Administration Will Reintroduce
Measure Which Met Defeat in
Last Congress and Merry
Contest Is Expected to Result.
Ship Subsidy Advocates to Make
Counter Proposals, Saying
War Will Necessitate Vessels
to Handle the Larger Trade.
By JONATHAN WINFIELD.
WASHINGTON, May 18.— A great
battle over shipping and merchant
marine le to be fought In ConffreM
a*a:n next printer The lines are now
being drawn for the flght. and a great
•ffort will be made to place the issue
before the American people In an ef
fective manner.
The Administration will reintroduce
the shipping bill which met defeat in
the lJLat Congress. The advocates of
fthip subsidy will make counter pro
posals and will concentrate their ar
guments on the fact that the Demo
cratic administration Is now agreed
with them on the main point—that
American shipping must he rehabili
tated in view of the certain perma
nent expansion of American foreign
trade resulting from the European
war
Has Largest Trade.
The ship tonnage of the world la
now apportioned in the following
manner: British. 53 per cent, Ger
man. 14 per cent. American, 9 per
cent; French. 5 per cent, and a few
others scattering. The supremacy of
Great Britain in shipping Is not based
on any such overwhelming superiori
ty in commerce.
As a matter of fact, American ex
ports and imports at present are by
far the largest of any nation in the
world For the fiscal year 1912-1913
they barely fell behind the total for
eign trade of Great Britain and all her
colonies.
At the present time American ship
ping carries less than 9 per cent of
our own foreign trade. Out of a total
of more than 46,000.000 gross tonnage
for the entire world Great Britain
carries a trifle less than half, more
than 6,000,000 are German, while only
a little more than 2,000.000 are Amer
ican
Wants Merchant Marine.
The Administration wants to build
up a merchant marine through gov
ernment ownership and operation.
The shipping interests believe the
same end can be attained througn
government subvention. Various
methods have been proposed, but that
of Great Britain, which uses a system
of mail contracts, is one upon which
most emphasis is being laid
The United States Commissioner of
Navigation recently estimated that on
the principal ocean mall contracts be
tween England and the other parts of
the British Empire a yearly output of
14.400,000 was made Germany also
gives its ships a heavy subsidy for
carrying the malls.
These successful examples of ship
subsidy will be placed before :he
American people In a supreme effort
to convert them to the subvention
doctrine. The Administration will be
equally arduous on behalf of its ship
ping measure. Between the two of
them a merry flght is promised.

Plant Kills Man
In a Fit of Hatred
PHILADELPHIA, May 29.—Blue
rockets show fear, and the deadly
nightshade Is full of hatred. Both of
these are plants, but that does not
prevent them from declaring merci
less war on all animal life. The blue
rocket perfume carries one of the
deadliest of poisons. One-sixteenth of
a grain shot from its poison pistil has
proved fatal to a man.
"Give this plant the semi-muscular
system possessed by the carnivorous
plants and It would be more dangerous
than the cholera," said Professor
Henry G Walters, head of the plant
research bureau at Langhorne.
The professor, who maintains that
plants have memories and are capable
of love, believes also that there are
plants which exercise all the emotions
of enmity.

has to hls credit a compact instru
ment for measuring the height of
trees.
Schneider's parents were wealthy,
and hi« early life was easy and with

fect on his sympathetic mind, with the
result that he became a student of
civic problems and decided to devote
hls life to educating the poor and ig
norant.

discovered by spie« of the Govern
ment. Once, when Schneider was ab
sent at a social party, his home was
surrounded. The police twoke in the
doors, but not finding him. decided to
await his return. Friends warned
him of the presence of the police at
his home. Passports were forged and
the guards at the boundary w’ere
bribed.
Schneider reached the United State;--.
He obtained employment in New York
City and studied at night school. In
two years he passed the New York
State high school examinations and
then decided to enter the College of
Forestry at Ohio State University.
Two years at Ohio were followed
by four years of wandering through
the Western country. Then the young
Russian came to the University of
Washington and resumed study in his
chosen work. He will be graduated
In June.
Of an Inventive turn of mind.
Schneider has spent many hoars at
hls bench In the shop at the engi
neering building. He Is perfecting an
instrument for reading vertical and
horizontal distance and measuring
trees. Dean Winkenwerder. of the
College of Forestry, says that the
appliance Is excellent.
