Adjournment of the hearing t i-an Francisco was finally taken, where the conference will be resumed Wednes day of next week. June 25. Two brief recesses were taken during the afternoon, one for the traffic offi cials to consider changes proposed by the lumbermen, aod one for the lumber men to endeavor to reconcile their dif ferences and submit a final report which it was hoped would enable the committee to reach a decision. It be- rame apparent that with such diversl tied interests the lumbermen had found it unable to reach an agreement satis factory to all. The Western Pine Manu facturers' association held that in the adjustments made. Inland empire pro ducers lost much and gained nothing, while California producers benefited by receiving concessions. When the lumbermen presented their recommendations to the traffic commit tees at the opening of the afternoon session, more than half of the rates proposed under the amended tariffs submitted by the committee Thursday were accepted. Changes were asked in a number of instances. Dakota Ratea Caaae Dlaaata The West Coast Lumbermen's asso eiat'on asked that the rate to North baHota. be reduced from 47 to 45 cents and that the rate from California to the northern counties of North Dakota be BsH cents and to the southern part f.8 cents. To South Dakota a rate of 50 cents was desired for the southern half of the state, excepting a triangle in the southeast corner, which should take a 55-cent rate, and asked for a 47 rent tariff for the northern half of that state. The tariff rate to the Dakotas became the subject of considerable dis cussion, as the lumbermen strenuously objected to the proposed rate, which the traffic men contended could not be consistently reduced and harmonise with the Omaha rate. There were a number of other reductions desired In the amended tariff, one of which was a request for grouping Indiana, western Ohio and southern Michigan and mak ing a 68-cent rate in lieu of the 70-cent shown on the schedule. A. W. Cooper, president of the West ern Pine Manufacturers' association, asked that the Inland Empire producers be given the same tariff rates, into southern Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas as the Truckee group enjoys. H stated that under existing rates the pine men have the same rates on the Rock Island and Santa Fe lines as on the Union Pacific, with a differential of J cents over the north Pacific coast producers, and therefore felt entitled to the same rates as the Truckee group under the proposed tariff. Coaater Proposals Rejected Speaking for the committee after their consideration of the counter pro posals of the lumbermen. Chairman Robinson told the conference that the committee could not accept the various propositions, explaining the reasons In each case, but said that the committee would not be averse to recommending a 69-cent rate for points in the state of Indiana. Some adjustments were made to apply the principle that where a tariff rate has been fixed to cities at the line of another state, cities ad jacent across the boundary would take the same rate. This was done with especial reference to cities on the Mis souri and Mississippi rivers, and to points within 15 miles of Philadelphia. The opinion of lumbermen that there ran an increase In rates to Cen tral Frelsrht association territory, whlrh embraces states east of Chicago and north of the Ohio river, was dis--ircd and existing tariffs checked to show that such was not the case. President Cooper, for the western pine men. protested vigorously against the Increase from SO to S! cents to New l'ncland territory, including Maine. "Tho tariff penalises the In land empire." he said, "and asks that we accept an increased charge into practically all territory In "which we find our market. New England is one of our best markets, and one which we jefk. and this Increase of 60 cents per thousand feet seems to us unjust. Kvery increase hits the Inland empire shippers, and while we recognlre that California is entitled to certain ad justments we do rot think that it should be at our expense." LaaKfrnra Geaeroas. J. B. Baird. author of the tariff and traffic manager of the Northern Pa cific, expressed discouragement that the lumbermen had not shown the spir it of generosity which he had hoped for when the committee made conces sions in the amended tariff that had bem submitted. Ho said the lumber men accepted every concession grant Vd and then asked for more. J. X. Teal, attorney for the West Coast Lumbermen's and Redwood asso ciations; remained optimistic as to ulti mately reaching an amicable agree ment, but insisted upon the claim for lowering the rates into the Dakota xones as one concession for which the lumbermen would contest There was reiterated by traffic men and lumbermen the earnest desire to reach a common understanding upon whlrh they could go before the Chicago committee to make recommendations on a final, definite proposition. There are so many things Involved in the proposed tariff besides the rates that It is deemed highly desirable that it be agreed upon. For one thing, it would introduce a radical change in methods of rate-making. It will not abolish in transit privileges, as was originally Intended, because there Is a strong demand that this be retained, but should carry an added charge to cover the service provided, in the opin ion of the committee. It was agreed that certain items should ba taken from the classification and placed in class D items, but the matter of classi fications does not appear to ba one of contention beyond some slight adjust ments. The principal rates to the points in zones fixed by the amended schedule of tariff No. 12 A from north coast and California points in cents, per 100 pounds, are as follows: North Dakota, western part N. C. 43, remainder of state, 47; South Dakota, southwest por tion. N. C. 45. west-northwest portion 50, northern portion 47, southern por tion 55. (As drafted there were no Cali fornia rates made to North and South Dakota, but were provided for by rec ommendation of the lumbermen.) mi . f -N'A : i fe-. , - . 111 1 J w mvifiTT niiiT ifiniii iiTrrr-sT iiiTri"i.iisa4WhirTirti-Tis.'ini an t'T'iii- it - irr -- -Ti i m nrnsir -n-ni-- t-i A - .? i liliisls a ill 1 sjttWiiiir;iii iiTM- rfniinni-i-iTi,---iai"rita-i'iiriTfiiiiiiiV iTir' riwr iVViyirp .. - ..jauba: v-:Vv ''"o-y Bryaat Waahbara and Tata leadlnsT woanaa.

Helen Ferguson, who has just fin- shed an important part in "The Lost Battalion," a picture of the 77th di vision, has been engaged as leading lady opposite Harry Morey in a pic turization of Charles Klein's "The Gam blers." Nearly one-third of the photoplays produced within the last year are based on standard or current literature, magazine stories, operas or stage plays. This Is determined from an examina tion of the new "Garden of American Motion Pictures" issued by the national board of review, 70 Fifth avenue. New Tork, which gives the sources, so far as known, of the photoplays seen by the board during the 12 months ending April 1. 1919. .which are judged "suit able for the family programme, young people and special entertainments." World Pictures, which is distributing "Little Orphant Annie." a five-reel fea ture from the famous poem of the same name by James Whltcomb Riley, is in receipt of a large number of letters from Riley clubs throughout the coun try asking for information as to when this picture will be seen in their home towns and at what theater. The fact that the Riley clubs are composed of adults dissipates the impression that some exhibitors have that this is a pic ture whose greatest appeal is among children. Ruth Roland Is doing Broadway for few days and dividing her time be tween the Fifth avenue shops and the Pat he offices.

The Irish-American delegates have filed a fresh appeal to the American peace commission in the shape of a suggestion that the commissioners "officially or individually" aid in securing the release of Countess Markiovicz, minister of la bor in the "republican cabinet," who was jailed recently in Ireland.
