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.

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

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.

"It 1b hereby ordered all county

in the county."
The order was called forth particu
larly by the recent announcement that
unless local support of the recently

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."
