WASHINGTON Jan. THE house
merchant and marine committee be-
gan its probe of shipping today, delv-
ing to ascertain whether shipping
trust" dominates commerce to and
from the United States. Numerous
witnesses, mostly owners or agents
of foreign and domestic shipping
lines, were on hand to testify. The
investigation, which will probably
continue for a month or more, will
endeavor to discover the inner work
ings OF every phase of the water traf-
fic combine over seas and on the in
land lakes and waterways.
Methods OF foreign and domestic
lines engaged in foreign commerce in
fixing rates; their connection with
railroad Ines; warehousing firms;
towage fleets and lighterage compan-
les, will be thoroughly sifted.
Special efforts will be made to dis
cover just what interest the great con-
tinental lines have in the big over
sea freight and passenger carriers,
and to what extent foreign nations
have subsidized or may own any ves
sells engaged In foreign commerce
Following the oral hearings recon-
mendations for remedial legislation
will be sent to congress.
The workings Of the alleged Brazil
Ian shipping pool, controlling all ex
ports including coffee out Of Brazilian
/! ports, formed the first phase of the
4 investigation The hearings on the
Brazilian situation with its relations
/ to the alleged coffee combine will con
sumo at least week.
Sidney Storey of New Orleans, pres
ident of the defunct Mississippi Val
LEY, South America and Orient Steam
ship line. and ex-presifent of the Pan
anna American Steamship Company
was the first witness today. He tes
/ titled to alleged boycotting Of his
line to Brazil harbors.
Storey prefaced his testimony by
relating the history of the Mississippi
I Valley, South America and Orient
Steamship line which he started in
1910. Previously he had visited Bra
zil and received from the government
warm commendation and promise
of support. This pledge was made In
a formal communication, the witness
said, and Brazil later sent two ENJOYS
to investigate the new line.
In June, 1911, Storey said the fina
plans Of the steamship company were
approved by the Brazilian congress.
In June, 1912, the Panama-Americar

William R. Rathvon delivered lee
ture on Christian Science at Eggan's
hall last evening to large audience
He was introduced by Attorney Frank
L. Moore, who. said in part:
"To the casual student of history a
distinguishing feature of the Christian
era is the restlessness Of man. This
condition, no doubt, is due in part to
the injunction of the Saviour: go we
into all the world and preach the Cos
pei" and it seems that the earnestness,
zeal and perseverance of the evange-
list has inspired every walk in life
with an ambition and an effort to reach
out into the unknown for something
more, something better, and we call
this era an age of education and en-
lightenment in all the affairs of hui
manity. In proof of this witness the
marvellous achievements of man in
electricity, mechanics, aeronautics and
all the other sciences.
But here he is met with the con-
flicting though that man has not
equally advanced in religious attain
ments. 1t is true that there have been
dissensions and differences, but they
are all as to form of worship. The
object of religion has always been the
same-the development or upbuilding
of spiritual man.. 1t remained for the
nineteenth century to produce genius
in the person of Mrs. Mary Baker Ed
dy, to read and interpret Gods law as
applicable to the physical as well as
the spiritual being of man. She teach
es that God must be acknowledged as
superior in the physical realm as well
as in the spiritual, and upon this
principle she founded the Christian
Science church. The Christian Science |
church of Moscow has brought here |
Mr.. William R. Rathvon, of Colorado, |
a member of the bureau of lectureship |
of the Mother Church, who, for lit
tie while this evening, will discuss
with you the workings of Christian
Science and its results"

and perhaps they have. But they
should know that it does not come
| from the hand of God. Sin brings it's
own punishment. It has been truly
said that man is not punished for his
sins, but by his sins. By sin is meant
what Paul defines as transgpession of
the law, whether due to mans ignor-
ance of Gods law or to his wilful dis
obedience Of it. The child who through
ignorance or disobedience, picks up
| piece of hot iron, suffers because of
his ignorance of disobedience. His
loving father has had nothing to do
| with his suffering, and Our Father
| which art in heaven" loving every one
of His children, sends upon them
neither pain nor penalty. From Him
cometh only the good and perfect
gift"
There is a short and cheering mes
sage that Christian Science has to de-
liver to all who have ears to hear. 1t
is not a new message. 1t has reas-
sured the children of men ever since
they first felt the chill of fear. The
loving mother encouraging her tod
ding infant, the gallant captain cheer
ing bis men to greater valor, the gem
tie Saviour quieting his affrighted dis
ciples, all use it. That message is
BE not afraid
Christian Science emphasizes the
fact that when fear is eliminated from
the consciousness of the sick man,
no matter what the nature of his ill
ness, he has taken long step toward
recovery. 1t declares also that people
who are habitually free from fear
worry, anxiety, apprehension and the !
like, all of which are the children of |
fear, are less susceptible to illness and !,
misfortune than others. It has uncov-
cred in fear an agency of evil, an en-
envy of health, destroyer of peace and |
a bar to mans PROCESS heavenward.
1t is not to be wondered, then, that
the elimination of fear from human
is an important feature
of the mission of Christian Science.
Frequently it is said, ut is all well
enough to say do not be afraid but
how am l to get rid of fear and worry
and anxiety? l use all the will-power
and determination l can command, yet
| do not get rid Of worry. 1t comes in
about as fast as drive it out"
Attempting to get the mastery OF
fear and worry by will-power alone is
ike trying to beat back the ocean with
| baseball bat, or trying to chase
clouds away with broom. You can
lot get rid of them by fighting them,
,ut you can readily get out of their
each by rising higher. The waves OF
