Leads all North Carolina Bailies in Mews and Circulation FRYE ARGUES FOR THE SUBSIDY BILL We Need Protection For Our ’Shipping Interests THIS IS FRYE’S KEYNOTE A Bill to Classify free Rural De livery Service. THE MEASURE IS NOW BEFORE THE HOUSE Spicches Are Made by Loud and Swanson. The Conference Report on the Philippines Tariff Bill is Presented to the House. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, March 3. —The Senate I>e gan today consideration of what is pop ularly known as the Shipping Bill. Mr. Frye (Maine), chairtnan of the Commit tee on Commerce, made the opening statement in support of th bill. He oc cupied the floor for nearly two hours re viewing the measure reported by the committee and dealing with questions which have arisen in connection with its consideration. Mr. Frye’s address was largely techni cal, but his argument was listened to with close attention by Senators on both sides of the Chamber. It seemed to him, Mr. Fry* l said, that the policy of protection had been vastly beneficial to the American people. The United States, he asserted, had no peer industrially. Only one industry had been without protection—and without protec tion for fifty years—and with the logical result. The shipping interests of the country had been neglected in the giv ing of protection. This country had per mitted its inferiors to seize upon the pathways of ocean commerce almost without a struggle. ”Jt seems to me,’ said Mr. Frye, “that that picture ought to humiliate and mortify beyond expression any patriotic citizen of the United States who glories in the power and prosperity of his coun try. It is not alone humiliating—it is ab solutely dangerous.” Mr. Frye asked who was going to carry the $487,000,000 of exports in the evert of a war between Germany and Great Britain. “Why,” said he, “the farmers and the manufacturers and the wage earners of the United States -would pay a penalty equal to that paid by either of the contending parties.” Mr. Frye than sought to show that this condition of things was caused by Ameri can wages, which increased the cost of our ships for the foreign trade at least 25 per cent. Mr. Frye declared that of all steamships in the world of 14 knots and upward 80 I>er cent are subsidized by the countries whose flags they carry. Os 16 knots and upwards, he said, all but six in the w orifl are heavily subsidized by the country whose flags they float. “Are we to sub mit to this humiliating, wretched con dition of things?” said Mr. Frye. The nations paying these subsidies, he declared, did so for the purpose of ex tending their trade and for nothing else. “Trade cannot precede the mail,’ he said. ’ The mail must precede the trade.” Mr. P’rye contended that there is not a nation on this earth that needs markets for its surplus products more than the United States. An American ship, han dled by intelligent, active, earnest and interested American officers, he said, is better instrument for the distribution of our products abroad than a German ship officered with Germans, Germany being a dangerous rival of the United States, Mr. Frye declared that free ships for which some Senators were contending would mean an increase in cost of 28 per cent more than they do now and would close every shipyard in the United States against building any ship foe foreign trade. lie said that bounties had been suggested, but these were repugnant to the Constitution, and a violation of thirty-four commercial treaties with dif ferent nations of the world. “Now these nations are today looking jealously at us,” saiil Mr. Frye, “and it is said that they are studying the problem as to how they can stop us from getting into these foreign markets.” To abrogate these treaties, he said, would only serve as an excuse for retaliation. He said that the only way to accomplish anything in the direction indicated by him would he to pay from the Treasury of the United States annually a sum of money which shall be equal to the difference between the operating and carrying on of the trade in foreign ships, and that carried in our own. The Republican party had stood by that idea of protection and en couragenmt ever since it had been a party in power and that party, he Insisted, could not excuse itself from leaving an industry as important as this entirely un protected. Mr. Frye said that in two years the enactment of the pending bill would in crease the expenditure in American ship yards $40,000,000. In addition rhe mail subsidies, amounting now to nearly $3,- 000,000 a year, would act as an offset to the amount of about $6,000,000 paid in subsidies to American shipping. At tlie conclusion of Mr. Frye's state ment, Mr. Bacon (Georgia) inquired as to the condition of business in American ship yards. Was it true that they wpre full of orders? “It is not true,” replied Mr. Frye. Mr. Bacon asked if Mr. Frye hud not The News and Observer. noted in the newspapers the glowing ac counts of the work being done in Ameri can ship yards. Mr. Frye replied that he had seen a paragraph to the effect that Mr. Furness of Great Britain, had made a contract recntly for the construction of eight steamships in American yards. The fact was that the contract had been made for the construction of the eight steamships ,in Great Britain. In response to an inquiry by Mr. Clay (Georgia), Mr. Frye said there was no law now which required that Americans should be employed upon American ships. The pending bill, he said, provided that during the first year one-fourth of the crews of American vessels should he citizens of the United States, the second year one-third and the third year one half. Mr. Cla!y and Mr. Bacon both insisted that the crews of the Pacific Mail Steam ship Company were largely Chinese, and the former read the testimony of the captain of the steamship China, of the Pacific Mail steamship, showing that about two-thirds of the crew were Chi nese. The Senate then went into executive session and adjourned. THE CONTRACT SYSTEM. The Bill to Classify the Free Rural Delivery * Service. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, March 3.—The House to day began the consideration of the bill to classify the rural free rural delivery service and place the carriers under the contract system. Only two speeches were delivered today. Mr. Loud (Cala.), Chair man of the Committee on Postoffices and Post Hoads, made the opening argument in favor of the bill speaking for two and a half hours. .Mr. Swanson (Va.), led the opposition. The debate was inter rupted before the close of the session by the presentation of the conference re port upon the Philippine Tariff Bill. Mr. Payne, the majority leader, declined to allow the minority more than thirty min utes in which to discuss the report and this offer was rejected by Mr. Richard son, the minority leader. A filibuster fol lowed and the House adjourned after the previous question upon the adoption of the report had been ordered. Mr. Loyd (Gala.), began the debate on the Rural Free Delivery Bill. He de clared that upon the solution of this question would depend whether the rural free delivery service would cost ulti mately sixty or twenty million dollars per annum. The rural free delivery ser vice up to this time, he said, had been a political one and it had given many members of Congress their first taste o! the sweets of public patronage. He traced the history and rapid growth of the service and its cost, declaring that it was the most extravagant in the pub lic service. At the inception the carriers received S3OO per annum. They now re ceived S6OO. If the salary system was continued they would eventually receive $?00 or S9OO. At the present time $850,- COO was being spent for the supervisory force. Mr. Loud charged that a promise had gene forth that if the present system was continued the members of Congress would control the appointment of the carriers in the future as they had/in the past. Mr. Swanson (Va.), argued that the present System would be more advan tageous to the rural communities than the contract system. He contended that if the service were made effective it would eventually become self-supporting Mr. Swanson contended that the con tract system under (he terms of the bill would allow the building up of a political, machine by permitting the department to pass upon the trustworthiness of the bid ders. He said that the present system by which “Democratic Congressmen were al lowed to name half the carriers in their districts should be continued.

Norfolk, Va.,’ March 3.—Cars are run ning on the main line of the Norfolk Railway and Light Company here today, but the services of the entire police force, together with the 71st regiment of Virginia, were deemed necessary to start the wheels.

' IBE WORST IS OVER. But Water Has Damaged Paterson Almost as Mach as the Fire. (By the Associated Press.) New York, March 3.—The great flood that has inundated a large part of the mill section of Paterson, N. J., subsided somewhat during the night and it is be lieved the worst is over. The damage was very great. It is estimated that the loss wrought by the flood is as large as that by the fire, while it is said there is little or no insurance to cover it. Many more families have been rendered home less by the flood than were made so by the fire. Along the water front on both sides of the river almost everything is wrecked, foundations and roadbeds having been eaten away and about everything in sight more or less damaged. The East Jersey Water Company is by far the worst sufferer from the flood. The entire filtration plant of the company, the construction of which was almost com plete, is wiped out. The contract price for the work was $860,000, all of which is lost to the company. In addition to this much of the intake of the company is de stroyed and the probabilities are that in all the loss to the company will amount to a million and a half dollars. A bridge at Dundee Island near Pas saic, N. J.. was washed away last night. It was reported that six persons who were on the bridge were drowned, but their names could not be learned. Ef ferts today to identify the persons in this accident were without result. THREE CARS WRECKED. An Accident Near Advance in Which Two Persons Are Hurt (Special to News and Observer.)

GERMANS OUT IN FORCE They Form a Long Line of Torch Bearers. MAYOR HARRISON BIDS HIM WELCOME Amid the Din ot Cheers and the Sparkle of Enumerafile Lights the Prince is Es corted From Station Through the Streets. (By the Associated Pres.) Chicago, Ills., March 3.—A glare of red fire that could be seen for miles, the blaze of hundreds of torches, the sparkle of myriads of electric lights, and the cheers of thousands of people made up the first taste of Chicago’s hospitality that was given Prince Henry of Prussia upon his arrival in this city this evening. His train arrived at the depot of the Chicago and Alton Railroad at 6:30 o’clock and from there, after he had been form ally welcomed «bv Mayor Harrison and the members of the general reception committee. Prince Henry rode through the streets packed with a dense multi tude, whose cheers compelled the dis tinguished visitor to bow continually to right and left. The Prince arrived in the city at a time when the streets were thronged to the utmost, it being the hour when many thousands of people were leaving their places of business for the day, and of all these people it seemed that nearly everyone walked over to Jackson Boulevard to await the arrival of the Prince. No more flattering welcome could have been extended any visitor, and it came not so much from the officials or the city as from its citizens. Every building along the line of his route, from the depot to the Auditorium Hotel, was gaily \ decked with bunting, the prevailing scheme being the American and German j flags intertwined, with the black eagle of Prussia over all. Many of tlie buildings had upon their fronts elaborate devices made up of hundreds of electric lights. There were “Welcomes” hv the score; there were eagles and flags and there were strings of gay colored lights al most without number. No hint of the electric light decora tions was given to the Prince until after hi.« carriage had rolled over Jackson Boulevard bridge, and was descending tlie gentle slope that leads toward Michigan Avenue. Then almost in the same sec ond the lights were turned on, and what had been but one second before a lane between dark towering buildings became an avenue of dazzling light. The torch bearers, who were German veteran sol- J diers. lit the torches at almost the same j instant, and from end to end of the | Boulevard between the bridge and Michi- I gan Avenue, two-thirds of a mile away I there was an instanteous. blaze of red I fire from both sides of the street. The train stopped with the last car on which Prince Henry rode, opposite the train gate of the depot. The German Am bassador. Baron von Holleben, was the first to alight and was greeted at once by Dr. Walter Wever, the German Con sul in Chicago. Dr. Wever was then pre sented by Baron Von Holleben to Prince Henry, and Dr. Wever presented to the Prince Mayor Harrison, who formally re ceived the visitors on behalf of the city of Chicago. Prince Henry bowed his acknowledge ments of Mayor Harrison's greeting, say ing simply: “I thank you.” The mayor and the Prince followed by the others, then passed through the large arched gateway and up the stairs into the street. A dense throng filled the street and the sidewalks for a square in either direction and ringing cheers filled the air as the Prince emerged. The cavalry escort quickly wheeled Into Place, the Prince entered his carriage and the drive to the hotel was begun. A feature of the procession from the depot to the hotel was the great number of German veteran soldiers, who lined the streets and who went fairly wild in their efforts to show their devotion to the Prince. They had among them by far the greater number of torches that were seen along the avenue and when the line of carriages had passed, the old soldiers fell into line behind them. Short ly after reaching the hotel the banquet began. As the Prince entered the ban quet hall the room rang with cheers. The Prince seemed' greatly pleased at the warmth of his welcome, and bowed and snqled repeatedly and after he had taken his seat, he nodded right and left to his entertainers as they seated them selves. HENRY AT ST. LOUIS. St. Louis, Mo-, March 3.—Prince Hen ry of Prussia spent four hours In St. Louis today, during which time he was royally entained- A short reception at Union Station, the presentation of an address of welcome by Mayor Wells, and a similar address by a committee of Germany army and navy veterans and a short reception preceded a drive through the business section of the city to the west end, where at the St. Louis Club the Prince and his suite, with the re ception committee took breakfast. There Mayor Wells presented Prince • Henry a superb casket of sterling sil ver ornamented with insignia and trim mings of gold, containing the address presented earlier by Mayor Wells. To this address the Prince responded brief ly. Carriages were again taken by the party, who were driven through the beautiful residence section of the west end into Forest Park and to the waiting train, which had been hauled there for their convenience- At 11 o’clock the train left for Chicago. Jn his response to Mayor Wells' ad dress at the St. Louis Club, Prince Henry said: “You know whose representative I am. I want you all to know the object of my mission to the United States, to cement the friendly bonds existing between the two countries. “I want you to know that Germany is ever ready to exchange greetings and to shake hands across the Atlantic when ever you are ready to do so. “I am also the representative of a nation which is ever ready to fight, a nation of arms, but not a beligerant na tion. / “My sovereign is ever an advocate of peace and intends keeping his peace with the nations. “ Jam deeply impressed by the vnst nes sos your country and the large ness of its commerce and resources. This greatness grows upon me daily as I tivel through your lard. “I find that the .United States is worth having as a friend.” FOR DEALING IN FDTUREB. ” The Sapreme Coart Upholds the Illinois Law Imposing a Fine (By the Associated Press.)

H, and B, Beer’s Cotton Letter. (Special to News and Observer.) New Orleans, La., March 3.—Our mark et opened 2 points higher, notwithstand ing Liverpool advices were discouraging and improved 11 points additional on the light Houston and New Orleans esti mates for tomorrow. Realizing near the close occasioned a decline of 3 points from the top, making the net gain 10 points on today. Port receipts for the three days are the same as last year, but the four leading interior towns dur ing the same time have received 28.000 against 21,000 last year, and the semi weekly interior receipts for the thirteen' leading towns are estimated at 45,000, against 46,000 last year. Manchester cables state that the Indian trade was dull during the week with few offers. There were occasional sales of staples to China, but on the whole sellers were unable to make much progress. Buyers are closely watching the cotton receipts and are led to the inference that the crop may exceed 10,500,000-bales, in which case they anticipate lower prices. In the meanwhile whatever movement there may be in the immediate future in America supplies there are considered ample for the present. Sentiment continues very bullish on the expectation of a decided decrease in receipts. H. & B.
