ARRANGE PROBE 0F STEAMSHIP TRUST Government Files DissOlu-
 ton Suit MONOPOLY IS ALLEGED Action of Government Follows Com prehensive Investigation Into Gen. eral Steamship Conditions.
 Charge Profits Divided
MONOPOLY IS ALLEGED

New York, March 3O.-As another step in the federal government campaign against alleged combination of steamship interests to control ocean shipping. the department of justice filed in the United States district court here today a civil bill against several big companies car rying freight between the United States and the far east by way of the Suez canal. accusing them of violating the Sherman antitrust law. The suit is fe- garded as one of the most important against the so called shipping trust Con gress is about to investigate.
 Alleged Monopoly
 It is alleged that by agreements, and rebates. the defendants have acquired a monopoly of the trade between the United States and the Philippines, Japan, China Asiatio countries, discouraged and pre- vented the establishment of other regular lines and practically destroyed tramp ton mage.
 The government seeks a series of h. junction forbidding this alleged conspiracy and combination and compelling re- storation of competition among all the companies. The court is asked to prevent any of the ships of the defendants from entering or clearing New York or any other American port as long as the al- leged violations of law continue. Pend ing the determination of the suit, the Attorney General requests the issuance of temporary injunctions prohibiting the offenses which he charges.
 Follows Thorough Probe
 Washington. March 30.-The filing of an antitrust suit against several of the big steamship companies transporting freight between the Atlantic coast of the United States to the far east by the Suez canal comes as the result of comprehensive investigation into the general steamship conditions. Alleged pools and agreements covering other phases of American ocean trade are being investigated.
 The charges allege several big steam ship companies have acquired monopoly of the transportation of freight between the United States and the far east by water.
 Under Sherman Act
 | under the sherman antitrust law and sets forth that by means of agreements, pools and conferences freight trade be- tween the United States and the Philip pines. China Japan and other countri $ of the far east has been monopolized. An unlawful combination and conspiracy Is alleged through two agreements, one cor nering the eastward traffic and the other the westward. It is charged that the pool t,.,.~ ma a nPrin6lT1 conferences in London, New York, Hong kong and Singapore.
 Both the eastward agreements, 1t is alleged, divide the traffic between the de- fendant companies; that under the east ward agreement the lines do not compete at all for government contracts, and the profits are divided; that a deferred rate system was maintained under the west ward agreement. Pools are said to exist under both agreements into which the earnings of the steamship lines are placed after the deduction of certain expenses.

ENRAGED HOG ATTACKS FARMER.
Tenant on Thomas Kemp Farm Has
Flesh Torn From Leg.

Thomas Darkis, tenant on the G.
Thomas Kemp farm, near Frederick,
was attacked by an enraged hog on
Sunday morning and piece OF flesh
about seven inches long torn from the
fleshy part of his left leg. Mr.. Darkis
had gone into the field where he had
a number of hogs and had been look
ing for them for some time. Later
he put one foot on the fence and was
looking into an adjoining field, and
while he was in this position the hog,
a large one weighing about 800 pounds,
slipped up behind him and bit him in
the leg, tearing out the flesh.
The hog then showed signs OF light
and Mr. Darkis, a large, strong man
was put to his wits ends to combat
the enraged animal, as it repeatedly
came toward him. Frequent kicks
seemed to have little effect upon it,
and Mr.. Darkis, watching favorable
opportunity, grabbed the animal by
the leg and in some manner succeeded
in throwing it quite heavily. The hog
then ran from him.
Mr.. Darkis went to the house, and
the wound in his leg was about seven
inches i'm length and deep enough for
a person to lay his hand in 1T. DIR.
F. H. Hedges was called and placed a
number of stitches in the wound and
Mr.. Darkis j. getting along nicely and
yesterday was sitting up in his bed.

Only once did the Washington team
appear to have a chance to even
score, and then a forward pass was
intercepted on the 30-yard line and
turned into a Western Maryland

PLACED a sensational game, making
se"4ral long runs, one of s. yards,
while Powers was everywhere on the
defense. Just before the end Of the
second period Bowers broke through
the guard and ran 40 yards for a
touchdown.
The AIarylanders did not score in
the first period, but in the second
quarter started a march to the Catho-
lie University goal. The Westmins-
ter lads were never stopped. The
university put patchedup team on
the field, owing to injuries.
