ROOSETELT WRITES POLLARD (Continued from First Page. foreign competitors. The higher wages and the greater cost of maintenance of Amer ican officers and crewa make It almost im possible for our reople who do business on the ocesn to compete on equal terms with, foreign ships unless they are pro tected somewhat as their fellow country men who do business on land are pro tected. We cannot as a country afford to have tha wsges snd the manner of life of our seamen cut down, and the only alternative, If we-are to have seamen at all, is to offset the expense by giving some advantage to the ship itself. "The proposed law which has been Intro duced in congress Is in no sense experi mental. It Is based on the best snd most successful precedents, ss, for instance, on the recent Cunard contract with the Brit Ish government. As far as South America Is concerned, Its aim Is to provide from the Atlantic and pacific coasts Detter American lines to the great ports of South America than the present European lines. The South American republics now see only our warships. Under this bill our trade friendship will bs evident to them. The bill proposes to build large-slxed steam ers or slxteen-knot speed. There are nearly 3ii0 such steamships already In tha world's foreign trade, and over three-fourtha of them now draw subsidies postal or ad. mlralty or both. The hill will encourage our shipyards, which are almost aa neces sary to the national defense as battleships, and the efficiency of which depends in a large measure upon their ateady employ merit In large construction. The Dronoaed bill Is of Importance to our bavy, because It gives a considerable fleet of auxiliary ateamsmps, such as are now almoat wholly lacking, and also provides for an effective navai reserve. Provisions of Bill. "Tha bill provides for fourteen steamships. suuaiaisea to the extent or over l,&w,oua from the Atlantic coast, all to run to South American porta. It provides on the i'acine coast for twenty-two steamers, subsidised to the extent of S.2G0.0O0. some of these to run to South America, most of them to Manila, Australia and Aaia. Be it remembered that while ths ships will be ownea on the coasts, tne cargoes will largely be supplied by the Interior, and thut the bill will benefit the Mississippi vauey as mucn as it Denents ths seaboard. "1 have laid stress upon the benefits to he expected from our trade with (south Amer ica. The lines to the orient are also of vital Importance. Tha commercial possi bilities of the Paettio are unlimited, and for national reasons It Is Imperative that we should have direct and adequate com munication by American lines with Hawaii and the Philippines. Tha existence of our present steamship lints on the Pacific la seriously threatened by the foreign subei dlsed linos. Our communication with tha marketa of Asia and with our own t -sessions In the Philippines, no leas than our communication With Australia, should depend not upon foreign but upon our own steamships. The southwest and the nrrth west should alike be served by these lines, and If this is done they will also give to the Mississippi valley throughout Its entire length the advantage of all transcontinental railways running to the Psclflo coast. To fall to establish adequate lines on the Pa cific is equivalent to proclaiming to the world that we have neither the ability nor the disposition to contend for our rightful shore of the commerce of tha orient nor yet to protect our interests In the Philip pines. It would surely be discreditable for us to surrender to our commercial rivals ths great commerce of the orient, the great commerco we should have with 9.uth America, and even our "" ""nunlcatlon with Hawaii and the Philippine "I earnestly hoie for enactment Xif some law like the one In question."

IT CONTAINS SEVENTY THOUSAND ACRE. Rrsolatlen of Senator Morgan Will qaestlon Rlht of Kins; Leopold to Darter Territory Away. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. March 81. (Special.) Thomas F. Ryan, financially of New Tork, socially of Washington, and bucolio ally of Virginia, la credited with having more Irons In the fire of Investment than any man In America. A Nsw Tork story has It that Mr. Ryan Is about to begin the experiment of grow ing Jumbo peanuts on 70,000 acres of land which he haa acquired In the Congo Free State, Africa. There haa evidently been a wrong Impression somewhere. Tha land In which Mr. Ryan ia interested In the Congo country Is not wholly peanut land, or pros pective peanut land. It Is his share In a concession obtained from King Leopold of Belgium In which other concessionaries are said to be Senator Aldrlch, William Rockefeller, J. Plerpont Morgan and E. H. Harrlman. The Interest of these distinguished gen tlemen Is seriously questioned In a resolu tion how pending in the senate and re ferred to the committee on foreign af fairs. It was Introduced by Senator Mor gan and calls upon tha president for In formation as to any concessions granted In the Congo Free 8tate to any American citizen or company of citizens by King Leopold. When hla resolution was offered at the close of tha last session of congress, Senator Morgan submitted a statement In which he asserted that the Congo Free State was practically hold In trust for ths benefit of the Africans, to be for them a home and a haven. Just as the civilized nations of the world had agreed as to Liberia; that. King Leopold had Just as much right to trade away the lands of the Congo Free State as he had to barter away ths lands of Liberia, which had been dedicated to all freemen of African descent who desired to return to the land of their ancestors. Morgan's Resolution. The resolution Is the epitome of the ag itation of phllontroplc and Chlsltlan com munities for many years, the work of whose emissaries, and through travelers and explorers In Africa has brought to public attention an appalling condition of affairs, the terrorising of a million of na tives and keeping them In abject alavary under the most horribly cruel practices, all for mercenary purposes. The Congo Free State Is of all the world the richest region for the production of rubber, palm oil and Ivory, for marketing of which capitalists In several European eountrlea. as well aa of the United States, have obtained concessions from the Bel gian monarch who la Individually Inter ested to a larger extent than any other per son. But It la given out that It ia tha pro motion of peanut culture in which Mr. Thomaa F. ftyan la most concerned. Mr. Ryan knows something about peanut farming In Virginia, but he la credited wlth Baying that the Congo country beats the world for goobers The best paying ,,t -a,., Ianut frown In Jumbo variety i Virginia la the so-called a large rich peanut. abounding, in oil and nutritious qualities. it brings the hlgS-'St' '.lea, 'f - nial IS the grade Mr. Ryan promises to grow In the Congo Free State. He will probably make It a by-product to his rubber, palm oil and . Ivory production. If the United States government does not act upon Sen ator Morgan'a resolution and discover that the title of himself and hla associates, de rived from Leopold, Is void. Qaestlon for Forest Service. The forest service has submlttsd to tha attorney general the question of the legality of the practice of so charging commercial companies for the right of conducting water through the reserves for the development of power and other purposes as to causa them to contribute to the expense of main j talnlng the reserves. The service haa heretofore exacted payment for pipe lines taking water from the streams In tha re serves, but ths right to do so has been ' questioned, and It Is now the purpose to sccure the attorney general's view on the point. Ths forestry administration takes the position that the commercial companies should pay something for the service they receive through the conservation of the waters of the streams on which they rely and they find their only opportunity In tha charge for right-of-way. Practically all the water used by them la conveyed through pipe lines for the production of electricity, and tha demand la constantly Increasing. Chile Falls to Send Minister. Chlla'a failure to aend a minister to Washington to replace Mr. Walker Marti nez, who did not return here after the Pan American conference at Rio Janeiro last summer, haa caused much comment. The neglect of the Chilean conference to ap. proprlate sufficient money to maintain tha legation has been given aa a reaaon for leaving ths American mission In charge of Alberto Toacham, secretary of the lega tion. But It haa Just become known that the real cause was hidden deep In Latin American polltica. Chile decided It would be a good Idea to have an ambassador in Washington, and ateps were taken to dis cover what the United Stataa thought about the proposed elevation of the Chilean repreaentatlve to Waahlngton. The sug gestion that the Chilean envoy might be raised to ambassadorial rank set all Latin America on edge and a general movement waa Instituted by the southern republics to head off such a movement. Argentina, being unfriendly to Chile, waa especially opposed to the plan, as Brasll end Chile are always rated aa allies, and Argentina did not want lta two atrongeat rivals to outstrip It In American representation. It haa not been tha policy of tha Stats de partment to send ambassadors to any country which cannot be ranked aa a world power, and whan tha hostility of the rest of South America to auch a change became known the United States decided that ths qussUon had better not be agitated further at thla time.

Incidentally, Pa's new men mado a decided hit with the 1.800 fans who had turned out In state of the chilly day to witness the first presentation of players Pa haa gathered from all sections of this oountry. To say the fans were pleaded with the outlook would be putting the matter too mildly, for they were really enthusiastic over the work of Austin, White, Franck, Graham, Rattan and Hall. Hall showed up the best of the trio of new pitchers whom Pa sent In to do the honors, and held the hardware men for the last three Innings without a hit. The only man to reach flrat on Hall was Claire, in the aevemth Inning. He struck out and ToWnsend dropped tha ball, letting Claire reach the sack. Hall la a tall, lanky fellow from Cedar Raptda and baa all sorts of speed, side arm delivery, curve and "everything," as Ihe boll players say. Ragan la a different build, being shorter and heavy set. He ahut them out for hla three Innings, aithough they made a hit In each Inning. Aestln and White Stars. All eyes ware on Austin and White, the new youngsters, and they certainly made good. Austin Is in the pink of condition, having played Indoor ball all winter, and the way he covered ground and threw and hit and ran bates waa a marvel. He went from flrat to third on an Infield out, show ing ha haa the gooda aa a runner. White la as rapid and accurate as a hair trigger. Ury, on first, Is not up to the standard of Jloe Dolen, either in fielding or at the bat. and did not make aa good an impres sion as ths others. There Is time for him to Improve, though. Franck is well known and did what waa expeoted of him. He shows be ktu Bis bead with him at all times aa4 wITt make a good held general." Franck aent Meta In to do tha first box ' work. He thut them out In the first two Innings, but in the third they went after him with a bunting game, and the first three men reached first on bunts. The first waa a clean bunt by Roben, and Town tend did not try to field Lawler's bunt, aa he thought It a foul, but Gondlng called It fair. Ury went wroinr en the next bunt by Mullen and the baaea were filled. Claire walked, forcing Roben. White fielded Gib eon's grounder clean and caught Lawler at the plate. Mlnnlkus went out from Franck to Ury and Crelghton walked. Mullen came home on Townssnd's error. Ury missed a thrown ball and Gibson, Minnikua and Crelghton crossed the plate, making five runs, all the Originate were able to moke In the game. Met: did not seem to be In good form and could not put them Over, although be waa trying nothing; but alow balla. Williams la Wild. Williams started to do the alab work for the Originals, but he waa ao wild Pa'a Colts could not hit safely for the two In Ings and part of the third he was In the box. Austin made a run In the first Inning by walking, going to third on Franck'a In field out from Lawler to Claire and coming home on a wild pitch. Williams got away with the second Inning with but three men facing him. Hla troublss atarted, however, In the third Inning. He walked the first four men up and than hit Autrey, thus forcing In two runs with none out when he aaked Fred Bradford to relieve him and Nig Adams waa aent In to finish the Inning. Adams walked Welch for a starter and than hit Ury and Graham. White went out from Mullen to Claire and Townaend struck out. Meta hit for a alngle and Austin cleared the baaea with a double, making a total of eight rune for the Inning. After the disastrous third Adama aattled down knd a run In the fourth waa the best the Rourkea oould do. Welch led oft with a alngle, went to second on a wild pitch, to third on Lawler's wild throw to first and home on Robsn't muff of a fly from Whlte'a bat. The game was quite Interesting and ex cept for the bad Inning for eaoh side ths fane were treated to aome good base ball. The league men were given tome gruelling work laat week and ahowed the etTecta of lameness, but this will war off with a few warm dayt In the eun. That whip of Austin'! waa the talk of tha fanS on tha cars returning from the game. He could shoot them across In a way that was marvel loos. White Sox Cocao Friday. The White Sox will be hare for a gams Friday when Pa aays he will pitch Thomp son and MoNselay. St. Paul comes Satur day and Sunday. OMAHA. AB. R. K. O.

Schlpke, Psrrlng and Austin graduated acale. Pa seems to be right In thinking he haa the goods this year. Hall and Thompson are looked upon iiie cream or ins new pitcnmg Starr. Austin and White were watched more critically yesterday than any other of Pa'e children. When a man knowt that i.VKt eyes are riveted on him he deserves all the mora credit for making good. Looks like St. Louis Isn't wearing mourn Ing over the beer famine when 3o,000 fans turn out to the first ball game.
