Governor Gillett contemplates declaring martial law at MoCloud, but does not take the war scare very seriously, and still aches for a. chance to "clean out" the bellicose Italians and Greeks in the lumber camp with 60 or 80 men. The Governor gave a reluctant consent let the dispatch of the troops to the scene of the trouble. It was not until the final dispatch from Colonel Bradbury was re ceived, telling of some overt acts on the part of the strikers, that he determined to act. and then only on the theory that the ounce of prevention will save a pound of trouble.

No sooner had they gone out for practice today than Moulton was In formed his men had been declared pro fessionals by Chairman Martin, of the registration committee of the Rocky Mountain Association of the Amateur Athletic Union.

Chamber of Commerce Asks That Distributive Rates Be Reduced and Says Harrlmun Lines Are the Chief Offenders. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 3. (Special.) The Interstate Commerce Commission today received the complaint of the Portland Chamber of Commerce against the Harriman lines in the North wtst. On the general terms the complaint alleges that the railroads are making overcharges on All manner of j shipments from Portland to points in i Oregon, Washington and Idaho. No tspe- j iflc Instances of overcharge are cited, ; but the complaint asks that the Commis- ion order a hearing to determine upon ; reasonable rates in this territory and prays for readjustment In accordance with : the findings. The complaint filed Is that taken East by N. Teal, representing the Portland Chamber of Commerce, and is the result of a. combined movement by all the prin- ipal Pacific Coast cities for lower dis tributive rates. In this matter Port land, Seattle, Tacoma, Sacramento, San Francisco and Los Angeles are united and the readjustment asked is one that is deemed necessary to protect th interests of the Pacific Coast- Among the business men of Portland who have taken an active interest in bringing about a hearing and new rate findings by the Interstate Commerce Com mission, in addition to Mr. Teal, are Henry Hahn, T. D. Honeyman, Henry Wittenberg and others. In speaking of the proceedings instituted before the Commission Mr. Wittenberg said yesterday: The distributive rates out of Portland are in many instances 100 per cent greater than the distributive rates out of cities in the central states. We feel that the railroads cannot successfully maintain these rates out of Portland. The pro ceeding is not directed against Spokane or cities similarly situated that might be considered as Pacific Coast communities. The Spokane decision, however, in gen eral terms will tend to place the cities of the Middle West on a better footing than the Pacific Coast cities. Rates will be fixed on a mileage basis and these cities with their cheaper cost of manu facture will be enabled to invade our territory- Our only salvation is the secur ing of lower distributing rates and the de velopment of water transporatlon as far East from the Coast as possible. "Portland and the Pacific Coast should unite in assisting and encouraging wafer lines in connection with the Panama Canal that we may bring freight from the East to the Coast at lower rates than those given by the railroads, and in crowding open river transportation. 'All do not realize the importance or the issue to Portland. The territory of our manufacturers and jobbers Is to the East. We cannot go West because the Pacific ' Ocean is there. But with the Eastern jobbers and manufacturers given low rates to the Western interior cities the territory of the Portland jobbers and manufacturers, unless relief is obtained, will be restricted more and more from time to time until the field become too small for those who are here."

Millmen state that th decline has stopped, beinff brought to a halt by the cost of production. Lumber can be bought from 15 to $7 cheaper now than 'at any time in years.

An uncontrollable mania for match- breaking, yesterday resulted in the arrest by the Federal authorities of Lucille re war, 1-year-old daughter of Alexander M. Dewar, 331 Halsey street, on a charge of violating the United States postal reg ulations. According to Postal Inspector Clement, .who conducted the investigation which resulted in the young woman's arrest. Miss Dewar for about a year had been writing letters to Beveral young men to each of which the name of their par ticular young woman acquaintance was forged. The letters were designed to place the several young women in an unfavorable light before their young gen tlemen friends. Friends of the young woman furnished $500 bonds for her ap pearance before the next Federal grand jury. The case is one of the most remarkable that has been called to the attention of the postal authorities in this city. Miss Dewar is the daughter of a prominent and highly respected family in the Irv- ington district. She has a pleasant home. her environments have been the best and she always has associated with the best society. It was because of these facta, that the authorities were slow to fasten suspicion on Miss Dewar and it was not until comparisons of specimens of her writing with that of the forged letters conclusively fixed the responsibility on her that hey caused her arrest. vV hen taken into custody, she admitted having i written the letters but could not give a reason for her strange conduct. The pos tal authorities are Inclined to regard the young woman not mentally sound and would not be surprised to see that fact established with the result that she may escape punishment for her wholesale vio lation of the postal regulations. It was about a year ago that the young gentlemen friends of Miss Dewar's girl associates began to receive through the mail offensive letters, written and ad dressed in a feminine hand, apparently signed by some young woman with whom they were intimately acquainted. The offenses were repeated from time to time, the contents of each letter being almost identical in the offensiveness of its language. Finally some of the letters were turned over to Postal Inspector Clement who began an investigation. When he satisfied himself that the letters were written by Miss Dewar, he con fronted her with the evidence he had gathered. At first she resented so much as an Intimation that she had done such a thing but the postal sleuth persisted and obtained from her a complete con fession, in which she said she had forged the signatures to all of the letters. In the absence of any admission from the young woman as to her motive in composing the missives, the postal au thorities suspect that she became piqued over some of the actions of her girl associates and resolved on the objec tionable form of correspondence as a , means of revenere. She informed the offi cers that she wrote the letters In her room at home and mailed them clandes tinely either in post boxes in different parts of the city or at the main postof flee building.
