Nearly all night long the jail
breakers were taken one at a time
and closely questioned. All of them
except Owens talked readil; . Owens,
too, told of his wanderings, but al

when officiajs sought to learn who
had aided them during the first few
days of their flight from the Pendle

Hart talked readily. Without any
outward emotion, he gave the officials
the name of a local man, whom, he
said, had aided them during the first
tw.o days. This man, he eaid, had
brought them food and information
to a hiding place along the Squaw

Although they refused to divulge
the name of the alleged accomplice,
officials said this morning he would
be apprehended at once and held for
searching investigation. This man
was said by the sheriff's deputies to
have been a member of one of the

INCREASED RATES JOLT
(Onttmied From First Page.)
..awjiii d per cent on ircignt, per
cent on passenger, excess baggase
and milk rates, and 60 per eent on
chames for space in sleeping and par-
. . or cars.
The actual increase to the roads
"Baa been estimated at 1.500.000.000
i. but at rresent the exact amount , is
problematical. With passenger audi
Pullman charges advanced, travel
probably will be reduced.
Based on passenger traffic, the in
creases are expected to yield $277,
000,000. all of which was sought to
help absorb the wage advance to rail
road workers, which the railroad
labor board figured would total $618,
000.000. The carriers have figured the
increase at t626.000.000.
The estimated net operating income
of $1,134,000,000 the ra&ds are to re
ceive represents 6 per cent on the
aggregate value of their properties,
which was placed by the commission
at $18,900,000,000.
Should the increase produce more
than the 6 per cent return, half of
the excess would, under the transpor
tation act, be placed in the roads, re
serve funds and the other half turned
over to the Interstate commerce com
mission to establish a revolving fund
for making loans to the carriers or
for purchasing equipment to be
leased to them.
The estimated net Income to be re
ceived by the three groups of roads
is fixed at $ per cent of the valua
tion placed on those groups by the
commission.
The valuation of all the western
roads placed at JS. 100. 000. 000. They
would receive an estimated netoperat
ing income of J4S6.000.000. against
the $337,800,000 sought. The stand
ard return they are now receiving is
$101,000,000.

Which statement, however, is pre
faced by the following: "Since It is
not the province of a campaign chair
man to notify his party, embarrass
his candidate or accept his policies
from his opponents, we cannot but
regard the first important utterance
of George White of the democratic
national committee as being of doubt
ful expediency and probably defective
accuracy. Progressivism, says Mr.
White, will be the paramount Issue or
the campaign. The league of nations
naturally will be one of the greatest
issues that is embraced in the pro
gressive principle. 'Even more ques
tionable is his statement that no iron
bound contract was framed between
candidate and the president and that
Governor fox" pledges of fealty to
his party and its platform are sub
ject to a certain amount of elasticity."
The real sufferer in all of this con
flict of opinion as to whether tne
democratic party stands for the league
of nations is Governor Cox, the can
didate. He has been compelled to go
into hibernation at the trail s end to
avoid being torn to pieces ty tne two
factions, one of which says we stand
for the league as Wilson wants it. and
another declaring that of course there
must be reservations to article a. un

some where the language with which
reservations are discussed among dem
ocrats was changed during the week.
Nullifying reservations have become
clarifying reservation. The really
discontented ones appear to be the
followers of President Wilson, who
already are charging Governor Cox
jith hnvinir broken the pledge made
at the White House to stana squareiy

Two orders were issuea auring tne

than most citizens imagines., une was
the order of Secretary or war isaaer
that army officers should not partici

It will be notea mat mis oraer mi-
lowed closely upon an announcement
from Marlon, O., that General Leonard
Wood had assured senator naraing
of a readiness to go on ine stump
for the republican ticket. The other
was an order by Postmaster-General
Burleson that postorrice employes
must not indulge in political activity.
It will be recalled that prior to tne
recent convention In San Francisco
no fault was found with political ac
tivity of postmasters directed in the

A statement prepareu ana iukcr. io

member of tne aemocranc national
committee showed that half of the
postmasters outside the south were at
that time republicans. Former chair
man Cummlngs complained bitterly
because republicans had grabbed
many good offices In his own state of
Connecticut-
The Burleson order, therefore, was
not issued until it was seen that the
republicans might benefit as much
from campaign contributions from
postmasters as the democrats, while
the democratic position was seriously
menaced by the bitter antipathy of
many postal employes to the slave
driving methods under which they
have labored for the last seven years.

SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 1. (Spe
ciaL) The state central committee
of the non-partisan league will meet
in Seattle tomorrow '.o discuss with
King county officers and members a
Vrevision of the state ticket.
Robert Bridges, indorsed for gov
ernor at Takima, and Elihu Bowles
of Prosser, indorsed for lieutenant
governor, have both stated that they
will not file in the republican pri
maries. Other vacancies have been
reported on the tentative ticket which
must be filed by the state central
committee. The King county leaguers
and many of the Snohomish members
want the state committee to abandon
the plan to operate through the re
publican primaries and, instead, to
make Bridges the nominee of the
farmer-labor party.
Sentiment quickly crystallized at
the convention Saturday in favor of
the referendum and one. of the strong
arguments that will be advanced in
favor of reconsideration is the will
ingness of the socialists to throw in
their lot with the new party in state
and county if all the Independent ele
ments represented at Yakima will
agree to unite under one banner.
The socialists reserve the right, of
course, to vote for Debs for president.
If the independent . units refuse to
merge, the socialists have threatened
to put a state, county and legislative
ticket of their own in the field.
The conventions worked fast yes
terday, and -before adjournment last
night committees had met in joint
conference. The conference commit
tee will meet again at the labor tern
pie next Saturday at B P. M. to dis
cuss candidates. The present plan of
the committee is to recommend to the
state and county conventions on pri
mary election day candidates, and
these recommendations will have the
force of mass action behind them.
Mrs. Wiswell Wilson waa brought
out by the Non-Partlsan league of
the county for superintendent of
schools, and John Carmichael of Issa
quah for commissioner in the north
district. It is probable that these
names will be submitted to the joint
conference Saturday.
