MASS OF FIGURES GIVEN Inland Empire Jobber ' Contend Present Rates IMace Them at J nisadrantage In Shipping to Points In "Their Territory." SPOKANE. June 13. Spokane shippers introduced Wednesday before the Public Service Commliilon of the state a mm of fla-uree In an effort to amend the aeneral freJBht tariffs of all railroads operating In the State of Washing-ton. Tbsee flaureo were presented to ihow that railroads have been maklns: char-rea too hlKh on carload business aa distinguished from less than carload shipment. Spokane Jobbers contend that the present rates place them at a disad vantage In shipping to points In what thy term their territory. Witnesses from Seattle, and other Coast point were present, . but were not called to the stand. O. O. Calderhead. rate expert of the Commission. Introduced a table of fig ures to show that th contention of the Spokane shippers, as presented by rep resentatives of the various commercial bodies, was well founded. The Coast men. were, assured . they would have ample, opportunity to ctoss examlne'Mr. Calderhead. and the hear In was adjourned today to mee In Seattle within three weeks, the time to bo announced later.- The matter simmered down to this: Spokane has no objection to the lower less-than-carload-rates from the Coast, ordered in March 1., providing lesa-car-Insd rates are Riven Spokane from tha Coast. The Coast cities have no ob jections to their carload rates from the Coast to Spokane, providing- the less-than-rarload rates from the Coast are also third. In other Words, the dif ferential or "spread, between carload and less than carload rates from the Coast Is tha crux of the situation. Spokane appeals to the Board that It be raised and the Coast cities object to too wide a spread. On rosa-examlnatlon of II. D. Trun key 1Mb afternoon. Attorney J. N. Teal, representing Portland Interests, forced admission from the witness that Spo kane Jobbers were Interested In secur ing their carload rates primarily be cause these would five. greater "spread" and not because of their In herent reasonableness. This admission la regarded as don ating, because it has been held that tha public aervlce will not allot the territory to jobbers, but must only consider the Interests of the consumer. Judge Read Indicated by his questions that the railroads would contend that tha Commission had no right to reopen the rata case and disturb the new rates that went In only last March.

T.R.SAYS TARMEH ARE BOLTING NOV Colonel Thoroughly Aroused by Latest Losses in De ciding Contests. PRIMARY LAW REVIEWED Committee Action In California Caxe I Declared Not Morally Worse Than Hitherto, but a Little More Flagrant. OYSTER BAT. N. Y. June 13. "They are bolting from the Republican party at this moment," said Colonel Roose velt last night, speaking of supporters of President Taft on the Republican Na tional committee. The ex-President was aroused to a fighting mood by the news from Chicago. He denounced the action of the National committee in deciding contests for sests In the National con vention from Kentucky, Arlsona and California. Colonel Roosevelt laid special em phasis upon the seating of the Taft delegates from one California district. The Colonel expressed the opinion that the National convention would not ratify the seating of tha Taft dele gates from California. "What do you think the 34 Roose velt delegatea already seated from California will do if tha convention de clines to admit the other two?" Colonel Roosevelt was asked. Colonel Will Not rrophea. "I am not going to try to aay what they will do." he replied. "I am not making any prophesies." Colonel Roosevelt declined to com ment upon the statement of William Flinn, of Pittsburg, and other Rooae velt supporters thst the members of the electoral college from several Re publican states which have been car ried by Roosevelt at the primaries would cast their votes for blm If Taft is renominated. Colonel Roosevelt's statement in part follows: "In Arlsona Mr. Taft's National com mitteemen acted with great franknsss on their view that the Intrusion of the people Into politics Is an unwarranted Impertinence calling for rebuke by the National committee. The case turned on the single county of Maricopa. The county committee bad the option of selecting delegates to tha state con vention or of calling a primary to give the people the right to vote. Artsoaa Caa Reviewed. "At a meeting of tha county com mittee all the Roosevelt men. joined by two of the Taft men, ordered a primary to be held throughout the county. A minority on tha county committee held a rump meeting and selected Taft dele gatea to the atate convention. At ti e primaries tha Roosevelt delegates were elected by a vote of ISO as against less than IS for Taft. "The National committee, acting on Mr. Taft'a theory that thla ought not te be a government by tha people, treated the fact that tha votera had themselves been given the right to say who tbslr delegatea should be as a rea son for refusing to seat the delegate elected by the voters. "In California the action of tha Na tional committee waa perhaps not morally worse than hitherto, but it waa just a little 'more flagrant. Here I can contribute out of my peraonal knowl edge to the history of what waa done. The progressive of California held control of the Legislature and party machinery. Under tha primary law than existing, which had been enacted by the old Republican machine, the progressives could have obtained all tbe delegates without resorting to a primary. Peoala Left Decide, "This waa. of course, - what they would have done if they had been will ing to act like the Taft-Barnee machine In -New York, the Taft Amalgamated Copper machine in Montana, tbe Taft- Keallng machinery In Indiana and tha Taft-Guggenhelm machine in coiorano. The temptation waa very strong to. take the delegates without risaing a primary. "Governor Johnson wrote for my views, saying he felt that even at the cost of surrendering tha advantage tne old primary law gave us we should be true to our principles and give the people a chance to vote at a primary for whom they wanted. "I wrote back that I entirely agreed with him. and nrged tha passage of tb primary law. Governor Johnson and I agreeing that what we wished waa to rtva th- people a chance to decide for themselves, and whatever our personaM views, we should acquiesce in such a d vision. Accordingly tha progressives in California gave up the certainty oi having all the delegates for us, and as a matter of principle and justice passed the primary law." All Are Deleerates-at-Lanre. "Every reactionary paper In tha state waa pleading for such a law because they hoped to win under It. The Leg islature of California decreed that in California, aa in Oregon, South Da kota and North Dakota, the delegatea all should be elected at large. All par. tlea and factions acquiesced in the law and the aupportera of the three Repub lican candidates for President made a campaign throughout the state. "Mr. Taft sent a special letter to Cal. Ifornla which showed bis entire acqui escence In the law. "There were no candldatea In ' tha districts at all and until after the prl .mary waa held there was not a sug gestion made about the district dele gates. The Taft members of the Na tional committee now seat two Taft men, saying they come from the Fourth District. As a matter of fact. 14 pre cincts in the Fourth District overlap the Fifth IMstrlct. and no man on earth can tell what the vote .In the Fourth District was. ' Vet la Dtvlae-i. "After the primary every decent man In California acquiesced, but a lieuten ant of Patrick Calhoun, the man whom Mr. Heney Indicted, haa made the con test and the National committee actu ally haa seated two Taft-CaJhoun dele gates from California, although there were no district candldatea. and al though no human being can say what the vote was in the district which these men claim. "Governor Johnson rightly baa said that It la an Insult to ' tha Htate of California to listen to Calhoun's repre sentative in such a case and he re fused to appear before the National committee, saying he would not try the title of stolen property before the thief who stnls It. Remember that there waa not a district delegate elected in California. There were 33 delegates elected at large by a majority of 17.000. . Majority of T7.eoe Overthrowm.

The list offers In teresting reading and It la curious to see Mr. Brooker. of Connecticut, and Mr. Crane, of Massachusetts, and Mr. Nagle, Mr. Taft'a personal representa tive from Missouri, following bebnd Mr. Penrose, Mr. Franklin Murphy, Mr. Powell Clayton, Mr. Mulvane, of Kan sas, and Mr. A.

"I ask that tne decent voters of tha country read Judge Llndsey's book on The Beast and the Jnngle,' study what he has said about Mr. Stevenson, ajd they will appreciate the full signifi cance of the actions of Messrs.

Then there come It who represent the Republican states, every one of which haa re pudiated Mr. Taft at the primaries this Spring, with tha exception ot Massachusetts, which, however, re pudiated Mr. Crane, the man through whom the vote of Massachusetts has just been registered in favor of the two delegatea In question from the peo ple of California. "This makes a total of 30 out. of 37 Taft members of the National Com mittee.
