A
SHANGHAIING LAW
ISUKELY TOPHI
Ecus Has Declared Against
rageous Practice and. Bill
I- Is Up to Senate.
By W. W. Jermane.
Washington, May 31.The commit
tee on merchant marine of the house
of representatives has not for a num
ber of years done a better thine than'
when ii reported back to the house,
with the recommendation that it pass,
ft bill providing for the breaking up or
the outrageous and monstrous practice
of shanghaiing, as practiced both oil
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of this
country. The committee gave full hear
ings on the bill, and then voted unan
imously to recommend its passage. The
house passed it and a favorable report
has been made on it in the senate.
"While shanghaiing has become very
common in coast cities, the committee
in its report to the house selected the
oyster trade of Chesapeake bay as of
fering an illustration of the general
iniquities and cruelties of the system.
Extreme Oases In Oyster Trade.
It was testified before the committee
that there are very extreme caseg of
shanghaiing in the oyster trade. Where
the natives who are experienced in the
oyster industry are employed there are
comparatively few cases of cruelty, but
as there are not enough men in the tide
water counties who understand the oys
ter industry who are willing to go,
every season, generally iust before the
oyster dredging begins, late in Septem
ber or early in October, the shipping
agents in Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York make arrangements to en
gage all the people they can for the
oyster industry. They generally get
from $10 to $12 a head for every man
delivered "by them on board a vessel.
That $10 or $12 a head the captain de
ducts from the wages the men are sup
posed to receive. The men are seldom
or never told that this deduction is to
be made.
The Men Are Deceived.
These men are lied to in the most
part, and they are usually told that
they can &o ashore overnight and that
the work is light and easv. In many
instances they are just-recovering fTom
a debauch and they are both physically
and as to clothing utterly unadapted
to stand the exposure. They are sick,
miserable and disgusted. The work is
hard, and not knowing how to do the
Work they are slow to do it or cannot
do it at all. and the captain is a poor
man. Sometimes lie owns his boat, but
more frequently he operates it on
shares and he pays to the Shipping
agent $10 or $12 per man, and if he
cannot get the work out of them after
he gets them down the bay he loses
the profits of his winter's work: and
being usually a man of no particular
education and of no particular control
over his passions, the only thing he can.
do then 1B to make these fellows work
by compulsion, and the only way he
knows how to make them work is to
beat and cuff and hammer them until
they do work. Then they try to escape
and are drowned or beaten until they
are desperately, injured.
Seldom Receive Pay.
Jolrn O. "Hose, United States district
attorney of .Baltimore, who gave the
above information to the committee,
further stated that in the seven years
in which he has tried such cases, in no
case has 'he ever-met any one or these
men who had. eve* ^befen liaid^f*^ dayv

M1NEB IS TO BAYE
A CARNEGIE MEDE
Journal Special Service.
Wilkesbarre, Pa May 31.William
Watkins, a modest young miner of Ed
wardsville, :near here,' who thinks he
has done nothing remarkable, is the
first anthracite mineworker to be
awarded a Carnegie medal for heroism.
This morning he received word from
F. M. Wilmot, manager of the Carne
gie fund, that he had been granted a
medal and $1,200 for his heroism in
saving the lives of three men at the
Kingston Coal company colliery on
Sept. 3, 1004.
When the newspapers printed the
story of the rescue Watkins was angry.
He said it was foolish to make so much
fuss about nothing, and he would not
tell the story of how it happened or
how he felt as he faced death.

PEDESTRIANS TO HAYE
SUBWAYS IN PARIS
Paris, May 31.A network of subways
for the use of pedestrians only is a pos
sibility in the near future here. The
idea is the outcome of the application
of the authorities to allow the construe^
tion of a subway to connect the Odeon
theater with the underground railway.
The application was granted and the
managers of other theaters and big de
partment stores immediately followed,
with similar requests, which all were
{ink
{ranted. Now it is contemplated to
these subways to create a system
of underground footways in those parts
of the city which are most obstructed
by vehicular traffic.

Dublin, May 31.A notable career

painful illness, Michael Davitt die!

Mrs. Davitt,'who is an American, and

Engineer Stevens Says Question

Decided.
Washington, May 31."Altho I have
little time to look into political condi
tions in Panama, I do not think there
is danger of any serious revolution on
the isthmus," Chief Engineer Stevens
of the isthmian canal commission said
yesterday. ''The Panama railway was
never affected seriously by revolution
ists on the isthmus, and even if there
were to be an insurrection, I do not
think the canal zone would be involved
in the disorder. Any encounters would
doubtless be without the zone."
The Canal Outlook.
In speaking of the future of canal
work, Mr.. StevenB said:
We have now come to the parting
of the ways and must know what sort
of canal we are to build. Just before I
left the isthmus the first of the new
locomotives and large cars arrived, and
within three months we shall have the
necessary equipment to make the dirt
fly. So far practically all the digging
which has been done "was for the pur
pose of laying tracks and getting ready
to make use of the large cars and other
machinery upon its arrival. Now the
plant for handling the dirt is almost
ready and a halt must soon be called if
it is not known whether the canal is to
be of the lock or sea-level type."
Health Conditions Good.
Mr. Stevens is very enthusiastic^about
the health conditions and says it has
been demonstrated that cleanliness
makes Panama a safe place to live. The

Ne Sunday.
Edward -Chiles Carpenter writes th
leading story1
in the Journal' populare
magazine next Sunday. It is enti
tied, "The Imp, Girl and, Commodore'
and is a pretty piece of, fiction as
breezy as its title indicates. The Imp
was Coco, commander of a sneak-box
sailing under the name of Pollywog.
The girl was Claire Furness, otherwise
the most adorable, and the commodore
was Tom McCrea, the acknowledged
chief of the Indian Harbor Yacht club.
The fourth character in the play was
Charles G-aylor, who passed from Indian
Harbor leaving no pleasant memories
belling him. But it was to Gaylor that
the most adorable, Claire Furness,
turned when she fell out with the commo
dore overwell, just what all lovers
fall out abouta kiss administered to
the wrong person. The imp resolved
that the undeserving Gaylor should not
win the girl, and when they planned a
harbor elopement the imp attempted
to substitute the real lover at the last
possible moment, but in this he was
foiled by Gaylor, and most sad to re
late, the imp himself fell a victim to
the heroine's -wiles. .A. somewhat un
usual ending is given Mr. Carpenter's
tale by the little sea pictures, one the
Jolly Boger with the girl at the sail
and the commodore's hands clasped
over hers another a tiny sail driftiug
into a silver pool in the moonlit hours,
silhouetted against the white canvas a
boy with his fists under- his chin ob

cerned only. in his soul's first tragedy.

Fair Applicant for a Divorce Ac
cords Her First "Colony" ?$
Interview.^
Special to The Journal.
Sioux Falls, S. "__ May 31.James Q.
Blaine is not expected to resist his
wife's prospective suit for divorce to
be filed in the district court here six
months hence and. on the other hand,
she will not ask him to pay her any
alimony.
Furthermore, she will not seek to
have his divorce from his first wife de
clared void, as has been reported, but
instead ig interested in sustaining its
validity as she would otherwise never
have been legally married herself. She
thinks she has ample ground for a
divorce without resorting .to technical
ities.
Such, in substance, is the information
given out by Mrs. Blaine in an inter
view here today, the first she has
granted since she came a fortnight
ago. Immediately upon her arrival she
employed Peter J. Bodge as her attor
ney, who told her that it would not do
to admit that she as here for the pur
pose of getting a divorce, as she must
establish in court that she came as a
bona fide resident.
Accordingly, she was very# chary
about discussing her plans, predicating
her statements on the theory that she
had not decided whether to sue for
divorce or not. She says she has per
manently left the parental roof of Ad
miral Hichborn at Washington.
The dread of the "morning after"
that haunts the "man of pleasure" is
