than Its real value. Xo Cut and Dried Agreement. Mr. Severance pressed for an admission that all these transactions were cut and dried agreements with the Union Pacific Mr. Kahn's manner of denial became quite emphatic. . The witness said that Kuhn, Loeb & Co. took the next $25,000,000 of the issue of $100,000,000 of convertible bonds made by the Union Pacific under an agreement by which the firm was to have the bonds at a discount of 5 per cent. The witness was questioned at length as to the purchases of Northern Pacific stock in 1901 and the practice of his firm in charging commissions. Mr. Severance produced a tabulation showing sales of stocks belonging to the Union Pacific through or to Kuhn, Loeb & Co., amounting to about $70,000,000. The witness said the sales had been made, but not in pursuance of any con tract, there being no specific agreement. Mr. Severance called attention to the circular of December 23, 1903, asking regarding the deposit with his firm of the outstanding Chicago & Alton pre ferred stock. Will Not Give Sellers' Names. In response to questions,1 witness said this action was in a measure initiated by Mr. Harriman, who said it might be wise for Kuhn, Loeb & Co.to get hold of this stock, as there was a proba bility that the Union Pacific might want it. It was with that end in view. Mr. Kahn said, that his firm took steps to acquire cnicago & Alton stock, al though he denied that there was an agreement that the Union Pacific would take It. There were many contingencies hedging in that disposal of stock. As a matter of fact, it was not taken by the Union Pacific until September, 1904. and in the meantime It was offered to any one who wanted it. Mr. Severance asked Mr. Kahn to pro dune a list of the Alton shareholders who sold their stock to the Union Pacific through his house. Mr. Cravath, of coun sel for the witness, objected upon the same grounds put forth previously by Mr. Milburn, and upon the grounds that the witness was a banker. Mr. Severance asked if any of the di rectors of the Union Pacific were owners of the Alton stock sold to the Union Pa cific, and the objection was renewed: The Commission ruled that he must answer. The witness said that Kuhn, Loeb & Co. owned an Insignificant portion of the Alton stock sold to the Union Pacific, but as to the holdings and sales of the clients of his firm, he must regard all the relationship as confidential. The witness denied connection with or knowledge of the sale of Alton bonds to the New York Life Insurance Company. Generous to Union Pacific. Mr. Kahn testified to the amendment of the New York State banking laws in 1900 affecting the Chicago & Alton and regarding several subsequent sales of Alton bonds to the Equitable Life. He said that at the time Jacob Schiff was a director one of oO of the Equitable Company. The witness went over the character and operations of the Laclede Construc tion Company and then into the Alton and Illinois Central transactions. The witness declined to say what portion of 105.000 shares of Illinois Central sold to the Union Pacific belonged to theirectors of the Union Pacific, saying; "I would like to answer the question, but I feel that I should not." Mr. Sever ance contended that the question did not involve the confidential relations of a banker. , The Commission directed the witness to answer and the formal refusal followed. Mr. Severance then turned to the Union Pacific purchase of Illinois Central and Mr. Kahn said that the stock was sold by his firm for 175 when it could have been sold for 179. "May 1 ask," said Mr. Severance, "what inspired this philanthropy?" "Well," answered the wjtness. "prob ably it was our love for the Union Pa cific." and even counsel joined in the laughter. More Benevolence Shown. The witness declined to reply to a question as to the circumstances cov ering the purchase of Illinois Central for Harriman, Rogers, Stillman and another, as to the existence of a pool in Illinois' Central. Mr. Kahn believed his firm could have obtained 200 for the Illinois Central stock sold to the Union raciflc at 175. Mr. Severance twitted him on his benevolence and pressed him to tell how he might have got 200, but the witness declined to reveal the Identity of the parties willing to pay that for control of the Illinois Central. Relating to the purchase by Kuhn, Ioeb & Co. of the Pennsylvania's interest in Baltimore & Ohio, which was later turned over to Union Pacific, Mr. Kahn said they bought it direct as an Invest ment and that its later sale to the Union Pacific was not in pursuance of any agreement. This stock was bought prior to the conversation which Mr. Harriman testified he had at Bar Harbor with. Mr. Cassatt. Explains Alton Deal. Mr. Kahn asked for and obtained per mission to make a general statement as to the Alton deal. "At the time the Alton deal was brought up, the railways of the country had just emerged from bankruptcy." he said, " and their credit was generally bad. In order to induce people to put their money into anything, it was neces sary to hold out Inducements. The method of organization was then to forego dividends, put all possible Into improvements and issue papers that were dependent upon the future for value. I do not think it is fair to compare methods of ten and 30 years ago with those of this time." Commissioner elements desired to know something more about the extent to which Kuhn, Loeb & Co. favored the Union Pacific in Its stock sales. Mr. Kahn gave him approximate figures showing the probable or estimated loss, but explained that they were actuated largely by the fact that it was easier to handle large, compact holdings than it was to use a stock as to increase its market value. Mr. Kahn said that as himself and Mr. Schiff were Union Pacific directors they felt a moral obligation to first offer slocks they acquired to that company. In the case of. the Illinois Central, how ever, there was not even this moral obligation. It was a pure business deal and the fact that they let the Union Pacific have this stock below market value was because of Kuhn. Loeb & Co.'s long and heavy dealings with the Union Pacific interests. All banks, he said had favored customers. FISH ADMITS HE BORROWED But Railroad Wanted Interest on Surplus and Got Security. NEW YORK, Feb. 27. Stuyvesant Fish was asked by the Associated Press today what answer. If any. he cared to make to the accusations which EI H. Harriman preferred yesterday before the Interstate Commerce Commission. "I haver little to say," he replied. "I When the Hair Falls Stop it! And why not?

He and I sustained close relations for many years and were jointly interested In many large affairs. AH of those transactions will bear the closest scrutiny. It was at my instance that Mr. Harriman was made a director of the Illinois Central, and we got along quite well until he became ambitious to make the Certral part of the Union Pa cific system. "I didn't believe this would be In the Interest of the stockholders of the Illi nois Central, and then and there, Mr. Harriman and I parted company. He is quite right in saying that I borrowed funds from the Illinois Central, but he should have added that the loan was made at a time when we were most anxious to put out some of the surplus: that I hunted from bank to bank to loan our money; that this particular loan was made on collateral which was un questionably ample and marketable, that several of the other directors bor rowed money from the company In the same way; and finally Mr. Harriman him self, while a director, had borrowed from the company In precisely the same man ner frequently and In sums aggregating several millions of dollars. As a matter of business, I did not then regard It as improper, nor do I now. When in the Fall of 1903 I desired to repay the debt I proposed to negotiate a new loan ,from Kuhn. Loeb & Co. Mr. Harriman asked me not to do so and offered to lend me the sum, and I accepted his offer made voluntarily. "Respecting the deposits with the Trust Company of the Republic, it should be said that this institution was one of the many of the New York trust companies with which we carried accounts: that the sums In deposit fluctuated with the gen eral conditions of our very large. business and that there was no 'parting' of ac counts by me. The deposit was never in danger. I was a trustee of tho trust company, but never an officer. "Concerning the acquisition of the In dianapolis & St. Louis Railway, It is necessary to refer to the records of the Illinois Central Company, which show that my action was fully and thorough ly approved by the directors."

The company's books, the inspectors say, show that $60,000 has been secured in the last- four months from the sale of stock at 40 cents a share. The promoters were taken before United States Commissioner Hinsdale and furnished $6000 bonds each for appearance at 10 o'clock Friday morn ing for a preliminary hearing. The company's property is located eight miles northwest-of Silver City. N. M. The company was incorporated last November with 30,000.000 shares of the par value of $1 each. The original Incorporators were R. C. Hunt, of Denver, and William E. Wlllson, of Boulder. The original board of directors consisted of R. C. Hunt, W. B. Cameron, Arthur, l.evan, William B. Willson and Charles Dubois. Hunt was elected president, Cameron vice-president, Levan secretary and treasurer and Lee Dubois superintendent. Dubois is the son of the man from whom the property was purchased. The company represented in its adver tising that the entrance to the old work ings of the mine was inadequate for mod ern methods of mining and hat money was needed to drive shafts and tunnels to tap the veins. The inspectors claim to have found that the so-called "old work ings," which were said to be miles In length, are only a natural cave of Irregu lar shape and the piles of ore said to be visible could not be found. One of the circulars mailed by the com pany to prospective purchasers of stock purported to be an Associated Press dis patch telling of the alleged re-discovery of the lost mine, which had been original ly found by a Spanish grandee who was killed 10 years later by Indians after he had taken much gold ' out of the mine. Officers of the company have declared in affidavits furnished by them to the in spectors that an error was made by the printer who set up this article for a min ing company and that they did not in tend to represent that it was an Asso ciated Press dispatch.
