Rerlnnins Its session In Portlsnd yes terday the United States Interstate Com merce Commission, represented by Ex aminer Push, was engaged in the task of determining when a peanut roaster Is knocked down for shipment. It was me serious contention of the Pacific Coast Rlscult Company that the removal oi tne wheels snd whistle and the separate crating of the parts designed for roast ing peanuts and popping com entitled the company to the very lowest railroad rates provided by the schedules of tar iffs for this coast. With eaual gravity. A. C. Spencer asked Examiner Push to cause all su perstructures and underpinning to be re moved and then that the machines should he dismembered before the cheaper rate should be applied and the plaintlffa be entitled to secure an order tor ins re fund of the difference In rates charged for transportation of the purveyor of children's delights in its various conditions. Three peanut roasters were introduced In the United States courtrooms ss ex hibits and from time to time some dis tinguished member of the bar would stroll over snd gravely examine the mechanism. In the afternoon the aame litigants took evidence on the shipping rate which should be charged on tissue paper. The Southern Pacific Company la the defendant In both of the actions heard yestorday. Today the O. R. A N. Co. will have an Inning with eome of Its pa trons who seek to recover overcharges on freight shipments. Among the distinguished experts who have appeared at the hearing are A. B. Cate. of Seattle, president of the Trans continental Inspection Bureau. Mr. Cate Isf an authority on all frehtht schedules snd Is used by attorneys on both sides of the cases, his evidence being given weight because of being absolutely Im partial.

STEVENS BACK Head of Hill System Looks Over Local Situation. COUNCIL'S ACT DISPLEASES If Cars of Interurban System Are Forced to Stop at Every Street Intersection, Fast Time Will Be Out of Question. After spending several weeks in con ference with Eastern officials of the Hill lines, at Chicago, John F. Stevens, presi dent of the North Bank road, returned to the city yesterday morning prepared to take up the campaign of development which has been outlined in the North west. "At present I am more than anything else concerned In the electric railway situation," said Mr. Stevens last night. "It will be a day or more until I learn just what the local situation Is." He was Informed yesterday of the ac tion of the City Council In granting the request of the petitioners to have the cars of the Oregon Electric and the United Railways stop at every street In tersection while running over the pro posed new loop defined by Front, Sal mon. Tenth and Flanders streets, and reiterated the statements In opposition to such action as already expressed by officials of the road. Tillamook Extension Awaited. "We are here to do business in the electrlo railway field," he declared, "and are eager to provide the best possible service, but we can't operate under con ditions that will practically Invalidate our franchise I have heard of the Council's action and don't think we can operate successfully under those condi tions." Mr. Stevens Is expected to make an nouncement with reference to the ex tension of the United Electric line toward Tillamook, which work has been In progress for some time. It was for the purpose of arranging to let the contracts for some of this work that he went East, It waa stated at the time he left. Other policies of extension already un dertaken by the Hill system are also pending further moves by the company, so It Is with much Interest- that the local railroad field watches any possible situation that may be presented as a result of the conference which Mr. Stevens attended. The action of the City Council In re quiring the cars on the loop to stop at all street Intersections developed dur ing Mr. Stevens' absence, and was brought about, it is understood, by the appeals of merchants and others who thus desired to secure whatever patron age would accrue from having passen gers unloaded near their respective stores. The traveling public. It is under stood, was not a party to the petition. Rapid Service Company's Aim. The company has been planning the loop service for some months and has been granted the franchise for the oper ation of the cars over these streets. The ultimate object. It Is understood, is to form a physical connection between the Oregon Electric and the United Rail ways. Officials of the company have declared that the interurban alms principally to provide rapid and easy connection be tween the several towns it serves, and that If they are required to stop their cars at every street corner this object will be defeated In the time 't takes up. his congenial associations here as the cause. Mr. Johnson returned yesterday from a trip to Seattle. Vancouver and other cities on the Sound and announced his determination to remain here. "I think Portland presents a better op portunity for the future than any other town on the Coast," he said. "Even with the knowledge that I may be re quired to stay here the rest of my life, I prefer It to any other place in the country." BOX CARS FOR AUTOS READY Great Northern Puis Ecspcclally Bullt Freights in Service. In response to demands of the local automobile trade the Great Northern re cently Installed 1000 especially-constructed freight cars for use out of Portland and other points In the North west and designed to carry heavy auto mobile shipments only. The Burlington road put 2000 similar cars into service in the Middle West. All the other roads have them as a part of their equipment. Some of the cars are constructed with open ends that the machines may be run out on their own wheels. Others have double side doors and also permit the autos to be moved without trucking. . In many Instances the automobiles are set up complete at the factory, backed Into the cars and prepared for immediate service. All that h necessary when they reach their destination is to start the engines, run the machine out on the gangplank and ride away. Railroad Offices to Bo Moved. It Is unofficially announced that the local passenger and freight office of the Pennsylvania company will be moved Into one of the ground floor rooms of the Railway Exchange building, fac ing on Third street, after the first of the year. Local offlcals of the road have been expecting this change for some time. It is expected that when the officials of the company visit Port land next week it will be officially announced. SAFE ROBBED OF $1000 BURGIiAR SEEMS TO HAVE KXOWX COMBINATION. Saloonkeeper Finds Himself Impov erished by Opening Safe Under Customers Eyes. A burglary, in which there is an un usual degree of .mystery, was reported to the police yesterday morning by Charles Rua, proprietor of a saloon and chophouse at 91 North First street. Rua says that $1000 was taken Sun day night from a safe of which only he and his wife knew the combination. He declares that he locked the safe after putting the money In it, and Mrs. Rua says that she tried the door after ward and found it securely closed. Rua says he put In the safe $500 in gold. $160 In silver and $350 In paper currency about 8 o'clock Saturday evening. When he opened the safe yesterday morning the money was gone. Search of the premises showed that someone had entered the place by using a pass-key, and evidently worked the combination of the safe, as neither It nor any fastening about the place was disturbed.

The thief tore out the light wooden partitions of the safe and carried away the metal cash boxes containing tne money, malt ing his exit as he had entered. The safe stands close to the bar, and the police believe that some person with good eyes and a deliberate in tent to rob the safe, stood at the bar at some time when Rua was opening It and noted the combination. Two saloons were broken into Sun day night by persons apparently more moved by thrist than avarice, as in both cases nothing but liquors and cigars was taken. The saloons are at 354 Glisan street ana 41 i,ast morn son street. The grocery store of T. H. Cawley, 649 Williams avenue, was broken Into, probably by boys. Nothing was missed but a smairquantity of candy and the pictures of baseball players from 49 packages of cigarettes. A prowler made an attempt upon the home of Mrs. Emma M. Linden. 361 Holladay street, but- was frightened away. IMPERSONATOR DUE SOON Montaville Flowers to Appear Thurs day for Alumnae Association.
