Secretary Hoover Charges
Carriers With Trying to
Make Illegal Agreement
With Fruit and Vegetable
Shippers.

WASHINGTON, June 18.-While
favoring commodity REIMBURSEMENT of
railroad freight rates, Secretary of
Commerce Hoover is opposed to the
carriers making reductions condition
upon shippers agreeing not to use
competitive water routes.
Revealing today the process of the
negotiations between the trans-contin-
entail carriers and the Western ship
pers of fruits and vegetables, Secre-
tary Hoover declared that proposed
rate reductions were being held up
while the roads were endeavoring to
get the shippers to stipulate not to
send their products East by water.
81 have several legal opinions on
such a proposal" Mr.. Hoover said,
zone of which holds that the agreement
is illegal. -.
81 certainly don't think that the
railroads either in the public interest,
or in their own interest in the long
run, should endeavor to force such a,
1
result Of conferences held
here several weeks ago, the carriers
sought and obtained permission to file
rate reductions on fruit and vegetable
shipments from the Pacific Coast on
one days notice.
Such notice never has been entered,
although it was announced that blan-
ket rate of S1.75 per 100 pounds would
be established on shipments to all east
ern points.
The present rates range from $1.83
to $2.06 1-2 on fruit and vegetable
shipments, carrying with the eastern
points to which consigned.
Steamship lines serving the Pacific
ports and the Atlantic Coast an
nounced some time ago that they
were prepared to install refrigeration
which would enable perishable ship
ments eastward, and it also was stated
that the Shipping Board would enter
this field.
c. S. Whitcomb, president of the
Pacific Producers association and vice
president of the California Fruit Grow
ers' Exchange, left here today for New
York to arrange for refrigerating
space with steamship officials. He de-
clared the California and other west
ern growers soon would be shipping
their products to the eastern seaboard
through the Panama canal.
Whitcomb said his conference with
the steamship men is his answer to the
proposal from railroad officials. He
said he believed the fruit and yege-
table growers of the Pacific Coast can
market their products on the eastern
seaboard at a profit by use of the Pan
anna Canal. At the same time he be-
lieves the consumers in this part of
the country will benefit in price and
quality.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion began an investigation of the Pa
cihc coast tTanscontinental rates as
the result Of personal visit by Presi-
dent Harding. Ii is now expected that
the president will cause the govern
ment to take cognizance of the rail
roads efforts to deliver blow at the
Panama Canal.

Pete Herman, former bantamweight
champion Of the world, gave Young
Solsberg, of Brooklyn, a terrific lacing
last night in the main event at the
Freeport Auditorium. Solsberg alb
sorbed more punishment than any boy
Herman has met since he dropped his
title to Joe Lynch, and with the Brook
Ignite completely at his mercy the ex-
champion was unable to muster a
Knockout punch. The referee stopped
the bout in the seventh round after
Herman had tloored his opponent three
successive times.
Solsberg got the worst of an ex-
change of punches in the first round
and was on the defensive thereafter.
He was hoored in the fourth round
with only four seconds to SO, but came
back in the fifth, although bewidered
and groggy. He was fattened twice in
the sixth, once for count OF six and
again for count of nine.
AL Ketchell, Freeport's bantamweight
favorite, administered a severe beating
to Johnny Murray, Of Brooklyn, in the
.en-round semi-fnal. In the best OF
the six-round preliminaries Hilly La
Vigne, of Coney Island, outpointed
Joseph Zella. Young Scott, of Lyn-
brook, knocked out Sailor McGeehan in
q two-round slugging match.

Tor the last half dozen years. and
more than once has earned the

'ments. On these occasions the far

sationaI golfing upsets by elimi-
mating top-heavy favorites from na-
tional OR Metropolitan tournaments.

Most OF the low scores to-day were
made on the No. course, as large
number of the best players drew that
route for their first round. Gardiner
White. Of the Nassau Club, led the golf
ers on the more difficult No. 8 links
with a round of S7-A1-78. Harold
Weber of Iverness, and Joe Wells, of
East Liverpool, were tied for second
at 20.
There were plenty Of good cards on
No. 2, nineteen doing IS or better.
There were fourteen scores on both
courses O. So or better, and four who
did So. " is estimated that nothing
worse -oan 49,. will qualify for the
championship division.
Joseph Schlotman, Of Detroit was
the only player thought certain of a
place in the first division who fell down
so badly in the first round that he is
not likely to qualify. He took 45-42
ST, and will have to 20 in the middle
70s tomorrow to cet in. Schlotman
used seven strokes at the first hole
after pushing his tee shot into the
woods, seven ct the seventh, when his
second was buried in trap, and six at
the tenth and eighteenth.
Arthur Yates. of the Oak Hill Club.
Rochester, surprised the score board
gallery when he handed in a 3S-40--7S.
The third lowest score for the No. 2
course.
Albert Mendes, Of New York, winnse
Of the Palm Reach championship last
month, took so.
The strangest round was played by
II. J. Fownes Cd, of Oakmont. He
started off with two at the 430-yard
first hole, sinking full iron shot. He
got OUT in 40 and then visited all the
traps in the place and was Sd coming
