MERGE SHIP LINES

COMBINE ON OCEAN TRAFFIC
MOST IMPORTANT UNION OF STEAM
SHIP LINES EVER AT
TEMPTED.
COMBINE ON OCEAN TRAFFIC
]. J. HILL IS IN ON The DEAL
UNITED INTERESTS WILL BE
PLACED UNDER AMERICAN
MANAGEMENT.

New York, Jan. 19. - For the past
several month stories a been cur
rent in New York and London TO the
effect that q merger of some of the
Great Britain steamship lines with the
American line would be effected soon
by Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan. The Ley
land line was purchased by Mr..
gan. but as often as stories that the
treat American financier was about
to get control of Ines like the Cunard
or the White Star they were authori-
tatively denied on both sides of the
ocean.
1t may now be stated positively that
within a short time the announcement
will be made of the most important
union of ocean steamship lines ever
before attempted and completed. For
the past few months Mr.. Morgan has
been at work on this matter, and
within the past few days the
Details of the Merger
have been practically completed In his
New York office. This announcement
is made on the authority Of a person
In Wall street who is in a position 10
know what has been going on. AS
those most heavily interested in the
transaction are not ready to make
known to the public what they have
accomplished, the details cannot now
be given. This much, however, maj be
stated: The Americans most intimate
ly concerned in the deal are Mr.. Nor
gan, Clement A. Griscom, president or
theInternational Navigation company
and his associates in the management
pf the company; A. j. Cassatt, presi-
dent OF the Pennsylvania railroad; II.
Fl. Rogers OF the standard oil COM
pany; j. J. Hill, John d. Rockefeller
and william Rockefeller and others OF
the ~snanciers and railroad men who
are Interested with Mr.. Morgan in the
Community of Interest
group OF railroads and in the United
States Steel corporation. From what
has been learned from various sources
the conclusion is drawn that the
scheme involves a union OF the Ameri-
ran-Leyland lines with the freight
lines OF the Cunard and White Star
companies, the united lines to be I'M
der the management of the present
managers Of the American line.
Such q union would clear the way for
the transport OF the European freight
Of the Pennsylvania, New York Gem
trail, Baltimore g. Ohio and other rail-
roads in whose direction Mr.. Morgan
cuts a large figure, by a line of steam
ers practically owned by the owners
OF the railroads.
1t also means that the products Of
the United States Steel corporation
will hav a clear advantage in freight
rates over the products OF all Compel
Ing companies. not only in this coun-
try but in the world.

lncandescent electric light globes,
which peeped out from the green

globe was shaped like an orchid, and

In most cases, however, the ordinary
deafness Of people is the result of ac-
cumulations of wax in the ear. Those
who are troubled in this way should
never attempt to remove the wax

cases Of chronic deafness are caused
by catarrh of the nose, and may be
cured by treatment of that disease.
People should be warned against put
ting anything into their ears, such
