meet with the three ports of the west
San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.
They run through the great wheat
states of the middle west, through the
coal, steel and cotton districts of the
east and south and reach every i'm
portant terminal on the northern lakes
and Atlantic seaboard. Today this
committee of seven American citizens,
more powerful than any congress or
parliament in the world, is reaching
for the supremacy of both sea and
land.
Sixteen steamship lines and forty
four railroad systems! On land mile
age of 10S, 500 and on sea tonnage of
100000! Three hundred of the largest
steamships in the world and 10000 of
the best equipped passenger and freight
trains! Such is the outfit of the new
worldwide transportation trust con-
trolIed by seven men and practically
operated by one-J. Pierpont Morgan.
The railway mileage controlled by
this trust is greater than the combined
mileage Of Great Britain, Russia, Ger
many, Spain. Holland and Belgium.
and the 300 vessels which will sail I'M
der it's orders cannot be duplicated
from the merchant marine of every
ocean.
/ 1t will soon be impossible for tramp
steamers to deliver freight at any
American port without being at the
mercy of the new trust. The three new
piers now being built in New York city
between Twenty third and Little
Twelfth streets and which will cost
$S,000.000 have been asked for by
Clement A Griscom. the head of the
new steamship trust.
1t was recently stated that a thou
sand tramp" steamships were laid up
in various ports of the United States
and Great Britain by reason of the
dearth of freight. Shippers predict that
.''the tramp stea mship must go" now
that the ship trust has been organized
and federated.
The total capital stock of the rail
roads of America is over $4,000, 100000.
Consequently it is not an exaggeration
to say that Mr.. Morgan's transporta-
ton trust of railroads and steamships
has total financial strength of $4.500,-
10000, making it the richest and most
powerful industrial combination that
the world has ever known.

No one has been more annoyed by
the ghost than Mrs. Rose Stahlsmith, a
widow living in rear apartments on the

did not move was that she took advan-

At an early hour this morning Mrs.
Stahlsmith was awakened by a rafting
