SUCCESS OF BEEF TRUST.
It is Declared to Be Due to Exclusive
Contracts,

E. NJ. Ferguson of Duluth, Minn repre-
senting the Retailers and Shippers Asso-
clat1on, continued his statement before the
Senate committee on interstate commerce
today. He made especial complaint OF the
secret routing agreements Of the railroad
companies operating in the fruit centers OF
the west. This arrangement enabled The
railroads to select lines without consulting
the shippers, and Mr.. Ferguson said that
loss and inconvenience often resulted to
perishable goods. He charged discrimina-
ton by the railroads in the interest Of the
Armour private refrigerating car line COM
pany, saying that the charges of that COM
pany were often double those of the rail-
road lines themselves. This, he said, was
due to the exclusive contracts which the
Armour company had been able to procure,
and he asserted that the organization and
success of the beef trust were traceable to
these contracts.
IL reply to questions, Mr.. Ferguson ex-
pressed the opinion that the railroad Of
fcials were interested In the private car
companies. but that the railroad compa-
nies themselves secured no benefit from
the arrangements with the companies.

ham Hoch to Martha HarZfeld in Chicago.

MANINGToN FOR COLLECTOR.
Senator Foraker Confirmed News From
This City.
ltch TO The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. February 3.-Senator
Foraker has confirmed here the news from
Washington that he had indorsed Howard
Warrington of Drbana for the office of coll
loctor of customs in Columbus This will be
the first time If Warrington gets it, that a
person living away from Columbus has held
the office. and there is local grumbling at
the result.
The senator and Lieutenant Governor
Harding conferred upon the Ohio situation
here last night, and Foraker leaders from
all quarters of the state were here to give
information as 10 the sentiment upon the
question OF Mr.. Hardins's candidacy for tie
nomination for governor against Governor
Herrick.
Many of them advised against It, saying
that their organization could not be held to
the support of Harding as against Herrick
at this time. The result is that no definite
statement could be given out this morning
as TO whether Harding would make the race
Or not.
The impression prevails that he will re-
main a passive candidate, doing nothing TO
secure the nomination more than to voice
his opinion that the nomination of Governor
Herriek would be. under the circumstances
dangerous to the party.
Senator Foraker added nothing to his
political statement made at Cincinnati on
Monday, and Lieutenant Governor Harding
only said that In their conference Senator
FORAKER ard himself had the success of the
party this year. and notsny ones ambitions
and personal interest, under consideration
In view of the results i'm several republican
states last fall. where. in spite of the fact
that the party had an unusually popular
national leader. candidates for governor
that were not so unpopular as Governor
Herrick were badly defeated He thought
1t behooved the republicans of Ohio to be
circumspect in this ON year."
