THE- MORNING OKEGONIAX, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1907. DO NOT MUD M ADVANCE IN RATES Two Witnesses Offer Testi mony Damaging to Cause .of the Lumbermen. MILLION IN FIVE YEARS Johan Poulsen Testifies as to His Company's Profits Will Not Ad mit Any .Favoritism in Being Furnished Cars by Roads. WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.-That "his com pany has made 11.000.000 In the past Ave years was the testimony of Johan Poul sen, of the Inman-Poulsen Lumber Com pany, of Portland, at the hearing of the Pacific Coast lumber-rate question be fore the Interstate Commerce Commis sion today. Mr. Poulsen Is one of the de fendants and started out by making this statement when called to the stand. He gave the average cost of production as $12.50 per thousand feet and the selling price as J16.50. but had not made that margaln of profit at all times. He gave some details about the business of hia mill, stating that propably a quarter of its output was exported, and only about JO per cent shipped by rail. Does Not Mind Advance in Rates. He said the advance in rates would not cause any serious hardship, as with only 10 per cent of the output going by rail, that would mean an average of 27 cents per lOnO'feet on the entire output, which could be distributed among loggers, mill men and yardmen, costing each only 9 cents per 1000 feet. He was cross-examined by J. N. Teal for the lumbermen, who asked him about his relationship to other mill men in Portland. Poulsen said he belonged to no association of that kind. Questioned about his attitude during the strike last Spring, he said he had decided not to give an advance in wages because he saw hard times coming and did not want to help create a wrong situation. He de clared that he had always been with worlcingmen and had not reduced wages and did not propose to do so if he could help it. Ex-Governor Clough Testifies. Ex-Governor D. M. Clough, of Minne sota, now connected with the Clark Nlck erson Lumber Company, of Everett, "Wash., was also a witness for the de fendants. Ex-Governor Clough testified that his company had made more than $500,000 during Jhe pa3t five years in the purchase, cutting and shipping of lum ber. On cross-examination he said that on common lumber shipped to San Fran cisco Bay points his company had made no money. Its profits being made on the high grades of lumber produced and shipped by rail. It was his belief that most of the large lumber companies could produce lumber and market It at the advanced rates fixed by the railroads at a fair profit. Pressed by attorneys for the complain ants, ex-Governor Clough admitted that while other companies were complaining of a lack of cara for the handling of their products, his company had not been em barrassed in that way. He did not ad mit that this was due to ny peculiarly close relations with the railroad compa nies which his company enjoyed. Will Not Admit Being Favored. Effort was made to connect operations of his mill with James J. Hill or with Interests controlling the Great Northern, but Clough dented close relation with Hill and did not know about' the connec tion of D. M. Robbins, of St. Paul, the principal stockholder in his mill, with the Great Northern. Counsel for the lumbermen tried to get admissions from Clough and Poulsen that they had been favored in car dis tribution by roads they did business with, but they were not advised as to what other mills were getting- in the way of car supply. Clough said he piled lumber up in his yards and PoulBen said he ex ported his lumber when he could not get any other outlet. Advances in Price of Logs. Johan Poulsen, a sawmill operator at Portland! Or., testified today that there had been an advance in the price of logs of from t6 to $12 In the past two years. This advance, he explained, was due in part, at least, to the San Fran cisco earthquake and fire, which created an immense demand for lumber. The log ging associations, he said. Increased the price of logs at almost every meeting. interesting testimony was given at the afternoon hearing by Mr. Millard, a lum ber operator In Louisiana, In the yellow pine district. He said that while the ad vance In rates on the lumber from the North Pacific States would benefit the yellow pine lumber manufacturers, it would tend to equalize the rates from the two districts, as four or five years ago the yellow pine people were subjected to an advance from 1 cent to 5 cents a hundred pounds. He explained that the yellow pine manufacturers came into competition with the Pacific Coast lum ber as far west as Denver. He was In clined to the view that the rates as fixed by the advance would fairly equalize the rate situation between the yellow pine manufacturers and the North Pacific Coast manufacturers of lumber. BOYCOTT GETS BODY BLOW (Continued From First Page.) criminati'e treatment against organ ised labor. President V,ancleve, of the Rtove company, it was charged, die charged as an employe the president of a St. Louis local union and threatened to discharge all other members of the union committee of employes that sought to deal with him. The court held that the contention of the defense, . that there cannot be unlawful combination where each member thereof might do individually the thing contemplated without respon sibility to the law, has much of plaus ibility and "seems to evade accurate analysis." Judge Gould cited authorities, how ever, to show that a combination .of two or more persons with such an in tent and under such circumstances that Rive thorn, when so combined, a power to do an Injury they would not possess as individuals acting jointly, has al ways been recognized as In Itself wrongful and illegal. Judge Gi'uld also handed down two opinions granting permanent Injunctions In the case of Bender against the Bakers and Confectioners' Union and Lawton against the International Carriage and Wagon Workers, two local cases which the court decided- along the same lines as the Buck stove case. Decision Is Far-Reaching. James H. Beck, of New""York, ex Assistant Attorney-General who,-with Daniel Davenport, of Bridgeport. Conn., and J. J. Darlington, of this city, who represented the Buck company,. said: "While the decision contains no n.w de parture in legal principles and simply fol lows the weight of authority in both the Stat and Federal Court, the case la of far reaching effect as the first case where the American Federation of Iabor, as a body, has been enjoined from using lis chief weapon of offense and defense, the boycott. For years the manufacturers throughout the country have feared the 'formidable black list of the Federation with Its membership of nearly two million . men. and many of them, in some .cases, whole Industrie have yielded to the demands of the Federation. Previous Injunction suits to prevent these widespread boycotts have been brought against local and state labor organizations, with remedial result which were purely local. In this case the Injunctions are granted against the officers and Executive Council, by whose orders boycotts are de clared and prosecuted.' Such boycotts, are now declared unlawful in the District of Columbia, where the headquarters of the Federation are. While the court did not pass on the application of the Sherman Anti-Trust Law to the plaintiffs interstate trade, yet this omission is of minor - importance, as that point will soon be passed upon by the Bu preme Court of the United States in a case which recently advanced for argument and argued. , , J. H. Ralston, of counsel for the Fed eration, said tonight that he had no opinion to express regarding the decision; the injunction was a temporary one and that, in so far as the Sherman law or the Interstate commerec law, which ques tion had been raised In the proceedings, was concerned, he regarded the decision as affecting that phase of the case a vic tory for the defense. FREDKRICK E. SARGEANT, OF JEWELERS NATIONAL, DEAD. Bank Closely Connected With Chase National of New York Will Open for Business, a Usual. ' NORTH ATTLEBORO, Mass., Dec. 17. Frederick E. Sargeant, vice-president and cashier of the Jewelers National Bank .of this town, and prominently iden tified with .business in North Attleboro and Providence, R. I.,' was found dead in the bathtub at his apartments by his wife tonight. According to the medical examiner, death was due to accidental drowning. When the news of Sargeaut's sudden death became generally known there was an informal meeting of several of the bank's directors, which lasted until a late hour. The directors got into communica tion with Albert H. Wiggin, of New York, president of the Institution, and also vice president of the Chase National Bank of that city, and acting upon his instructions the bank will reopen for business as usual tomorrow.' A call has been issued for a meeting of all the directors tomorrow. National Bank Examiner Harry F. Cur rier, of Maiden.- will be present to go over the bank's books. , Mr. Currier made a regular examination of the bank's books yesterday, at the same time that a regular meeting of the bank's directors was being held, and so far as known the accounts were found correct. Cashier Sargeant, It is said, had been suffering from Indigestion for the past few days. The Chase National Tank of New York holds a majority of the stock of the Jew eler National and as Mr. Wiggin lives in that city, Mr. Sargeant has had charge of the local institution. SEflHCH SUITABLE - PLACES GROUNDS FOR MANEUVERS ARE .'WANTED IN CALIFORNIA. All Troops on Coast to Be Brought to This State and Maps Are Being Accumulated. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17. (Special.) Colonel J. W. Duncan, chief of staff, has been very busy this last week accumu lating mkps of all the different sections of California, where It might be advisable to hold maneuvers early during the com ing year. . There has been some talk of holding the maneuvers at American Lake, Washing ton, but that is now out of the ques tion, as since the divisions were abolished ouly the troops of the Department of the Columbia could utilize American Lake the troops of this department must have their maneuvers in this state. The Heney ranch at Atascade and the Baron von Schroder properties at Santa Marguerita, it is reported, are both avail able should the Government decide to se lect the Southern portion of the state as a field of rendezvous. Sections in the Northern portion of the state are also being looked info. The present Intention Is to concentrate all the troops of the Coast in California for these maneuvers. WILLING. BUT NOT SEEKING (Continued From First Page.) has not been a candidate for anything but the confidence of the people. He adds that, if he should hereafter decide to be a candidate for any office, he would say so frankly. The statement follows- "Washington, Dec. 17, 1907.-I do not know that I am called upon to make a statement at this time, but In view of to liic tniiuua i uiiifirx in wmi i the alleged political activity of friends ui mine in my interest, I will say that I have not been a candlate for anything but the confidence of the people In the discharge of my duties as Secretary of the Treasury. I have not In person sought nor have the friends whose names have been mentioned In this connection sought to influence political movements in my interest; and I have not, nor have they, used any influence, directly or In directly, to secure political support for or against my candidacy for- the Presi dency, and accusations that such has been done are unqualifiedly false. In no office, in no department with which I am connected, have I authorized or permitted officials or employes to influence any such movements, nor shall I do so. "In common with many' other citizens, I have decided views as to policies and as to candidates, but I shall refrain from expressing them until I believe it Is proper for me to do so. Upon this state ment I am entirely content to leave the ... v. . .. ....... v. .. wuvtusiuns re garding such rumors as those to which "Tf in (ha ftltitV T shall ifuiU. a candidate for any office, I shall be pre- JJ 11 1 l J iu oaj " ' ' 1 nitu Biaio me grounds upon which I ask for support.

SUIT 10 ANNUL ELECTION Seaside Resident Would ' Restrain Councllmen From TakiTig Seats. ASTORIA, Or..' Dec. 17. (Special.) A suit was filed In the Circuit Court this afternoon by A. E. Miller aerainst W. E. Burke, Recorder of Seaside, and H. C. Anderson and E. S. Henningrer, to prevent the latter two-named defendants from as suming offices to which they were re cently elected. The complaint asserts that the plaintiff 1b a resident and tax payer at Seaside; that Defendant Burke Is Recorder of Seaside, and that at the municipal election held on December 11 defendants Henninger and Anderson re ceived the highest number of votes cast for the offices 'of treasurer and council man from the Second Ward, respectively. Continuing, the complaint alleges that neither Henninger nor Apderaon is a tax payer In Seaside, and under the charter of the town are not qualified to hold of fice; that these two defendants, as well as the Mayor of t;.j town, are employes of the Seaside Mill Company and formed a combination to defeat certain amend ments to the city charter; that the said mill company uses a large quantity of water, rendering It impossible, to supply the town and lt inhabitants with vater during the Summer season and thus cut ting off the revenues of the town. The complaint further allege that by a con-' tinuance of such acts Seaside and Ihe plaintiff In this suit will suffer irrepar able loss and subject their property to danger of loss, by fire, and that if Ander son is allowed to qualify as a Council man his actions In the Council will be il legal and the town will thus not be abie to carry on Its business. It asks that Defendant W. E. Burke be restrained from issuing a certificate of election to either Henninger or Anderson, until the further order of the court. The petition for a temporary injunction will be ar gued before County Judge Trenchard to morrow. . . Receiver Tor Glendale Bank. ROSEBURG, Or., Dec. 17. (Special.) R. A. Jones and E. E. Redfleld today petitioned that Judee Hamilton appoint a receiver for the State Bank at Glen dale, which avoided a run yesterday by failing to open Its doors. J. L. WInchell was at once appointed and his bonds fixed at 20.000. By all conversant with the facts there is hut one opinion and that is that the bank was fully solvent and ahle to pay dollar for dollars of all its liabilities, but evil minded persons put into circulation false reports, caused by a failure of one or more milling concerns, all ot which pre cipitated an uncalled for run, resulting In suspension.. The' depositors will now be forced to await the slow process of a settlement In tha courts.
