The Packers, the Railroads
And the Poultry Dealers
4 Disc|aim Responsibility for
High Food Prices.
Very General Increase in the Past
Ten Years Reported to Senate.

New York, Feb with the grand
i,,rv and prosecutor of Hudson County,
n. Y. investigating the food situation
as affected by cold storage reserves
and the service of the common carriers,
both the railroads and the New YORK
Poultry and Game Trade Association
came out today with explanations or
their part in the higher cost of living.
All the railroads from the West nave
their freight terminals in Jersey CITY
(Hudson county, and most of the pack
ers have their slaughter houses and
cold storage plants adjacent to the
freight yards.
The freight agents Of the LackaWan-
ma. the Erie, and the Pennsylvania
Railroads, and the managers of Swift
& Cos. plant and three other refriger-
ator houses testified today before the
grand jury. Incidentally, it developed
that the United states government is
the principal customer of the Union
Terminal Cold Storage Co. of Jersey
City. one of the largest plants under
Investigation. The proprietors said to-
day that they believe the supplies so
stored are used to feed the various
garrisons near New York.
James Brady. superintendent of Swift
e. Cos. plant. at which the grand jury
Yesterday found 100000 pounds of meat
in storage besides large quantities of
tripe. liver and sausages, said that if
he did not receive daily shipments from
the West he would not be able to sup
ply his trade for As hours. An allega-
ton that the storage houses have been
removing large quantities of eggs since
the investigation into their methods be-
gan is under investigation. One COM
pany is said to have 36,O00,000 eggs in
reserve.
Representatives of the Eastern rail-
roads issued tonight statement in
part as follows:
AT a time when active efforts are
being made to fix the responsibility for
higher prices it should be made plain
that the railroads have not been in any
way responsible for the increase in the
cost of living. They have been the
victims of high prices without bene-
fitting from them at all. If beef, pork,
flour or any other commodity costs
more now than it cost 10 years ago.
not even the fraction of cent can be
charged to transportation. Railroads
are heavy purchasers of everything on
the market from steel to butter and no
in price than a railroad corporation.

Greytown lies on the east coast of
Nicaragua and is the principal seaport
of the republic. Its trade consists
mainly of hides, bananas, cocoanuts
rubber, mahogany and tortoise shell.
The harbor o. Greytown once was the
best in Central America. The town has
a population of about 1000. Most of
the property there is owned by British

The Bath Times of Jan. 26 had the
following regarding the kentucky:
Win Tacoma as her destination, the
steamship * entucky rounded Sandy
Hook on Sunday. She will be one Of
the few steamers that have circled the
twin continents since the round-the-
world trip of the battleships. Despite
the fact that she is only Of 996 tons

her way pluckily down the coast and
expects to pass the treacherous and
tortuous Strait of Magellan as sue
cessfully as the best of them.
She was launched at Bath in 1897
as the Lincoln. and was afterward re-
named the Martinique. Later she was
in the Joy Line service as the Ken
lucky, and has just been rebuilt, with
new engines, for the Alaska Steamship
Co, to ply between Tacoma and Nome.
1t is expected that the voyage will
take approximately two months, as
the steamer expects to call at several
ports on each South American coast.
When she sailed from the Hoboken
yards of William A. Fletcher & Co., 1t
had not been definitely settled wheth-
er she would go through the strait or
around the Horn. The weather will be
a factor in deciding this. She carries

A. R. WANTS SUIT
| DISMISSED
HARTMAN LINES COUNSEL SAY
GOVERNMENT is WITHOUT A
CHANCE TO WIN IN THE DISCO
LUTON CASES.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Stating that
the government can not win the suit
for the dissolution of the so-called
Hartman lines, instituted at Salt
Lake City two years ago, the ruling
spirits of the railroad interests have
| made clear their attitude to officials
here. They want the pending suit
discontinued.
This, in short, was the character OF
the representations made to President
Taft and several of his advisers at
the conference at the White House
Monday by Judge Robert S. Lovett
president of the Union Pacific and al
lied Hartman lines, and his asso-
ciates.
The statements made by the rial
road officials will be followed by
carefully prepared written data set
ting forth fully the contention of the
railroad interests. A ttorney General
Wickersham and Frank G. kellogg,
the government trust buster" will
prepare memorandum for the pres
ident, arguing their opinion on the
propositions submitted
The attitude of the administration
cannot be stated positively. 1t is said
however, that material concessions
will have to be made by the railroads
from the stand they have taken If
they hope for any relief from the
government, unless their contention
that the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific lines are not competitive with
in the meaning of the statute is ac-
cepted by the government.
G. A. Severance, principal counsel
for the government in the dissolution
suit, is expected in Washington, when
he will fully explain to the attorney
general and to Mr. Kellogg the po-
sition of the government.

State Commissioner of Horticulture
Huntley, whose report shows that in
the year 1909 there were planted in
this state 100000 apple trees, ma
king a grand total of about 10000
600 apple trees in the state. Mr..
Darlington quoted eastern authorities
to show that eastern growers are TAX
ing renewed interest in apple cul-
ture and that an effort is being made
to get the eastern growers to adopt
improved methods in the growing of
fruit. Mr.. Darlington's idea in this
was to show that in order to have
the west successfully compete with
the east that the fruit here should
be of superior quality. Said he:
In the near future we will see
the tide turn and instead of a steady
decrease as we have seen in the last
thirteen years we will see the apple
production of the United States
steadily increasing. We will see it
increase steadily from 100000
barrels this year (which may or may
not be the low mark) back again to
100000 barrels. Yes, it will prob
ably go beyond and / do not know
how long it will take.
Il say again. though, that there
will never be an overproduction of
good fruit, but I do say that fruit
will be sold more and more upon it's
quality, and I do say, that there will
be an over production of the lower
grades. There is, even now, an over
production of inferior fruit, as l can
show you from innumerable clippings
from trade journals. Whatever we

Mr.. Winslow took occasion to say

selves upon living in country where
there is more respect for law than
there is In the United States.
Concerning the horticultural sub

of the state of Washington along the
lines of horticultural and agricultural
and it is for the purpose of stealing

that we are here"
