Morally Unfit For
War Says Pacifist
As a claim for military exemption,
William J. Black, an Estacada farmer,
alleges that he is a "Pacifist and Con
stitutionalist who holds law unconsti
tutional and immoral."
Such was tne answer on his ques
tionnaire filed with the local board
"'T.', r : .
to whether he belonged to any well
recognized religious Beet whose creed
forbad warfare. In addition to this
claim Black claims that he Is "morally
unfit for service."
Black is a single man 28 years of age
and lives on. a farm near Estacada. He
further claims In his questionnaire
that this "creed" has millions of mem
bers, and that It has obtained Us mem
bership "through publicity."
Black further deterred classification
on the ground of a dependent mother.
He claims a collegiate education of
ten years.
The board will attempt a solution
of his claim In the near future.
Transferred Man to Front.
Paul Schaubel of Plentywood, Mon
tana, obtained a transfer from his
local board to the local board for
Clackamas county Saturday and was
inducted Into the aviation school at
San Antonio, Texas. He(was granted
transportation and a "meal ticket"
for twenty-five meals enroute, by
County Clerk Harrington and left this
afternoon for the training camp. He
was accepted some time ago as an ex
pert mechanic.
Classification Progresses
The work of classification by the
local board goes on with all possible
haste. Practically a hundred classifi
cations were made Friday evening,
most of whom go in Class I or Class V,
the latter being permanently exempt
from service. Advices from the adju
tant general's office have been re
ceived to the effect that Class I classi
fications should be made at once pend
ing a call for the near future for the
men of this quota.
Herbert Leslie Talbot of Oswego
was given an Immediate classification
by the local board Saturday night, and
placed in Class IV, as he is a married
mau with children. Tail hot asked the
quick action of the board that he might
go to Porto Rioo to accept a position.

SUPREMUCOURT
UPHOLDS 2-CENT
ILLINOIS FARE
WASHINGTON, .Tan. 14. The 2-
:cent fare law of Illinois was today
upheld by the supreme court with the
exception that where It discriminated
in favor of some cities because of the
higher Interstate rate, the Interstate
Commerce commission has power to
make necessary adjustments.
Tlio decision prevents the roads of
the state from raising all their inter
state rates from 2 cents to the higher
Interstate rate of 2.4 cents, and sots
aside an order of the Interstate Com
merce commission ordering such an
increase.
Here's Chance For Women to
Show Patriotism And Get
About $2500 For Red Cross
What'a become of the patriotic
women of Clackamas county who were
going to offer their services as elec
tion Judges and clerks for the next
two yearsthe pay cheeks to go to the
Red Cross?
Vp to date Miss I. M. Harrington,
county clerk, to whom the subject was
broached some time ago, has received
SALEM, Or., Jan. H The State
Publle Service Commission today de
nied petition of the City ot Portland to
suspend the six-cent street car fare
order until the city has opportunity to
test Its validity in courts. Therefore
the six-cent fare wilt go Into effect to
morrow. Petition for suspension of the six
cent tare order was presented to the
commission last Saturday by City At
torney La Roche ot Portland, and at
the same time was opposed by oral
argument by Franklin T. Griffith, pres
ident ot the street car company.
"We have directed the utility com
pany to attach printed receipt to all
tickets sold to It patrons, such re
ceipts showing amount paid and to be
redeemed by company In amount ot
excess fare, should the courts declare
our order invalid," say the commls
slon.
These receipts are to be attached to
both five ride ticket slips and 50 ride
books."
Commission say its order Increaa
Ing street car fares In Portland was
not Issued hastily, but only as result
of most exhaustive investigation ana
after the commission had become sat-
lsfiea Dy jmiuoiiaDie proot tnai
through cause entirely beyond the
control of the company the cost of
street car service had risen to suck a
height that anything approaching sat
isfactory service could not be given
at fares less than those fixed by the
commission's order.
"We can see no good and sufficient
reason for setting aside our order or
postponing the effective date there
of," says the commission.
"Our Investigation of affairs ot the
Portland Railway, Light & Power com
pany discloses that need for addition
al revenue on Its street railway can-
1 1 not be delayed without serious conse
quences.
"In discharge of our duties, we have
also Investigated other branches of
this utility's business and have found
that revenues from operation of inter
urban railways barely suffice to cover
expenses of operation, and that the
earnings of tho light and power de
partment nre insufficient to enable
that department to aid in making up
any of tho deficits In operation of the
railway department

former premier and mlulster of Justice
for j.ranc8t WM formally Imprisoned
today as the outgrowth ot charges of
treason lodged against him In connec
tion with the Bolo Pasha case.
Calllaux Is a member of the cham

France and Italy and that he was con
stantly opposing tho nation' war ef
forts. Madamo Caillnux, wife of the accus
