IDENTICAL FREIGHT RATES ARE USED Steamship Men Explain Reason Trade With South and Central America Does Not Prosper Washington, January 10. Most of the steamship lines trading between t lie United States and ports in South g.nd Central America. South Africa and Aus tralia, use identical freight rates agreed to in conference, according to shipping men who testified today before the House committee investigating the so-called shipping trust. The witnesses were Pauli Gottnell, president of Punch, Ldye & Co., fi eight agents in New York for a num ber of large steamship companies; Paul W. Gerhart, New York agent for the Prince line, and W illiam 1C. Halm, New York agent for the Houston lu*e. AL the witnesses insisted that no re bates were given on outgoing cargoes from America by their companies or those associated with them in rate con ferences, but it was not denied that re bates probably were given on cargoes coming from South Africa or South Amer ica. Mr. Gerhart was the first witness, lie testified his line had an understanding with lines doing business between New York and South Africa. In the 1-aPlata trade he declared there were no rebates and no division of territory. He said the time was when New York agents of the lines were permitted to make any rate on certain articles. He said now' they were made in London. He asked when the change was made by Mr. Humphrey. He said two years ago. Speaking of the South African trade, witness said he believed there was no pooling, but be bad no doubt that tlie London offices saw to It that each line got Its proportion of the trade by regu lating the trips of the respective steam ers. Witness testified that with the four or five largest New York exporters to La Plata special contracts were entered into Ivy the lines, and smaller exporters were then given the same* rates. Representative Alexander suggested this pn.vented competition in rates. Mr. Ger hart said rate cutting was a most unfor tunate plight. He said no peison could run a steamer unless on the same basis for the big and small. He Sjjid there nsus. be no cutting. William 10. Halm, New York agent for the Houston line, testified that a London conference controlled the New York trade to South Africa. Freight Is Pooled “I may say 1 know that the freight is pooled,” testified lfalm. Subject to that conference were the Houston line, the Prince line, the Han son line, the*Union Clay line, and the American African lines in a separate conference. He said not an American! ship cared for th • Mouth African bus iness. Chairman Alexander asked if the Houston line was in any agreement regulating freight or passenger^traffle between the United States tmd tjje Plata. Rates for this trade, the wit ness said, were made in New York at conferences among representatives of the various steamship lines although no written agreements were entered into. He said the conferences were held once jin every seven days. j In fljflng rates the witness declared that an effort was made to keep them on a parity with rates from Germany and England. The agent declared that his company had not given rebates on export cargoes from the United States for many years. He said he knew nothing about rates on cargoes from Argentine to this county. He further ndded he knew from correspondence that rebate arrangements existed. Asked if there were any agreements between railroads and steamship com panies as to through rates. Mr. Halm said that as far as he knew no such agreements ever were entered into. “Experience has shown,” declared Mr, Halm, “that there Is only one way of getting service, and that is through rebate and pooling.&i rangements. These methods are recognized as lawful by I the governments of England and Ger ! many." Pooling arrangements were neces sary, he said, because no one ship owner-could operate a sufficient num ber of steamers to keep up a contin uous service between New York and ! South America. Rebates, he continued, were given to hold shippers and prevent them from taking cargo space in tramp steam ers. “Your only reason for not giving rebates on cargoes out of New York is that you think it would conflict with the anti-trust law?”, asked Represen tative Hardy. “That is true,” replied the witness. South American Trade Explaining why his company had never established lines between gulf ports and South America, Mr. Halm said lumber, the chief commodity shipped south from the gulf usually went in full cargo lots and tHat ship pers themselves could charter vessels as cheaply as the steamship lines. The real reason why trade between the United States and South America has not been developed more rapidly, he Insisted, was the natural tendency of Germans, Spaniards and Englishmen, located In South America, to trade with their home countries. “Would a subsidy to American ship owners overcome this tendency?” asked Representative Hardy. “Absolutely it would- not,” the witness replied. Paul Gottheil, president of Funcli, Ed ye & Co., a firm acting as freight agent for a number of largo steamship lines, in cluding the Hamburg-American line, the Scandinavian-American line and the Uni ted States Shipping company, told the committee that Mr. Gerhardt had made a substantially accurate statement of con-1 ditions in the trade between Brazil and j the United States. Mr. Gottheil declared that the Pan-1 American Steamship company was a fail- j ure. not because of efforts on the part of companies in the rate agreements to j throttle it, but because the people behind j t he new enterprise did not “know their j business and paid a profit of 80 per cent to ship owners for the vessels they chartered.” NO AGREEMENT ON TAFT APPOINTMENTS Attempt by Democrats to Compromise Matter Meets With Failure. F’ight Will Be Renewed Washington, January ^10.—Efforts by democratic Senate leaders to make an i agreement with the republican forces for a joint committee to go over President Taft’s recent appointments and select certain acts that should Vie confirmed by j the .Senate, met with failure today. Attempt at a compromise was the re sult of a fneeting of the special commit tee appointed by the democratic caucus in December, to evolve a method of hand ling the hundreds of appointments that have been sent in by the President since December 15. headers informally pro posed to tlie republicans today that five members be selected by each party to' take up the task of “weeding out” the pending nominations. A number of re publicans were called together to con sider the proposal, and promptly re jected it. The outcome of the failure, will be a renewal of the fight between the two parties next week. It is expected that an executive session of the Senate will be held Tuesday or Wednesday. The republican forces then will insist tha* nominations be taken up in their reg ular order and that no discrimination be shown against any of the Taft nomi nations. A conference of democrats will be held tomorrow to determine what ac tion shall be taken. Republicans declared today there would be no attempt to filibuster against the democrats or to keep the Senate in con tinuous executive session; but an attempt would be made at once to force an is-| sue with the democrats as to the method of procedure upon the various appoint ments. “To submit the question of nominations to a committee would require the holding : of a republican caucus," said Senator | Smoot tonight. “That was not practicable ; and we concluded for that and other rea- j sons that the preferable plan was to al low the nominations to come before the entire Senate in the usual way. We shall insist that the calendar be taken up in the order in which the nominations appear.” The refusal of the republicans to make! any compromise upon the Taft appoint ments will have the effect of halting the action that the democratic leaders had agreed to support, for the confirmation of army, navy and diplomatic nomina tions. FEDERAL JUDGES ARE UNDER FIRE Iior!nnd Asks Investigation of Conduct of Judge Van Valkenburg and Judge Pollock in Petition Washington, January 10.—The lnvestige tion of the conduct of two federal judges Judge Van Valkenburg of the western district of Missouri and Judge Pollock of the district of Kansas, was asked for today in petitions of the common council of Kansas City. Mo., presented to the House by Representative Borland of Mis souri. The resolutions charge that Judge Pol lock and Judge Van Valkenburg ap pointed receivers for the Kansas Natural Gas company, which it is alleged, is con trolled by the United Gas Improvement company of Philadelphia, who were friendly to the interests, design and pur pose.” of those two companies. A fur ther charge against Judge Pollock is that he Issue an order to the receivers, directing them to charge an increased price for gas delivered to the Kansas City Gas company. The resolutions charge thaf the act’ons of the judges is an unfair exercise of judicial power and destructive of the fundamental rights of the people. It is further charged that Judge Pollock is | depriving the people of Kansas City of light and fuel and that he, is being “aided ! and abetted” in his purpose by Judge Van Valkenbuigh. The Kansas Natural Gas company was a pipe line company and furnished nat ural gas from Oklahoma to the Kansas City Gas company, which distributed it for 27 cents per 10*4) cubic feet. Both com panies are alleged to be owned and coo trelied by the United Gas Improvement company of Philadelphia, which, it is said, also controls the Welsbach 'Street I.lght ing company of America upon whose ap plication the appointment of receivers was • made by Judge Van Valkenburg. The Kansas Natural Gas company claimed the natural gas in Oklahoma was becoming exhausted and that a higher price should be charged. The resolutions declares that testimony taken in n ju dicial proceeding demonstrated that an adequate supply of natural gas still was accessible. On October 9. 1912, accordiiefifto the res olution, the Kansas Natural Gas com pany obtained from Judge Pollock the appointment of three receivers. Tire res olution claims ?he application was made to force the consumers to pay a much greater* price for their gas and that the design and purpose of the receivership was so plain that Judge Pollock could not | possibly have been ignorant thereof. On December 30, 1912, Judge PoPock made an order directing the receivers of the Kansas Natural Gas company to re fuse to sell gas to the Kansas City Gas company unless they received at least 31 cents pc* 1000 cubic feet. Drop New' Haven Probe Washington, January 10.—Congressional investigation of the New Haven Grand Trunk traffic deal In New England will not be recommended by the House rules committee, which has held several hear ngs upon the subject. ft became known today that the federa1. government’s prosecution of the railroad officers concerned was one of the reasons for the determination of the committee. Representative O'Shaughnessy’s resolu tion to authorize an inquiry by a special committee has been before the rules committee since before the Christmas hol idays, when hearings were heard on a re quest for its immediate consideration. Several members of the rules committee oppose under any cercumstanees an in ; vestigation of the New Haven situation unless it is conducted by one of the regu larly constituted committees. The rules committee decision does not, it Is said, end the possibility of a congressional in vestigation. Representative O’Shaughn ess| might take his resolution to the cal emrar and there press it for consideration on the floor of the House In the regular fashion. Army Bill Reported Washington, January 10.—Carrying $93, 830,177. an Increase of $3,000,000 over the amount appropriated last year, the army appropriation bill was reported to the House tonight by Representative Hay of Virginia, chairman of the committee on military affairs. One-half of the appro priation this year wil be used exclusive ly for pay for the army. Fifty per cent increase in the pay of army aviators is provided. For the use of the aviation corps $150,000 is appropriated, this sum being considerably less than the amount asked for. • Langley III Washington, January 10.—Representa tive Langley, republican, of Kentucky, was stricken on the floor of the House late today by a rush of blood to his head, shortly after he had concluded speaking on a private pension bill which was un der consideration.

Mr. Pujo decline^ to make known his plans for intercepting Mr. Rockefeller or the name of the doctor to be employed.

Ft is said that Mr. Pujo has arranged with a physician to examine Mr. Rockefeller. Gompers Before Committee Washington, January 10.*—The right of labor to organize and to be exempt from injunction during labor disputes was the subject of an argument before the Sen ate judiciary committee today by Presi dent Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor.

East of the Mississippi the pressure has been generally high, bu^. such is the position of the storm centre, that the wind circu lation has been from the ocean to the land, and the unusual condition of general rain and higher temperatures with high barometer has been experienced. Except for the northwest, where there are tem | peratures far below' zero, due to the ln ! fluence of the high barometer and north west winds, the weather west of the Mis sissippi has been characterized by rising temperatures, and more or less general precipitation. Rain has fallen through out. the Pacific northwest, and also In tiie great central basin, while snow lias occurred in many portions of the Rocky mountain plateau. In the southern states, cloudy weather, with quite general rain, has prevailed during the past 24 hours. Temperatures have risen from 2 to 18 degrees and are now about normal for the season general ly. The general cloudiness and unset tled weather has been explained as due largely to the wind circulation from the warmer ocean to the land, hence the light amounts of rain reported generally. As tlie area of low barometer, now over the southern Rockies, advances further east ward Its influence will tend to cause heavier rainfalls, with the southeast winds. It is expected that rain will lie general In this section, Saturday and probably Sunday, and that temperatures will continue moderate.
