Testimony that steamship companies owned abroad absolutely control American shipping and have spent money freely, to foster legislation against an Ameri can marine was offered today before the Congressional committee holding sessions here to Investigate charges that a steamship lobby was main tained at Washington. William LL Louglas, who formerly represented a New York district In Congress, was the witness who made these statements. "A conditions are now," Mr. Douglas testified, "the American merchant Is handicapped. The foreign steamship owners make a rate at Hamburg, Lon don and Paris that controls the export shipment of an article to this country. Even if th American should charter a steamer for his own freight, he would not be able to obtain additional freight to make up a cargo." Similar conditions govern trade be tween the United States and South America. Mr. Douglas said, as all the lines plying between the two countries are owned abroad, and foreign steam ship companies, he asserted, had spent money freely to Influence sentiment against American shipping. "While a member of Congress, did you ever know of money being: spent there by agents to influence legisla tion, through the giving of dinners or anything elseT" "I think there was." Mr. Douglas added that although for eign companies had used whatever In fluence they possessed in shipping legislation and had paid men to repre sent them in Washington he believed that, strictly speaking, they had not Tiolated any law. CRUSHERS PAY LITTLE HOCK Q CARRIES TO BE TCRXED TO ROAD DETART.MEXT. Washington Board of Control Finds Convict Labor Be Paid for Highway Work. OLTMPIA. Nov. 19. (Special.) In a long report on the state rock crushing plants the State Board of Control tells of the operations of the five quarries, or rather of the attempt to operate them and ends with the recommenda tion that thev be placed entirely under the control of the State Highway De partment. The Board reports that out of the total money derived for. the quarries from all sources, amounting to 1131.310,10, I12S.901.14 had Deeyi spent, leaving S5.416.98 available for the op. eratlon of the "defective Fldalgo and Mesklll quarries." At the outset the rate charged for crushed rock was 50 cents a ctibc yard to state, counties, cities and towns and 60 cents to Individuals, firms and cor tvnratlons. but. when this was found In adequate the rate was boosted to 60 and 80 cents respectively. The board takes up the question of convicts at road and quarry camps and among the recommendations are that: The prisoners be taken direct to the camps Instead of to the penitentiary so as to save mileage; the Legislature fix a minimum wage to be patd all convicts at work so that they will be relieved of the evil Influence of penury when released: the Legislature allow the Board of Control to have more traveling guards for the gathering of Information concerning paroled pris oners from the penitentiary and youths from the State Training School and the Legislature pass again the section of the Indeterminate sentence law, re pealed by the new criminal code. Tho board says that additional legis lation Is needed to develop the fullest possibilities of the plan of building roads and operating quarries with con vlct labor. The board then takes up Its plans of taking first-timers Direct to convict camps and allowing a stated sum for good work. BOOSTER SCHEME UNIQUE "What Do the Train Wheels Say? Klickitat, Klickitat."

(SOU HOT TO GOVERNOR WILIi QCALIFTT AS SECRETARY OP STATE. Trip to California to Be Made in , Hope of Bettering- Health. Recovery Is Espected. SALEM, Or., Nov. 23. (Special.) Whie Governor and Secretary of State Benson expects to leave for the South within, the next 10 days, he intends to qualify for office as Secretary of State and will not resign, according to a statement given out today. While It Is known that a number of tho friends of the Governor, who has been re-elected to the office of Secretary of State, have been holding consultations with an idea of requesting him to resign owing to his ill-health. It has been learned that Mr. Benson has not been approached as yet with the propositian and it Is pos sible he will not be, should he evince a determination to continue in office. His friends all express the hope that another trip to California will prove to be greatly beneficial to his health, but the long, tiresome Journey from Califor nit to Oregon proved to tire the Governor greatly and some of his friends fear that the trip to the South may be a detriment to him physically, rather than resulting in an improvement of his condition. The Governor Is of an optimistic frame of mind and is fully confident that he will recover. In fact pome of his friends are of the opinion that he Is now well on the road to recovery and the only remedy that he needs further is a long, continued rest and a warmer climate.
