From Decision.
BECAUSE ITS LINE IS LONGER
Points Between Pendleton and
Spokane Affected. .
MUST PRESENT NEW PLAN
Entire Revision or Rates From St.
Paul to Points East or Spokane
Is Condition or Postponing
Xew Spokane Rates.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Waah
Ington, May 13. Because it la 2300 miles
from St. Paul to Spokane over the Har
riman railway system and only 1900 miles
over the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today modified its recent decision
in the Spokane rate case, exempting: the
Harrlman roads from adoption of the
rates fixed by that decision as to St. Paul
traffic. This decision was made possible
only by the fact that no direct line from
Si. Faul to Omaha was a party to the
Spokane case.
The Commission, however. Is unwilling
Ht this time to grant similar exemption
to the Harriman system on freight from
Chicago to tipokane, Because the North
western and Burlington roads, which con
nect with the Union Pacific system at
Omaha, were parties to that case. How
ever, the Commission temporarily post
pones Its order as to Chicago-Spokane
rates over, the Union Pacific, giving the
Harriman roads opportunity to establish
new rates from Chicago to all territory
between Pendleton and Spokane. In its
decision, handed down today, the Com
mission says:
Reach Spokane Opposite Ways.
"The real difficulty arises with respect
to territory traversed by the Union Pa
cific in reaching Spokane. The Union Pa
cific line to Spokane leaves the main line
at Pendleton, reaching Spokane over a
branch 2&1 miles in length. The Northern
y Paclfio extends to Pendleton, which it
reaches through Spokane from the Kast.
Therefore, with respect to the Union Pa
cific route, Spokane is a more distant
point, -while with respect to the Northern
Paciflo route. Pendleton Is a more distant
point. This condition has resulted in the
past in giving to all that territory lying
between Spokane and Pendleton the Spo
kane rate. If, now, the Union Pacific Is
excused from naming these rates to Spo
kane and the Northern Pacific Is not re
quired to name them to Pendleton, what
is to be the fate of this territory?
Roads Must Revise Rates.
The effective date of the order of the
Commission with respect to all defend
ants has been postpond until June 1. One
of the conditions upon which that post
ponement Is granted Is that on or before
May 20 some comprehensive plan will be
presented by the carriers to the Commis
sion for the establishment of rates to all
Intermediate territory. That plan will
necessarily embrace this territory be
tween Pendleton and Spokane. If it is
approved by the Commission, no further
steps In this case will be necessary. If It
la not approved, Spokane' wul probably
be obliged to file a supplemental petition
for the purpose of securing an order
with respect to the remaining commodity
rates and we think that one or more of
these other communities should also in
tervene In this case, to -the end that the
whole Question may be disposed of upon
tills record.
"If rates are not established which are
satisfactory to points upon t.ie Union Pa
ciflo lines, like Baker City. Pendleton,
Walla Walla, etc.. we will permit tuose
communities to file Intervening petitions
in this proceeding, upon consideration of
which a conclusion will be reached and
rates established."
CALIFORNIA ENTERS PROTEST
Faj-8 New Interior Rates Will Injure
Const Cities.
PAN FRANCISCO. May 13. Believing
that the reduction of freight rates to
Inland distributing points ordered re
cently by the Hill and Harriman roads,
in accordance with the decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission in -the
so-called Spokane case, will serlousfly
Injure Pacific Coast cities to which no
corresponding reduction has been made.
William R. Wheeler, traffic manager of
the Merchants' Exchange, wired to the
commissioners today asking for a stay
in their approval of the proposed rates
until the coRst cities have had an oppor
tunity to show the Injustice of the new
tariff. '
When the Interstate Commission de
cided the Spokane case. It ordered the
railroads In revising their rates to take
into consideration the rates from the
Pacific Coast to Interior points, so that
y the business of the coast cities should
not be affected adversely. One of the
objects the commission had In mind when
his was ordered was to keep an even
balance between merchants competing
for the same trade.
Under the ruling as the railroads have
construed It. It Is asserted by Traffic
Manager Wheeler and others interested,
that Kastern jobbing houses will he

Lack or "Prosperity Rush" Gives
Trainmen Chance to Use Care
and Observe All Rules.
CHICAGO. May 13. (Special.) Not since
the business prostration of 1895 and 18S
has travel on American railroads been so
safe as it was during 1908. In a pamphlet
Issued by the Bureau of Railway News
and Statistics, It is stated that there were
15S2 fewer fatalities to passengers and em
ployes in railway accidents during 1908
than there were during 1907. which is a
decrease of approximately 40 per cent.
The greatest decrease was in fatalities
resulting from train accidents, and the
following conclusion is drawn:
"All things considered, the conclusion
Is unavoidable that the diminution in
fatalities was due almost entirely to the
recession in freight traffic, which took
the strain off every department of service
and substituted an orderly observance
of rules by passengers and employes, in
stead of their violation in the feverish
rush of prosperity."
RIPLEY HITS POLITICIANS
Says They Meddle With Railroads
From Evil Motives.
CHICAGO, May 13. President Ripley,
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railroad, returned here today after a
trip over the system.
"The railroads of the West," he said,
"have but one thing to fear, and that Is
meddlesome and malicious interference
In the conduct of their business by leg
islature! and commissions having no in
terest in the property and no knowledge
of railroad matters, elected not to do
Justice, but for the sole purpose of get
ting as much as possible out of the cor
poration's Increased service and reduced
rates.
"I think public sentiment has changed
slightly and is less tolerant of the per
secution of railroads, but there are yet
eome politicians who have not found this
out."

OLTMPIA, Wash.; May 13. (Special.)
J. H. Schively will attempt to evade
personal responsibility for the scandals
uncovered in the insurance department
by the legislative investigating commit
tee by shifting the entire responsibility
upon Secretary of State Sam H. Nichols,
who has resigned upon promise of Im
munity from - prosecution. Schively left
for Spokane at noon In response to a
summons from h is attorneys there, who
are defending him on charges of perjury
and forgery for which he was indicted by
the grand Jury.
Schively Moves in Secret.
Just before leaving Schively declared he
would never resign. His attorney, George
Israel, who was with him. In, relpy to a
question as to what would be done by
Schively if the Legislature is ceiled to
Impeach him. said:
"We'll not expose our ammunition to
the Governor by answering that question.
We ' may wish to take some steps we do
not care to make public now.'
Followed Law, He Says.
Asked If it was his intention to shift
all blame for the collection of flat rate
fees and alleged irregularities upon ex
secretary Nichols, Israel stated that the
advice of counsel to Mr. Schively in re
gard to criminal proceedings was that
there was no statutory offense in the
charging of flat rates for examination
of insurance companies. In lieu of fol
lowing the exact statute providing for
the collection from companies of the
actual cost of examination.
If Act Wrong, Secretary Liable.
"We contend." said Attorney Israel,
"that if there Is a criminal offense, Mr.
Schively's only connection with the vio
lation of the statute was that of an em
ploye in. the office of the Secretary of
State, ex-officio Insurance Commissioner,
performing the duties and carrying out
the policies of his chief. If there is
any criminal responsibility. It rests upon
the Secretary of State and not upon Mr.
Schively. The deprecated policies of the
Secretary of State were abandoned when
Schively took the Insurance department
following the election. The past policy
was abrogated.

STRIKE DOOMED TO FAIL
Only 10 Per Cent of Postal Em

Spread Dismay in Ranks and
Some ltesume Work.
PARIS. May 13. A turbulent session
of the Chamber of Deputies today re
sulted in a victory for Premier Cle
menceau, when the government's policy
with regard to the postal strike was
emphaclcaly indorsed by a vote vof
454 to 59, including also the govern
ment's insistence that the postal em
ployes and other functionaries have no
right - to strike.
Immediately afterward the Chamber
passed a vote of general confidence
in the government by 365 to 75.
The strikers received the Chamber's
rebuke with a shrug of the shoulders,
declaring it only served to bind closer
their forces, which would soon startle
the country by a big increase and a
rapid extension of the general move
ment. On the other hand, it Is inti
mated that the government has "other
plans In view to offset any serious
growth of the strike.
Up to midnight there was no change
In the situation. If anything, it was in
the direction of a weakening of the strike
sentiment. The general convit:tlon Is
that if the movement does not make vast
strides tomorrow it is almost certain of
complete failure.
M. Barthou, Minister of Public Works,
Posts ar.d Telegraphs, asserted during the
debate that only 2367 out of "2;586TOstal
employes in Paris and the Department of
the Seine are out, and that conditions in
the provinces were even better. .
M. Clemenceau coolly concluded the ex
citing session with the statement that it
was a case merely where France must
choose between revolution on the one
hand end progressive evolution on the
other, or between work under Republican
law and order and a spirit of adventure
