The church property, which was once

TRANSPORTATION TRUST
MAY BLOCK PANAMA CANAL
Hawaiian-American Steamship Company Said to Antci
pate Combination to Hold Business by
Reduction of Rates

The danger of the formation Of a
transportation trust to put the Panama
canal out OF business-if ever it gets
into business-is one of the things which
will be suggested in a forthcoming
opinion of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The Hawalian-American Steamship
Company is under suspicion of being the
basis of this trust. This company oper-
ated vessels on both the Atlantic and
Pacific, running on the Atlantic from
American ports, to connect with the
eastern. and on the Pacific with the
western end, of the Tehuantepec rail-
road across the narrowesJ part of Mex
leo. This railroad has been in operation
less than two years. is about l50 miles
long. and is, except the Panama rail-
road, the shortest trans continental
route across America. Il is controlled
by the Mexican government ard some
recent Investigations into the business
which. in conjunction with the Ha-
" aiian-American Steamship Company.
IS conducted by this road have led to
remarkable conclusions.
Evidence of Arrangement.
In short it Is intimated that there
has been discovered evidence of an ar
rangement between this railroad and
steamship company, by which the
transcontineatal roads OF this country
have agreed that She Mexican ROAD and
connecting boat line shall have all the
business they require at their present
capacity provided they shall not in
crease that capacity and shall not fur
Their Interfere with the busiaess Of the
all-rail routes in this country.
Two Investigations.
There have been two Investigations
lately Of these questions. One has been
conducted by J. L BristOw. former AS
sIstant Postmaster General, and direct
ed especially at the Pacific Mail steam
ship Company. The other represents
the work Of the Interstate Commerce
Commits sion, incident to inquiries into
general aspects OF the question Of trans
continental rates.
Mr.. Bristow has found evidence, II is
stated, that the Pacific Mail company,
closely connected with the Hartman in
terests. IS not furnishing enough facil-
tiles TO handle all the business that
would willingly go 10 the Panama route.
II IS stated positively that he viii rec
ommead that the Government put IN
service a line Of boats TO connect with
the west end Of the Panama railroad,
and handle freight between that ter
mInal and the big Pacific coast cities
OF this country. In no other way In
his opinion, Is the shipping public like
ly to be given the benefit OF the low
rates and quick service which this route
assures.
