UNMERGING HELD WISE
Regulated Monopoly Viewed as T'ar
Preferable to Irresponsible and
XT n res a la led Competition Road
Said to Be Innocent.
SAN" FRANCISCO. March 14. Lieutenant-Governor
Eshlenian. ex-president
of the State Railroad Commission,
succored the cause of the Southern Pa
cific Company Saturday when he took
the witness stand for the defense in the
Government's Central Pacific-Southern
Pacific railroads unmerglng suit.
He was the last witness to be called
by the defense in the proceedings here
which have continued for a fortnight,
and which were adjourned today to re
convene April la in New York City.
Mr. Eshleman gave his views upon
the proposed separation of the two
roads in this language:
"Regulated monopoly is preferrable
to irresponsible and unregulated compe
tition." Eshleman declared that i his opinion
an unmerging of the Central Pacific
and Southern Pacific roads would re
sult only in throwing the present rail
road system In California sadly out of
joint, and that as a consequence the
present efficiency of the lines would
be lowered, while in all probability
rates would be advanced. Joint agree
ments between the divorced roads
would, however, overcome these ill
effects, the witness said.
lie said that the Railroad Commis
sion disapproved the sale of the Cen
tral Pacific in 1913 to the Union Paci
fic because the Commission thought
that the Union Pacific was the offend
Jnsr party, and that the Southern Pa
cific was an innocent victim.
"Ownership in Central Pacific and
Southern Pacific terminals In California
Is so tangled." said the Lieutenant-Governor,
"that it would be difficult to
separate it into equitable portions. If
this were done, the road owning the
terminals would assess the other roadj
every cent possible for the use of them.
"The upshot of a separation proba
bly would be that present terminal fa
milies would have to be duplicated out
of capital investment, which would be
a legitimate argument before a Cali
fornia Railroad Commission for in
creased rates."
tiff were correct This is the substance
of the reply brief filed in the Circuit
Court Saturday by Mannix & Sullivan,
attorneys for Dr. Parker, who is well
known throughout- the country ai
"Painless" Parker.
" Ralph E. Moody, attorney for Hume,
made a motion the other day for a
non-suit, after three or four days had
been consumed In direct evidence.
"In order for the court to grant the
non-suit." says the brief, "it must ap
uear from the evidence already Intro
duced that the libelous matter is true;-
that is, it must, as a matter or law,
appear that Dr. Parker, or Painless
Parker, is a 'charlatan," that he has been
arrested and convicted as a law
breaker, etc."
In conclusion the contention Is made
that the Jury should be instructed that
the burden of proof is upon the de
fendant to Justify the publication of
the alleged libelous statements.
Dr. Parker says also that the editor
of the Spectator, is eager to have the
case non-suited so that it may era
harass Parker in his forthcoming cam
paign for the State Senate, for which
office he already has announced his
candidacy.

It. F. St Marie, the 19-year-old
"prep" school football player, son of
Mrs. Blanche St. Marie, a widow living
at SO East Eighteenth street north, was
taken into custody by the police Saturday
night charged with larceny. Accord
ing to Detectives Hill and Leonard,
who made the arrest, the boy has made
a practice of buying articles at differ
ent stores about the city and charging
them to friends who be knew bad ac
counts at the stores.
The arrest took place in the Meier 4t
Frank store about 6 o'clock last night
after he had made a purchase and or
dered It charged.
SL Marie told Detective Hill that he
had been making a practice of obtain
ing articles in this way for almost a
year. When questioned as to his rea
sons for so doing he refused to talk.
Among the things he had charged are
candy, cookies, toilet articles, gloves,
shoes, neckties and other articles of
wearing apparel.
One of the articles which he was
accused of purchasing in this manner
was a silver pie anite. Tina, ne de

the Columbia University, where he -formerly
starred on the football team.
Following his arrest he was ordered
held in Jail by Detective Captain Baty
until his mother could be notified.
Portland will have no jitney legisla
tion until after the regular city elec
tion in June if the threats made by
representatives of the Jitney Interests
are carried out. It is said tne jitney
people propose to circulate petitions te
invoke the referendum on any ordi
nance the Council may pass, regardless
of its contents. This will mean the
holding up of the measure until it can
b voted upon by the voters at the June
election.
Specific objections have been, made
by the jitney interests against prac
tically all 'of the provisions of the
pending ordinance which would tend to
curb the operations of the machine. If
these are eliminated it is said by the
anti-Jitney Interests that there will be
no more regulation than there is now.
If they are not eliminated it is con
tended by the jitney Interests that they
will work hardships on the jitney busi
ness and for that reason, they will at
tempt to have the voters knock out the I
ordinance.
The jitney people have made specific
and public objection to -provisions of
the ordlance which would prevent over
crowding of jitneys, would require them
to operate on definite schedule, wouia
Drohiblt them- from changing their
routes at will, would limit them to
five cent fare, would require them to
have any inspection of tneir machines
or make anv Drovislon for tne protec
tion of the public in case 01 acciaent.
and would keep them from operating
on Washington and Morrison streets w
the business center of the West side.
The Council, in finally considering
the litnev measure, will take into con
sideration the probability of the refer
endum beine invoked. Whether or not
it will be made more or less arasti
than it is now is uncertain. Th
Council says it would be a calamity
for the Jitneys to continue to operate
without regulation and this might be
th result of the enactment or too se
vcre regulation. It is feared that If
the measure is too severe the Jltneyi
mln-ht Be able to get tne mtmuio uj
fented at the June election, in tnis
event should another measure be enact
ed It would have to go over' for two
years before being voted upon again
if the Jitneys again should invoke the
referendum.
Commissioner Daly declares that pud
lie nninlon is in favor of tne jitneys.
and if the Council wishes to regulate
the business it should not go too 6trong.
Otherwise, he says, the ordinance mignt
be knocked out by the voters.

WAY, ANGLED INTO "FRAT"
Lincoln Student Uses Doughnut as
Bait on Down-Town Corner.
With a fishing pole and line and with

the Lincoln High School, between 7and 8
against the wishes of the bridegroom,
Nancy Bevlngton. aged 85, formerly of
Bevington, near Burgettstown, Pa.
now of Sharpsburg, and James Conkle,
aged 82, of Beaver Falls, Pa., will meet
in court to decide the legality of the
nuptials long forgotten by Conkle, but
still vivid in the mind of Miss Beving
ton.
In her suit filed against Conkle. Miss
Bevington charges the former with de
sertion and non-support.
According to Attorney Walter Dip
pie, counsel for Miss Bevington, Conkle
met Miss Bevington while working in
1857 on an old mill near her home. The
couple fell in love, but were separated
about two weeks after the meeting,
Conkle accepting a position in Ohio.
Shortly afterward a brother of Miss
Bevington went to Conkle and per
suaded the latter to attend what pur
ported to be a party in the Bevington
home. Conkle accepted the Invitation.
When he reached the farm in Wash
ington County Conkle found plans had
been arranged for his marriage to Miss
Bevington. By pre-arrangement a
Justice of the Peace was present.
Conkle was asked to join hands with
Miss Bevington, but1 he refused. De
spite his objection the Justice pro
nounced the couple man and wife.
"No, we are not man and wife,"
Conkle exclaimed.
He left next day and went to West
Virginia. It is said he neither saw nor
heard from Miss Bevington until 1892,
when she wrote to him. Still he re
fused to acknowledge he was her hus
band. '
Conkle was married in 1862. His wife
died eight months afterward. Again
in 1866 he was married, that time to
Miss McKaig, of this city. They had
six sons, the eldest of whom is SO years
old.
The plaintiff In the suit alleges the
ceremony of more than half a century
ago was performed in a legal manner,
and by a regularly commissioned Jus
tice of the Peace. She received no
marriage, certificate.

OREGONIAN NEWS BURHA.U, Wash
ington. March 12. Among; the bills to
go down to defeat at the recent session
of Congress was the 640-acre stock-
raising- homestead bill, which passed
the House some weeks ago ana ianea
in the Senate In the last hours be
cause of the objection of Senator
Walsh, of Montana. The backers of
the stock-raising; bill did not have an
opportunity to bring It up until tne
session was about to close because
more important business claimed the
right of way after the shipping bill
filibuster ended and when the bill was
called up by Senator Sterling, it had to
be considered by unanimous consent.
Senator Walsh would not agree.
The 640-acre homestead bill was not
Intended to aoolv to agricultural lands,
but to dry lands or other lands not suit
able for cultivation, wnicn wouia ds
valuable for grazing. INor did wis Din
rponire the homesteader to reside on
his homestead, for it recognized the fact
that lands that would come under sucn
a law would not be such as would sus

believed that their measure would lead

which will not be entered under any

BALD? STUDYMUSIC, PLEA
Boston Doctor Says Harmony Makes
the Hair Grow.
. BOSTON. March 3. Dr. K. Kenrick
Smith, a prominent Back Bay physi
cian, says that the love of their art,
the tranquillity, the peace, the har
mnnv and the iov of music is what
makes musicians' hair grow long, and
nrovxnta them from getting Daia
headed. '
Tir Smith savs:
"If frieht or grief will turn the
hair white, which we all know some
times occurs, why is it not perfectly
logical to assume that the opposite
ntnmn. that Is. the tranquillity, peace
harmony and joy of music, would tend
tn nrnduce an opposite result?
"An expert statistician, after months
of labor, announces that only one of
everv hundred devotees of music Is
hairless, while in every other profes
sion. eleven in every one hundred are
bald. This may, in part, be due to the
habit traditional to musicians of al
wavs brushing the hair backward.
"Professional men, as a rule, keep
their hair cut short, and are such
slaves to their barbers that they keep
it plastered down smoothly. Wearing
tight, stiff, hard-rimmed hats accentu
ates this still further, and the hair is
pressed down flatter and bound to the
top of the head in a firm, vice-like
pressure.
"The musician whose hair Is brushed
carelessly backward always has tne
habit of running his fingers through
It. which stimulates healthy activity
and circulation In the scalp."
