WAR IX SOUTHWEST RATES.
Santa Fe Makes Big: Reduction to
Meet Secret Cutting.
CHICAGO,-July 5. A rate fight of lib
eral proportions Is 'on" among tne trunk,
lines operating between 'Chicago and Mis
souri River centers. For several weeks
there has been widespread, though secret,
manipulation of rates on all classes of
freight in this territory, but there had
been no open rupture between any of the
roads until today. When it became evi
dent that peace could not be restored ex
cept by some drastic action, officers of
several of the roads began to plan open
reductions in tariffs. The Santa Fe was
the first to act, and today came out with
an announcement that it would put In a
scale of rates, effective July 15, between
this city and Southwestern Missouri River
points that would awake the secret rate
cutters to a realization of the situation.
The rates promulgated by the Santa Fe
average reductions of from 30 to 40, and In
some cases 50 per cent below the present
priced tariffs.
It is believed that the actlbn of the
Santa Fe will be followed by similar an
nouncements by all competitors, and that
the cuts are Intended to bring the long
standing secret fight for business to a
head and force the lines that have been
out of the pool to become members. W.
B. BIddle, freight traffic manager of the
Santa Fe, discussing the cut in rates, said:
"In making a reduction In rates we are
only doing what most of our competitors
have been doing secretly for many weeks.
Our traffic between Kansas City and Chi
cago has been decreasing week by week,
until it is now only 4 or 5 per cent of the
total traffic between these points, while
one of the weakest lines is carrying over
16 per cent Such a condition of affairs
could only be caused by secret rate-cutting
by our competitors. To stop such
business we determined to make a whole
sale reduction in rates openly. If this
reduction proves to be Insufficient to stop
secret rate-cutting, we will openly make
another big one. A soon as we are given
satisfactory assurance that all our com
petitors will maintain reasonablo rates we
will advance ours to a normal basis, but
not before then."

Owinff to the Illness of one of the prin

spectacle will be given this afternoon
without fall, and as there has been a
large advance sale, the Marquam is sure
to be crowded.
By speplal request, "Woman Against
Woman," the stirring melodrama In
which the Cummlngs Company made such
a hit early in the week at Cordray's, will
be the matinee attraction there this after
noon. The play Is a strong one, and there
is no doubt that It will prove a good draw

CLOSES WITH A BALL.
The Fredericksburg Grand Mas
querade Sunday Evening.
The Fredericksburg will celebrate the
close of a very successful season by a
grand masquerade ball to be given at the
Hall, Seventh and Alder, tomorrow, Sun
day evening. A thousand invitations
have been issued, and It will undoubtedly
be a grand affair. Manager Brown an
nounces that if any of their friends have
been overlooked, they are to come any
way. The Invitations were necessary in
order to keep out undesirable characters.
There is to be no admission charge. De
Caprlo's band will furnish the music.
The regular show will go on half an hour
earlier than usual, and will be limited to
the novelty features. This will permit
the opening of the ball at 10:30 P. M. The
Fredericksburg has had a most successful
year, owing to the high character of its
bookings, and this final season's wind-up
in the form of a grand free masquerade
ball Is a fitting climax to the popularity
and favor it has attained.

MAY YOUNG, THE SUBJECT OF THE CONTEST.
by out-of-town people, whom Superin
tendent Gardner testified yes'terday were
willing to take the child and bring it up
properly.
As stated in Wednesday's Oregonian,
the Aid Society and other charitable peo
ple have opposed the adoption of the child
by Mr. Nutley on the ground that he is a
strong fnend of Young, and that he is
acting for Young In the adoption proceed
ings. They assert that in the Nutley
home the child will practically be under
Young's domination, and that he will con
tribute almost solely to Its support More
over, it is alleged that Mr. Nutley's finan
cial status is such that, he cannot prop
erly caro for the child without assist
ance from Young.
In support of the first contention, Miss
Maymie Byles, Young's divorced white
wife, was the principal witness called
yesterday. In answer to questions she
told the court that she had been a mis
sionary, and the inference was left that
she had met her Chinese husband while
engaged in mission work. She detailed
the circumstances of the adoption' of the
child by herself and husband, and how
the child had been left in the care of
the Turnet family subsequent to their di
vorce. The witness tried to tell the court
the story of her alleged inhuman treat
ment by Young, but was not permitted to
do so.
"Is a Terrible Character."
Miss Byles then went on to declare her
opposition to the adoption of the child
by Nutley, saying that Young's Influence
would predominate In its bringing up. She

NUTLE.'
said Nutley had tried to induce her to
live with Young after she' left him. Then
Attorney Gatens, who represented' the Aid
Society, asked:
"What kind of a man is Young?"
"Oh, sir," was the reply of the witness,
"he is a very terrible character. More
than that, he tries to cover up his wick
edness "
"Well, what particularly bad thing has
he been guilty of?"
"He is a blasphemer, an idolater and a
notorious character," replied the witness
in a sort of horror-stricken tone. "He
drove us out of-the house with a revol
ver." "We object to this line of testimony,"
Interposed Judge Carey, who appeared for
the petitioner, "unless it is for the pur
pose of showing Young's possible future
Influence upon the child, and the fact that
he will have any such Influence has not
been shown."
Judge Cake sustained the objection, but
Attorney Gatens evidently did not hear his
ruling, for his mext question was:
"Miss Byles, while you 'were Young's
wife, did he ever try to teach you to
sraoko opium or use Chinese drugs?"
This' question was also ruled out, and
Judge Carey took the witness In hand,
"illss Byles, what ground have you for
411
,jgf 'Sj
saying that Tcung Intends ultimately to
lead this child Into a life of shame?" he
asked.
"Well, he told me that a Chinaman said
) to him: 'Young, that girl will be worth
$1000 to you some day, " said Miss Byles.
"Is that the only ground?"
The witness hesitated a moment, and
confessed that it was. In answer to ques
tions propounded by Judge Cake she
stated that one of her main objections to
the child's adoption by Nutley was that
in tho University Park community, where
Nutley lives, the fact of the child's for
mer adoption by a Chinaman would be
constantly ''thrown up to It."
"It would' be under Young's Influence
and control," she said, "and would suffer
the same agony that I have suffered."
Mrs. Bristow, who lives at Willamette
Station, was the next witness. She avowed
her willingness to adopt the child, and
said the Turners had let her keep it a
week, when their daughter oame after it
one night and said Young was coming to
the house and would want to see the child.
In answer to a question by Judge Cake,
Mrs. Bristow admitted that it never oc
curred to her that the child would be

under Young's Influence if adopted by
Nutley.
One or two other witnesses were called
to show that Young was in the habit of
calling at the Nutley home, and then Su
perintendent Gardner took the stand
Gardner Tarns the Tide.
Mr. Gardner spent most of his time on
the stand In a statement to the court of
his belief that the child should not be
turned over to Nutley. He was very earn
est! and it was evident that his remarks
created an Impression.
"I am not here to eay that Mr. Nutley
is not a good man," he said, "but I object
to his being given the child for two rea
sons. In the first place a man In his
financial condition, as testified to by him.
self," and having four children of his own,
is not able to give the child proper at
tention, without contributions from this
man Young. Irrespective of that, how
ever, I feel that the child should be taken
away from Its present surroundings in
University Park, and placed somewhere
where its past history. Its adoption by a
Chinaman, and the subsequent divorce of
that Chinaman from his white wife, are
unknown. A man and his wife, possessing
Independent means, and residing outside
of Portland, have expressed a desire to
adopt the child, and I believe that they
should be given the opportunity to do bo."
This statement of Mr. Gardner seemed
to impress the 'court for, turning to Judge
Carey, he asked if this would not be the
proper solution of the problem. Judge
Carey replied that he was not prepared
to say that it would not be, and then he

continued to argue Jn favor of Mr. Nut
ley's good intentions, and of' his genuine
desire to subserve the welfare of the child
by adopting it. Then Judge Carey turned
to Mr. Gardner and asked:
"Mr. Gardner, are you not very much
prejudiced against the Chlnese'on account
of their color?"
"No, sir," was the quick reply, "but
I am opposed to their raising white chil
dren." "You would object, then, to their con
tributing money to the support of a white
child under any circumstances T'
"No, sir; I have no objection to their
contributing money to the Baby Home or
our society. My objection is to their as
sociating with or influencing the rearing
of white children."
Mrs. L. W. SItton was called as a wit
ness and testified that to the best of her
belief the child's father was living in East
Portland. She detailed some of the cir
cumstances surrounding he child's birth.
Mrs. SItton expressed herself as very
strongly opposed to the adoption of the
child by Mr. Nutley on the ground of
the latter's friendship for Young;
"Mrs. SItton," (queried Judge Cake,
"don't you think tie best interests of ihis
child would bft suhaarvari "hv rwinvtn If

'
T it where its previous history is not
known?"
Mrs. SItton replied In the affirmative.
F. E. Beach, a witness on behalf of Mr.
Nutley, was called, and swore that to his
mind the best thing to do was to give the
child to the minister. Judge Cake pro
pounded 'the same question to him that
he did to Mrs. SItton, but the witness re
fused to admit that any other person
could do as well with the child as Mr.
Nutley.
"I don't know whero you could find a
better home than Mr. Nutley's," remarked
the witness, whereat some of tho women
present laughed.
In the proceedings, Mr. Nutley himself
was called, and was asked by Mr. Gatens
whether he had not applied to the Baptist
Mission Board for aid fon his church,
and whether the board had not refused to
help him. He replied in the affirmative.
At the conclusion of the evidence the
court announced that his decision would
be rendered Tuesday.
STEEL BRIDGE ENDANGERED
Crowds From the Flrevrorks Started
the Structure to Swinging:.
The steel bridge had the biggest crowd
on Its deck at one time Thursday night
that has been known in its history, and
several officers were needed to guard
against accidents. People went over from
the West Side in squads to view the fire
works, and so their passing over the
bridge was not noticed. When the enter
tainment was over, however, 10,000 struck
out for tho bridge in a body and when
the vanguard got part way across, the
deck began swinging like a hammock,
and many were badly scared. The gates
were closed at this Juncture, by order of
the police, and the structure settled down
to Its usual stillness when the crowd
.stopped. Great care was exercised to
prevent a recurrence of the swaying mo
tion, and accident was thus averted.
"The steel bridge," according to a bridge
official of experience In the city, "Is a
top-heavy structure set In deep water, the
depth of the river at its eastern pier be
ing 78 feet Thus the swinging tread of
several hundred persons is likely to start
the huge steel trusses to swinging and
this causes the pillars to rock on their
foundations. If the Willamette River
should go dry, the length of these pil
lars could be seen, but so long as the
structure sets so close to the water Its
height from the bed of the river Is not
realized.
"The last time it took to swinging was
when Coxey's army crossed it, several
years ago. These fellows Insisted on keep
ing step, which made matters so much
worse. The gateman expostulated with
them, and tried to break the regularity
of their pace, but could do nothing with
them. They were bound for Washington
City, and cared not for consequences."
The other three bridges were not patron
ized to the extent of the steel bridge
Thursday night, and so there was no com
motion on them. The police authorities
had some fear of accident previous to
setting off the fireworks, and so squads
of officers assisted the gatekeepers in
handling the sightseers and thus prevent
ed disaster.
NOTED DETECTIVE.
Takes George Broolcs Back: to An
swer for Larceny.
Sergeant of Detectives Byan, of San
Francisco, left Portland Thursday night
with George Brooks, alias Russell and
Walker, to answer a charge of larceny
in San Francisco in having stolen about
$40 worth of Jewelry from Mrs. Johnstone,
whose husband Is Chief of Police at Cal
cutta, India. Brooks was boarding at
Mrs. Johnstone's house, and one evening
when she was out It Is charged that he
stole tho Jewelry and took Mrs. John
stone's marriage license and her chil
dren's birth certificates and placed them
under the kitchen sink.
Sergeant Ryan is one of the best-known
police officials In San Francisco, and a
Portland detective who knows him well
says: ,
"Sergeant Ryan and his companion. De
tective O'Day, have probably recovered
more stolen property and restored 'the
same to the owners than any other two
officers in San Francisco. Ryan arrested
tho famous 'Kid Donnelly for highway
robbery, and It was principally through
Ryan's evidence that Donnelly was sen
tenced to 40 years' imprisonment He
also arrested Collins, the Seattle bank
robber, and Collins was sentenced to 10
years in jail. He also caught Cherlgano,
the Italian burglar, and Lowell, the house
breaker, and recovered $5000 of the prop
erty they got away with. These are only
a few of Ryan's recent arrests."
Ryan Is a magnificent specimen of the
big, muscular police detective, and he Is
as quiet a man as one would meet in a
day's travel.

A STIMULANT.
And a Sorry Friend to Some Systems
"Coffee acts as a stimulant to me. I
can for a time accomplish considerable
more work, but then I am dull, spiritless,
nervous, weak and irritable. Coffee acts
like a slow poison on my father, giving
him inward pains and a feeling of being
generally upset Continued use always
used to make him ill.
"He used to be, very fond of the bever
age, and was in the habit of drinking it
two mornings, say, then skipping a few
days and taking it two mornings again.
If he took it the third morning, he was
invariably sick. It Is two years now since
we had the first package of Postum. We
have been using it ever since, to our
very great benefit.
"A lady friend who is the wife of a
prominent clergyman in New Haven
(whose name I am not at liberty to give)
was a complete nervous wreck from the
use of coffee. About a year ago she be
gan the use of Postum and continued in
It Six weeks after starting she had lost
all her former nervousness, had grown
plump In the face, and her health better,
than It had been for years. She is a'
splendid walking advertisement, and is j
most enthusiastic in the praise of Postum,
telling all of her callers of its merits and
urging them to try it" Kate Austen,

RERIRNING TO THE EAST
FAREWELL RECEPTION TO REV.
AND MRS. W. R. LORD.
Parlors of Unitarian Church Hand
somely Decorated by Friends of
the Retiring; Pastor.
Tho parlors of the Unitarian Church
never looked more attractive than last
night for the farewell reception given
Rev. and Mrs. W. R. Lord. Kind hands
and hearts expended their wealth of af
fection in making the place beautiful,
with the result that the rooms were trans
formed into a garden of bloom. Pink,
the favorite color of Mra. Lord, was se
lected as the dominant note to the color
scheme. Everywhere La France roses met
the eye; hundreds of them bloomed
against the walls and In corner Jardi
nieres. Mingled with these were maiden
hair ferns, and great clumps of wild
daisies. A high screen of delicate vines
and rosebuds ran across the rear of the
parlors, separating the dlnlng-ropm from
the main room. In one corner in the
forepart of the reception room was a
bower in which much loving- labor
had been concentrated. A fishnet had
been draped against the wall, and in Its
meshes were roses and interlacing fern
leaves. In this bower Mr. and Mrs. Lord
were stationed to receive their friends,
who surged toward them in a steady
stream for two hours. The reception com
mittee comprised Mrs. W. Wynn, John
son, Mrs. Henry S. Gile, Mrs. Julia B.
Comstock, Mrs. N. J. Levison, Mrs. Nor
rls R. Cox, Mrs. Stacy Matlock.
In the dining-room the decorations were
exceptionally elaborate and beautiful. The
table In rose tints carried out in detail
the color scheme. Pink festoons gar
landed the sides of the table and the
walls; pink carnations and Canterbury
bells arranged with maidenhair fern
formed the table decorations. Pink and
white sherbet, candelabra with rose
tinted shades, and various other charm
ing devices, helped to emphasize this
dominant color note. Tea was poured by
Mrs. John H. Scott, Mr3. A. L. Pease,
Mrs. George H. Strout, Mrs. J. H. Peter
son, assisted by Mrs. Thomas H. Edwards,
Miss Lou Strout, Miss Emma Strout, Miss
Kate Gile, Miss Lucy SItton and Miss
Maude Tyler.
All the familiar faces seen In the pews
on a Sunday morning were there, and
many besides, for Mr. Lord has made
an unusually large number of friends
outside the church during his all too
short pastorate In the city. To these he
has greatly endeared himself by his happy
mingling of fearlessness and untiring en
ergy with sympathetic kindness of heart
and purity of purpose. It has been given
to few men to leave behind them so
strong and enduring an Impress upon
the community, after so short a sojourn.
A deep-rooted regret for the departure of
himself and his wife Is felt by all who
have known them.
Mr. and Mrs. Lord will leave next Tues
day for the East, going to Buffalo, where
Mrs. Lord will remain to visit her brother,
while Mr. Lord continues his journey to
Boston, which was for 13 years their
home.

ahead with the incorporation of the City

they had no doubt that the full amount
would be raised. A. F. Miller, master of
the Evening Star Grange, said that the
fruitgrowers of Mount Tabor, Mount Scott
and Harmony districts are anxious for

draw up the articles of Incorporation. The

scriptions was instructed to continue its
work. A committee was appointed to co

suit in the State Circuit Court against
James D. Hennessy for a partnership ac

It is set forth in the complaint that the

promised to do In a proper manner, but
it Is alleged that he neglected to do so.
Stephenson, it is stated, became dissat
isfied with Hennessy's system of book
keeping, and his failure Intelligently or
correctly to keep or report the condi
tions of the partnership affairs, and when
Stephenson repeatedly remonstrated and
proposed to employ a clerk to do tho
work, Hennessy objected and continued
to keep the accounts In a confused man
ner. It Is alleged that on June 28, 1901,
Stephenson, being thoroughly convinced
that his partner had grossly mlskept the
books, told him so and notified him that
the partnership was dissolved, and pub
lished a notice to that effect in The Ore
gonian. Tho partners cannot agree as to
a division of the assets, henco tho suit
