THE 3IORNIN6 . OREGONIAX, THURSDAT- DECEMBER . 1912. 19 INJUNCTION SOUGHT ON NEW RATE LAVi O.-W. R. & N. and North Bank File Complaints Against Initiative Measure. - HEARING SET DECEMBER 16 Temporary Restraining Order Denied but Freight Agents Ignore Act for Present; "Viclona" Elements of Schedules Pointed Out. ' Enforcement of the new railroad rate kill, passed by the people of Oregon at ; the recent election, may be prevented ; through sin injunction of the Federal i courts, which is sought by joint bills of complaint filed yesterday morning ' by the O.-W. R. & N. Company and i the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Rail ' road. , Members of the State Railroad Com mission, the Attorney-General of the " state and the District Attorneys of the , - various districts through which the ' plaintiff corporations operate their ! lines are made defendants to the suit. ' Judge Wolverton, while denying an im i mediate temporary restraining order, will require the defendants to appear In court 'December 16 to show cause ' why such an order shall not be Issued. Complaint is made that the law passed by the Oregon voters is in con- ' flict with the orders of the Interstate ' Commerce Commission, Inasmuch as it is alleged to Interfere with interstate trade. ,' Concrete Examples Presented. ' ' Concrete examples of rate comblna- tions are presented to show that the proposed new rates will be detrimental ; to Boise. Idaho; walla waua, wasn., - and other cities whose trade relations with Oregon points are governed by Interstate traffic Should the railroads attempt to en : force the new bill, the petitions state, they would be compelled to violate the orders of the Interstate Commission in the Portland Chamber of Commerce case and In the "back-haul" case de ' elded a short while ago. They would i be compelled also to discriminate against the Coast cities, it is charged, ' against all towns in Southern Idaho on i the Oregon Short Line and against Walla Walla and other points in Wash ington. The measure regulates all Ore gon and California business. It is as ' serted, both northbound and south bound, and compels discrimination agalnBt the small shipper in favor of .the heavy shipper. Violation of the famous fourth sec . tion of the Interstate Commerce code, requiring filing of specific rates on all ; ' tariffs, will result if the measure is en , forced, it Is said, and the further al legation is made that an commodity . rates will be thrown Into class rates, nu that. the rate on 90 per cent of the '. tonnage now handled by the railroads i will be so high that it can't possibly , move. jiniuijfuuiii, is LHrgc, : That rates on carload lots to job 1 bers in interior towns, according to the proportion of charges fixed by this measure, are only 50 per cent of the ; rates fixed by the Interstate Commerce , Commission as reasonable is another charge. Additional complaint is made that it classifies high-class commodl- ties with low-class commodities car rying low rates, and operates to con- - fiscate virtually 90 per cent of the tonnage moving within the state. "It is absolutely' so ambiguous." say - the attorneys, "that we can't find a ' traffic man who can. determine defi nitely what the rates are under the bill." The Implication is held out that the ' rate "expert" who drew the bi'l had f little experience in rate-making. Al ' though the Medford Jobbers who were ' Instrumental in having it placed on the ; ballot at the last election are not cx ' pected to intervene in the case, it is ; probable that they will be represented i when the hearing for temporary ln S Junction takes place on December 16. - Discrimination Is Shown. How the bill will discriminate against - some cities is shown in a comparative table of rates appended with the com plaint of the O.-W. R. & N. Company. The present combination rates from Portland on Baker to Caldwell, Idaho. is 11.06. while the new combination will be a fraction over 79 cents. Now the rate from Boise to Caldwell is and wi'.l remain 80 cents. The viclousness of tne oiu is snown in tne iuci timt u ia in II T- 1, . f 1 ....... 1 ..-. T a ii aiurg x win unnci iu . . , ...... 11 JS DUl miiea ijuiii sunc iu v-iiiu- welL mat tnis is rana aiscnmination against Boise in favor of Baker is the obvious contention, of the railroad. A more glaring case Is that in the comparison of rates out of Pendleton with those out of Walla Walla. The combination rate from Pendleton to State Line. Wash., a distance of 42 miles, is 40 cents under the new bill. From Walla Walla to State Line, a dis tance of only five miles, the rate is 47 crimination in favor of Pendleton against Walla Walla In violation of the Interstate Commerce Commission's laws. Numerous other similar examples are presented. The probable damage to Portland : Jobbers will be even greater. It is pre dicted. It will be impossible for Port land wholesalers to distribute goods more than 100 miles outside the city, say the attorneys. Law at Present laraored. Although the new law Is supposed to be in effect at the present time the railroads refuse to apply the rates It provides pending the decision of the Federal Court. Should the State Rail road Commission or any of the District Attorneys in territory through which the lines operate start criminal pro ceedings against the carriers for fail ure to obey the law it Is probable'that '. immediate injunction proceedings will . be started. A. C Spencer appeared as attorney - for the O.-W. R. & X. Company and , Carey & Kerr for the Spokane, Port land & Seattle. D. Whiteomb and P. E. Arlett, who are the nominees tor the secretaryship. The passage of the new changes in the by-laws called for. the eletcion of seven instead of three directors, and it was here that the orators received their finest chances. When the nominations were finally closed 16 flowery ad dresses, complemented with more than a score of seconding addresses, had placed on the roll of nominees for the office of director the following 16 names: A. G. Clark, A. C. Black, M. N. Dana, Louis M. Head. E. C. Burdon, R. G. Morrow, R. W. Raymond, Will F. Lipman, D. M. ' Botsford, George L. Baker. V. V. Jones. Russell Carpenter, Hj Eilers, L. A. Colton, G. N. Davis and E. D. Timms. The plan to allow women to attend the annual banquet or the club Janu ary 11 was voted down on the ground that, with the membership of the club reaching a total of 41-5, there would be room only for the accommodation of the members themselves in the ban- quet hall at the Portland Hotel. In the business session preceding the nomination of officers tentative plans were made and approved for the es tablishment of a weealy Ad Club pub lication, in which shall be published the minutes of each meeting -and the speeches delivered. I H. GILBERTSON DEAD PIOXEEIi JJOPGEOffER PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY IX CITY. Well-Known Farmer and Buyer for New York Firm Attacked by Hem orrhage of the Lungs. Mr. H. Gilbertson, of Aurora, one of the best known hop men in the North west, died suddenly at the Belvedere Hotel at 11' A. M. yesterday. He had been Jn Portland for several days and until early yesterday morning was in his usual good health. About 5 A. M., feeling ill, he sent for a physician. Shortly before noon he was attacked by a hemorrhage of the lungs and an ambulance was called, but - before he could be sent to a hospital, he passed away. Dr. Earl Smith attended nim. Mr. Gilbertson was the Northwestern agent of S. & F. Uhlman, hop merchants of New York, having served the firm for more than 30 years. For 10 years before this he was a hop broker at San Francisco. He came to Oregon about 35 years ago, and soon after settled near Aurora where he purchased a large farm which he planted in hops. He was an experienced grower as well as a careful operator in the hop market. Last Summer Mr. Gilbertson made a trip to Europe, visiting his old home in Ireland. While there he was slight ly attached by the ailment that caused his death, but apparently recovered from it. Mr. Gilbertson was born near Tlper- rary, Ireland, -0 years ago.

CASE OF $23 MORE COSTLY Multnomah Pays High to Decide Ac tion Over Small Sum. A case in which the parties came within 2S of settlement by means of arbitration engaged a jury in Judge McGinn's department of the Circuit Court all day yesterday and part of the previous day. The cost of a jury to the county is $36 a day and there is the fur ther expense of the judge s salary ana the salaries of his clerk and bailiff and in addition some other fixed charges to be taken into consideration in esti mating what the trial of this cause cost the people of Multnomah County. The case was that of Emit O. John son and A. S. Paulson, contractors, against John Dellar and the amount sued forwas J600. Johnson and Paul son built a house for Dellar and put In some extras which the architect re fused to pass. There was a row, finally leading to arbitration with the result mentioned. While his judicial position prevented him expressing himself while tha trial of the suit was in progress. Judge McGinn expressed himself forc ibly after the jurors bad retired, snort- ly before 6 o clock last nignt, wun in structions to bring in a sealed verdict if they reached an agreement during the evening. ' "It Is a shame that when they were within $23 of a settlement the parties should -be obdurate and Insist upon com ing Into court and piling all this ex pense on the county, said Judge Mc Ginn "We have many cases vhere in which there are real controversies and the time of the judges could be oetter occupied in disposing of these."

Two heavy explosions on the water front yesterday startled dock ' in habitants, and it was not until they were traced to wreckers of the old Steel bridge that the steamboat fraternity was satisfied the concussions were not accidental. Work was started on the demolition of two cylinder supports of the east span, which formed the east side of the draw passage. Hundreds of fish were killed or stunned by the blasts. The nier stands in 55 feet of water at the present stage and virtually in the center of the best channel, but the river bed slopes from that point to the eastward and rapidly deepens until about 90 feet is attained. The base' of the Dier is in the form of a cylinder also, and when constructed piling was driven in the center to hold it in perpendicular position, while the re maining space was then filled with concrete, the latter material likewise composing the filler tor the upper sup ports. The razing of the pier is being car ried out in accordance wltn an agree ment entered into with Major- Mclndoe, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., and As sistant Engineer B. Hickson was on the scene, together with Captain Speier, head of the harbor patrol force, to keeD in touch with the -manner in which the channel is cleared. If the pier falls on its side and a depth of 40 feet remains over it the Government will not insist on its removal. A steel cable has been fastened to the pier from shore, and it is kept taut so when blasting is carried on the tendency Is to haul it toward deen water. One shot containing 40 pounds or powder was placed by a diver yester day and fired at 12:15 o'clock, and the most noticeable effect was to lift the pier to the eastward, while a second shot of the same size at 3:47 o'clock straightened the cylinder somewhat. It is intended to increase the amoont of powder today with the hope of top- Dline- the heavy mass to the bottom. The explosions killed and stunned hundreds of carp, pike and other deni zens of the streari, and two nsner- men gathered the floating carcasses for purchasers in the Chinese quarter. They said that at present carp are wary oi hooks and lines, and their quest for market supplies has been unproductive, so the blasting proved a boon. GERMAXS WORKTVG QUTETLY Portland Agent Decided On for Hamburg-American Service. Convincing evidence has reached Portland that the Hamburg-American directorate is not -depending solely on the report of G. Glese, who has spent considerable time in the city, before establishing a working force to handle business at the principal Coast cities, for it has been -learned that already an agent has been selected for Port land who has enjoyed wide experience in handling Oriental cargo. . r As the around-the-world- service was scheduled to be inaugurated in Jan uary, so trade would be in a growing state by the time the Panama Canal is available for commercial purposes, an early settlement of the question yet undecided to the satisfaction of Portland business men is looked for. WHfi Mr Giesn has maintained reti cence as to his plans of the line and insists that he is here simply to re port on conditions, he has been given every assistance asked for in familiar izing himself witn statistics, tne nar bor, the channel to the sea and the Co lumbia River bar, besides the company has officers who have navigated out of this port with vessels chartered to the Portland & Asiatic ileet, who are familiar with the road to the sea and whether delays at the bar must be reckoned with more than at other bar- i bors. WOULD ITXLOAD iX HARMOVT In Handling Ballast Captain Hoben Asks Ships to Aid Each Other. In the opinion of Captain Andrew Hoben the discharging of ballast at Linnton could be facilitated If mas ters of vessels occupying, the two berths would work in harmony so that both could unload from corresponding hatches at the same time, bometimes one carrier is idle while the other works, owing to the limited "size of the dock. "It is often the case that one ship is discharging her after hatch and the other her fore hatch, so the one finish ing first has to wait for the other to haul along to reach the next hatch," said Captain Hoben. "If the system was followed of both working the fore hatches or after hatches there would be less delay." It is talked along the waterfront that the property owner is willing to bulkhead his land for the reception of ballast, but does not wish to interfere with the Columbia Engineering Works, which controls the Linnton dock. Less ballast will become .available with the decline of sailing vessels and some are inclined to the view that the present method of handling ballast in adequate. ArCHEXDALE WEATHERS BLOW Lonsdale, Due for Oriental Cargo, Sold to Japs. On the arrival of the British steamer Auchendale at the dock of the North Pacific Lumber Company yesterday morning, coming. from Puget Sound, it was reported by her officers that she was in the blow of Monday, which was severely felt along the Coast. The ves sel was fortunately boarded by a port of Portland pilot that night. She is consigned to the American Trading Company and loads for Australia. The British steamer Lonsdale, which comes to work cargo for the Far Fast, which will be made up of flour, wheat and lumber, Is looked for in the harbor next. It is understood that when she reaches the Asiatic side she will be placed in service along that Coast, hav ing been purchased by Japanese inter ests. The vessel was launched ' at Sunderland In 1889 and first operated under the name of the Villa due Havre. In the Canadian-Mexican service . she plied in conjunction with the steamer Georgia, but 'poor business resulted in the latter being retired and she found her way under the Mikado's emblem.
