of the Famine

In In-
OAKLAND.. Cat., Feb. 8.-Dr. Maud
Allen, formerly of Portand, Oregon,
a medical missionary from India, who
arrived today on the steamer Doric
of the Santa. Fe has decided not to
renew Its contract: with the Armour
freight car line when K expire next
spring. I the atatsWnt made by the
Record-Herald. The company has
been busily engaged for several
months building fruit cars and by the
time of the expiration of the contract
will have between 4000 and 4500 cars
ready for carrying traffic. It Is also
said that the Southern Pacific will
break Its contract with the Armour
Company and go Into the fruit carry
ing buMncna on its own account. Such
being the case there will be at least
SifOO and possibly 4000 fruit cars for
which the Rrmour Company will have
to find other business.
The decision of the two companies
Is considered a severe blow to the
private car business and to comrmnles
owning and controlling private car
lines. The three companies which
have been carrying the fruit out of
California for years and which are
either owned or controlled by the Ar
mour people are the Continental Fruit
Express. Kansas City Fruit Express
and the Fruit Growers Express. The
latter company formerly belonged to
the Earl Brothers. None of the offi
cials who have the management of
these lines for the Armours would
talk regarding the matter. It Is
stated that the Armours have at least
tl5.000.000 tied up In the private car
lines which are engaged In carrying
fruit
Under the present system the con
traots with the car lines are made so
that the railroad companies can call
on them for cars during the season
up to a certain number, said to have
been last year about 2000 for each
road. For some reason. It I stated,
cars were not furnished with suffi
cient promptness and In sufficient
numbers to take care of the trade,
ims is atiegea to Have resulted In a
great loss of fruit and the railroads
stood the blame. Another factor for
the rallrodaa going Into the business
is said to be the fact that they are
compelled to pay the private car lines
three-quarters of a cent for every mile
made by every private car, and In the
case of the fruit trade this amounts
to nearly $125,000 a year.
The present contract of the Santa
Fe with the Armour was entered Into
three years ago, and since then the
Santa Fe has bulH between 1500 and
2000 fnut cars which it now operates.
WHY ROUTE' WAS CHANGED

Walker concluded Ma testimony be
fore the senate committee on lnter-

Haupt, another member of the isth

the curves In the Nicaragua route.

proper quarantine regulations, the
health condition of the region along

proved. MAY BE PANAMA ROUTE.
