SHIP COMBINE is
Barred BY PROBERS
coastwise Competition Prac-
ticaIIy Eliminated and Agree
ments Exist, They Declare.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Chair-
man Alexander, of the House snip
trust investigating committee, max
ing public the first three volumes OF
the committees proceedings today,
declared they contained evidence that
competition between coastwise lines
had practically been eliminated and
that all established lines from Ameri-
can ports were in agreements"
In the domestic trade" said Mr..
Alexander, agreements between
steamship lines to regulate eompeti-
ton do not play nearly so prominent
a part as in the foreign trade. But
numerous methods may be used to
accomplish the same purpose, and
the committee lis aware of at least
thirty which have been, or are being
used. to control competition between
water carriers in the domestic trade.
These agreements govern nearly
all the regular lines operating in
various branches of the American
foreign. trade to Europe, Africa,
south America and the Caribbean
districts.
practically all the lines serving
h=.h .hc Atlantic and Pacific sea
boards of the United States are
members of conferences or work in
desperation through written agree
ments or oral understandings.
This summing up of the evidence
represents the viewsrof the chairman
and probably will bes the basis of the
final report of the committee with
its recommendations Formal con-
sideration by the committee may not
be possible before the December ses-

FIRE AT BREWERY CAUSES
EXCITEMENT IN SCHOOL

Pupils in the classes on the south
side of the Belmont Avenue School
were thrown into excitement shortly
before the noon recess today, when
sixty-foot pipe on the side of the
Kruger brewery, across the street
from the school, became enveloped in
a sheet of flame. Several youngsters
left their books, despite the efforts OF
the teachers to quiet them, and ran
to the windows to witness the novel
sight.
The flame was caused by an over
heated pitch oven in the brewery

of the four-story building. William

department, sent in an alarm, bring

Before it arrived, however, the brew

Absolve All in
MarcOni Scandal

LONDON. June 13.-British cabi-
net ministers were today absolved by
the parliamentary committee from all
blame in connection with the scan
dals alleged to have surrounded the
contracts between the British gov
eminent and the Marconi wireless
company.
The report of the parliamentary
committee which investigated the al
fair was issued today. 1t declares
that there is no foundation for any
of the charges made against Attor-
ney- General Sir Rufus d. Isaacs,
Chancellor of the Exchequer David
Lloyd George. or Postmaster-G General
Herbert L. Samuel.
The committee finds that all the
ministers concerned acted through
out in the sincere belief that there
was nothing in their action which
would conflict with their duty as min
listers of the crown.
The report in conclusion strongly
condemns the publication of charges
which were absolutely untrue and
which those responsible for their cir
culation had no reason to believe
true. 1t is understood that there will
be minority reports, but these have
not yet been made public.
Unionist public opinion describes
the committees report as white
wash" The Unionist press and pub
lie are showing great resentment
against Sir Edward Carson and Fred
erick E. Smith, two of the Unionist
leaders, for having associated them
selves with the exoneration of the
cabinet ministers by acting as coun-
sci for Godfrey Isaacs, managing
director Of the Marconi Company and
a brother of Sir Rufus Isaacs, in the
recent libel case against Cecil Ches-
| terton.

IT don't know how long we had
been standing on the switch, but l

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE

LONDON, June 1S.-Pay-day on the
London Stock Exchange in connection
with the worst settlement since the
occurrence of the American crisis
produced two small failures in addi-

Some assistance had to be given in
other quarters. but considering the
huge differences which had to be met,
the market was rather pleased that
no further difficulties had come to
light. 1t is believed that the trouble
is now over. The tone of the marker
was again cheerful this morning with
prices generally higher.

that In the vast interior of Brazil and

incognita, whose mysteries and posi-
bilities have for many years inspired
the minds of scientific men and adven-

will not be considered an impossible
ity until rendered so by the foot of the
explorer pressing the soil of every
nook and Granny of the earth.
Recently Sir Conan Doyle, that
master of logical and scientific lit
erature, founded an intensely inter
esting tale upon this very theme, and
located the scene In almost the very
locality this expedition Is about to
explore. 1t would be a wonderful
coincidence If to any degree whatever
this expedition should discover any
supposed extinct birds or animals,
and especially if it should reveal the
existence of human life far lower in
the scale of development than any
thing yet known. The lure of the
unknown to the adventurous and the
scientific has been irresistible since
history began. Without it man would
have made little progress. 1t has
sent men to their death in strange
quests all over the world. 1t is this
year sending three expeditions into
the Arctic, one into the Antarctic and
this one to the very heart of the
equatorial unknown, to say nothing
Of the explorers and adventures in

ence and adventure have discovered
at the cost of great sacrifice, man has
used and is using In the development
of his civilization and the building of
his social system. They are the
pioneers of the upward path.

But large number of the New York |

common laundries, wherein only lin
