4 THE MOKSTXG OEEGOXIAN, FEIDAY, JAJTUAEY 21, 1916. BRIEF HI L PROTEST IS FILED Portland Producers Declare , Discriminating Rates Now Vl Limit Their Market. AMERICAN VICTIMS OF VILLA'S BANDITS AND BORDER CITY WHERE DISTURBANCE RESULTS. READJUSTMENT IS ASKED Apparent deduction Xot Heal When Considered In Connection With - I Others, Which Give Effect of Kclatire Increase. OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash Ington. Jan. 20. In an exhaustive brief filed with the Interstate Commerce . Commission, various Portland lumber companies set forth the grounds on which they are basing their fiKht on me readjustment or lumber rates from Portland and other Oregon points along; me coutnern acmc to points in Cal ifornia between San Francisco and 'd 'the orth California district. .trior to -May 2, 1S15, the rate on lumber from the Willamette Valley and Portland to Northern California was So cents per hundred pounds. From some of the Valley points from which the rate of 17 cents now applies, however, the rate was" higher than from Portland. On May 2 the 174 cent rate was applied from Valley points. Other Rates Reduced More. ivnne me rate irom Portland was reduced 3i cents, or from 25 to iH4 cents per hundred, pounds, it is true, ays the brief, that the rate from prac tically every other producing point on tne :outnern jyacinc In Oregon was reduced Tii to 10 cents, with the ex ception of the rate ore rough green lumber to San Francisco. It is shown that a large number of points from which the large reductions were made are farther from destina tion than Portland, and the traffic handled to some of them involves as many as three train services and the haul of empties from Portland to the originating point and a haul of the load back through Portland to destl ration. The rate from Portland prior to the reduction exceeded the combination of locals on Intermediate points. When the original complaint was filed the northern originating point of the 17 y cent rate ore rough green fir was Wills burg, which immediately adjoins the city limits of Portland. The local rate from Portland to Wlllsburg was 3 cents. Therefore the combination would be lO'i cents, whereas the Portland rate was 25 cents. When this was pointed out the tariff was amended to make the Portland rate equal to the combination, and the northern origin ating point at the same time was moved from Willsburg to Oregon City, so aa to make the Portland combina tion greater. The local rate from Portland to Oregon City is 4 cents. Rate Relatively Increased. By this move, says the brief, the rate from Portland was relatively in creased rather than reduced, and 'the differential thus established against Portland made it impossible for Port land producers to do business in the Northern California territory. This juggling, it is said, confirms the contention of Portland producers that the railroad established these rates for the purpose of reserving the Cat ifornia market to the producers at points other than Portland, and to pre vent the Portland producers from main taining their established business in this territory. With reference to the railroad's con tention that the reasonableness of the Portland rate of itself is merely inci dental, while it is true that the dls crimination against Portland is the element which puts Portland producers out of business in Northern California markets, yet the attack on the reason ableness of the rate in and of itself not of secondary importance, it is held, but is of equal importance with the question of discrimination. fg t r: :o : . m raw t l ' ' . vx.

HOT DEBATE ON IN SENATE (Continued From First Psire. held in rapt attention by the frankness and vigor of the speakers. The discus sion reached a climax when Senator mith. Indignant at the intimation that he would place commercialism over human life, dramatically inquired of Senator Williams: "Because Germany has been guilty of murder, must we concede right of jerpetual robbery on the high seas to llreat Britain?" Senator Smith declared that Con Frefs should act, as the President could do no more than write. lie said he did not Kant to go to war, but Insisted that "FAGGED-OUT WOMEN Will Find a Helpful Suggestion In This Letter. Overworked, run-down, "fagged-out" 'omen who feel as though they could rardly drag about, should profit by Mrs. Carter's experience. She says: "I am the mother of six children and 1 got so weak and run-down that I couldn't eat anything and it seemed almost impossible for me to get around and do my work. I tried different doc tors' remedies without benefit. I saw Yinol advertised and decided to try it, and received so much benefit from the first bottle that 1 continued to take it. and it has built up my strength and made me strong and well. I consider inol the best medicine I have ever taken, and advise all weak, runt-down omen to try it." Mrs. Bessie Carter, fctnte Road, X. C If all the tired, overworked, run down women in Portland could only realize how our delicious cod liver and Iron tonic. Vino, supplies the vital elements necessary to build up blood and strength, we wouldn't be able to aupply the demand. The Owl Drug Co.. Portland. Oregon. T. 8. In your own town, wherever you live, there is a Vinol Drug store. Look g 'T the sign. the United States should have the nerve to insist on its commercial rights. The embargo to force England's hand. Sen ator Smith suggested, should be made effective within 30 days unless Great Britain yielded. - Plea Made for Delay. Senator Williams held the Senate for more than an hour with his reply. The allies, he said, would not be bullied by the United States "unless they were to stand still like a lot of whipped curs, while warring for life, liberty and in dependence," and yield to the Congress of the United States, backed by an armv of "90.000 soldiers and the fourth Xavv of the world." He thought it sufficient for this Government to pro test firmly against violation of com mercial rights and to await oen Deration of a calmer people for restitution, and asserted that he would not "kill one human being on the face of the globe for mere property, unless arter a bel ligerent had calmed down it should de velop that American rights were coldly and deliberately aenea. Senator Smith in his response to Sen ator Williams declared that the people of the South were Just as concerned as other Americans over the murder of American citizens, but they were also concerned over the destruction of their property rights. Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi, defended the position of Senator Smith, declaring it was sus tained by international law. by the President of the United States and the Secretary of State. WEALTHY IN IS JAILED SPOKANE HOTEL OWNER GETS TERM FOR SELLING LHltTOR. T. a HITS ACTION Colonel Says America Earns Contempt by Waiting. Case Has Sensational Features "Stool Pla-eon"' Evidence Secures Ten Day Sentenee and 9230 Fine. SPOKANE, Wash., Jan. 20. (Spe cial.) Allen S. de Reimer. wealthy realty holder and owner and proprietor of the Arlington Hotel, was today sen tenced by Police Judge Witt to serve ten days in the County Jail and to pay a total fine of $250 and costs, on a charge of selling; intoxicating liquor in violation of the new prohibition law. The sentence was announced on the entering of a plea of guilty by Attor ney R. J. Danson, for De Riemer. The defendant sat before the Justice during the brief , trial, intense emotion show ing on his face, but not once did he say a word. When the trial was completed he followed an officer to the booking window, where he voluntarily removed all articles from his pockets. "May I retain my eyeglasses?" he asked Sergeant Hogan. that being the only time he spoke until he was locked in a cell. The case against De Riemer has been a lengthy one. with many sensational features. He was first arrested charged with selling liquor after, a "stool pigeon" of the officers had purchased pint bottle ot wnisity. presenting a marked half dollar. JACKSON COIN KEPT HOME Connly Orders That All -Possible Supplies Be From Own Industries. MTSDFDRD. Or.. Jan. 20. (Special.) "Believing that home industries that are also taxpayers and support payrolls should be encouraged; "It 1b hereby ordered all county supplies necessary for uee of county officials be purchased of the home in dustries of Jackson County, excepting only such articles as are not obtainable in the county." The order was called forth particu larly by the recent announcement that unless local support of the recently established flour mill is Increased, cut price competition by large competing mills will force it out' of business. LASTING POLICY ADVISED Half Dozen "Formidable Fighting Ships" at Once, Adequate Army and Universal SIHitnry Service Advocated. PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 20. The ne cessity of training Americans born In this country, as well as aliens who have come here and will come in the fu ture in the highest ideals of-American citizenship was dwelt on by speakers at an all-day conference here under the auspices of the National Americaniza tion committee. The conference was brought tonight to a close by a mass meeting at which ex-Preeident Roosevelt was the prin cipal speaker. Colonel Roosevelt declared that in the last three years, while the United States had been technically at peace, more of Its citizens had been killed by Mexicans. Germans, Austri ana and Haitiens than were killed in the whole Spanish-American war. He continued: Many Americans Killed at Sea. "On February 12 it will be a year since the time when we notified Ger many that in case any of our citixens were killed, we would hold her to a strict accountability; and during these 11 months the passenger ships sunk by German or Austrian submarines in de fiance of our warning have included among others the Falaba. Lusitanla, Arabic, Hesperian, Ancona, Yasaka, Ville de la Ciotat and Persian. They were British, Italian, Japanese and French. Many hundreds of Americans were among the passengers and a cou ple of hundred of these, including many women and children, were killed. "The campaign against them has been a campaign of sheer murder, on a vaster scale than any indulged in in a like time by any of the old-time pirates of the Indian Ocean and the Spanish Main. Now, the total number of lives of non-combatants, including many hundreds of women and children, thus taken exceeds many- times over the aggregate in all the sea-fights of the War of 1812 both on the American1 and on the British side. It is over double the number of lives lost by the British sailors in Nelson's three great victories at the Battle of Trafalgar, at the Battle of the Nile and the Battle of the Baltic combined. It much ex ceeds the total number of lives lost in the Union Navy and, indeed, in the Union and Confederate Navies combined during the Civil War. "If any individual finds satisfaction in caylng- that nevertheless this was 'peace and not Var.' it is hardly worth while arguing with him; for he dwells in a land of sham and of makeTbelieve. Of course, incidentally, we have earned contempt and derision by our conduct in connection with the hundreds of Americans thus killed in time of peace without action on our part. The United States Senator, or Governor of a state, or other, public - representative; who takes the position that fur citizens should not. In accordance with their lawful rights, travel - on such ships, and that we need not take action about their deaths, occupies a position pre cisely and exactly as base and as cow ardly (and I use those words with scientific precision) as if his wife's face was slapped on the public streets and the only action he took was to tell her to stay in the house. Colonel Roosevelt continued by as serting that it remained for the Na tion to "prepare in adequate fashion.' He insisted that defense must be con sidered from the standpoint of lasting National Interests. The Navy, he said, could be used wisely for defense only as a strategic arm. Freedom of action by the fleet, he added, was the secret of real naval power, and this could be attained only by having an adequate military establishment capable of re- oelling any force disembarking on the coast. Naval Programme Inadequate.. He criticised the Administration's naval programme as inadequate, and Insisted that Congress should provide that this year the country should begin work on "half a dozen formidable fight ing ships and formidable, speedy, armed cruisers." An immense development of the aviation corps, he added, was also needed. - - He concluded by advocating univer sal military service, based on the Swiss and Australian models, saying: "The proposed continental army is a sham. It would be merely an merncieni rival of the National Guard. For a year or so, during the period of novelty, it might attract some men. But we can not expect men to sacrifice their busi ness interests and put themselves at a disadvantage compared to their less patriotic business rivals as a permanent thing. They ought not to do it; and it is an outrage to ask them to do it. Military training should be required, as a matter of right and not asked as a matter of favor of all our citizens." SIUSLAW SPAN PERMIT LET War Department Authorizes Bridge on North Fork at Eugene. EUGENE, Or., Jan. 20. (Special.) Lane County has been granted permis sion by the War Department to build a draw- bridge over the north fork of the Siuslaw River, formerly the con necting link of the Eugene-to-the- Coast road. H. P. Dutton, superintendent of the Tide Water Milling Company, has made a proposal to the -County Court jointly to bear the expense ot tne bridge. which could, if his offer is accepted. be used both as a railroad and wagon bridge. The probable cost of the bridge is unknown. Kail Survey Made Xear Florence. FLORENCE, Or.. Jan. 20. (Special.) A party of Southern Pacific engineers under the direction of O. L.
