Day's Grist in South Chicago

PIP SUNKEN SHIP HILL OF AIR Novel Means Employed by Capt. Welcher to Raise and Two Derelict. South Chicago, Juno 20. Captain W. If. WeU-her of the Lake Michigan Car Ferry company ha.s taken u wry novel means of raising car ferry No. 2, which turned turtle in the vicinity of the Chicago harbor last fall and has b.-n submerged in the lako ever ttlnce. Several companies have mude offers to raise the boat, but tho cheapest was f40,000. These car fi-rrys aro enormous thlnxH and the raising is made doubly difficult by the fact that the engines are in the stern of the ship and it is hard to balance her. Captain TV cither, however, conceived the idea of pumping the upturned ship's hull full of air and floating her upside down. The plan worked remarkably well and the ship was soon raised so that it would bo towed all the way to the break water at South Chicago. When she was about to be taken to deep wuter where an attempt was to be made to turn her over, the air was accidently allowed to escape from her hold and she sunk again. The means taken to preserve the balance on account of the heavy engines In the stern was to attack several car loads of crushed stone to the how and the ship then iloatod evenly. Captain Welcher Is again at work, however, pumping the hull full of air, and it will not be long, he says, before the ship will ho taken out where she can ho righted. Instead of costing many thousands of dollars the ship will now be saved for the company by ono of Its employes and it Is naturally very grateful to the captain for solving the problem. As soon as the ship Is floated again it will ho brought into port and will bo given a thorough overhauling to clean her after six months under the water of Lake Michigan. Fire on Erie Avenue. An overheated chimney caused a fire at the residence of Frank Hleyor of 9218 Frio avenue, South Chicago. Engine number 4G made the run and had no difficulty in subduing the flames The building Is owned by Edward Cosgrove. Runaway Nearly Wrecks Wagon. A bad accident was narrowly averted today on Ninety-second street when a horso bitched to a light delivery wagon belonging to Oscar Smith of the South Chicago Dyo works ran away and was only prevented from smashing up the wagon and posibly Injuring somo one by the prompt action of Norse Ltrbe. who ran out and stopped the animal and turned over the rig to the owner. The animal was tied to a weight but became frightened at a piece of flying paper and ran away dragging the weight with him. Firemen Beat Railway Employes. The South Chicago firemen met and defeated the crack Calumet street railway employes by the score of S to 0. The feature of the game was the batting of "Beef" lielmal of the firemen's team who made a homo run In the last Inning with two men out. The ball was biffed clear over the fence. The firemen are now ready to meet the policemen and will bo willing to put up a largo side bet. They defeated the policemen last year and aro ready and willing to attempt it again this season.

BIGGESTTHlfiG SO FAR

Charges Made Before the Inter state Board That Raise the Largest Issue Yet. STEAMSHIP COMPANY ACCUSED Said To Ee Backed by the German Government, Too. liaises an International Question Which a Giant Alleged Monopoly Is Involved, Hitting All Our Importers. in Washington. June 20. The interstate commerce commission has decided to institute a proceeding of inquiry and investigation into the affairs of the Hamburg-American Packet company, which is charged by l'eter Wright & Sons, general agents at Philadelphia of the Cosmopolitan Shipping company and the Cosmopolitan lines, with pooling and maintaining monopolies in restraint of trade. The inquiry is expected to be one of the most stupendous ever undertaken, and of a character different from any that ever before has engaged the attention of the commission. Complete Monopoly Is Asserted. The inquiry will have to deal with an alleged combination between railroads in the United States and the (Jerruan shipping concern, and therefore interests every United States producer, manufacturer or shipper aspiring to introduce his goods to foreign consumers. According to the complaint on which action was taken by the coinmission the Hamburg-American racket company has built up a complete monopoly of the east-bound traffic originating at Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Minneapolis, Duluth, Cleveland and other manufacturing centers of the United States Intended for interior ports or places on the continent of Europe. The complaint reviews what it alleges to be unfair methods in stifling competition. Huns the Whole Business. The Cosmopolitan Shipping company, of Philadelphia, which figures as the complainant, operates lines to Rotterdam, Leith and Copenhagen. The charges allege that an ironclad trust In trans-Atlantic freight-carrying exists between the Hamburg-Ameri; an Packet company, the North German Lloyd, Scandanavian-American line and the Wilson (Hull) line, and that this pool apportions the volume of traffic ach of its members shall carry, and from what port or ports each line shall make its sailings, thua involving the apportionment of traffic originating in western cities both as to character and amount between the cities of the North Atlantic seaboard. INTERNATIONAL QUESTION Aecused Corporation Backed by Ger manyBrief Reply to the Charges. In charging that the HamburgAmerican Packet company in Its almost absolute control of east-bound and west-bound traffic between interior points of the United States and Hamburg is a monopoly in restraint of trade, the complaining company raises an international question. The allegation is made that the foreign corporation is backed by the German government, dictates terms routes and rates to shippers all over the United States who forward goods to Baltic ports, diverts freight to and from United States ports at its own will, without regard to the natural flow of trade, and uses coercive and unlawful methods to crush competition. The complainant says: "Not a pound of freight can move from an interior city of the United States via the six great Atlantic ports to Hamburg without the permission of the Hamburg-American Packet company. Thus a company, foreign in its control, dictates the rates, the line, the method, the routes and every other condition hauled his corn to the elevator yesterday, having hauled about 1,600 bushels. A nice little shower came yesterday. In spite of all the late rains, this shower helps garden truck to develop at a rarid rate.

New York. June 20. The reply of the Hamburg-American Steam Packet company to the charges preferred before the Interstate commerce commission by Peter Wright & Sous, Philadelphia agents of the Cosmopolitan Steamship company, will it is understood, be In the nature of a general denial. Einil L. Boas, general manager in this country of the HamburgAmerican line, before he had learned Just what the charges were, made public the following statement. T have so far seen nothing authoritative regarding this matter, but have only heard read to me a newspaper despatch said to contain an abstract of certain charges made by Puter Wright & Sons of Philadelphia agsiust our line before the interstate commerce commission. Most of these charges are so wild and reckless that It seems almost incredible they should form the basis of a statement submitted to a judicial body like the interstate commerce commission. It Beems needless to go into these charges; they are so absurd. The commission will dispose of them." Rash Deed of an Indian. Buffalo, N. Y., June 20.
