RULING ASSAILED
Commerce Court's Decision May
End Its Existence
WORK OF YEAR IS UNDONE
Virginia's Governor Refuses to Save
Wife Murderer Beatii; From
Electric Cbalr
(Sneclal to the Evening Review).
WASHINGTON. Nov. 15. That
the Interstate Commerce Commission
has been virtually shorn of its power
as the result of the Commerce Court's
decision In the long and short haul
rate case Is declared today by men
who for years have been actively con
nected with the commission's work.
They believe the decision will precipi
tate anothe. Legislative struggle to
vest the commission with authority
to act.
Sentiment in Congress against con
tinued existence of the conn is grow
ing. Ottlcials say the decision means
that the commission cannot tlx
"blanket rates." but must confine its
work to fixing rates In sierial rases.
Authority Denied.
In its opinion yesterday, the Com
merce Court held in part:
"Insofar as the commission at
tempts to determine the relation of
the long and short haul rates irre
8ective of absolute rates, it goes be
yond any authority that has been
vested in it, tor It is not In the power
of the commission to say that 100 iter
cent or 107 ei cent of any given per
centage of an unknown less than
reasonable rate to the Coast is neces
sarily a maximum reasonable and
non-discriminatory rate from the
same point of origin to an interior
point.
"The practical effect of the com
mission's order is either to compel a
blanket rate from the entire East to
the entire West, or to prevent the
carriers from getting all the business
which they now secure without loss
by making rales which enable mer
chants to meet market coniietitlon.
"In a word, unless some through
business is given up, the effect of the
orders would be to put Spokano and
other Interior points on an equality
with Seattle and other Coast points,
at which they would not be entitled
under all circumstances. In view ol
their relative locations, the -former
400 miles more or less in the Interior,
the latter on the coast."

After a session of four and a haif
hours, the jury In the case of Walter
J. Scott, charged with attempting to
extort money from A. M. Gallagher,
brought In a verdict of guilty in the
Circuit Court at 8:30 o'clock Tues
day night. Judge Hamilton an
nounced that he would pronounce
sentence next Saturday morning at
10 o'clock. The statute prescribing
penalty allows the court wide lati
tude, the punishment ranging from
a flue, without Imprisonment, to In-
Icarcerntlon for the maximum period
ol sl years.
The jury took nine ballots in all.
the first one standing 8 to 4 In favor
'of conviction. The next six were the
same. On. the eighth ballot one
Juror switched his vote from ac
quittal to couvictlon and on the next
ballot there was a unanimous vote
for a verdict of guilty. Scott re
ceived the announcement of the ver
dict with the same air of calmness
that has marked his demeanor from
the first. Deep anxiety has been
-manifested, however, by other mem
bers of his family, nearly all of whom
were present in court this morning
In anticipation of penalty being im
posed. One More to Penitentiary.
' Harry Smith, the fellow who rode
to Marshfleld In a buggy stolen from
Or. R. M. Urumfield. of tills city, and
drawn by a horse stolen also, plead
guilty this afternoon to an indict
' nient charging him with larceny.
Judge Hamilton sentenced him to the
penitentiary for an Indeterminate
period of not less than one year.
Smith Is the fellow who gained con
siderable notoriety by professing to
know the murderer of the Hill fam
ily at Ardcnwald. near Portland. His
story was Investigated and then dis
credited under the belief that he was
simply "faking" to gain a promise
of Immunity from the larceny charge.
I Ruiiget-t On Trial.
I Henry Bangert, Indicted for as
sault with a deadly weapon. Is on
trial before a jury this afternoon. He
Is charged with shooting at and
wounding Eugene R. lllester. tenant
of a farm on Cow Creek, near Glen
dale, which Bangert had been com
pelled by law to give up to his wife
when she seecred a decree of divorce.
The evidence against Bangert is prac
tically, uncontradicted and his con-'
viction In quick time Is a foregone
conclusion. His attorney. J. O. Wat
son, appointed by the court to act
for Bangert. appears to have nothing
on which to base a defense, except
the bare statement of Bangert that
on the day he Is alleged to have com
mitted the crime he was shooting at
raH Its.
Testimony Introduced by the prose
cution was that Bangert appeared at
his former home In the early morning
of August 1, last, armed with a rifle,
and fired at lllester. who was stand
ing at the time outside of the house.
Running Inside of the house, lliester
secured his own rifle, then went out
side and fired twice at Bangert. who
replied with one shot, all bullets go
ing wild. Bangert then disappeared
and lllester went hack inside. Kif
teen minutes later, as Hiestcr was
building a Are In the kitchen, a rifle
bullet crashed through a glusa win
dow pane and struck him In the side
of the head, inflicting a sculp wound.
Bangert arrest followed.
On the day before this affair. Ban
gert told two men, Ed Ollnghonae and
F. Gaedecke, that "tomorrow was
Hlester's last day on the place,"
that he had notified him to leave and
if he did not do so he would Rhont
him. Olinghouse and Gaedecke both
testified to this threat this afternoon
Other witnesses also told of threats
made by Bangert against lllester on
other occasions. Bangert's animosity
toward Hlester was based solely on
the fact that he was occupying a fans
which he (Bangert) thought should
still be his own. Bangert is a Ger
man and about 65 years of age.
