PUGET SOUND GIVES
DATA Oil SHIPPING
Federal Commission Holds
Hearing at Seattle. -
INTERESTS ARE DIVIDED
Portland, With United Front, Is
Said to Have Presented More
Convincing Argument. -
PUGET SOUND BUREAU, SEAT
TLE, Wash., July 12. Puget Sound's
presentation of tacts and opinions
for the information of the United
States shipping board commiss'on
was made in one day, v the formal
hearing opening at 10 o'clock this
morning and adjourning at 4 this
afternoon with two hours off for
lunch. Tomorrow Commissfoners
Chamberlain, Benson and Lissner
will make an inspection tour of the
Seattle waterfront, leaving at night
for San Francisco.
Persons who attended, both hear
ings say that the showing made in'
Portland in opposition to section 28
was much more .comprehensive and
convincing than the presentation
made in Seattle. Portland inter
ests presented practically a united
front; Puget sound interests were
divided to the extent that represen
tatives of the Pacific Steamship
company, which operates shipping
board vessels from these ports, were
lined up in support of section 28 and
in fervent expression of hope that
the board would require the en
forcement of that section.
Patriotic Argument Used.
At today's hearing J. D. Lowman,
representing the Seattle chamber of
commerce, presented statistics show
ing that American ships are now
carrying more than 50 per cent of
the foreign commerce of Puget
Bound ports and this without any
such discrimination against foreign
bottoms as is proposed by sec
tion 28.
Toward the close of the afternoon
session Commissioner Lissner interr
posed considerable "argument along
patriotic lines, holding it to be the
duty of all American citizens to
agree on every means of giving pref
erence to American ships in foreign
trade, even though such preterence
might call for some sacrifice of con
venience and cost. Judge George
Donworth spoke in behalf of the
chamber of commerce and the Se
attle port commission. IJe specially
urged the shipping board to put a
broad interpretation on the term
"adequate facilities." In his judg
ment this did not mean merely a
sufficient amount of cargo space,
but meant adequate facilities for
getting, handling and holding the
trade of foreign countries. 1
Coast Ports 'on Firing Lines.
"The American ports of trie Pa
cific coast," said Judge Donworth,
"are on the firjng line. The foreign
trade built up has been largely car
ried in foreign ships and unless your
committee can certify to the inter
state commerce commission that the
enforcement of section 28 will cause
no decrease of our foreign trade that
section shoufd be held in suspense
or canceled.
"We are in hearty accord with
every other provision of the law ex
cept this and our patriotic interest
in upbuilding an American merchant
marine is not to be questioned. We
should be assured of adequate fa
cilities not only in the number of
American ships but in every other
respect before we begin to discrim
inate against the foreign-owned
Ships now trading In our ports."

Representation of the" federation
in supreme- court proceedings now
under way to test the validity of in
junction laws and decisions of lower
courts affecting wages of . hotel
employes was authorized.
Condemnation of the state bank
ing code, with the exception of the
act permitting the operation of
mutual banks, was expressed in a
resolution adopted without discus
sion land which asked for the .repeal
of practically all present state
banking laws and the passage of
new legislation safeguarding the
public against fraud and "bank
speculation."
Another resolution approved the
bill now pending in the national
house of representatives providing
for broader activities by navy
yards and arsenals and benefits to
civil industrial employes.

Sanitarium Women's ' Protest
.Against Academy Students Is
, ' "'All to No Avail.
The inarienable and sacred right
of boys to make noise and to play in
the streets was duly upheld by city
council yesterday afternoon, when it
dismissed a petition against the Hill
Military Academy brought by sev
eral residents of the neighborhood of
Twenty-fourth and Johnson streets.
"Boys are boys and streets are
streets and ever the twain will
meet," Mayor Baker -remarked in
summing up the various opinions
expressed by the . other commis
sioners. .
Several of the residents - of the
section appeared in support of a pe
tition which asked that the council
take steps to remedy alleged con
ditions at Daniels hall, one of the
dormitories of the academy. The
neighbors complained that the chil
dren were noisy, that they played in
the streets, and that ttiey occasion
ally ran over lawns and climbed
buildings.
'Good heavens," exclaimed Com
missioner Bigelow after several
people had testified, "are we going
to have to lock up all the boys and
girls of the city? Are we going to
be asked to pass laws making play
ing a crime?"
The principal attack on the school
was made by Mrs. Julia C. Wright
and Delphina E. Capling of the Best
Haven sanitarium, , 794 Johnson
street. For a time personalities be
tween the two women and Joseph
Hill, head of the academy, clouded
the air of council chambers.

CORVALLIS, Or.. July 12. '(Spe
cial.) Members of the Presbyte
rian synod in session here this
week released for publication today
a resolution or statement of belief
signed by 25 leading pastors of the
state, in which they declare them
selves opposed to the measure on
the next election ballot directed
against continuance of privately
controlled schools. They desired it
understood that the resolution
signed by them was not presented
to the synod in official session, but
was circulated among the ministers
in attendance and signed without
pressure or urgency. The resolu
tion reads as follows? .
"Whereas, there has been pro
posed to the people of Oregon legis
lation abolishing all privately con
trolled schools of primary and
grammar grades; and.
."Whereas, much of the propa
ganda in favor of this bill has been
conducted in the name of Protest
antism, we, the undersigned Protest
ant ministers, members of the Pres
byterian church, believe that the
proposed legislatidn is inimical to
the highest human welfare for the
following reasons:
"1. It proposes to abolish one sys
tem of religious education and of
fers no substitute for it In any
plan of religious Instruction In con
nection with the public school sys
tem. '
Liberty Held Threatened.
"2. It is based on the philosophy
of autocracy that the child belongs
primarily to the state: it is an un
justifiable invasion of family au
thority and threatens ultimately the
guarantees of our American liberty.
"3. The proposed legislation in its
conception, promotion and execution
violates what we conceive to be
the spirit of fraternity and broth
erly love taught by our Master."
Signers of the resolution were:
William K. Boddy, pastor communi
ty, church, Hood River; Boucinct
Seeley, superintendent ot church
extension, Portland, Presbyterian;
Edward H. Pence; pastor West-,

College Needs Considered.
The business that proved 'most
interesting and brought out most
discussion was the report of the
committee of tha, general board of
education that has to do with Al
bany college.
The report revealed a proposition
for development of a great school
in connection with the United
Presbyterian Synod of Columbia.
A committee was appointed to con
sider the proposition in co-operation
with Dr. Stickwell, who rep
resents the general board of educa
tion of the Presbyterian church.
President Williams took the synod
by surprise when he presented to
the trustees of the college his res
