ALL COAST IS CONCERNED Interstate Commerce Commission's Examiner Takes l"p Plaint of II. L. Keats Company Dis crimination Alleged. Automobile shipments to every termi nal point on the Pacific Coast are in volved In tha heamg before K. I. Vas sault, special examiner of the Interstate Commerce Commission, in the Commer cial Club building yesterday. In which the H. U Keats Auto Company raised the contention that the present less-than-carload rate is excessive, that it prohibits the movement of automobiles to other than the large distributing centers, that It creates a monopoly of business In tho large cities and that It Is unreasonable in comparison to the carload rate. E. M. Cousins, attorney for tho plaintiff. Introduced evidence Intending to show thaf a low carload rate and a high "L. C. L." rate confine business to one market and that in effect they are a discrimination against the leader In suburban districts. The testimony showed that Portland automobile con cerns ship automobiles into this city In carload lots, at the rate of $3 a hun dred pounds, and that they distribute them In all parts of Oregon. Idaho and Eastern Washington. High Rate Attacked. The relationship of the rate, on auto mobiles, and the rate on other similar oommodltles. he contended. Is not proper and contrary to the decision of the Commission In the case of the St. Louis Business Men's organization, in which It was held that the less-than-carload rate should not exceed the carload rate by 50 per cent. The present less-than-carload rate from Eastern manufactor ies to Portland Is 17, which Is 133 per cent higher than the carload rate. Representatives of the O.-W. R. N. Co. and the North Bank Road, through their attorneys, produced testimony based on tha contention that an auto mobile is a luxury and that It Is not en titled to move under the same rates that other vehicles do. .They ridiculed the Idea that the rate on an automobile should be baaed on the rates made for wagons and carriages and those for gas engines. They also pointed out that an automobile when shipped in a car with other merchandise demands a large amount of space and that it causes a great risk. Iroa Char gee Also Up. Tha examiner started late yesterday afternoon to take evidence In tha case of the Security Vault Metal Works, represented by A. J. Partington. The plaintiff contends that tha rata on cor rugated iron Intended for use in bridges and culverts should ba So cents for every 100 pounds, which Is the rate for bridge material. Tho carriers say that such shipments should ba classed as corrugated iron "not otherwise speci fied, for which the rata la 5 cents. C. A. Foster, secretary of the plaintiff concern, occupied the stand until ad journment. Hearings will be resumed at o'clock this morning. Tha case of Page A Sons against tha Southern Pacific Company was dis missed because the prosecution did not put in an appearance. SERGEANT'S SIDE HEARD POLICEMEN PKAISED COLE AS CLEAX, DEOLAKES OXE. Conversations of Patrolmen Who Confessed Grafting: Are Cited. Instructed Verdict Refused. R. C. Scott, the first witness called by tha defense In the Cola case yes terday, testified to various conversa tions had with Patrolmen Larfleld and Fuller, confessed "grafters" from omen of tha underworld. In which tha policemen are alleged to have said that they never knew Sergeant Cola to take dollar Illegally. Tha witness also testified that he was In an adjoining room In Mr. McAllis ter's offices when Patrolman Larfield. In conversation with Mr. McAllister, Is eUleged to hava said that he knew Cole to be honest, but that ha (I-arfleld) was In bad" with the city administration and had to testify against Cole to save himself. Scott testified that In this conversation Larflcld said that he would not take the stand for either side and that Mr. McAllister warned Larfleld that If he did testify for tha state he would be cross-examined about tba conversation they were then hav ing. Tha same witness said that in com pany with Patrolman Fuller ha visited the disorderly houses conducted by AJ 11a Bell and Violet Martin and that both these women said they had never given Cole any money, ona of them remarking "The old fool doesn t know enough to take money." Fuller admitted on the witness stand that ths visit waa made and that ha heard "some such remarks." Both women swore that they had re peatedly given Cole money and had given money also to tha patrolmen. Tha case of tha state closed with tha testimony of Patrolman Larfield and Bess'e Dean, the woman saying she had been an Inmate of the house of Allle Bell, from whom Cole Is charged In the Indictment with having taken money. and that Sergeant Cole had allowed tha place to run unmolested for months at time. Larfleld said the money he collected from disorderly women amounted some times to $30 a week and that he gave It all to Cole, sometimes getting back S3. 13 or 15. Cole, he declared, told him that the money waa not for protec tion, and be believed It. The witness testified that he waa never told to give any of the money to Cole and also that Cola sometimes "kicked because tha district waa not producing mora money. Tha money. Larfleld said, would be dropped In his pocket, laid on a table or handed him quietly. He testified that he urged Cole to make a clean breast of the whole affair to ths Chief. but had been met with refusal. Judge Morrow overruled a motion for an Instructed verdict. CASE DROPPED BY GATENS flnrrard Charge Xot Dismissed by Judge Morrow, as Reported. The indictment against A. J. Garrard. accused of leading astray Bessie May Wood, aged 17. waa dismissed by Jndge Gatena and not by Judge Morrow. Re seating tba published statement that be had dismissed the case Judge Morrow yesterday had his clerk unearth tha order of dismissal. It bears the signa ture of Judge Gatena and is dated February 1. Judge Gatena ceased to be presiding Judge on January 31 and Judge Morrow assumed the duties for a few days while Judge Kavanaugh, next In the line of succession, was oc cupied with the Wilde case. The case waa one which should come properly before the presiding judge and the action of Judge Gatens In signing the order of dismissal after his term had expired is unprecedented. The order sets forth that Bessie May Wood, the complaining witness, and Mrs. Helen Stratton. her sister, had de-clared-thelr unwillingness to go further with the case. "It seemed strange to me. In view of the aggravated nature of the case and the great deal of publicity which it obtained, that I should have dismissed the Indictment without remembering It," said Judge Morrow. "For this rea son I had my clerk look up the order and was pleased to find that my mem ory had not played me false." "Judge Gatens kept throwing cold water on this case right along." said Deputy District Attorney Fltsgerald. "I do not believe that Justice should be trifled with In this manner. I do not say that any ulterior motive prompted the dismissal, but what is the use of having criminal courts If cases are to be so disposed of 7" When Interviewed by an Oregonlan reporter Thursday night about the dis missal Judge Gatens said that the ques tion of dismissal had been presented to him by Deputy District Attorney Mlchelet and that he had refused the request- STEERS DIME HIGHER TWO LOADS HIGH-GRADE CAT TLE BRIXG So.35. Hogs llrm at the Old Price Wool Lamps Sell Off the Cars at $6. Thare was strength shown In all lines of livestock at the yards ysiterday. Prime steers sold at a dime advance and else where In the mark.t values were well main tained.

A load of choice cows sold at as.!.. The livestock Reporter says of the oourse of the cattle market so far this week: "The big feature of the cattle market was the advanoe registered on choice steers. Some of the best heavy, finished bullocks seen here tor a month were offered 'the killers and did not have to lose any time on the way to the shambles. The bulk of steer eales was also higher than last week and It waa evident beef buyore were eager fur choice stock, but not averse to taking the poorer grades providing a fresh deluge would not be precipitated. Butchsr stock was really second choice with the buyers, chiefly because cow and heifer stuff was not offering very freely and representa tives sales were not as large comparatively as the previous period. Veal market was steady to strong with few calves offering and everything snapped up. Bulls were steady." A good business was done in hogs yes terday, oholce lots bringing $s.7s.

Fully one-third of the deaths are duo to preventable diseases. This Is a tre mendous waste of human life. One of the greatest destroyers Is pneumonia. It always follows a cold. Give tha cold the attention It deserves and pneu monia may ba avoided. Tou never heard of anyone who used Chamber lain's Cough Remedy having pneu monia, and millions of bottles of that remedy are sold every year.

They dose the system with powerful stimu lants and tonics, calculated to restore nervous force or strength that is not and never has been lacking, with the result that the functions are tempo rarily excited to the positive detriment of the patient.
