Federal Court Rules Against
Discrimination in Supply
ing Cars for Grain.
SUIT AGAINST 0. R. & N.
Jud;re Wolvcrton Pismires Motion
to Quash Proceeding on Ground
That Warehouses Are Depos
itories for the Tubllc
In dismissing the motion to quash
the mandamus proceeding brought by
the Northwestern Warehouse Com
pany against the O. R. & N. Company
to compel the defendant company to
make an equitable distribution of Its
cars among shippers. Judge Wolverton
discusses In plain terms the duty of
transportation agencies to shippers
under the provisions of the interstate
commerce act. The motion was dis
posed of yesterday and, in doing so.
Judge tVolverton holds that ware
houses, although owned by private In
terests, are public depositories for the
storage of grain and cannot in any
way be discriminated against by rail
roads in the distribution of cars.
The rule established by the railroad
and requiring that orders for cars must
be made through warehousemen is
criticized by the court for the reason
that it operates unfairly towards the
small shipper and to the advantage of
the larger shipper. Under the opera
tion of this rule, however, holds the
court, it Is the duty of the railroad
to see that warehousemen deal fairly
with all shippers In distributing cars
and to see that the parties for whom
the cars are assigned have the privi
lege of their use. The court further
holds that it is Incumbent on the rail
road to require absolutely fair treat
ment of all shippers under the rule or
to form another rule that will attain
such a result.
Refused Cars to Company.
The suit was a proceeding by writ
of mandamus to require the O. R. & N.
Company to furnish cars for the trans
portation of grain for the complaining
warehouse company in proportion to
the number of cars furnished for a
like service for the use of relator's
competitors engaged -in the same busi
ness. The warehouse company, in its
complaint, represented that It had be
tween 15.000 and 17,000 tons of wheat
stored in warehouses, principally in
Adams and Whitman Counties, Wash
ington, on the lines of the defendant
railroad company.
It was charged by the shippers that
the railroad company practiced gross
discrimination in the. distribution of
its cars for shipping purposes, with
the result that the complainants were
unable to secure scarcely any cars. In
dismissing the motion of the railroad
to quash the proceeding. Judge Wol
verton discusses the duty of transpor
tation agencies to all shippers as fol
lows: Th railroud company owes a duty to
the shipper that It will not unduly and un
reasonably discriminate against him In favor
of another or other shippers. This duty is
Imposed by law and requires that the car
rier shall not make Tor pive any undue or
unreasonable preference or advantage to any
particular person, company, firm, corpora
tion or locality on any description of traffic
in any respect whatever, or subject any par
ticular company, flr-m, corporation or lo
cality or any particular description of traf
fic to any undue or unreasonable prejudice
or disadvantage in any market wliatover.
s-uch. In effect, are the provisions of section
.1 of the Interstate commerce act of Con
gress. In arguing the motion to quash,
.counsel for the railroad company con
tended that the warehouses interested
in the complaint were owned by pri
vate parties: that they had been con
structed and remained upon the com
pany's right of way by its consent and
were not recognized by it as public
depots for the receipt and shipment of
freight generally, and for that reason
the railroad was entitled to adopt and
insist upon such rules as it decided to
prescribe. But the court holds that
the warehouses, while owned by pri
vate Interests, are' in the larger sense
public depositories for the storage of
grain and are open to all who desire
the service, and for that reason dis
crimination cannot be practiced. On
this point the court says:
Here, then, are two public, or rather
nuasi-public agencies operating together.
Both are performing a. public service one
the storer. and the other the carrier of a
staple commodity of large volurae. taking
Its course in the channels of commerce. The
storer has a specific duty to perform, name
ly, to receive and receipt for and to load
aboard cars when furnished; and the car
rier to furnish the cars and transport the
commodity when requested so to do. "While
It mtght be. In strict legal right, that the
former could refuse service to whomsoever
it would, yet offer it to all. the railroad
company cannot refuse Its services to any
requiring It. tinder like or similar circum
stances and conditions.
The court further questions the right
of the railroad company to insist that
orders for cats be made through ware
housemen, contending that this prac
tice operates against the individual
shipper and in favor of the larger
firms operating on the company's
line. As a result, during the recent
car shortage, the court comments on
the fact that the misappropriation of
cars for shipping purposes was encour
aged by the enforcement of this rule,
which was manifestly tinfair to .the
small shipper. Continuing the court
says:
The rule Inveighed against, while pri
marily and ordinurlly not unreasonable, does
not meet the exigencies of the present sit
uation. The duty of the railroad company
Is to see that no one is discriminated
against. It Is clear that under the present
operation of the rule, the warehousemen are
obtaining preferences and advantages, while
the other storers and shippers arc being
uhjected to prejudice and disadvantage.
The railroad company should remedy this
Inequality, for It is altogether unjust and
unreasonable.
Tt should, therefore, see that the ware
housemen, its agents, deal fairly with all
shippers, themselves Included with the num
ber. In ordering and distributing cars ac
rording to the respective shippers' propor
tionate share, and that the parties for whom
they are assigned have the privilege of their
use. Or it should see to it directly, -without
the Interposition of such agencies. that
Justice be done to all shippers according as
Us duty requires it to do. The railroad
company should either require absolutely
fair treatment at the hands of the ware
housemen or It should abrogate the rule,
and form one to meet the exigencies of the
situation. This duty the company cannot
evade under the guise of a business regula
tion. It Is a positive duty and must be ob
served. As it relates to the sufficiency of the pe
tition and affidavits there Is ample set forth
therein to show prima facie, that the rail
road company has hcen guilty of an evasion
of its duty, imposed upon it by law : that It
is. by the manner adopted of distributing
Its ears for the service, subjecting the
storers and exporters to an undue and un
reasonable prejudice and disadvantage, and
thereby discriminating against them in
favor. of the warehousemen enpag also in
the business of buying and exporting.

SHOT BY PLAMTE
Hector Brault Killed at Mount
Angel College.
THOUGHT GUN WAS EMPTY
Lloyd Holman Raises Shotgun to
Prove That It Is Not loaded
and Fires the Shot That
Proves Fatal.
The body of Hector Brault, the Mount
Angel College student who was shot and
killed by Lloyd Holman Saturday, while
the hoys were out hunting, was brought
to Portland last nieht by his father, A.
J. Brault. and taken to the home of his
parents. 231 Chapman street. The fun
eral will be held on Wednesday.
The shooting and killing of Hector
Brault. while it -was an accident, is
shrouded in mystery, for instead of
young Brault meeting death by tne
wounds of a 22 rifle, the 10-year-old lad
was shot by a 16-gauge shotgun. What
is yet to be explained is where young
Holman got the shotgun. The first story
of the shooting given out was that young
Brault had received his deatn-wouna
from a 22 rifle which his father had
given him for a Christmas present. Who
Is responsible for possessing the danger
ous weapon is not known.
It seems that both of the boys had
been given permission to hunt on Fri
day, and that students of the college
have permission to have firearms with
them at school. Not content with the
fun of the Friday hunt. Brault and
Holman made up their minds to have
another day irl the woods. One of the
boys had asked for permission to go
hunting, and it had been denied, o it
was decided to play truant.
The boys, after being out several
hours, were hastening back, so as not
to be caught. They had reached a
clearing when Holman, who had ex
tracted the shell from the gun, but in
advertently replaced it, aimed at his
companion and fired, thinking to show
him that the gun was empty. The
weapon was discharged, and the con
tents of the shell found lodgment in
Brault's abdomen. In spite of the
mortal wound he had received, young
Brault is said to have staggered to his
feet and broken open the weapon. The
empty cartridge was found by Mr.
Brault near the spot where his son
was shot.
After the shooting young Holman
ran screaming to the college for help.
The wounded child was carried to the
school, but he died a few minutes later.
Mr. Brault was notified, but did not
reach the college until several hours
after his son had died.
When the news of the accidental
shooting reached Portland, it soon
spread to the homes of parents whose
boys were attending the college. The
fact that the names of the boys that
were parties to the sorrowful accident
were not known caused a great deal of
anxiety. Anxious mothers and fathers
kept the telephone busy yesterday for
assurances that it was not their child
who had met death.
Arrangements for the funeral of
Hector Brault have not been com
pleted. TRIES TO PROVE NOT LOADED
Lloyd Holman Aims at Playmate
and Pulls Gun's Trigger.
MOUNT ANGEL, Or., Feb. 24. (Spe
cial.) Saturday afternoon Hector
Brault, aged 10 years, was shot and killed
by Lloyd Holman. aged 13. Both boys
were students at Mount Angel College,
their parents residing in Portland.
Lloyd, who owns a shotgun, asked per
mission of the preseldent of the college
to go hunting. The request being re
fused, he went without permission, and
Hector with him. The boys, about half
past 3 in the afternoon, attempted to
return without being seen, and Lloyd,
in his hurry and excitement to escape
observation by the college authorities,
extracted the shell from his gun and
inadvertently replaced it. The replac
ing of the charge in the gun was ob
served by Hector, who called Lloyd's
attention to the fact. Lloyd, to prove
to his little -friend that the gun was
empty, pulled the trigger, and to his
dismay and horror, the gun went off,
the full charge of ehot passing through
little Hector's abdomen. Medical as
sistance was soon called, but nothing
could be done to save the unfortunate
boy's life. He died at 11 o'clock at
night, remaining conscious until near
the end.
His parents were notified of the la
mentable occurrence and arrived only
a few minutes before life passed away.
The body was chipped to Portland this
afternoon. The remains were accom
panied to the depot by the faculty and
student body. No blame is attached
to the college for this most unfortu
nate affair. It is another case of
"didn't know it was loaded."

When Harry Lander, who has long been famotia in
