SOUTHERN PACIFIC
 HELD RESPONSIBLE
TAFT AND SHoNTS CLAIM THE RAILROAD IS THE CAUSE OF THE CONGESTION ON THE lsTH- MUS.

Washington January Exchanges by Secretary Taft and Chief Engineer Shonts of the isthmian canal commission that the Southern Pacific railroad is responsi- ble for the freight congestion on the isth- mus of Panama, formed the most inter- esting development of four hours hear ing today on canal affairs before the de- ficiency subcommittee of the House committee on appropriations.
 The Southern Pacific railroad controls the Pacific Mail Steamship company ac- cording to the statements of the Secretary of War, and MT. Shonts who says that since the abrogation of the freight agree ment between the Panama railroad and the steamship company the latter is dila- tory in calling for San Francisco freight on the west side of the isthmus. It is charged that steamers frequently refuse to stop to take on freight, and leave port only with a partial cargo, while great quantities of freight lie on the wharves.
 It was suggested by several members of the appropriations committee that the Pa- eihc Mail Steamship company might be induced to act more promptly if the uni- ted States were to threaten to cut off mail contracts with the company, and other members urged that the eoastwlse ship ping laws are inadequate to punish any neglect on the part of the company. Secre- tary Taft was summoned before the sub committee to make explanations concern ing estimates for canal expenses, includ- ed in the additional appropriations of $l,- 5O0,0O0 sought in order to continue the canal work until the present of the fiscal

HARVARD TABOOS
 WAR ON GR|D|RON
Football as Played at Present
 is Abolished
GAME IS THOROUGHLY BAD
Such Drastic Action on the Part of the Harvard Board of Overseers Was Entirely Unexpected In
 Athletic Circles.

Boston, Mass, January 15-Football has been abolished at Harvard pending re- form in the game that will be acceptable to the board of overseers, according to an official announcement today from the university.
 The discontinuance of the game is a re- suit of a vote taken aAst week at a se- cret meeting of the board of overseers, when 1t was decided that intercollegiate football at Harvard would not be permit ted until the rules and regulations had been changed and so amended to re- move what the overseers regard as the evils of the present game. The overseers accepted unanimously the opinions of a special committee that the game as at present played Is essentially bad in every respect; that the method of formation encouraged trickery and foul play, and that the result Is bad for the morals of the players as well as for the body.
 The committee declared that if changes of the so-called intercollegiate committee should have hand In it. the committee believing that these persons are so far committed to the present system they cannot agree to such changes as are ab- solutely necessary to produce decent, clean, pleasurable contest, instead of the present apology for rough and tumble fight"
 Football is a fine game when properly played" said the committee, but the present method is thoroughly bad, and ought to be stopped absolutely and final ly"
 Whether the reform in the rules can be arranged and accepted in time for the resumption of football next season is problematical. Some determined action by the board of overseers had been an- ticpated in Harvard athletic circles, but the radical attitude of abolishlng the game altogether caused great surprise among students and graduates

Washington. January 15.--In an opinion by Justice White the supreme court of the United States affirmed the decision of the United States circuit court for the Dis trict of South Carolina, in the case of the state of South Carolina vs. the At lantic Coast Line.

The de- cision was against the state on the ground that the charter was in the nature of con- tracts,

QUESTION NOT PENDING.
Hadley Files Brief Before Justice GIL

New York, January 15.-Attorney Gen. eral Herbert s. Hadley of Missouri de- clared in a brief which was submitted to Justice Gildersleeve in the New York state supreme court today. that the ques- ton of the materiality of such questions as he asked H. H. Rogers in the Standard oil hearing in this city is not now pend- ing in the Missouri supreme court.
 The brief was filed in answer to a con tention by Standard Oil counsel that the New York state supreme court ought not to decide whether Mir. Rogers shall be compelled to answer MT. Hadley's ques- tion because practically the same question is pending before the Missouri courts. The questions are whether the stock of the Standard oil company of Indiana, the Waters-Pierce Oil company. and the Re- public oil company are held by the same person or corporation.

May Support Germany.

London, January 15.-The Associated Press is advised that Ambassador White, representing the United States at the Mo- roccan conference at Algeciras. will sup port the German contention both as to the "open door in Morocco and as to an international commission to control the policing of the country. It is suggested this may make the adoption of the Ger man view probable. particularly in the light of the fact that Prussia has shown marked indifference to the appeal of France for support.

LIBERALS STILL

 two Seats.
LABOR CANDIDATESSTRONG

London, January 16-The liberal land slide continues. Out of seventy-six con- tests today the liberals and laborites to- gether secured forty-two seats.
 Two former cabinet officers went down before the storm of liberal sentiment. Gerald Balfour who was president of the local government board in the Ball. four cabinet, was defeated at Leeds by majority of 1869, and Walter Dune Legg former chief secretary for Ireland, lost his seat for South Bristol, while Augustine Birrell, president of the board of education, defeated the unionist can didate at North Bristol.
 Lord Hugh Cecil, leader of the conserva- wich, and Gibson Bowles, unionist free trader. lost at Kings Lynn, both being opposed by Chamberlainites.
 Aside from the overwhelming gains by the liberals throughout the country, the immense majorities secured in the turn over are causes of surprises to both sides.
 The labor candidates are showing re- markable strength, the total gains of the labor party today being seven, not in- cluding one socialist, W. Thorn who at Westham defeated the unionist candidate, Sir J. c. Nutting by majority of 5000
 The composition of the new parliament up to the present is as follows:
 Liberals, 95.
 Unionists, 3l.
 Laborites, IT.
 Nationalists, IS.
 Socialists, 15.
 The total liberal gains number sixty four, the gains made by the laborites being classed among the liberals.
 Twenty-one London districts voted to- day. Out of these hitherto unionist strongholds the unionists only succeeded in securing five seats
 Three members of the new ministry were returned today by strong majorities Herbert John Gladstone, secretary for domestic affairs; President of the Board of Education Barrill, and James Brice, chief secretary for Ireland.
 The attorney general Sir J. Lawson Walton, also received large majority.

Germany Will Be conciIiatory.

Algeciras, January 15.-Q1:15 p. m.)-The German envoys will enter the conference with instructions to take up a modest attitude, insisting upon nothing, even proposing nothing, unless 1t shall be the wish of the other members or the con ference. In the latter event, Germany will put forward a plan of collective ac- tion toward Morocco, worked out under the principles agreed upon in September with France-that is. for a permanent open door, including equal industrial and financial privileges for all countries, the territorial integrity of Morocco, and the independence of the Sultan, with adminis- trative reforms, for which all the powers participating shall have identical respon- sibility
 The German plenipotentiaries will be strenuous upon nothing except that no one power shall obtain an international guarantee for predominance in Morocco, and as France Is understood to be ap- preaching the conference in the same spirit an adjustment of differing views is considered highly probable.
 Sultan Will Delay Matters.
 The principal cause of delay is likely to be due to the Sultan, to whom the report of each session must go. As the Sultan does not use telegraphic ciphers, these reports must go by courier to Tan gier and thence overland to Fez This is the reason for holding the conference here, because were 1t held at Madrid the delays would be increased.
 When the Duke of Almovodar was ques- toned by the Associated Press tonight he said:
 Spain in the past has feared nothing from France and fears nothing now, as the French-Spanish agreement regarding Morocco abundantly protects Spanish rights there''
 The Associated Press received the im- pression from the conversation with the duke that Spain would squarely support France.

His strength was very low but he seemed to indicate determination to fight the disease to the very last.
 Although the area of congestion was still confined to one lung. early today the long strain had made great inroads upon MT Fields strength and heart stimu- lants were administered.
