The minor combinations not passed

of the Central of New Jersey with Its

Coal Companv which is said to have
been projecting a new railroad, the
Delaware Valley & Kingston.
Justice Lurton dwelt upon the great
factor of the six railroads and their
coal companies in anthracite mining
Over SO per cent of the entire unmined
area of anthracite was owned by tbem
he declared, and over 75 per cent ol
the annual supply put on the market
was theirs. He said the tremendous
Influence of those companies in this
business was due to the liberal policy
of Tennsvlvania in encouraging coal
development by authorising an alliance
between the coal producing and tiie
coal transporting companies.

The justice considered the charge of
a "general combination" to apportion
output. Reliance was made, he said
in support of this charge, on the con
ference of railroad presidents In 1896,
when it was averre'd efforts were made
to distribute the coal business upon
the basis of the amount carried in pre
vious years.

"The weight of proof." declared Jus
tice Lurton, "satisfies us that whatever

or if attempted, was . abandoned long

Taking up the Temple Iron Company

BUTTER TRUST SMASHED

smiles and a continuation of 'he pro
gresslve progruiumo from tho other
memo r.
F.oard of Trade hall at 2 o'clock In the
afternoon was in a belligerent attitude.
It was evid.Mit that the prlce-makins
committee would not go without a
strenuous fight, so Air. Younger, leader
of the belli gfrents. Immediately took
matters into lis own hands.
"Are there any offers for butter?"
asked Charles H. Potter, president of
the Board.
"Thirty-four cents .for any amount,"
answered Air. Younger, thus cutting the
previous week's prices down 2 cents.
I mi vi rr Price Approved.
The protests went no further than
glowering looks, however, and the
price committee used its rapidly
dwindling power to approve of this
price. -
A moment later, just after the an
nual meeting liatl been called to order,
a follower of the Younger-Atoles fac
tion, asked that the rules be suspended
in order that the business might be
expedited. A suspecting farmer In the
rear of the ha-Il arose and Inquired as
to the reason for tnis suspension of
rules. .
"I'll tell you why it is." said Mr.
Younger, advancing to the front of the
ball. "A select coterie of members of
this Board has for 20 years been
handling this butter business with a
high bund. Now it's time we were
doing something for ourselves. We'll
give them not a double dose, but a
triple dose."
Then h set about doing it. with the
result that tbe butter ring, which lias
dictated prices to tho entire country for
years, speedily went to smash.
Important Change '.Made.
The reorganization of tho board and
the amendment to its rules was the
culmination of a bitter fight for control
of the organization waged for years
between the committee or selling in
terests and the producers. The com-
isslon men elected a board of five
dlrertors, abolished the quotation com
mittee and made a number of import
ant changes in the organization meth
ods.
The producers' faction left the hall
before the reorganization programme
had been put through and threatened
to organize a rival board.
The other changes in the rules adopt
ed provide for the lowering of the
quality standard of butter to-score 92
points in Summer months and 90 points
in Winter, months. The present re
quirement is 93 points throughout the
year.
Another order requires that all but
ter must be sold the same week in
which, it is made and that all prices
are to be made from Elgin instead of
from the shipping point.
PRICES EXPECTED TO DROP
Mortice Itutter Alu'st .Meet Competi
tion r Fresh Stocks.
The nrocrpss of the Government's
'suit against the alleged butter trust of
Elgin and Chicago is being closely
watched by the creamery men of Port
land. They do not believe that a cor
ner exists in the storage butter mar
ket and point out how it would be
impossible to force the storage price up
to the level Indicated by the Chicago
reports. What concerns them chiefly
is the effect that the agitation will
have on the local market.
The butter markets of the entire
country just now are unsettled by the
complications at Chicago. At that
point prices are decidedly weak In
view of the possibility of large quan
tities being suddenly forced . on the
market. The weakness is felt here in
spite of the fact that the supply of
local-made butter Is light, as it always
Is In Winter. Therefore, it would oc
casion no surprise If Portland prices
were to ease off somewhat In the near
future. At any rate, no one expects an
advance.
As for the dissolution of the Elgin
board, it occasions no regret. Prices
from now on will be governed solely
by the law of supply and demand. In
the Portland market efforts have In the
past been made to fix prices, but they
always adjust themselves to actual
conditions in the end.
Storage butter stocks In the East,
according to well-informed creamery
men here, are about 8.000.000 pounds
more than they were a year ago. The
storage supply last year was exhacsted
by New Y'ear's, and that means that the
present stock is no more than is
needed to see the trade through the
present Winter season. This In itself
would mean a steady, if not a strong
market. The current price of storage
butter at Chicago, about 32 cents, is
not deemed high when the original
cost ot the product is taken into con
sideration. This butter cost 26 cents
at storing time last June, say Portland
butter authorities. To put it on the
market, after paying carrying charges,
allowing for shrinkage, etc., brings the
cost up to 294 cents. Tha margin be
tween this and the selling price is,
therefore, not excessive. Probably no
merchant in the country would do
business for less.
The 1911 pack was put away on a
21-cent market, and as the butter was
taken out at 32 cents, the same as
now. it showed the speculators a big
profit. It was this that caused the
heavy demand for butter for storing
last June and put the price up d cents
higher than in the previous season.
All the manipulators In the world, in
the opinion of Portland dealers, cannot
boost the price of storage butter above
the price of the fresh article. At Chi
cago yesterday the best fresh creamery
was quoted at 33 cents. No one is
going to pay more for butter six
months old, no matter how well Kept,
than for butter just made. Conse
quently, the talk of sending the price
of storage up to 2 cents is ridiculous,
they say. . Such an advance might be
forced, if the speculators also con
trolled the manufacture of fresh but
ter, but this Is not In their hands. The
Elgin board looked after this branch of
the business, and now the Elgin board
has ceased to exist.
What Portland buttermen look for Is
not higher prices at Chicago, but lower
ones. This, they believe, will result
from forced liquidation of storage
stocks. Butter is put away mainly on
borrowed money, and they believe that
the hanks, because of the Government
suit, will require an immediate, or at
least an early, settlement with the
borrowers. This would throw a great
deal of butter on the market suddenly
and might thoroughly demoralize
prices.
This is what is now being done In
the Eastern egg market. The calling
of loans has dumped hundreds of
thousands of storage eggs on the mar
kets and unsettled prices of fresh as
well as held eggs. In Portland fresh
ranch eggs have declined 10 cents a
dozen In little over a week, the whole
sale price now being 36 cents, while
storage eggs can hardly be sold at any
price. The retailers, .however, have not
vet given Portland consumers the ben
efit of the drop, some o. the stores
still asking 60 cents for Oregon eggs.

POST PUT FORWARD
War Department to Ask Con
gress to Buy Site at
American Lake.
VANCOUVER NOT AFFECTED
Proposal Is to Continue Barracks on
Columbia and at'Fort Lawton as
at Present and to Use. New
Grounds for Maneuvers.
OKEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Dec. 16. The War Department
has under considaratlon a new scheme
for the development of a brigade post
in the Pacific Northwest which prob
ably will be put through if Congress
wiir come forward with the necessary
authority and appropriations.'
In brief, tho plan proposes a con
tlnuunce of Vancouver Barracks and.
of Fort Lawton, noar Seattle, and the
huildinir ur of a new regimental post
at American Lake which shall, at the
same time, be large enough ror a per
manent, brigade maneuver ground.
Various officers of the army who
have studied the military situation' tn
the Northwest have without exception
reached the conclusion that it 1s advis
able to maintain both Vancouver Bar
racks and Fort Lawton. But these
same officers agree that it would be
In. the interest of the army to have a
big maneuver ground where troops
from both posts could be concentrated
at intervals for field practice.
American Lake Site Ideal.
American Lake, where Joint maneu
vers have been held for several years,
Is" regarded as an ideal site for con
centration and field drill and It is now
seriously proposed that Congress snail
miike an anDronriatlon for the purchase
of the entire American Lake site and
for its permanent improvement.
Officers of the War Deportment
recommend that a permanent regimen
tal post bo built up at American LiKe,
fter the site Is acquired by the uov-
ernment. and recommend that Fort
Lawton be converted into a regimental
post.
If this plan is approved by Congress
American Lake would be used for Joint
maneuvers during tne summer
months, as in the past.
Abandonment Held Inadvisable.
Tn the iudement of army officers
who are nosted it would be inndvisable
for the Government to abandon either
Vancouver Barracks or ort lawton,
for both are regarded as being excep
tionally well located, accessible to big
cities and to means of transportation
by land Hnd by sea. Tn this respect
they are more fortunate than most
army posts. It is felt that neither
post should be built up at tne expense
of the other.
Carrying out of this scheme is de
pendent entirely upon Congress. The
War Department can of its own initia
tive continue both Vancouver Barracks
and Fort Lawton at their present
capacity, but it cannot enlarge either
without appropriations, nor can it ac
quire the American Lake site unless
purchase is authorized by Congress and
monev made available and it may prove
difficult for some time, at least, to
secure the necessary tunas to Duy
and improve the American Lake prop
erty. Nevertheless the views of the
War Department are to be made
known to Congress ana tne appropria
tion will be asked for.
DEMOCRATS WILL INSURGE
(Continued From First Pag.)
as he takes up the questions of legisla
tion. The 'leaders in the Democratic "in
surgent" movement, .assert that at least
27 of the 49 Democratic Senators in tho
next Congress will -supportMhelr view
of the "progressive programme." They
estimate that at least 17 of the 36
"holdover" . Senators will align ' them
selves with the reorganization element
and that a majority of the Incoming
Democrats will Join them.
Committee Places Are Issue.
The fight for places on the Important
Senate committees is an Integral part
of the new movement. The insurgent
Democratic forces probably will demand
a fair distribution of places among new
and old members on the five leading
committees appropriations, finance,
foreign relations, judiciary and inter
state commerce and a similar distribu
tion on the five next Important com
mittees commerce, military affairs,
naval affairs, postoffice and agricul
ture. Such arrangement would change the
seniority system by which the older
Senators have the choice of places and
often hold commanding positions on
several of the leading committees.
Older Membem Affected. .
Senators Identified with the move
ment refused to outline today the
extent to whicii reorganization might
affect Democrats ot ldng service like
Senators Tillman, Simmons, Overman,
Martin, Culberson, Bacon and Johnston.
Senator Owen, however, said that. In the
case of a member of the Senate who
has the choice at present of a number
of Important places, "we would give
a Senator thus situated one good place
and then distribute the other desirable
appointments."
A general conference late in Febru
ary, to take in the new Senators, is
now In contemplation by the men iden
tified with the reorganization move
ment. - If the control of committees is
established It Is generally understood
that the Democrats who term them
selves the progressives will then under
take to direct legislation.

also cast the first vote of the election.
Most of tho women knew Just how they

some two hours after she voted and
asked the judge If she might have her
