TMvorce of the construction and re
pair division of the emergency fleet
-corporation from the division of op
erations and the appointment of F.
B. Pape, former assistant manager
of the steel ship construction divi
sion, as head of the new construction
ind repair division for this district
were made effective as of April 1,
according: to word brought back from
San Francisco by C. D. Kennedy,
agent of the operations division, and
F. B. Pape, who returned Sunday from
a conference at the bay-city attended
by fleet corporation agent and
teamship operators from all ports
of this coast.
As results of the decision reached
at San Francisco, Fred F. Smith, for
merly chief inspector for the repairs
division, which was a part of the di
vision of operations, is now port su
perintendent of the operations di
vision, working under Mr. Kennedy.
Mr. Kennedy is to be known hence
forth as district age'nt for the opera
tions division. He will receive his
instructions from H. H. Ebey at San
Francisco, formerly assistant direc
tor of operations, and henceforth to
be known as Pacific coast director
of operations.
Datlt-a Are t nnnared.
The chief change affecting F. B.
Tape is that he is to take over the
duties formerly performed by Mr.
fcmith.
The principal purpose of the con
ference at San Francisco, according
to Mr. Kennedy, was to formulate an
Interpretation of the new operating
agreement under which private ship
ping firms are to operate shipping
board vessels. Several important
clauses of the new agreement are
worded ambiguously, and it was
hoped by calling the principal ship
ping men of the coast together to
reach an understanding as to the
meaning of. each part of the agree
ment. None was reached, however,
and the matter has been referred to
Washington for further enlighten
ment. It is clearly understood, however,
that the remuneration of the operator
la to be based on the net returns of
the vessel, and that in order to make
money on each shipping board ves- I
sel under his management, an opera
tor must ehow a profit from the op
erations of the vessel. Under the old
contract, practically all responsibility
was assumed by the emergency fleet
corporation, and the operator's com
mission was the same whether the
yessel was run at a profit or loss.
Ships are to be sent around from
the Atlantic coast to the Pacific, ac
cording to Mr. Kennedy, until the
needs of all ship operators on this
coast are filled. The most urgent
need of vessels here at the present
time is for the movement of flour
for the grain corporation, and at the
San Francisco conference it was rec
commended that four steamers be
assigned for April loading on the
Columbia river and Puget sound.
Allocation Rest With Board.
Final allocation of these vessels
rests with the shipping board at
Washington, but it is expected that
the board will be governed by the
recommendations from the Pacific
coast agents of the operations divi
sion, and that these four vessels will
be assigned, some of them for Port
land loading and some to load on the
Sound.
Air. Kennedy also reported that a
fourth large steel steamer had been
recommended for the Columbia-Pacific
Shipping company's North China
line. Those already assigned for this
line are the steamer The Angeles,
now loading at the Inman Poulsen
mill, and the steamers West Navaria
and West Keats, eoon to come from
Los Angeles.
After the movement of ships from
the Atlantic to the Pacific is under
way, Mr. Kennedy estimates that six
vessels a month will be thus made
available for loading on this coast.
Some of these will bring coal and
others general cargo from the ports
of New Tork, Philadelphia and Balti
more.
5 o'clock this mornlnar frvn San Francisco

bringing a cargo of 3700 tons of copper
and sliver ore from Coquimbo and other
west coast ports, arrived here yesterday
afternoon. The steamer had a stormy
pannage up the coast and came in with
two blades off her propeller. The vessel
will finish discharging here the latter part
of the week and then will go uown-sound
to load lumber for Cuba. Captain Hanson
is an old-time Pacific coast navigator and
formerly commanded the tanker Oleum.
The Lake Frenchtown, reported as ar
riving in San Francisco, was looked for
here as the vessel has a part cargo of
lumber awaiting her. It was thought by
mtllmen that she was coming direct here
from Honolulu.
The Hyades got away yesterday after
noon for Honolulu with general freight
from here and the Admiral Farragut -was
due to arrive . here yesterday afternoon,
but on account of delay on the trip up the
coast will not come to Tacoma this trip.

A total of 400 casks of "wet goods" for
consumption was unloaded at the Mil
waukee docks from the steamer Africa
Marti of the O. S. K. line today under
seal, for re-assignment to a'vessel to Van
couver, B. C., from which point it will be
sent to the consignee at Toronto. Custom
house offices kept a close check on the
casks as they were removed and placed
under lock and key, the only satisfaction
apparent being the aroma from a few
broken bottles.
The Africa Maru arrived in port last
night to unload her complete cargo here,
including the shipments billed to Van
couver, B. C, which totaled 775 tons.
Under command of Captain Yamanoto, the
Africa Maru, the largest of the O. S. K.
line vessels, with the exception of the
Arabia Maru, a sister ship, made the trip
from Japan in 14 days, fighting a strong
gale, heavy sea and snow and hail. The
ship brought a total. of 438:! tons of cargo
and 718 tons of bulk oil, besides the Van
couver, B. C. cargo.
The unloading of the bulk cocoanut oil
began at noon today, following the heat
ing, and was pumped direct from the huge
freighter into tank cars alongside. The
Africa will clear on April 14 from Tacoma
with a complete carge of 10,000 tons loaded
here.
Officers of the steamship Africa Mara
said that the first new vessel to be com
pleted by the O. S. K. and assigned to
Tacoma-orlental service will be the Ala

Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio,
candidate for the republican presi

an unmistakable understanding of the

Closing Is Strong, but Bulls Are at

Talk of Indictments.
CHICAGO. April 8. Violent fluctuations

gained lVc to lc and provisions 23c

Bulls in the corn market had the ad

Blagen stated that the construction of
the various industrial plants on the
site acquired by the company is con

obstruction of the channel by Jetties,

the water of the yillamette into the

Toll Exclusion Proposed.
The schedule, which provided for an
Increase of approximately 26 per cent
over the rates paid last year, was adopted
oy members of the union at a Sunday
conference with a vote of 326 to 210. The
new scale fixes the rates on salmon caught
at the several Alaskan fishing grounds and
provides for 9-O0 "run money" for all
points except Karluk, to which the rate
is to be $27X
The Pacific company's steamship Cur-
acoa. Captain Fred Brooks, was due to
arrive from Corin-to early this morning,
but owing to the strong headwinds and
S4a did not get into port until tonight.
The vessel brought a fair list of passen
gers and general cargo. The number of
vessels engaged in the lower coast busi
ness has been increased during the past
six months and as a result of the com
petition the business between the Central
American ports and this city is increasing.
The Oceanic steamship Ventura, Cap
tain J. H. Dawson, arrived from Sydney
via Pago Pago and Honolulu today with
a record number of passengers and ca
pacity general cargo. There were 210
travelers in the first cabins and 21 ' in
the steerage.
Captain Harry C. Houdlette will go out
i commander of the shipping board
steamer Las Vegas, which recently allo
cated by the government to the local con
cern. Houdlette was in command of the
Nockum when that -vessel went to the
Atlantic and was captain of the West Lak
up to - the time he was called home.
Houdlette Is like the other navigators of
the Pacific. He went to the Atlantic and
commanded ships when he was needed
badly by the government, but now that ths
excitement of dodging submarines is over
he is eager to be nearer home.
The Las vergas win loaa snoruy ror
Australia.
The Union company's steamship Tofua,
Captain William, which was due to ar
rive from Sydney via Papeete at noon to
day, failed to arrive before dark to
night. It was supposed that the delay
was due to heavy weather from the north
west which has been responsible for num
erous delays during me past iew aays.
