HEARING NEARS CLOSE Time and Speed on Runs Between Two Cities Shown to Be Worse Than in Other Big Zones. THEORKGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, "Washington, D. C, Dec. 11. In . 1oint of time and speed passenger ; train service between Portland and , Seattle over the tracks used jointly by the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation company, the North ern Pacific and the Grat Northern i.s virtually the worst in America between any two important cities, K. N. Finch, superintendent of the O.-W. R. & N"., which is a part of the Union Pacific system, admitted on the witness stand today before the interstate commerce commission, j Joint Track ape Opposed. I The examination of Mr. Finch 1 was a feature of the hearing on the : Southern pacific company's applica-; tion for authority to retain parts1 of its system in the corporate name of the Central Pacific until the ! commission determines what dispo-, sitiort shall be made of the Central Pacific in the final railroad con- i solidation plan. j The Southern Pacific contends that 1 joint use -of tracks would be one of the unsatisfactory results the pub-! lie would face if tn Central Pacific j were divorced from the Southern: Pacific. j Mr. Finch's admission as to the j slew service given over the joint tracks of the three railroads, be- 1 tween Portland and Seattle, was made in reply to questions by Fred H. Wood, attorney for the Southern Pacific. Speed of Trains Slow. The questions and answers were as follows: Q. What speed does your fastest train over that line make? A. Six hours and 40 minutes. J. And howymuch is that an hour? A. Close to 1!S .miles an hour. Q. Close to US miles an hour over a track with seven miles of 1.2 pe:- cent grade and the remainder level? A. Pardon" me, Mr. Wood, how was that? tj. Po you know of any place in the 1 r.ited States between two cities of equal importance where there is worse passen Kt train service from the standpoint of t ime and speed thaij there is between Portland and Seattle? A. Yop are. taking in a pretty wide territory. 1 haven't checked up all the passenger train service in the United States. Mr. Wood. tj. Do you know of any place in the United States between two cities of tquat importance where the passenger P'avH requires the running of at least sIa trains a day each way, where the fastest train between those cities runs ut as low a rate of speed as miles an hour on a double track? A. Why, no; I don't recall any. Hearing In Final Ntntc'. Mr. Finch was recalled for cross examination by the Southern Pa cific representatives.' At consider able length Mr. Finch was ques tioned as to his assertions that joint use of railroad facilities in the northwest on any extensive scale had proved practical, efficient and satisfactory to the public. Mr, Finch originally was called by the Union Pacific, which is op posing the Southern. Pacific's at tempts to regain control of the Cen tral Pacific, despite the supreme court's separation order. Hearings before the commission entered the final stages today when introduction of direct testimony was completed. .Attorneys representing the various interests concerned, however, arraneed to call new wit nesses in rebuttal. In addition a tentative agreement was reached for extensive oral argu ment before the commission after th briefs in the case have been com pleted and filed. the court had held In the case of Lipke versus Leddrer, collector, de cided last June, that a collector of internal revenue could not punish by fine and penalty for an. alleged criminal offense without hearing, in formation, indictment or ,trial by jury. Trial in Held Necessary. r The function of a tax, the court said, "is to provide for the support of the government; the function of a-penalty clearly involves the idea of punishment for infringement of the law." To impose a penalty notice must be given, it added, and there must be a hearing. "Even though the imposition is considered a tax," it stated, "if it has punitive purposes, it - must be preceded by opportunity to contest its validity." Congress never intended, the court continued, that penalties, for crime should 'be enforced through the se cret findings and summary action of executive officers. The guaran tee of due process of law and trial by jury, the justice stated, are not to be forgotten or disregarded. The collector of internal revenue should have been restrained by the courts through an injunction, he added, from seizing the property and attempting to enforce the so-called taxes and assessments he had levied.

EUROPE 5 URGED BY POPE First Consistory Is Held by New Pontiff. EIGHT, CARDINALS -NAMED Monsignor Giovanni -llonzano, Apostolic Delegate in Wash ington, Is Elected. ' ROME. Dec. 11. (By the Associ ated Press.) In his allocution at his first consistory today Pope Pius XI referred to the conference at Genoa and s-imiiar meeting's, asserting that he would reiterate o the forthcom ing Brussels conference his exhorta tion to the Genoa delegates, to con sider remedies for the sad condition of many of the world's peoples. He said that conferences such as the proposed Brussels meeting Tvere useless and likely to cause bitter and dangerous disappointment un les the governments decide to tem per justice with charity. The ceremony for the creation of new cardinals was held in the pres ence of all the cardinals living in Rome. They were headed by Car dinal Vincenzo Vannutelli. The pontiff delivered an address in Latin describing and praising those whom he intended to raise to the purple and ending with the tra ditional formula wherein the con sent of the sacred college for the appointment of new members is re quested. . A'ew Cardinals Are Listed. The eight cardinals created today were: Monsignor Achille Locatelli, nun cio in Lisbon; Monsignor Giovanni Bonzano, apostolic delegate in Washington; Monsignor Henriquez Rey y Casanova, archbishop of Toledo; Monsignor Alexis- Charost, archbishop of - Rennes; Monsignor Arthur Stanislaus T.ouchet, arch bishop of Orleans; Monsignor Eu genio Tosi, archbishop of Milan; Monsignor Giuseppe Mori, secretary of the congregational council of Jesuits, and the Rev. Father Franz Ehrle, 'formerly the Vatican libra rian. At 10 o'clock the pope, attended by his ecclesiastical court, entered the hall of the consistory wheTe the cardinals assembled and seated himself on the throne covered with crimson damask. He wore the "mozzetta," a short red velvet fur trimmed cape; the falda, a white taffeta train, and a red stole. Palestine Protest Made. In his allocution the pope pro tested against the conditions in Pal estine, where the large Catholic in terests were not being sufficiently safeguarded; pointed to the need for continued help for Russia, in view of the distressing conditions there, and urged re-establishment of peace and order throughout the world. In regard to Palestine, he recalled the allocution of the late Pope Bene dict In the consistory which, charged that the Jews were "taking advan tage of the suffering of the inhab itants, due to the war." He de plored the privileged position en joyed by the Jews in Palestine, "which is dangerous for Christendom." Pope Pius added that he adopted this as his protest and that he would carry out his predecessor's inten-1 iions as expressed on that occasion so that "in the settlement of the holy land the rights of the Cath olics and all other Christians may be safeguarded." . Happiness Is Voiced. The pope voiced his happiness at welcoming the cardinals, who were assembled for the first time since his elevation. He also delivered a eulogy on his"'predecessor. He announced his coming Chris tian encyclical, containing the pro gramme of his pontificate, which he summarized in these words: "The peice of Christ in the king dom of Christ." , The pope voiced his great anxiety for the pitiable condition iitfo which the eastern peoples were thrown "by the recent catastrophes.1 He recalled what the holy see had done in the way of alleviation, though remedies' are always, alas, inade quate in such an extreme condition of things. Nor was there much less cause for sorrow regaruing the case of unhappy Russia. Exhortation to Be Repeated. With regard to the coming allied conference at, Brussels the pope said he would address the delegates there the same exhortation directed at the -Genoa conference, namely, "that they might consider the sad conditions in which all peoples are struggling, and what are efficacious remedies to bo applied to such. grave calamities." "Indeed," he added, "such con ferences will be, useless and will develop into a bitter and dangerous delusion for the suffering nations until such time as the governments decide to temper justice with char ity, which policy will finally re bound to the advantage of the vic torious and the vanquished." He pressed the hope that the ef forts of the church would be com pletely successful in restoring peace and order. PREACHERS SGDRE KLfiN GOTHAM PASTORS DEVOTB SERMONS TO KLUXERS.

The invis ible empire was the object of 'vitri-'j olic anti-Ku Klux Klan sermons de- livered in several churches as a re- j suit of an announcement by Assist- ant, District Attorney Ferdinand Pe- j cora that he will resume his probe i into klan activities here. While pastors denounced the klan from their pulpits, Pecora declared that he was not fully satisfied with his recent interview with Rev. Osoar Haywood, leading Ku Klux organ- : izer in New York, and will recall j the minister for a more complete ex planation of his connection with the klan. At the Hotel McAlpin, where the Rev. Mr. Haywood stayed for severs-. I weeks after being requested to leave the Hotel Hermitage, it was said today he had checked out Saturday and left no forwarding address. Pecora stated that he had in his possession the names and addresses of many leaders of the klan in New York and that he would request these men to appear to give an ac count of .their activities and sub pena them if necessary. Among the sermons delivered here Sunday excoriating the klan were those given by the Rev. John Roach Stratou, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, which recently dropped the Rev. Mr. Haywood from its calendar as general evangelist, and by the Rev. Ralph W. Sock man, pastor of the Madison-Avenue Methodist Epis copal church. Dr. Straton characterized the Ku Klux Klan in the south and west as a "white terror" largely under the "domination and leadership of a lot of 'lame duck'- preachers." "They play out in the ministry," said Dr. Straton, "and then, instad ,of . selling insurance or peddliitg churns as they did in former times, they devote their time and talents to 'saving the country' by organizing men into secret, disgusting societies and dressing them up in, nightgowns and dunce caps." Speaking as a southerner himself. Dr. Straton declared that he does not believe the klan movement rep resents the .better thought of the souyi.
