TO .Existing Pacific Northwest Rail road Rates Are Declared ' to Be Detrimental. - SEATTLE. "Wash.. May 8. (Spe cial.) Seattle manufacturers, jobbers and other shippers., alleging that the rate Increases proposed are unjust, unreasonable and excessive and that other changes the existing rates contemplated are detrimental to their interests, yesterday filed with the state department of public works at Olympia and also mailed to the inter state commerce commission at Wash ington, D. C, a formal protest against the tariff recently filed by the Pacific .northwest railroads now making new distributive rates in western Wash ington. The protests were filed through the transportation bureau of the Seattle chamber of commerce, which has asked suspension of the proposed new tariff pending a hearing and has urged that alter a hearing the new tariff be canceled and the carriers ordered to refrain from changing the existing rates. ' The proposed new tariff, filed for the railroads by the North Pacific Coast Freight bureau, is known of ficially as local joint and proportional freight tariff No. IB, and fixes new class and commodity rates between points in Washington, Oregon and British Columbia, though its principal application is to western Washington rates. i The protest to the interstate com merce commission covers the inter state features of the new tariff and the protest to the state department of public works the intrastate rates. The new tariff was filed to become ef fective May 27, but will without doubt be suspended until such time as the protests have been heard. An important allegation of the com plaint filed with the state depart ment of public works is that the pro posed new tariff not only makes un warranted increases in the class rates in western Washington, but also pur poses to abolish all the existing less-than-carload commodity rates - be tween Puget sound and Grays harbor and Willapa harbor points and substi tute class rates, thereby making it impossible for merchants and manu facturers of Puget sound cities to compete in southwestern Washington with merchants and manufacturers of San Francisco and other California cities, who have the advantage of low steamship rates. The protests have been signed by J. D. Mansfield as traffic commis sioner for the transportation bureau and by S. J. Wettrick, the bureau's attorney. The Tacoma chamber of commerce, representing the merchants and man ufacturers of that city, has planned to file similar protests against the pro posed new tariff. - STATUE PLAINT REJECTED Cent ra I ia Leg-ion Post Head Wants Memorial Building.

Dr. Wilhelm Mayes, German ambassador to France, here from Paris' on a summons of Presi dent Ebert, who desired the ambas sador to attempt the formation of a SCENE AT McMINNVILLE COLLEGE MAT-DAY CELEBRATION. MISS MILDRED CHRISTIANSON, QUEEN, IN new cabinet, has informed the presi dent that he could not comply, ac cording to the Vossische Zeitung. No further progress was. made to day toward terminating the cabinet crisis despite Dr. Mayer's efforts to persuade the clericals to agree n conditionally to accept the allied ultimatum. He was endeavoring to unite the clerical party in fa-vor of accepting the ultimatum, hoping that it would' then form the nucleus of an emergency coalition. Dr. Mayer was reported to be im pressing the reichstag leaders with the inevitable necessity of signing and thus showing Germany's willing ness to make sincere efforts to carry out the treaty in the hope that the invasion of the Ruhr and other penalties will not be applied If Bhe temporarily fails to meet her obliga tions in every detai. city mIWeiuits McMLNNVILLE WILL VOTE ON ABS ORBING 'NEW DISTRICT". Measure to Increase Population by 15 Per Cent Will Be on June Ballot. McMINNVILLE, Or., May 8. (Spe cial.) McMinnville has opportunity to increase Its population almost 15 per cent over the 1920 census figures in a. measure which will come be fore the voters in the special elec tion in June. The annexation of ad jacent territory with between ,300 and 400 residents will be proposed in a measure placed upon the ballot by petition of 20 per cent of the reg istered voters in the district involved. Two separate measures will ap pear upon the ballot, one for the cit izens of McMinnville on the question of taking the new district into the city: the other for the voters of the district itself to decide whether or not they are willing to enter the city. The territory involved is knowif as West College side, and lies south west of the city. It is a rectangu lar strip about one-half mile by two miles in dimension. A great deal of it is already well built up, although, street improvements and other facil ities do not compare with the res idence sections in the city. All of the territory was taken Into the city about ten years ago, to gether with a much larger area, but HAS your physician advised you to have a diseased too t)i ex tracted?

Opposition already has developed to the. present measure, and although many of those most active in oppos ing annexation in former years either are dead or are not residing in the section affected, it is expected that a strong fight will be made to keep out of the city. Very little acreage or large hold ings of 'land are involved, however, and it is probable that the measure has enough supporters to carry it. Although McMinnville's present pop ulation was listed at 2767, much of the territory immediately adjacent to the corporate limits has been building up rapidly in the past few years. It is probable that about 30 per cent ad ditional population could be added by the inclusion of all these districts within the city.
