After Discontinuance.
ST. PAIL. Oct. I!. In the United
Flute, circuit Court here todar P- F.
I'unne. general counsel of the Southern
Pacific Railroad, concluded his argu
ment on behalf of the railroads In the
Government's suit to dissolve the mer
ger of the Southern Pacific and Union
Pacific Railroads. Mr. lunne's argu
ment today was devoted to percentages
of revenues and tonnage and was large
ly technical, lie contended that the
Portland route except for common
points was an Impossible and wholly
Illogical route. Speaking" of lumber. u
said It entered largely Into the case
In connection with the alleged closing
of the Rosevlile gateway and the
opening of the Portland gateway to
the business of the Willamette Valley.
Portland Gateway Opened.
For the reason that traffic will fol
low the course of the least reslstence."
he said, "the Kosevllle gateway waa
closed, not because there was any act
lve competition. The expenses of op
eration were such that the sum
of the locals on through retina- would
have closed the Oregon gateway "o
if. Vnlon Pacific and for thla reason
ir-t Rctevllle gateway was closed In
!". and the Portland gateway reached
ever the s:ort IJne was opened."
Judge Dunne treated Ironically at
times the Oriental busln i aj bandied
frem Portland and Its relation to the
Oriental business from San Kranclsco.
Asiatic Business Belittled.
"The bulk of the A.atlc busineM
moved through the Port of Portland was
rot great. he said. "Such aa moved
cast a rd over the I'nlon Pacific waa a
mere Incident to the local traffic out
bound for the Orient.
"T! whrat and flour of Eastern Ore
gon and Washington. If there had been
ro ship service out of Portland, would
lsve been handled by the Northern Pa
cific and Ureal Northern from points
common to them with the O. It. 4 N.
to the Pugrt Sound ports, where vessels
are plenty. The navigation company,
controlled by the Union Pacific, would
lave lost this trslTlc entirely.
"Or If t! point of tonnage origin had
hen iovnl to the navigation company It
would lave been short hauled to the
r-r junction with the Northern lines
and tlence lo Pugrt Sound.
Oregon Outlet lemanded.
"If the wheat had been manufactured
at Interior points, the result would have
been the same. Ongun wheat and flour
niaml-d an Oregon outlet by water to
tie orient or the Portland mills would
l av l;ud to shut down. It was to take
tare of tl.is basintn Hat the Union Pa
uric established Us boat line 10 China and
Japan.'
After citing that the line had been a
failure in the hands of several manage
ment and was aluaya operated at a loss.
Mr. Dur.ne continued:
"The saltings from San Francisco were
more frequent and more satisfactory
than from Portland.
"The Union Pacific did the greater
part of Us business and practically
all of the transcontinental business
through San Kranclsco. The principal
business of the Union Pacific vessels
waa such as they picked up In the
Orient for west-bound , shipment
some local, some transcontinental.
Business Handled Co-operatively.
"It Is plain that the Portland-Oriental
shipments, never satUfaxtorv,
were discontinued for economic rea
- sons and the business, handled co
operatively, it was better that the
Oriental tonnage should pass through
entirely satisfactory channels of trans
portation to San Francisco than that
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern should monopolize It entirely."
Speaking of the Southern Pacific
purchase of nock In the Northern Pa
cific and Santa Fe, Judge Dunne made
the only distinct allusion In the trial
to the Hill-Harrtman fight of a few
years ago.
"I am not here to cast any asper
sions upon Mr. Hill," he said. "I have
no doubt that with the lapse of tims
and the death of one. the old bitter
ness is stilled, but at the time to which
1 refer It waa keen and poignant- It
waa only to give a color to this case
that these two roads were brought In
at alL"

"Jackpotters" In Ilinols Legislative
Scandal Attacked Wilh Old-Time
Vigor Condoners of. In
lqulty Are Infamous.
PEORIA. Ill, Oct. 12. Ex-President
Roosevelt came up from the South Into
Illinois today, denounced corrupt Leg
islatures and commended the work
which the Roman Catholic Church Is
doing.
Leaving ft. Louis early, he traveled
across the southern end of Illinois,
speaking at several places on the way.
In Peoria he waa the guest of the
Knights of Columbus, to whom he made
a speech at a dinner tonight.
It was Colonel Roosevelt's first pub
lic utterances to Roman Catholics
since the Vatican Incident last Spring.
He said that he favored the broadest
measure of religious toleration.
Illinois Bribers Denounced.
In a brief speech to the crowd at
the railway station in Springfield, Col
onel Roosevelt made what was con
strued as a reference to the allegations
of corruption in the Illinois Legislature.
Hardly had be begun to speak when
a man In the crowd called out:
"Give It to the Jackpotters, Colonel."
The others In the crowd, to whom
the expression had become familiar,
since the confession of members of the
Illinois Legislature that they had
shared in a corruption fund which was
called "Jackpot." applauded.
Colonel Roosevelt took It up and at
tacked the men involved In the legis
lative scandal as vigorously as he did
in his speech last month at the Hamil
ton Club banquet In Chicago, from
which Senator Lorlmer was excluded
after the Colonel had refused to at
tend the dinner unless the Invitation
to the Senator was withdrawn.
Briber Is Traitor.
"Good, my friends! I am glad to hear
you say that." he said. "No man who
Is worth his salt will have anything
to do with any one of the creatures who
were tainted In that scandal. The most
Important thing, before us as a people.
Is to drive from public life the corrup
tion, the bribe-taker, the bribe-giver.
The men whom you speak of as Jack
potters are traitors of the basest kind
and It Is Infamous In any one to con
done their Iniquity or to support them
and stand behind them, directly or In
directly. "The presence In public life of aueh
men Is a shame and a scandal and I do
not care a rap whether they belong to
my party or to some other party. I
hold It my duty to be equaly hostile
to them In either event"
When Colonel Roosevelt arrived In
Peoria he went to the Country Club
for luncheon, then visited the home of

House of Delegates Adopts Resolu

Emanuel Movement Stirs.
. CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 12. (Special.)
By a vote which might be called
unanimous In ths ordinary sense of
the word, but whleh was not unanimous
because several ministers and laymen
refused to vote the way the majority
did, the Protestant Episcopal house of
deputies here this afternoon refused to
abide by the statement made from the
platform In Music Hall a few days ago
to the effect that the Bible is not the
word of God.
It was the Rev. A. A. Morrison, rec
tor of Trinity Church, Portland, who,
in the course of his speech before the
house of deputies, said that to con
sider the Bible as the word of Ood
was to open up the church to the crit
icism of hundreds of thousands of peo
ple, and that no thinking man today
considers the Bible in any such a light.
He was vigorous In saying that the
time has passed when the Bible is to
be taken for all it has been said to be.
Threats to Kesign Heard.
The sesslqn today which voted down
his opinion was precisely the same as
that to which he made his original
statement. The Rev. J. R. Winchester,
of Memphis. Tenn., told the gathering
In the course of his speech that if the
house of deputies did not vote down
the opinion as expressed by Dr. Mor
rison, he would resign from his rector
ship and from the church. He offered
a resolution with this ending:
"Resolved, That this house place
Itself ion record as accepting the fact
that the Holy Scripture as accepted by
this church Is without doubt the word
of Almighty God."
Dr. Morrison said nothing in opposi
tion to the resolution; in fact, he did
not speak at all. Rev. John Williams, of
Omaha, said it was but common morality
to pass this resolution, and indorsed It.
Several other ministers spoke on the
matter, and all indorsed the resolution,
when It came to a. vote. It passed.
Dr. Morrison, when asked by the rep
resentative of The Oregonian how he
voted, replied: "I do not care to answer
that question at this time."
This was all he would say.
The House of Bishops this afternoon
not only reversed its decision of a few
days ago when it refused to pass an
amendment to the Constitution of the
Church providing for suffragan bishops,
but, shortly after creating the. new suf
fragan bishops, passed a resolution call
ing for a committee to investigate faith
healing by means of prayer or sugges
tion. The question of suffragan bishops
came before the house of btehops last

DECISION GOES INTO DETAIL
Protest of Harry Wolverton Over
Games In Which Hetling Played
Holds on Ground Spokane
Contract Was Good.
BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 12. (Special.)
Judge Tnomas F. Graham, president
of the Pacific Coast League, today ren
dered his decision, in which he sus
tained the protest of the Oakland club
against the playing of Gus Hetling
with Portland and declared the three
games in question of September 28, 29
and 30 forfeited to the Commuters.
This decision, with the subsequent
change in the games won and lost,
gives' Oakland a slight lead in the
pennant race, although it is so small
that the clubs can be said, practically
speaking, to be tied.
Pitchers' Averages Change.
In addition to changing the standing
of the clubs, it will also affect the
pitchers' averages.
Krapp pitched two of the protested
games and will now be charged in the
official averages with two defeats.
Steen and Seaton pitched the other and
Steen, as the first pitcher, will be
charged with the defeat.
Many of the fans with whom the
writer has talked relative to the de
cision admit that they dislike the idea
of forfeiting games, but say they can
not see where Judge Graham could
have ruled otherwise.
The decision by Judge Graham, con
sisting of some 1000 words, is type
written and goes fully into the facts
as they have been presented to him,
also citing reasons for declaring Het
ling an ineligible player.
Details Are Covered
The Judge first of al cites the pro
test as entered by Wolverton, the Oak
land manager. He then quotes from
the rules of the National Association,
In which players are prohibited from
joining and club for the purpose of
participating In championship games
after the close of the season of the
league to which they are under re
serve, the penalty being the forfeiture
of such games.
He goes on to state that there is no
question but that Hetling signed a
contract with Spokane and played ball
with that club during the champion
ship series.
The defense of Judge McCredie is
given in the decision to the effect that
Hetling had been with the Portland
team during the season and that Port
land had no knowledge of the player
signing with Spokane.
Graham Sees Xo Alternative.
The president of the Coast League
adds that Portland knew that Hetling
had participated in games in, the
Coast League and that he doea
not believe that Hetling would
have laid himself open to black
list by signing with Spokane while
still under reserve to Portland. ' The
league executive deplores the necessity
of declaring the games forfeited, but
admits that under his view there Is
no other way of looking at the case.
For that reason he holds that all three
trames must be considered in the "win" .
column of Oakland.
The decision, as might be expected,
ha eenerallv been approved so far
as the San Francisco public and the
newspapers are concerned. the press
nf Son Francisco has with one accord
stated that Judge Graham has taken
the right view of the situation.
A majority of the baseball writers
have acknowledged that the fans ab
hor the forfeiture of games, but they
add that if organized baseball is to De .
nnlielil the rules must be obeyed.
Naturally the press of Oakland says
that the decision was expected and tna.
there was nothing else for Graham to
do.
Portland Had Time, Graham Says.
Renlvine to W. W. McCredie's state
ment that he was not fairly treated
and that he was rushed in the matter
of sending in his evidence, Judge Gra
ham says that the Portland club had
plenty of warning and ample time to
file Its defense.
"My duty lay plainly before me," said
Judge Graham today, "and I rendered
my decision in line with that duty. Mc
Credie may appeal and I expected that
he would appeal. But I expected that
he would appeal to the higher court of
baseball and not resort to abuse to
bolster up his case.
"Further than this I have nothing to
say. McCredie has chosen his wea
pons. ' I have none. My decision
stands until it is reversed. If it be
reversed. I would be the first to con
cede my error. McCredie certainly
cannot plead that he was not warned
of the Impending decision and the tn
