THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1916. 17 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. GR0GER5HERE ARE SUED SEATTLE COMPANY ASKS S14.0OO OS PURE FOOD SHOW DEAL..

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. EX-ANARCHIST IS WED DONALD VOS MESERVK, SLEUTH, MARRIES MRS. J. K. ROSTRUM. 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.

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 SCIENCE CLUB HEARS TALK Dr. A. A.
