BOARD IS DISCOURAGED Sates , for Hearings Set, but Only Information Presented Comes From Railroads Will Try Once More, October C3. SALEM, Or., Oct. IT. (Special.) Freight shippers are free in making complaints when their Individual Interests are af fected by the car shortage, but they fail to appear with a presentation of facts when the Railroad Commission holds a formal hearing with a view to relieve the troubles. This attitude of the shippers was-disclosed when the Commission held Its first hearing In Portland, October 10. No shipper appeared at that time to as sert his grievance. This apparent Indifference on the part of shippers is believed to be due to tne general disposition expressed In the old saying that what Is everybody's business Is nobody's business. Each shipper leaves to the others the task of presenting griev ances shared by all. Each is busy with his own private affairs and roes not take time to attend the hearings held by the Commission. Unless this attitude shall be radically changed, the Commission will abandon the effort to investigate the car shortage. A member of the Rallroau. Commission said today: The Railroad Commission has been investi gating1 the car shortage question. The first hearing was held at Portland, October 10, and the next hearing will be held on October 23 at the office of the Commission In Salem. Shippers in this vicinity who have suffered from car shortage will then nave an opportu nity to be heard. Other hearings will be held In the Southern part of the state and in Eastern Oregon. Portland shippers, through the transporta tion committee of the Chamber of Commerce, complained of the car shortage and the first hearing was held In Portland for the con venience of Portland shippers. Although the matter was duly advertised none of the ship pers appeared at the hearing and the Commis ' slon was obliged to adjourn the meeting without getting any information from the ship pers. Unless the shippers take an interest In these hearings and corns in and give testimony the Commission can accomplish but little as it will have to rely solely upon the railroads for its Information. If more interest is not shown by the shippers In future hearings it is likely they will be discontinued. GIVE POWER TO COMMISSION Fulton Says His Proposed Amend ment Will Overcome Difficulties. ASTORIA, Or., uct. 17. (Special.) Sen ator Fulton firmly believes that his pro posed amendment to the Federal Con stitution will, when adopted, provide an effective means of overcoming difficulties such as the Interstate Commerce Commis . elon is now encountering In the proposed prosecution of the Southern Pacific Rail road Company, for granting rebates. In discussing it and the statement of Commissioner Lane this evening,, the Sen ator said "Yes, I read the statement of Commis-" sloner Lane of tne Interstate Commerce Commission, published In The Oregonian today. He says they have discovered that ' the Southern Paciflo has been granting rebates on state shipments, but he doubts the power of the Commission to sustain a prosecution therefor as the acts of Con gress apply and can apply only to inter state commerce. Of course, the commis sion . can do nothing, for the power of Congress to regulate commerce Is confined by the Constitution .to interstate ship ments. This situation, however, empha sizes the importance of the amendment I propose to the Constitution. Laws pro hibiting rebates and preferential rates should apply to all shipments, state and Interstate. It is not my purpose to de prive the states of the power to regulate their domestic commerce in cases where Congress shall take no action. My po sition Is that Congress should have the power so that It may exercise It in proper cases, to make Its laws uniform and gen eral In application, as well to state as to Interstate commerce. There will doubt less always be many matters left to the states to regulate, such, for Instance, as the construction of depots, fencing tracks, etc., but all laws of Congress designed to prevent trusts, monopolies, rebates, preferential rates and the like, should apply to state as well as Interstate com merce. The amendment I propose to, offer will be substantially as follows: Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America In Congress assembled, two-thirds of both Houses concurring, that the follow ing article be proposed to the Legislatures of the several states for an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which, when ratified by three-fourths of said Legls ' latures. shall be valid to all Intents and purposes as a part ot the said Constitution, namely: Article XVI. Section. 1. The power of Congress to regulate commerce, in addi tion to the power It may now exercise in that behalf, shall extend to and Include the domestio commerce of the several states, reserving, however, to each state the power to enact such laws in regulation of its do mestic commerce as shall not conflict with any act or a provision of any act of Con gress or with any rule or regulation law fully made pursuant thereto. DEXIES SHIP REFUSED AID Second Mate Barry of Leelanaw ; Tells of Visit to Nelsons Lagoon. TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 17. (Special.) Second Mate Barry, of the steamer Leelanaw, says there Is no truth In the published stories that the Leelanaw re fused to pick up the crew of the wrecked ship John Currier In Nelsons Lagoon.

BAPTISTS LEARX OF WORK DOXE IX THE FAR EAST. More Hindus Have Wept for Their Sins Since Last October Than for Lack of Bread. SALEM, Or., Oct. 17. (Special.) One of the most honored ministers in the state had charge of the devotional meeting this morning. Rev. W. P. El more. The Sunday school hour was con ducted by James Edmunds, who gave an Informal address on the equipment of the teacher and the school. There are, he said, 1.250,000 Sunday school teachers In the country and over 50.000 additional of ficers, making a vast army of urtpaid Christian workers. Mr. Edmunds is swinging a successful campaign for new members in the West. Mrs. L. G. Baldwin, of Portland, repre senting the Travelers' Aid. occupied 10 rntnutes in telling a wonderful story il lustrating the value of work for the pro tection of girls coming to a large city. Rev. Arthur Rider, of the Baptist Mis sionary Union, gave a fine address on foreign missions. Some significant move ments in the Christian world were treated. As the result of the revival In Wales 5000 were converted in Assam., A larger number of people In India have wept for their sins since last October than have wept for lack of bread. The marks of conversion have been genuine. In many cities of China not one man in 10 now goes to the temples for worship. The power of Idolatry is largely broken in that land. A leading editor among the Chinese in San Francisco said re cently: There will not.be a single joss In San Francisco in the new Chinatown. This editor also expressed joy over a message he had just read stating that the empress dowager had promulgated a constitutional form of government for China, The Missionary Union has lately sent a brilliant college man, active in Y. W. C. A. work In Johns Hopkins University, to Tokio, Japan, to work with the 80,000 young men of the Im perial University. i Mr. Rider urged attention to the mis sion study class movement. The contri butions to the society last year were $3100. Dr. J. W. Brougher preached a power ful missionary sermon, laying special stress on pastoral responsibility, in the evangelization of the world. This Is the chief mission of the Baptist denomina tion. More emphasis should be laid on the command "Go" than on the other, "Baptize." "I would rather be a Meth odist or Presbyterian," he said, "and be obedient to that command than to be a Baptist and be disobedient to it" We have men enough to evangelize the world," he Insisted, If they were conse crated to the service. We have money enough also if we would use It "If my church alone the live members would give 5 cents a day to missions, that would mean over $18,000," he added. He sug gested that it would be well to secure a double bank and drop into It 5 cents a day for missions and the same amount for local church work, asking wealthy members to do more. A greatly enjoyed devotional service was led by Rev. S. C. Lapham at 1:30. "Sowing Beside All Waters" . was the theme treated by Rev. J. L. Whirry, who has had much successful experience In personal work.
