William T.. Humphrey of Seattle. rep

member of the committee on rivers and

Commercial Club last night on the al

Discusses Steamship Trust.
The government a few days ago com
menccd suit against the foreign steam
ship trust because of its action in eff
crence to the carrying of steerage las
senSers.
This trust has fixed the passenger
rate. divided the business and pooled the
profits. 1t dictates what amount of
business shall pass through particular
ports. 1t heavily fines any of its men,
bers who violate any Of its rules. 1t
combines not only to fix rates, but to
destroy all competition.
This monopoly of the sea that is prey
ing upon our commerce includes practi-
cally every foreign vessel on the ocean,
10th sail and steam. Today the rate
that every passenger must pay between
here and Europe and between here and
South America is fixed in advance by
agreement between the various confer
ences in Jena, Germany. The rate that
every passenger and every pound of
freight must pay to cross. the ocean from
any of our ports is fixed by agreement
by the ships composing these conferences.
Classed as Gigantic Combine.
This combine of foreign ships is the
most gigantic trust the world has ever
known. The commerce of this country
is absolutely at its mercy.
''All these companies throughout the
world give rebates and other special
privileges. In order to secure these re-
bates the customer is required to sign
the most ironcIad agreement to obey all
the dictates Of the combine. and not 10
patronize or favor any other line.
"All these lines give special rates to the
giant corporations of this country. These
determinations are such that they eff
fectually prevent any competitor in this
country or any corporations from COM
peting with them in foreign trade.
Not only do these foreign combines
dictate the rate upon the ocean, but
they dictate the rate upon the land. They
dictate the ports through which interior
freights shall pass, and the steamship
line and railroad upon which they must
be carried

A UNIQUE QUESTION RAISED
COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANTS
CHALLENGES JURISDICTION
OF JUDGE BoRDWELL
STATE is TAKEN UNAWARES
UNEXPECTED MOVE is MET BY
MOTION TO DIsALLoW THE
PLEA ADVANCED

Los Angeles, July 6.-The defense
IN the Mcnamara dynamite conspira-
cy case sprung a surprise today when
John Mcnamara, the accused Indiana
labor leader, and his brother, James
Mcnamara, were called into Judge
Bordwells department of the superior
court.
Both men were summoned to plead
to nineteen charges of murder, the
result of the destruction of the Los
Angeles Tin es plant on October l,
1910. In addition John ]. Mcnamara
was expected to plead to the charge
that he had conspired to destroy the
Llewellyn Iron Works.
Instead he challenged the jurisdic-
tion of the court, claiming that it had
10 right to exact a plea or to try him
on either the nineteen charges of
murder or the Llewellyn Iron Works
because he was extradit-
ed from Indiana, not for murder, but
for alleged dynamiting. The move
plainly surprised the prosecution.
A motion for the quashing of the
Indictment was made only in the case
Of James B. Mcnamara, who entered
no plea whatever, holding that the
indictments against him should not
stand because the grand jury was
biased, and because Earl Rogers, who
acted as a special district attorney
to aid the inquisitors during the in
vestigation, had previously been ac-
tive on behalf of the Times and Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
during the search for evidence.
The prosecution met the move (
The defense with a motion to disallow

STATEHOOD Hinges
ON A CONTINGENCY
NO VOTE THIS SESSION UNLESS
ADMINISTRATION FEARS
POLITICAL UPHEAVAL

Washington, July 6.-There will be
10 vote on statehood for New Mexi-
co and Arizona at this session
congress unless the administration
becomes convinced that delay will
throw New Mexico into the ranks OF
the democratic states; a contingency
which those here not blinded by ia
tuous partisan prejudice say is high
ly probable if the administration
forces carry out their program of try
ing to let New Mexico in without
Arizona. There is little doubt that if
New Mexico's admission is delayed
until 1912, she cannot come in then
without Arizona. The outlook for
both is extremely dubious, unless a
vote is arranged for at this session.
