Makes Order.

Decision Follows Washington
Northern Pacific Ruling.
WILL LIKELY BE OBEYED
Hill Road Has Made No Attempt to
Fight Regulation and Oregon Line
Is Expected to Submit Mate
rial Reductions In Tariffs.
The State Railroad Commission of
Oregon yesterday handed down Its
findings in the matter of the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company and
its various branches in Oregon, known
as the grain-rate case, which has been
before the Commission for several
months. The Commission declares the
rates now in force to be unjust and
unreasonable and orders a reduction
equivalent to a cut of about one-eighth
in the present rates, which will make
a difference in the revenue of the rail
roads of approximately J75.000 per
year on the volume of business being
rTt at Mils time.
The grain-rate order was issued by
the Commission from its office in a
im. nnrt while the general freight de
partment of the Oregon Railroad & Nav
igation Company yesterday was aware
that such an order had been issued,
only its general terms were known. W.
E. Coman, assistant general freight
agent, declined to express any opinion
as to whether the railroad company
would abide by the order or appeal to
the courts to prevent its enforcement.
Like Washington Order
The order, in effect, is practically the
same as that made by the Washington
Railway Commission, commanding -
flat reduction of 12 per cent on grain
rates from points on the Northern Pa
clfico Puget Sound.
Recent action by the Northern Pa
cific has given the Washington Com
mission the understanding that the
railroad will obey the order without
recourse to the courts. The Wash
ington Commission has made such an
anouncement, but in the offices of the
North Bank Railroad, which of neces
sity in the preservation of its business
will be compelled to meet the cut, noth
ing definite is known as to the pur
pose of the Northern Pacific.
H. M. Adams, general manager of the
North Bank, which, as is well known, is
owned in. part by the Northern Pacific,
said yesterday he had asked the North
ern Pacific officials to notify him as soon
as they reached a decision as to their
course of action. Yesterday he had not
received any word and said the North
Bank was not engaged In revising" its
freight schedules. Mr. Adams is inclined
to believe the Northern Pacific at
torneys were unable to Interpret
the order of the Washington Com
mission and asked for a ' suppte-

iZle to advance the cause "
General Frederick D. Grant voiced this
sentiment today when interviewed upon
his return from the Hudson-Fulton cele

natured mood when he spoke of the
controversy raised by W. R. Michaells.
an official of the United Societies, who
questioned the propriety of General
Grant's leading the temperance parade
in Chicago last Saturday, in a letter writ
ten to the War Department.
"Personally, I am a teetotaller," con
tinued General Grant, "and If I could
reduce drunkenness by one-half I
should feel I had done my share of
good In the world. No one need have
any doubts as to my personal feelings
upon this subject. The controversy ap
pears to have been over the use of my
uniform. Why. my dear sir, that parade
represented things the Army . stands for.
It was a law and order demonstration."

With the tentacles of a six-foot octopus
encircling her ankle and gradually drag
ging her to the bottom of the sea. Miss
Mary Seymour, a pretty Los Angeles

escape whHe bathing in deep water to
day. She had been pulled beneath the
surface twice and was well-nigh exhaust
ed by her struggles with the monster
when three ' fishermen were lowered over
the end of the pier with ropes and res
cued her.
One of the fishermen had a gaff and
by diving he managed to plunge it into
the devilfish several times before the
water became ink black and it released
its grip. The girl 'was fainting when
drawn upon the pier.
SUSPECTED OF PIRACY
Colt Carries Rapid-Fire Guns May
Be Declared Forfeited.
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 1. A special dis
patch from Merida says:
The pilot boat Colt, suspected of being
engaged in actual piracy, is equipped
with several rapid fire guns. The suspi
cious conduct of the vessel caused the
gunboat Bravo to run her down.
A corps of customs officers has been
sent aboard for the purpose "of making
an inventory of her cargo and both cargo
and vessel will be declared forfeited to
the Government. The capture has cre
ated a great sensation.
For some time the Mexican gunboats
have been convinced that piracy was
practiced on a small scale In the Gulf,
but they had heretofore been unable to
capture any of the supposed pirate ships.

Ample Ammunition.
SAN BERNARDTS'O. Cal . Oct. 1.
Developments today in trie chase across
the desert wastes of San Bernardino
County after "Willie Boy." a "bad"
Piute Indian, form a most thrilling
chapter in this story of real life Willie
Rnv murdered his 14-year-old sweet
heart, whom he carried away from the
home of her father at Banning four
days ago after he had killed her father,
Old Boniface, a reservation Indian,
whn the latter refused to let ins
daughter go away with the young Piute
buck.
A posse of deputies, led by Sheriff
Wilson, with trailers to guiiie them
across the wide stretch of desert and
mountain passes, came at dawn today
upon the body of the girl at The Pipes,
a waterhole 55 miles from Banning.
There was a huge hole through the
girl's heart and the body was cruelly
tqrn by thorns and jagged rocks and
the feet blistered and cut and bruised
from the long and hurried flight over
mountains and desert.
Footprints around where the body lay
told something of the desert tragedy.
Indian trailers were able to tell that
"Willie Boy" had partly carried and
partly dragged"tHe girl there after she
was no longer able to walk by his side.
He had gone on for a little way with
out her and then had come back and
shot her.
"Willie Boy" Is believed now to have
made his escape to the Arizona border.
He is armed with a rifle and has plenty
of ammunition. Three officers and
two Indian trailers left today from
Daggett, hoping to head off the outlaw
or pick up his trail. The belief of
Sheriff Wilson Is that the fugitive is
making for the Chemehuvla reserva
tion on the Colorado River and that lie
will secure provisions there and then
strike for Death Valley.
