One Of the President elects regrets
is that Mrs. Eustis will be deprived
Of the pleasure of leading the ball.
She had helped Mr.. Eustis copsld-
erably in planning the affair. Mrs.
Eustis Is one of the most prominent
women in Washington society. The
inauguration ball is. of course, the
affair of the season.
President Wilson does not
think 1t Is fair to the nation to
spend somewhere in. the vicinity of
$4,000 for a. dance. His decision is
in line with his policy Of simplifying
the inauguration demonstration as
much as possible
1t was decided to learn more OF
President-elect wilson's wishes, and
the committee will wait until next
week before taking formal action.
Should there be an inaugural ball.
despite President elect Wilson's wish
to the contrary, there may be no
turkey bunny hugging nor
grizzly bearing, if 1t is held in the
pension building. Representative
Roddenberry today offered an amend
ment to- the resolution authorizing
the use of the pension Office, which
is worded as follows:

COMBINE HOLDS
ATLANTIC COAST
SHIPPING TRADE
Steamship Official
Tells How He
Was Bound.
ENLIGHTENsSS SENATOR'S
ON INSIDE DEALINGS
Names Six Companies and Says
They Control Freight Rates
With Railroads.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Atlantic
coast shipping trade Is practically
controlled by a combine of the At
lantic Gulf and West India Steam
ship Company, New York and Porto
Mallory line and Eastern line, and
the Insular line, according to A. II.
Bull, president of the A. H. Bull
Steamship Company, who testified
today before the House shipping trust
committee.
The combination. Mr.. Bull said. op-
Grated under agreements with the
railroads, by which the railroads re-
fused to pro-rate with any independ-
ent lines on less than full cargoes.
He added 1t was almost impossible
for an independent company to Sc
cure wharfage facilities because the
railroads owned or controlled the
terminals at most of the ports, in
Guiding New York. where the piers
were leased
Mr.. Bull testified that after or
ganizing the New York and Porto
Riean Steamship Company, a combs
nation of circumstances forced him
In 1900 to sell his interest and sign
bond not to enter into the Porto
Rican trade for ten years. The line
then was taken into the Atlantic
Guf and West India Steamship
Company. In 1902 he formed the A.
H. Bull Steamship Company, with a
principal line between New York and
Stockton Springs. Me.
Since the expiration of his bond.
the witness said, his company had
operated ships between New York
and Porto Rico in competition with
the combine. which he declared cut
rates. sometimes giving discounts Of
so ana 10 per cent. whenever a Bun
steamer was scheduled to sail for
Porto Rico.
Various overtures had been made,
Mr.. Bull continued, 70 bring the Bull
line into an agreement to maintain
rates, He added he had been offered
$4,000 in excess of the regular charter
rate for his vessel to keep out of the
Porto Rican trade. The witness said
IT was almost impossible for an inde-
pendent to charter vessels for the
Porto Rican trade on account OF
agreements between shipowners and
the combine.
4 think. for the good of the public,
you should take fhis to the depart
ment of Justice said Representative
Humphrey.
Herbert Barber, president of Bar
ber & Co, New York steamship
agents, told the committee that line
operated by his company between
New York and La Plata had an
understanding to maintain rates with
various other lines in the same trade.
