LEGISLATORS JN CAUCUS Sentiment rrcvalla That County U KntlUed to One of Two Posi tions nowerman'i Desire 31 ay Affect Result. Whether to try to ela-rt a Speaker of the lower House or the President of the Senate In the next Legislature Is a prob lem puzzling the members of the Multno mah County legislative delegation. To decide the puzzle, one meeting has been held and another Is planned for an early date. The legislators Denevo uik nomah County la entitled to one of the two big places In the Legislature, but It Is doubted that both can be captured, although members of the Multnomah del egation are to be found who, aspire to each of the places. Presidency of the Senate is most, w be desired. This dectson waa quickly Monday when a meeting oi leg islators was held at the Commercial Club. At that time three of the Mult nomah delegation were Ciscusiieo. lor w.o Presidency of the Senate. Dan J. Ma larkey, C. W. Nottingham and Ben Sell ing. ,'t tb snme time It was ascertained that two of the delegation in tha lower House would like to be Speaker. The two are A. O: ltushllght and Jamea Ab bott. "But we cant very wen gei pom places," suggested Representative -ui- 11ns, who acted as cnairman oi meeting. .There was no dissenting voice from the opinion that the presidency of the Senate waa the more attractive place. But Inasmuch aa three Senators were considered It could not be readily de termined which one should be selected as rne choice or tno ooieRauuu. will be considered In a few days. Mr. Collins will call the next meeting soma time mis wees,, mo iim place to be decided on by him. In the meantime an effort will be made to center on one of the three aspirants for the presidency. There is a general Inclination among the delegation to be lieve the place will go to either Mr. Malarkey or Mr. Selling at least. faaC one of those two will get the support of the Multnomah delegation. Another point must be looked into, so It was decided. That Is whether Jay Bowerman wants to succeed himself as president of the Senate. Mr. Bower man aerved In that capacity at the last session, but wtaether he desires to suc ceed himself or whether he could com mand strength sufficient to Insure his re-election are points to be canvassed. In the event that the prealdency of the Senate Is found difficult of attain ment by tha Multnomah delegation, mv speakership of the House will be gone after without quesflon or Investiga tion aa the delegation takes the stand that Multnomah Is entitled to one of the two places and should have Its way In rhat respect.

Chief Examiner Pugh, of the Inter state Commerce Commission. Is in Med ford he&rinc the arguments of the Medford Traffic Bureau and the South era Pacific Railroad concerning the re duction of freight rates between Med ford and points In Northern California. The Medford Traffic Bureau was rep resented by its rate expert. Frank M. McCune, of Spokane, and three mem bers of the bureau. It was shown by Attorney McCune that the Southern Paciflc charges a con siderably higher rate in Oregon than In California, despite the fact that the actual cost of transportation per mile In Oregon Is less than in the latter state. The profits per mile In Oregon are considerably greater than in Cali fornia. Medford Jobbers submitted figures showing that due to the high freight rates and discriminations made In favor of California shippers they could ship goods by wagon to points In the val ley on the Southern Paciflc cheaper than by rail. For a three-mila haul. Just over the California side of the boundary, the cost la 6 cents per hundred, but for the same load, carried two miles on the Oregon side of the line, a charge of 14 cents Is made.

Tha deluded woman yestayday appealed to tha District Attorney and swore to a com plaint charging Arthur Grinstead and Kate Rauch with a felony.

Rudy waa overtaken by Patrolman Sims of the motorcycle squad, on Broadway, when he was making; a speed of 30 miles an hour. Rudy con fessed overspeeding and was fined J35. Later he appealed to the court for a reduction of the penalty, but thia was refused him. W. L. Harrington, a chauffeur for the Crane Company, admitted that he was exceeding the speed limit at East Twenty-eighth street and Hawthorne avenue, and was fined $25. Edwin L.

Louisville and Atlanta, however, reported that there was no perceptible change. Mobile, Ala., re ported a reduction of 9V4 cents a pound in the price of Thanksgiving turkeys. Better Cuts Decline First. New Tork. the greatest consuming point of fresh meat in the country, noted first a marked reduction In the price of the better cuts of beef and then a greater decline In all grades of pork and pork products. Sirloin steak, for merly sold at 24 cents a pound, brought only 22 cents today and porterhouse dropped from 28 and 30 cents to 25 and 27 cents. The reduction, most generally affecting the local markets was that in fresh pork, cuta that sold recently at 22 cents being quoted tody at 18 and even lower. Lard went" down 2 cents. Only the best grade! of ham and bacon were unaffected. Leading wholesale dealers attribute the decline to the year's bumper crop of corn and the stimulating effect on the production of pork that has been exercised by the recently extremely high prices. As Secretary Wilson said the other day, the farmers have been raising more meat products and there haa been a great supply of feed. Chicago Predicts Further Drop. A decline today in the Chicago prices at the stockyards was followed bjr a reduction of fresh meats and staples. Commission men here today predicted lower prices on everything except eggs, which they say axe high and go ing higher. The following shows some of the re ductions here in the last week: T week.

Everything except ham and bacon declined In Indianapolis. Mil waukee waa one of the exceptions of the day. There the pricea of foods generally, except meat, went off. but meat did not change, aji 1 were cheaper In Detroit. Omaha, St. Paul and cities of the Central West. In Pittsburg the expected decline In meats haa been offset to some extent by a marked rise In eggs. Philadel phia dealers seem to have little confi dence in the permanency of the reduc tion In meat prices, for they are laying in large stocks in the expectation of an early return to the old figures. In San Francisco and Los Angeles the reductions reached the consumer in only a few instances. Los Angeles reports cheaper lard, the high price having fallen from 18 to 15 cents, but the decrease of half a cent In the wholesale price of bacon haa not af fected the retail figures. Tha price of turkeys is three cents higher than last year, but dealera say that the quality Is that much better. A curious situation develops In Se attle and Spokane, in which cities, al though the Eastern quotations usually govern, there la a decline In pork producta and an Increase, or prospec tive increase, in the prices of i fresh meats. Fish is lncreaaing in price In Seattle, in spite of growing supply. In the wholesale district, in Wash ington, 1. C the price of beef was reported reduced between 4 and 5 cent! a pound by the packers. The price of pork went down about 3 cents. Hope was held out that mutton and veal anu other products of the packing houses would follow in thi downward move ment. Retailers in Washington have not heard of the decrease officially ex cept as to the price of pork. Beef waa selling today as high as ever in tha retail shops. Bandon Has Big Fish Pack. BANDON, Or..

ALL SHOWS COMING John Cort Signs Ten-Year Agreement With "Trust." ENTIRE BOOKINGS SECURED Telegram Is Sent From Cleveland j Telling; of Exclusive Right in, Western Towns Where Associa tion Ilea? Two Theaters. The latest expression in the controver sy between John Cort. manager of tha National Theater Owners' Association, and Klaw & Ertanger, styled "the synd icate," Is In a telegram received last night from John Cort at Cleveland, which reads: "The agreement signed between Klaw & Erlanger and myself for the North west Theatrical Association for a period of ten years gives us the exclusive syndicate bookings for the entire West where they do not now have theaters. A similar oontract applies to rauenai Theater Owners'. Association. All syndi cate attractions that can bo routed will be seen this season." This would indicate that Cort nan signed with the syndicate for another ten years. The salient feature or me telegram is believed to rest in the word now." No doubt Klaw & erlanger could contend that the contract for the new theater In Portland is equivalent. to having it already In existence. The natural Inquiry among the theatrical men of the city is why mention was made of "where they do not now have theaters" In the Cort contract. They have no theatera in the Cort territory the Northwest. Klaw & Erlanger are under contract with the Sweeney Investment Company for a new theater In Portland wnicn they declare they will occupy next sea son. BAY CITY BOOSTER HERE n. G.
