INJUNCTION HEADED OFF Three Months Ix-Iay Seeded to Get Data Better Than indefinite De lay Which Would Follow Court Proceedings. ORBGOXIAN XEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. June 30. There -will be a confer ence at Chicago July 11. between the In terstate Commerce Commission and rep resentatives of the railroad affected by yesterday's decision in the Spokane case and the Pacific Coasrt distributive rate cases', for the purpose of arranging for carrying out that part of the Commis sion's order requiring the railroads for a period, of three months to furnish an ac curate account showing the difference between receipts upon traffic actually moved under the present rates and. what those receipts would have been on the same traffic had the proposed reduced rates been in effect. The Commission wants to ascertain before making an order whether its pro posed reductions are reasonable, or whether they are so great as to deny the roads a fair return upon their in vestment. This can be ascertained after comparison of actual and theoretical rates for three months. If it is found that the reductions sug gested are too great and likely to be overturned by the courte, the Commission will modify its figures .before directing that the reductions be put into effect, but on the other hand, if the reductions' prove to be reasonable, as the Commission be lieves they will, an order will be issued on or about October 1 directing such re ductions as outlined in yesterday's deci sion, namely. 20 per cent on all distribu tive rates from coast points, and various reductions running from 1 to 30 per cent on rates to Spokane. The Commission adopted this experi mental plan in order to avoid the long delay which might have enmied had It ordered the rates reduced immediately, and given the railroads an opportunity to obtain an injunction from the courts. It felt, in view of the vast territory and the numerous interests affected, it had better 5iave a preliminary delay of three months than an indefinite delay resulting from court procedure. RATE CHANGES ARE UPHELD Commerce Commission Approves New Classification in East. WASHINGTON. June 30. Announce ment was made by the Interstate Com merce Commission today that it would not suspend official classification No. 36, involving over 6000 items, which was filed to become effective July 1. This declination to act is regarded as a- victory for the railroads. r or nearly a monin, ine commission has been overwhelmed with protests against the proposed new classification of freight, many shippers seeming to entertain the idea that the rearrange ment would result In largely- increased rates. The subject was considered carefully by the commission. In the 6000 items and ratings Involved, there are only 58 changes, of which 28 are reductions and 30 advances. In a statement issued today the commission says: "The principal increases are the car load minimum of horse vehicles from 10,000 to 11,000 pounds, and an advance in the classification of automobiles from first class to 110 per cent of first class, and the commission is not satisfied that these items should be suspended. This ruling, however, will not prevent or delay the hearing of any complaint which has been made or may be maJ-3 against the reasonableness of these or any other increases affected by the new classification. "Official classification territory In cludes all that part of the United State north of the Potomac and Ohio Rivers and east of the Mississippi River. -It Ukes in the cities of St. Louis and Chicago." Permission was granted by the- Com mission to the railroads operating out of Buffalo to advance their rates on flour and other wheat products 1 cent a hun dred pounds to Eastern destinations. Freights on lumber and forest prod ucts, from Omaha to points in Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska were reduced by the Commission. The reduction ranges from cent to i cents a hundred pounds, the average being approximately a cent and a half a hundred pounds. The new rates were ordered to become effective on September 1 next. STRANGERS TO BANFIELD Did Not Say Men Shot at Near House Were Strikers. . In explaining the details of the dis turbance at his home the night before, M. C. Banfield said yesterday that he had no Idea regarding the Identity of the men who wer shot at by his friend as they approached his house with kindling wood. "As to my having enemies among the strikers I do not know why there should be any." he said. "I am only trying to fulfill the duties of the office to which I was elected, namely, trying to uphold the principles of the 'open shop.' " " Mr. Banfield' said that when the three men approached his house with the kindling- wood a little before 12 o'clock Wednesday night, a friend of his saw them and called to them to stop. The men dropped their wood and turned to run, when Mr. Banfleld's friend shot four times at them. It was noticed that one of them did not run as fast after the shooting as before, and that he cried aloud with apparent agony. The man who did the shoot ing ran around and met them later, when they rolled down the side of Jefferson-street canyon to escape him. Mr. Banfleld's home, where the Inci dent took place, is at 692 Vista avenue. Mr. Banfield was quoted in an even ing paper yesterday as saying that he believed the men who approached his house were striking teamsters, but last night he emphatically denied having expressed such an opinion.

McCumber is accorded a majority of from 4000 to 7000, and it may even be less than that. Gronna, for 'the short term, seems to have carried every county in the state, with only a few exceptions, where Engerud ' was blefesed with a wide professional acquaintance. For Congress, L. B.

LONDON", June 30. (Spsclal.) Here are some Interesting comparisons and observations by. a keen Japanese ob server. Just now traveling in England, after a long trip, through the United States. Motosaku Tsuchlya Is one of the foremost Japanese students of world-wide social and political ques tions. He is conducting a party of 57 prominent business men of his country round the world. Tsuchlya is diplomatic and close- mouthed, as becomes a gentleman from the Land of the Rising Sun. Thus he was wary on all questions wherein there was a hint of comparison with England; but by dint of pressure he was drawn into discussion of the coun tries between whiles. "We all liked the United States." he said. "I think what Impressed us most was, not the hustle and bustle, but the size and immense scale of everything. Especially was that true of New York, where the big buildings were a real surprise to us, despite the fact that we had been prepared for them, in a measure. London Trade on Quiet. "The grand scale upon which every thing is conceived in New York had the effect of making our party believe that more business is done in the American metropolis than in London. Perhaps; it is not so perhaps statistics will not bear us out but I am telling you the Impression it made upon us. London is more like our large cities of Japan, where business is done auietly. "Which method is the better? That Is difficult to say. We liked the Ameri can method and probably will apply many of the 'tricks of trade' which we learned there when we return to Ja- Dan. ' "I will tell you something about which we know a great deal. The ho tels In the United States are far su perior to the hotels In England. Es- Declallv Is this true of the hygienic ar rangements. In most of the hotels where we stopped in the United States, each member of our party had a bath attached to his -room. Such a conven ience is almost impossible here, except In a few establishments. "The English hotels have one . ad vantasre over the American, however. They are much quieter. No matter how noisy the street without may be, when you come Into a London hotel there is a restful atmosphere about it that is verv desirable. In the American no tels. no matter where you go, there is a rush and a hurry that makes it al most as bad as the street. It expresses my idea when I say that In the English hotels you feel at home; In the Amen can you cannot. ' American "Rush" Impresses. "Although the top-speed with which the business of life is carried on in the United States did not astonish us, we were impressed by it. This probably was due to the quiet atmosphere of the Japanese cities. At some hours of the day in our large cities not a single per son is to be seen in the principal streets. Imagine coming from such sur roundings to San Francisco, Portland, Chicago and New York. The latter city impressed us by its size much more than London. London is spread out over an Immense amount of territory, but it is the kind of growth to which we are accustomed in Japan. For in stance, Tokio is spread out in the same way. New York, by its big bridges and big buildings, its hurry and rush and the concentration of hundreds of thous ands of people within a small area dur lng the business hours, compelled our attention and astonishment." Comment on newspaper work In Ja pan, compared with American condl tions. was then under way. "The press of Japan has been greatly influenced by that of the United States," said Tsuchlya. "We are in clined to be what you call 'yellow," but t believe a reaction has set In and that the next few years will see a return to more sober standards. Already there are signs of this. The party of which Tsuchlya. Is the pilot came to London to see the Japan British Exhibition at Shepherds Bush. which has been widely advertised In Japan. He does not hesitate to declare that he and his friends are Intensely disappointed by the poor showing made by the British concerns. He says that better exhibits are to be seen in the cities of Japan dally, without the in convenience and expense of a trip round the world.
