ORPET SHIRS AND
TWISTS Otl STAND
Youth's Composure Vanishes
Before Battery of Questions
by State's Attorney.
WOMEN JAM COURTROOM
Testimony Is Embarrassing, but It
Iies Not Deter Any From Re
turnings Witness Wentes Hav
ing Knowledge of Drugs.
VAUKEGAN, 111.. June 27. William
TT. Orpet, who elected to tell his own
story on the stand In refutation of the
charge of murdering Marlon Lambert,
completed a session of cross-examination
today which left him pale and
nervous.
The course of questioning adopted by
David R. Joslyn for the state abounded
In pitfalls, and fed the witness to cor
rect his testimony.
The young college student started
the day as If determined to retain bis
composure at all costs.
In an hour, however, his composure
was gone. He moved from side to side
In his seat, twisted his ringers and
scarcely looked at his Inquisitor. For
the most part his head was Inclined
to one side, and he gazed out of the
corner of his eyes in the general di
rection of the lawyer, but not at him.
At one time one of the letters which
be wrote to Marion was left In bis
nervous fingers.
"Air. Orpet." warned Attorney Jowl yn.
"please don't twist that letter so; you'll
destroy It."
Women Pack Courtroom. .
The courtroom was packed up to the
very edge of the Judge's bench and on
either side of It, mostly with women.
For the most part the testimony was
of an extremely embarrassing nature,
but it did not deter the women from
returning to the afternoon session.
During the forenoon those close enough
to hear hung their heads most of the
time, but by afternon they were used
to it.
Orpet probably will continue under
cross-examination tomorrow and pos
sibly the next day, ami there was little
hope that the case could go to the jury
before the end of the week.
For a few fleeting moments Mr.
Joslyn turned from the letters to the
subject of cyanide of potassium, the
poison from which Marion died. This
was in connection- with the purchase of
some brown "dope," as Orpet termed
it, which he bought for Marion on two
occasions. This was one of the places
where he became confused, and "under
aavage attack, corrected himself.
Drag Stock Well Known.
He bought the "dope" at a drugstore
at Madison, Wis., where he was at
tending the University of Wisconsin.
Mr. Joslyn In his most suave manner
had adduced that William Zlnk and
Charles Hassirfcger. friends of the de
fendant, clerked in the store and that
Orpet and others made it a frequent
rendezvous.
Was there a soda fountain? Tes.
CIgarsT Yes. Where were they? Toilet
accessories? Where were they?
Orpet was able to describe the con
tents and arrangement of the stock
with moderate confidence.
"You remember a row of drugs.
About the middle and a big bottle
marked cyanide of potassium and it
was labeled poison and had a skull
and cross-bones on it?"
The lawyer leaned forward and
hurled the question at the witness.
Orpet's shrinking attitude in the chair
was varied only by shifting to the
other side as he returned a low "no."
Youth Maintains Position."
"Do you mean, to say that you hung
out In that drugstore every day. knew
everybody and everything in it, and
never noticed that skull and cross
bones on the only bottle in the row
that carried it?" demanded Mr. Joslyn
Irk a manner so menacing that Attorney
Ralph F. Potter, of the defense, put In
an objection.
"No," repeated the witness.
The young collegian's letters to
Marion, numbering 44, and covering a
period of more than a year, abounded
In expressions which were not clear
when read to the Jury last week. This
was. Orpet explained, because in many
cases they were responses to things
t-aid In her letters to him, or were used
as a precaution against their being
read by eome other person than the
recipient.
The cross-examination was devoted
to these expressions. Mr. Joslyn, with
& persistence, which knew no bounds,
sought to trap the witness Into admit
ting that they veiled liaison which the
girl was anxious to terminate, or were
designed to dissuade her from her ex
pressed Intention of "being as good as
sold."
Hers. It must be so construed as to
give effect to that purpose.
Water Traffic Need Shown.
"It the rail rates between the two
coasts established In the light of con
ditions then existing should, through
such a complete change of conditions
as that which has so recently come
about, be now at a level so low as to
irutke the service between the two
coasts unattractive to the boat lines,
they should be readjusted to a basis
that will attract the water carriers
back to the service and the primary
purpose of the section be achieved, or
should they be held at the present
level and the legislative purpose to
ascertain extent defeated?
"It Is admitted that the present rates
upon schedule C articles from Eastern
territories to Pacific Coast points are
lower than the present competition by
water justifies or makes necessary.
The maintenance of these low rates
to Coast points and higher rates to or
from intermediate points has the effect
under the circumstances of unduly pre
ferring the Coast points and unjustly
discriminating against intermediate
points. This condition has existed for
several months.
"The recent withdrawal, however, of
the principal Bteamship lines and their
contracts for use in other lines of serv
ice creates a possibility that there will
be but little effective water service
during the current year and perhaps
for a considerable period thereafter.
We shall therefore rescind, effective
September 1. those portions of our
orders relating to the schedule C com
modities and require that the rate on
these commodities from Eastern terri
tories to Pacific Coast terminals be
adjusted on that date in accordance
with the terms of our orders respecting
the schedule B commodities."

SPOKANE GAINS BY DECISION
Rates Now Must Be at Least as Low
as Those to Portland.
SPOKANE. Wash.. June 27. (Spe
cial.) The rate case was handled by
J. M. Campbell, attorney for the Mer
chants' Association, and the data were
assembled and organized by C. O. Ber
gan, traffic manager for the organiza
tion. "The decision means that transconti
nental railroads must errant Spokane
rates at least as low as those to Seattle
and Portland," said Mr. Bergan today.
"It does not necessarily mean, how
ever, that the freight charges to Spo
kane must be lower than those to the
Coast.
"The decision removes the disadvan
tage under which Spokane jobbers have
been working, and under which they
were unable to invade territory that
rightfully was theirs. I should say
that, a3 a rule, Spokane Jobbers now
will be able to compete with Coast
Jobbers in a territory extending at
least 100 miles further west
"Heretofore, the Spokane men could
not compete with the Coast interests
in this territory, because the advanta
geous freight rates enjoyed by the
latter made It possible for them to
make a much lower price than the local
Jobbers could quote.
'It follows that a much larger quan
tity of freight will be distributed from
Spokane and less from the Coast than
formerly, and that the importance of
Spokane as a distribution center will
be correspondingly increased.
The basis of the Spokane Merchants
Association contention) was that water
competition between the Atlantio and
Pacific coasts has been completely de
stroyed under war conditions, and this
contention the Interstate Commerce
Commission upholds.
PORTLAND LOSES TERRITORY
Interior Points Gain Distribution
Area Under Commission Ruling.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 27. Revision
of West bound freight rates, ordered
today by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, will strike a serious com
mercial blow to Pacific Coast ports,
railroad officials and representatives of
jobbing houses said.
The Pacific Coast points affected ad
versely are the ports of San Francisco,
Seattle. Portland. Or.; Oakland, Cal.;
San Pedro. Cal.. and San Diego, which,
in a decision a year ago by the Com
mission, were accorded lower rates
than intermediate points because of the
Panama Canal water competition.
At that time the Commission ruled
that the rates to Intermediate points
should comprise the rate to the above
named terminal points plus 75 per cent
cf the back-haul rates, an arrange
merit which at the same time gave the
railroads a chance to compete with
water carriers between Eastern ports
and the Pacific, and also made ter
mlnal-polnt Jobbers distributors for a
large territory inland. Railroad oflt
clals said interior points as far Inland
as Salt Lake City, Utah, would now as
sume distributive control of their con
tiguous territories.
The order of the Commission, it was
said, applies only to commodity freight
rates as distinguished from class rates.
It resulted from a complaint of the
inland cities of Spokane, Wash., and
Reno, Nev., that the slides in the Pan
ama Canal, and war conditions, had
virtually eliminated water competition
to Pacific Coast ports from the Eastern
seaboard.
COAST RATES ADVANCED
(Continued From First Pmca.)
When established to one that is now
unjustly discriminatory against inter
mediate points."
The commission's revision order ap
plies to a long list of commodities in
westbound traffic, including iron and
steel articles from Pittsburg and canned
roods, coffee, meats, ootton and wool
products, drygoods, hardware, twine,
paper, oil. etc. from, the East gener
ally. It Includes eastbound rates
from California points via rail and
water routes through gulf ports to the
Atlantic seaboard.
Railroads Oppose Change.
The opinion says the rail carriers
objected to a change on the ground that
present conditions are but temporary
and there is certain to be a return of
competition between them and water
carriers, when these unprecedented
conditions disappear.
Representatives of intermediate
points, on the other hand, argued that
while conditions may not persist for
more than a few months, the mainte
nance of lower rates to the coast cities
even for that period is unduly preju
dicial. Coastwise Traffic Gone.
Tho Commission, in arriving at the
conclusion that there is no longer
water competition from Coast to Coast
is influenced largely by the disclosure
that steamers that were engaged in
Panama Canal trade prior to the clos
ing of the canal by slides have been
withdrawn from that service and are
now engaged at exorbitant rates in
trade between the Vnited States and
Europe, and that although the canal
has again been opened partially to
traffic there is comparatively little
coastwise trade through the canal.
After explaining that the existing
rates were Justified by water competi
tion at the time they were authorized
the Commission holds far-Coast points
are receiving a lower rate than that to
which they are lawfully entitled by
the conditions there existing. "It is a
preference at that point that results
in prejudice against higher rated points
whether intermediate thereto or not."
says the ruling. "Furthermore the
primary purpose of this portion of the
fourth section Is to preserve and pro
mote competition by the water ear-
WAR HORSE CARE PLAN
FIELD IIOSPITALS I! MEXICO IN
EVENT OF WAR LIKELY.
Director of Humane Society of Amer
ica Vote to Fond "Red Star" to
Treat Wounded Animals.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 87. Sick and
wounded horses and mules will not be
left to die unsuccored on the battle
field in the event of war with Mexico,
through the lack of hospitals for their
reception or of willing and skilled
hands to alleviate their sufferings. If
the plan of the American Humane So
ciety for the organization immediately
of the American Red Star Animal Re
lief is consummated.
John Partridge, president of the San
Francisco Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, and one of the 15
directors of the American Humane So
ciety of New York, the National organ
ization, declared tonight that 14 of his
fellow directors had voted in favor of
the "Red Star" and that their dream
soon would be a reality, should the
Mexican crisis develop war.
Hospitals within the American lines,
fully equipped with operating tables
and surgical instruments used in vet
erinary practice: corps of veterinarians
ready to administer to the dumb vic
tims of hostilities and the proper facil
ities for transporting wounded animals
from the battle zone are the more 1m
portant features of the "Red Star,"
which, Mr. Partridge said, would be
made possible by popular subscription.
The proposed society, according to
Matthew McCurrie, secretary and man
ager of the San Francisco organization,
would extend the same aid to the Unit
ed States Army veterinary corps as
the American Red Cross gives to the
medical corps, and its conduct will be
modeled along the same lines as the
British Blue Cross, which has done he
roic work for animals on the battle
fields of Europe.
Harbor Bond Issue Carries.
CRESCENT CITY. Cal.. June 27.
(Special.) The Del Jorte County har
bor bond issue carried almost unani
mously today. Only 29 vot-oa were cast
against the issue.
A bombshell dropping In a peaceful
camp is only another way of describ
ing the receipt of the news of the lat
est Interstate Commerce Commission
rate decision yesterday by the business
community of Portland. That water
competition does not exist at present
between the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts
and that as a result transcontinental
lines must revise their rates, effective
September 1. bo that Coast terminal
rates shall not be lower than the tariffs
to intermediate points is the gist of
the decision.
It was regarded locally as beinir a
body blow and it was predicted that it
may have the effect of tearing down
the whole 'fabric of railroad rates as It
has been built up affecting this Coast
and revising the conduct of business
with the East. It is feared it will af
fect directly and adversely the great
volume of traffio between the Atlantio
arxi I ';.(-i r 1 c Coasts.
J. N. Teal, counsel for the Portland
Traffic and Transportation Association,
Is perhaps one of the few men on the
Coast, if not the only one, who was
not surprised at the-decision. Mr. Teal
presented arguments before the Inter
state Commerce Commission last April
on the matters involved in the case and
he feared the outcome.
Rehearing; to Be Aslced.
It is not so much the first step in
the case, as the further and last Btepa
that are most to be feared," he said.
Members of the Traffic and Trans
portation Association will meet Fri
day afternoon, probably at the Chamber
of Commerce, when some decision will
probably be reached as to what steps
to take in seeking a way out of the
present difficulty.
until we get a lull text of the de
cision. It is impossible to say what
course, exactly, will be taken, but a
petition for a rehearing of tho case
certainly Is tho first step that is open
to the shippers of the Coast," said Mr.
Teal.
in outlining the case that ended in
the decision Just made by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, Mr. Teal said:
"It was In June, 1911, that the Inter
state Commerce Commission divided the
country into five zones and established
the percentage basis from each of these
territories, save the Southeastern zone,
under which rates could be made lower,
by a percentage fixed, to the Coast than
to Intermediate points.
Canal Lowera Rate.
"The case went to tho Supreme Court
and the action of the Commission wa
sustained. The Panama Canal was
opened and the railroads asked permis
sion to establish lower rates than those
fixed on account of the increase In
water competition caused by the open
ing of the canal. This was granted by
the Commission and a lower basis was
allowed off 107 commodities in common
use and moving largely by water.
Thereafter, lower rates were estab
lished by the Commission on products
of the soil from California points to
Atlantio Coast terminals.
'Meanwhile, the European war inter
vened to change this order of things.
followed by the closing of the canal by
slides, and the withdrawal of steamers
operating between the two coasts and
their engaging in other trade.
in March, substantially all inter-
mountain Interests, with the support of
tne American-Hawaiian and the Luck
enbach steamship companies, applied to
tne commission ror an order cancelling
all former orders in which the Commis
sion had allowed lower rates to the
coast than the Intermediate rate
baBing the action on the absence of
water competition.
Percentage Rates Unchanged.
The Commission then issued an order
for a hearing to show cause why
Schedule C. being the list covering the
10 commodities moving mostly by
water to the Pacific Coast, as well as
those covering the eastbound move
raent, should not be cancelled. Th
hearing was held April 24-26 of this
year at Washington.
From the newspaper reports of the
decision Just made, I gather that the
Commission has held, water competi
tion no longer existing, that there is
no Justification for the lower charges
for transportation to the Coast term!
nals than to the intermediate points.
The order applies, of course, to the
particular tariffs under consideration.
leaving in effect rates named under the
former decision, fixed on the percen
tage basis.
'That tho decision, if sustained, will
mean a revolution in rate making and
the conduct of business generally on
this Coast cannot be gainsaid. All one
will have to consider, for instance, to
see its effects will be contracts for
iron and steel, whether required for
ship building or other work. Contracts
usually are based on deliveries, f. o. b.
mill. Tho difference in rates under
tho present and the proposed rate
will be found to bo startling.
Salmon Industry Affected.
"This applies In many directions. The
advance on products of the soil 1
California will be heavy and the new
decision also affects rates on salmon
from all Coast points and the advance
is material.
The business of tho whole Pacific
Coast, since its settlement, has been
based on water competition in respect
to rates, and this is a first step and a
long one in a change in methods of
doing business that has covered many
years.
Schedule C is the first to be disturbed
by the decision. The rates embraced in
this schedule may be said to have been
abnormally low. But it is not alone
the commodities embraced in that
schedule that are threatened, for other
rate schedules are threatened by this
latest ruling, and they, too, may topple
over at any time. . -
That the decision is intended to cover
a temporary situation merely and that
the status quo may be re-established
when the European war is ended and
shipping returns to normal Is, of course,
the probability; but. as it requires 90
days to publish a tariff alone, it Is
pointed out that the re-establishment
of former rates is not a matter of days,
or even of weeks.
Change Long- Expected.
Mr. Teal foresaw, with a somewhat
prophetic eye, what was coming in the
threatened rate changes some time ago.
Ho made a report May 3 to the execu
tive committee of the Traffic and
Transportation Association of Portland,
and in this report he made some rather
remarkable statements, as events have
proved. He indicated in his report that
schedule C was the one most affected
in tho attack of tho lntermountain
country on tho Coast terminal tariffs.
This schedule included those things
which are naturally carried by water
and on wihlch It was held water com
petition would bo strongest, as. for ex
ample, barley, beans, canned goods,
asphaltum, dried fruits and wines from
California to the Atlantio seaboard.
These were a few of tho items) in
cluded in schedule C
Standing with the Paclfio Coast
cities in opposing tho cancellation of
the then existing rates were New lork
City, Chicago and other Eastern in
terests, aa well as a number of rep
resentatives of large business and
manufacturing concerns scattered from
Pueblo, Colo., to the Atlantic Coast.
While all tho transcontinental lines
opposed cancellation, the Southern Pa
cific and tho Union Pacific systems car-
rled the brunt of the contest and were i
positive in their stand. The other i
lines did not Impress Mr. Teal as be
ing more than lukewarm, although
standing with these two.
Schedule IS in Danger.
"To my mind." said Mr. Teal, in his
report of May 3. "the Importance of
the action the commission may take i
lies in the next, rather than in the
first step. If there is no competition, j
and the commission so finds, and holds
tnat under trie law tney nave no power
to grant relief and therefore cancel
Schedule C. then it is extremely diffi
cult to see what Justification in law
or in fact there is for maintaining
Schedule B.
"If Schedule B is canceled, then the
terminal rates, as such, are gone, and
when this point is reached, why will
not the logical result be rates on a
mileage basis, and the farther distant
point charged higher rates than inter
mediate points. I refer to this as a
condition that we will not unlikely
have to face if Schedule C is canceled
on the grounds stated, and no compe
tition arises in the meantime."
Mr. Teal at that time made a number
of recommendations that he felt were
Justified under the conditions that
seemed to confront Portland, together
with other Pacific Coast ports. These
were. In brief:
"Wo should encourage in every way
water transportation by sea, and in- my
opinion secure a change in the coast
wise laws, so that any ship flying the
American flag can engage in port-to-port
service.
High Backhaul Rate Intended.
"As It Is perfectly manliest the rail
carriers intend to maintain high back
haul rates, our energies should be di
rected in the reverse direction to se
curing the widest possible distributive
area so far as rates are concerned from
coast points.
As it must be apparent, both as a
practical proposition and probably by
operation of law. less reliance can be
placed in the future on our ability to
bring in goods of Eastern orleln and
redistribute in intermediate territory
from Coast points, every effort should
be made to open up new trade terri
tory so we will not bo dependent on
the interior trade we now have and as
It may be curtailed; In other words,
we must look to the development of
trade by rail and by water that we
do not now enjoy.
"As a corollary of this, we must
encourage in every way tho shipping of
our port, both deep sea and inland.
"NVhlle .our local business at the
present time is largely jobbing, it is
apparent that our commercial and In
dustrial development ultimately will
depend on manufacturing industries of
all kinds to locate here and create pay
rolls. There will be no difficulty in
selling our manufactured products to
any territory, and this. In turn, will
aid us in maintaining our Jobbing busi
ness.
City Urged to Mobilise.
"Thl9 city should mobilize at once
all of Its forces so that through con
certed action results can be secured.
Individual effort Is next to useless and
all other interests should be associated
with the business Interests of the city
in this absolutely essential work.
"It is commonly stated, and I fear
truthfully, that the United States will
never awaken to the necessity of pre
paredness until some great catastrophe
overtakes us. Judging by the facts,
this seems to bo the case. The same
remark, however, seems applicable to
ourselves. I sometimes fear that Port
land will never awaken to tho neces
sity of preparedness from a commer
cial and industrial standpoint until our
business and prestige are seriously
impaired."
That the latest rate decision will
have a pronounced effect on all the
Pacific Coast cities is tho opinion of
J. H. Lothrop, secretary of the Port
land Tralllc and Transportation Asso
ciation. He says it is yet too early.
until the full decision is received and
read, to tell exactly what Is in store
for Portland's business community,
"The decision practically cancels the
low rates that have been in effect for
the greater part of a year," he said. "I
don't think that kind of a decision was
expected by the Coast cities. The busi
ness of the Coast has been built up on
the old rates and the new order of
things will make materials higher and
will -mean a readjustment all around.
However, the new order does not be
come effective until September 1 and
something may happen in the mean
time to change the complexion of the
situation a it now stands."

Operations of Three Armies Results la
Capture of Principal Seaports
and Other Cities.
LONDON, Juno 26. Accounts of the
uprising against the Turks in Arabia
show that the operations which resulted
in the capture of tho principal seaports
and other cities by the rebels appar
ently were carefully conceived and
systematically carried out.
It appears from news received in
Cairo, says tho Router's correspondent,
that tho Grand Sherif of Mecca raised
three armies, the commands of which
he grave to his three eldest sons. The
first of these, under Sherif Forlsae, is
besieging Medina, the city containing;
the tomb of Mohammed; tho second
under Sherif Abdulla, occupied Talf, 65
miles southeast of Mecca, making prls.
oners of most of the garrison, while
the third captured Jiddah, tho chief
seaport of Arabia, imprisoning its de
fenders. While besieging Jiddah, the Arabian
forces warned tho garrison not to de
stroy its arms and ammunition, and
consequently a battery of field artil
lery, numerous rifles and quick-firers
and a great quantity of ammunition
were captured.
Apparently, says the dispatch, the
Grand Sherif and his followers decided
to suppress all traces of tho Turks
in their country, cutting the telegraph
lines, tearing up the roadbed of tho
HUai Railway and destroying the sta
tions for nearly 100 miles to tho north
in order to prevent the Turks from
sending reinforcements.
It is related, adds the correspondent
that when Enver Pasha visited Jiddah
five months ago, tho Grand Sherif told
his he was an ignorant youth, who had
dragged Turkey to her destruction.

dresses: and a woman, yet to be an
nounced, will be one of those to make
a talk indorsing the nomination of
Mr. Hughes.
Thlo was decided upon yesterday by
the committee in charge of tho ratifica
tion. The members decided it would
be quite a one-sided affair if left to
the men alone and they took steps
early to make the gathering properly
representative. Women are invited to
Join in freely with tho men in all
phases of the ratification demonstra
tion. The committee will meet dally at
noon at the Imperial Hotel to arrange
final details of the meeting. The main
events are well in hand already, but
to perfect the arrangements and as
sure Buccess of each detail it was
thought beet yesterday to get tho com
mittee together each day until the mass I
meeting is held.
George L. Baker has been placed in
charge of the parade feature.
Speakers for the ratification meet
ing so far arranged are Governor
Withycombe, Senator C. W. Fulton. A.
E. Clark and Robert Tucker. Others
