HALF $15,000,000 STOCK OFFERED AMERICANS Steamships to Be Built in This Country and Run Under U. S. Laws. 'Witblneton Bureau of T&e Journal) Washington, Feb. 22. As a mat- ' ter of desp interest .o Portland it Is told to The Journal that Bernard N. Baker of Baltimore has another 'plan for a great steajnship line to connect the Atlantic and the Pacific I coasts of the United S ates via the Panama canal. He met Joseph N. Teal of Portland, Or., today in this jcity. Baker told Teal, that, he has hopes of aiding In establishing a greater steamship line than he had dreamed of. Jast fall Herr Ballin, director gen eral of the Hamburg-American lino, cabled, to Bake" to meet Jilm. At the meeting Ballin placed before Baker a proposal to Incorporate In this country a' steamship company amenable to all iti laws and reflations, with a capital of J15.000.000. The Hamburg-American, said Ballin. stood ready to subscribe for one half of the capital stock, leaving the other half for subscription by Am ericans, or if American capital was not forthcoming- Germany would take the whole amount. TJte plans Included the building- or the steamships in this country. Presented to Congress. Ballin said he desired to see enforced the laws against railroad ownership of chipping; line. That ha preferred to have the regulation of . the business placed in the hands of the Interstate Commerce commission, and that he was willing Unfile rates and to subscribe In very respect to the laws. He assarted his entire confidence in the result of the operation of the proposed Una from a business point -of view. . Thli propeial -ha iee pJ4e4hetee congress to ascertain If there be any objections, and Baker presented Teal with a copy duly attested. "I cannot se," said. Teal tonight, "why the proposed arrangement should .not be carried out. I suggested to Mr. Baker that there should be a local di rectorate on the Pacific coast and they concurred. I Insisted that the Colum bia river shall be a regular port of oall. Xoyal Man la Held. "I have heard that the Royal Mall, which is the great English rival of the Hamburg-American, Is likely to estab lish a service between the coasts. There Is no question but that steamship- men are looking with great Interest on the effect of the opening of the canal, and it will not be long after the canal is ' opened before there would be ample service between the coasts. "It Is perfectly apparent that the city having the traffic and the facili ties for handling1 the. traffic to the beat advantage will be the one that will se cure the business. The water terminal question is the one salient feature dwelt on both in congress and by the steam ship' men. "The necessity for municipally owned ' terminals, at which freight can be nan- d cheaply, expeditiously and certaln is becoming paramount. The ques- Jn is not one of steamships, but it la one of service at tha terminals. This fact must not be lost sight of." . Teal and Baker will 'meet the steam hip people in New York nest Monday; after that It is possible that the details of the plan will be more fully revealed to the public.
