Condolences From Canada.
SUCCESSOR TO hoYr.
Mr.. Pepper to Report on Canadian
Reciprocity Treaty.

The death of Counselor Hoyt will not
operate to delay the progress of the ne
gotiations between the United States and
Canada looking to the conclusion of the
reciprocity treaty. 1t is true that Mr.
Hoyt had no opportunity, owing to his
sudden and unexpected death, to COM
municate to Secretary Knox the detailed
results of the conference at Ottawa be-
tween himself and Mr.. Pepper on the
one hand and Minister Fielding on the
other But Mr.. Pepper is thoroughly ac-
quainted with conditions. He will be
able to supplement the brief verbal re-
port he has made to Secretary Knox by q
more detailed report, as well as to con-
tinue the negotiations when the parties
meet in Washington i'm January next.
OF course, in view of the very recent
decease of Mr.. Hoyt, no consideration has
yet been given to the selection of an
other person to cooperate with Mr.. Pep
per in the negotiations.

Up, MORGAN'S HAND
SEENAT RATE HEARING
Furniture Manufacturers Say
George W. Perkins Suggest
ed Their Appearance.

The spectre Of the influence of the big
banking and railroad securities firm OF
]. p Morgan & Company of New York
on the testimony Of shippers was injected
into the hearing today Of the freight
rate increase case before the interstate
commerce commission.
This surprise of the day was sprung
by Attorney Frank Lyon of the COM
mission, who induced witnesses repre-
senting the big furniture industries at
Grand Rapids. Mich, to say that their
appearance was at the suggestion OF
George W. Perkins Of the Morgan syn
dicate which dominates many of the rail-
road interests in the country.
The significance of this testimony, In
connection with that of witnesses that
while they opposed the pending advance
they would not object to gene raj in
crease of rates throughout the country
was that stories recently had been cir
culated indicating q plan OF the rail
roads to thus commit the shipp,rs and
then bring about a uniform increase OF
rates applying to the country as a
whole. The propaganda thus instituted is
in harmony with testimony given recently
by pr, sident,s of several big railroad
systems bearing upon the need OF the in
crease in order to enable them to make
Improvements.
Opposed by Brewers.
c. J. Bertschy of Milwaukee, traffic
manager of the Schlitz Brewing Company,
testified that the advance would result
in $17251O additional expense to them
He said there were no special risks in
Transportation Of beer. Asked as to how
closely his company was affiliated with
the Union Transit Company, Mr.. Bert
schy said the SchlitZ concern had no
financial interest in the refrigerating COM
pony. but that it simply had call on
their cars"
Mr.. Bertschy spoke for the brewing
interests, for whom a number Of wit
nesses had been called. About dozen
witnesses were present to testify to the
loss the advances would cause their re-
spective brewing and furniture interests.
W. H. Gay testified that $s,O00O0o was
invested in the forty-fve furniture fac
tories at Grand Rapids whose annual
sales aggregate $12,OOo,OOO.
Prompted by Mr.. Perkins.
Mr.. Gay admitted that his appearance
here as witness was at the suggestion
of Mr.. Perkins. He testified that while
opposed to the present proposed increase
he would have no objection to general
freight increase if applied by the rail-
roads uniformly throughout the United
States.
Stewart Fcote of Grand Rapids also
testified that Mr.. Perkins had suggested
his appearance at the hearing and that
he would not object to a general increase.
Mr.. Lyon asked the witness concerning
the interest of Mr.. Perkins in the mat
ter. Mr.. Foote said that Mr.. Perkins
had suggested that the manufacturers
and shippers would be welcome at this
hearing. but did not attempt to indicate
what position they should take.

It obtained control Of the Collins Wire
less Telephone Company, the Pacific
Wireless Telegraph Company. the Clark
Wireless Telegraph Telephone Company
and the Massie Wireless Telegraph Com
pany. The Columbia Finance Corpora
ton was organized to market the stock,

carried on all over the country.
The Collins Wireless Company was or
ganized in the District of Columbia with
a capitalization of $1,O0O.OOO. The capital
stock Of the Clark company was $25, Co.,
600; that of the Pacific S1O,OO0,OOO, and that

Claimed Big Contracts.
The complaint filed with the court
charges that the literature of the Con-
tinental Wireless Telegraph and Tele-
phone Company represented to investors
that all it's subsidiaries were companies
in good standing; that the Collins Wire
less had contracted in April last for the
equipment Of eighteen ships; that the Pa
cific Wireless had established q large busi-
ness on the Pacific coast, and was ex-
tending it. and that the continental
Wireless Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany as a money Garner stands without
q parallel" whereas, in fact, "all these
representations were false, and made only
to defraud Altman and other investors"
