(From n Staff Correspondent.) VASHINGTON, May 90.—(Special gram,)—The culmination of the action of e shippers’ meeting, held in Omaha on May 2, came today when a committee ap- pointed at that meeting, accompanied by many senators and representatives . from | Nebraska, Missourl, Towa, Minnesota, Wis- consin and 1llinols, had a conference with | Attorney General Wickersham, at which | the committee presented to the head of the | Tele- | Department of Justice an urgent appeal| that the machinery of that department be | set tn motion under the terms of the Bhei-| 11 act to dlssolve the assoclation of rail- | roads known as the Western Trunk Line company asd to enjoin the raliroads and thelr agents froth putting in effect and col- lecting the advances promulgated by the assoolation through its agent, W. H. Hos- mer of Chicago. The appeal of the shippers was presented by Hon. Willlam Duff Haynie of Chicago, counsel for the lllinois Manufacturers' as- soclation. He represented that the obe noxlous tariffs were to become effective June 1 and that shippers despaired of get- tng any action uhder the interstate com- merce law, since that action would neces- satlly involve complaint, hearing and argu- ment, and consequently long delay. The sdvances of June 1, he said, would fol- low numerous other advances that had boen made Kince the Hepburn law took effect, and the unanimous expression of the meeting of shippers at Omaha was to the effect that It would be impossible for the producers, manufacturers and consumers to bear this additional burden. Urge Wickersham to Act. For this reason and for the reason thai both houses of congress had refused to exempt rallroads from the operation of the Sherman law, the shippers, finding rail- roads deaf to thelr appeals, decided to In- voke the power confarred on the attorney general ‘by the terms of that statute to prosecute combinations in restraint of trade. It was urged upon the attorney general that in the famous Transmissouri Freight ssoclation case the fedefal courts had per- ‘petually enjoined all members of that asso- clation both from conUinuing thelr con- spiracy and from entering Into any similar conspiracy In futvre. Inasmuch as a num- ber of defendants, enjoined In that proceed- ing, are members of the trunk line com- pany, it was strongly represented that, if that company was shown to be in a con- spiracy, those roads were in contempt of the federal courts, By request of the attorney general, the \embers of the shippers' committee re- ined after the departure of senators @ representatives to discuss with him in detall the basis of the complaint he was asked to flle and evidence that would be forthcoming in support of the hllegations that would necessarily be embodied in such w bill. This discussion was continued for auite two hours. E. J. McVann, manager of the traffic bureaus of the Omaha Commerclal club; H. G, Wilson, transportation commissioner of the Kansas Clty Commercial club; John M. Glenn, secretary of the Illinols Manu- facturers' association; W. J.

The attorney general was deeply Inter- ested In the presentations made by the traffic experts and not content with cov- ering tully the ground on the conspiracy question, drew them out on the reason- ableness of the proposed advances, the | possible justificaflon of them and. the | foellng of shipping public with regard | them. The traffic men were unani-| 1aous and emphatlc in the statement that, | based ¢n all their investigations and tle| records of the rallroads themselves, the Advances wereunjustificd and unreason- | ble, and that they expressed the feeling e t0 | which {bers of the crew, whic Chinese Are Not Talking About the Boycott Now On Opinion Prevails in California that Movement is Made to Sccure Some Legislative Concessions, SAN FRANCISCO, May 20.-Local Chi- nese are reticont concerning the reported organization of a general boycott against American goods.

The heavy undertow and the great depth at which the wreck lies are re- tarding the operations of the uivers, who are only able to work two hours each tide; It has been found impossible to raise the sunken craft to the surface so the submarine will be attached by chains to pontoons after which, at each high tide, it will be towed In near shore, until shal- low water is reached.

NEW YORK, May 30.—New York today observed Memorial day not with tradi- tlonal ceremony, but with the unusual honor of the presence in the city of the president of the United States to review the parade of the veterans. Ideal weather conditions prevailed. Enormous crowds were drawn to the streets and avenues through which marched the rapidly thin- ning ranks of the blue, and a great crowd was massed about the stand at the Sol- diers' and Sallors' monument, where Pres- ident Taft watched the Grand Army men and kindred organizations pass in a re- view. As usual, the day was kept as a general holiday, and after the morning's impres- slve ceremonial was over, the city's throngs gave themselves up to recreation in the ecity. President Taft arrived early from Wash- ington and was driven to the residence of his brother, Henry W. Taft. Break- fast there was followed by a mesting with the other members of the reviewing party and a briet reception at the Square hotel, The trip to the reviewing stana was then In order, with the old guard as the bresident's special escort and a guard of honor, comprising the veterans' ecorps, ar- tillery, military soclety of the war of 1812 The distinguished party invited to sur. | round Mr. Taft on the reviewlng stand comprised Major General Danfel Sickles and Major General Jullug Stahl, Brigadier Generals Anson G.

Old warriors who might well clalim the privilege of riding, sturdily clustered about the ghimmering flags that long ago won thelr ‘tove and devotion. Some were in- clined to twtter even, while many of them stepped caretully and slow; but all along the line that eemprised the members of the four Omaha pots the port of the aging marchers was good.to see.

Eariler in the day most of them had assisted In the ceme- teries to decorate with sweet flowers the resting places of the old-time marchers who have gone on ahead. Now they were in & mood to take joy to the full from the touch of hand and kindly exchanges ot greeting. From the sidewalks friends and relatives, old and young, viewed the veterans with the interest that never dies, and the patri- otic glow of the colors and uniforms was reflected In kindling eyes. The spectators were thoroughly en rapport with the col- umns forming before their view, and they let the fact be known. Judge W. W.
