Commission Takes Up Com
plaint of Walla Walla.
DATE FOR HEARING . SET
Railroads Accused of Discrimination
Against Walla. Walla in Favor
of Spokane and Cities
on Puget Sound.
OL.TMPIA. Wash., May 29. (Special.)
Complaints have been served on the
Northern Pacific, the Great Northern, the
O. R. & N. and the Washington & Colum
bia River itallway Companies, as defend
ants In the case In which the Railroad
Commission 1h plaintiff, set for hearing
at Walla Walla Tuesday, June 26, tp pass
upon the demand made by the business
men of Walla Walla for a Jobbing rate.
The complaint sets out that on all goods
shipped from Walla Walla or other points
on the lines of the Washington & Colum
bia River Railway Company, destined to
I points on the Northern Pacific north and
1 west ofi Hunt's Junction and Pasco, the
freight charges are made-up of the sunj
of the two locals from Walla Walla to
Hunt's Junction, and from Hunt's Junc
tion to the point of destination, and that
the same rule applies on goods shipped
over these two roads from Walla Walla
to Connell, and also to Spokane.
The O. R. & N. Co. has In force a
freight tariff from Walla Walla to points
. on its own line wltlhn the state, and the
commission charges that these rates are
"excessive and In many instances double
the charges made by the same railroads
in other parts of the state on their lines
for like distances and for points similarly
situated, and that the railroads are,
therefore, "unjustly discriminating against
the shippers in the locality of Walla Wal
la, to their great detriment and damage,
and the demand Is made that such unjust
charges be abrogated and discontinued.
The probable Intent of the commission
to relieve the situation by the lowering of
distance tariff rates Is Indicated by the
subsequent clauses of the complaint,
which deal with this phase of the situa
tion at length.
It Is alleged that the railroads have es
tablished what Is known as class and com
modity rates on freight consigned from
Seattle. Tacoma. Everett, Snohomish, Bel
llngham and Spokane, and that all other
shipments In less than carload lots ex
cepting the special freight rates hereto
fore referred to from Walla Walla are
groverned and controlled by the distance
tariff enforced by the different railroads.
This distance tariff, it is alleged, fixes
rates which are greatly In excess of the
commodity tariffs, and in many instances
doubles the amount.of the commodity tar
iffs for like distances and under similar
conditions, particularly In relation to rates
In Eastern Washington; that, therefore,
an unjust discrimination exists, the rail
roads unjustly discriminating in favor of
certain localities as against other local
ities, "in this, that freight originating in
Spokane and destined to other points in
Eastern Washington can be and Is car
ried for approximately one-half the sum
that similar freight originating at other
points of like distance can be and is car
ried under similar conditions."
The commission. In its complaint, then
charges "that said distance tariffs, as
charred by said defendant railroads, are
unjust and unfair and greatly In excess of
what would be fair. Just and reasonable
rates, and the same are unjustly discrim
inatory against localities other than those
possessing special commodity rates, and
the same should be modified and changed,
and a fair, just and reasonable rate or
rates substituted therefor."
What Is known as the Eureka Junction
grain rate Is then complained, against. It
is alleged that wheat shipments origi
nating at Summit, 40 miles beyond Eureka
Junction, pays 15; cents to Puget Sound,
and that wheat shipments originating at
Pleasant View, only 20 miles from Eureka
Junction, must pay 164 cents to Puget
Sound, shipments in both Instances being
carried through Eureka Junction. This,
It is charged, is unjust discrimination.
In addition to the foregoing, it is be
lieved the complaint about the condition
of the Pasco depot will be transferred
from the Colfax hearing to that at Walla
Walla a week later.
WHO STIRS BLACK HUNDRED
Pouma Adressps Question to Cabinet.
Neglect of Famine Sufferers.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 29 The spirit
of the lower house was much calmer
today. At the opening of the session
a communication from Premier Gore
mykln was read regarding the death
sentence Imposed by a court-martial
at Riga on eight workingmen accused
of political murder and robbery had been
transmitted to War Minister Rudlger.
M. Nabukoff, leader of the Constitutional
remocrats, presented an interpellation
demanding to know who was responsible
for the provocative Black Hundred tele
grams printed In the Official Messenger
since the assembling of Parliament. The
Interpellation asks specifically whether
they were printed with Premier Gorem
ykln's permission, and if so what was the
purpose of their publication. Michael
Stakovlch, a Marshal of the Nobility .of
Orel, and Count Ileydon, a Marshal of. the
Nobility from St. Petersburg, while sup
porting the interpellation, objected to the
statement that such publications were
shaking the authority of the Emperor, to
whom they were addressed, and upon
their request the words referred to were
withdrawn and the interpellation was
unanimously adopted.
A long discussion of the famine existing
In several districts followed, during which
the government was most severely de
nounced for Its refusal to help the peas
ants who had participated in agrarian
disorders.
M. Lossoft, a peasant member from
Tamboff, In a heated speech, declared
that Russia is being punished for the sins
of the people. He recalled that in the
days of eld there were elements in Jeru
salem, in the time of Christ, who did iot
desire peace, and that similarly the Rus
sian government refused to heal the
wounds of the country and compelled the
people to suffer famine. Other speakers
charged the government with being re
sponsible for all the agrarian disorders.
Several of the orators were so vehement
that the president called them to order.
The debate ultimately was Interrupted
by the news of the sudden death of M.
Avertanoff, a member from Simbirsk,
whereupon the House adjourned.

WASHINGTON, May 29. Representa

Say Charges AroJClntrue.
CHICAGO. May 29. (Special.) Packers
deny as false and ridiculous! the charges
said to be contained In the Nfeill-Reynolds
report concerning the conditions under
which meats are slaughtered and han
dled. They invite the Government to ap
point a congressional committee for the
inspection of their plants.
"We have never concealed anything
about onr operations," declared R. C. Mc
Manus, representative of Swift & Co. "On
the contrary, the packers .keep open
house all the time and their work is un
der the actual inspection of the public.
The big packing-houses pride themselves
on their cleanliness. If any of the
charges made were true, no one should
be more glad to welcome the inspection
and co-operation in procuring sanitary
conditions.
"The packers are agreed that if the
Government will appoint a sanitary en
gineer who will devise a system to more
effectively procure sanitation, they will
gladly act upon his recommendations,
even to building van expensive system of
sewers. The charges, in the main, are
preposterous and untrue."
British Public Is Excited..
LONDON. May 30. The revelations re
garding the beef packing industry in the
United States have created a tremendous
sensation here. Questions will be raised
In the House of Commons today with a
view to ascertaining how far It is in the
Government's power to protect the Brit
ish public. The London newspapers this
morning praise President Roosevelt for
his courage in probing the matter.
Inquiries at Liverpool in the American
Provision Exchange yesterday elicited the
view that the local supervision was too
keen to permit of bad goods reaching
British Importers.
Mrs. Davis Must Stand Trial.
Nellie Davis, the woman held by the
police as a diamond thief, was arraigned
before Judge Cameron yesterday morn
ing on a charge of larceny from a resi
dence. She pleaded not guilty, and was
held to the Circuit Court. After her ad
vent In court the woman was asked to
pose for her photograph for the rogues'
gallery collection. She refused to do this
and a photographer had to be brought to
the Jail and considerable difficulty was
experienced before the picture was se
cured. . .

Who Winked at Stealing of $1,
000,000 Economy Made by
New Management.
NEW YORK, May 29. The Tribune to
morrow" will say:
The special grand jury, in its investi
gation of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany's affairs, obtained evidence yester
day that many thousands of dollars were
taken annually for 20 years from the
treasury of the company by means of
fake bills, purporting to be for printing
and supplies for the company furnished
through the firm of George McKibben at
Son, bookbinders of No. 35 Park street.
Part of the evidence was furnished by
George McKibben. head of the firm, who
was a witness in the afternoon.
It was said about the Criminal Courts
building yesterday that the unearthing of
such proofs of fraud probably would re
sult In indictments against former offi
cials of the Mutual who had guilty
knowledge of the frauds. The entire
amount of money taken from "the Mutual
treasury in such fashion, it Is believed
amounted to more than $1,000,000.
An official of the Mutual said yesterday
that since the change of administration
a saving of $100,000 a year In the ex
penses of the company's office building on
Nassau street had been provided for by

of $15,000 a year in the cost of coal

FIGHTS FOR ITS BCSIJTESS
New .York Life Sends Man to London
for Purpose.
LONDON, May 29. The arrival in Lon
don of Emery McCl'.ntock, vice-president
of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York, has renewed the interest in
the fight for the business of the Mutual
Life. He is spending his time with the
agents of the company, going over their
books.
Mr. McCHntock says he propably will
secure an opportunity to give evidence
before the House of Lords committee on
Insurance. He considers that it would
be absurd to ask the Mutual Life to put
up $25,000,000 reserve In England and can
not see how Great Britain could require
American companies to keep reserves In
Great Britain and refuse a similar regu
lation in the case of Canadian companies.
The report published in London and
cabled to New York that the Duchess of
Marlborough had transferred her policy
to the North British & Mercantile Insur
ance Company Is untrue, and it 1a also
not true that the policies of Lord
Wharncliffe and those held by W. N.
Rutherford, M. P., for friends have been
transferred.

Mrs. W. Wynn Johnson, the newly-
elected president of the Women's Club,
left Portland last night en route to
St. Paul. Minn., where she will attend
the biennial convention of the Na
tional Federation of Women's 'Clubs.
Mrs. Johnson will not represent the
Women's Club indivld-ially as she has
not yet been installed In office as
president, but goes as the delegate of
the Portland City Federation of Wom
en's Clubs. Mrs. A. H. Breyman, the
outgoing president, will represent the
Women's Club and has already gone
East, accompanied by Mrs. J. D. Hays.
Other delegates to the National con
vention from Oregon are Mrs. Hamil

and Mrs. Sengstacker, of Marshfield.
After the adjournment of the bien

BAKER COMPAXY VOICES.
Extraordinary Collection at the

Th voices of the Baker company would at
tract the attention of anybody of discrimina
tion. . Never In Portland has there been a
moVe meritorious set of voices for stage enun
ciation In the drama than Is presented by
the members of the Baker company. Edgrar
Baume la famous all over the country for his
voice. It is a clear, ringing; earnest voice
that reaches down Into your soul. William
Harris has a resonant voice of richest timbre
that could be distinguished among1 a thousand
others. Donald Bowles has an ideal voice
for sentiment and delicate intonation of sub
tler moods, and his facile manipulation In
upper and lower registers makes him a pos
itively unique actor. The people will laugh
even before Howard Russell begins to speak.
No higher compliment could be paid to the
effect of his voice. The dry humor of Billy
Dill's voice never fails to start applause in the
audience, and those who have known him
longest like him best. That is the truest test
of an actor- the test of time. The list could
be extended until each member of the com
pany were mentioned. They all have good
chances In "Hands Across the Sea" this week.

"The Eternal City,"
There has been more talk about Hall Caine'p
"The Eternal City" probably than about any
other play that has been produced in the last
decade. It Is a wonderful spectacle and a
wonderfully dramatlb play. The scene Is an

A
IT
imagined one in the future for Rome. No one
but Hall Caine could nave built np so re
markable a stage scene. The pope of Rome
appears, the Prime Minister of Italy, the King
of Italy, and music written especially by the
great Mascagnl Is introduced. The scenic dis
play is magnificent. The cast is stupendous.
Rossi, the agitator of the people, is the hero,
and Roma, a ward of the Prime Minister, , is
the heroine. Their lives, hemmed about as
they are by intrigues of state and church, -and
their final deliverance, is traced in the
matchless drama. At large expense, Mr. Ba
ker has secured this pfey for the fourth week
of the regular Baker stock season, and the
opening will occur at the Sunday matinee,
June 3. The theater has been preparing sev
eral weeke for this special production, and it
Is expected that tbe result will even exceed
the expectations of the public.

ELKS DEDICATE .WINDOWS
Splendid Memorials to Dead Breth
ren in New Tempi.
A fitting dedication of the memorial win
dows presented to Portland Lodge, No. 143,
B. P. O. E., by some of its members, was
held last night by the Elks in secret ses
sion In their temple at Seventh and Stark
streets.
The windows are magnificent affairs.
They are of stained glass, two in number,
and set in the front wall of the auditor
ium, one on either side of the stage. They
are each 6 feet 24 Inches in-length by 4
feet 714 Inches in breadth. The windows
are duplicate. They are made of art glass,
hand-painted and wrought with the fig
ures indelibly burned Into the glass. The
main figure is an elk set against a back
ground of mountain scenery. Above is en
graved "In Memoriam," and Just beneath
and directly above the glass the face of a
clock with the hands significantly set at
the 11th hour. On either side of the figure
of the elk are two white plates, and un
derneath a third extending the width of
the window. Across the top of the lower
plate are cut the words: "The faults of
our brothers we write upon the sand,
their virtues upon the tablets of love and
memory." Below the glass at regular dis
tances are: "Charity," "Justice," "Broth
erly Love" and "Fidelity." On the win
dow to the left of the stage are engraved
the names of the members of the local
lodge who have died while in the order.
These do not fill out the space in this sin
gle window, and the plates in the right
hand window are entirely blank, for fu
ture use.
Both windows are brilliantly illuminated
by lights set behind. They are beautiful
pieces of work.

STOP LAW'S DELAYS
Higgins Vetoes Bill to Make
Them Longer.
PATRICK CASE A SCANDAL
Attempt of Legislature to Grant
Rice's Murderer Another Appeal
, Blocked by Governor With
Vigorous Message. v
ALB ANT. N. T., May 29. "Little less
than scandalous" is the phrase used by
Governor Higgins in a veto memorandum
Issued tonight regarding the law's delays
in the case of Albert T. Patrick, con
victed of the murder of William M. Bice
in New York City In 1900.
The Governor's veto is of two bills in
troduced by Assemblyman Wade, of
Chautauqua, to amend the code of crim
inal procedure .eo as to permit an ap
peal from an order denying a motion for
a new trial In a criminal case on the
ground of newly discovered evidence. The
bills, which were introduced in the Sen
ate also by Senator Smith, were gener
ally understood to have reference to the
Patrick case, and the Governor so de
scribes them In his memorandum. The
Governor says:
Prolong Law's Delays.
Waiving - the objection to th bills that,
though general In form, they are special In
their application and are Intended to grant
a right of appeal to Albert T. Patrick to
obtain a review of an order, if such order
be made, denying his pending motion tor a
new trial on newly-discovered evidence, I
disapprove them for the reason that they
Introduce a new procedure to our criminal
law and tend to defer indefinitely the ter
mination of a capital case.
Patrick Case Scandalous.
Rice, of whose murder Patrick is con
victed, died on September 23, 1900, nearly
lx years ago. The law's delays in this
case' seem to be little less than scandalous.
In case of extreme hardship, where the
Judge before whom the motion for a new
trial is made denies the defendant's motion
without giving proper consideration to such
evidence, the constitution provides a prac
tical remedy. An amendment to the code
of criminal procedure might, however, well
be made, which would permit defendant's
application for a new trial In a capital case
to be made to any Justice of the Supreme
Court within the Judicial department where
the conviction was had, so that the de
fendant may not be required In any case to
present his motion to the Judge presiding
at the trial.
Recorder Goff, before whom Patrick
was originally tried, has now under con
sideration euch a motion for a new trial
for Patrick, and the Governor has re
prieved the condemned lawyer for a third
time until June 18 on this account.
