Says Amendment Needed.

Mr.. Root said many of the proVlS-
ions of the bill were far more import
ant than the court of commerce pro-
vision. He thought, however, that the
bill should be amended in some re-
spects.
Mr.. Root spoke of the success of
the present railroad rate law. saying
the president of the greatest railroad
corporation in his state had told him
he would not turn his hand over to
have the law repealed Notwithstanding
when the bill of 1906 was before con-
gress, Washington had rung like a
boiler shop in opposition to it.
But. satisfactory as the law might
be as a whole, many controversies
must arise in it's administration and
for their adjustment there Should be
an expert court.
Defending the provision of the law
making the government the defendant
in all appeals from the orders of the
interstate commerce commission, Mr.
Root said under the present law the
shipper is not represented. The only
change made was placing the conduct
of the case in the hands OF, the attor-
ney general. But he thought the bill
should be amended SO as to permit the
representation of the shipper in al
cases in which his interests might be
involved.
DO you believe asked Mr.. Cum
Minis, in a case not supported by the
attorney general the court could cal
upon a representative of the ship
per?''

such an exigency but spoke Off hand

Pool Will Be
Sued ShOrtlu

WASHINGTON, Mar. 30-Suit in
equity under the Sherman antitrust
law is to be instituted by the depart
ment of justice against what is known
as the European steamship pool on the
restraint of trade.
The fact that the vessels owned by
the steamship companies forming the
pool, or a number of them, touch at
American ports, is the basis for pro-
ceedings under the Sherman law All
the steamship companies involved in
the proposed proceedings are foreign
concerns.
A federal grand jury investigation
at New York. it is said, developed that
the pooling arrangement embraced the
transportation Of both freight and pas
sengers. On the American side Of the
Atlantic it was charged that the agree
ment had it's ramifications in rebating
by railroads..
The investigation is said to have de-
veloped a case embracing the whole
service of the immigration traffic from
every country in Europe. The opera
lions of the pool also, it was charged,
seriously interfered with the work of
American steamers lying at American
ports awaiting cargoes, the foreigners
undertaking them and getting the
traffic.
While the government cannot bring
suit to dissolve a foreign corporation,
it may institute proceedings affecting
its operations as practised on Ameri-
can territory and can secure an in
junction to stop illegal acts.
When the government first started
an inquiry last autumn into charges Of
violations of the Sherman law by the
pool, the case involved a few steam
ship lines and railroad companies in
the United States having their eastern
terminals in New York city.
AS the investigation progressed its
scope broadened considerably. with
the result that the operations of three
great steamship pools are being looked
into. Five indictments were found,
according to report which includes
the resident officers of one of the lines
under investigation. The government
first heard of an alleged agreement
with the railroads in this country 10
the west; the trade was supposed TO
be confined to salt fish from the north
ern ports of Europe. Later it was as
certained that immigrants as well as
merchandise of nearly all kinds were
handled the same way.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81
Some of the upstate folk In New York
have been. for good many years,
watching their farm lands go to grass
and at the same time have seen hun
dreds of thousands of farmers pass
through these lands for crowded cit
les where their usefulness is lost ana
where they usually become bad cltlz-
ems Last wear nearly 100000 immi
grants entered the Ellis Island, ma
ioritv of whom were of the farming
element of Europe
Representative John w Dwight, at
a dinner given recently to Secretaries
Nagel and Wilson, asked these gent
lemen why New York state cou d not
draw these men to its farms Nagel
told them there was a federal bureau
of information to direct foreigners to
farms where ever requested. This bur
eau he said would cooperate with the
state.
But Dwight says New York is not
satisfied with such cooperation and SO
will establish a bureau of its own to
push immigration to these districts.
The bureau will have its headquarters
in New York City and will keep in
constant touch with the farmers and
small towns. Secretary Wilson laud-
ed this plan and said he hoped soon
to see it followed by other states.
Secretary of War Dickinson. being
cal ed to the senate wing of the capt.
toll on business, was surprised to find
in a big upstairs corridor a model of
the Canal Zone 10 by 20 feet in area.
All the points of Importance in con-
nection with the canal work We're
marked and it was a graphic and in
teresting presentation of Uncle Sam
big job on the isthmus.
In trooped a capitol guide with a
bevy of chattering, blithesome lady
tourists and ranged therh ~ front of
the zone model. Then he tod what
he knew and guessed the rest about
the construction of the canal while the
man who is building it, his identity
unknown stood by, an interested spec
, tator. A suspicion that the distin-
guished looking citizen was a rather
knowing part grew on the guide and
the fear seemed to possess him that
inaccuracies in his description on the
canal work might possibly be ca led
to the attention of his patrons. So the
voice that at first rang out boldly falt-
cred, and the lecture was soon brought
to an end. The canal builder then
quietly resumed his inspection of the
model.

A year and a half ago Young shipped

told by the railroad agent that would

the shipment was held up at Amarillo,
on a demand for an additional $26, for

live stock was neither fed or watered
nor was it allowed to be unloaded
Finally, Young paid the additional

missed to refund it but have not done
so. He says that many other emigrant
outfits going into the southwest por-
ton of the United States are being

He charges the following roads as

Nashville; the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific; the Chicago, Rock Island
