PROFITS or PRIVATE car LINES.
Armour 4 Co. Could sell Products at Cost
and Clear =. goo. 900 a Year.

WAsHINGrHN. Jan. 3o-Some astonish-
ing figures were produced at the hearing
before the Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce to-day as TO the alleged profits
OF the private cur lines which operate re-
frigerator cars throughout tho United
States.
F. NJ. Ferguson Of Duluth, MINI who
is urging the abolition Of the private car
lines. said the Interstate Commerce Com
mission had reported that the rental Of
the cars paid as mileage by the railroads
would alone be sufficient TO replace the cars
in three years. or return Of SO ID per
cent. per annum cross. on the cost of con
struction.
Senator Elkins desired him TO give his
opinion as 20 what net return was secured
from each car for each day that il was in
operation Mr. Ferguson thought it would
amount to about So a day. Mr. Elllns
said he had estimated il at about 81 pei car
per diem for the 1900 to 1900 cars which
the Armour company alone operated,
and that the cars earned. therefore, S12 600
to Sil 600 every day in the year.
They could sell their products al net
cost, could they mott" he incurred, -and
vet make profit on their business from
the receipts OF their cars
Certainly was the reply. i have
carried out your calculation and find that
il they only run these cars on an average Of
100 DAYS in the wear the Armour company
would clear $4,000 by the operation.

HOUSE CONFEREES ACCUSED
OF BETRAYING THE HOUSE BY
YIELDING TO THE SENATE.
II Was This Sort OF Action. II Was Declared,
That Had Given the senate Its Para
mount Influence In Legislation-Ihe
Post Office Bili Taken Up and Discussed

WASHINGTON. Jan. 30-There was an
unusually fierce outcry against what was
charged to be the treachery Of the House
oonferees In dealing with their Senate col
leagues, and for n time II looked as II the
attack would send the conference report
on the Legi -lative. Executive and Judicial
Appropriation bill. which had been agreed
TO by the Senate. back 10 the conferees for
further consideration.
The attack was led by Mr. Bartlett Dem
Gao who found bis chief ally in Mr.. Robin
son Dem. Ind., and arose over the action
of the House conferees in accepting an in
crease Of the salary Of the secretary Of the
Civil Service Commission from $3.50 to
s. 500 as made by the Senate. after the
House had refused to entertain a motion
to make the increase $3.50 It was charged
that the House conferees had repeatedly
betrayed the House by yielding 10 the
Senate. and that it was this course Of action
that had given the Senate its paramount
influence in shaping legislation.
BY a ma joritv OF the House refused 10
order the previous question on the adop-
ton Of the report. but after discussion 1t
was agreed 10, i7i IN liz.
The Post Office Appropriation bill was
then taken up in committee Of the whole,
under an order limiting general debate TO
five hours The bill. said MIR. OveIstreet
rep. IndA. chairman Of the committee
reporting It. carries a total of $50, 7s1 ,oo4,
an increase over the appropriation for the
current year of s9.935sa5 The deficit for
the current year. is expected 20 be about
$40 500. OC0. and for the year covered by
the bill it was estimated would be sli,-
100000.

entaied large loss upon the Treasury.
BY the LIST Of July next, it had been esti-
mated, there would be 10000 rural routes in
operation All the postage on all classes
of mail matter both delivered upon and
collected from these routes, still left large
balance against the service. The increase
of this postage in the past year had been
only II per cent. This service reached be-
tween 100000 and l5OOo,000 people. and
it was not possible now 10 determine whether
or not rural free delivery would justify
its continued existence,
General debate was then concluded and
the bill went over At 505 the House ad-
iourned until tomorrow.

Comments Of Interested Persons on the
Reef Trust Decision.

CHICAGO, jan. 30.Judge Grosscup when
informed of the decision of the Supreme
Court Of tho United States making per-
m nent his injunction restraining the big
packing companies from entering into a
combination in violation of the Sherman
Trust law, declared that he believed
the action presaged national movement
for the control and supervision by the
nation of the great corporations Of the
future.
Judge c. C. Kohlsaat, cf the United States
District Court said:
There was never doubt in my mind
that the Supreme Court would uphold
Judge Grosscups decisions. 1t seemed
perfectly clear, and don't believe that at
any time there was another determination
likely This decision must be highly pleas
ing TO President Roosevelt, as it opens n
road to great possibilities along the lines
OF a cure for the so-Called trusts
Attorneys for the big packers refused
to make any comment a. to what action
would be taken on the decision until de-
tailed information as 10 the scope of tho
order reached them John s Miller, who
acted as special counsel for the packers in
the proceedings, said.
The order. as | understand It. simply
makes permanent the injunctions restrain
ing the packers from doing business in
restraint Of trade and IN violation of the
Sherman Anti trust law. They have as
sured me repeatedly that they have done
nothing in violation of these laws. Hence

does not accuse them or convict them of
