that some method be provided by which

; Tha need of control over railway
capitalization is again urged upon th
attention of congress as a subject con

. Referring to the adoption by th
National Association of Railway Com
missioners of a uniform cod of car
demurrage rules, the report says it is
estimated that the general -enforcement
of these rules will be equivalent to
the addition of 100,000 cars to th
country's available car supply and that,
incidentally, many unlawful , advan
tages which powerful shippers have
been able to secure : through loo' car
service rule will be remedied.

; J i Becomes increasingly evident that
complete freedom ' from discrimination
can be secured, only by a complete sep
aration of the business of transporta
tion rrora all other business.
"The evils most . difficult to detect
and prove today are those arising from
tho Identification' of ownership of car

from the pretense that services per
formed by shippers ' for themselves are
In reality services for the carriers, to
be paid for by the latter."
Recommendation Is made for addi

road to supply, safety appliances and
to see they are maintained In the beat

Seattle,. Wash., Deo. 21. The Alaska
Steamship . company has been notified by
the department of commerce and labor
at Washington that the government will
not pay for the passage and other ex
penses incurred in transporting the 193
victims of , the wreck of the shin Colum
bia, which -occurred at Scotts Cape light,
near unaiaska, on " April 80 last from
Unaiaska to Seattle.
The department holds that the law
covering expenditures to relieve ticrsons
ln distress from shipwreck applies only
to seamen, and while the department is
willing to pay for the men actually

of 'the crew. It refuses to allow a cent
for any of the other sufferers. The total
claim is for 312,420. -
The Columbia was a cannery shin

Some of the administration officials
fear an investigation will furnish cam
paign material to the Democrats and
Insurgents. ' It Is .urged, however, that
in view of the great publicity given' the
charges, It would harm the administra
tion more to remain silent
The demand -by Ball inger 'that the
forest service, at the head of which la
Gifford Pinchot, be Included In the In
vestigation, and ' the statement In his
letter that officials of the forest serv
ice furnished the inspiration for the
charges, have aroused Intense Interest
here. 4 , ,
' This is the nearest approach to open
hostilities between ' Bal linger and Pin
chot since Taft - put the lid upon the
controversy by his letters to Ballinger
and Pinchot while on his way to the
Pacific coast on his recent tour of tbe
ooiyitry, .. i
After the Ballinger matter had been
talked over ln the cabinet meeting to
day, it was determined that the admin
istration would proceed to press the in
vestigation at the request of Ballinger.
Senator Jones, after reading the let
ter In thV senate today, declared Bal
linger did not want a whitewash. ' He
said If the charges were true Ballinger
was not fit to hold office. The people
or the atat of Washington, he said.
demanded an investigation, to show
whether tbe charges were true or not.
