Washington. December 22-Railroad companies and steamship combinations control the regular steamship lines of She United States and have destroyed competition on many of the water highways of commerce, declared Luth- CT Conant, Jr. commissioner of cor porations ina report to President Taft today.
 The revelations of the report, based upon an extensive investigation. force upon the federal government, says the commissioner the consideration of fur ther regulation of joint rail and water traffic.
 In practically all the coast waters of the country, it is declared. railroad or steamship consultations dominate water transportation. Their control of both through passenger and package freight trade is especially striking, says Commissioner Conant, on tie At lantic and gulf coasts and on the Great Lakes Water lines along the eastern seaboard, he adds, have become to a large extent auxiliaries or subsidia- ries of railroads. While competition exists in greater measure on the Pa cifc coast. the commissioner poings out important instances of railroad con trol there.
 A Striking Fact
 It is & striking fact, says Commits sioner Conant. that between number of the more important ports on the At 1antic and gulf coasts there is only a single regular service.
 The New Haven system it is charged, ''has pursued a determined policy of suppressing any effective competition on Long Island Sound and several at least, of its recent acquisitions must be charged as due to this policy Elim- ination of competition also was an inn portant factor. says Commissioner Co., nant. in the New Havens purchase of majority interest in the Merchants and Miners Transportation company.
 The extensive water traffic between New York city and New England ports is almost completely controlled, the re- port adds, by the New Haven road or by the Eastern Steamship company in which the New Haven Is considera- ble stockholder, though claiming to have no voice in the management.
 The Southern Pacific likewise is de- clared to have shown "a disposition to restrict competition" on the Atlantic coast, although it's steamship lines ''are really water extension of that company's rail lines" In addition. the report says, "the control of the South ern Pacific by the Union Pacific Cre- gently dissolved by the United States

Searched for Bodies

The five survivors made a long and thorough search along the shore for their shipmates but no trace of them was to be found. They then started for St. Shotts, the nearest inhabited place, several miles distant. Two Of them were so exhausted from cold and expo sure that they had to be assisted. These two were left at St. Shotts to recuperate, while the others pushed on to Trepassey whence they sent word of the disaster to this city. They are not expected to arrive here before the middle of the week.

Question of ReprOyisiOning Adrianople May Cause
 Rupture
TURKEY ADVISED
 TO CONCLUDE PEACE
Powers United in Their Advice--Fresb Instructions Are Sent Delegates from Constantinople-Mi
 tary Feeling Strong

London, December 29.-The crisis of the peace conference will be reached at the session tomorrow. If the Turks decide to waive their demand for revictualng Adrianople the allies will present (.heir terms for peace. The conference can then proceed to the discussion Of it's real bush ness
 Today the Turkish cabinet met and tele- graphed instructions 10 the ottoman dele gation. All the delegations held confer- enees at their hotels and dispatched long cipher teegrams to their governments.
 The allies oppose the Turkish request for the provisioning of Adrianople not only for the reason that this would give the enemy a great advantage in event of the resumption of fighting, which would not have been earned by arms, but on l technical grounds. and because the dele gates have not the power to reopen miIi- tary questions whirh the Tchatalia com ferees who signed the armistice, cealt with.
 Opening another chapter of warefare is a step which the allies do not invite, but for which they profess to be fully pre- pared. While suspicion exists that the Turks have been sparring to gain time since the conference assemb. 10 days ago. the consensus of opinion Is that the Turkish government will recognize the situation and conclude peace and that the political situation in Constantinople dic- tates that course The advice which the principal powers have been giving 10 Tur- key is in the direction of peace. ] The Bulgarians declare that if the Turks are not ready 10 come to terms. and if none of the powers offers accept- able mediation the allies are ready to re- sume the war immediately with renewed ardor, greater xigor and a deeper feeling that they will achieve ultimate victory because, as they themselves express, it.

Freighter Florence of Fur ness Line Broken Up By

FIVE oSS<vIyoRs
 .ACH THE SHORE
Dead Men Reached Shore But Were Unable to Scale Inaccessible
 Cliffs and Were Forced Back to Vessel By Tide

St Johns, N F., December 22.-Twen- ty-two of the o7 members of the crew of the Furness line steamer Florence. from Halifax. N. $. for St. Johns, lost their lives in the wreck of the vessel on the ledges west of St. Shotts dur ing a gale last Friday Five survivors, who reached land in a boat brought the news to Trepassey tonight. The steamer carried no passengers.
 Captain Barr of the steamer and all his men reached shore after the yes sel struck. but the inaccessible cliffs of St. Shotts prevented their escape. The big tide backed up by the northwest gale, made it impossible to remain there. and all hands were obliged to put back to the ship.
 Captain Barr felt confident that the wind would go down but Second Mate J. Hedley volunteered to take four men in one of the ships boats and seek a more favorable landing place further along the coast In the heavy seas the captain was unwilling 10 risk more lives and. gave his consent to the sec ond mates expedition.
 With great difficulty TIedley piloted his boat along the coast until he saw break in the rugged line of cliffs. Pointing the nose directly into the surf he avoided the outlying rocks and on the crest of great breaker ran in without being upset. Tumbling out has tily 10 avoid being sucked back by the undertow the mate and his four men dragged their boat up the beach and made their way back along the cliff to where their steamer lay. The wind and sea in the meantime had increased The eombers broke continually over the decks of the ves- sel which was riding heavily on the jagged rocks. Hedley and his men searched in vain for some path by which the cliff might be scaled or the crew of the Florence helped. The coast in that vicinity was uninhabited. The few fishermen's huts were deserted for the winter and fIedley had to take refuge for the night in one of these abandoned shacks.
 At daybreak Saturday Hedley found that the wind had been steadily in creasing. Hurrying back to the point off which the Florence lay, he could see no sign of the steamer. Considerable of her cargo of lumber was floating along the shore but no small boats were visible

THE LIQUOR QUESTION
The republican party of Latah
county challenges the sincerity OF
democratic nominees in Latah cOun-
ty on the liquor question. We sub
NIT to the voters of the county that
the legislative nominees on the demo-
cratic ticket do not practice what
their platform prOmulgates, and it
was through no. effort on the part
OF these nominees that the liquor
traffic has been abolished in Latah
county. If the democratic party
in the county were sincere on this
question they should have placed
men in nomination for the legisla-
ture whose lives and acts are con-
sistent with the platform.
We are in favor of such legislation
as will encourage the agricultural
industry of the state. We demand
legislation which will compel mining
companies and other big interests Of
the state to pay their equitable share
OF taxes, and we promise all the a y
sistanLe in our power to further a
cooperative banking law for benefit
OF the farmers, and we believe that
our state grain commission should
be strengthened in the interest of the
grain growers.

unanimous endorsement at a meet.
