iTES MAY FALL
Railway Men Will Hear
the Jobbers,
BIG CONFERENCE TODAY
It Will Determine What Coast
Will Do.
INLAND TRAFFIC AT STAKE
Unless Concessions Are Made by the
Raijways Portland and Tacoma
Must Suffer in Dealing With
Tributary Territory.
The question of lower distributive rates
from the coast Inland may be settled to
morrow afternoon. This Is one of the
most Important contentions that has come
up in the Pacitlc Northwest for many
; ears, and. it mlRht be truthfully said,
one that has been before the public for
many years. The highest representatives
cf the railroad traffic departments of the
three transcontinental lines are in the
city, or will be, and the members of the
North Pacific Jobbers' and Manufactur
ers Association have been long on the
ground.
J. i. Stubbs, traffic director of the Har
rlman system and dean of the transcon
tinental rate men, will reach Portland In
the morning from San Francisco. J. II.
Hannaford. second vice-president of the
Northern Pacific and J. G. Woodworth,
general traffic manager of the same road,
arrived in Portland yesterday. C. M.
Levey, assistant to President Elliott, of
the Northern Pacific, and J. C. Eden,
assistant traffic manager of the Great
Northern, will reach the city from Seat
tle tomorrow. Benjamin Campbell, traffic
director of the Great Northern, is ill at
Ms home in St. Paul and will not be able
to meet with the conference of April G,
but he will be represented by Mr. Eden
and Mr. Hannaford. The Jobbers Associa
tion will be represented by "W. A. Mears,
secretary: Henry Hahn, Jj. A. Lewis and
many other prominent shippers of Port
land, as -well as those from Tacoma and
perhaps from Seattle.
Questions Discussed for Years.
The questions at issue have been dis
cussed for years through correspondence
and with local rate men, but no settle
ment has ever been reached, and now
things have come to such a stage of Im
portance that the railroads have deemed
it advisable to send their department
heads to Portland for two meetings of
conference and advice. The first meeting
was held the latter part of January, and
this, the meeting of tomorrow, the second
of the series, will not be a day of dis
cussion but the time of verdict, and, it is
hoped, the end. But the finality depends
in great measure upon the verdict of the
traffic men.
The Immediate and rapid growth of the
jobbing business of the Northwest is the
cause of the discussion. If the decision
cf the traffic men is against the jobbers,
if lower rates are not given as asked for.
lf no concessions are made, this growth
will be hampered and retarded. If, on the
ether hand, the demands of the associa
tion are met, even In part, then the mer
chants of Tacoma and Portland can reach
out into new territory and can build up
much heavier patronage in the districts
already worked by them.
Discrimination Against Coast.
Discrimination against the Northwest
jobber is charged. It is shown that the
distributive rates back from Tacoma and
Portland toward the inland country are
from 50 to 100 per cent greater mile for
mile than those on similar commodities
from the Eastern terminals of St. Paul,
Chicago and Omaha. Or, in other words,
it costs the Portland jobber twice as
much to ship the orders of his salesmen
50 miles from the city as it does the whole
saler of Chicago to send a cargo of like
material the same number of miles from
Chicago. The Portland jobber is willing
to make some allowance for traffic con
ditions. but contends that the companies
can afford, in justice to make practically
the same rate for both ends of the line.
That is the main contention, for
there is no question concerning the
justice of the through rates. They
are all right and reasonably low in the
majority of cases, but the burden of
care rests with the local charges from
the Coast to the Interior.
W. A. Mears Makes a Statement.
A. Mears, the secretary of the
Jobbers' Association, and perhaps the
hest informed man on the subject resi
dent here, takes a hcpeful view of the
situation.
"I do not know what would be done
should the railroad men fail to estab
lish lower rates." he said yesterday,
'for I have not considered such a con
tingency. I think that -with all the
evidence we have placed before them,
with the showing of facts -we have
made, they cannot do anything else
but grant us in part at least what we
have asked.
"The meeting of tomorrow Is of great
Importance to Portland, for it means
much to the prosperity of the trade in
the city -with the entire Northwest
territory. If the contentions of the
association are successful it means the
opening of much territory and the en
largement of what business Is now en
joyed. It means that the interior -will
be able to purchase in larger quan
tities the things they now have to buy
and the establishment of business rela
tions where none can now exist."
Will Not Consider Negative.
"But what if the requests are not
granted and no change is made?" Mr.
Mears was asked.
T do not know," he said, "and I
can say nothing one way or the other
until after the meeting. I cannot
predict what would be the outcome.
In Spokane the merchants boycotted
two railroads, but T do not want to
think of what would happen in the
event of unfavorable action. The as
sociation is not asleep."
Therefore the meeting is fraught
with interest -whichever way the deci
sion goes, for if the rates are made
the jobbers -will be happy and the city
prosperous, and lf the rates are not
made there is possibility that the rail
roads will be unhappy and perhaps
rot so prosperous.
Confer With Senator Fulton.
The North Pacific Jobbers' and Manu
facturers' Association and Senator Fulton
had an executive conference yesterday
afternoon, at which time the interstate
commerce act and the various shipping
legislation now before Congress was the
subject of discussion.
The members of the association, being
interested in the shipping legislation
question, invited Senator Fulton to speak
to them of the matters now before. Con
gress, and a called meeting was arranged
in order that the Senator might be hear3.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
and its effect, as well as what should be
done to make it more effective, was dis
cussed both by the Senator and the mem
bers present. The Senator explained the
various questions of shipping legislation
now before Congress and listened to sug
gestions from the members of the asso
ciation. At the close of the discussion and after
extending a vote of thanks to the Sena
tor for having met with the association,
the following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved. That the nosltJon of Senator Ful
ton regarding the powers to bo given the
Interstate Commerce Commission are fully
Indorsed by the North Pacific Coast Jobbers'
and Manufacturers Association, to-wit: That
all rebates shall be prohibited: that private
car lines shall no Ion per bo allowed to
operate, but that railroads shall furnish cars
for the handling ofall products to all ship
pers: that the Commission Ik- allowed on
complaint to establish a rate which In their
opinion is Just and reasonable, said rate to
be In force until overturned by tMe decision
of courts to whom appeal may be aiiowea.

IS DAY OF PRAYER
Revivalists Make This the
Great Occasion,
NOONDAY SERVICES PLANNED
Many Stores' Have Agreed to Close
Between the Hours of 11:30
and 2 o'clock to Enable
Clerks to Attend. '
Thi3 is the "Day of Prayer" of the
evangelists and their following of
Christians in the city of Portland. At
10 o'clock this morning special services
will bo opened in all .the churches and
conducted by the regular ministers un
til 11 o'clock. There will be a few
minutes intermission and then there
will be meetings opened in the Mar
quam Grand, the Baker and the Grand
theaters by the revivalists.
In every town that the evangelists
visit it i3 tholr plan to have special
days, and Portland is no exception. The
Bible study days last a week, the mid
night parade and the great Sunday
services are all foatures of the pro
gramme, but the really great day is
supposed to be this one. For several
days the enthusiastic helpers of the
preachers have been going among tho
business men of the city nd urging
them to close for two and a half hours,
with the result that more than 2ft
stores have agreed to lock their doors
between the hours of 11:30 and 2
o'clock.
Services Are Outlined.
A few of those approached refused
to close for that longthof time, but
did agree to close for an hour to en
able those clerks that desired to visit
the theaters. The services at the Mar
quam will be conducted by Rev. J.
Wilbur Chapman and In the lesser play
houses Rev. W. E. Blederwolf and Rev.
Henry Ostrom will preach sermons for
the benefit of the clerks and business
men. At the Taylor-Street M. E. Church
Rev. R. A. Walton will speak.
No attempts will be made at a parade
or other public demonstration except
that a street meeting or two may be
held as the result of the great crowds
that are expected at the theaters.
The meetings yesterday noon wero
well attended and much interest was
taken by these present. Last night the
services in all the districts attracted
many people. In several churches the
number of card singers was large and
at the "after" meetings some wonder
ful conversions were reported.
The street meeting of J. L. McComb
at Third and Alder and those of Rev.

that rarely attend church services and

Mr. McComb is an interesting speaker
and always has an entertaining crowd
of singers with him in the automobile.
Dr. Ostrom's Sermon.
Dr. Ostrom was called to preach on the
East Side last evening In the place of
Sir. Elliott, and his pulpit was filled by
Evangelist McComb. Mr. McComb has
heen conducting street services at Third
and Alder, and is peculiarly fitted for this
work. He knows the man of the streets,
he understands his temptations and he
declares he has the cure for all their ills.
While the curb meeting Is essentially Mr.
McComb's field, his enthusiasm Is so
strong that he was able, last night, de
spite the fact that he was preaching to
a class of peoplo out of his customnry
routine, to give a strong and powerful
talk.
His subject was the surpassing love of
God for men, and he used with telling
effect the Incidents connected with the
life and conversion of Jerry McCauley.
Dr. Hill was on the platform, and at the
beginning of the service made a few
pointed remarks about the necessity .of
greater personal activity among the per
sonal workers of this district. While the
meetings are largely attended and results
are being obtained, there Is a chance for
improvement.
On Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at
Calvary Presbyterian Church. Dr. Ostrom
will conduct a special service for aged
people. In all the other cities where these
meetings have been held. this one feature
has generally proved .to be the- most In
teresting and helpful of all. Carriages
are to be in waiting for this service, and
those who are handicapped by physical
inability may avail themselves of these

one of the. brick buildings of the Union
Motallic Cartridge Company shortly be
fore the close of today's wo'rk. three
men were Instantly killed. Great
crowds gathered and In the panic that
followed it was reported . that many

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., April i.
A movement has been started here
through the local Chamber of Con.mcroe
to have the remains of Lieutenant Zeb
ulon Montgomery Pike, the discoverer o(
Pike's Peak, removed to Colorado, and

lies In a practically neglected grave.
plain, was the solo violinist at a recital
given last night at the Empire Theater
under tho direction of Misses Lois Steers
and Wynn Coman. The recital was a
great musical treat, but the theater was
only half filled with people. At the same
time those who attended were enthusias
tic in their approval of Kreisler, and
gave him more than a dozen recalls.
Kreisler is impassioned, commanding, au
thoritative. His style draws you In spite
of j'ourself. Paganlni's biographer
writes: "Paganlni's cantabile moved his
audience to tears, while his tours de
force were so astonishing that a Vlenese
amateur publicly declared that he had
seen the devil assisting Paganlnl." The
cantabile reference lives again In Krels
ler's exquisite playing of the Dvorak
number, which was repeated in reply to
a furious encore. In technique and es
pecially In fetching, alluring tone Kreis
ler is a giant among the violinists of
our day. His other, encore was "Song
Without Words" (Tschalkowsky). The
recital was an artistic success, and Kreis
ler was ably assisted by his accompanist,
Edgar E. Coursen. Those who weren't
there missed a musical delight. Fritz
Kreisler, who Is an Austrian, and Edgar
E. Coursen, of this city, leave today for
Seattle, where Kreisler plays tonight.
Then Kreisler takes a big jump to Min
neapolis, but his talented accompanist
won't go with him so far. We need Mr.
Coursen in Portland. J. M.
STARK STREET LINE
Traction Company May Get
the Franchise.
COUNCIL WILL ACT TODAY
Little Hope Felt for the Passage of a
Billboard Ordinance or That
for the Automatic
Telephone,
. It looks as if the Oregon Traction Com
pany would obtain a franchise to place
car tracks on Stark street nnd. that be
ing done, to build an electric road to
Hillsboro. The question of whether the
franchise shall be granted will come
up before the City Council today and
the majority of the Councilmen seen yes
terday seemed to be favorable to tho en
terprise. There were at one time two reasons for
believing that the franchisee would not be
granted. Both were based on rumors, one
that the Oregon Traction Company was
really the Oregon Water- Power & Rail
way Company with designs on the Fair
business, and the other that It was an
attempt of the Portland Consolidated to
obtain the valuable franchise oa Stark
street. That the Councilmen seem on
the whole favorably disposed to the
granting of the franchise Is taken as a
sign that the Oregon Tractjon promoters
have produced convincing arguments?
which have, cleared them of the imputa
tion that they were attempting any chi
canery, and that- they wish the franchise
merely to run their Hillsboro cars Into
the middle of town.
The members of the license committee,
with one exception, do not seem to take
much interest in the proposed billboard
ordinance. H. R. Albee alone attended
the committee meeting Monday afternoon,
and the matter cannot now come up be
fore the Council except by a special vote.
That such a vote will be taken Is doubted,
anl for the time being the war on bill
boards may lessen. J. P. Sharkey, one
of the committeemen who did not appear
Monday, said yesterday that he did not
believe the size of blllooards on pri
vate property could be limited.
Those Councilmen who are In favor of
the automatic ieleDhone do not express
much hope of obtaining the extra vote
with which to grant the franchise.
Heard in the Rotundas
"People often wonder why the railroads
employ so many Japs as section hands,"
said C. M. Levey, of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, at the Hotel -Portland
yesterday afternoon. "We don't as
a rule employ them In preference to white
laborers, but hire them of necessity. When
wc want to put on an extra ballast gang
or a bridge gang all wc have to do is to
notify the Japanese employment agents
and we can get all the men we want.
"This Is iiot the case with the white
men. They are hard to get and hard to
keep! You take a Jap nnd he will work
on 'the section gang for yeurs, but a
white laborer Is liable to throw up his
job after the first two or three weeks
and go looking for a better position. The
Japs never go on a strike. If they think
they are being mistreated or are not get
ting enough money for their services,
they quit. The Chinese are not good for
section work."
The Easterners who come to this city
are taken by surprise when they see tne
Japanese bellboys at the Hotel Portland.
After they have been at tho hostelry for
a few days they become delighted with
them and prefer them to the white bell
boys. They are very polite and faithful
and are not inquisitive in the least.
A traveling man- who was at the hotel
recently tells the story of a Jap down at
the Pearl mining camp. In Idaho, who
had strayed off the straleht. narrow path.
This particular Jap was very adaptive.
The worst of It was that he was not par
ticular in some of the -American customs
he adopted.
He first began his downward career by
running a few debts that he refused to
pay. Then he acquired tho drink habit.
Every Saturday night he would go out on
a spree with the miners in the camp.
There were a number of his countrymen
working in the same camp, and they were
very much worried over his actions. They
pleaded with him. but he continued to
spend his money and run more bills.
There were about two dozen Japs in
the camp. One morning after the drunk
en Jap had reeled home to his hut fol
lowing a strenuous night among the sa-
loons of the town, they called on him In
a body. They took him to the. nearest
telegraph post, put a rope around hi3
neck and had started to hang him when
the miners interfered. At first the Japs
wanted to fight, but they thought it over
and finally decided to administer to the
recalcitrant a- severe whipping, which
they did, ending It by chasing him out of
town.

A Dollar's Worth Free
To Any Rheumatic Sufferer
T ask no deposit no reference no security.
There 'Is nothing to risk nothing to promise
nothing to paj. either now or later. Any
Rhcumatic sufferer who does not know my
remedy may have a full dollar's worth free to
try.
I willingly make this liberal offer beeause I
know that Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Remedy may
be relied upon ALWAYS to briny the utmost
relief that medicine can. Years before I dis
covered thU remedy. I studied the nature of
Rheumatism. For Rheumatism is really
Crystalized Poison
Your blond is always full of poison the
poison you tat and drink and breathe into your
system. It Is the purpose of the blood to ab
sorb and carry off this very poison. And the
kidneys, which are the blood niters, are ex
pected to cleanse the blood and send It back
through the system clean, to gather more
poison which, they, in turn, will eliminate.
But sometimes the kidneys fail. And some
times, from some other cause, the blood Rets
so full of poison that they cannot absorb It all.
This Is the start of Rhoumatlsm. The poison
accumulates and crystallzes. The crystals look
like little sralns of sugar or of fine white nand.
The blood carries them and they Increase In
size. Then, when ltcan carry them no longer
It deposits them In a Joint on a. bone any
where. , ,
The twinge, in your leg the dull ache in your
arm on a rainy day these are the outward
signs of the unseen crystals. And the twisted
limbs and unspeakable anguish of the sufferer
who has allowed his symptoms to go unheeded
and unattended for years these ara the evi
dences of what Rheumatism, neglected, can do.
Rheumatism Includes lumbago, sciatica, neu
ralgia, gout for all these are the results or
rheumatic poison In the blood.
Plainly, the first thing to do Is to remove
the poison. But this is not enough. The form
ation of the poison must be stepped, so that
nature may have a chance to dissolve and
eliminate the crystals which have .already
formed. Unless this la done there carl be no
cure no permanent relief.
I searched the whole earth for a specific for
Rheumatism something lhat I or any physi
cian could feel safe In prescribing something
that we could count on .not only occasionally,
but always. For the ravages of Rheumatism
are everywhere and genuine relief is rare.
Mild cases are sometimes cured by a single package. On sale at forty thousand drugstores.

I felt satisfied that I bad a certain remedy for
this dread disease a remedy which would not

Certain Relief
The secret lay la a. wonderful chemical I
found In Germany. 'When I found thin chem
ical. I knew that I could make a. Rheumatic
cure that would be practically certain. But
even then, before I made, an announcement
before I was willing to pot my nam on it I
made more than 2000 tests! And my failures
were but 2 per cent.
This German chemical is not tho only Ingre
dient I use In Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure
but It made the remedy possible made, possi
ble an achievement which. I doubt not, could
have been made In no other way.
This chemical Is very expensive. The duty,
too. was high. In all it coat me J.00 per
pound. But what la $4. per pound for ft
real remedr for the world's most painful dis
ease? for a real relief from the greatest tor
ture human beings know?
I don't mean that Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic
Cure can turn bony joints Into flesh again
that Is Impossible. But It will drlro frorn the
blood the poln that causes pain and swell
ing, and then that Is the end of the pain and
swelling the end ot tho suffering the end of
Rheumatism. That Is why I can afTord to
make this liberal offer that Is why I can
afford to spend the FIRST dollar that Rheu
matic sufferers, the world over, may learn of
my remedy.
Simply Write Me
The offer Is open to everyone, everywhere,
who has not tried my remedy. But you must
write ME for the free dollar package order.
I will send you an order on your druggist
which he will accept as gladly as he would ac
cept a dollar. He will hand you from his
shelves a standard sized package and h will
send the bill to me. There are no conditions
no requirements. All that I ask you to do
Is to write write today. I will send you my
book on Rheumatism beside. It Is free. It
will help vou to understand your case. Ad
