TIIE MORNING OKEGONIAN, WEDNESD VY, 3IAT SO, 1906. flATES NOT EQUAL Commission Takes Up Com plaint of Walla Walla. DATE FOR HEARING . SET Railroads Accused of Discrimination Against Walla. Walla in Favor of Spokane and Cities on Puget Sound. OL.TMPIA. Wash., May 29. (Special.) Complaints have been served on the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern, the O. R. & N. and the Washington & Colum bia River itallway Companies, as defend ants In the case In which the Railroad Commission 1h plaintiff, set for hearing at Walla Walla Tuesday, June 26, tp pass upon the demand made by the business men of Walla Walla for a Jobbing rate. The complaint sets out that on all goods shipped from Walla Walla or other points on the lines of the Washington & Colum bia River Railway Company, destined to I points on the Northern Pacific north and 1 west ofi Hunt's Junction and Pasco, the freight charges are made-up of the sunj of the two locals from Walla Walla to Hunt's Junction, and from Hunt's Junc tion to the point of destination, and that the same rule applies on goods shipped over these two roads from Walla Walla to Connell, and also to Spokane. The O. R. & N. Co. has In force a freight tariff from Walla Walla to points . on its own line wltlhn the state, and the commission charges that these rates are "excessive and In many instances double the charges made by the same railroads in other parts of the state on their lines for like distances and for points similarly situated, and that the railroads are, therefore, "unjustly discriminating against the shippers in the locality of Walla Wal la, to their great detriment and damage, and the demand Is made that such unjust charges be abrogated and discontinued. The probable Intent of the commission to relieve the situation by the lowering of distance tariff rates Is Indicated by the subsequent clauses of the complaint, which deal with this phase of the situa tion at length. It Is alleged that the railroads have es tablished what Is known as class and com modity rates on freight consigned from Seattle. Tacoma. Everett, Snohomish, Bel llngham and Spokane, and that all other shipments In less than carload lots ex cepting the special freight rates hereto fore referred to from Walla Walla are groverned and controlled by the distance tariff enforced by the different railroads. This distance tariff, it is alleged, fixes rates which are greatly In excess of the commodity tariffs, and in many instances doubles the amount.of the commodity tar iffs for like distances and under similar conditions, particularly In relation to rates In Eastern Washington; that, therefore, an unjust discrimination exists, the rail roads unjustly discriminating in favor of certain localities as against other local ities, "in this, that freight originating in Spokane and destined to other points in Eastern Washington can be and Is car ried for approximately one-half the sum that similar freight originating at other points of like distance can be and is car ried under similar conditions." The commission. In its complaint, then charges "that said distance tariffs, as charred by said defendant railroads, are unjust and unfair and greatly In excess of what would be fair. Just and reasonable rates, and the same are unjustly discrim inatory against localities other than those possessing special commodity rates, and the same should be modified and changed, and a fair, just and reasonable rate or rates substituted therefor." What Is known as the Eureka Junction grain rate Is then complained, against. It is alleged that wheat shipments origi nating at Summit, 40 miles beyond Eureka Junction, pays 15; cents to Puget Sound, and that wheat shipments originating at Pleasant View, only 20 miles from Eureka Junction, must pay 164 cents to Puget Sound, shipments in both Instances being carried through Eureka Junction. This, It is charged, is unjust discrimination. In addition to the foregoing, it is be lieved the complaint about the condition of the Pasco depot will be transferred from the Colfax hearing to that at Walla Walla a week later. WHO STIRS BLACK HUNDRED Pouma Adressps Question to Cabinet. Neglect of Famine Sufferers. ST. PETERSBURG, May 29 The spirit of the lower house was much calmer today. At the opening of the session a communication from Premier Gore mykln was read regarding the death sentence Imposed by a court-martial at Riga on eight workingmen accused of political murder and robbery had been transmitted to War Minister Rudlger. M. Nabukoff, leader of the Constitutional remocrats, presented an interpellation demanding to know who was responsible for the provocative Black Hundred tele grams printed In the Official Messenger since the assembling of Parliament. The Interpellation asks specifically whether they were printed with Premier Gorem ykln's permission, and if so what was the purpose of their publication. Michael Stakovlch, a Marshal of the Nobility .of Orel, and Count Ileydon, a Marshal of. the Nobility from St. Petersburg, while sup porting the interpellation, objected to the statement that such publications were shaking the authority of the Emperor, to whom they were addressed, and upon their request the words referred to were withdrawn and the interpellation was unanimously adopted. A long discussion of the famine existing In several districts followed, during which the government was most severely de nounced for Its refusal to help the peas ants who had participated in agrarian disorders. M. Lossoft, a peasant member from Tamboff, In a heated speech, declared that Russia is being punished for the sins of the people. He recalled that in the days of eld there were elements in Jeru salem, in the time of Christ, who did iot desire peace, and that similarly the Rus sian government refused to heal the wounds of the country and compelled the people to suffer famine. Other speakers charged the government with being re sponsible for all the agrarian disorders. Several of the orators were so vehement that the president called them to order. The debate ultimately was Interrupted by the news of the sudden death of M. Avertanoff, a member from Simbirsk, whereupon the House adjourned.

The report of Messrs. Neill and Reynolds, special com. missioners of the President, regarding their investigation Into the sanitary and other conditions existing at the several packing-houses, probably will not be sub mitted befpre Thursday.

Neill and Reynolds will then submit complete detailed state ments of the conditions as they found them. Representative Garner, of Texas, and other members or the Texas delegation In Congress today received a dispatch from John T. I.ytel, secretary of the Texas Cattle-Raisers' Association, recommending a modification of the mnat inspection amendment, whereby the expenses of the Inspection shall be borne by the Govern ment. Mr. Garner said tonight he had been informed the President would not support this modification. STJLZER WANTS MEAT REPORT Moves lit House for Publication of What Inquisitors Found. WASHINGTON, May 29. Representa tive Sulzer, of New York, today Intro duced a resolution calling upon the Presi dent, "If not incompatible with the pub lic interest, to send to the House at his earliest convenience the reports of Charles P. Nelll and James Reynolds" in connec tion with their Investigation of "the meat trust, the stockyards and the meat packing-houses of Chicago' and other places and all data, exhibits and correspondence in any way relating to the same. It is understood Representative Flnlay, of South Carolina, will introduce a simi lar resolution at the suggestion of Minor ity Ijeader Williams. . Say Charges AroJClntrue. CHICAGO. May 29. (Special.) Packers deny as false and ridiculous! the charges said to be contained In the Nfeill-Reynolds report concerning the conditions under which meats are slaughtered and han dled. They invite the Government to ap point a congressional committee for the inspection of their plants. "We have never concealed anything about onr operations," declared R. C. Mc Manus, representative of Swift & Co. "On the contrary, the packers .keep open house all the time and their work is un der the actual inspection of the public. The big packing-houses pride themselves on their cleanliness. If any of the charges made were true, no one should be more glad to welcome the inspection and co-operation in procuring sanitary conditions. "The packers are agreed that if the Government will appoint a sanitary en gineer who will devise a system to more effectively procure sanitation, they will gladly act upon his recommendations, even to building van expensive system of sewers. The charges, in the main, are preposterous and untrue." British Public Is Excited.. LONDON. May 30. The revelations re garding the beef packing industry in the United States have created a tremendous sensation here. Questions will be raised In the House of Commons today with a view to ascertaining how far It is in the Government's power to protect the Brit ish public. The London newspapers this morning praise President Roosevelt for his courage in probing the matter. Inquiries at Liverpool in the American Provision Exchange yesterday elicited the view that the local supervision was too keen to permit of bad goods reaching British Importers. Mrs. Davis Must Stand Trial. Nellie Davis, the woman held by the police as a diamond thief, was arraigned before Judge Cameron yesterday morn ing on a charge of larceny from a resi dence. She pleaded not guilty, and was held to the Circuit Court. After her ad vent In court the woman was asked to pose for her photograph for the rogues' gallery collection. She refused to do this and a photographer had to be brought to the Jail and considerable difficulty was experienced before the picture was se cured. . . Mrs. Jefferson Gets the Money. BOSTON. May 29.

INDICTMENTS TO FOLLOW Punishment Awaits Former Officials Who Winked at Stealing of $1, 000,000 Economy Made by New Management. NEW YORK, May 29. The Tribune to morrow" will say: The special grand jury, in its investi gation of the Mutual Life Insurance Com pany's affairs, obtained evidence yester day that many thousands of dollars were taken annually for 20 years from the treasury of the company by means of fake bills, purporting to be for printing and supplies for the company furnished through the firm of George McKibben at Son, bookbinders of No. 35 Park street. Part of the evidence was furnished by George McKibben. head of the firm, who was a witness in the afternoon. It was said about the Criminal Courts building yesterday that the unearthing of such proofs of fraud probably would re sult In indictments against former offi cials of the Mutual who had guilty knowledge of the frauds. The entire amount of money taken from "the Mutual treasury in such fashion, it Is believed amounted to more than $1,000,000. An official of the Mutual said yesterday that since the change of administration a saving of $100,000 a year In the ex penses of the company's office building on Nassau street had been provided for by ordinary methods of economy. A saving of $15,000 a year in the cost of coal burned In the building's steam plant was obtained merely by changing the size of the coaL FIGHTS FOR ITS BCSIJTESS New .York Life Sends Man to London for Purpose. LONDON, May 29. The arrival in Lon don of Emery McCl'.ntock, vice-president of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, has renewed the interest in the fight for the business of the Mutual Life. He is spending his time with the agents of the company, going over their books. Mr. McCHntock says he propably will secure an opportunity to give evidence before the House of Lords committee on Insurance. He considers that it would be absurd to ask the Mutual Life to put up $25,000,000 reserve In England and can not see how Great Britain could require American companies to keep reserves In Great Britain and refuse a similar regu lation in the case of Canadian companies. The report published in London and cabled to New York that the Duchess of Marlborough had transferred her policy to the North British & Mercantile Insur ance Company Is untrue, and it 1a also not true that the policies of Lord Wharncliffe and those held by W. N. Rutherford, M. P., for friends have been transferred. HOLD BIENNIAL CONVENTION Delegates From Women's Clubs Leave for St. Paul. Mrs. W. Wynn Johnson, the newly- elected president of the Women's Club, left Portland last night en route to St. Paul. Minn., where she will attend the biennial convention of the Na tional Federation of Women's 'Clubs. Mrs. Johnson will not represent the Women's Club indivld-ially as she has not yet been installed In office as president, but goes as the delegate of the Portland City Federation of Wom en's Clubs. Mrs. A. H. Breyman, the outgoing president, will represent the Women's Club and has already gone East, accompanied by Mrs. J. D. Hays. Other delegates to the National con vention from Oregon are Mrs. Hamil ton and Mrs. Anderson, of Roseburg, and Mrs. Sengstacker, of Marshfield. After the adjournment of the bien nial convention at St. Paul, Mrs. Hays expects to attend the convention -of the Knights of Columbus at New Haven, Conn., where she will be ac companied by Mrs. Wilson, of Ash land. The other members of the Ore gon party will return in about ten days, but these delegates will of ne cessity make a more extended visit East. AT THE THEATERS What th Prew Agent Say. BAKER COMPAXY VOICES. Extraordinary Collection at the Baker Theater. 4 Th voices of the Baker company would at tract the attention of anybody of discrimina tion. . Never In Portland has there been a moVe meritorious set of voices for stage enun ciation In the drama than Is presented by the members of the Baker company. Edgrar Baume la famous all over the country for his voice. It is a clear, ringing; earnest voice that reaches down Into your soul. William Harris has a resonant voice of richest timbre that could be distinguished among1 a thousand others. Donald Bowles has an ideal voice for sentiment and delicate intonation of sub tler moods, and his facile manipulation In upper and lower registers makes him a pos itively unique actor. The people will laugh even before Howard Russell begins to speak. No higher compliment could be paid to the effect of his voice. The dry humor of Billy Dill's voice never fails to start applause in the audience, and those who have known him longest like him best. That is the truest test of an actor- the test of time. The list could be extended until each member of the com pany were mentioned. They all have good chances In "Hands Across the Sea" this week. COMIXG ATTRACTIONS. Orpheum Vaudeville at. the Grand. There is no mistake about the Grand show this week being first class. It Is a typical Orpheum vaudeville entertainment and the specialties are excellent. T".i Broadway Trio are singers and dancers who give an Imita tion baseball game, which is a distinct nov elty. Tbe two girls and the man In the trio are expert dancers. The Clemenso Brothers are eccentric musical comedians and acrobats. The act is a big hit and the audience encores them repeatedly. Their musical dinner U something new. For this week the feature act is that given by the Lute Brothers, one of them being an armless wonder who hit a bullseye, chops wood, playing musical instru ments and does other things with his feet. The three Kelcey Sisters' are dancers and singers and Tom Ripley Is a blackface come dian, with songs and stories. "The Eternal City," There has been more talk about Hall Caine'p "The Eternal City" probably than about any other play that has been produced in the last decade. It Is a wonderful spectacle and a wonderfully dramatlb play. The scene Is an F A IT imagined one in the future for Rome. No one but Hall Caine could nave built np so re markable a stage scene. The pope of Rome appears, the Prime Minister of Italy, the King of Italy, and music written especially by the great Mascagnl Is introduced. The scenic dis play is magnificent. The cast is stupendous. Rossi, the agitator of the people, is the hero, and Roma, a ward of the Prime Minister, , is the heroine. Their lives, hemmed about as they are by intrigues of state and church, -and their final deliverance, is traced in the matchless drama. At large expense, Mr. Ba ker has secured this pfey for the fourth week of the regular Baker stock season, and the opening will occur at the Sunday matinee, June 3. The theater has been preparing sev eral weeke for this special production, and it Is expected that tbe result will even exceed the expectations of the public. PASSING OF A PIONEER Matthew O'C.

A fitting dedication of the memorial win dows presented to Portland Lodge, No. 143, B. P. O. E., by some of its members, was held last night by the Elks in secret ses sion In their temple at Seventh and Stark streets. The windows are magnificent affairs. They are of stained glass, two in number, and set in the front wall of the auditor ium, one on either side of the stage. They are each 6 feet 24 Inches in-length by 4 feet 714 Inches in breadth. The windows are duplicate. They are made of art glass, hand-painted and wrought with the fig ures indelibly burned Into the glass. The main figure is an elk set against a back ground of mountain scenery. Above is en graved "In Memoriam," and Just beneath and directly above the glass the face of a clock with the hands significantly set at the 11th hour. On either side of the figure of the elk are two white plates, and un derneath a third extending the width of the window. Across the top of the lower plate are cut the words: "The faults of our brothers we write upon the sand, their virtues upon the tablets of love and memory." Below the glass at regular dis tances are: "Charity," "Justice," "Broth erly Love" and "Fidelity." On the win dow to the left of the stage are engraved the names of the members of the local lodge who have died while in the order. These do not fill out the space in this sin gle window, and the plates in the right hand window are entirely blank, for fu ture use. Both windows are brilliantly illuminated by lights set behind. They are beautiful pieces of work.

PATRICK CASE A SCANDAL Attempt of Legislature to Grant Rice's Murderer Another Appeal , Blocked by Governor With Vigorous Message. v ALB ANT. N. T., May 29. "Little less than scandalous" is the phrase used by Governor Higgins in a veto memorandum Issued tonight regarding the law's delays in the case of Albert T. Patrick, con victed of the murder of William M. Bice in New York City In 1900. The Governor's veto is of two bills in troduced by Assemblyman Wade, of Chautauqua, to amend the code of crim inal procedure .eo as to permit an ap peal from an order denying a motion for a new trial In a criminal case on the ground of newly discovered evidence. The bills, which were introduced in the Sen ate also by Senator Smith, were gener ally understood to have reference to the Patrick case, and the Governor so de scribes them In his memorandum. The Governor says: Prolong Law's Delays. Waiving - the objection to th bills that, though general In form, they are special In their application and are Intended to grant a right of appeal to Albert T. Patrick to obtain a review of an order, if such order be made, denying his pending motion tor a new trial on newly-discovered evidence, I disapprove them for the reason that they Introduce a new procedure to our criminal law and tend to defer indefinitely the ter mination of a capital case. Patrick Case Scandalous. Rice, of whose murder Patrick is con victed, died on September 23, 1900, nearly lx years ago. The law's delays in this case' seem to be little less than scandalous. In case of extreme hardship, where the Judge before whom the motion for a new trial is made denies the defendant's motion without giving proper consideration to such evidence, the constitution provides a prac tical remedy. An amendment to the code of criminal procedure might, however, well be made, which would permit defendant's application for a new trial In a capital case to be made to any Justice of the Supreme Court within the Judicial department where the conviction was had, so that the de fendant may not be required In any case to present his motion to the Judge presiding at the trial. Recorder Goff, before whom Patrick was originally tried, has now under con sideration euch a motion for a new trial for Patrick, and the Governor has re prieved the condemned lawyer for a third time until June 18 on this account.
