FEDERAL RULE REVIEWED
lopular Belief Regarding Govern-
ment War Outlay Refuted by
' Northern Pacific Officials.
"Despite the wide-spread contrary
belief, the g-overnment did not
pend a cent on the railroads, for
equipment, improvements, additions
or betterment, except at the expense
of the corporations," asserted W. H.
Tyle"r, vice-president of the Northern
Pacific system, in charge of opera
tion, in a discussion yesterday of the
transition from public to private con
trol. Headed by J. M. Hannaford, presi
dent of the system, a large party of
Northern Pacific executives arrived in
Portland yesterday morning, and
spent the day inspecting the com
pany's Interests in this city. The
visit is the first tour of inspection
since the return of the line from gov
ernment control.
. Party to LTe Today.
President Hannaford and party will
leave today on the return trip to the
various cities from which the execu
tives were assembled. The majority
of, the party is from the general
headquarters at St. Paul. Complete
personnel of the members of the in
spection tour Is as follows:
J. M. Hannaford, president. St Paul,
Minn.: W. T. Tyler, vice-president in
charge of operation, St. Paul; J. G.
Woodworth, vice-president, in charge
of traffic St. Paul: A. M. Cleland.
passenger traffic manager, St. Paul;
A. D. Charlton, -general passenger
agent. Portland; F. H. Fogarty, as
sistant general freight agent, Port
land: George T. Reid, assistant to
president. Tacoma, Wash.; J. M.
Rapelje, general manager, St. Paul;
E. C. Blanchard, assistant general

M. Perkins, assistant chief engineer,
Bt. Paul; H. M. Curry, mechanical
superintendent, St. Paul; W. J. Bohan,
assistant mechanical superintendent,
St. Paul; I H. Wakefield, general
storekeeper, St. Paul.
"In dealing with the present situa
tion," said President Hannaford, "we
find the most difficulty and impa
tience manifest on the part of lum
bermen who are not getting suffi
cient cars. When one considers that
we are emerging from a situation
where the cars on 250,000 miles of
road were regarded for two years as
common equipment, and that those
that had the most equipment at the
close of government control are ex
rclslng all Ingenuity to hold on to
it, the car shortage becomes less
puzzling."
Serious Condition Faced.
v lce-i-resiaent Tyler, who was as
sistant to Carl Gray, director of op
ration under government control of
the lines, and who later succeeded
Mr. Gray to that post, upon the resig
nation of the latter, talked concisely
and clearly of the car shortage, its
causes, and probable duration.
"The requirement in freight cars,
said Mr. Tyler, "for replacement
alone, .superseding worn-out and ob
solescent equipment, is between
100,000 and 123,000 cars a year. Dur
ing 1914 and 1915 practically no equip
ment was added to the lines. During
1916 construction Was normal again
.But in 1917 It slackened, owing to
the shortage of material and labor,
and during the 26 months of govern
mental control only 100,000 cars were
added to the equipment of the roads.
"We are confronting a condition,
not a theory. If all the money in
the world were available, the roads
couldn t wave a magic wand and re
place those cars the deficit of four
years.
"The situation for early replenish
ment Is not encouraging, because of
the shortage of material still pre
vailing. The steel strike threw the
output behind, and then the coal
strike pushed- it further to the rear.
""The roads are three years in ar
rears in car construction, in replace
ment alone, to say nothing of meet
ing the demands of growth. The
public must recognize that condition,
and admit that it is not the fault of
the railroads or of the government.
"It is often said that the govern
ment took over a lot of worn-out
properties, rehabilitated them at pub
lic expense at a coet of 1, 700, 000, 000
and then returned them to their
original owners.
U..S. Preferred Creditor.
"The truth Is that not a dollar was
so spent by the government on the
railroads. Before any work was done
the corporations agreed upon the
plans and gave approval to the pro
jects. Then the government financed
the work, at 6 per cent interest as a
preferred creditor. "
"It is true that the government
lost money in operation, because it
did not increase the rates in propor
tion to the increases in labor and
material. And there has been an in
crease of 200 per cent in costs of ma
terial, while the increase in wages
has been 106 per cent. Contrasted
with these advances in operating ex
pense, the increase in rates has been
but 25 per cent. ,,To be exact it has
been 22.6 per cent.
"The director-general had to choose
between increasing rates or operating
at a deficit the latter to be met ulti
mately by taxation. He chose the
second plan, because he felt that the
cose oi materials would not be per
manent and hesitated to increase
rates on that basis.
Public Patience Urged.
"With respect to the Northern Pa
cific system we find, on this trip,
that the railroad has been well main
tained as to lin?s and service, but
it has not had applied to it the rails,
ties and ballast that were customar
ily applied before federal control. It
will take time to bring the mainte
nance back to standard and to re
gain certain ground lost during the
war period of government control.
"Public patience should be with the
roads at this period. They have lost
ground through no fault of their own.
or of the government, but In the gen
eral service of the nation, and time
should be given them for adjustment
of their affairs."
President Hannaford said that the
proposal to transfer permanently the
trains of the Spokane, Portland &
Seattle line to Union station, instead
of the North Bank, met with his
approval and would undoubtedly be
favorably considered should the pro
posal be submitted.

TO
TRACE LIQUOR OWNER.
. Goodwin of San Francisco Sur
renders; Ownership of Wine
by Jones Is Denied.
Canceled checks, payable to A.
Goodwin of San Francicso and issued
by H. J. Jones, who was convicted In
federal court last week under the
reed amendment, and fined J500,
brought Goodwin Into the office of
Deputy United States Attorney
Reames yesterday morning, with a
declaration of guilt, and later re
sulted in a similar fine.
Goodwin declared that the liquor,
recently seized in the raid on the
Brunswlck-Balke-Collender company's
store, and which caused Jones to en
ter a plea of guilty, was owned by
himself. He denied that Jones or
anyone else had any interest in the
wines and whisky that had been
cached in the store.
Goodwin, taken before Federal
Judge Wolverton yesterday afternoon,
entered a plea of guilty to violating
the Reed amendment, which prohibits
the transportation of liquor, and was
fined $500. He said that the liquor
was purchased by him in the old days
before aridity, and that he Shipped It
to Portland from his San Francicso
home.
Goodwin's connection with the case
was discovered through the preva
lence of canceled checks, issued to
him, among the private papers of
Jones. While federal agents were
hunting him with a warrant, Goodw'n
walked into the prosecutor's office
and introduced himself.

WHO CONFERRED IN PORTLAND
FUNERAL NOT YET SET
BISHOP HUGHES BODY
ARRIVE FRIDAY.
MAY
Messages of Sympathy Come In. to
Family From All Parts of Coun
try; Succession Discussed.
Funeral arrangements for the late
Matt S. Hughes, resident bishop of
Oregon, Methodist Episcopal church,
are indefinite because It is not known
as yet Just when the body, which was
sent from Cleveland, O., yesterday
will reach Portland, where his widow.
a daughter and a son live. It prob
ably will arrive Jf'rlday.
Numerous telegraphic condolences
were received by the widow from all
parts of the country yesterday, as
well as many from local people over
the telephone and in person. The
General Ministerial association, at its
meeting in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium,
adopted a resolution of deep regret.
This was introduced by Dr. Edward
H. Pence, pastor of Westminster Pres
byterian church. The Methodist
Episcopal ministers, at a special
called session, authorized the appoint
ment of Dr. E. C. Hickman, pastor of
Wilbur church; Rev. Alexander R.
MacLean of Central church and Dr.
J. H. Irvine of Woodlawn church, as
a committee to draft resolutions.
Bishop Hughes' place as general su
perintendent of the Portland area
may or may not be filled pending the
election of bishops at the regular
quadrennial session at Des Moines
next month. The discipline provides
two methods whereby his episcopal
supervision may be assigned to an
other. Joseph F. Berry, senior ef
fective bishop, has authority and the
board of bishops, scheduled to meet
in Kansas City April 23, may act.
Adna W. Leonard, resident bishop
of California, might be chosen, as his
work comes closest to that of the late
Bishop Hughes. Bishop Leonard is
fairly well acquainted with northwest
probTems, having been pastor of the
First church at Seattle when he was
elected to the episcopacy in 1916.
