STRONG PLEA MADE
FOR STEAMSHIP LINE
Senate Committee Shown Need Of
Government Shipping Service on
Pacific Coast-Wheeler
Leads the Fight

WASHINGTON. Feb. 10.-Hearings
were begun today before the senate
committee on interoceanic canals on the
Flint -McLachlan bill providing for the
establishment of a government-owned
steamship line on the Pacific coast eX-
tending to Panama.
Pacific coast men maintained that
the Pacific Mail Steamship company
maintained its Panama line almost
solely in the interest of the transcon-
tinental rail routes.
William r. Wheeler, chairman OF
the traffic bureau. of the merchants
exchange of San Francisco; Seth Mann,
attorney for the bureau, and Bernard
n. Baker, formerly president of the
Atlantic Transport line of Baltimore,
We're the principal speakers. There
were also present officials of the Ha-
waiian-American steamship line and
representatives of Pacific coast COM
mercial bodies.
Several representatives alleged that
the Pacific Mail Steamship company
was almost wholly owned by the South
ern Pacific railway, and that its Pana-
ma line was maintained chiefly for the
purpose of diverting business eastward
over continental routes The vessels of
the Pacific Mail company were con-
demned sweepiagly as antiquated and
the service as poor
Practically all of the speakers said
they preferred that the government
should engage in the water transporta-
ton business rather than to have no
competition.
Mr.. Wheeler made a detailed state
ment of the saving to the government
that would accrue if articles could be
shipped from western producing plants
in government-owned vessels to the
isthmus of Panama.
He declared that California products
used by the government were now
transported by rail across the United
States and shipped from New York to
the isthmus. He said cattle were
shipped from Nevada for slaughter in
Chicago and meat products carried on
by rail to the Atlantic seaboard for
shipment to the isthmus.
Government-owneds steamships on the
Atlantic coast, it was stated, were saw
ing the government much money every
month.
At an afternoon session the commit
tee heard Richard r. Rogers, general
counsel of the Panama Railway COM
pany, in defense of the action of Sec
retary of War Dickinson in acceding
to the demands of the Pacific Mail
Steamship company for a larger slice
of the joint rate made on through
business.
For many years the Pacific Mail
company received 80 per cent of this
joint rate, but is now getting 70 per
cent. Mr.. Rogers said the company
threatened to sever it's relations with
the railway unless the increase was
granted. He declared that would have
meant a loss to the railway of at least
million dollars a year.
AS no other company was willing to
undertake the operation of ships to
the isthmus, he said it was necessary
to comply with the Pacific Nails de-
mands.
The hearing will be resumed to-
morrow.

DIVORCE CASE HEARD
IN W0MAN'S BEDROOM
Court Is Transferred to Whittier to
Consider Suit of Mrs. Sarah
A. Lemon

Department three of the superior
court. the divorce court of Los Ange-
les county was transferred to Whit
tier yesterday afternoon, the session
being held in little bedroom of the
home of Sarah A. Lemon. Mrs. Lem
on's suit for divorce from her hus-
band, William S. Lemon, was heard
by Judge Houser several days ago,
neither Lemon nor his wife being pres
ent. Testimony corroborating the al
legations made in Mrs. Lemons COM
plant was given by the children of
the couple, and it was explained Mrs.
Lemon was an invalid and unable to
attend court. Several pathetic features
of the case impressed Judge Houser
and he went to Whittier with clerk
and stenographer yesterday to hear
the woman's story from her own lips
to get a record of the testimony.
