TJT15 MORXTXG OREGOXTAX. THURSDAY, AmrL s, into. ' II. J. TEAL GOES TO PLEAD RATE CASE I . Chamber of Commerce Traffic Attorney Not Instructed to Protest at Reduction. ORTLAND IS IN DILEMMA Competition by Spokane Assured If '.New Schedule Goes Into Erfec-t. Belief Is Cities East or Inland Empire Will Hare Grievance. - 2 t J. N". Teal, traffic attorney for the Portland Chamber of Commerce, left Tuesday night for Washington, D. C, to Represent Portland shippers before the interstate Commerce Commission at the hearing of the transcontinental carriers for new westbound rates to Portland, Puget Sound terminals and Ulterior points. Frank W. Robinson, assistant traffic Manager for the O.-W. R. & X. Com pany, has gone to Chicago to join rep-rest-ntatives of the other railroads serving the Northwest at a conference preliminary to the Washington meet ing. While this case is one of the most Important that the Northwestern roads ana Northwestern shippers ever have lad before the Commission, it is not certain that Portland shippers will present a protest. Mr. Teal was not irstructed to protest when ne leit nere lust night V loam Interests in Jeopardy. ' The interests of Portland, Seattle and Tacoma will be seriously affected, i is pointed out by local traffic men. H the application of the carriers is granted. The carriers, in brief, propose to make the transcontinental rates to sijjokane on certain commodities mov i'r in large volume by water so low rliat the Portland jobbers, even with Mie advantage of Panama Canal com petition, will be unable to compete Wi'-h Hie Spokane jobbers in distribut ing goods over pari of the Inland mpire region. The rate schedule of the railroads proposes a reduction in both the ter minal rates and the interior rates, but the reduction to the interior is sub stantially greater than the reduction to the terminals. ; Because the reductions are to be Canted to the terminal cities, as well as to the interior points, Portland shippers contend that they cannot, with good grace, protest against the new rutcs. They contend that it would be inconsistent to object to reductions. j Original Flsht Kept lp. But the Portland interests have not riven up their tight on the lines laid down in the original Spokane rate case. They insist that Portland and the Pu-C-t Sound terminals should have the benefit of rail rates sufficiently low to. meet the water competition if the carriers want to grant them. But they declare that the theory of the Com mission In basing the Spokane rate on the Portland rate is wrong. They argue hat Spokane, which has no water com petition, should not be granted the advantage of water rates, tfp until the time of filing their rate schedule, which Is to be heard by the Commission next Monday, the car tiers supported the contentions of Portland, Seattle and Tacoma on this point- But their latest tactics indi cate that they have reversed them selves and that they now propose to make rates on the basis laid down by lite Commission in its decision in the Spokane case. Only, they are going further than the Commission went, hey are ignoring the maximum dif ferentials prescribed in the Spokane derision and are making the differ entials slight. " ;The carriers. It is understood, do not Intend to handle traffic to Portland tmrter the new rates In competition With Spokane. ' Portland's l'oattlon Reiterated. lf the Portland shippers intervene li the present case at all it will be for the purpose of reiterating Portland's position on this point. But a new element may come to Portland's aid. Investigation reveals tbat the proposed rates to Spokane will be lower than to Missoula, Butte and other points in Montana. It is considered probable that the Montana shippers will protest against this situation. '5 Many local shippers predict that the pT-osent efforts of the carriers to give Fpokane the benefit of water compe tition when water competition does int exist will force the Commission, sooner or later, to reverse itself in the Spokane case, give Portland and other Coast terminals the benefit of their natural advantages and fix the rfctes to Spokane and other interior points on a reasonable basis, regard less of what the rate to- Portland hap pens to be.

Both Henry Van Dyke, the American Minister to The Netherlands, and Gil ford Pinchot, atached to the American Legation, have endeavored to the ut most to keep the matter of Mr. Pin chot's expulsion from Belgium by the' Germans from publicity, lest such ac tion should make more difficult the work of relief. Mr. Pinchot, however, on learning to day that the incident had been pub lished, gave the Associated Press the following signed statement: "Some time ago I was asked by Her bert C. Hoover to become c member of the commission for relief in Belgium and to take charge of the feeding of the French in the invaded provinces north of the German lines. "I came to The Hague and reported immediately to Dr. Van Dyke by orders from Washington. "Dr. Van Dyke procured from the German Legation at The Hague the necessary papers for entering Belgium. On March 30 I went with my wife In a commission .-.utomobllo and was ac companied by a Brussels representa tive of the commission to the Belgian frontier, where my diplomatic and com mission passes were examined. After three hours' delay we were sent under an armed escort to Antwerp. "The next morning orders came from the German Governor-General, General von Bissing, that we were to leave Belgium without delay. No reason was assignee" for this action. "Before leaving, however, I received a letter from the American Minister at Brussels. Brand Whitlock, saying that the reason given Turn by General von Bissing for our expulsion -was my rela tionship to the British Minister at The Hague. Sir Alan Johnstone, who mar ried my sister. Accordingly, we re turned to Holland March 31. "In entering and . leaving Belgium Mrs. Pinchot and I we-e searched by the German military authorities." SISTERS ON WORD HBTWKKX? IX MARY ROELFS' MILL.

BRITISH COMMENT ON NOTE IS CANDID Government Declared Justlyi Open to Criticism Made by .United States. ENGLISHMEN ARE REBUKED Westminster Gazette Says American Government Is Not Called On to Testify to World Concerning German FHghtfulness." IIN'DO.V. Aoril 7. The Post, in an editorial, says of the American reply to the British note: rt Is cordially conceived and is phrased in lucid, moderate and logical terms, . Reviewing both notes, tne fosi re- r,.ofo that rrrear Rrttain saw lit to plead that its action was necessary as a reprisal for the, actions oi vjeruianj. adding: "Tha nrAtTt WAK DerhSUS U IU Of" U - nate. It laid open the British govern ment to the ironical retort, of course uttered by the United States, that His Majesty's Ministers could not possibly regard illegal action on their part as Justified by illegal action on the part of others." Concluding, the editorial laments the fact that "the order neither squares with nor is a substitute for the declara tion of Paris and London or The Hague conventions," and says: "If it is to replace them the fact should be formally stated." The Westminster Gazette, which is in close touch with the government, draws particular attention to that passage of the American note in reply to the British order-in-council. which reads: "The United State3 takes it for grant ed that the approach of American mer chantmen to neutral ports situated on the long line of coast affected by the order-in-council will not be interfered with when it is known that they do not carry goods which are contraband of war, or goods destined to or proceed ing from ports within the- belligerent territory affected." Commenting upon this statement, the Gazette says: lt is this passage which seems to contain the substance of the American communication and which interprets exactly the intentions pf the British and allied governments." Continuing the newspaper rebukes those Englishmen who think the American Government should "testify to the world against the violation of Belgium, infractions of The Hague conventions and other exhibitions of German frightf ulness," and brings its article to an end with these words: "The allied cause in Europe owes an immense debt to the moral and intel lectual support it has had from vast numbers of the American people, who see instinctively what is at stake in this conflict. In no neutral country has the allied cause been more warm ly supported or more forcibly presented by men of light ind learning. Let -us always be grateful for that and re frain from criticising a Government which has all manner of difficulties that cannot be rightly appreciated in this country."

The deadly "kiss germ" was a feature of the sec ond quadrennial University of Wiscon- sin exposition, a three days' student enterprise depicting "the university in a nutshell," which students declare is the greatest student undertaking ever attempted. The first of its kind oc curred in 1912. Eighty departments of the university are represented at the exposition by ex hibits. These will contain every possible exhibit of interest descriptive of the work of the university. The home economics department has a model house 24 feet square. The col lege of agriculture shows among 4ts hundreds of exhibits a model farm house, while the educational depart ment has built a model 40-pupil school room. How eggs can be fried on Ice, how municipalities are defrauded out of ma terial in roadbullding. how germs are carried through the air for ten feet by a sneeze, and how germs from a kiss will grow and enlarge when incubated are a few of thousands of exhibits and demonstrations at the exposition. More than 400 students have been active for three months preparing ex hihita which describe the work of the departments. Prize stock from the uni- j versity farm, mechanical aevices irum the engineering college, newspapers fresh off the press and printed on the exposition floor are additional features. JITNEY "TRAFFIC CURSE" H. P. COFFIN TELLS AUTO CLUB BUSES CAUSE MANY 1CASES. Directors Elected and Choice of C. C. Overmlre for New Head Now Seems Certain. - That Jitney drivers are a "curse" to the city as well as a detriment to the experienced drivers and automobile owners was the report given the Port land Automobile Club at its annual meeting at the Commercial Club Tues day night by H. P. Coffin, chairman of the public safety committee. "Before the inception of the Jitney business, traffic was fairly well under control said Mr. Coffin. "Of the 500 traffic cases argued in court during the past year, more than one-half have arisen within the past few months and about two-thirds of the latter have been jituey cases. "But there are about one-third less jitneys today than there were a month ago, anC the probability is that a large number will draw out in the near future. ' The club members last night elected the nominating committee slate: C C. overmire, Walter M. Cook, Jamefi D. Abbott, Ira F. Powers and John Kelly directors for a two-year term by unan imous vote. The club voted to request the County Commissioners to pave the center of the Morrison-street bridge and t pro vide more adequate lighting facilities on the Morrison and Hawthorne bridges. President Clemens reported that automobile owners will not be ar rested for allowing their unlighted ma chines to stand in front of brightly lighted buildings such- as theaters and churches. In reviewing the work of the club for the year, he explained the road and bridge improvements accom plished through the agency of the club and the influence exerted along legis lative Hues. The executive officers of the club were not chosen at last night's meet ing, but they will probably be elected at the next meeting of the new directo rate. It is generally understood that C. C. Overmire, general manager of the United States Steel Products Company, which has the contract for the work on the new interstate bridge, will be the choice for president. BUS PLAN )S HELD ATTEMPT TO INVOKE REFERENDUM IS DECLARED FOOLISH. Mnyor and Council In Favor of Early Vote of People on Jitney Regula tion, But Oppose Lons Tie-up. Jitney interests have no grounds on which to base their attempt to Inyoke the referendum on the regulation ordi nance passed by the City Council Tues day week, says Mayor Albee and other members of the Council. The city of ficials contend that the ordinance is not severe and that it should be kept. A decided stand will be taken by the Council to bring the question up to a vote at the coming election if the referendum as planned is invoked. Mayor Albee says that he considers the referendum plan foolish. "It is un believable almost that the jitney in terests should think the city should permit them to continue to operate without being required to give a rea sonable service or without anything being done to protect their passen gers,'" said Mayor Albee yesterday. "The Jitneys should favor regulation. The measure as it stands may have some bad features. These we promised to remedy as soon as they were found. The ordinance as passed here is far less severe than similar measures passed in other cities." Commissioner Daly, who prepared the jitney ordinance, declares it too mild. "They say this measure will hurt them," said Mr. Daly. "If that is so, the jitneys in other cities would have been put out of business long ago, for the exactions elsewhere are much more severe than in Portland." The majority of the members of the Council are in favor of submitting the measure to the voters in June under the initiative if a referendum is in voked by petition. By the referendum route the question would not come up before the people for two years from June because tomorrow is the last day for the filing of referendum petitions for the June election this year. If the referendum is invoked, the Council proposes to repeal the ordi nance and to submit another to the voters under the initiative. The Council has until the middle of next month to do this. The Jitneys have until May 2 to file their referendum petitiion. GIRL, GAGGED, TIED TO POLE Pretty Lass Target of "Black Hand" Letters In Critical Condition. B1CKXELL, Ind., April 2.

And the employment bureau hasn't- finished its mission. 350 Meals Served Dally. In the Winter between 700 and 800 meals were served daily at Scadding House and now the average is 350 daily. Good meals they are, too. With Chaplain F. K. Howard, I dined. on a well-cooked and seasoned dish of beans and all the buttermilk I wanted. The bill was 5 cents. I might have taken a "Double Johnson stew," or i miffu o , H t-ir- mime nork some lamu ---- ' and beans or German egg noodles and : . 1 ..9 thaco irmllH haVA been I served bread and coffee. The stew is a savory dish that is named in honor of the cook. About the big living-room are small tables where the men play cards or read Books and magazines are there at their disposal. A piano stands in the corner, and when some one hap pens in to play some lively airs, the men are delighted.

But Johnson is a good cook. Upstairs there are SO bedrooms, each with two clean beds. - Everything in the place is clean. The shower bath is the important feature. Everyone has to take a bath and everyone is given a clean nightshirt. And the boys like it. The old theory about "Weary Willy" disliking the water has been exploded at Scadding House. There are seven free beds, but for the others 15 cents Is the charge. Men In Need Find Home.
