TRIAL RESULTS OVER ROAD
Commissioners Explain Why Pa
cific Highway Was Located
Through Polk County.
Asa B. Robinson, Polk county judge.
s
wus rebuked by Circuit Judge Mc
Court yesterday, when the county
Judge admitted that there was an
agreement or verbal contract with
the state highway commission regard
ing the Pacific highway in Polk coun
ty. Judge McCourt declared in sub.
btance that a county court is expected
tc live up to its promises as much as
a private individual.
The Folk county road injunction trial
will probably close this morning,
having been in progress since Mon
day. Commissioners Benson, Booth,
and Kiddle have been on the stand
and explained their reasons for lo
cating the Pacific highway through
Polk county as they have. The com
niisiioners told of a meeting with
members of the county court at Rick
reall, at which business men, mer
chants and other prominent citizens
of the county were present. At this
meeting an agreement was reached
that if the highway commission would
build a paved road from Salem to
Dallas, the commission could build
the Pacific highway where they
thought best.
Judsc at Only One Meetinj?.
County Judge Robinson, when on
the stand, admitted that he attended
this Kickreall meeting, but he said
he did not attend another road meet
ing at Dallas. Judge McCourt in
quired why, if Mr. Robinson was
county judge and looking after the
Interests of his county, he failed to
attend the Important meeting at
Dallas.
Introduced in evidence were news
papers advertising the road bond elec
tion and showing a map of the pro
posed l'acific highway with spurs to
Dallas and Independence. These maps
were published in the county papers.
Tho highway commission has been
building the road from Salem to Dal
las, but the county court has refused
to prepare the grade for the highway
from Monmouth south. The highway
commission has contended that the
county court should do this in ac
cordance with the agreement. It was
while he was on the stand that Judge
Robinson admitted the promise and
ther. Judge McCourt told him that a
county court is expected to live up to
an agreement the same as a private
individual.
Attorney-Uenerni Gives Opinion.
Mr. Benson, who is chairman of the
highway commission, testified that
thb commission did not act arbitrarily
in locating the Pacific highway
through Polk county. He explained
that the commission acted on an
opinion from the office of the attor-i.ey-geneial
to the effect that the
intent of the law would be carried out
it a spur was built to Dallas and to
Independence.
Mr. Benson further recounted thai
the sole Interest of the commission
was to select the shortest, cheapest
and best route through the county.
Mr. Booth's testimony was to the
same general effect, showing the
agreement with the county officials
regarding the Dallas-Salem road and
the Pacific highway.
In an announcement of the bond
election, offered in evidence, was the
etattment that $40,000 of the bonds
would be applied to preparing the
grade of the l'acific highway north
and south through the county, and an
accompanying map disclosed the
route which the highway commission
has designated.
PARTY LEADER IS CULLED
WASHINGTON REPUBLICAN
SEVERELY CRITICISED.
IS
National Campaign Held Neglected
10 Further Interests of
State Candidate.
TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 1. (Spe
cial.) The activity of Sam Walker,
chairman of the republican state cen
tral committee, in the gubernatorial
fight has precipitated a lively row
about his head which Pierce county
party leaders say may result in the
selection of a new state chairman
after Ihe primary election.
It is an open secret that Elmer
Dover, regional director in the far
west for the republican national cam
paign, found things in a chaotic con
dition in the state central committee
headquarters in Seattle when he vis
ited Puget sound a week ago. In
etead of occupying his time with the
national campaign and the impetus
of Hardlng-Coolidge activity in the
state, the central committee chair
man, it is declared by leading reoub
licans, was found devoting his entire
time, almost, to furthering the po
litical interests of one of the guber
natorial candidates.
waiKer is not unaware of the
trouble, either, it is admitted by local
republicans. He was the recipient of
some strong language last week dur
ing a session in Seattle with Guy
Kelly, national committeeman, and
james jh. Davis, representative, of
j. acoma.

lumber industry report issued today
by Robert B. Allen, secretary-manager
of the West Coast Lumbermen's
association. A meeting of lumber
men and railroad officials is scheduled
for Portland within a few days to ad
just the rate controversy.
"Orders for lumber to be delivered
by rail slumped heavily as a result
of the actual application of emergency-
freight rate Increases,", said the
association report. "Cancellationis of
old business on account of freight
rate increases, taken tn connection
with a depressed demand, has greatly
reduced the unshipped balance for
t ail shipment "
The association report continues:
'Only 922 cars of new business was
taken on at 124 association mills for
the week ending August 2S 1300 cars
less than normal and 800 cars less
than the average since the car short
age became acute. Of the 922 cars
of new business accepted, approxi

territory and of the remain
ing 25 per cent, comparatively little
is for shipment to the heavy con
suming eastern markets where the
west coaist long-haul comes in com
petition with short-haul producers.
Production was 74,622,164 feet or 15
per cent below normal. Ord-ers, in
cluding 11,096.835 feet of cargo busi
ness and 2,847,835 feet of local busi
ness, totaled 41,604.670 feet.
"Orders were 53 per cent below
normal production, and 44 per cent
below actual production. The drive
of shippers to get old business moving
before the effective date of the freight
rate increase resulted in the loading
of 1608 cars. This was about 650 cars
under normal and due to car short
age. ' Total shipments for the week
were 65,133,590 feet, of which 12,663.
589 feet moved by water and 4,230,000
moved by team and automobile truck.
Shipments exceeded orders 57 per cent.
Shipments were 13 per cent below
production. The unshipped balance
in the rail trade is 6879 cars: in the
domestic cargo trade 79,881,905 feet;
in the export trade o7, 227, 331 feet.

Make Exception.
A petition signed by 200 prominent
business men of Portland urging the
council to permit. H. M. Jackson, aged
fiddler, to continue earning his living
by "fiddling" on the streets of this
city was filed with the council yes
terday. Supplementing the petition was an
earnest plea made by Mr. Jackson,
who urged the council to make an ex-
eption of his case to the recent rule
barring mendicants from the streets.
Members of the city council were
ympathetic for the aged fiddler, but
efused to grant his request on the
grounds that to make an exception of
he rule in his case would mean a re
urn to the old plan of having beg
gars by the score on the streets of
Portland.
Mr. Jackson, who is 84 years of age
nd Who is deaf, did not learn of the
council's refusal to grant his request
ntil the council session had ad-
djourned, he having sat throughout
the entire session unnoticed, waiting
for the cltv fathers to disnose. of his
etition.. which incidentally was heard
nd passed upon early in the sessio.

IRISH REBELLION FEARED
TROCBLE IS EXPECTED SHOULD
MAYOR OP CORK DIE.
Republican Leaders Order Volun
teers to Use Full Force to
Prevent Outbreaks.
BY ARNO DOSCH-FLEUROT.
Copyright. 1920. by the New York World.
DUBLIN, Sept. 1. (Special Cable.)
Orders have been given to,the Irish
volunteers to use the full force of
their organization to prevent serious
rebellious outbreaks in the event of
Lord Mayor MacSweney's death. Vol
unteer leaders have gone to Cork,
where trouble ' is expected fast, to
maintain order and not to be led by
what they regard as provocation into
disastrous uprising. The volunteers,
however, are not sure they can hold
down the wrath of the people and
fear such an increase in the struggle
between the people and the soldiers
as to amount virtually to rebellion.
The High Sheriff of Cork told Dub
lin Castle the same thing. I am in
formed on excellent authority that
the difficulty about releasing Mac
Sweney lies in a promise Premier
Lloyd George gave to the military
authorities In Ireland when he put
through the coercion bill. According
to my informant, the military au
thorities of Ireland, backed by Lord
French, were against the coercion
bill, and when the government In
sisted in placing upon them the duty
of enforcing it they insisted upon an
agreement from Lloyd George prom
lsing not to interfere.
They foresaw hunger strikes, and
said that if they were to carry out
the ruthless measure It must be done
unfalteringly. Lloyd George's atti
tude so far bears this out. It now is
appearing publicly, as I -cabled at
the time, that MacSweney was ar
rested because he was the leader of
the Munster , volunteers, but the
court-martial, for some ' unexplained
reason, preferred to try him on a les
ser charge. . I learned recently in
Uoric mat me government nan seizea
sufficient evidence to try him as a
rebellious leader. When he was ar
rested three other prominent volun
teers also were taken, but were re
leased because they were not recog
nized as men the government want
ed. They now are busy trying to pre
vent a rebellion.
The Sinn Fein realizes that insur
rection is its greatest danger, par
ticularly at this moment, when the
Protestant north is renewing attacks
I on Catholics. This type of bigotry is
so foreign to the south and west of
Ireland tthat not a single case has
yet been reported of retaliation on
the many thousands of Protestants
In the south.
If MacSweney is permitted to die
the Sinn Feiners of the south and
west are expected to increase their
political retaliation on the police and
the military in Ireland, and It is con
sidered possible the retaliation may
strike higher, perhaps In England.
