RETAIN STEAMSHIP LINE
1. c. c., In Granting Permission,
Snys Service Will BE in Inter-
est Of Public.
FIRST DECISION ON QUESTION

petition on Proposed Route.

WASHINGTON, February 13.-Reten-
ton OF control Of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company by the Southern
Pacific Railroad was authorized to-day
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
SION In Its first decision under the pro-
vision of the Panama Canal act, re-
curing railroads to give up compel
ing steamship lines, except when joint
ownership and operation was found by
the commission to be of public advan-
tagc
The railroads petition set forth that
II proposed tn operate the steamship
company in traffic between San Fran
cisco and ports I'm Mexico. Guatemala
Salvador, Honduras Nicaragua and
Costa RIGA, between Mexican and Cen
trai American ports and Europe. and
between Mexican and Central Ameri-
can ports and the United States Atlantic
and Gulf ports This traffic. the petit
ton says. will he handled by the
steamship company to or from Balboa
and transshipped In connection with
the vessels of other lines In no way
connected with the petitioner"
The commission was told during oral
argument on the case tina, the Southern
Pacific proposed to give up its service
from San Francisco to New York
through the canal. and from San Fran
cisco to Europe via tho canal, because
such service might be considered in
competition with the Southern Pacifc's
rail- and water service via New Orleans.
EXISTING SERVICE IN

Tho commission held: The Pacflc
Mail Steamship Company, operating
boats between San Francisco and Bal

In the United States; for tranlc be-
tween points in the United States. and
points in Mexico. and for traffic be-
tween points In the United States and
points In foreign countries, with tho
southern Pacific Company's rail- lines
from San Francisco.
The commission Is without power IN
grant any extension OF time as to
vessels operating or to operate between
san Francisco and Colon for the rea-
son that that service by water would
be through the Panama Canal II II
snail be made to appear that certain
specihed vessels will operate no further
than Balboa. the commission could. as
to such vessels. grant nm extension OF
time.
From the record 1t appears that the
service proposed other than that
through the Panama Canal would be
IN the interest OF the public, and OF

"Their duty Is not alone to moe,
