Testimony In justification of the ap plication of a higher rate on ship ments from San Francisco to Southern Oregon points than from San Francisco to Portland was offered before Frank lin K- Lane, chairman of the Inter state Commerce Commission, by rate experts of the Southern Pacific Com pany at a hearing- in the Federal build ing here yesterday. The hearing was held on the demand of the business men of Medford that the ruling of the Commission, providing that a greater charge should not be made for a short than for a longer haul over the same line, .be enforced. Resisting this prayer, the Southern Pacific Company filed with the Commission a petition asking to be relieved from modifying Its tariffs to comply with the recent order of the Commissioners. The hearing was concluded late yes terday afternoon when Commissioner Iane announced that the railroad com pany would be granted 60 days to file a brief. Other Interested parties de siring to submit briefs will be allowed an additional 30 days. At the expira tion of 0 days, the Commission will fix a date for hearing oral arguments at Washington by counsel representing the carrier and the shippers. Rates liowrr Than in East. Witnesses for the Southern Pacific testified that the discrimination In rates from San Francisco to Medford was justified by reason of the water competition which affected rail rates as far north as Red Bluff. It was also brought out In the testimony that the water rate, because of forced competi tion of independent steam schooners between San Francisco and Portland, ranged from 25 to 45 cents tha 100 pounds, according to classification. These tariffs. It was shown by com parison, were fully 100 per cent less than tha tariffs on tba same classrfl cations between Charleston, S. C. and New York, about the cams distance as As a result of the water competition UOUniV UTTICeS NOW ULIarTGrGn mo two x-a.cii.io toasi pons. v VT Aft" I L s i . f.-i-?' t "f 9 .-- THREE PORTRAITS OF LILY LE.VA. MOVING DAY OVER between experu said that fully 80 per cent ot the through business was handled by the water carriers, leaving only 20 per cent to be handled by tha Harrlmaa railroad. Professor Henry Thurtell. who represented the Commission at tha hearing, agreed that tha rata by rail from San Francisco to Southern Ore iron points was governed by water competition, but held to the opinion that the rates were slightly excessive. Experts Give Testimony. Experts for the railroad company testified th'at these rates, however, were based on the water rate ef SI cents from San Francisco to Portland, and the local rate from Portland to destination, less cents tha 100 pounds on the first four classifications and 3 ' rents the 100 pounda on the other six classifications. Cost of maintenance and operation of trains out of San Francisco over tha Siskiyou Mountains Into Southern Oregon waa assigned as further justification of the rates against which the Medford merchants are complaining.

Grain Shippers Complain, Testimony was also offered In the complaint of Kerr, Glfford & Company and Balfour, Guthrie A Company, who ask that the Commission make a rul ing requiring the Harriman roads to allow shippera a maximum of 14.15 for repairs to cars used for shipping grain In bulk. Under the present tariff they are allowed 2 per car. Complainants suDmitted figures to show that ship pers In the Missouri River and Chicago territory enjoyed a maximum allow ance or I3.S0 for such repairs. It was urged also that because of the faulty couuiuon or many of the cars delivered io snippers, the present allowance of 12 per car was Insufficient to make the necessary repairs with the result that an additional burden falls on tha ship per, which properly belonged to the carrier. in opposing the requested Increase In this charge, the railroad company caiieu as witnesses M.

Anyone after hearing her sing or spending five minutes with her as a favored visitor would aay tha same. Miss Lena is the haadllner at the Orpheum this week. "I'm EngUsb. and from London." said the dainty comedienne, with her pretty accent, as ahe came off the stage after singing her group of merry English songs. She is a charming person to interview, is delightfully reminiscent and speaks with crisp distinctness. In this latter regard she is a pattern whom other vaudeville stars should follow. Only a few weeks ago she was in her native England, not because she was homesick, but because she wanted to be In time for the coronation fes tivities. "I wanted to see King George and Queen Mary," explained Miss Lena, "and went In style and paid $25 for a seat In a swell lnclosure. The King and Queen wore their robes of state as they rode past, but I did not get a very good look at them. A day or two after this they passed down my home street to open a state function and I saw them, for nothing, as plainly as I sea you now. I also went over to Eng land to get new songs written for my season's work, and I really think that they will equal my last y&ar's suc cesses. ' I have only been tMee weeks on the road this season. In England, this last time, I took over my Amer ican auto and I and my friends mo tored to Land's End. one of our most Interesting pilgrimages being to the home church and grave of George Washington's father, at Brinkton, near Northampton. I saw the Washington family coat-of-arms, with stars, bars and eagle on them, and am sure from this you Americans . took these into consideration in making up the first American flag.- I have been in Eng lish vaudeville since I was a little girl and have often played boy parts. There isn't much difference between English and American vaudeville audiences have to be amused. Do you see my gowns over there? I had to pay $1260 bond money to the custom-house offi cials at New York before they allowed m to take them with v me. .ook at hm: loo-o-k at t-h-e-m And the rest was lost in delighted English gur gles.
