ON ORIENTAL TRAFFIC
Hartman Ocean and Rail Lines
Accused Of WrOngdoing.
SIX INDICTMENTS FOUND
Pacific Mail Steamship Company and
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
Charged With Making Rates 6elo"
the Published Tariff.

San Francisco, Sept. 28.-Accortling
to a report in circulation here six IN
dictments have been found by the fed
eral grand jury against the Pacihc
Mail Steamship company and the
Southern Pacific company. In these
indictments the names of Edward ii.
Hartman. John C. Stubs and r. p.
Schwerin, 1t is understood, are men
toned. The indictments, it is said,
embrace 140 counts and relate par
ticularly to violations of the law on
shipments from the Orient through
the port OF San Francisco to Chicago.
The particular instances in which the
law is said to have been violated re-
late to shipments OF mating from
Kobe to Chicago, these shipments be-
Ing very heavy and numerous during
. number OF months of the year.
A special agent of the interstate
commerce commission has been on
the Pacific coast for several months
and also In Japan investigating these
shipments and how the Pacific Mail
and Southern Pacific have been max
ing rates lower than the published
tariff on them at various times It is
the making of lower rate than the
published tariff on which the indict-
monts have been based.
Southern Pacific officials are said to
have admitted that prior to the en-
forcement of the new rate law they
had not been strictly living up to the
three-day notice provision OF the old
law because OF the impossibility oi
doing so and retaining their share OF
Oriental shipments to this country In
competition with foreign lines. They
insisted, however, that since the new
law has gone into effect they have not
made any lower rate than the pub
lished one This, 1t is claimed, Is
the first time in the history OF trans
pacific traffic through this port thai
