I Tg& J.T.BAILEY'S FUNERAL WILL BE HELD TUESDAY Head of Bailey, Banks & Biddle, Noted 'Jewelers, la Dead of Pneumonia SHIP BOARD HOLDS DESTINY OF PORT Philadelphia's Munition Shipping Value Well Known to Committee ADMIT ITS ADVANTAGES The fate of the port of 1'IillJdelphla as a means nf gettlne munitions nnd supplies to Kurope economically and riulckly now rests In tho hitml of th three men who composo tho committee on ship control of the United State Shipping Board. These men have been told by Philadelphia's i (preventative how easily the facilities of tlls port can he used to accelcrato the movement of cargoes to Uuropo. Tho ship-control committee consists of P. A. S. Franklin, president of the International Mercantile Marine : Sir Connop Guthrie, head of tho Allies' Shipping Hoard, nnd H. H. Kaymond, a leader In New York shlpbulldlnc nnd controller of that port under tho Ship ping Board'H nppolntment. All three hao admitted tho excellent railroad, pier and harbor facilities of fered In tho port of Philadelphia. Sir Connop Iibb even declined that his Government tho British Ie now ready to ship more poods than herctofoia through tills port. Both Mr. Raymond and Mr. Franklin hao admitted the advantages of Philadelphia. Tha ship-control committee members havo been given tho power by the United States Shipping Board to send thin whero they will In ports of tho United States. They are rcfponstblo now for the. efllclcnt and rapid handling of freight consigned to the battlefields of Kurope. ltallroad Director General Mc Adoo has promised co-operation In get ting the freight to designated (seaport Tho Army and Xavy Departments havo made similar piomlses. Men working for proper utilization of the port of Phil adelphia Fay nothing stands In tho way of this committee carrjlng out Its work to the best advantago of tho nation. Philadelphia has facilities to handle at least BO per cent more cargoes than havo been asMgned her In tho last sev eral months. Mayor Smith, through George S. Web ster, Director of Wharves, Docks nnd Ferries, Has placed the arguments for Using this port before tho railroad ad ministration and the United States Ship ping Board. Similar action' has been taken by tho Chamber of Commerce through Its Foreign Trado Bureau. Tho Commercial Emergency Committee on Transportation of the Allied Trado Bodies of Philadelphia has entered the fight with a request to Mr. McAdoo to have the Shipping Board send ships here to relievo tho eastern freight con gestion which evolved from trying to cram nil cargoes through the port of New York. Mr. Franklin was visited by A. Homer Smith, repnsentlng tho foreign trades bureau of tho Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Franklin was urged to visit this port and to bring tho other members of his committee with him to seo for them selves the advantages of shipping through It. No reply lias yet been re ceived from Mr. Franklin. The foreign trades bureau of the Chamber of Commerce will meet tomor row to develop plana for carrying Its campaign for the use of Philadelphia before the committee on ship control. The port of Baltimore has shared In part with the port of New York In being allowed to handle war shipments. All arguments that might be used for use of the port of Baltimore to relieve New York would be only the stronger In the case of Philadelphia. Baltimore and New York are virtually the same distance from Philadelphia, Arguments havo been advanced by New York shipping Interests that the convoy system of tho navy would not warrant ships sent to New York being diverted to Philadelphia. Tho same ar gument has not been used In tho caso of Baltimore, which Is just twice the distance south of New York. The Merchants and Manufacturers' Association and other Baltimore organi zations foresaw last summer what would be the result of constant shipping through New York. They went to tne western shippers and showed them how Baltimore could be used, to advantage. This created a habit that has been fol lowed up by the Government.
