A resolution calling for the ap pointment of the regular standing Is largely to determine the future trend of shipbuilding in this country. The Sol G. Simpson is carrying a large quantity of steel plates from Taeoma to Shelton for ene standard Ull company to use in building another oil tank there. In view of the big increase in the price of fuel oil In the past few years, steam ship and tug men are watching with un usual Interest an experiment tbat is to be tried on Puget sound with pulverized Washington coal as a marine fuel. The Carey Davis Tug & Barge company will .equip the tug Chehalls with the appliance and try out the idea in actual service. The fuel can be taken from the screening pile that surrounds all mines and Is now waste. It Is pulverized as fine as flour and blown under the boilers by a fan. It burns like gas. The idea has been used on land, but has not been employed heretofore In ma rine work. If It proves a success the steamboat men declare it will cut tho fuel bill at least in half. As the price of fuel oil has been raised until it is four times as high as It was a few years ago. the owners of ships and tugs are eager to find a substitute. SKATTLB, Wash., May 28. (Special.)

The reasons for the submission of this measure by the legislature to the voters, are substantially as follows: "After the measure submitted to the Toters of tho state as a whole, author izing the acquisition of the dock prop erties by the Port of Portland and the consolidation of the two commissions, had been defeated at the November election in the state at large, al though it had received the approval of a majority of the voters of Mu't nomah county, and after the charter amendment had carried in the citv of f-omana at tne same election, a move ment was Immediately commenced to secure from the legislature authority for the consolidation, and the com mittee of 15, a committee of II rep resenting the Portland Chamber ot Commerce, the Port of Portland com mission, and the dock commission, held numerous conferences for the purpose of determining the precise form In which such legislation should be requested. legislature Selection Agreed On. "When finally a programme was unanimously agreed upon, one of the questions which had caused consid erable discussion was whether in future the commissioners of the Port of Portland, either with or without eonsolidation, should be elected by the legislature as heretofore or be ap pointed by the governor. The prevail ing opinion was in favor of selection by the legislature, partly to avoid legal complication as to taxation and be cause generally tho recommendations of the Multnomah delegation Jn the legislature, who are directly elected by the people from the district which fays the taxes for the support of the Tort of Portland, are followed by the legislature, while the governors have In recent years been from other sec tions of the state. "It was, therefore, agreed that the legislature should leave the election of future commissioners to that body, but submit to the people of the port district the question of whether or not the commissioners shall hereafter ke elected by the legislature or ap pointed by the governor.

Talk of -the possibility of a rate war between intercoastal steamship lines and the railroads, resulting from the ac tion of the rail carriers In proposing a 20 per cent reduction in freight rates on cer tain commodities, is idle gossip, accord ing to steamship men. . In the first place, it was pointed out today, the reductions proposed by the rail roads are not general and only affect cer tain itema. Most of the commodities upon which the roads propose to reduce pres ent rates compose the major portion of the freight now being carried by steamers The shipping men point out that the roads are only seeking to share in the carrying of some of -these commodities by reducing their present rates. Delayed by repairs to her machinery, the China Mall liner Nile was held in this port uAtil 4 o'clock thia afternoon.

"Dagmar, 1919." This Inscription, the signature of the ex-dowager empress of Russia, cut in the glass of a window of the Danish motorship Fionia, now lying at municipal terminal No. 2, teiis a story of the downfall of a royal family and of the occupation of the luxurious cabins of this vessel by this and other royal families of Europe. Without a passenger aboard, the Fionia Is now here as a tramp freighter, discharging a shipment of glass from Belgium and preparing to load a parcel of flour for the return voyage to kurope. The Fionia is still subject to the call of the king of Denmark, and at his bidding she will at any time take him. members of the royal family, or any guest of the king's, to any port tho ruler may designate. While the Danish royal family is staying at home she is operating with the rest of the motorships of the Danish East Asiatic fleet in a tramp service be tween Scandinavia and the Pacific coast. Empress Is Positive. The glass In which Is carved the signature of the ex-dowager empress forms one of the front windows not forward ports, but front windows of the royal suite on the motorship. When she signed her name there. Dagmar, a fugitive from Russia, whence she had escaped on a gun boat, was traveling from London to Copenhagen to visit hei sister, the other of the present king. Christian X of Denmark. Dagmar was the mother of the ex-Czar Nicholas and i aunt of King Christian X. The Fionia, according to her offi cers, is the finest vessel iiying a Scandinavian flag and is unquestion ably the most expensively constructed and lavishly furnished craft that has ever entered this harbor. Royal Suite Included. Her passenger accommodations were designed especially to carry the Danish royal family and guests of the crowned heads. Tho royal suite, which contains six compartments, occupies a deck by itself. On a still higher deck are the captain's quar ters and the chart room and the deck below the royal suite houses luxuri ous accommodations for 45 other first-class passengers. Each of these common state rooms contains a pri vate bath en suite, with hot and cold salt and fresh water, a writing desk, a settee and other conveniences, and comforts, such as disappearing beds, full-longth mirrors, flood lights and a clothes closet. Decks of Teak W ood. The decks of the Fionia are of solid teak wood, scoured to an immaculate whiteness. The main diningr hall, which is used only when royal pas sengers are aboard, is furnished in Danish birch, upholstered in light blue. The walls are enameled white and a gold-plated electrolier in the domed ceiling bathes the room in a generous light, which Is reflected from crystal prisms and mirrors all about the hall. Draperies are of heavy brocaded silk. Potted palms stand on either side of the entrance to the saloon. In the entrance hall, and through out the passenger quarters, radiators are topped with onyx. The entire ship is steam heated. A music room off the main dining hall is finished and furnished in the same style as the saloon itself, but a smoking room which adjoins the entrance hall, is finished in mahogany and upholstered in leather. Speed Is Thirteen Knots. Twin Diesel engines . drive the Fionia at a speed of 13 knots. All her auxiliary machinery, such as pumps and cargo hoists, is driven by electricity from enormous storage batteries. The mission of the yacht-like mo torship to Portland was to deliver 500 tons of window glass to W. P. Fuller & Co. The shipment was brought from Antwerp, Belgium. Since her arrival here a'few hundred tons of flour for Europe have been booked by her agents, Balfour, Guth rie & Co. Lumber to line her holds will be taken aboard today before she departs for Seattle, where she will load practically a full cargo of wheat The Fionia is seven years old and is owned by the Danish East Asiatic company. She has been operated principally in the trade between Scandinavia and the orient and East Indies. She is commanded by Cap tain A. Topp. K. List is first officer sages by radio. This service will start June 1, and according to McCaughey, is expected to effect a great saving in expense as well as time for the government. Ship Reports by Radio.
