Washington. June 13.-Competition
between cOastwise steamship lines has
been largely eliminated and agree
ments exist between practically all the
established steamship lines operating
to and from American ports. These
are the findings of the house ship
trust investigating committee, an
nounced today.
Chairman Alexander of the house
ship trust investigating committee,
making public the first three volumes
of the committees proceedings today.
declared they contained evidence that
competition between coastwise lines
had practically been eliminated and
that all established lines from Amer
lean ports were in agreements"
"In the domestic trade" said Mr..
Alexander, "a greements between steam
ship lines to regulate competition do
not play nearly so prominent a part as
in the foreign trade. But numerous
methods may be used to accomplish
the same purpose and the committee
is aware of at least thirty which have
been or are being used to control COM
petition between water carriers in the
domestic trade.
POOL THE BUSINESS.
I'm the trade with foreign ports, the
committee found at least seventy six
agreements or UNDERSTANDINGS whose
purpose was to fix and maintain rates,
regulate traffic and in many instances
pool the business. These agreements
govern nearly all the regular lines op-
Grating in various branches of Ameri-
can lines to Europe, Africa, and the
Caribbean district.
practically all the lines serving
both the Atlantic and Pacific sea-
boards of the United States are mem
bers of conferences or work in opera
tion through written agreements or
oral understandings"
This summing up of the evidence
represents the views of the chairman
and probably will be the basis of the
final report of the committee with it's
recommendations. Formal considera-
ton by the committee may not be pos
sible before the December session

Washington, June Ex-senator As
hurst submitted today the report of
the woman's suffrage committee rec
ommending passage of the Chamber
lain resolution for a constitutional
amendment extending suffrage to the
women.
THAT the granting of the elective
franchise to women would add to the
strength, efficiency, justice and fair
ness of government, we have not the
slightest doubt says the report.
1T is anomalous and archais In a
free republic, professedly made up OF,
controlled by, and administered for all
the people, to deny to one-half OF its
citizens the right of exercising a valu-
able function of citizenship, thus pre-
clude that one-half from the right and
power to say what law or policy shall
he it's rule of conduct. And this anom-
ally becomes abhorent when we reflect
that the particular half of citizenship
thus excluded is the Identical one-half
from which springs so much wisdom,
courage, cheer, hope and good coun-
sci"
The report sets forth that these
things are considered in granting equal
franchaAe whether women as q class

states does not violate the law pro-
hibiting a carrier from acting as agent,
according to an opinion handed down
today by the United States circuit
court of appeals.
The opinion was delivered by Pre-
siding Judge Sanborn, in reversing
the decision Of the district court Of
North Dakota in the case of the First
National Bank of Anamoose, which
had been fined $500 in the lower court.
THE history of the times and the
proceedings in congress which led up
to the enactment Of the statute" says
the opinion, have convinced this court
that the mischief at which ii was lew
elled was not the collection of sight
drafts, by the banks or ordinary COL
lectors for the purchase price Of
liquors, although bills of lading were
attached thereto and delivered on col
lection, but that il was the collection
by carrier or their agents Of the pur
chase price for e. o. d. shipments Of
liquor into prohibition states where
by they became virtually the agents Of
the liquor dealers in the selling OF
liquors.

Washington. June 13.-President
wilson's name in connection with
White House Influence" for the tariff
OIL was brought before the senate
lobby investigating committee again
today by Senator Gallinger, who de-
Fclared the president had come peril
ously near lobbying in some of the
things he had done in connection with
the tariff bill. Democratic senators
subjected him to long cross examina =
tion on the subject of White House in
huence
Senator Gallinger's statements came
as profound sensation. He was about
to. ,eave the stand when Senator Reed
asked a final question.
When man says that he would
hang some one as high as Haman' if
that person did not do certain things, -
said Senator Gallinger. "and that an
inquiry was a proposed reduction of
wages and did so would be inVesti-
gated, | think that is about the worst
kind of influence l can ina gine.'
What do you think of a public of
fetal that gets up a scare about an
insidious lobby?" asked Senator Nell
son.
A SPECIES OF LOBBY.
THAT he intends to influence public
opinion and the opinion of public men,

lobby"
term to my own satisfaction, perhaps
l would not like to say. 1t was a spe-
cies of lobby influence
1T was an intimation that men are
afraid to use their own judgment lest
the people suspect them of lobbying?''
persisted Senator Nelson.
1T so Impressed me-" replied SEN
stor Gallinger.
You think. then, that members of
congress can be intimidated?" asked
Chairman Overman.
II have no disposition to criticize
public officials for cheap partisan pur
poses, returned Gallinger.
Mr.. Gallinger added that he did not
know that many democrats were COM
planning because more offices were not
filed and more nominations not sent
to the senate.
You don't mean to intimate that the
president is holding up appointments
to compel them to vote for legislation
they don't desire?'
THAT CHANGED DOCUMENT.
Truman G.. Palmer, head Of the
Washington offices maintained by the
beet sugar interests. testified today on
how the senate document, Sugar at
Glance" was changed after the senate
ordered it printed.
The document was widely circulated
under Senator Lodges frank.
When the senate granted Mr.. Lodges
request that certain charts and other
data be printed as a document, said
Palmer many of the charts were not
completed. He finished the work and
submitted a completed dummy form to
Senator Lodge. The latter wired him
from Boston that he would forward
the dummy to the public printer with
my approval" Palmer produced letters
and kilograms.
Senator Lodge also wrote Palmer
telling him the completed document
was a fine piece of work" In for
