A Vast Undertaking Monopoly in Ocean Carriage
The Interstate Commerce Commission is hearing a landmark case brought by Cosmopolitan Shipping Co of Philadelphia against Hamburg American and other lines. It accuses foreign carriers and state railways of coercive rebates and a monopoly in eastbound and interior U.S. traffic, aiming to extend U.S. commerce law to foreign trade. The case, argued weeks ago, tests the commission's reach over foreign commerce and signals possible congressional expansion next winter to cover foreign trade. Hamburg American is cited as building a monopoly of eastbound traffic from several major U.S. cities toward Europe, with alleged unfair methods stifling competition and affecting American producers and shippers.

Kaufmann Murder Case Delays Jury As Arguments Continue
Flandreau SD June 20 The Kaufmann murder trial did not go to the jury Wednesday evening as defense counsel Judge Frank R Alkens continued the closing. The judge stressed lack of motive for Mrs Kaufmann to kill Agnes Parrets by inches and defended Dr Germain for his public hospital transfer of the girl. He assailed Peter Erickson as a coward for not aiding the girl and noted the improbability of the girl submitting to the treatment given the proximity of nearby houses.
