TAFT MAKES SERIOUS CHARGE

Washington, Jan. II. - Charges by
Secretary Taft and Chief Engineer
Stevens of the isthmian canal COM
mission that the Southern Pacific
railway is responsible for the freight
congestion on the isthmus of Panama
formed the most interesting develop
ment of q four-hour hearing yesterday
on canal affairs before the deficiency
subcommittee of the house committee
on appropriations. The Southern Pa
cific Railway company controls the
Pacific Mail Steamship company, &C.
cording to the statements of the secre-
tary Of war and Mr.. Stevens, who say
that since the abrogation of the
freight agreement between the Pan
anna railroad and the steamship COM
pany, the latter has been
Dtlatory in Calling
for San Francisco freight on the west
side of the isthmus. 1t is charged
that steamers frequently refuse to
stop to take on freight, and even leave
port with only a partial cargo, while
great quantities of freight lie on the
'wharves.
1t was alleged that the motive for
this course on the part of the steam
ship company was SO to hinder the
handling Of materials for the canal
delivered at Colon by the steamships
operated by the government from
New York, so that shipments would be
necessary over the lines of the Pacific
Mail from San Francisco.
Scheme Is Effective.
That the blockade had had this ef-
feet was asserted by Chief Engineer
Stevens, who said that several car
goes had been shipped via San Fran
cisco and over the Pacific Mail line
for this very reason. Shipments will
go this, way unless an end can be put
to the blockade
It was suggested by several men,
bers of the appropriations committee
that the Pacific Steamship company
might be induced to act more prompt.
,ly If the United States were to threat
en- to cut off mail contracts with the
company.
. Secretary Taft was summoned be-
fore the subcommittee to make ex-
plantations concerning estimates for
canal expenses included in the addi-
tional appropriations of $500, 900
sought in order to
Continue the Canal Work
until the end of the present fiscal
year on June 80. Secretary Taft was
accompanied by Chairman Shonts of
the canal commission, Chief Engineer
Stevens, s. F. Benz, general auditor,
and David F. Ross, the general pur-
chasing agent of the commission. All
of these officials assisted the secretary
in answering the questions of mem
bers of the subcommittee and making
clear the estimates.
Representative Tawney, chairman
of the appropriations committee, and
other members of the subcommittee
said aftet the hearing that they were
convinced that the estimates of the
secretary of war and his assistants
had been made with great care. There
is little disposition among the mem
bers of the subcommittee to save the
estimates, which the committee re-
garded svery moderate.
