The published statements were cited in tho Nelson resolution and were printed several weeks ago. In reply to tho statement that not a jnirle troopship had been turned out on Shipping Iioafd order, Mr. Pier said that troopships w re not contemplated In tho cr.Kinal building programme, because he War Department was of opinion that there was sufficient available tonnage with German and Hrltlsh passenger ealps. It was not until the spring of :itt ear, he said, that the War Depart- ment called for troopships and that con- tracts were then Immediately let, but they had to be placed In new yards, be- cause the old yards were full with or-O- rs Mr Piez gao tho actual output of ves- sels for the year In the following figures .

Washington, Jan. 23. Secretary of the Treasury Glass said to-d- that tho Treasury had mado all plans for col- lecting taxes on the understanding that the revenue bill would be enacted by February 1, but that reports had come to him that It might be much longer be- fore It was completed. \The delay Is making a most serious situation for tho Treasury, and a feeling of exasperation among business men,\ the Secretary said. \We cannot admlnls-'e- r the law so well when It Is so late In being completed, and them Is apparent a great deal of Irritation on the part of interests which do not know how much to set aside for taxes.\ Mr. Glass said the Treasury would proceed with administration of Oie law without awaiting the signature of the President, when It finally Is disposed of by Congress. The date of the next Lib- erty Loan, planned for April, would not be affected by the delay In completion of tho revenue measure, he added. Pa. r BIG DRIVE TO BOOM MERCHANT MARINE Orgniiizntion Completed lo Conduct Nationwide I'ropnprandn. FOH PBIVATJ3 AH Industrial Elements Are Invited to Join Crusndc for l S. Bottoms. Special Httpatch to Tub Sc.. Washington, Jan. 23. A permanent organization under tho name of the Na- tional Merchant Marine Association to advocato the building and maintenance of a great American merchant marine wns organized here to-d- as an out- growth of a two days conference of shipping Interests with officials having to do with tho shipping business. All Industrial elements even remotely Inter- ested In shipping nre Invited to Join and to conduct a great nationwide propa- ganda for the cause. The conference was decidedly In favor of private ownership and operation of the merchant shipping of the nation. It passed the following resolution: \It Is the belief of this conference that only an American merchant marine de- veloped under private enterprise will be permanently successful. Recognising that many elements are Involved In de- termining the basis upon which private Interests may continue to build or takd oer for operatlo;i existing or contract tonnage; therefore bo It declared Series of Conferences, \That this conference and the result- ing organization shall Invito Into n further scries of conferences representa- tives of all the Interests directly related to the building and operation of an American merchant marine for the pur- pose of developing a plan and pro- gramme under which an American mer- chant marine ran be practically and successfully established.\ It. Goodwin Hhett of Charleston. P. C. former president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United State\ wns elected temporary president of tho nsso- - rlnHm. nn Wlnfh.n t M...t . secretary John A. Donald, a member of the Shipping Board, declared for private ownership and operation of the vessels built by the Kmergency Fleet Corpora- tion. He advanced a novel plan for In dividual ownership of the 2,700 vessels available, suggesting that each 0110 be bought by a coterie of small Investors after tho Government had written oft war costs and mado tho price reason ablo nnd each bo operated by an Indi vidual corporation. He said; \It Is my idea that we should take a resolve within a very 'short tlmo to will the ships to private corporations. In order to accomplish that, tho tlrst duty Is to write the ships down to a price at which they can compete with foreign ships. That price might run. to my view, assuming J200 to be the aver- age price of our tonnage, to one-thir- d or of the amount of the cost of construction written off. Open to Ship Offers. \Then public notice should be given In all parts of the United States as well as on the lakes and In our central States, that applications will be enter- tained from corporations beaded by men of character and standing In the com- munity that the t!oernment will be glad to receive offers for these ships on a basis of payment of from 20 to 33 3 per tent. In cash, the balance to bo paid In half j early Installments extending oer a period of from five to seven years, payable In notes duo every six months and secured by a mortgage over the ship. \.Not more tJutn four directors are to have control of each corporation, two of whom shall be appointed by the Gov- ernment. These are to be mn with a knowledge of shipping who will guar After the War Readjustment Facts 1897 THE' SUN, FRIDAY, antee to the Government that durlrur tho period of deferred, payments the business of each corporation will bo carried on by proper and puro methods. These men will also advise as counsellors the men who, not being trained, will requlro their guidance. \Tho money to be raised by these single ship corporations should be raised from all parts of the United States, preferably In the South, where the de- velopment of ship owning Interests has been practically nil. Tho subscriptions to the stock should be gathered In from the small Investor. Advantages of Oil Karl, With respect to operating costs Mr. Donald nolnted out tho great advan tages that would accrue to American ships through use of oil fuel. He said It might be possible to furnish oil at ports for Jl a barrel, thus cutting the costs of operation. Organization of the association by interested nartles to further the Ameri can merchant marine was attacked by Admiral Howies as apt to have an un- favorable effect. The Admiral said: \I think It most unfortunate that we should now atterfipt to organize any such association as this,\ said Admiral Bowles. \My feeling Is that the Inter- ests of tho various parties already In shipping In the United Btates are well represented by the American Steamship Association. \We should have some unprejudiced body capable of expressing Judgment on this matter, something that wo have not heretofore had. To attempt to control nnd make clear to the peoplo of the United States what the. issues are by Interested parties Is to) doom the project to failure.\ Senator Itansdell. quoting from the resolutions, declared that the platform wast broad enough for any person to stand upon. He announced each mem- ber of the conference was Initiated Into membership In tho organization with- out any further act of his own. Admi- ral Bowles moved to lay the motion to adopt the resolution on the table. Ho was supported by nine mUmbcrs of tho conference.

The amount of the alimony and the custody of Herbert and Harold, tho two young ons, are to be determined later. Justice Faber announced his decision nt the end of a two hour conference In his cham- bers with the attorneys and the princi- pals. Many of Mr. Hall's parishioners from The Bronx and members of the Beecher Memorial Church In Brooklyn, where he was once assistant pastor, were In court ready to testify and the minister was about to be called In when tho court announced Its decision, Justice Faber had placed In the record a sworn statement by Mrs. Hall tr the effect that although she had accused her husband of unmlnlsterlal conduct he had never behaved in an unwarranted manner toward her. A letter which Mr. Hall wrote his wife In September after they had separated was put In record. \Vou have dono everything to crush me and niaHe every effort to get me In Jail.\ It read. \But all of your efforts have failed.
