PARTNERS' LETTERS
FURNISH SENSATIDN
C. L. Davies, of Portland, Tells
of Hunch He Had to Go to
i. South America.
FIRM'S METHODS RECITED
In Reply to Sir. Davies, S. T. Knud
son, of Seattle, Wrote That Com
pany "Was Going After Mr.
Freeman' Iiike House Afire."
SPOKANE, Wash., Jan. 30. Letters
which passed between Gale Smith and
his four associates accused of using
the mails to defraud In connection with
the sale of stock in the Northwestern
Trading Company, of Spokane, and its
allied co-operative concerns in Port
land, Seattle and Cedar Rapids, la-,
were read by the Government today in
their trial in United States District
Court here. The letters, the Govern
ment contends, show a conspiracy to
defraud on the part of the defendants.
In one letter, written by C. L. Davies,
manager of the Portland branch, to
Stephen P. Knudson, manager of the
Olympic Trading & Supply Company,
the Seattle house, when application for
a. receiver was made In the Seattle
courts, said: "I am rather inclined to
think that it is good weather to go
to South America. I think the. time
Is ripe to put in a big co-operative
store at Buenos Aires."
Several Letters Read.'
Davies' letter was only one of sev
eral that proved the sensation of the
afternoon's hearing. Among some of
the most Important letters follow:
Mr. Knudson, under a Seattle date
line, April 8, wrote In reply to Mr.
Davies:
"I presume you have purchased and
have made reservations for your South
America trip. I have just received a
letter from Mr. Smith stating that
everything is going along nicely over
there and the optimistic feeling seems
to predominate. Our case comes up
here Thursday. We have everything to
win and nothing to Jose. We are going
after Miller Freeman like a house afire
and if there is any chance at all, and
I think there is, we will have very
soon what little money he has got, so
if you are up this way soon, we will
do some celebrating."
A letter writtea November 12, 1914,
to P. B. Sears, who was manager of the
collection department, by Gale Smith,
who was then in Cedar Rapids, la., said
the Cedar Rapids labor unions were
preparing to inquire of Spokane labor
leaders concerning the soundness of the
Northwestern General Trading Com
pany. The letter suggested that John
C. Lawrence, one of the defendants,
stood well with the labor leader unions
and should use his influence to have a
favorable reply made in the Cedar Rap
Ids inquiry.
Farmer Is Advised.
A letter written by Lawrence to a
farmer who inquired concerning the
co-operative companies, said Lawrence,
as a member of a committee appointed
by the Farmers' Union, had investi
gated the Northwestern General Trad
ing Company and found everything sat
isfactory. It is alleged by the Govern
ment that Lawrence, at the time he
made this investigation, was on the
payroll of the Northwestern General
Trading Company.

Bank Examiner W. E. Hansen today as
insolvent, and clerks were set at work
compiling a statement of the assets and

step to liquidation . under the. state

welcome any effort to reorganize the

A statement of the assets of the
closed bank could not be obtained.
A crowd had gathered in front of the
Northern Bank before the usual open

been circulated last night that the
bank would not open today. This
crowd grew larger as the day wore one.
In the afternoon depositors began to
withdraw money from all savings
banks, and there was a run on the
Peoples Savings Bank, one of the
strongest financial institutions in the
Northwest, and which had made pro
vision last night against withdrawals,
owing to its location near the Northern
Bank. The Peoples Bank paid all de
positors unquestioningly, as did all the
other banks.
PROPOSED CLAUSE LIKED
MANT INDORSE "PI BMO NECESSITY
AND CONVENIENCE" IDEA.
Public Service Commissioner Corey Be
lieves Sentiment Will Result In
Passage of Bill.
SALEM, Or.. Jan. 30. (Special.)
Publio Service Commissioner Corey,
who fathered the idea before this Leg
islature and first broached the subject
of inserting a clause of "public neces
sity and convenience" In the public
utilities act, today said he has received
telegrams, letters, telephone calls and
editorial indorsement from the press
throughout the state of the proposal.
He believes the public sentiment prob
ably will result in its passage without
much opposition.
Some say it Is a move In favor of
the corporate Interests," said Mr. Corey
today, "but inasmuch as it originally
was championed in Wisconsin by Bob
LaFollette this contention seems doubt
ful.
Many still hold to the Idea that com
petition is an efficient means of regu
lating publio utilities.
Experience demonstrates that com
petition is short-lived. The low rates
prove but temporary, and where com
peting companies unite, as unite they
will, duplication of plant and appliances
ntalla a permanent burden on the
public. Manifestly, rates fixed by the
ommlsslon must have some reference
to the capital legitimately sunk in
equipment of the formerly competing
plants. Thus the evils of an ill-judged
competitive experiment, in an unsuited
field, perpetuate themselves and burden
the consuming public with high rates
and unnecessary installation of pipes.

like, and augment unwarrantably the

fIR.SPROULESCORED
FOR CAR SHORTAGE
Service Commission Wants to
Know Prospects for Re
lief in Situation.
GREAT LOSS POINTED OUT
Surrey ot Xeeds of State Is De
manded aa Well as Prevention
of Discrimination That Has
Been Common for Years.
SALEM. Or., Jan. 30. (Special.)
Frank J. Miller, chairman of the Public
Service Commission, today addressed a
letter to William Sproule, president of
the Southern Pacific Company, demand
ing a complete survey of the car short
age situation and a fair distribution of
equipment, as well as a definite state
ment as to the outlook for Oregon.
A complaint from A. F. Coates Lum
ber Company, of Portland, that cars
have been ordered since October and
that the orders are unfilled, and a
number of later orders still hanging
fire is only one of the many recently
which have caused Chairman Miller to
make the assertion that the car short
age situation "is more tense at present
than at any time during the past year."
Letter Also Sent to C-W. if? A IS".
In addition , to writing to President
Sproule he also addressed a letter to
J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the
O.-W. R. & .".. in much the same strain.
He said to President Sproule:
We regret to be again obliged to
caU your attention to car shortage mat
ters in Oregon, but the situation is
almost unbearable. Financial ruin has
been and still is staring us in the face
and we feel that to refrain longer
from bringing this question to your
personal notice would not be doing
our duty to Oregon shippers on your
lines.
'Complaints of unjust discrimination
in the distribution of cars are of almost
daily occurrence. Especially Is this
true on the branch lines and at non
competitive points.
Tfo Relief Is Apparent.
'The car shortage today Is fully as
great as a month ago and no relief is
in sight. Our mill men and other ship
pers are making arrangements for
future business and are very anxious
to know what service they may expect
from you.
'If equipment will be available to
handle the volume of traffic ordered.
great development will take place in
all commercial and agricultural lines,
but if this year's experience is to be a
repetition of last year's, lumber mills
and other Industries will necessarily be
hindered and restricted in their activi
ties and the losses suffered this year
will be further augmented.
'Little or no complaint reaches us
relative to car shortage at strong com
petitive points, but numerous letters
have been received alleging that dif
ference In service exists between ship
pers located at remote stations from
those at points more favorably located.
These statements are of such a char-
cter and eo often repeated that we
are forced to the conclusion that there
Is considerable foundation for them.
Loss Declared Enormous.
'It is impossible to estimate the di
rect loss to this state laet year caused
by our inability to market our products,
but it was enormous. The car shortage
was responsible for many failures. Con
fidence in the ability of our mills and
factories to fill orders, cancellation of
orders, which led to the establishment
of business connections elsewhere, the
belief of business men here that their
products cannot be transported to mar
ket promptly, are some or tne causes
for losses.
"This Commission has done all in its
power to relieve tne existing conai
tions and impress upon you the seri
ousness of the situation, and yet we
are being criticised and held respon
sible for things absolutely beyond our
control.
Complete Survey Demanded.
"A complete and adequate survey of
transportation requirements, full in
vestigation of the cutting capacity ot
mills served, and fair and equitable
distribution of all equipment and some
definite statement as to the future will
alone satisfy your Oregon customers.
"In the light of the past, business
men cannot be expected to invest
money in new industries or to main
tain those already in existence and
operate them to a maximum of capac
ity without positive assurance that fu
ture transportation facilities will fully
and adequately meet the demand. Un
less immediate and positive efforts of
securing more motive power and addi
tional frlesht equipment are adopted,
this year will be a duplication of the
very unsatisfactory conditions exist
ing last year. Will you arrange
promptly to meet this need?"

SALEM, Or.. Jan. 30. (Special.)
After studying for a few a ays the
report of the Prison Survey Commission
recently filed with the State Board of
Control, Governor Withycorabe today
said he believed that if an effort were
made to carry out the provisions of
the report, systematically, it would ad

As to the labor situation at the prison
and the possible competition of prison-

policy of the state to avoid competi

possible to dispose of the goods for

Governor. "The commission found but
76 men idle at the penitentiary. With
a proper development of work along the
lines I have suggested, and wlih the ad
ditional employment possible at ihe
prison along other lines, mere enouia
be no idleness, nor should there be any
competition with free labor. It may
be possible that the time will come
when the state may be compelled to
enter Into competition with free labor,
but it will be many years hence.
"While the outlook now is not the
most encouraging for a new building,
as recommended, we should keep that
end in view.
"As to the suggestion for commission
administration of prison affairs, I be
lieve it is sound. I wish to particularly
commend the suggestions along the line
of feeding the men and the need of a
cook, outside of an inmate. The men
should have plain, wholesome food, but
there should be a variety, and the penal
farm should furnish it.
"I also favor the suggestion that
the state divorce itself from the pol
icy of supplying the living needs of
administrative officers of state In
stitutions when their homes are away
from such institutions. Furnish them
a home, but so adjust their salaries
that they be required to pay for the
expense of their own living from their
salaries.
"I am strongly in favor of the re
establishment of the common school
system at the prison. The school work
should be made semi-compulsory."
The Governor also expressed himself
as in accord with the recommendation
to do away with the indeterminate
Bentence law, basing all sentences
upon a fixed term and giving the Pa
role Board power to parole regardless
of any minimum term.
