A GIGANTIC UNDERTAKING
Alleged Tfyafc Certain Steamship Lincp
Are In League With the Railroads
to Maintain a Monopoly—All
Shippers Are Interested,
A Washington special says:. The in
terstate commerce .commission Wed**
Uesday decided to institute proceed
ings.of inquiry and investigation Into
the affairs Of the Hamburg-Ameriean
Packet company, which is charged by
Peter Wright – Sons, general agents,
a, .Philadelphia, of the
Shipping company and the"
tan Lines, with, pooling and maintain
ing monopolies in restraint of trade.
The inquiry is expected to be one u£
the most stupendous ever underiajsgu
and of a character different from.'any
that ever before has engaged’ the at
tention of the commissi, n, - v
The inquiry will have to rttui with
an alleged combination between rail
roads in the United States and m
(xGiiftan shipping concern and
fore interests every American
ducer, manfil'acturer or shipper amflr
ing to iurtdoucc his goods into for
eign countries. ’

According to the complaint on
which action was. taken by tine
mission, the Hamburg-Ameriean Pack
et company hasp-built up a cofiipleto
monopoly of the east bound traffic .orig
inating in Chicago, St. Louis,
City, Omaha, Minneapolis*' Duluth’
Cleveland and other mhn.Bfactilrmg
centers of ihp United Sfat'Ss, intend, d

The Cosmopolitan
V. Of Philadelphia, which l"S Jjjmcs m
:o
terdam, Leith and Constantinople. Tlfe
charges allege an ironclad trust in
transatlantic freight carrying exists
between the Hamburg-Amcric.au Pack
et company, the North German Lloyd,
Scandinavian-American Line and the
Wilson (Hull) Line, and that this poo!
apportions the volume of traffic inch
of its members shall carry, and from
what port or ports each line shall
make its sailings, thus involving the
apportionment of traffic original ing in
western cities, both as to character
and amount, between the cities of ihe
north Atlantic seaboard.
In charging lha. ihe llamburg
Arnerican Packet Company, in its al
most absolute control of eastbound
and westbound traffic between interior
points of the United States and Ham
burg, is a monopoly in res.raint of
trade, the complaining company rais
es an international question. The al
legation is made that the foreign cor
poration i s backed by the German gov
ernment, dictates terms, routes and
rates to shippers all over the United
States, who forward goods to Baltic
ports, diverts freight to and fro m
American ports at its own will wvfh
’
out .-Ilf regard to the ,i- natural . , flow of .
trade, and uses coercive and unlawful
methods , , to crush competition.
The statement filed by Peter Wright
– Sons says the Cosmopolitan Ship
ping company has no desire to sup
press legitimate competition and adds:
"We, therefore, do not seek to have
ameliorated any of the conditions
which fair competition may impose.
We do believe, however, that pooling
combinations and intimidations, the
latter in certain instances approach
ing blackmail, even under the sem
blauces of competition, are not legit
imate forms of competition. Pooling
commissions and intimidations in
their worst forms have been encoun
tered recently by the Cosmopolitan
services. These are the unlawful con
ditions, masquerading under the
guise of competition, which it is our
purpose to endeavor to place before
your honorable commission in a Con
cise and chronological form.”

HOW MUCH FERTILIZER TO
APPLY.
The question, "How much fertilizer
should be used per acre?” cannot be an
swered definitely, but only in a general
way. it is sometimes put in this form:
“What is the most profitable amount that
may be applied per acre?” Neither can
the question in the amended form be
eon, ex S ct its ', y character, 1 nd accurately condition, answered. preparation, The
etc., may be well known, nr controllable
factors, but we know not what the sea
sons may be, says Hon. R. J. Redding,
Director Georgia Experiment Station, De
partment Carolina of Agriculture, in the Virginia
Fertilizer Almanac.
We know that some crops will bear
larger amounts of fertilizers with reason
able assurance of profitable returns than
may be expected of other soils. A crop
that occupies the soil from the fall season
until spring, or early summer, will bear
heavier fertilizing than will a crop that
is planted In the spring and ripens for
harvest in midsummer. The first case is
illustrated by oats, wheat, or other small
grain, or grass, especially when sown In
the fall of the. year. Such a crop occu
pies the soli during the late fall and win
ter, and early spring—during which pe
riods the rains are usually abundant
ripening for harvest In late spring, or
very early summer, before the burning
summer heat and possible drouths of
June and July. Oats and wheat therefore
are Ideal crops, for liberal fertilizing.
Corn Is rather an uncertain crop on the
ordinary has dry uplands of the South. It
hut a short period in which to devel
op its flowers—tassels and silks—cover
ing but a few days. If very dry weather
shall prevail when, this critical period is
is approaching, “and for some time after It
passed, the crops may prove a greater
or less failure, There can be no second
effort, no second period of blooming,
It Is different in the case of cotton,
Which commences to bloom and make
fruit in June (or even earlier) and con
tinues throughout the summer until
checked by a severe frost in November.
It has a number of “chances.”
Cotton is therefore another Ideal crop
for liberal fertilizing. A small amount
of fertilizers applied per acre will no
doubt yield a larger percentage profit
on its cost, than will a larger amount.
To illustrate: An application of $2 worth
of fertilizer per acre may cause an in
creased yield of cotton fat 10 cents per
pound) of the,value of $6 to $8, or a profit
of 200 to 30!) per cent, on its cost. I have
frequently follow had such results. But ft does
not that twice as heavy an appli
cation will produce twice as largo re
sults. or that three times as much would
cause three times as great an increase
in the yield. In other words, the rate
of Increase in the yield of cotton will
not be In proportion to the increase In
the amount of fertilizers applied. Two
dollars' worth of fertilizer per acre may
yield an Increase In the crop of £5; but
$6 worth would not therefore bring an
increase of $18.
But careful observation has shown that
an application of $5 to *6 worth of fertil
izers (properly balanced) is a safe amount
to apply per acre on cotton. Many farm
ers in Georgia have secured satisfactory
returns from an application of so much
as 800 pounds per acre,.
I think 000 pounds a perfectly safe limit,
on upland red in fairly good cultivated condition, well
prepa and property in oot
o«. For corn, I would limit the amount

JUDGE DUG UP THE BOMB
Goddard Appears as Witness to Cor
roborate Orchard and Shows Infer
nal Machine in Court.
■ The state of Idaho Wednesday made
a dramatic production and proof of
the Goddard bomb, and besides of
fering further contributions of the
testimony of Harry Orchard against
William D. Haywood secured a rul
ing under which a number of the de
nunciatory articles published in the
Miners’ Magazine, official organ of
the Western Federation of Miners, will
be admitted in evidence.
To Justice Luther M. Goddard him
self fell the task of telling the story
of the finding and preservation for
use as evidence of the bomb with which
Orchard tried to kill him. His appear
ance on the stand added another to
the many dramatic scenes that have
characterized the trial.
The veteran Colorado jurist testl
lied that the firs, information that he
received about the bomb came to him
from Orchard's confession, which was
shown to him at Denver on February
13, 1906, by Detective McParland. He
at once returned to liis home and
the bomb was dug up. It was at once
taken to the office of the Pinkerton
Detective Agency, and carefully seal
ed In wrappers atul envelopes that
were signed by half a dozen witnesses,
including Justice Goddard, and, after
that, they were placed in a vault, to
the door of which seals, including that
of a notary public, were attached.
There they rested until the following
May 22, when, believing the Haywood
case was to come to trial, they wore
removed in the presence of the same
witnesses and all save three of tho
forty s icks of the giant powder, con
tained in the bomb, were exploded.
The explosions occurred in the pres
ence of the witness at a point in the
suburbs of Denver and the bomb it
self, twelve caps and two wrappers,
torn from sticks of giant powder, were
saved as evidence.
Attorneys Richardson and Harrow,
klH)*iS(ff(;nse» objeefodt$? all
evidence and all the exhibits and mov
od to strike out everything, but the
court ruled against them all along the
line.
Justice Goddard was cross-examined
by Mr. Darrow of the defense. He said
he was first elected to the bench by
the democrats and populists in 1892,
serving eight years. He went back
under appointment of Governor Pea
body in Janary, 1901, taking office
April 5, 1905, and still holds office
under that appointment. Mr. Darrow
Inquired at some length as to the con
tests between Peabody and Adams as
to the governorship -and as between
two sets of city and county officers
in Denver. Justice Goddard said he
was appointed the night of the confer
ence, at which it was decided that
Adams shouAl take the governorship
the next day.
Mr. Darrow devoted his inquiry to
bringing out the fact that there was
considerable feeling in Denver and
through Colorado over decisions by
tho supreme court .in the election
cases.

MITCHELL NAILS FAKE.
President Used No “Cut Out” Remarks
on Georgia Day.
"If the president told any speaker
to 'cut it out’ -at Jamestown on Geor
gia day, I did not hear him do so,”
says W. N. Mitchell of Alianta, pres
ident. of tho exposition commission of
Gedrgia.
"I am certani that such words
were not used by tho president at the
reviewing stand. I presented the pres
ident, taking just two minutes and
forty seconds to do so. The president
then followed with his address.”
