THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY. JULY 6, 1906. 4 NEW BATE LAW IS IN EFFECT Prohibition of Issuance of Free Transportation Is Not in Force Until January 1. MOST PASSES EXPIRE THEN After May 1, 1908, Common Car riers May Not Move Their Own Products Except for Their Own Consumption. CHICAGO, July 5. (Special.) Copies of the new amendments of the inter state commerce act of 1887, which have come to be known as the new rate law, were received in Chicago to day and are now the subject of careful Btudy by railroad officials and attor neys. A conference of the higher railway officials and of the general counsels of railways has been called for Monday, with a view to discussing the provi sions of the law and ascertaining what is necessary for the railroads to do in order to meet with the provisions of the act. Contrary to common understanding the law takes effect and Is in force from and after Its passage, and not within 60 days, as was formerly con templated. There are two provisions of the act, however, which are not effec tive now. One of these is the provision prohibiting the Issuance of passes and all forms of free transportation except to a few excepted classes. This is not effective until January 1. 1907. The provision In section 1 of the act which prohibits a railroad company from transporting any article or com modity manufactured, mined or pro duced by It or under Its authority, does not take effect until May 1, 1908. The delayed date of enforcement of the anti-pass regulations was granted with a view to giving the railroads time to get ready for it. It would be almost a physical impossibility for the railroad companies to call in and se cure all of the annual passes which nave been issued and which are not now illegal. January 1 all of the free transportation will expire and it will be an easy matter for the railroads to comply with the provision. Time is given for the enforcement of the other provision for a similar reason. Its compliance means that all railroads must, within the time specified, sever their Interests with all business except that of a common carrier, the manufacture and salo of transportation. It is imposlble for any one to Interpret the exact meaning of the provisions of the statute or to foretell what their effect will be. This will not be known until the courts have had the op portunity to pass upon the various pro visions. Under the new law It becomes the duty of the common carrier to furnish trans portation as denned by the law upon rea sonable request therefor, and to establish through mules and through rates and to provide switch connections with lateral lines and with branch lines and to provide sidetracks for Industries which have suffi cient freight to warrant a sidetrack. Although Congress has enacted provi sions which. will enable any one to compel a common carrier to transport goods for him anywhere it has prohibited the com mon carrier from transporting its own products, unless they are for the consump tion of the road "in the conduct of Its business as a common carrier." One of the most important provisions of the law is that enlarging the section of the old law requiring statistical reports. Originally. It was advocated with a view to further prevention of the payment of rebates and of secret concessions to fa vored shippers. The changes In the- law In this respect, however, go very much further, for the commission is expressly authorised to require statistical reports from the owners of railroad property, as well as from those engaged In operating the property, and to require monthly and special reports of earnings and of ex penses. RIOTS AT VLADIVOSTOK (Continued From Fge 1.) deny the accuracy of the report of General Bader. the (ex-Governor-General, on the recent massacre of Jews there. At Tlflis, In the Caucasus, a general strike has been declared by the proletariat organisations of the city In sympathy with the demand for the pardon of 27 soldiers who have been sentenced to be shot because they refused to fire on the populace during the disturbances hero last March. The troops are greatly ex cited, and if the condemned men are exe cuted, a revolt of the garrison Is feared. STORMY SCENE IN THE HOUSE -Member Beaten by the Police Asked That They Be Punished. 8T. PETEBSBUBG. July 6. There was a stormy scene at the opening of the Lower House of Parliament today, which further emphasized the split between the Constitutional Democrats and their Radi cal allies and the Group of Toll. M. Sldelnlkoff, a Badical Cossack member of the House, was beaten while in the hands of the police last night, alter having been arrested for exhorting a crowd of people to resist the police, who were breaking up one of the mass meetings, which are becoming more frequent. M. Sldelnlkoff was searched at police headquarters, where a revolver was found. He was re leased later In the evening. When the House opened today M. Bldel nikoff gave his version of the affair and proposed that the House interpellate the Minister of the Interior, asking him what measures had been taken to punish the policemen who were guilty of assault ing a member of Parliament and to pre vent a recurrence of such Incidents in the future. 1 M. Alladin. the fiery Danton of the House, then made a wild harangue In denunciation of the government for per mitting such violations of the Inviolability of the persons of the members. He de clared that he expressed the views of the Group of Toil when he announced that if such an Incident recurred, no Minister would be permitted to speak In the House., and he could not even answer for their personal safety. The statements of M. Alladin became so violent that President Mouromtseff re peatedly called him to order and the speaker finally was forced, amid a wild tumult to leave the tribune. Interior Min ister Stolypin. who happened to be pres ent in connection with the Bialystok af fair, boldly ascended the tribune and ex plains, amid constant interruptions from the Left, that the Chief of Police had tel ephoned him last night regarding the in cident, but that his account differed so widely from that given by M. Sldelnlkoff that he must have further time for In vestigation. The Minister, however, gave the House his personal assurances that ample meas ures would be taken to assure the ln- NOW violabillty of members, and If the police were guilty In this case they would be punished. The statement of M. Stolypin was greeted with cries from the Left of "Resign and take the Chief of Police with you," which finally compelled the Min ister to cease speaking. In spite of this, M. Stoly pin's frank manner for the first time provoked a counter demonstration in favor of the government. After saying quietly, when the tumult ceased, that it was useless to proceed while the passions of the members were so high, the Min ister left the tribune. President Mouromtseft then adminis tered a severe rebuke to the members of the Left for lowering the dignity of the House by such a demonstration. His re proof was vigorously applauded by the Constitutional Democrats and -the mem bers of the Bight. M. Charnosvtoff, of Vladimir; M. Pet rajltski. of St. Petersburg; M. Takobson. of Grodno, and M. Naboukott, of St. Petersburg, in succession, took the tri bune and while supporting the Interpel lation, they severely condemned the In temperate utterances of the Group of Toil. M. Naboukoff raising thunders of applause by declaring that such menaces as those which M. Alladin Indulged in were unseemly and expressing the hope that if he, M. Naboukoff, Is beaten or killed by the police, the House will not answer one provocation with another. The interpellation eventually was adopted unanimously. GOREMYKIN CABINET REMAINS Constitutional Democrats Would Not Take Part in Hybrid Ministry. ST. PETEBSBUBG, July 5. The Coun cil of the Empire spent the day discuss ing rules of order. The relative strength of the reactionary and the liberal wings was shown on the vote to deprive mem bers of the right to present popular peti tions, which proposition was rejected af ter a warm debate. The treatment of the bill for the abro gation of the death penalty was the sub ject of general discussion in the lobbies of the Council. The general impression Is that the bill will require some modifica tions, the exact nature of which will be discussed at a caucus of the Constitu tional Democratic members tomorrow. There is much sentiment for the substi tution of a measure restricting the prac tically unlimited right of Governors-General to order offenders to be tried by military courts, allowing this to be done only in time of actual armed uprisings. This would tend to effect the same object as the civil code, which provides the death penalty only in cases of attempts on the life of the Bmperor or violation of the quarantine regulations. Premier Goremykin and all the mem bers of the Ministry except M. Stolypin were present at today's sitting of the Council. The tone of their remarks tend ed to confirm the Bechs' surme trjat the fall of the Ministry has been postponed on account of the refusal of the Consti tutional Democrats to participate in a coalition Cabinet. Premier Goremykin to day reiterated in private conversation that he was anxious to retire. The Council of the Empire today con firmed the credentials of all its members, although there remains some questions as to the validity of the election of M. Oush akoff, on account of his having been con victed and exiled to Siberia 40 years ago for participation in the first plot to assas sinate Alexander II. M. Oushakoff sub sequently was pardoned and changed his views, being now considered almost a re actionary. The domicile method the government is adapting to counteract the revolutionary spirit among the workmen is illustrated by a proclamation issued today by the Prefect of Police of Moscow. While pro hibiting under heavy penalty open-air meetings, the carrying of arms and the inciting of strikes, it orders employers of manual artisans, such as bakers, carpen ters and shoemakers, to introduce the ten-hour day instead of the 12-hour day, not to require Sunday labor and to im prove the food and lodging of employes, under the same penalties as are Invoked against the workmen. The prefect has also ordered that strik ing building trades employes shall be ex pelled from Moscow. The Moscow City Council has decided that relief for the unemployed shall not be extended to strikers. Police activity against the "patriots," who are trying to Incite anti-Jewish up risings, is reported from various sections of the country. The local authorities have taken warning from the change In senti ment in official circles at St. Petersburg since publicity was given to the Bialystok events. The policeman of Bialystok who was caught firing the revolver shots which were ascribed to Jewish revolutionists, precipitating a renewal of the massacre there, has been dismissed from the serv ice. He pleaded that he was drunk at the time and had no intention of provok ing a renewal of the excesses. The projected visit of a deputation of the lower house to the interparliamen tary conference at London probably will be abandoned Bepresentatlve men can not be spared at present, and the leaders are afraid of the irresponsible utterances of "nether-weights." Preparing for a Revolution. ST. PETEBSBUBG, July 5. A meet ing of the Congress of Peasants Unions, representing 21 provinces, with dele gates from the Social Bevolutlonary and Labor parties and the Finnish Bed Ouard, was held in Helsingfors today. The congress adopted a resolution to call a general rising if the Parliament should be dissolved, and to make all preparations for a revolution but to wait for the signal from St. Petersburg. Bodies Found Without Heads. KABS, Trans-Caucasia, July 5. The decapitated bodies of seven Mussulmen, who had been summoned to appear as witnesses at the investigation into the interracial troubles were found this evening outside the fortress. It la feared this will provoke reprisals against Armenians. Trial of Police Prefect Ordered. TVER, July 5. The prosecutor has ordered the trial of Prefect of Police Dlreleffsky on the charge of provoking riots against the Liberals after the Oc tober manifesto, the disturbances re sulting in the killing of Governor Step zoff, of Tver Coming Back Very Soon. MOSCOW, July 5. Marie Spiridonovo, who killod Chief of Police Lushenoffsky at Tambov, was today sentenced to Siberia with other prisoners. Spectators at the railway station bade her keep a stout heart, to which she replied: "We shall soon be back." Arrested With Proclamations. NIZHNI NOVGOROD, July 5.

CELEBRATED NEAR TACOMA Washington State Historical Society Unveils Monument on Historic Ground Governor Mead Delivers Address. TACOMA, Wash., July 5. (Special.) Governor A. E. Mead was the principal speaker at a celebration at American Lake today commemorating the first Fourth of July celebration ever held west of the Missouri Blver, July 4, 1841. The celebration was held under the auspices of the State Historical Society at a point between American Lake and Lake Squit lachew. This Is believed to be the exact spot on which the first celebration was held, 65 years ago. At that time Captain Charles Wilkes, U. 9. A, was on an exploration and land ed at Fort Nisqually, near which the Hudson's Bay Company maintained a post. He went inland a short distance to the flat table land where the Fourth of July celebration was held. American Lake was at that time given the name which it has ever since retained. The celebration today brought together notable orators and pioneers from all points on Puget Sound. In his address Governor Mead spoke almost entirely on the historical phase of the early explora tion of this territory. In part he said: It Is eminently befitting occasionally to pause from our all-absorbing avocations and consider the past, not only In a spirit of pride that we are permitted to be a part and par cel of- such great achievements, but because the occasion and its lessons will Inspire us to even greater things to come. So rapid has been the development of our state, so swift the movement ot the Incoming population, so eairer the race of our people for the material things of life, that the contemplation of the history of the commonwealth and the senti mental dwelling upon Its Incidents and the associations that cluster about its landmarks and places has been confined to but a small portion of our citizens. Life moves fast in this state of ours. Most of us are more concerned about the future than interested in the past. Like all healthy-minded Americans, how ever, we are adjusting ourselves. We are giving now more and more attention to the things of yesterday, the events that marked epochs in the development of the state we love so devotedly. We are growing to admire more and more the character of the man who Pi oneered this reslon. No less valiant, no less rugged, no less far-seeing than the Puritan fathers were the pioneers of the Pacific Northwest. The time will come when such historic spots as that on which we stand will be revered and hon ored as Plymouth Bock today. The Historical Society. In locating this spot Is doing a notable and praiseworthy work, one which will meet a wider appreciation as the years roll on. No longer should these historic spots and occasions go unmarked and unre membered. Captain Wilkes and his men, when they gathered here 65 years ago, per haps unconsciously performed an act of deep significance to the history of the old Oregon country. From that act, quite as much as from tbe subsequent treaties and enactments, must date dominion If not possession. Other spots there are and other occasions that merit the attention of the historian and the true citizen of the state. In reading: of the. campaigns of the Indian Wars of 1855 and 1856, I have often wondered what has become of all the blockhouses and rude forts erected by the troops. Here and there one comes upon the ruin of one of these places, but no effort seems ever to have been made by any one to preserve them or even to preserve a record of their location. And yet they played their important part In mak ing possible the present State of Washington. A plain shaft of granite marking the spot where the first Independence day celebration '..was held was unveiled with elaborate ceremonies.

Copyright 1906 by Hart Schifiher Mirx BEATS UP A BAD MAN Breathitt County Jailer Dis dains to Fire Pistol. KILLINGS ARE EXPECTED Trial of ex-Judge Hargis and ex Sheriff Callahan Will Proceed at One, Although Prosecution's Witnesses Are Away. BEATTLVILLE. Ky., July 5. (Special.) After three of the 12 jurors who are to name the fate of ex-Judge James Hargis and ex-Sheriff Ed Callahan, of Breathitt County, charged with the assassination of Attorney James B. Marcum, had been se lected today, the defense announced that it withdrew Its former petition for post ponement, as it was now ready for trial. This was a move entirely unexpected by the prosecution, as many of its witnesses are missing, and are supposed to be hid ing in the mountains. Judge Dorsey, special- selected from the extreme western section of the state to try the feud case, refused the plea of the prosecution for a continuance, declar ing that he would snare the missing wit nesses from their fastnesses. Eight of them were brought in today by special bailiffs named for that duty, but the state's main witnesses are still missing. Seven men had been selected for jury service when court was adjourned to night. That there will be a killing or two dur ing the trial is a foregone conclusion, and that there was not one last night was due to the coolness of Jailer Lewis Spicer, one of the most fearless men in the mountains. Tom Cockrill, of Breath itt County, one of the "bad men" of the hills, and a decided feud partisan, heavily armed, had been going around all week with a "chip on his shoulder," and at last two men on the other side openly proclaimed their Intention of killing him if he tackled them. Last night Cockrill was particularly bel ligerent, when Jailer Spicer called him to order. Spicer got out his gun, but was surprised that the usually quick triggered Cockrill had not drawn.
