Washington, May 29. (Special Telegram). F. A. Hrogan, chairman of the executive committee of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, urged upon Representative Jefferis recently the importance of obtaining an allotment of merchant ships from the Shipping board for the port of New Orleans. While the ships are not expected to ply between gulf ports and Omaha, it is hoped that by using the rail route to St. Louis and the water route to New Orleans, a great savings will be made in freight rates between .Missouri river and gulf terminals. Representative Jefferis, w'ho has been an active member of the Cham ber of Commerce for a number of years, realizing what might be ac complished through such an allot ment of ships as suggested by Mr. Hrogan, immediately took up the matter with Chairman Hurley of the shipping board and the chief of op erations. Mr. Jefferis today received a reply to. his request for an allotment of merchant ships for the port of New Orleans to operate on the Missis sippi, Chairman Hurley, 81110:15 other things, saying: "I am pleased to advise you of my sympathetic interest in your re quest and to acquaint you with the fact that the shipping board has al ready allotted to New Orleans three ships, the first to be assigned in July, the'!second in August and the third in September. In addition, two more ships will be placed in this trade during October and Novem ber. "You may rest assured we will do everything in our power to be of help to the posts of the south and shall assign to them the number of ships requested to move their prod ucts just as soon as such ships be come available."
