WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.--The house
provision in the naval bill that no part
OF the appropriation for powder should
be paid to any trust or monopoly "ex-
cept in the event of an emergency" was
the subject of considerable criticism in
the senate today.
winking the public and would not
really affect the purchase of powder to
any appreciable extent was charged by
Senator Cummins. He said he under
stood the navy department under this
provision would buy from others ex-
cept the trust only powder for loading
shells and such powder compared with
all the powder used by the government,
he said. was so small as to be almost
beneath notice. He charged the house
with an intention OF deceiV1ng.
IF that be true" Cummins said,
I'VE have here a bill which has been
heralded to the world as one which
prohibits the United States from buy
ing powder from combinations in re-
straint of trade. while. in fact, it con-
tains no substantial limitation what
ever"
Senator Stone suggested the Dupont
from which powder could be obtained.
SO" said the Missouri senator, the
powder trust is the sole source of our
supply except so far as the govern
ment itself manufactures powder at
Indian Head"
Several senators made suggestions
respecting amendments that may be

needed by the navy In government fac

made for 43 cents a pound.

Competition to

FEDERAL LINE TO
PANAMA OPPOSED
Merchants Assert Privately
Owned Steamers to Isthmus
Would Afford Relief
Especial Dispatch to The CALI


CALL HEADQUARTERS, CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 15.-The traffic bureau of
the Merchants exchange of San Fran
cisco is making an effort to have the
assembly amend the joint resolution by
Sanford, which was passed by the SEN
ate, asking for the establishment of a
government line of steamers on the Pa
cif1c coast to insure relief from the
increased rates of the transcontinental
railroad lines and the noncompetitive
Pacific Mail.
The Merchants exchange wants the
resolution changed so that it will ask
government aid in opening a private
line on the Pacific between San Fran
cisco and Panama, or, in the event of nc
such line being secured, the establish
ment of a government line.
PRIVATE LINE PREFERRED
I'VE prefer private line to a gov
ernment line" said Attorney 7. c
Friedlander for the Merchants ex-
change this afternoon before the as
sembly committee on federal rela-
tions. we believe a private line would
be more effective in securing relief fol
us. A delegation recently called upor
Secretary of War Wright in Washing
ton and he said he was averse to put
ting on a government line on the Pa
cific. / do not think the Pacific Mai
has ever given US the competition we
have deserved. If the government were
to establish line it would not seri-
ously compete but might cause the Pa
cific Mail to go out of business. The
only competition we have now is by
the railroad at Tehuantepec."
Il have the information that lot o.
heavy shippers in San Francisco are
now getting rebates" interjected AS
semblyman A. NJ. Drew, who later sale
he had no definite information to tha
effect
"On interstate business I do not be
lieve any rebating is being DONE re
piled Fredlander.
A. L. Scott, also of the Merchants
exchange said that the Pacific Mai
was not satisfactory and that a pri
Yate line could not exist between Sar
Francisco and Panama in case the gov
ernment put on line, but he added
that the government did not want Il
put on a line.
COMPETITION LACKING
Attorney Seth Mann and John Har
ron, also Tor the MercnantS exchange
urged that the resolution be amended
so that it would apply to privatel.
owned line as we'll as to a government
line. They referred to the fact tha
the Pacific Mail did not compete will
the transcontinental lines, but operated
in connection with them.
The committee, after going into exec
utive session, voted to recommend IA
vorable action on the resolution, despite
the request of the Merchants exchange
that a meeting be held at a later date
when the committee could have knowl
edge of the action taken at a meeting
to be held in San Francisco next Thurs
day to consider whether or not there II
enough business for an Independent
line such as Bates and Cheseborougf
