BEET MEN'S ACTIVITY SHOWN
Efforts to Influence Press Not
Always Successful.
TRAVELS ARE DESCRIBED
Man Who Went About Country Being
Interviewed Complains of Fall

Accomplish- Results.
TTASHINGTON, June 17. The trail of
"the lobby" the Senate has been.fol
lowing more than two weeks led to
day Into the private files of the men
In charge of the "Washington offices of
the United States beet sugar industry,
the leading Instrument of the campaign
against free sugar, and by originals of
letters and telegrams and. what pur
ported to be copies of others, developed
testimony of what appeared to be an
attempt at a far-reaching campaign to
create public sentiment against free
sugar through the columns of Individual
newspapers and the facilities of press
associations.
It was a trail so long, so complicated
f pnd so winding that after more than
two hours of patient effort the com
mittee had succeeded in reading into
its record only a small part of the mass
of correspondence which Senators be
lieved had produced the most sensa
tional evidence yet developed.
"Industry" Succeeds "Association."
By subpena duces tecum the com
mittee got possession of copies of let
ters and telegrams of Clarence C.
Hamlin, a Colorado Springs, Colo.,
newspaper owner and beet sugar man,
in charge of the Washington offices of
the American Beet Sugar Association
two years ago. The papers Included
what purported to be carbop copies of
letters, unsigned, but furnished as
genuine by Harry A. Austin, a. clerk In
the offices of Truman G. Palmer, rep
resentative of the United' States beet
sugar Industry. The "industry" suc
ceeded the "association" about two
years ago, and. Palmer succeeded
Hamlin In charge.
While the committee was after the
private papers. Palmer, after confer
ence with Senator Clark, of Wyoming,
Hamlin's uncle, was telegraphing Ham
lin urging him to get a lawyer to repre
sent his interests. The committee had
knowledge of that and hurried the let
ters into the record without regard to
consequence. More than 70 had been
read when adjournment was taken to
night. .
Those read Into the record were di
rected to managers of beet sugar com
panies, officers of the American Beet
Sugar Association and friends of Ham
lin. Indicating that Hamlin at the time
of their writing was an active figure
In a campaign to organize support for
the protection of the beet sugar In
dustry and secure publicity against
tariff reduction.
Some told of Hamlin's traveling to
large cities, giving out Interviews;
others written in Washington Indicated
that he was attempting to circulate
matter In defense of a sugar , duty
through newspapers, the Associated
Press and other channels, to offset
what he thought misleading statements
put out by sugar refiners. The text in
ri lea ted that his attempts at publicity
had not always been as successful as
he had hoped. Other letters referred
to a plan launched by Hamlin to have
the large beet sugar companies take
. over $35,000,000 In bonds of the Chicago
Inter-Ocean.
Other letters disclosed attempts to
Interest big railroad systems in the
anti-free sugar campaign and to have
professors of agricultural colleges ap
pear, before the committees 'of Con
gress with arguments favorable to the
beet sugar men.
Intervleirs Not Sent Out.
None of the letters disclosed that the
railroads had been Interested or that
the great news agencies had been ex
tensively used or that the Inter-Ocean
bonds had been bought. Letters In
troduced did show that sugar men had
been dissatisfied with their efforts to
get "interviews" carried by the Asso
ciated Press.
Attempts Often Unsuccessful.
Two telegrams were exchanged be
tween Hamlin. Senator Clark, and Tru
man G. Palmer. The first of these,
given out by Palmer after the commit
tee adjourned tonight, read:
"Senate Sergeant-at-arms has' re
quired Austin to produce box said to
contain your private and business pa
pers. Have talked with your uncle and
we suggest you should wire retaining
attorney to protect ' your rights under
fourth amendment to the Constitution
until you arrive."
Hamlin's telegram In reply, sent to
hia uncle. Senator Clark, was given
to the committee. It said:
"Have wire from Palmer suggesting
retain attorney to prevent delivery of
ray papers to committee. Austin, on
whom service is made, may have some
of my private correspondence or pa-1
pers. but so far as- I remember, there
notning among them which I would
object to being made public."
The correspondence covered much of
1911 and the early part of 1912. when

Spiritual Training Neglected Be
cause Workers Won't Go When.
They Cannot Afford, to Pay.
KANSAS CITY, June 17. Working
girls of Kansas City suffer from lack
of spiritual training because, as a rule,
they are too proud to attend church
services when they do not earn enough
to permit them to drop a dime in the
contribution basket, according to test!
mony today by Miss Louise Mittlestadt,
organiser of the Woman's Trade Union
League, at the opening session of the
State Senate inquiry into Kansas City
wage conditions. Miss Mittlestadt said
the churches were responsible for this
condition.
"The girl who must support herself
by working in factory or laundry,
after paying, room rent, board, carfare
and other necessary expenditures has
not a cent that she can contribute to
ward the church," Miss Mittlestadt
said. "One la expected, to contribute
if 'she goes to church; the church ex
pects It, and the average factory girl
cannat give it."
Miss Mittlestadt told of. her expert
ences working In a laundry and. a
feather factory.
At the feather factory," she said, "the
girls are paid by the piece scale, with a
guarantee of $3, which tew of them
ever, are able to exceed. The laundry
work in Kansas City is the worst of
all. The highest paid in most of the
laundries here is $6 a week flat salary
rate."
Miss Nan Sperry, In the employ of
the city factory inspector, testified that
social caste plays a prominent part in
influencing girls in the work they
choose.
'The girl wants to be independent,"
she said, "and working in theyhouse
hold of another does not permit much
of that. Perhaps it is because of those
facts that the servant is looked, down
on by the factory girl, who in turn
considered by the shop girl as just
a little below her own level.
"But the .shop girl is looked down
upon by the stenographer and so up
through the whole scale."
VERDICT FOR ARREST $800
Mrs. Mary Hammer Wins
Suit
Against Policeman Wells.
Judgment for $800 for false arrest
against M. B. Wells, & policeman, and
the National Surety Company, which
furnished his bond, was given Mrs.
Mary Hammer, of 1107 A-lbina avenue,
by a Jury in Judge Caulklns' special
department of the Multnomah County
Circuit Court yesterday.
The woman sued to recover $5100, al
leging that the-patrolman had broken
into her home on the. night of August
25. 1912, without a warrant and had
forced her to accompany him to the
police station and remain several
hours.' she alleged fatal results to an
unborn child.
In answer the policeman contended
that he heard the woman's husband,
who had come home drunk, beating and
abusing her and broke into the house
for the purpose of preventing a breach
of the peace. He said that Mrs. Ham
mer voluntarily had accompanied him
and her husband to the police station.

GLENDALE, Or., June 17. (Special.)
Representative J. K. Howard, of
Olendale, who is vice-president of the
Glendale Bank, robbed by the boy des
perado, Ray Diamond, pleaded with
Sheriff Quine not to pursue the fugitive
over the mountain trails and tonight
that officer and his posse returned.
Mr. Howard Informed Sheriff Quine that
he considered Diamond slightly de
mented and that the officers of the
bank would refuse to prosecute him
should he be captured.
It is Mr. Howard's belief that Dia
mond eventually ' will return to Glen
dale and seek the advice of his father.
The officers differ with Mr. Howard,
however, and are of the opinion that
Diamond is prepared for any emergency
that may arise and will resist capture
to the extent of being killed. When
Diamond left Glendale he had about
$300 other than that secured at the
bank.
The Glendale bank has offered a re
ward of S100 for the capture of the
fugitive. This reward will be swelled
considerably by the National Bankers'
Association, of which the Glendale State

FESTIVAL VISITORS 30,000
Railroads Make Report on Travel
During Rose Week.
Revised reports made by the various
railroads operating out of Portland
show that the passenger movement for
the Rose Festival last week was the
heaviest in the history of the Festival
aggregating approximately 30.000 vis
itors for the week.
It is apparent, however, that this
crowd was not all here at the sanie
nme. as tne movement was falrlv well
uiairiDutea tnrough the week, the out
bound travel being almost as heaw on
the evening of the first day as at th
close of the week. It is understood
that many persons living within easv
traveling distance of Portland returned
to their homes each evening.
festival travel this year, railroad
men declare, has broken all records.
and was exceeded only at the time of
the Elks' convention last year and the
Lewis and Clark exposition seven years

UNMERGING PLAN OPENS WAY
Union Pacific Proposal Links
Up Baltimore & Ohio.
EFFECT ON TRAFFIC SEEN
Trade of Southern Pacific Stock to
Pennsylvania System Would Mean
w Vork-to-Portland Road
Tnder One Ownership.
If the Union Pacific succeeds In its
plan to dissolve the Harrlman merger
by trading $38,000,000 worth of its
Southern Pacific holdings to the Penn
sylvania railroad for S42.oon nnn rt
Baltimore & Ohio stock the ambition
of the great financiers to -effect a
transcontinental rail line extending
from the Atlantic to the Pacific will
have been realized.
Such a line, while It misht not h .
under one direct operating head, would
have a common control of stock, and
would extend from Portland on the
west to Jersey City and New York cifv
on the east.
Value of Plan Apparent.
Although the Union Pacific nrrioi,i.
deny that their plan of adding to their
present holdings of Baltimore & Ohio
stock is for the purpose of ..n,Hi,.
control of a line between Chicago and
w.o Auantic seaboard, the fact remains
that possession of this stock will
a controlling factor in Influencing the
movement of traffic east of Chicago.
The Union Pacific's present control of
tne O.-W. K. & N. Comnanv I. 1
only through stock ownership.
J. N. Teal, attorney for the Portland
Chamber of Commerce, contends that
acquisition of this 42,080.000 worth of
fh- r.nif hl 8tock' toother with
the 140,000,000 of this Issue th.
now owns, will give the Union Pacific
38 per cent of the stock, or working
control of the Baltimore & Ohio.
wnai would this mean?

It would mean that h tti r,.

Chicago, and In the Chicago & Alton
between Kansas City and Chicago
The Union Pacific now own, i?o inn -
I 000 of Illinois Central stock and 110 -
""i"" ,Jl -nicago c Alton stock.
It Is understood that the Union Pa
cific now Is a strong factor In forming
the policies of the Illinois Central. At
one time Mr. Harrlman had complete
control of the Chicago & Alton, and
without any more stock ownership than
that of the Union Pacific at present.
I n ton's Povrer Widespread.
So it Is certain that should the Union
Pacific desire to assert its power over
the Alton and the Illinois Central it
could make that power sufficiently
great to govern those two roads.
Then, with the Baltimore & Ohio
ownership, it would have a complete
connection between the Atlantic and the
Pacific.
But unless the Union Pacific gains
control of the Central Pacific as a re
sult of the Harrlman unmerglng it is
not probable that control of such a
transcontinental rail line will be ef
fected immediately. It is commonly un.
derstood that San Francisco Is the
Union Pacific's favorite connection on
the Pacific. It was for the mere pur
pose of gaining an entrance Into San
Francisco that Mr. Harrlman ever
bought the 126,000,000 worth of South
ern Pacific stock the same stock that
the Supreme Court of the United States
receutly ordered the Union Pacific to
sell.
Harriman's Coup Explained.
Mr. Harrli-Brfi needed the Central Ta-
clflo. to get from Ogden, where his
Union Pacific terminated. Into San
Francisco. The Southern Pacific owned
the Central Pacific, so in order to get
the Central Pacific he bought the
Southern Pacific. In that way he ad
ministered a telling blow to his more
or less aggressive rival, George Gould.
The Goulds own the Denver & Rio
Grande, which also terminates at Ogden.
Before Mr. Harrlman bought the
Southern Pacific the Central Pacific di
vided its business at Ogden between the
Denver & Itlo Grande and the Union
Pacific After the Harrlman purchase,
however, the Gould road got nothing
from the Central Pacific All the traf
fic went to the Union Pacific.
The Goulds later retaliated by build
ing the Western Pacific from Ogden to
San Francisco, but mec. while Mr. Har.
riman was dreaming of a great trans
continental line that would reach from
San Francisco and Portland on the Pa
cific shores to New York on the At
lantic. When he bought the Illinois
Central, the Chicago & Alton and the
Baltimore & Ohio stocks it was believed
that he Intended making these roads
the middle western links in this ocean,
to-ocean steel highway.
