OUSTER DELAY SOUGHT
Civic Clubs Commit lee Will Dis
patch Representative to Wash
ington if 'eed Arises.
Portland's railroad terminal situa
tion is now up to the interstate
commerce commission, the public
service commission -of Oregon and
the city having- wired- a brief out
line of the case, and full details
axo on the way by mail.
The vital feature now is to obtain
a stay of execution of the ouster
order, served on the Great Northern
and the Spokane, Portland & Seattle
lines by the Isorthern Pacific Ter
ir.inal company, 60 per cent of the
stock of which Is controlled by the
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
ffyrstems.
On behalf of the state commission
Fred U. Buchtpl, chairman, last night
wired to Clyde B. Aitchison of Ore-
son, a member of the Interstate com
incrce commission, and to John L.
Benson, general solicitor at Washing
ton, D. G urging the necessity and
treat importance of an emergency re
straining order. Mr. Bucbtel wired
Mr. Aitchison personally, not only bo
ra aye he is in intimate touch with
the situation here, but hscause be
eared some r.f the other members
rt'ight be away from the capital on
vacation, and he is of the opinion that
- Mr. Aitchison will make a special ef
fort to get the facts before the mem
bers at the earl.est possible time.
Injunction Is Sought.
It Is to obtain such an injunction
to prevent the execution of the ous
ter notice, effective December 31,
that the members of the Btate com
mission and the city council, also
Mayor Baker's special civlo clubs
committee, are now directing their
fforta. The time is so short that
they are urging their case before the
interstate commission by telegram. A
reply is expected at any time, and It
is bolieved that the restraining order
will be granted, but that a hearing
with relation to it will be held, either
here or in Washington, D. C, and
that it may be necessary to send
personal representatives to go into
full details.
As previously published, Fred G.
Buchtcl, chairman of te state public
service commission, personally took
up the city's terminal cas when it
was first submitted to the comrais
eion last week, leaving State Com
missioners Corey and Williams in
charge of the gas hearing, which is
in progress, in order to give the ter
minal subject full attention. Data
were compiled by the commission's
staff and the full brief dispatched to
Washington by registered letter yes
terday. In addition telegram carried
a brief outline and stressed the
urgency of a restraining order to
eave the public great confusion ann
inconvenience should the terminal
tenant roads be permitted to oust
the non-tenant lines December 31.
Special Committee Meets.
Mavor Baker's special committee,
f which H. B. Van Duzer, president
of the Chamber of Commerce, is
chairman, met at noon yesterday,
heard a statement from City Attor
ney La Roc he, committee secretary;
on the recent developments in the
case, and voted to send, if necessary,
one of its own members to Washing
ton, D C, to supplement any others
the city or state might send and to
show the interest of the city's civlo
organizations in the case.
The clubs represented on the com
mittee by their presidents also will
back up the officials in the case in
creating sentiment, it "was voted.
Ttlrgnms are Sent.
Telegrams were sent to the inter
Ftate commission yesterday by Mr.
Van Duzer, chairman of the mayor's
committee, and by Mr. LaRoche as
citv attorney. Mr. Van Duzer wired:
"This committee, representing all
of the civic organizations of the city
of Portland, urges you to grant the
petition for a preliminary order pre
serving the present status1 in the
matter of public service commission
against Northern Pacific Terminal
company, filed with you, so that the
matter may be fully investigated on
ts merits."
Mr. LaRoche's telegram was as
follows:
"City of Portland desires to inter
vene in public service commission of
Oregon against Northern Pacific Ter
minal company and others and re
quests present situation be preserved
until you can pass on merits oi peti
tion. Therefore urges favorable ac
tion on application for preliminary
order as this action is vital to inter
ests of Portland."
CALIFORNIA ASKS FOR DATA
Information as to Portland Ter
minal to Be Used In Oakland.
SALEM, Or., Dec. 20. (Special.)
The California public service commis
sion has written to the Oregon pub
lic service commission asking for
information with regard to the stat
us of th&Portland terminal, joint use
of which is in controversy at the
present time. Information to be fur
nished by the Oregon commission
will be used, according to the letter
from the California officials, in set
tling a dispute involving the Oakland
Pier terminal, which is being used
jointly by the Santa Fe and South
ern Pacific railroads.
Fred G. Butchel, chairman of the
Oregon public service commission,
said today that It was his under
standing that the controversy at Oak
land was somewhat similar to that
involving the Portland terminal.
TU If
SING QUITS CIDER TRADE
Apple Juice Ferments Too Easily
to Make it Safe.'
Fervent action of accumulated sed
iment in the bottom of a cider barrel
got B. Sing Into $250 worth of trou
ble with the United States govern
ment. Sing settled his debt yesterday
and announced in federal court his
permanent retirement from the soft
drink business In Portland and adher
ence to his regular cannery line in
the future. ,
Sing got into the retail business
here last June, and soon afterward
federal investigators noticed a num
ber of patrons with uncertain footing
emerging from his place in the north
end. They entered and found about
100 gallons of extremely hard cider.
It was. Sing's practice to pour his
new stock into an old keg with
plenty of dregs in the bottom. This
speedily generated alcohol, and his
place proved popular until closed.
Judge Wolverton levied the fine.
