WOULD BAR TRUST
SHIPS FROM CANAL
Bill in House to Keep Vessels
in Combine Out of
Panama.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The first
result of the investigation of the So
called shipping trust by the House
merchant marine committee appeared
today as bill by Representative
Humphrey. of Washington, to bar
from the Panama canal all American
or foreign vessels in combines or
conferences"
Witnesses have told the committee
that practically all vessels in the
American Atlantic coastwise trade
operate in agreement and that the
foreign lines in the trade between
New York and South America, South
Africa, Australia, Japan. China, the
Philippines and India have rate and
sailing date agreements and rebate
and pooling agreements.
THE evidence already produced at
these hearings" declared Representa-
tive Humphrey today as he presented
the bill to the House, "has fully
demonstrated that the foreign steam
ships which carry our commerce are
guilty of every charge made against
them The United States is a mere
way station for these foreign-owned
lines, and the freight and passenger
rates charged from this country to
other parts of the world are fixed in
Europe. The evidence has also de-
veloped the fact that these foreign
combines intend to monopolize and
control the trade through the Panama
canal"
The committee heard from Joseph
T. Lilly. of Norton Co. of New York,
more about rate and sailing date
conferences and pooling agreements
between lines in the trade between
New York and South Africa, Aus
tralia, Japan, China, the Philippines
and India Some lines represented by
his firm the witness said, were in this
conference. The Norton Line, in the
New-La Plata trade. he said. was not
in the Conference" although it's re-
lations with the conference lines
were friendly

Elmer Ellsworth Brown, of New York
University. is a place where young
men who can afford it learn to spend
time in a gent1emanly way and where
young men who cannot afford it do
1t in the same way.
I'm not declaiming against the
play spirit in college," continued
Chancellor Brown, whose subject was
Work and Play at College, but is
it not possible to get the serious just
as well as the play spirit? 1t is of
equal Importance"
President John Grier Hibben, of
Princeton University, lauded Rutgers
for it's Dutch stock. What we need
today in our politics, business and
religion" he said, sis little more of
that Dutch stubbornness and strength
of convictions. A tolerance that holds
fast to old traditions is peculiarly a
heritage of the Dutch people of this
country. AS we go forward in our
progress we are not to leave the past
behind us, but to take it with US for
our inspiration"

POSTMASTER UNDER FIRE
SUICIDE BY DROWNING

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-Word
reached Washington today that DR..
Charles X. Austin, who disappeared
after a trial before Assistant
Postmaster General Granfield, had
drowned himself in Byesville, o.,
where he was postmaster.
The charges against Austin were
filed at the time Of the primaries.
Affidavits set forth that he. had used
harsh language in characterizing the
President, and he was brought to
Washington last Saturday for trial.
His apparent CONSERVATION, together
with his vehement protests of inno-
cence, convinced Granfield that Aus
tin was suffering from some mental
disorder and the defendant was told
that the charges would be held in
allegiance and he was ordered home.

PUJO COMMITTEE
MUST HALT PROBE
Banks Doubt Its Power and
Question Must Be
Settled.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-Hearings
Of the House money trust committee
will be suspended next week, Friday
or Saturday, according to an an
nouncement last night by Representa-
tive Pujo, chairman of the commit
tee, who assigned as the principal
reason for the suspension the doubt
cast upon the power of the committee
to inquire into the internal affairs of
banking institutions.
This action" said Representative
Pujo in a statement explaining the
announcement, 'ls due mainly to the
doubt cast by the banks upon power
of the committee to inquire into their
internal affairs and especially to
their refusal to disclose the names
of individual loans and borrowers of
upward of S1.000,000 which would af-
feet only thirteen institutions In the
United States.
without this information and in
the absence of means of ascertaining
the character of the business done by
the banks that have made huge pronts
in a comparatively short time, 1t is
manifestly impossible for the COM
mittee. to ascertain whether, and il
SO, to what extent, these banks and
their funds have been and are being
used by the great financial interests
In the furtherance of their schemes
or to the exclusion of competing bust
ness
In announcing the suspension of the
oral hearings Chairman Pujo points
out that there are still upward of
forty witnesses on the committee S
list who have not yet been examined
and many important subjects bear
ing on the inquiry that have not been
touched upon.
1.-THE banks" he said, "curiously
regard even the character of their
assets as secret information that they
are entitled to withhold from the
scrutiny of this committee.
. "It would require at least three
months after access to the banks is
granted the committee in which to
gather the data for further oral tes-
timony, from which it is manifest
that even if the bill were now passed
nothing in that direction can be ac-
complished in the present Congress"
