GOVERNMENT CHARGES SEVERAL
LINES HAVING ENTERED IL
LEGAL CONTRACT
OFFICERS ARE INDICTED

New York, Jan. 5.-The Federal |
government brought suit yesterday
in the United States Circuit Court
under the Sherman antitrust law
against thirteen of the principal trans
Atlantic carriers, which are estimat-
ed to control ninety per cent of the
steerage traffic, worth to them $685.
0Ou, 900 year Twelve officers of the
defendant companies, all residents in
America, are named as co-defendants.
These thirteen companies, the gov
ernment charges, entered into an IL
legal contract February 5, 1908, at
London England, by which they con-
stituted themselves the Atlantic Con-
ference, with power to apportion all
traffic pro rata, impose heavy fines
on members of the conference for
violation of any of the articles of the
agreement and wage competition
against all lines outside the confer
enee. AS result, it is alleged, the
Russian volunteer fleet, plying be-
| tween New York and Libau, was driv-
en- out of business and the Russian
| American line was forced to make
| terms with the conference and enter
/ its membership.

FILE BRIEFS
URGE INCREASE OF RATES JUSTI-
FLED ON ACCOUNT OF GREAT.
Err EXPENSES
Want RATES TO STAND

Washington, d. c., Jan. 5.-Freight
rate construction as whole, and not
with relation to any particular article
of transportation whether it be COM
modify or be embodied in a class, is
the principal issue involved in the in
vestigation now being conducted by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
This is the contention of the counsel
for the railway lines in special classi-
fication, filed with the Commission
yesterday. The brief points out that
it is claimed the carriers have not
discharged the burden of proof, re-
quired by the law because they have
failed to establish an affirmative proof
the reasonableness of the proposed
increase on each specific article or
the many thousand articles, embraced
in the official classification, the rate
on which will be advanced if the ad-
vance in class becomes effective"
This, it is submitted, 'is a totally
erroneous view of the matter. If the
companies have demonstrated, as we
believe they have, that any advance
in the class rates is warranted and
that the advance proposed to be
made therein, are reasonable, then it
| necessarily results that the reason.
ableness of the advance as applica-
BILE to- all articles embraced in the
classes, has been thereby established.
The contention is made that if the
freight charges for the transportation
of any particular article can be de-
monstrated to be too high, that does
not affect the whole class, but merely
means that the classification OF that
article ought to be changed.
1t is urged that, in the view of the
shipping public the rates, prior to re-
cent advances in the wage scales'
were not too high. Some believed
they were too low. Therefore, in the
view of counsel for the carriers, the
considerable increase in operating ex-
penses of the roads furnishes on It's
face justification for the proposed ad-
vance in rates.
1t is maintained that the present
returns to investors in railroad Sc
curities are by no means excessive,
: and that in order to maintain prop
r er credit, it is necessary for the lines
to receive such an operating income
as shall enable them to form re
: spectacle surplus.
i Other briefs for individual lines also
e have been filed with the Commission
;, All of them, in general, take the same
}, ground as that assumed in the genera
l. brief of the carriers.

SPARKLE IS NOT NECESSARY
New York Judge Rules That Any
Kind Of Ring Is Sufficient to
Solemnize Engagement.

New York.-After being taken in
as a son-in-law by the family of the
girl who says he proposed marriage
and having fed at the family board on
"gefulite fisch," "kniedele" and Other
such delicacies until, as he said, his
waist had grown three inches. Eman-
uel Berstein, cap manufacturer, re-
fused to marry Miss Bessie Wallowftx
She is now suing him in the city court
for $4,000 for breach Of promise.
Miss Waliowitz was spending her
vacation In Connecticut when the
defendant wrote her the letter In
which he told how he was "gorma1-
dining" at the home Of her parents.
The plaintiff said that they were 10
be married last fall, and he gave her
an engagement ring. Counsel for the
defendant wanted to know what hind
OF a ring 1t was, and the plaintiff sata
that it was a plain gold ring. The
question arose whether q plain gold
ring could be considered as an en-
gagement ring. Judge Smith then
handed down an opinion that any kind
of ring that was given to solemnise
an engagement was an engagement
ring.

Boston Expert Says the Blind VIII
Yet See and Wornout Hearts
Will Be Repaired.

Boston.-Dr. Maurice II. Richard
son. the noted surgeon. took a very
optimistic view Of the future Of HIS
profession In talk given In the Har-
ward medical school series of popular
free lectures, when he said possibly
the surgeon may yet be able to give
sight to the blind, to furnish hearing
for the deaf, and even to give new life
to a heart that has nearly stopped
beating from valvular obstruction.
He also limited that It is not impos-
sible that some day healthy human
kidneys may by some sort of cold
storage or other preservative means
be kept till needed. and then substi-
tilted by a surgeoa for the wor9-out
and useless kidneys Of some patient,
who may then recover.
He said that whereas cancer is al
ways durable by the surgeon. il he
have the opportunity early enough.
not one In so cases of cancer Of the
stomach and not one in 100'of certain
other kinds of internal cancer reach
the knowledge OF the surgeon early
enough to save the sufferer. The one
thing above all others that has hither-
to defied the surgeon, he said. has
been obstruction OF the circulation Of
the blood, located in either the arte-
ries or in the valves Of the heart, but

For some years I had been bother

CATCH QUEER FISH
Crew of TraWIer Unable to Iden-
tify Specimens.
Little Vessel, Coquet, About Year
Out From Aberdeen, Scotland,
Springs Surprise on Dealers
of Fulton Market.

New York.-Anywhere along South
street may be found old sailormen
who remember the palmy days Of the
square rugged wind-jammer. But the
tribe Of ancient mariners were a bit
put out the other day when they had
to admit that the steam trawler. the
Coquet, almost a year out from Aber-
deem, Scotland, was a new one on
them. As matter Of fact, In her
rusty, blunt bowed way. the Coquet
was considerable surprise to every
one who saw her crawl in past the
Hook and up to her berth at one of
the Fulton Market piers In the East
river
The Coquet and about three thou
sand Of her kind are as common in
Scotch waters as tugboats are here.
but not a memory along South street
contained a picture of steam trawler
In New York harbor before, nor one
on such mission. She had been
trawling about $50 miles of the Hook
for a week, just to see what sort of
fish could be caught in $50 fathoms of
deep blue sea.
Mr.. Craig, the CoQuet's owner, was
on board, and he il what might be
called prospecting fisherman. When
the Coquet left Aberdeen she made
Nova Scotia and fshed on the banks
until winter set in. when she laid up
and was frozen In. After the ice
ioosened enough SO that the crew
could chop her out she began to pros
pect In the waters along the coast
She had about i've tons of assorted
deep sea fish In her hold when she
came In the other day. -Four and three
quarter tons were species with which
Frank Sheeky. her captain. was con-
versant. But all Of Fulton fish mar
ket has been scratching its head, col
aectvely and individually. over the
other quarter Of ton. Fish that were
never heard Of and flsh that were not
even in tho books issued by the bu-
Ireau Of fisheries. comprised that other
quarter Of a ton.
Aside from the originality of a part
Of her cargo, the little Coquet is
somewhat Of a novelty herself. Above
the water she looks dirty, but bust
nesslike, with no cushions In the
wheelhouse and a remarkable absence
Of white painted railing. She is ITO
Feet long. 81 feet In beam and draws
IA feet Of water. Her registry shows
81 net and 174 gross tonnage. When
Captain Sheeky asserted that she had
room for 100 tons of fish and 100 tons
Of coal. everyone wondered where she
put 1t all.

he intends to take the Coquet into
southern waters and try his luck
there. Another obstacle he has to
surmount is the customs regulations
regarding foreign ships entering this
port with a cargo Of fresh fish. In
the catch he has at hand are fuke
and butterhsh, which at this season
are rare.
