ADMITS UNDERSTANDING
AMONG STEAMSHIP LINES
Christian ]. Beck Says Com
panies Are Careful Not to
Underquote Rates.

More testimony intended to show pool
ing and rate fixing among Atlantic
steamship lines was given to the House
shipping trust investigating committee to-
day by Christian j. Beck. freight traffic
manager CT the Hamburg American lines
operating to the United States. He de-
scribed the practices OF the lines between
New York and Cuba as independent, but
careful not to underquote rates.
Beck produced a pooling and rate agree
ment between the Hamburg American
and the Royal Mail Steam Packet lines In
the United States trade between Jamaica,
Central America and South America. A.
"tacit understanding" that rates should
not be cut existed, he said. between his
company and the United Fruit line.
There had been an increase OF about 10
per cent in rates to Jamaica in the last
year, he said.
Applies to Canal Zone.
The agreement appeared to show that
the pooling applied not only to Jamaica
ports, but to the Panama Canal Zone. Ii
provided that beginning in 1908 30 per
cent OF the freight earnings, excluding
earnings on refrigerated cargo, bananas
and large cement and cinker shipments
for the isthmian canal commission,
should be pooled on the basis OF Idta per
cent to the Hamburg American and 22'z
to the Royal Mail. The share or the
Royal Mail was increased in 1910 TO -
per cent.
Speaking of the gulf trade to South
America Mr. Beck said that there was
a ..tacit understanding that the United
Fruit Company should observe the New
York rates.
same Rates for Shorter Sailing.
Mr.. Beck was asled why New Orleans
shippers were required to pay the same
rate TO Colon as New York shippers. de-
spite the fact that New Orleans was "A
DAYS steaming nearer. He replied that
the difference in distance was offset by
the fact that cargoes handled from New
Orleans were mostly of lumber, -four and
grain. rough products which did not yield
a large return. In speaking OF the IN
crease in rates for steamship service
Mr.. Beck asserted that steamers time
today was worth 100 per cent more than
IL was twelve months ago.

TALK0F ACOMPROMiSE
ON BENN|NG ROAD BILL
Washington Railway and In
teFurban Line Object to
Plans for Widening.

Talk of compromise on the bill for the
widening of Benning road from 18th
street to Oklahoma avenue northeast
featured hearing before a subcommit-
tee of the Senate District committee to-
day. Senator Curtis presided and an
nounced that he hoped some sort of a
compromise can be worked out by which
the street Improvement can be carried
out The measure has already passed the
House. but strenuous opposition from
several sources to some of the features of
the legislation has held up action on it
in the Senate.
Favors Reasonab BILE Compromise.
Nathaniel Wilson, one of the property
owners who has urged the widening of
the street. declared that he was ready
to accept any reasonable compromise that
would bring about the Improvement.
Clarence p. King. president of the
Washington Railway and Electric COM
pany, objected to the provision Of the
bill which would require the railway COM
pany to move its tracks to the center of
the widened street. He pointed out, as
the reason for the objection, that the
railway company must donate it's right of
way alongside the present street-between
thirty and fifty feet wide-to the District
for the street widening.
1t was his suggestion that the bill be
amended to provide for the widening Of
the street to 40 feet instead Of no. In
that case. he said, the tracks in their
present location would be in the center
Of the street. Otherwise, he thought, the
government should stand the cost Of NOV
ing the tracks, about $4,000.
Wants Property Purchased.
Thomas. P. Littlepage. speaking for the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
railroad, submitted an amendment pro-
viding that. for the widening of Benning
road and the extension of other streets,
all of the present property of the rail-
road at 10Th and II streets northeast
should be purchased by the government.
The cost is to be fixed at $4,000. which,
he said. is the cost of the land and the
improvements. The taking of the slice
of the property necessary to widen Ben
ming road to 40 or 10 feet, he said.
would make the property practically use
less to the railroad.
Another meeting of the subcommittee
will be held to take action on the
measure.

NEWS NOTES

Since the publication of the first
direct news from the Shishana yes
terday by the Nugget it has been
learned that Hamshaw was reported
some time ago to have struck pay
there. He is, sure enough, the bro
Their of the man who lived here in
Nome during the winter and who was
here again this spring. The report
that he had struck pay was probably
premature.

The Nugget is bound to pay a COM
pliment to it's correspondents who
supply it with news. First of all it
must compliment the staff of the Jun
eau Empire, the paper of Governor
Strong, for the splendid manner in
which it supplied the news about the
wreck of the State of California. The
wreck occurred on Sunday morning
and on Monday evening the Nugget
was enabled to publish the facts-the
or any place else knew what had
really occurred. There were garbled
or faxed reports in other places but
as usual the Nugget correspondents
were right.
To the CordOva paper and Mr.. Steel,
thanks are also due for giving us the
first real facts about the Shishana
strike. The Nugget asked particularly
to receive the first news coming direct
from the ground by some one who
had examined the conditions and this
request was answered in splendid
manner. The Nugget, of course, pub
lished the only story of the strike last
July-the first story ever given to the
