SENATORS EXoNERATED.
Committee, Votes Not to Investigate
Watson and Chiffon.

Senators William f. Chiffon and Clar-
ence w. Watson of West Virginia will
not be investigated by the Senate. The
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections yesterday voted unanimously
authorizing a report to the Senate that
the charges of corruption in connection
with the election of the two Senators
had not been proved. and recommending

COMMITTEE HEARS
OF RATE AGREEMENTS
Weapons Used by Coastwise Shipping
Combine to Drive Out
Competitors.

Rate wars and agreements with rail-
roads were the weapons which the coast
wise shipping combine had used to drive
independent lines out of business, ac-
cording to the testimony Of E. g. War
field, OF New York. general manager OF
the Seaboard and Gulf Steamship Com
pany, before the House committee In
vestigating the shipping trust yesterday.
Warfield declared 1t was impossible for
an independent line to exist, although at
present these lines do not resort to the
practice of giving deferred rebates. They
formerly did so, he testified.
Warfield said his line had been denied
membership in the conference which
fixes rates on coastwise business from
New York to Southern points. He be-
lieved the reason why his line was de-
MED admission was because the confer
ence lines did not want his line to enjoy
the favorable agreements the conference
had with the railroads. He said that
whereas the conference lines got through
rates through their agreements with the
railroads, his line had to pay local rates
on freight originating from or shipped
to interior points.
As an instance of the extremes to
which the conference lines go to knock
out independent competition, the witness
cited a rate war in 1907, when. in the
course of a short time, the conference
lines reduced the rate on firecrackers
from Baltimore to Galveston. Tex. from
sixty cents a hundred pounds to fifteen
cents a hundred pounds. This reduction
was not made at one time, but successive
reductions came in rapid order.

ENLISTED MEN In
PRISON NUMBER 5000
Federal Prisons and Guardhouses
Bulge with Soldiers, Most of
Them Deserters.

Nearly 5.O10 enlisted men OF the army
occupied quarters in guardhouses and
army or Federal prisons during the year
just ended. and 2,l3S of them still were
SO situated at the end OF last month. ac-
cording to figures recently compiled in
the office OF the adJutant general OF the
army. These men are serving time for
twenty-seven different offenses, varying
in seriousness from disorderly conduct to
manslaughter. BY far. the most numer-
Gus offense was desertion. for which 79l
men are incarcerated. Larceny is Sec
ond numerically.
An interesting study is an analysis OF
the statistics, with a view to assocIating
the offense with the geographical loca-
ton OF the scene. Thus the military
prison at Alcatraz Island. Cal. now has
3A prisoners in confinement. only eight
of whom were imprisoned for desertion.
But forty-nine of the siXty-six cases Of
assault to commit murder or rape re-
ported for the entire army were COM
mitted by prisoners there. And all of
the seven cases of manslaughter for
which enlisted men were convicted In
1912 were by prisoners now in confine-
ment there. But though there were only
eight straight desertions there were
nInety-four "desertions with theft
Inc largest numDer OIL prisoners were
confined at Fort Leavenworth. Kans., in
the United States Military Prison. OF
the LIB men there. 691 were 'in'' for
desertion and only eleven for "desertion
with theft" Seven were in for assault
and eight for larceny. There now are SO
at L.eavenworth, of whom nearly two
thirds are doing time for desertion-
OF those in Alcatraz Island Prison now,
seventy-five more than were In there at
the close Of 1872. only one man Is serving
a sentence OF less than six months dura-
ton. and eighty-five are in for periods
varying between six months and one
year. Twenty-nine are in for more
than eight years, while at Leavenworth
there is no prisoner whose time runs
so long. At Leayenworth only seven
run for more than four years, while at
Alcatraz there are fifty-nine whose term
is five years or more.

The board also recommends that rail-

laws against trespassinE be inforced.
It also says there should be more CO.
operation of the State and Federal
governments on the one hand and rail-
road companies on the other to bring
about more stable conditions through
out the entire country; piecemeal legis-
lation should be brought together and
harmoniZed into general enactments
comprehensive in character and based
on the best standards of practice, and
that the enforcement Of this general
legislation be introduced to a body
having powers similar in character to
these administered by the railway de-
partment of the British Board Of Trade.

An undue and unjust discrimination in

test which has been filed with the Snter-
state Commerce Commission by Judd &

freight consigned to them f.nm points
beyond Baltimore or will have to pay
