Washington. December 1S-Secrc-

nation complied by the government
which. In the opinion OF Mr. Knox,
would justify legislation to provide a
graduated means Of meeting various
determinations by foreign countries
against American commerce. Thc
Senator has framed bill culcuint ted
to meet the situation. as Ii arises.
The problem" said Secretary Knox,
"is to provide for the REMOVAL. SO far
az practicable. of such features In

In the opinion of tho department.
thiS problem may be solved through
the medium OF an amendment to sec

whereby may be afforded q suficlent

OF tariff rates suited to the oncnscs

secretary Knox cited some of the
more important instances TO which the
attention OF the State Department has
occn called. but which properly may.
not be considered as falling under the

they were permitted to remain. Since

other Instances have developed in the

FOREIGN SHIPPING
TRUST UNDER BAN

Washington, December l5.--Sta rtliug
charges against the so-callcd foreign
shipping trust" were made before the
House Committee on Rules to-day by
Congressman Humphrey. of Washing.
ton, who appeared in support Of his
resolution providing for a shipping
trust investigation.
Mr. Humphreys resolution provides
for the appointment of Joint com
mittec OF the House and Senate to
probe the comb!na ton. and he present
cd mass of documentary evidence 10
show the existence OF a trust"
More than 90 per cent. of our over
seas commerce is carried by foreign
ships that belong to pools, combines
and conferences" said Mr.. Humphrey.
Between the ships in these combines
there Is no competition. and both pas
senScr and freight rates are fixed in
advance by agreement. Rates for Eu-
ropean transportation arc fixed by
agreement In Germany. and rates for
South American transportation arc
made in New York. All South Ameri-
can and Pacific lines practice the
deferred rebate system.
The combine between here and Sou,h
America Is & complete monopoly. 1t
gives an inefficient service. Its freight
rates are the highest in the world. and
its vessels. Irregular. slow and anti
auated"
Mr.. Humphrey charged that the
stecrage business from Europe Is d.
Tided along the various lines by
agreement.
II seems TO be an almost idle per-
formancc. he concluded. for Con-
gress to spend SO much of its time try
ing TO regulate and control domestic
trusts when we so complacently permit
this combine Of foreign ships, n trust
Weather and more powerful than the
STANDARD OIL ever was. TO absolutely
dictate freight and passenger rates
upon the ocean and very largely upon

committee OF New York importers will

She waued across and tramped four
miles until she came to an old lumber
camp. when she saw deer jump. In
stantly her rife rang out. but as she
threw in Il second cartridge she noted
the deer was still running other shots
followed in quick succession, and the
deer vanished over n knoll.
When she came up she found a nine

telltale crimson on the snow indicated
that another deer also had been hit
and a few steps farther she found n

Banquet Given in Honor of Speaker
HanIey of House of Representa-

The citizens OF Mandan, prospect

cred at Hotel Nigey at Mandan last
evening to do honor to their fellow
citizen, Captain James Hanley, who
has recently been elevated to the
position of speaker of the house OF
representatives of the twelfth legis
lati,'e assembly of the state of North
Dakota, when they gathered to the
number of over 100 1t a banquet.
The event was characterized as the
most rousing demonstration of pub.
lie approval that has ever occurred
in the city across the river.
3. w. Shaw was the POSTMASTER
of the occasion and the following
program of toasts was given:

The banquet was arranged jointly
by the Mandan Commercial club and
the Morton County Bar association,

it has been honored in having one
OF their citizens elected to the re-
sponsiEle position as head OF the
house Of representatives.
