Hearing I Now On.
FT E. W. WRIGHT.
SPOKAra, -Wash.. Sept. . (Staff Cor
respondence.) The Fpokane rats c.
which cam r for a bp con a hearing be
fore the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion in this city today, bore but little
resemblance to the celebrated case In
which testimony was taken In this city
nearly three years ago.
Spokane certainly started something
when she tiled the original complaint In
the belief that her already unwarranted
Jobbing- sone would be still further
- widened. It all seemed so easy at that
time, for Spokane reasoned that as the
railroad had already given her an In
defensible Jobbing rate that 'shut compe
tition out of territory where it rightfully
belonged, a loud noise and a big bluff
would add still more to hesJobblng area.
Pronty Sounds Warning.
In setting In motion this power that
would lead to lower rates into Spokane
and protective rates by .which, to dis
tribute. Spokane failed to look beyond
the Immediate horlson or to take notice
of anything more than the local aspects
of the case. These details that were
' overlooked at that time are In evidence
today, and they were forced home oh
Spofcace, In such a manner that they
could not well be misunderstood.
Commissioner Prouty gave Spokane the
first glance of the handwriting on the
wall when he announced that while the
Commission's order on the original com
plaint affected only the 12 commodities
mentioned, and those only when shipped
in carload lots, it must not be assumed
that the final order, which will follow
the present hearing, will not go farther.
Reductions for Small Shipments.
Mr. Prouty stated that his final order
will fix rates, not only on carload lots,
button less than carload lots, and inti
mated that the entire territory Involved
east of Chicago and west of Spokane
would be included in that order. "What
this portends for Spokane can be under
stood when It Is noted that no reduc
tion In less than carload rates is asked
or desired by Spokane.
Attorney Barlow, of the Chicago Cham
ber of Commerce, increased the shivery
feeling for Spokane when he announced
that his clients would Insist on a re
e ductlon in the less than carload rates in
' keeplDg with the reduction in carload
rates granted Spokane In the original
order. He went farther and pointed out
that even with the reduction granted
Spokane on carload rates, the less than
carload rates were all out of proportlonj
and in the Interests of the consumers
must be reduced if the Commission's
reasons for reducing the carload rates
were sound.
Cut Will Hit Spokane Hard.
These high, less-than-carload rates have
protected Spokane from the Chicago, St.
Louis and other Middle "Western Jobbers
and mail-order bouses Invading the West
ern field The Commission, however, has
a' precedent sustained by the court for
reducing these rate, the St. Louis decis
ion declaring that the less-than-carload
rates should not be mors than 150 per cent
of the carload rates, with a maximum dif
ference of 50 cents per hundred allowed.
Conformity with this decision would
slash every 'less-than-carload rate In the
Pacific Northwest, Spokane, having no
direct water competition, would be hit
harder Jban any other city. That Spo
kane has a pretty good Idea of the seri
ous nature of the coming storm, and now
realises that she has set in. motion some
thing that she Is powerless, to stop, is ap
parent in the dejected manner in which
those In closest touch with the situation
view the matter.
Monroe Absents Himself.
Secretary Monroe, of the Chamber of
Commerce, the leading spirit in stirring
up the row three yeans ago, flanked by
high-priced lawyers and experts whom he
was continually coaching throughout the
original bearing, was not in evidence at
the hearing today, and when I encoun
tred him on the street at noon and asked
the reason, be eaid he had more impor
tant business, and pointed to a badge of
the Mining Rngineers' Institute, who are
in convention in this city.
And yet the importance of this case is
such that it has brought to Spokane more
1 than 60 lawyers and traffic men represent

the largest Jobbing centers in the United
States. New Tork. Philadelphia, Boston,

PITTS BTRG. Pa., Sept. 29. (Special.)
Chinamen In Pittsburg are deserting
the Christian religion because the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church no longer per
mits a female instructor for each scholar

cided" that this plan shall be enforced
and the Chinese, highly indignant, are
deserting the mission.
It la possible female teachers may
again be reinstated, owing to desertions,
but only those of mature age will be ap
pointed. Immediately after the Slgel tragedy,
members of the Seoond Church, which is
one of the most prominent in the city,
entered Into a hot debate concerning the
advisability of continuing the plan of
teaching Chinese In the way of Chris
tianity. Every scholar in the mission had
for his Instructor one of the girls of the
congregation.

Despite Overtures From Pierce

OLTMPIA, Wash.. Sept. 29. (Staff
correspondence.) With "play ball" the

bat the chairman's gavel, the partici
pants in last night's caucus carried out
today in the Congressional convention
the programme as outlined and named
as the Republican candidate for Congress
Judge W. W. McCredie. of the Superior
Court of Clark County, and owner of the
two Portland baseball clubs.
Judge McCredie was nominated on the
first ballot by 123 votes, the exact num
ber represented In the caucus. James
M. Ashton. 'of Tacoma, received 103
votes, getting in addition to the 99
pledged him from Pierce. Thurston, Ma
Son and Clallam Counties, the four from
Pacific County who refused to abide by
the unit rule adopted in that delegation.
Ashton Forces Tempt Harmon.
The Ashton forces went down fighting
to the last, after skirmishing that com
menced at an early hour this morning
and lasted until the ballot was taken.
Then and only then did they accept the
Inevitable, and Ashton himself,- in a
speech so diplomatic that it brought
three cheers from the convention, moved
to' make the nomination unanimous.
The Ashton people used every power of
persuasion they possessed to induce mem
bers of other delegations whom they
knew to be friendly to abandon the cau
cus agreement today and, falling in this,
they offered to Lewis County, Just be
fore the convention, Ashton's entire sup
port In favor of IT. E. Harmon, if the
latter would bolt the caucus agreement.
The offer was rejected.
Riotous Scenes Begin Early.
Almost from the instant that B. W.
Coiner, the chairman of Congressional
district committee, called the convention
to order at 11 o'clock this morning in
Olympla Theater, the session became
riotous. Coiner, who was from Pierce
County and an Ashton man, had been
primed as to the Ashton programme.
This was to prevent Pacific County par
ticipating in the choice of the temporary
chairman. It was hoped that if thla
point was won enough would break away
from the caucus agreement to give Ash

Lincoln Expects No Strenuous Fight.
Much Railroad Stock in
Others' Names.
CHICAGO, Sept. 29. (Special.) Al
though the amount of Inheritance tax
which Illinois will demand from the
estate of Edward H. Harriman may run
up to $200,000 or more, Walter K. Lin
coln, inheritance tax. attorney, today
expressed confidence that the Harriman
heirs' will be unable to evade lts pay
ment. Mr. Lincoln declared there is no
point on which the validity of the new
law, which gives the authority to levy
the tax, can successfully be attacked.
"I anticipate no strenuous opposition
to the state's claim for an inheritance
tax." said Mr. Lincoln. "I believe we
shall be able to get at the exact amount
of the Harriman estate in Illinois, and
that iwe shall collect the tax without
more than the usual amount of litiga
tion. "Since the new law went into effect
upward of 100 suits for inheritance
taxes have been Instituted against
non-residents, 'and in not one of them
has the validfty of the law been at
tacked." It is expected1 that difficulty In esti
mating the Harriman estate will arise
from the fact that much of the railroad
stock really owned by Harriman Is not
on the stock books in his name. Muoh
of the Harriman stock in the Illinois
Central is in the name of the Union
Pacific Railroad, while some of the
stock is entered in the books in the
name of clerks in New York financial
houses through whom the purchase of
stock was made.
