Whether Railroad Commis
son's New Tariff Is Reason
able to Be Decided.
QUESTION LAW'S VALIDITY
Attorneys for llarrlmaa Lines Pre
sent Voluminous Petition, Seek
Jug to PreTent Enforcement
of Schedule Today.
Judge "Wolverton. of the Federal
Court, yesterday Issued .a temporary
restraining order to prevent the Stat
Itntlroa.I Commission freight rates, or
dered effective today, from being; en
forced till the merits of the reduction
stipulated by the order and the con
stitutionality of the act of the -Legislature
creating the Commission and
Hiving It Its powers are settled In
court. The hearing on the temporary
writ will be held November 7.
The application lor the Injunction
was filed by W. D. Kenton. B. C. Day
aad J. E- Kenton, attorneys on behalf
of the Southern Pacific Company and
the Oregon California Railroad Com
pany. Thomas K. Campbell. Clyde B.
Aitchison and Oswald West. State
Railroad Commissioners, and the Com
mission as a body, are named as re
spondents. Petition Is Voluminous.
The petition Is a voluminous affair
and goes into all 'the details pertaln
tnr to transportation on the Harrlman
lines In and out of the State of Oregon,
the organization of the Oregon State
Rallicad Commission and Its order Is
sued September 21. effective today,
which means a cut of 13 to 25 per cent
In freight rates on IS classes of freight
In rarload and less than carload rates.
While the petition questions the val
idity of the law authorizing the State
Railroad Commission' and giving it
power, to enforce rates of Its making.
the principal Issue raised Is the ques
tion of reasonableness of the rates
proposed In the commission schedule.
Validity of Law Questioned.
-We question the validity of the
law." said Attorney Kenton. Tester
day. "but ths particular point that will
be presented to the court Is whether
or not the rates proposed by the com
mission are reasonable. If the rates
obtain, it will mean a loss of $300,000
a year to the Southern Pacific. Its
branches and connecting lines In Ore
gon. Present rates have been long
standing and no complaint has been
made except by Jobbers. The shippers
have made no complaint. The Commis
sion has evidently yielded to the de
mands of the jobbers and Is attempt
ing to force us to make up a great
loss by Increasing rates to shippers.
such as apple growers and other pro
ducers of the state. We have sharp
competition In Oregon. There la water
transportation from San Francisco. The
Willamette and Columbia rivers and
the electric railways afford competi
tion. The proposed reduction simply
means that the Jobbers have the ad
vantage of the competition and a
chance to make big profits themselves.
They are the only ones who will be
benefited.
Upbuilding of State Aim.
"We are not Inclined to Increase the
rate for shippers, the producers of
Oregon, for we want to build up the
state, but this Is Just what the Rail
road Commission proposes to force us
to do to offset the loss that would be
Incurred If Its rates obtain.
"If we are compelled to lose money
In one line of business, the loss must
be made up In another. This Is a well
defined principle of business. How
ever, we are relying upon our ability
to show the court that' the proposed
rates are unreasonable. that Jobbers
and wholesalers have built up great
establishments under present rates,
and that the shippers have also made
money but are not protesting against
their rates.
"We do not want to make up a de
ficiency out of the products of the
soil, for they are the foundation of
the prosperity of the state. This Is the
point and we shall fight the proposed
rates on merit."
WALLA WALLA MAKES FIGHT
Readjustment of Distributing Freight
Rates Is AketL
WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Oct. 1-
(Special.) Walla Walla will make a
fight for a readjustment of the local
distributing freight rates, necessity for
which has arisen from the successful
termination of the Spokane rate case
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. The transportation committee of the
I'ommerclal Club met tonight to take
up the matter and decided to file at
once an lntervenor In the Seattle-Ta-coma
rase before the State Commerce
Commission, now pending. Further de
tails of the' action to be taken were
left until tomorrow, when the commit
tee will meet again.
I'nder present conditions the freight
distributing rates are almost prohib
itive for Jobbers in this city. Conse
quently, they will ask the State Com
merce Commission for a reduction of
from 14 to 20 per cent. Seattle and
Tacoma began a case to this end Im
mediately upon the announcing of the
decision of the Spokane rase last
Spring and as this will be decided next
month. Walla Walla will Intervene to
get the benefit, if possible, or the early
action.
It Is said that If tue rates were left
as they are now. Sound cities would
have better distributing rates around
Walla Walla than has this city.

WALLA WALLA ASKS RATE
Separate Suit to Be Filed to Estab
lish Distributive Rule.
WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Oct. 12.
(Special.) Disregarding the advice of
the State Commerce Commission, the
transportation committee of the Walla
Walla Commercial Club today decided
to file a separate suit In the local dis
tributing freight rate case. Instead of
filing an lntervenor in the Seattle
Tacoma case, as was planned.
The reason is that the two cases are
dissimilar and a decision affecting that
of the Sound cities vaould not apply to
Walla Walla at all. Walla Walla will
ask for a 20 per cent reduction of the
distributing rates.
The committee of the Commercial
Club will at once retain an attorney.
The reduction asked for, it will be con
tended, is made necessary by the suc
cessful termination of the Epokane rate
case, which upsets local conditions,
making Jobbing from this 'city almost
Impossible under present conditions.
In Short Visit Cabinet Officer Sajs
Coast Hnrbors Are Inadequate,
Barring Oat Battleships.
Reserve Craft Promised.
Admitting that the Pacific Coast is
entitled to recognition In Its demands
for better fortification of its harbors.
Secretary of the Navy M-yer, who passed
through Portland last eight on his way
to San Francisco and Los Angeles, left
the Impression that the Navy Depart
ment was not disposed at the present
time -to maintain a battleship fleet on
the Pacific Coast.
The Secretary's presence In the West
is for the purpose of looking into condi
tions and outlining a plan for a proper
Coast defense. Until this work -la com
pleted, he will be unable to announce
the nature of his recommendations.
Coast Harbors Inadequate
One of the reasons why the Govern
ment cannot maintain a fleet here now
le, according to the Secretary, that the
present harbor accommodations are en
tirely inadequate not only on Puget
Sound, but also at San Francisco and on
the Columbia River.
"Until a great amount of work Is done
at all of these points, we cannot assign
any of our large battleships to this
Coast," enld Mr. Meyer. "Furthermore,
we cannot divide the Atlantic fleet at
this time."
Another object of his visjt was to
establish a uniform system of book
keeping In the Pacific Navy-yards,
similar to that which has been adopted
on the Atlantic Coast.
Greeted by Only One.
The Shasta Limited, bearing the Sec
retary, arrived In Portland half an hour
late last evening. No delegation from
the Portland Commercial Club or of any
of the other organizations) was at the
depot to greet him. George 9. Shepherd,
of the Oregon Naval Reserve, was the
only citizen of Portland to be on hand
but on account of the limited stop of
the train, Mr. Shepherd was able to
gain but a short audience with Mr.
Meyer.
Tl Secretary promised Mr. Shepherd
that he would look Into the matter of
assigning a training ship to Portland
for the Oregon Naval Reserve. He aaid
he will Inspect the gunboat Alert now
at San Francisco and If It Is found that
the boat can be repaired to advantage,
he said that vessel may be sent here
for use of the reserve.
Prsldont Beckwlth, of the Commercial
Club, in explanation why a committee of
citizens was not appointed to meet Mr.
Meyer, said that the Secretary's attitude
In not acknowledging the city's Invita
tion to visit here until the eleventh lv(ur
and then declaring that he would not have
the time, was a direct insult to the In
telligence of the people of Oregon:
Secretary Angers Beckwlth. .
'Just why Mr. Meyer could have plenty
of time to spend on -Puget Sound, then
pass up Portland altogether seems
queer to me," said Mr. Beckwlth. "We
have here the only fresh-water harbor
on the Pacific Coast. I think that fact
alone should have been of sufficient Im
portance to the Secretary. I understand
that Mr. Meyer is to pay a visit to Los
Angeles; a town situated 30 miles from

dark streets and alleys last night Pa
trolman Yost was turned upon suddenly
by the fugitive, who pressed a large auto
matic revolver to his side, his fln'ger
ready to press the trigger, and commit
murder rather than submit to arrest.
Quick as a flash the policeman grabbed
the thug by the wrist, and turning the
pistol downward, managed to wrest it

Mr. Ungar who was at work In the
store balcony. Ungar hurled a pair of
shears at the thief, who bolted with his
plunder and then gave pursuit yelling
for help as he fled. He was soon Joined
by a crowd. In the midst of which were
Patrolman Martine and Yost, who ran
after the fugitive at the first outcry.
Patrolman Yost, more fleet than the rest,
overtook the robber as recounted.

as Harry Simpson. He is held on four
