DIFFERENTIAL IS AVOIDED Rail and Ocean Kates Combined So That AH Territory Has Same Chance. In spite of the advance in rail freight rates, which is to be made effective August 26. Pacific coast ports will continue in a position o.f equal competition with ports of the Atlantic and gulf coasts in' the handling of overland Imports and ex ports, it was learned here yesterday through a wire received by W. D. Skinner, traffic manager of the S. P. & S. railway, from J. G. W'oodworth, vice-president, in charge of traffic of the Northern Pacific railway. Mr. Woodworth's telegram read terselv: "Export rates are being re vised on basis of new rates via New York. Hope to have tariff ready for filing to take effect August 26. or few days thereafter." Rate to Coast Inllorm. Interpreted in the light of railroad practices, this message means that instead of being increased 33 1-3 per cent on all lines, as was at first pro- nosed, the rates will be so modified that freieht originating anywhere in this country, destined for a foreign port, will be laid down at that port at practically the same cost for trans portation whether it is shipped through a port on the Pacific, At lantic or gulf coast. In pointing out that this order of yesterday amounts to the salvation of Pacific coast commerce, George Powell president of the Oregon Pacific company, used the rates on Pittsburg steel as an illustration of the work ing of the new rates. Differential Is Avoided. Steel originating in the Pittsburg district is now delivered at Kobe, Japan, at a tronsportation cost of J23.26 per ton of 2000 pounds by way of New York, and at a cost of $23.55 per ton via Portland. The transpor tation cost via New York is the sum of 15.40 rail rate and fl7.8Si ocean rate. Shipped from Pittsburg to Kobe via Portland, the steel is charged $12 rail rate, $11.25 ocean tate and 30 . cents terminal rate. The import and export rail rates are determined as follows: The rail rate from a given point in the east is added to the ocean rate from Atlan tic or Gulf ports to trans-Pacific des tinations. From this total Is sub tracted the ocean rate from Pacific ports. This gives the basis of the rail rate, which must be established from the eastern United States to Pa cific ports In order to move tonnage , through these ports. Ha.l a flat in crease of 33-1-3 per cent, as was con templated, been made effective, the rail rate on steel from Pittsburg to r.ew York would hivo risen from $5.40 to S7.56, while the rate from Pittsburg to Portland rose from $12 to $16. Ocean freights remaining un changed it would have cost $2.13- per ton more to ship steel from Pittsburg to Kobe through Portland than through New York. The opinion of local shippers and freight forwarders is that such a differential would have absolutely stopped the movement of transcontinental export freight through Pacific ports. The telegram from Mr. W'oodworth also gives assurance that import freights also will be revised on the same basis. Thus, freight originating in the far east and bound for the Atlantic coast will still be able to move through a Pacific port at about the - same total transposition cost as through a port on the Atlantic or gulf coast. Had not suja a provision been made, it is believed that the - new rail rates would have acted as a barrier to the In-transit freight from the far east, which now consti tutes a large proportion of cargoes arriving here from across the Pacific Pacific Coast Shipping Xotes.

Interests of the inner harbor are requesting that money should be spent for the construc tion of wharves, which will be used by private steamship companies. r PORT TOWNEEXD, Wash., Aug. 12. (Special.) The big steel steamer Trader arrived from New York via Havana, Bal boa and. Vancouver and will inaugurate the Isthmian coast-to-coast service. After discharging some freight at Van couver, she came to Puget sound to dis charge freight consigned to Seattle, after whfoh she will load part cargo for At lantic ports. She will be followed here during the present month by the new steamers Steel Worker and Steel Engineer. The company has the Steel Voyager and Steel Seafarer listed to reach Puget sound in September. In addition to this Bervice the company has arranged for direct service between Puget sound and the United Kingdom. This latter service will be Inaugurated by the steamer Steel Worker. The schooner William Bowden was towed to an offing from her perilous position at the mouth of the Quillayute river by a passing power boat and the life-saving steamer Snohomish returned to Neah bay this morning. The Bowden has a cargo of copra for discharging at Seattle. She will probably pass in at Cape Flattery Friday. i!BILL WILL FOSTER FLEET, SAYS JONES Senator Denounces Delay Naming New Board. in POLITICS HALTS ACTION Water Power Measure, Army Act, Rail Act, Civil Service Measure Pointed To as Party Record.

United States Senator Wesley Lu Jones, speaking before the YouTig Men's Republican club at a luncheon gathering- today, declared that mer chant marine legislation enacted by the last congress will restore Ameri can fleets to commerce if its provis ions are carried out. Senator Jones denounced the delay in appointing' the new shipping board of seven members and told the young republicans he had been informed no appointment might.be made until aft er the elections. Pointing out the republican con gressional record, Senator Jones laid j special emphasis upon the new water power bill, army reorganization act, I railroad act, civil service retirement I act, women's suffrage amendment' and the law to enforce the provisions of the eighteenth constitutional amendment, or national prohibition. The prohibition law enforcement act. Senator Jones emphasized, was passed over executive disapproval. Senator 22 Years. Discussing his own campaign, Sen ator Jones called attention to his 22 years' service in both branches of congress and cited the fact that he is now chairman of the committee on commerce, third on the appropria tions committee and second irrigation and territories, never before attained by a Pacific coast senator. In the event a majority of the party wish to displace him with a new republican, Senator Jones said he would cheer fully acquiesce, but he would not tamely submit to the nomination of "any man who, denouncing repub licanism, uses the repuolican banner to secure a nomination and election to carry out principles that are not repuolican. It would be better to elect a good democrat than such kind. Senator Jones insisted. ' During the course of hts speech Senator Jones said, in part: Iefemite Aeed Slnriue. "Merchant marine legislation was passed by the last congress that would be the basis of development and maintenance of an adequate mer chant marine. Such a merchant ma rine we must have for our- commer cial growth and our national defense. It is not a perfect measure. "it is framed, however, solefy in our interest and to aid our shipping. Ev ery feature of it. is believed to be wise. If experience shows any pro vision not to be wise, it will be changed, supplemented or repealed. "Some claim section 2 will be in jurious to our section of the country, Others just as wise, just as devoted to the interests of this section and just as patriotic feel just as strongly that section 29 will be of special ben efit to us. Our competitors want It repealed. That should commend it to us. ltdoes to me. This section will be administered by American agencies that will see to it that American in terests will be fully protected. Experience Will Show. "Experience, and experience alone, can show what.it will do. By that I will abide. Under its influence, with the many other provisions in the bill, 1 confidently believe that an American merchant marine construct ed in American yards, manned by American seamen, carrying American products and flying the American flag, will take the place it ought to have on the Pacific and the seas of the world. "X want to emphasize one line of proof of democratic incapacity. The marine act was approved June 5. It provided for a Toard of seven. Upon this board really depends the success of the act, and the development of our merchant marine. It has not yet been approved. It will be a national calamity If this board is not approved soon. It has been hinted that it would not be approved till after elec tion. This would be a blunder little short of a crime. . This course has been the policy of this administration however, with reference to the other important board created by congress. came In also for a great deal of criticism. The Queen arrived Wednesday morn, ing from San Francisco with consider able freight and. after 'loading, sailed in the afternoon. The Admiral Good rich, with a full cargo of vaper for San Francisco, is due tonight to dis charge. After loading freight about the sound, the motorship Santa Flavia arrived here Wednesday to pick up more cargo and was expected to sail tonight for west coast ports. The motrship Coolcha is due Thurs day morning from Port Blakeley to load lumber for west coast porta. It is not thought that she will be here over two days. The West Togus, operated by the Pacific Steamship company and now down-sound, is -expected the latter part of the week to load flour here. Captain Archie McKay has suc ceeded Captain Theodore Anderson as port superintendent of the Struth ers & Dixon line on Puget sound. Captain Anderson will engage in busi ness in Alaska for the time being. Captain McKay is an old-time Alaska navigator. The big Norwegian motorship Berg Iund is expected here shortly to load flour for Europe. The Berglund, which is a larger vessel than the George Washington, which loaded several months ago at the flour mill, will take about 4000 tons of cargo from Tacoma.

Ship Board Counsel Says Cargo Is ' Assured V. S. Vessels. SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 12. (Spe cial.) The American merchant marine law, framed by Senator Jones of Washington, has "teeth." This is the message brought here by H. A. Dean, general counsel for the shipping board. Dean is' in Seattle to settle shipping board claims and tonfer with shippers on merchant marine problems. The Jones bill, he said, "provides that American ships will get cargoes i in foreign ports on equal terms with foreign vessels, or -foreign vessels will get no cargoes in American ports. 'If American ships are excluded from foreign rate-making conferences,. ships of companies in such confer- nces will be excluded from American ports. I am surprised that there is so much local criticism of section 28 of the Jones law, which grants a pref- rential rate on goods shipped in American vessels. The law has given us the right to build and sell ships and establish trade routes. In other words, it gives the merchant marine of America the op portunity to succeed." There shortly will be American ves sels in every port, he said, to carry cargoes. Wireless Telephones Installed. HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 12. (Spe cial.)
