These ships total about 110, 000 tons and nre valued at $4,000,000 Half of them are In this port and the others scattered about other Brazilian ports. With two exceptions all these ships are nt liberty to put to seaiit any time. Ever since Brazil's protest to' Germany over the submarine blockade attention has been focused on the German ships by persistent stories that several of the Interned essels were waiting a favorable moment to mako their escape. Anchored in an open part of the bay, well under the surveillance of tho harbor's forts and tho Brazilian fleet, these fourteen ships form a listless and desolate group.

Is an easy guess however that the Prussia did not risk capture by British cruisers on a mere pleasure trip, and that some raider tlilp benefited In supplies during her dis appearance. Another ship that broke the monotony of Interment by venturing into the open was the Kdenberg. which, after twenty days of lying Idle, sailed for Santos, where she never nrrlved. One month later tho Edenbcrg returned calmly to Rio, dropped her anchor and landed the crew and passengers of the Indian Prince, which had been sunk by the German cruiser Kron prlnz Wllhelm, which Itself Interned later In a North American port.

Bedford Sprinca C. i.j isajwidwdj.,; rHAimW f ttSMBttto " AGAINST PENDING BILLS ii Measures in Legislature Increasing Pi lotage Charges and Regulating Elec trical Licensure Opposed The Chamber of Commerce hag recorded Its opposition to a bill before the Legislature which proposed an lncreaso in the pilotage charges for the port of Philadelphia. The Chamber has also protested against the passage of a bill which provides for the examination, license and registration of persons, copartnerships, associations or corporations engaged In tho business of electrical construction In cities of the sec ond and third clans. Tho protest against the pilotage charge bill points out thnt the ten per cent Increase proposed Is discriminatory ngalnst the port of Philadelphia In that It makes the rates for pilotage higher than those charged for similar service a( nil other ports nlong tho Atlantla Coast. One reason for objecting to tho measure for tho licensure of electrical contractors Is that thero Is no provision In It for electrical work being Installed by Phlladolphlnns out side of the city of Philadelphia. In other words, this bill would prohibit an electrical contractor in a city of the first class from doing work In a city of the socond or third class, becauso thero Is no provision In the bill for licensing the Philadelphia contrac tor.
