Conspiracy Is Denied

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-That the
Lehigh Valley railroad is in a con-
spiracy to stihe competition by raising
coal prices was denied today in the
United States circuit court by Frank
H. Plat of New York, one of the com
pany's attorneys.
He declared that whatever combina-
tion of anthracite coal carrying rail
roads existed was simply to aid trade
and benefit the public.
PIatt's argument was in answer TO a
strong arraignment of the so called coal
trust by James C. McReynolds. spe
cial attorney for the government, who
declared that six railroads had con-
spired in a twofold way to suppress
competition in the anthracite region.
Through the Temple iron company they
controlled much of the output of coal,
and, by tying up independent opera
tors by the "65 per cent contract"
they took away the last hope of rea-
soma bie priceS

William R. Wheeler Cites Own
ership of Pacific Mail as
Sitting Competition

WASHINGTON, Feb 22.-William
r. Wheeler former assistant sec
rotary of the department of COM
merce and labor. now manager of the
-traffic\ bureau of the Merchants asso-
citation of San Francisco, closed the
public hearings on the administration
railroad measure before the house com
mittee on interstate commerce today.
Wheeler made an argument in favor
of a clause prohibiting railroads from
owning stock in competing water car
riers. He cited the instance of the
ownership of the Pacific Mail steam
ship line by the Hartman interests.
which, he said, had the result of
sitting all opposition to the trans
continental railroads by way of the
isthmus of Panama

man Mann will urge that features of
his bill, not included in the adminis-

Hearing Before Senators

Several hours were again devoted by
the senate committee on interstate
commerce today to listening to Attor-
ney General Wickersham expound his
views concerning amendments to the
Interstate commerce law.
Members of the committee were so
much interested in what he had to say
that they invited him to come back
again tomorrow. 1t is not expected
that the bill win be reported until late
in the week.
Every phase of the railroad rate
question touched on by the admins
tration measure is receiving attention,
and practically all members of the
committee have taken part in the eX-
animation of the attorney general
Supporters and opponents of the bill
alike agree that Wickersham's views
will be helpful in debate after the bill
is reported to the senate.
While majority of the committee
will vote to report the administra-
tion bill with few changes, it is prob
able that Senators Cummins and Clapp,
and perhaps one or two democratic
members, may dissent and bring in the
CumminS bill as minority report.

Abolish Absolute Veto

The government, he continued, was
bound to bring to a final issue it's pol
icy of dealing with the house of lords
and for the abolition of the absolute
veto power of the second chamber. If
there were to be a crisis and deadlock,
however, they could not come too soon.
The policy of the government was to
place the proposals before the house,
so that the decision of the members
might be taken thereon.
James Keir Hardie, president of the
independent labor party, protested
against any attempted reconstruction
OF the house of lords, as the laborites,
he said, did not believe merely in de-
stroy1ng the veto power of the lords, a
relic of feudalism and an insult and
outrage upon democracy.
But, as the labor party could not
get its own way, they would accept
the second best course and support the
governmentFfn getting rid of the veto.
He hoped that the government would
make the passage of the budget con-
tingent upon the veto bill going
through, and he urged the government
to refuse the supply as a means of
forcing the lords to agree to the aboli-
ton of their own power of Veto
