(From a Staff Correspondent.) WA R! 1 1NGTON, May 30. (Special Tele- . pram.) Tho culmination of the octlon of the shippers' meet Inc. held In Omaha on May 21, came today when a committee ap pointed at that meethiR, accompanied by many senators and representatives . from Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wis consin and Illinois, had a conference with Attorney General Wlckcrsham, at which the committee presented to the head of the Department of Justice an urgent appeal that the machinery of that -department be el tn motion under the terms of the Bher i inn act to dissolve the association of rail roads known as the Western Trunk Lin. company aod to enjoin the railroads and their agents from puttlns In effect and col lecting the advances promulgated by the I assoolatlon through Its agent, W. II. llos- V.ier of Chicago. The appeal of the shippers was presented jy Hon. William Duff Haynle of Chlcato, counsel for the Illinois Manufacturers' as sociation. He represented that the ct noxious tariffs were to become effective June I and that shippers despaired of get ting any action under the interstate com merce law, since that action would neces mully Involve corc.plalnt, hearing and argu ment, and consequently long delay. The udvatices of June 1, he said, would fol low numerous other advances that had linen made since 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. 1k Wlekershnm to Art. For this reason and for the reason thai both houses of congress had refused to exempt railroad from the operation of the Sherman law, -the shippers, finding rail roads deaf to their appeals, decided to In. voke the power-conferred on the attorney general by the terms of that statute to prosecute combinations . lu restraint of trade. It was urged upon the 'attorney general that In the famous Transmtssourl Freight association case the federal courts had per petually enjoined all members of that asso ciation both from continuing their con spiracy and from entering Into any similar conspiracy In future. 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. liy request of the attorney general, the members of the shippers' committee re ffeulned after the departure of senators J'i representatives to discuss with him In detail the baaia of the complaint he was asked to file and evidence that would be forthcoming In support of the allegations that would necessarily bo embodied In such Va bill.

SAN FRANCISCO, May !0.-Local Chi nese are roticont concerning the reported organization of a general boycott against American goods. None ot tho powerful six companies' official's will discuss the movement, but It Is learned that It had Its origin In China, and not here. The or ganisers are said to be well-to-do Chinese who cither have been refused original ad mission to this country or have been sent back on attempting to re-enter the United States after previous residence. Another source of complaint seems to be the rigid system of examinations of Chi nese entranta at this port. Wealthy local merchants on re-entrance after visits to China are said to have complained bltteiiv of these minute physical examinations, particularly the new "tissue test" to de termine age and general condition of health. The general opinion of those In touch with fhe local Chinese business world Is that the movement is primarily Insnlrrd to bring about the restoration to this eltv of the Chinese immigration detention depot which was recently removed to Angel Is land and to effect an abatement of the physical examination which the Chinese claim to be humiliating.
