IN former days the lawyer
wore a gown of a characteristic
cut; people knew he was a lawyer
by the clothes he wore. Nowadays
the lawyer or doctor wears simply
good looking clothes; you can't tell
by his dress what he is banker,
business man, professional man.
Greater Efficiency of Service
State Railroad Commission's
, Aim in Making Changes.
COMPLAINTS CAUSE ACT
AND
iuontniy Average Total Ileatinz
Valne of 6 00 British Thermal
TJnits Cubic Foot Is Require-
mcnt for AH Companies.
SALEM, Or., June 4. (Special.) An
nouncement of new rules adopted by
the State Railroad Commission will re.
suit, it is believed, in the Portland Gas
Company and companies furnishing gas
in other cities giving much better serv
ice. The rules were adopted after the
Commissioners had made an investiga
tion of conditions in the metropolis and
elsewhere.
The rules state in part:
"Every gas utility must supply gas
which shall have a monthly average
total heating value of not less than 600
British thermal units per cubic foot, as
referred to the standard conditions of
temperature and pressure when tested
at a point within a radius of one mile
of the manufacturing works, and also
in case the gas is manufactured outside
the city, when tested at any point
within the city near the center of con
sumption. Minimum Average Stated.
"The total heating value of the gas
ftt any such points shall never fall be
low 550 British thermal units per cubic
foot; provided, that for the period of
Bix months after the taking effect of
these rules, unless the Commission
shall otherwise order, the minimum
monthly average required shall be 550
British thermal units, and the minimum
at any time shall not fall below 525
British thermal units per cubic foot.
"In obtaining the monthly average,
the results of all testT of heating value
made on any day during the calendar
month shall be averaged and the aver
age of all such daily averages obtained
therefrom."
it has been alleged that the gas fur
nished in Portland has nothing like an
average total heating value of 600
British thermal units per cubic foot,
and as a result, many complaints have
been made to the Commission.
Provision is made that every gas
meter, whether new, repaired, or re
moved from service for any cause, shall
be adjusted to be correct within 1 per
cent when passing gas at six cubic feet
an hour, according to rated light ca
pacity, before being installed for use
f any customer.
Meter Teat Fees Announced.
A provision is made that all meters
must be tested within a specified
period from the time of installment. The
pressure of gas as measured at the out
let of the service pipe to any customer
shall never be less than equivalent to
two inches of water pressure, and shall
never be greater than equivalent to
fcix Inches of water pressure unless the
customer agrees in writing to a dif
ferent pressure.
Fees for meter tests made by the
Commission are as follows: For each
Kas service meter not exceeding 10
lights capacity, $2; not exceeding 45
lights capacity, $4; all others, $S.
The Commission also announced the
following fees for meter tests of elec
tricity: For each single phase or con
tinuous current meter having a voltage
rating of not exceeding 250 volts and a
current capacity not exceeding 25
amperes, without having Instrumental
transformers, $2; for other electricity
meters having a capacity not exceeding
100 amperes, Si; for all other electricity
meters. $8.
HINDUS" PLEA ANSWERED
Detained Imlgrants Have Two Years'
Supplies, Says Agent.
VANCOUVER, B. C, June 4. Com
menting today on the appeal of the 376
detained Hindus to King George, in
which they say they are starving and
dying of thirst, C. Gardiner Johnson,
agent of the Komagata Maru, which
brought the East Indians from Asia,
says:
"Before leaving Yokohama the Hin
dus provisioned the ship with their
own edibles, a supply sufficient to last
two years. Some of the food was dam
aged by salt water on the way over,
but most of it is still good. Two hun
dred tons of fresh water in a scow
was sent out yesterday. The talk of
a hunger strike, is preposterous. The
Hindus are trying 'to make the govern
ment feed them."

"MOTHER " JONES.
CANADIAN BAR 10 UP
Mother Jones Prevented From
Going to Strike Scene.
WASHINGTON APPEAL MADE
Defeated in Plan to Address Strikers
at Xanuiino, lyabor Sympathizer
Kays She "Will Return to
Colorado From Seattle.
SEATX.E. Wash., June 4. "Mother"
Mary Jones, who was prevented by a
Canadian Immigration official from
boarding a steamer for Vancouver, B.
C, today, announced tonight that she
would leave for Denver tomorrow. She
said she would continue her work in
connection with the Colorado coal
strike pending action on her ' appeal
to Secretary of Labor Wilson to ob
tain consent from the Canadian gov
ernment for her to go to Nanalmo, B.
C, to address members of the United
Mine Workers of America, who have
been on strike several months.
"Mother" Jones, who had purchased
a ticket to Vancouver, presented her
self at the gangplank of the steamer
and was subjected to the usual ques
tioning by a Canadian Immigration in
spector. Asked if she was an Ameri
can citizen, she replied:
"Yes, and proud of it." She gave
Ireland as her birthplace. The inspec
tor looked at her ticket and said, ac
cording to Mrs. Jones:
"You're not going to Vancouver.
You're going to Nanaimo to kick tip
a disturbance among the miners, and
you can't go." The inspector would
make no further explanation, and she
was obliged to step aside. Frank Far
rington. member of the international
executive board of the United Mine
Workers of America, who had been act
ing as representative of the board in
the Vancouver Island strike district
for two years, at once sent the fol
lowing dispatch to Secretary of Labor
Wilson, in Washington:
"Mother Jones was prohibited by
Canadian immigration authorities from
embarking from this port when she
attempted to take ship this morning
for Vancouver Island, where she was
going to address, by their request, the
striking miners, who are members of
the United Mine Workers of America.
Our information is she was stopped by
instructions of chief of provincial po
lice. We have had matter up with
Canadian immigration authorities, who
advise they will not admit her without
instructions from Ottawa. We ask that
you set the proper machinery to work
at once to see that 'Mother Jones is
accorded every right she is entitled to
as an American citizen."
The Canadian authorities refused to
permit Joseph Ettor, organizer of the
Industrial Workers of the World, to
cross the line into British Columbia
last year.

LIQUOR ELECTION TANGLED
Irregularities May Take Nez Perce
Case Into Courts.
LEWISTON, Idaho. June 4. (Spe
cial.) The canvass by the County Com
missioners of Nez Perce County of the
local option election held here May 27
has been found to be irregular. Every
precinct in the county with the excep
tion of four has been found to be in
complete or without signature, which
will necessitate a delay of from five to
10 days to determine whether the WJts
or drys have a majority.
At the headquarters of the licensed
saloon forces it was contended that
there 's no question but that the gross
Irregularities of the anti-saloon votes
would give the victory to the wets by
a large majority.
The prohibitionists, while admitting
some irregularities, declare there were
between 60 and 75 illegal votes credited
to the wets, and that they will carry
the question to the highest courts for
settlement.
RACE WITH DEATH LOST

CENTRALIA, Wash.. June 4. (Spe

months ago for her health, but being
told by a physician that the end was
near, expressed a wish to die at home.
Her husband started for Seattle with
her, coming up through California.
When the Shasta reached Castle
Rock, a railroad physician boarded the
train and told the husband his wife

tem Made by Judge Zent Promises
to Meet Strongr Opposition.

be put into effect are preparing to op
pose it by a resolution in convention
and by Instructing the delegates to the
state convention to vote against the
plan.

county convention and either obtain
permission to hold the advisory con
vention or have a plank Inserted in the
county platform asking for an amend
ment of the direct primary law. which
he strongly criticises. Spokane Coun
ty Republicans have divided on the
matter and several candidates have de
