TOO FUST TRAINS
iY LEAD TO JAIL
Mr. Mohler Takes Issue With
Harriman's Judgment in
Merger Suit Trial-
PATRONS ARE SATISFIED
Vice - President Kriittsfclinitt, of
Merged Systems, Defends Slower
Time of Freight Train; Says
Commodities Cost More.
NEW YORK, Feb. 22. In the course of
yesterday's hearing of the Government's
suit to dissolve the Union Pacific-Southern
Pacific merger A. L. Mohler, vice
president and general manager of the
" Union Pacific, described the development
of the road during the past 10 years. He
questioned the judgment of the late B. H.
Harrlman as to the operation of trains
bet-ween Council Bluffs and Ogtlen.
"In. 1901," said Mr. Mohler, "wo
moved some cars more quickly than we
do now, but more of them more slow
ly. The service Is better now and more
uniform, and I think Is giving- more
satisfaction. We could run a 64-hour
freight between Council Bluffs and
Ofrden if we sidetracked passenger and
mail trains, j.but we would have to
make 40 miles an hour, and It would
be risky business in such a locality."
Counsel pointed out that Mr. Harrl
man was chairman of the executive
committee of the road in 1901 and had
the final say as to the movement of
trains.
"Tes, I know that, but I question
his Judgment in this respect. But we
cannot take the risks that used to
be taken. If we did some of our offi
cers might go to Jail," aid Mr. Mohler.
Commodities Show Increase.
Frank B. Kellegg took up today the
cross-examination of Julius Krutt
schnitt, vice-president of the Union
Pacific-Southern Pacific system. Mr.
Kellogg asked among other things
about the list of commodities used by
the merger system on which Mr.
Kruttnchnitt had testified prices had
increased.
"Did you select for this list commodi
ties upon which there had been large
increases?" asked Mr. Kellogg.
"No, I simply asked our purchasing
agents to make a list of the principal
commodities showing the differences
in the prices paid," was the reply. He
said there were very few things which
had not advanced in price. Mr. Krutt
schnitt defended the decreased speed of
-certain 'freight trains on his system.
"A. very small per cent of the public
is dissatisfied," he declared. "The Un
ion Pacific at times has operated under
of the Pennsylvania, for instance, are
nothing."
Asked if the increase of approximate-
ly 90 per cent In taxation on the merged
...systems' property in ten years, which
ns nan testified to, represented the in
creased value of the property, Mr.
-''I wouldn't want to say as to that
offhand. I would have to think it over
before answering."
:!. When Mr. Kruttschnitt quoted the In
terstate Commerce Commission report
Ah dividend averages and showed that.
iLiiutrgn tiisj luiiaa tvciu paying a -iw
per cent dividend now, the average of
the Union Pacific for a ten-year period
was 4.62. and on the Southern Pacific
1.9 per cent, Mr. Kellogg asked:
"Would you undertake to say what
portion of the stock upon which rail
roads pay dividends is watered stock
and what part actual capital invested?"
Mr. Kruttschnitt answered, that he
rather believed the Interstate Com
merce Commission had disregarded
watered tock in preparing its tabula
tion of dividend averages. He said he
understood four of the 10 per cent divi
dends were paid on investments.
".Don't you know that the property
was mortgaged for $100,000,000 Tor the
purpose of purchasing other railroad
properties and that Interest on this
$100,000,000 was paid out of operating
expenditures and charged before divi
dends?" asked Air. Kellogg.
"I believe our reports will show the
facts, whatever they may be," said Mr.
Kruttschnitt. "There has been no
secrecy about anything that was done."
ALBERTA ACTS ON DRAWS
Improvement Association Protests
Delay; Seeks Regulation
At the meeting of the Alberta Im
provement Association -Jast night in
Baker's Hall. Kast Seventeenth and
Alberta streets, the matter of vacating
streets in Kast PortlaruJ for use of the
O. R. & N. Co. was discussed, and while
the requirements set forth by the East
Side Business Men's Club were indorsed,
no action was taken. .
The ' question will, be . considered at
another meeting.' It appeared to be the
sentiment of the club that if these streets
are vacated the Harriman lines should
compensate the city fort them. .
It was announoed that the petitions,
asking the Council to provide 'a chemical
fire engine for the "Vernon district, are
being circulated and will soon be ready
for presentation.
Ae resolution Inviting the co-operation
of other push clubs, to participate in a
general movement to secure the regula
tion of the bridge draws, was unanimous
ly adopted.
DEATH CAUSED BY HOLD-UP
Shock Hesults Fatally to Mrs. C. A.
Bates, Aged. 6 3.
Mrs. C. A. Bates, aged 63 years, liv
ing with her husband at 347 Seven
teenth Btreet, died suddenly, yesterday
afternoon at her home from cerebral
hemorrhage. Death, it is thought, re
sulted primarily from a nervous shock
ssutained by Mrs. Bates a few weeks
ago in Idaho, when she and her hus
band were held up and robbed by high
waymen while on their way to Port
land in a prairie schooner.
The old couple crossed the plains to
Oregon in 1862. and, after living in the
state until well advanced in years, de
cided to go to Boise, Idaho, and once
more make the trip by wagon to Ore
gon and Portland. It was while on
their way here they were robbed.
Mrs. Bates never fully recovered from
the shock, and yesterday's traglo cul
mination to her life is the result.
HENRY'S HOPE MAY FAIL
Improvement of Thirteenth Street
May Go On.
Charles K. Henry yesterday afternoon
liUd sviUi City Auditor Earbur a. reman
Ml
strance said to be signed by owners of
SO per cent-of the property on Thirteenth,
Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, in
North Portland, which were to have been
paved with Belgian blocks at a cost of
J150.O00 in a district improvement. He de
clares this "kills" tlie work under the
law, but in the Auditor's office it. was
said he had failed to secure sufficient sig
natures, or that some were defective,
owing to the fact that agents for the
property had signed without having filed
powers of attorney.
Incidentally, Mr. Henry took a fling at
City Engineer Morris, who, he declared in
a letter to Auditor Barbur, had insisted
upon certain things against which Mr.
Henry and others protested. Mr. Henry,
in effect, said he felt he was being forced
into allowing the improvement to proceed
because the city officials thought he
could not get the 80 per cent remon
strance necessary to cause its defeat.
"My sole objection to the Improvement
was that on Thirteenth street there have
been laid numerous switches." said Mr.
Henry. "To tea? these up would not only
cost an immense sum, but business along
the street would be seriously interfered
with. It is a wholesale street, with many
large houses doing a big business, and
it would not do to tie them all up indefi
nitely as would have been done had the
improvement gone through as planned."
Regarding the Insufficiency of the re
monstrance, as alleged by the Auditor's
office, Mr. Henry declared he is certain
he has more than enough signatures to
stop the improvement, but added that he
would take the matter Into the courts if
the city should "become technical and try
to force the issue.
CLAY CLEMENT IS DEAD
ACTOIt WEI.Tj KXOWX HERE
DIKS IX KANSAS CITY'.
After Closing Two Weeks' Engage
ment, He Is Taken Suddenly
Sick Expiring In Few Hours.
KANSAS CITT, Feb. 22. Clay Ciement,
actor, dramatist and writer of short
stories, died at the University Hospital
here at 10:50 yesterday morning of
uraemic poisoning. ,
Mr. Clement finished a week's engage
ment at a local theater Saturday night.
He had not been feeling well, and de
cided to remain here over Sunday. Dur
ing the night it was found necessary to
call a physician to the actor's apartments
at a hotel. He grew worse rapidly, and
early today was seized with convulsions.
He then was hurried to the hospital,
where the convulsions continued. Soon
he became unconscious, and died 20 min
utes later.
The actor's wife was with him con
stantly until a half hour before her hus
band died. Then Dr. Beedle" insisted that
she go to a hotel for a rest. She was
asleep in the hotel when the end came,
and was prostrated with grief when in
formed of her husband's death.
Mr. Clement and his -wife had been
estranged for some time, it is said, until
about two weeks ago, when a reconcili
ation took place.
The actor was engaged ifi writing three
new plays when he died.
Up to two years ago few actors
were more familiar to Portland theater-goers
than Clay Clement. He first
came here about 10 years ago and
played leading roles in stock with the
old John F. Cordray Stock Company.
With Li. R. Stockwell he brought a
stock company of his own to Portland
which was successful for a season. He
came here many times afterward with
traveling companies, his last appear
ance being two years ago, just prior
to the Marquam being changed to the
Orpheum. Later Mr. Clement organ
ized a small company and toured the
Pacific Northwest.
In addition to being an actor,, he
was. . also accounted a good stage di
rector, manager and a playwright of
no little fame. "The New Dominion"
was his most successful Rjay, and
probably in the role of the German
Baron in it he reached the highest
point of 'his career. - It was accorded
a big-success, and is still being played
by stock companies. His latest play,
"Sam Houston," founded on some of
the stirring and romantic incidents in
the life of the Texas hero of that
name, the only president of the Texas
Republic, was not a success. It was
elaborately staged In New York, but
failed to win popular approval.
Mr. Clement was born in Woodford
County, Illinois, December 31, 1863.
He was graduated from the University
of Chicago, afterward taking: up the
study of law in Chicago. He made his
stage debut in 1S84. His mother, a
Mrs. Johnson, lives in a Portland sub

JUDGE KEXXAX AGREES TO
HEAR CASE IX SPOKANE.
Ex-Railroad Attorney Is Expected to
Appear In Court Wednesday to
Plead to Charges.
SPOKANE. Wash., Feb. 22 (Special.)
After months of delay and correspond
ence with Governor Hay, in an effort to
select a Judge outside of Spokane County
to try the embezzlement cases under
which Judge M. J. Gordon was Indicted
by the grand jury last year. Judge Henry
Li. Kennan this afternoon announced from
the .bench that he had decided to try the
charges against the ex-railroad attor
ney, himself.
Gordon was represented by counsel in
court this afternoon, when motions were
made by the defense to quash six indict
ments charging embezzlement. The mo
tions were made on the ground that the
state had failed to begin prosecution of
the cases within 60 days after the indict
ments were returned. On. a showing of
the prosecution, however, that the delay
was caused because the court, by previous
agreement, had not passed on motions
submitted to it, the motion was denied.
Judge Gordon, it was announced by the
defense, would appear in Judge Kennan's
department of the Superior Court Wed
nesday morning to plead to the charges
against him. It is expected that the cases
will be set by the court to be heard early
in March.
The motion of the defense today was
made to preserve the records in the case,
counsel admitting that he did not expect
the court to act favorably.

Senator Says He Can Run
Government $300,000,000
Cheaper Than Now.
URGE REFORM COMMISSION
Plan Is Broached in Senate Speech
In Answering Dolliver Dupli- "
cations Cited Money, '.Carter,
Brlstow Are Against Plan.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 23. Senator Ald
jrfch said yesterday that if permitted to
do so he would undertake to run the
Government of the United States for
$300,000,000 a year less than 'it now
costs. ,
He was not presenting a formal pro
posal, but was making a" speech . in
the Senate on the question of creating
a commission to reform the business
methods of the Government.
He said the methods were obsolete
and invol'-ed the annual loss of at
least $100,000,006. At his instance the
bill was so amended as to provide that
the commission should be composed
entirely of members of Congress five
Senators and five Representatives.
Mr. Aldrich spoke in reply to Sen
ator Dolliver, who opposed the bill on
the ground that it would create sus
picion in the minds of the public as
to the methods of conducting' the Gov
ernment's business,
Mr. Dolliver said he feared the com
mission would accomplish no good, but
much evil. He regarded the bill as
a proposal to enter upon a "blanket
disparagement of the Government." He
declared the commission would cost not
less than $300,000, and he said he
thought there were too many commit
tees already.
"I know that the Executive depart
ments are taking much interest In us
these days," he said. "We have fallen
on times when much interest is taken
by the departments in the details of
legislation, but I do not know whether
the object of the pending bill is retalia
tion or reciprocity."
Mr. Aldrich said he did not desire to
serve on the proposed commission. He
spoke at length- of the duplication of the
work of the various departments. He
did not doifbt that 10 per cent of the pres
ent expenditures could be saved by a
commission.
Mr. Money regarded as most serious
Mr. Aldrich's admission that $300,000,000 a
year was being wasted. He agreed that
there should be a commission, but he did
not believe it should be composed of
members of Congress, for ho had little
faith in mixed commissions.

Scott, Too, Opposes Sending Army
Tents to Confederate Reunion.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 22. Like Senator
Heyburn, Representative Scott, of Kan
sas, objected to the proposition of the
Government rending a number of Army
tents for the.. Confederate Veterans re
union at Mobile in April.
The measure, following favorable action
upon it by the House committee on mili
tary affairs, reached the "unanimous con
sent" calendar and when an effort was
mads to obtain consideration for it today
in the House,' Mr. Scott objected and it
went over until Wednesday, when It will
be brought up in regular order.
Mr. Scott said his objection was due to
the attitude of his constituents who were
opposed to it. It is known that the G. A.
R. is very strong in Mr. Scott's district.

TRADE IS STIFLED,
ARGUES LAWYER
Coal Trust Is Put on Trial in
Federal Court in Phila
delphia. INJUNCTION IS PRAYED FOR
Monopoly of Carrying Trade From
Mines to Seaboard Is- Assailed by
Prosecution Who Speaks for
Five Hours in Court.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23. Standing
In the United States Circuit five hours
today, James C. McReynolds, special
asiRtant to the United States Attorney
Oeneral, unfolded the alleged iniquities
of the eo-called anthracite coal trust
and charged that seven of the nine
coal-carrying- railroads entering the
hard coal fields of Pennsylvania are
In a conspiracy to stifle trade.
On behalf of the Government he
asked the court to Issue an injunction
to break up the alleged monopolistic
control of fuel and also pleaded that the
acquisitions by some of the railroads
of stock in competing railroad and coal
companies be declared in violation of
the Sherman anti-trust law.
Mr. McReynolds laid great stress
upon the part the Temple Iron Com
pany has 'played in the coalfields, de
claring that Its organization clearly
showed a conspiracy among the coal
roads to control the anthracite trade to
tidewater at New York.
When Independent mining companies,
tiring of high freight rates, proposed
building an independent railroad to
New YorkGovernroent counsel said the
Temple Iron Company, a small concern
with a limitless charter In Pensylvania,
was purchased by the anthracite coal
carrying roads, they taking stock in
proportion to the quantity of coal
handled by them. The Temple Com
pany in turn acquired the largest of
the independent mines and the proposed
railroad to tidewater was never built.
This act, Mr. McReynolds said, was one
step in the alleged soheme to stifle in
terstate commerce in the coal trade.
He also told of the acquisition by the
Reading Company, a holding concern,
of the Reading Railway and of the ac
quisition by the Reading Company of
the Jersey Central Railway, a compet
ing line to New York Harbor, which, in
turn, owned the Lehigh & Wiikesbarre
Coal Company. This Reading-Jersey
Central combination, he said, owned 63
per cent of the unmined coal In the an
thracite regions, and Its formation was
another step In the conspiracy. Mr.
McReynolds will conclude his argument
tomorrow.
Prosecution of the coal trust was be
gun under the Roosevelt administra
tion. '
MR. CUNNINGHAM HERE
DISCOVERER OP ALASKA COAL
TELLS HOW HE DID IT.
Refusing to Discuss Balllnger In
quiry, Alaska Pioneer Re
lates Adventures.
Clarence Cunningham, discoverer of
the coal lands in Alaska, which precipi
tated the charges now being investi
gated by a Congressional committee,
spent a few nours in Portland last
night en route to Seattle.
As mild-mannered a man as ever was,
Mr. Cunningham talked freely of every
thing in the world but the Investiga
tion of the charges preferred by Glavls
against Secretary of the Interior Bal
llnger. "I do not understand that the lo
cators of the so-called Cunningham
claims are being investigated at this J
time," said Mr. Cunningham. "We y
Congressional committee is dealing H
solely with an attack upon air. Hal
linger. I have not been served with
a summons to appear before the com
mittee, nor have any of the locators of
the coal lands. Should we be asked to
appear, I personally would wish to
await the return of my attorney, who
is now in Europe.
"We have had our troubles with the
Interior Department, and most of the
locators testified hefore the Commis
sioner at Seattle nd Spokane. I am
expecting to give my evidence when
asked to appear.
"It la probable- tint wh&a tha time

comes GlavSs may fall from his high
position as 'the conservator of the pub
He interests, and the tag which he
pinned to himself labeled "the only
honest American' may have to be di
vided among a few others. Some day
the people will know the whole story.
I can't talk about it until that time
comes."
Mr. Cunningham told the story of
how he became interested in the Alaska
coal fields, how he had suffered ship
wreck when the Oregon and the Ohio
went down, and of the tortures of a
night spent at sea in an open boat
while traveling to and from the coal
discoveries.
"A brother .of mine first Invested In
a grubstake -'to a bunko steerer, who
reported finding the coal and returned
with samples of coal and oil. He had
secured about $1200 from my family
before I heard of it. I then went in to
Investigate the matter myself and after
being guided in the wrong direction by
our prospector and in every manner ob
structed, I gained.-a confession that the
man had never seen the great veins
which he described. Getting rid of
him I pushed In with Indians and found
the coal lands as the same Indians had
described them to the man who was
pretending to have made the discov
eries. Others Joined me In an attempt
to locate and develop a coal supply
which is available to the Pacific Coast.
ThatWs the whole story."
On one of his trips the party was
blown out to sea and passed 24 hours
in a struggle for life. "I never bailed
as much water before in my life," said
Mr. Cunningham, "and the next day the
wind shifted and blew us back to
land."
The Alaska coal baron was in con
sultation last night with ex-Governor
Miles C. Moore, who is en route to
California for hia health. Tlie ex-Governor
is largely Interested in the coal
fields.
