AFTER OCEANTRUST Interstate Commerce Com mission to insert Probb# 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 for interior port's or places on tiro continent of Europe. The .poinpkiint -reviews wha?* it claiips to bo uufal'r methods in stifling competition. ctfepa 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.” PLAYED AT SMUGGLING GAME.

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 s |» W 300 poimdti ps? nets on aid up* 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.
