THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1920
STATE AUTHORITY ON
RATES OVERRIDDEN
Fixing of Carrier Charges Is
Held Federal Function.
SWEEPING DECISION MADE
Hates on Intrastate Traffiq. Con
forming to Advanced Interstate
Schedules Are Ordered.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 18. In its first
decision on the right of the federal
government under the transportation
act to require railroad rates within a
state to correspond to the higher
levels of Interstate tariffs, the inter
state commerce commission today
ordered the railroads of New York to
establish passenger and baggage rates
on Intrastate traffic conforming to
advanced interstate schedules. Simi
lar proceedings are pending affecting
more than half the states in the
union.
By Its order of last August the
commission authorized in the New
York region an increase of 40 per
cent In freight rates. 20 per cent in
passenger rates, excess baggage
charges and rates on milk and cream
and al!?o a surcharge of 50 per cent
on Pullman accommodations. The
New York public service commission
granted the freight Advance except on
milk, but denied the other increases
within the state and the carriers ap
pealed to the Interstate commerce
commission.
The 'federal body held that there
was a general obligation resting upon
it "to exercise control over intrastate
commerce so far as it affects inter
state commerce."
Declaive Factor Cited.
"The decisive factor," the ruling
said, "is whether the rates under con
sideration injuriously affect interstate
commerce."
Congress directed that rates be al
lowed which would yield an aggre
gate return of 5 to 6 per cent on
the value of the railway properties,
the commission stated, adding:
"There can be no doubt of the power
of congress to devise and provide for
carrying into effect a plan for assur
ing the nation's interstate railroads
a fair return upon the value of their
property and the full control of con
gress in this matter is not to be denied
on the ground that the carriers' ag
gregate earnings are a commingling
of intrastate revenue and interstate
revenue.
Action Costly to Roads.
"The record shows that the refusal
of the state of New York to permit
the carriers to increase the rates and
fares here in controversy to the ex
tent approved by us is costing the
railroads between HI. 000.000 and 12.
000,000 annually. In other words, the
annual earnings of the interstate car
riers operating in New York are now
between $11,000,000 and $12,000,000
less than they would be if the general
level of rates and fares approved by
us had become effective on intrastate
traffic; and to that extent the de
clared purpose of congress is defeated
by a preferential basis of rates and
fares maintained by authority of the
state of New York.
'It has not happened heretofore
that we have had occasion to make
such an extensive exercise of our
authority as is now contemplated, and
we could not be moved to do so save
by the most cogent reasons. Such rea
sons have been supplied by the situa
tion in which the transportation in
terests of the country were placed
and the action taken by congress to
relieve that situation."
A dissenting opinion was handed
down by Commissioner Eastman, who
contended that the decision of the
majority was beyond the lawful power
of the commission.
Basic Relations Important.
. "The objection is more than techni
cal." he declared, "for it concerns the
basic relations between the state and
the federal government, a matter of
great moment."
Orders issued by the commission
required the new rates to become ef
fective by December 18. on the filing
of five days' notice to the commission
and the public. Increases on commu
tation fares and charges on excess
baggage carried in connection with
such fares was excepted from the
general order yid reserved for future
decision by the commission.

HOES CLOSE NEW DEAL
BIG SEATTLE STEEL STOCK IS
. TAKEX OVER.
Buyers Said to Have Paid $2 50,
WO for Holdings of Vulcan
Manufacturing Company.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. IS. (Spe
cial. Purchase by the Barde Indus
trial company of the structural steel
stock of the Vulcan Manufacturing
company, pioneer steel products con
cern, for a cash consideration under
stood to approximate $250,000,, is an
nounced by L. B. Barde,' general man
gr of the purchasing concern, which
is affiliated with other Barde interests
on the Pacific coast and in New York.
The purchase marks the discontinu
ance for the present of thTstructural
steel business of the Vulcan company,
which has been' owned by Frank
Waterhouse & Co.. since- 191S.
The largest building of the Vulcan
plant used in fabrication and housing
of structural steel will be occupied fcy
the Barde interests ' for six months
under the terms of the contract, dur
ing which period the stock on hand
will be closed out. "Following this
stock disposal, it is probable that the
Barde company will engage in the fab
rication of structural steel in Seattle
on an expanded basis, according to
Mr. Barde.
The Barde interests, which now
maintain Seattle headquarters at the
main plant of the Skinner & Eddy
shipbuilding plant, recently bought
the surplus stock of the United States
shipping board on the Pacific coast,
at a cost of $15,000,000. Through the
affiliation of Barde & Sons of Port
land. Or., the Barde Steel Products
corporation of New York and the
Barde Industrial company of Seattle,
this organization is said to hold the
distinction of controlling a larger
amount of manufactured steel than
any other combination in the world.,
Road Rally Is Held at Banks.
The Inland Loop highway rally of
all the proposed road organisations
of Washington county was held at
Banks Monday night. An executive
committee was appointed consisting
of three from each club, which will
meet at Banks on next Monday night.
Another rally will be held at Cedar
2IiU tomorrow night.
taken to a Jail cell, where he identi
fied Tillman as one of the men. In
Tillman's presence he again related
the loss of his wallet and money.,
Wallet Is Found Intact.
"Have you looked in your overcoat
pocket for your wallet?" queried the
youthful soldier of his victim.
And then, in the presence of Mr.
Deich and detectives, Mr. Riffe
reached into his overcoat pocket and
pulled out his wallet. The $35 in cur
rency was still intact.
This, Mr. Deich believed, was al
most conclusive evidence that young
Tillman had no desire to take part in
any of the robberies, and that he was
forced into it by his older companion
Both soldiers have now come to a
full realization of the enormity of
their crimes and are fearful of their
fate.
Lying on a cot in a barred cell of
police emergency hospital yesterday,
Walters shuddered and moaned in
agony when told that he was to be
charged with first degree murder.
Hiding his head beneath the bed cov
erings he sobbed bitterly.
Former Life Is Related.
Before he broke down completely,
Walters said he was born at Beaver
City. Okla., 24 years ago and that he
joined the 'army in Oklahoma about
two years ago. Hia mother is now
living at Dennison, Tex., he said. He
first went ' to Fort Logan, Col., and
was then transferred to Camp Lewis.
He said he was married several
years ago and later divorced. He was
not in the army during the war, he
said, because he was married. He
also admitted that he had been ab
sent from Camp Lewis without leave
before and on one occasion was ar
rested, in Portland and taken back ts
Camp Lewis. This was about two
months ago. Local police records veri
fied this statement.
He said he and Tillman had left
Camp Lewis Monday afternoon and
had first gone to Olympia. From
there they went to Centralia where
they remained about two days, com
ing to Portland Wednesday after
noon. Holdups Freely Admitted.
He freely admitted the three hold
ups which he engineered here
Wednesday night, and admitted tak
ing the leading part in these crimes.
He said they were without funds
and decided on robbery as a means
of getting money with which to gel
back to Camp Lewis.
Tillman talked willingly to the po
lice. Mr. Deich and reporters.
He said he had left Camp Lewis
with Walters to go to Olympia to
have a good time. There, he said,
they decided to remain away for a
week and take a trip over to Sand
Point. Idaho, where his mother lives.
They first went to Centralia and then
came to Portland.
Investigation by the detective bu
reau yesterday disclosed that Wal
ters had sold an army automatic at
the Pacific loan office for $8 Wednes
day afternoon. He had another army
automatic on him for use in his rob
beries that night.
"I knew that Walters and another
soldier held up a man in Seattle
about a month ago. but I had no idea
he was going to start that kind of
stuff here," said Tillman. "We Just
left Camp Lewis to have a good time
and had money enough to- last us a
week when we left. ,
Threat by Companion Charged.
"The first I knew about any rob
bery was when we were walking up
near a church when some fellow came
by and Walters shoved a gun in his
stomach and ordered him to turn over
his money. He also ordered me to
help search the man.
"I told Walters that I wasn't going
to stand for that kind of stuff and
that he'd have to stop it or I would
leave him. He said if I left him ha
would be the last man I ever, left,
and I was afraid of him."
This first robbery was that of T.
B. Fanning, which occurred at Nine
teenth and Everett streets. This oc
curred about 7 o'clock Wednesday
night. They procured about 60 cents
and a gold watch. Walters ordered
Tillman to hide the watch in his
spiral leggings, where it was found
when Tillmartxwas searched at police
headquarters.
Next Moves ueaerlDea.
"From this place . we went down
toward the river where we held up
two fellows and got about $4," Till
man continued. "After we left there
we went to a motion-picture show
down on Morrison street, near Sec
ond. After the show we went up
toward the depot where we held up
the last fellow.
During each of these three holdups,
Tillman said that Walters compelled
him to assist in searching the victims,
and during the robbery of Riffe,
Walters became angry at him be
cause he apparently could not locate
any money.
"For sake, are you blind?"
be said Walters exclaimed angrily
during the robbery or mrre. -
Tillman said he kept telling Walters
they would be caught, and especially
so after the revolver had been dis
charged when Walters hit Riffe over
the head.
"They'll never get me." he quoted
Walters as boasting as they left the
scene of the Riffe holdup.
Whisky Story la Denied.
Walters yesterday Insisted that he
had procured some moonshine whisky
at Olympia and that he must hart
been drunk in Portland Wednesday,
bus this statement was denied by

either at Olympia or Centralis." said
Tillman. "We had a drink or two of
cider after we got to Portland, but
it wasn't! even hard. I never had a
gun at any time. Walters had two
with him, one of which he sold and
the other he used in the robberies.
"As we were coming down the
street after the last holdup two
policemen stopped us. I stopped, but
Walters started to run. The police
man yelled to him to stop and Wal
ters turned around and fired tt him.
I stood there until after the crowd
started following Walters and then
walked away."
Shell Believed Defective.
Patrolman Thorpe, who was with
Paimet when the latter was -killed,
believed that the shell wihch Walters
fired at him during the gun play was
defective. Walters fired from a short
distance and the bullet struck him In
the chest, piercing his blouse, but
not entering his body.

er have not yet been completed but
it probably will be held Monday.

ROGUE DAM NOT DAMAGED
Rise In River Washes Away Tem
porary Structures.
That the big irrigation dam now be
ing completed in the Rogue river
near Grants Pass was not damaged
as a result of the rise of the river
Wednesday was the news received by
the Ralph Schneelock company yester
day from J. H. Fertig, engineer in
charge of the work there.
This is contrary to first reports
which said that the dam was badly
damaged.
According to the word received
from the local concern the water
merely washed away some of the tern
norary structure built In to break
the river while the concrete was being
poured. The loss consequently will
only be a few hundred feet of lumber
washed down the river.
Man Taken on Larceny Charge.
C W. Powers was taken into cus
tody yesterday at Granite Falls,
Wash., and is now being held at Kver
ett until a deputy sheriff can be sent
from Portland after him. He is
wanted here on a charge of larcepy
by bailee.

A thief of uncertain sex is causing
a neighborhood rumpus in the vicinity

Both Sherlock and Watson have been
consulted, but the thief still is at
large.
Mrs. Johnson finished the family
washing. The clothes hung, snowy-

doing its best to - dry them. The
sun was shining brightly some
where. Then Mrs. Johnson went
shopping.
When she returned someone had
kindly taken the apparel in out of
the rain. It so happened that several
garments of an intimate nature were
included, so Mrs. Johnson had to wear
hubby's nightie last night.
The theory that it might have been
Billy Ooat. or N'anny, as the case
might be, was scouted by Mr. John
son. Knowing that he was the goat,
he refused to be blamed for the oc
currence. And judging from the re
port of the missing articles. tReir
replacement will cause a. deficit lr?
the family treasury.
Neither- the police nor the neigh
borhood sleuths have found a clue.
Everyone is suspected. And in the
meantime Mrs. Johnson plans to use
the autolock on her clothes and let
the flivver take a chance.
