Washington Utilities Company to File
Answer to Merger Suit in
Few Days.

Defendants in the suit of the District
Attorney for an Injunction to prevent
the Washington Utilities Company, the
sl5s. 10000 corporation that has taken
over the washington-Virginia Railway
and Electric Company, from merging
local institutions have not filed their an
swers as yet
It is understood that each of the de-
fendants will file a demurrer. setting
up that the court has no Jurisdiction In
the case.
The filing Of the pleas has been de-
layed by an agreement to submit an
swers to the various queries of the Com
missioners of the District regarding the
purposes of the company at the same
time that the demurrers are filed This
will cause a delay.
There are so many Congressional
probes going on at this time and other
cases requiring legal talent that matters
that can wait must wait the pleasure of
the legal talent.
A hearing on the demurrers probably
Will follow within ten days after filing.
The Washington Utilities Company Is
now operating the Virginia
Railway Company, and issues tickets six
for quarter that are good on all lines
within the District.

WITNESSES TELL
OF SHIPPING TRUST
How Rebates on Coffee Shipments Are
Paid Told to House Com
mittee,

Witnesses before the House Commit.
tee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries
which yesterday instituted an inquiry into
the so-called Shipping Trust. told the
committee that there Is an iron bound
agreement regulating traffic between the
United States and Brazil and other
South American countries which makes
1t impossible for independent lines to
exist. Shippers, they testified. are either
coerced or lured by system of de-
ferred rebates into giving all their bIisi-
ness to the conference of trust lines
between the two countries, and IL is i'm
possible for other lines to get enough
business 10 exist
The star witness before the committee
was Joseph Purcell, of Hard. Rand &
Co., OF New York, one of the biggest
coffee importers in the United Ststes
Purcell admitted his company was get
ting 10 per cent rebate on all ship-
ments of coffee from Brazil. He said
that his firm could not afford to ship by
any other line because OF the uncertainty
OF getting transportation facilities AT the
time of the year when the coffee crop
Is moving. He said his business was
given TO three of the conference lines,
naming the Lamport & Holt, Prince.
and Hamburg-South American Line. The
deferred rebates, Purcell said. were pay
able at certain periods after the ship
ments were made
other witnesses were Sidney Storey, of
New Orleans, who was the chief pro-
moter OF the Pan-American Line to
Brazil from New Orleans, which was
driven out of business. and ]. ]. Schlecta.
business agent at New York of the Bra
lillian Steamship Company. which. ac-
cording to Schlecta, lost 100000 trying
