PROTEST AGAINST
ALASKAN FINDING
Government Appeals to Su-
prene Court in Trans.
portation" Trust Case.

Washington. Feb. 17.-The depart
ment of justice is making vigorous
protest to the supreme court against
the decision of the United State dis
trict court Of Alaska which set aside
indictments against an alleged Alaskan
transportation trust" on the ground
that before the federal government
could indict for alleged transporta-
tion determinations. the questions
must be passed upon by the inter-
state commerce commission.
The Pacific and Arctic Railway and
Navigation company, Pacific Coast
Steamship company. Alaska Steamship
company. Canadian Pacific Railway
company and others We're indicted un-
der both the Sherman antitrust and
the interstate commerce laws for all
legged combination and discrimination
against independents"
Solicitor General Bullitt, in Il brief
to the supreme court, made public
last night, says that action by the
commission is not by any means q
necessary precedent for criminal pros
ecution by the government under
either statute.
"a moments $ reflection must demon.
strate that prosecutions under tho
Sherman law must stand ON their own
bottom" says the solicitor general,
land that the power of the United
States to indict hereunder cannot, in
reason. be limited by the necessity Of
first obtaining the consent. or approv-
al as 1t were. of the interstate COM
merce commission"
The government must have this
power to indict he adds. or else IL
would be surrendering to the commits.

EXPEDITION FAILS
Second Attempt to Relieve Stranded
Scientists CnSuCreSsfu1

Christiania. Norway, Feb. 17-The
second Norwegian expedition sent to
the relief of the German scientists
in a remote part of Spitzbergen has
not succeeded in its undertaking. 1t
left Advent bay late in January. but
was forced to return to Green Harbor
in Il pitiful condition.
The expedition reached Dickson bay
where a hurricane stopped all pro-
gress. Seven dogs died and several
Of them were frost bitten. Two sledg-
es were destroyed. and for that rea-
son and the loss of the dogs the en-
pedition was forced to leave all pro-
visions except minimum rations

CREY'S ANSWER
NEARLY READY
Rejoinder to Knox's Canal
Toll Note Expected
This Week.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Sir Edward
Grey, rejoinder to Secretary KnoX's
last note regarding the Panama canal
tolls question practically has been
completed and its substance at least is
expected to reach Washington this
week.
It is understood that this last note
by no means settles the controversy.
nor does it contain assurance of an
acceptance of the American PROPOSE
ton to exchange ratification Of the
pending general arbitration treaty un-
der the terms Of which the issue might
be referred to the special commission
of six members proposed to be created
by that convention.
The rejoinder is In fact, said to be a
continuation Of the British argument
in support of the contention that the
shipping of all cations must be on
even terms io the Panama canal. The
arbitration idea is, however, by no
means dismissed, but rather elabor-
ated in this last communication, pos
sibly with the design OF emphasizing
the original British application for that
means Of adjustment. in order that the
British side shall lose no point in the
event of the expiration June 80 next
of the existing limited arbitration
treaty without a substitute. In such
case it is expected that the British
claim will be that by virtue of hav-
ing lodged its application for arbitra-
ton strictly in accordance with the
terms of this treaty and during its ex-
istence. that demand must be recog-
nized thereafter.
The opinion prevails in the state de-
partment. however. that the treaty of
1908 will be extended next June for
another term of five years. This was
done last week in the case of the
Franco-American limited arbitration
treaty which would otherwise have ex.
pired by limitation February 27.
