OTHER CITIES WILL
PROTEST RATE RISE
Seattle and San Francisco
Give Notice; Lower Tariff
to Spokane Attacked.
PORTLAND HEARING ENDED
B. Campbell, Representing Inland
Cities, Cross-Examines Opponents
of the Proposed Advance Ses
,. eions in Spokane Tomorrow.
Shippers and snippers' organizations
In San Francisco and Seattle plan to
file protests witn the Interstate Com
merce Commission against the proposed
advance in transcontinental freignt
rates that Is to go into effect on Janu
ary 1.
This became apparent at the con
cluding session of the hearing con
ducted in the Courthouse yesterday by
Henry W. Thurtell, examiner for the
Commission.
The new rates provide an increase of
10 cents a hundredweight on a long list
of commodities, both eastbound and
westbound, between the Pacific Coast
terminals and the Atlantic seaboard
territory.
Many Industries Affected,
At the hearing on Monday and again
yesterday an overwhelming volume of
evidence was presented to show that
many Northwestern industries par
ticularly shipbuilding, lumbering and
logging, loganberry juice manufactur
ing, wool growing, salmon fishing,
wholesale merchandising and others
will be seriously affected, some of them
perhaps destroyed, if the new rates are
permitted to go into effect.
The proposed readjustment of the
rates is the result of a controversy be
tween Spokane and other interior cities
and the various terminal cities. Spo
kane, protesting against the preferen
tial rates enjoyed by the terminal cities
on account of their more favorable lo
cation on tide water, recently gained
a decision from the Commission order
ing the carriers to remove the differ
ential. The order was complied with
by a proposed advance of 10 cents. The
Commission, however, is conducting the
present hearing into the reasonableness
of this advance.
Surprise la Indicated.
Until yesterday the terminal cities
gave no hint of their intention to enter
formal protest pending action by the
Commission. Indeed, It was generally
understood that representatives of the
shippers had given the carriers their
unofficial promise that they would
permit the rates to go In without a
protest.
But S. J. Wetrick, traffic manager
for the Seattle Chamber of Commerce,
revealed the secret of the terminal
cities when under cross-examination by
J. B. Campbell, attorney for the city
of Spokane.
"If you are contending that the pro
posed advance is unreasonable," de
manded Mr. Campbell, "why haven't
you protested?"
"I haven't protested." replied Mr.
Wetrick. "but I intend to."
"Ah!" ejaculated Mr. Campbell, smil
ing and rubbing his hands.
"Well. I think it ought to be done.'
corrected Mr. Wetrick. "I don t say
that I Intend to protest until I consult
the directors of the Chamber. But I
think It ought to be done."
Grounds for Protest Asked.
"On what grounds? That the rates
are unreasonable per se?" asked Mr.
Campbell.
"There are a number of grounds
began Mr. Wetrick. but he was In
terrupted by Seth Mann, traffic man
ager for the San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce.
"I'll tell you," declared Mr. Mann.
we are going to protest on every
ground that we can think of and then
will fight the case out on those grounds
that appear the most sound and most
reliable.
These revelations seemed to be quite
fts surprising to representatives of the
carriers as to Mr. Campbell.
The case as it was conducted yester
day afternoon resolved itself largely
Into a family quarrel between Seattle
and Spokane.
Mr. Wetrick, appearing for the Seat
tle shippers, decided to take the stand
himself and thus subjected himself to
a severe cross-examination by Mr.
Campbell,
Seattle Man on Stand.,
Mr. Wetrick didn't follow the line of
campaign laid down on the opening day
by J. N. Teal, attorney for the Portland
Traffic & Transportation Association.
.Mr. leais witnesses protested solely
against the proposed advance in the
terminal rates without going Into
discussion of the relation between the
terminal rate and the Spokane rate.
Mr. Wetrick, though, attempted to
point out that Spokane really enjoys
lower tnan normal rates by very reaso
ot me laci mat tne coast rates are
suppressed by water competition. He
quoted specific rates now in existence
and expressed the theory that any ad
vance In the terminal rates should be
met with a corresponding advance in
the interior rate. Thus he laid open the
very issue mat Air. Teal and the Port
land shippers had sought to avoid. Mr.
Teal was not in attendance yesterday.
naving Btartea ror Washington to ap
pear before the Interstate Commerce
Commission in another case.
Hot Words Exehnneed.
The dialogue between Mr. Wetrick
and Mr. Campbell continued with more
or less beat and fervor for half an
hour.
I don t think vour attitude in thl
case ia for the best interests of ou
state." Mr. wetrick finally told M
Campbell, "nor for your city or mine.
fcJ. ai. cousins, attorney for the Wil
lamette Valley shippers. again at
tempted to gain admissions from vari
ous witnesses that in the event the in
tenor rates are reduced the rates t
Willamette Valley points should b
similarly reduced.
"Don't you think it would be an ad
vantage to the Pacific Coast to hav
the same eastbound rates to Pittsburg
ana cnicago as to new York?" he aske
of Mr. Wetrick.
"iTes. I believe it would be bette
" ii ,tne eastoouna rates were
D'anKuted. was the answer.
x lies raiiroaa attorneys were see
10 squirm at mis reply. . Their post
tion on the westbound tariff alway
has been that rates to the terminals
Fhould be lower, by reason of the wa
ter competition, than the rates to th
Interior. Apparently they expected
. .vv-'tricK to support them by main
laming a similar view on eastboun
movements.
' Industry Hit Both Ways.
C. G. Deckebaugh and H. S. Gil
manufacturers of loganberry juice
Salem, testified at the afternoon ses
sion that their industry would be hard
hit under the proposed advance both
on the westbound movement of bottles
and on the eastbound movement of
loganberry juice. Mr. Gile told how
the juice industry has been developed
here in the last few years and how
'the demand for the product is growing
In all parts of the country. He said
he had contracted with the Saturday
Evening Post for 131.000 worth of ad
vertising during 1917, to extend the
marKet
E. F. Meaalngrer. president of the
Hunt. Motet & Tate Company, of Taco
ma. wholesale hardware dealers, and C.
E. DePaaa. traffic manager for the con
densed milk manufacturers at Tacoraa,
declared at the rooming session that
their respective Industries would be
damaged If the new rates go In.
J. 8. Maxwell, traffic manager for
the Denver Traffic Bureau, was the
last witness. He presented figures
showing that all the rates in the in
terior country and as far east as Lead
ville. Col., are reduced by reason of the
water competition at the Pacific Coast
terminals.
The examiner will resume the hear
ing at Spokane tomorrow.
00 AUTOISTS ARRESTED
POUCH WARN VIOLATORS OK JTEW
TRAFFIC ORDIXA.VCE.
Municipal Judge Langrsruth Declares
First Fart of Paragraph 5 ot Sec
tion U Contradictory.
Eighty persons driving automobiles
were arrested yesterday for violations
the new traffic ordinance and fe
ll i red to report to the police station.
This was a distinct falling off com
pared to the 178 arrests made Monday,
the day after tne new trafflo ordinance
went Into effect, and was taken to In
dicate that the motoring public is mak
ing itself familiar with the new rules.
All those arrested yesterday were
released with the warning that a sec
ond arrest would result in their be
ing compelled to "tell their troubles
to the judge." Those brought In were
also given copies of the new ordinance,
with' instructions to read.
Harvey Thatcher, desk sergeant, said
that the majority of the arrests mad
were for violations of the clause pro
hibiting parking In certain sections of
the downtown district.
Hundreds of copies of the trafflo or
dinance were distributed among those
utomoblle drivers who asked for them.
Some controversy was raised relative
to the meaning of certain sections of
the ordinance yesterday. Municipal
Judge Langguth. found fault with
Paragraph 5 of Section 12, which re-
ates to vehicles passing streetcars.
The Judge declared that the first part
f tne paragraph contradicts the latter
part.
A report was brought to Police Ser
geant Thatcher yesterday that a man
was offering for sale copies of the
ew traffic ordinance for 5 cents each.
He .had apparently secured a number
f copies at the police station. In
case -he can be apprehended he will
robably be placed under arrest.
Officers at the police station were
well pleased last night with the mail
er in which the motoring publio was
cceptlng the new ordinance, as soon
as drivers were familiarized with the
new rules. Thus far only one driver
has returned on a second violation. A
girl, who was driving a machine, was
released by Police Captain Inskeen in
the afternoon. Later, after the nierht
relief had com on. she was again ar
rested and was released bv Cantiln
Circle, who was not Informed of the
previous arrest.
Drivers of for-hlre automobiles are
up in arms against the provision of the
new city traffic ordinance prohibiting
mem rrom standing for longer than 15
minutes In front of business houses In
the main part of the West Side busi
ness district. They contend that thev
should be permitted to stand provided
the merchant does not object.
The ordinance may be brought back to
the City Council by these drivers with a
request that the parking provision be
altered. Mayor Albee says that unless
the Council does not change It the
police will continue to keep the re
stricted district free from the for-
nire cars or otners stopping longer
than 15 minutes. This regulation is-
piles only during the daytime.
Mayor Albee yesterday called atten
tion to two sections of the ordinance
In which drivers seem to have become
confused. One Is as to the parking
area. parking is absolutely orohib
ited only on Washington street from
Third to Broadway, on Broadway from
Washington to Oak and on Morrison
from Third, street to the bridge. The
rest of the' business district is in the
restricted district, where during the
daytime parking Is limited to 15
minutes.
Another section In which there Is
confusion is ttiat pertaining to passing
streetcars. streetcars may be passed
on the left-hand side any place out
side tne prohibited district and on
the approaches to the bridges.
Corrected copies of the new traffic
ordinance are obtainable free of charge
at the City Hall.

DEPORTATIONS JUST,
DECLARES BERLIN
America Misinformed Regard
ing Belgians, Says Reply
to Recent Protest.
PROBE PEflMIT IS OFFERED
Measures Defended as Necessary to
Relieve Destitution of Workmen.
AlUes Charged "With Car
rying Off Germans.
BERLIN, Dec. 11. via London. Dec.
12. Germany's answer to the American
note regarding the deportation of Bel
gians Is confined almost exclusively to
a presentation of the situation in Bel
gium before the deportation order be
came effective. The note declares that
there was urgent need of some kind
of work for the Belgians because their
idleness was causing demoralization,
and says that the deported workers
are assured of well being In new situ
ations In Germany.
The reply volunteers to permit Amer
ican diplomatic representitlves to visit
the workmen's camps and assure them
selves that the Belgians are well off.
It concludes with an expression of re
gret that the United States, has never
seen fit to protest against what it de
scribes as the dragging off of Germans
from East Prussia, Alsace and other
places. ,
These actions of which It accuses the
allies are characterized In the reply
as a severe violation of the laws of
humanity.
Misinformation Is Charged.
The note declares that the German
government Is convinced that the
United States has been misinformed la
regard to the measures which have
been taken, and says that the lack of
work has Increased until 1.250,000 are
uttering ana an unDearaDie situation
created. Nothing remained, mere-
ore, the note continues, but to offer
the workless situations In Germany,
ince work for all was not at hand in
Belgium.
It Is contended that the majority or
those who have come to Germany are
appy and contented, with high wages
and Increased personal liberties, and
that only those who prefer to loaf have
een compelled to work.
The answer declares that the meas-
re is entirely In accord with interna
tional law, and cites article 43 of The
Hague convention, which requires an
nvading government to maintain order.
This, it 1 maintained, is possible only
in Belgium by providing that people
who are able to work shall have op
portunity to do so, and shall not fall
a burden on charity.
Mistakes Laid to Belgians.
The. note says that the measure has
een carried out without severity and
with all possible consideration. Mis
takes, it asserts, have rarely occurred.
and have been due in part to the fact
that Belgians themselves erred IB mak
ing up the lists of those to be trans
ported to Germany by including persons
unaffected by . Governor-General von
Bissing's order of May 13, 1916.
The note goes on to say that Bel
gians now working in Germany are
engaged, without exception, in occu
pations permissible under international
aw, such as legitimate agricultural
and industrial pursuits, and that the
German government regrets extremely
that the situation has been completely
misrepresented In the United States by
the lying press of Germany's enemies."
The German government, it is de
clared, in the Interest of the Belgian
population, would also regret if the
activities ot the Belgian Kelief Com
mission were affected.

Portland Woman Becomes Bride of
Witness at Trlnl of Los Anareles
.Times Dynamite Suspect.
Romance In which a Portland woman,
Mrs. Jeneva von Kajanrter Bostrnm,
figured, has relieved somewhat, the
grimness of the trial of the alleged
dynamiter, David Caplan, now under
going prosecution In Los Angeles for
complicity in wrecking the building of
the Los Angeles Times, a few years
ago.
Donald Vose Meserve, a former asso
ciate of anarchists, now a Burns de
tective, and Mrs. Bostrum have been
married in Los Angeles, after a hur
ried, courtship. The wedding has just
taken place and the two have gone on
a short honeymoon. Because he is an
important witness in the Caplan case
the bridegroom was able to obtain
only a short leave of absence isova the
District Attorney.
To little Florence Bostrum, daughter
of the bride, is due credit for originat
ing the romance. Mrs. Bostrum moved
from Portland to Los Angeles a few
months ago, leaving her young daugh
ter here with a nurse. When she de
cided to stay in the Southern Califor
nia city, she sent word for the nurse
to accompany her daughter there, and
on the same steamer sailed the star
witness in the Caplan case.
Little a lorence became a warm fa
vorite of the sleuth on the way south
They were inseparable on the voyage,
and upon arrival in Los Angeles an
introduction to the mother followed
Soon he became a regular caller. It
was hot until December 8. however,
that the two decided to be married, and
then Mr. Meserve rushed to the Dis
trict Attorney to get leave of absence
