That recognition of the natural ad vantages for competitive transportation enjoyed by seaboard cities, such as Portland, la the basis of the Commerce Court's action tn granting an Injunc tion In th. epok.n. and Interraountaln rat. rases, was th. belief expressed eeterilay by J.

The Commission, when th. order wa made, did not undertake to fig any definite scale of rates, but decided wholly en lie question of discrimination. Tills order provided, for. example, that th. rate from Missouri River points to Spokane should be no higher than thv Toast rate; from Chicago It could be not more than seven per cent higher: from Pittsburg not more than is per rrit higher, and from New Tork not more than 3S per cent higher. 'It la thna obeervi that the basis rf the rate was the rnn terminal rate vhlch the Comm'.sMon Itself found to be afrected by water competition. It waa argued to the Court that the long and ahort haul section did not author ise the removal of discrimination by the a. of compulsory competitive rate. It waa contended by the Coast cities that the proposed basis would take way the natural advartagea that they enjoyed by reason of their proximity to the ocean and. therefore, that the construction of the law placed In the hands of the Commission th. power ts nullify -this nstural competition and establish discrimination. The law In this respect recogalxe. discrimination, but alms to prevent unjust and undue diecr! ml nation. -It waa argued that If the Commls ..n theory of the law Is correct It Inevitsb'y will lead to an Inflexible long and short haul clause, aa It would be constantly contended that certain ratea were unjust.

YOUNG ENGINEER YET BAFFLES Mrs. Leiberg Says Her Son Was Youthful Prodigy. LOGGER'S LEARNING DEEP Physician Who Examines Wanderer at Eugene Says Identity Has Been Lost, but May Be Restored. Return Made to Sawmill. EUGENE, Or., Nov. . (Speclat) ' "Someday, the real Bernard Marvin will hear of all this fuss that Is being stirred up here about dual personali ties and lost memories, and come back to this town, and then there will be an awful row," waa the statement made today by the man who in the face of all the entreaties of his almost heart-broken mother, maintains that he is George A. Lewis, a working man. and not Bernard Marvin, the son of Mrs. Leiberg, and a Berkeley graduate. "He will be one of the maddest men In the United States," he continued. "I am mighty glad that I have kept clear in the matter, all the way through. He can't have anything on me when he does come back. They have asked me a lot of questions about where I have been since this man disappeared, but I have kept stllL- I have been around over the country a good deal, and I may have been somewhere that he was. That would connect me with the case In spite of myself. Mother Positive of Son. Hia case Is a complete puzzle to all who have spoken to him. It Is beyond human belief that a mother could be mistaken In her own child, when she had seen him less than two months ago. Mrs. Leiberg Is a practicing phy sician, and a woman of brilliant edu cation and wide knowledga of the world. She does not even attempt to verify her knowledge, because she is positive. On the other hand, Marvin, who per sists that his name is Lewis, is equally positive that he Is a strange victim of a case of mistaken identity. He talks rationally and clearly, and when lis tening It Is almost Impossible not to believe him, for he Is so unmistakably sincere. 'His haziness as to his past previous to two months ago is the only Irrational mark about him. v,"If there is a man In the world whom I would like to meet more than any other," said he today, "It is this Ber nard Marvin. Imagine yourself being taken for her eon by a woman you never saw before. I read a story not long ago where a woman mistook a man for her husband, and was positive for a long time that she couldn't be mistaken, but I never supposed that I would rind myseir In almost the same position. It Is unheard or. I sometimes get to wondering, myself. If It could be true, but I know who I am. Marvin to Return, He Says. "Or course it is all a strange and unusual case of mistaken Identity. It can't be anything else. Dr. Leiberg Is entirely sincere, and honestly thinks I am her son. I am mighty sorry for her, and wish I could help her. She la simply mistaken. I don't blame her for anything, and she has treated me well. "It la my opinion that this man Mar vin haa gone to Portland, and that something has happened to him there. It Is likely that he has been shang haied, and shoved onto some ship. Such things are done. In that case, as soon as he can get to some port, he. will cable his mother. I expect to hear of some such thing. There Is no rea son to think, even ir he has been shanghaied, that he will be badly treat ed. I was talking to a seafaring man not long ago, and he said that in all his experience, he had never known a man before the maat to be struck by an officer. Scholarly studies Attract. "I am going to keep close track of this case. If anyone is Interested in knowing about this man Marvin, I am. I have taken good care to establish the fact that I am not trying to pass myself off for him. so he can have nothing against me. I hope he may be heard from before long." Marvin la anxious to get to work again, and is tired of the Inactivity of the past week. He la very favorably impressed with Eugene as a pretty town, but deplores the publicity that his peculiar situation has brought him. 'I would like to find an opening for work here In this town," he said, "but of course It Is Impossible now. I am a marked man after all this, and people turn around and point me out on the street "I am going to look for something better than just working with my . hands, anyway. There is nothing ir It for the plain working man. I am , going to get Into something that takes headwork, and that has some future to It." He would like to go Into either (Concluded on Pass B-
